tracing, page-allocator: add trace event for page traffic related to the buddy lists The page allocation trace event reports that a page was successfully allocated but it does not specify where it came from. When analysing performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be examined. This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being allocated from the buddy lists. It distinguishes between being called to refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation. Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists. This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a page-allocator-intensive workload. The coalescing and splitting of buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to enter this path.

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: vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() livelock This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description, please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74. Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock: kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to 0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at 73ce02e9 in detail. If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0. It assume high-order users can still perform direct reclaim if they wish. Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on zone->all_unreclaimble= . This is because to avoid too early oom-kill. So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop. In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill the process. As described in: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737 We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy. Thus this patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates zone reclaimable state every time. Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable. Because, it is racy. commit 929bea7c71 (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

mm: track mmu notifiers in fs_reclaim_acquire/release fs_reclaim_acquire/release nicely catch recursion issues when allocating GFP_KERNEL memory against shrinkers (which gpu drivers tend to use to keep the excessive caches in check). For mmu notifier recursions we do have lockdep annotations since 23b68395c7c7 ("mm/mmu_notifiers: add a lockdep map for invalidate_range_start/end"). But these only fire if a path actually results in some pte invalidation - for most small allocations that's very rarely the case. The other trouble is that pte invalidation can happen any time when __GFP_RECLAIM is set. Which means only really GFP_ATOMIC is a safe choice, GFP_NOIO isn't good enough to avoid potential mmu notifier recursion. I was pondering whether we should just do the general annotation, but there's always the risk for false positives. Plus I'm assuming that the core fs and io code is a lot better reviewed and tested than random mmu notifier code in drivers. Hence why I decide to only annotate for that specific case. Furthermore even if we'd create a lockdep map for direct reclaim, we'd still need to explicit pull in the mmu notifier map - there's a lot more places that do pte invalidation than just direct reclaim, these two contexts arent the same. Note that the mmu notifiers needing their own independent lockdep map is also the reason we can't hold them from fs_reclaim_acquire to fs_reclaim_release - it would nest with the acquistion in the pte invalidation code, causing a lockdep splat. And we can't remove the annotations from pte invalidation and all the other places since they're called from many other places than page reclaim. Hence we can only do the equivalent of might_lock, but on the raw lockdep map. With this we can also remove the lockdep priming added in 66204f1d2d1b ("mm/mmu_notifiers: prime lockdep") since the new annotations are strictly more powerful.

mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature. This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and analyze it from this stored information. In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime without considerable memory waste. Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free, using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched. And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug. Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature using this interface. I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature, but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

mm: page table check Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed. Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double mapping. When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that this page does not have an anonymous mapping We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed (i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.

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.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency and throughput on the individual job can be enormous. In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way to quantify resource pressure in the system. A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO, respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay accounting delays: cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache io: tasks are waiting for io completions These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages, and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs. To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s, 1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocating and freeing CPUs. On system with small per-CPU data cache slice, pages shouldn't be cached before draining to guarantee cache-hot. But on a system with large per-CPU data cache slice, some pages can be cached before draining to reduce zone lock contention. So, in this patch, instead of draining without any caching, "pcp->batch" pages will be cached in PCP before draining if the size of the per-CPU data cache slice is more than "3 * batch". In theory, if the size of per-CPU data cache slice is more than "2 * batch", we can reuse cache-hot pages between CPUs. But considering the other usage of cache (code, other data accessing, etc.), "3 * batch" is used. Note: "3 * batch" is chosen to make sure the optimization works on recent x86_64 server CPUs. If you want to increase it, please check whether it breaks the optimization. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 70.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 46.1% to 21.3%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 89.9%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve memory-side-cache utilization Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10. This patch (of 3): Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC (high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in front of higher latency persistent memory [1]. Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here: It's been a problem in the HPC space: http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/ A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing users to deploy remedies like: "To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job; nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth falls below 300 GB/s." A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e58f ("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized ("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance. However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case. The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance. Here are some performance impact details of the patches: 1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a 3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts. The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node. 2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8% for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%. 3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with randomization in one case. 4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some improvements and some losses [3]. While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0 parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems. Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first onlined. Quoting Kees: "While we already have a base-address randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't important: only the relative positions between allocated memory). This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc. I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator." While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated. However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization. Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch). The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10, 4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling. MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the expectation that the security implications of finer granularity randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to other memory initialization work. This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together, page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant impact to the cache conflict rate.

mm: introduce Reported pages In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page type. To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being cleared. The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1 pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the scatterlist. When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the free list becomes the first entry in the list. It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing the list. The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up again in roughly 2s and exit.

mm/page_alloc: convert "report" flag of __free_one_page() to a proper flag Patch series "mm: place pages to the freelist tail when onlining and undoing isolation", v2. When adding separate memory blocks via add_memory*() and onlining them immediately, the metadata (especially the memmap) of the next block will be placed onto one of the just added+onlined block. This creates a chain of unmovable allocations: If the last memory block cannot get offlined+removed() so will all dependent ones. We directly have unmovable allocations all over the place. This can be observed quite easily using virtio-mem, however, it can also be observed when using DIMMs. The freshly onlined pages will usually be placed to the head of the freelists, meaning they will be allocated next, turning the just-added memory usually immediately un-removable. The fresh pages are cold, prefering to allocate others (that might be hot) also feels to be the natural thing to do. It also applies to the hyper-v balloon xen-balloon, and ppc64 dlpar: when adding separate, successive memory blocks, each memory block will have unmovable allocations on them - for example gigantic pages will fail to allocate. While the ZONE_NORMAL doesn't provide any guarantees that memory can get offlined+removed again (any kind of fragmentation with unmovable allocations is possible), there are many scenarios (hotplugging a lot of memory, running workload, hotunplug some memory/as much as possible) where we can offline+remove quite a lot with this patchset. a) To visualize the problem, a very simple example: Start a VM with 4GB and 8GB of virtio-mem memory: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000033fffffff 9G online yes 32-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 12G Total offline memory: 0B Then try to unplug as much as possible using virtio-mem. Observe which memory blocks are still around. Without this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 0x0000000148000000-0x000000014fffffff 128M online yes 41 0x0000000158000000-0x000000015fffffff 128M online yes 43 0x0000000168000000-0x000000016fffffff 128M online yes 45 0x0000000178000000-0x000000017fffffff 128M online yes 47 0x0000000188000000-0x0000000197ffffff 256M online yes 49-50 0x00000001a0000000-0x00000001a7ffffff 128M online yes 52 0x00000001b0000000-0x00000001b7ffffff 128M online yes 54 0x00000001c0000000-0x00000001c7ffffff 128M online yes 56 0x00000001d0000000-0x00000001d7ffffff 128M online yes 58 0x00000001e0000000-0x00000001e7ffffff 128M online yes 60 0x00000001f0000000-0x00000001f7ffffff 128M online yes 62 0x0000000200000000-0x0000000207ffffff 128M online yes 64 0x0000000210000000-0x0000000217ffffff 128M online yes 66 0x0000000220000000-0x0000000227ffffff 128M online yes 68 0x0000000230000000-0x0000000237ffffff 128M online yes 70 0x0000000240000000-0x0000000247ffffff 128M online yes 72 0x0000000250000000-0x0000000257ffffff 128M online yes 74 0x0000000260000000-0x0000000267ffffff 128M online yes 76 0x0000000270000000-0x0000000277ffffff 128M online yes 78 0x0000000280000000-0x0000000287ffffff 128M online yes 80 0x0000000290000000-0x0000000297ffffff 128M online yes 82 0x00000002a0000000-0x00000002a7ffffff 128M online yes 84 0x00000002b0000000-0x00000002b7ffffff 128M online yes 86 0x00000002c0000000-0x00000002c7ffffff 128M online yes 88 0x00000002d0000000-0x00000002d7ffffff 128M online yes 90 0x00000002e0000000-0x00000002e7ffffff 128M online yes 92 0x00000002f0000000-0x00000002f7ffffff 128M online yes 94 0x0000000300000000-0x0000000307ffffff 128M online yes 96 0x0000000310000000-0x0000000317ffffff 128M online yes 98 0x0000000320000000-0x0000000327ffffff 128M online yes 100 0x0000000330000000-0x000000033fffffff 256M online yes 102-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 8.1G Total offline memory: 0B With this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 4G Total offline memory: 0B All memory can get unplugged, all memory block can get removed. Of course, no workload ran and the system was basically idle, but it highlights the issue - the fairly deterministic chain of unmovable allocations. When a huge page for the 2MB memmap is needed, a just-onlined 4MB page will be split. The remaining 2MB page will be used for the memmap of the next memory block. So one memory block will hold the memmap of the two following memory blocks. Finally the pages of the last-onlined memory block will get used for the next bigger allocations - if any allocation is unmovable, all dependent memory blocks cannot get unplugged and removed until that allocation is gone. Note that with bigger memory blocks (e.g., 256MB), *all* memory blocks are dependent and none can get unplugged again! b) Experiment with memory intensive workload I performed an experiment with an older version of this patch set (before we used undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(): Hotplug 56GB to a VM with an initial 4GB, onlining all memory to ZONE_NORMAL right from the kernel when adding it. I then run various memory intensive workloads that consume most system memory for a total of 45 minutes. Once finished, I try to unplug as much memory as possible. With this change, I am able to remove via virtio-mem (adding individual 128MB memory blocks) 413 out of 448 added memory blocks. Via individual (256MB) DIMMs 380 out of 448 added memory blocks. (I don't have any numbers without this patchset, but looking at the above example, it's at most half of the 448 memory blocks for virtio-mem, and most probably none for DIMMs). Again, there are workloads that might behave very differently due to the nature of ZONE_NORMAL. This change also affects (besides memory onlining): - Other users of undo_isolate_page_range(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- When memory offlining fails -- When memory isolation fails after having isolated some pageblocks -- When alloc_contig_range() either succeeds or fails - Other users of __putback_isolated_page(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- Free page reporting - Other users of __free_pages_core() -- AFAIKs, any memory that is getting exposed to the buddy during boot. IIUC we will now usually allocate memory from lower addresses within a zone first (especially during boot). - Other users of generic_online_page() -- Hyper-V balloon This patch (of 5): Let's prepare for additional flags and avoid long parameter lists of bools. Follow-up patches will also make use of the flags in __free_pages_ok().

mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __putback_isolated_page() __putback_isolated_page() already documents that pages will be placed to the tail of the freelist - this is, however, not the case for "order >= MAX_ORDER - 2" (see buddy_merge_likely()) - which should be the case for all existing users. This change affects two users: - free page reporting - page isolation, when undoing the isolation (including memory onlining). This behavior is desirable for pages that haven't really been touched lately, so exactly the two users that don't actually read/write page content, but rather move untouched pages. The new behavior is especially desirable for memory onlining, where we allow allocation of newly onlined pages via undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(). Right now, we always place them to the head of the freelist, resulting in undesireable behavior: Assume we add individual memory chunks via add_memory() and online them right away to the NORMAL zone. We create a dependency chain of unmovable allocations e.g., via the memmap. The memmap of the next chunk will be placed onto previous chunks - if the last block cannot get offlined+removed, all dependent ones cannot get offlined+removed. While this can already be observed with individual DIMMs, it's more of an issue for virtio-mem (and I suspect also ppc DLPAR). Document that this should only be used for optimizations, and no code should rely on this behavior for correction (if the order of the freelists ever changes). We won't care about page shuffling: memory onlining already properly shuffles after onlining. free page reporting doesn't care about physically contiguous ranges, and there are already cases where page isolation will simply move (physically close) free pages to (currently) the head of the freelists via move_freepages_block() instead of shuffling. If this becomes ever relevant, we should shuffle the whole zone when undoing isolation of larger ranges, and after free_contig_range().

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst) local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT.

It is not a complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use get_cpu_var due to RT concerns.

numa: add generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new generic percpu variable infrastructure. Guard the new implementation with a new config option: CONFIG_USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID. Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y' when NUMA is configured. This config option could be removed if/when all archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id(). Arch support involves: 1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use this implementation. x86_64 is an instance of such an arch. 2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus are brought on-line. ia64 is an example. 3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g., when NUMA is configured. This is required because I have retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to be modified incrementally, as desired. Subsequent patches will convert x86_64 and ia64 to use this implemenation.

mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurable This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about *4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 threads, 126G memory). Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to 10000000): https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench ========================================================================= When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all tooling to work, you can do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat This is system default setting.

numa: introduce numa_mem_id()- effective local memory node id Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless nodes. Define API in <linux/topology.h> when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES defined, else stubs. Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES if/when they support them. Archs can override definitions of: numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem' cpu_to_mem() - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists().

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: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations. Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

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.

Do not depend on MAX_ORDER when grouping pages by mobility Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size. However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page size is runtime configurable. It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true, page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time kernel parameter. One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core() __free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory to the buddy during system boot and when onlining memory in generic_online_page(). generic_online_page() is used in two cases: 1. Direct memory onlining in online_pages(). 2. Deferred memory onlining in memory-ballooning-like mechanisms (HyperV balloon and virtio-mem), when parts of a section are kept fake-offline to be fake-onlined later on. In 1, we already place pages to the tail of the freelist. Pages will be freed to MIGRATE_ISOLATE lists first and moved to the tail of the freelists via undo_isolate_page_range(). In 2, we currently don't implement a proper rule. In case of virtio-mem, where we currently always online MAX_ORDER - 1 pages, the pages will be placed to the HEAD of the freelist - undesireable. While the hyper-v balloon calls generic_online_page() with single pages, usually it will call it on successive single pages in a larger block.

[PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones. As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port was originally designed we had some discussion if we should use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early 2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy. But this has always caused problems since then because device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven it can deal with many zones successfully. So this patch adds both zones. This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.). Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which was not enough memory. Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory (like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent, but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory (even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better. One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because it seems to be the most common restriction. The new zone is so far added only for x86-64. For other architectures who don't set up this new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32 as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able enough. One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA (trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite ugly and is now obsolete. These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE.

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.

[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

kasan, page_alloc: deduplicate should_skip_kasan_poison Patch series "kasan, vmalloc, arm64: add vmalloc tagging support for SW/HW_TAGS", v6. This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS KASAN modes. About half of patches are cleanups I went for along the way. None of them seem to be important enough to go through stable, so I decided not to split them out into separate patches/series. The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a Co-developed-by tag into a few patches. SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of the generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags instead of magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding a few kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code. HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on Arm MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result, HW_TAGS KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by page_alloc memory. It ignores vmap() and others. This patch (of 39): Currently, should_skip_kasan_poison() has two definitions: one for when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, one for when it's not. Instead of duplicating the checks, add a deferred_pages_enabled() helper and use it in a single should_skip_kasan_poison() definition. Also move should_skip_kasan_poison() closer to its caller and clarify all conditions in the comment.

The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a Co-developed-by tag into a few patches. SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of the generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags instead of magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding a few kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code. HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on Arm MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result, HW_TAGS KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by page_alloc memory. It ignores vmap() and others. This patch (of 39): Currently, should_skip_kasan_poison() has two definitions: one for when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, one for when it's not. Instead of duplicating the checks, add a deferred_pages_enabled() helper and use it in a single should_skip_kasan_poison() definition. Also move should_skip_kasan_poison() closer to its caller and clarify all conditions in the comment.

mm, kasan: don't poison boot memory with tag-based modes During boot, all non-reserved memblock memory is exposed to page_alloc via memblock_free_pages->__free_pages_core(). This results in kasan_free_pages() being called, which poisons that memory. Poisoning all that memory lengthens boot time. The most noticeable effect is observed with the HW_TAGS mode. A boot-time impact may potentially also affect systems with large amount of RAM. This patch changes the tag-based modes to not poison the memory during the memblock->page_alloc transition. An exception is made for KASAN_GENERIC. Since it marks all new memory as accessible, not poisoning the memory released from memblock will lead to KASAN missing invalid boot-time accesses to that memory. With KASAN_SW_TAGS, as it uses the invalid 0xFE tag as the default tag for all memory, it won't miss bad boot-time accesses even if the poisoning of memblock memory is removed. With KASAN_HW_TAGS, the default memory tags values are unspecified. Therefore, if memblock poisoning is removed, this KASAN mode will miss the mentioned type of boot-time bugs with a 1/16 probability. This is taken as an acceptable trafe-off. Internally, the poisoning is removed as follows. __free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory during system boot and when onlining memory during hotplug. This patch adds a new FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON flag and passes it to __free_pages_ok() through free_pages_prepare() from __free_pages_core(). If FPI_SKIP_KASAN_POISON is set, kasan_free_pages() is not called. All memory allocated normally when the boot is over keeps getting poisoned as usual.

mm/sparsemem: introduce struct mem_section_usage Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support", v10. The memory hotplug section is an arbitrary / convenient unit for memory hotplug. 'Section-size' units have bled into the user interface ('memblock' sysfs) and can not be changed without breaking existing userspace. The section-size constraint, while mostly benign for typical memory hotplug, has and continues to wreak havoc with 'device-memory' use cases, persistent memory (pmem) in particular. Recall that pmem uses devm_memremap_pages(), and subsequently arch_add_memory(), to allocate a 'struct page' memmap for pmem. However, it does not use the 'bottom half' of memory hotplug, i.e. never marks pmem pages online and never exposes the userspace memblock interface for pmem. This leaves an opening to redress the section-size constraint. To date, the libnvdimm subsystem has attempted to inject padding to satisfy the internal constraints of arch_add_memory(). Beyond complicating the code, leading to bugs [2], wasting memory, and limiting configuration flexibility, the padding hack is broken when the platform changes this physical memory alignment of pmem from one boot to the next. Device failure (intermittent or permanent) and physical reconfiguration are events that can cause the platform firmware to change the physical placement of pmem on a subsequent boot, and device failure is an everyday event in a data-center. It turns out that sections are only a hard requirement of the user-facing interface for memory hotplug and with a bit more infrastructure sub-section arch_add_memory() support can be added for kernel internal usages like devm_memremap_pages(). Here is an analysis of the current design assumptions in the current code and how they are addressed in the new implementation: Current design assumptions: - Sections that describe boot memory (early sections) are never unplugged / removed. - pfn_valid(), in the CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y, case devolves to a valid_section() check - __add_pages() and helper routines assume all operations occur in PAGES_PER_SECTION units. - The memblock sysfs interface only comprehends full sections New design assumptions: - Sections are instrumented with a sub-section bitmask to track (on x86) individual 2MB sub-divisions of a 128MB section. - Partially populated early sections can be extended with additional sub-sections, and those sub-sections can be removed with arch_remove_memory(). With this in place we no longer lose usable memory capacity to padding. - pfn_valid() is updated to look deeper than valid_section() to also check the active-sub-section mask. This indication is in the same cacheline as the valid_section() so the performance impact is expected to be negligible. So far the lkp robot has not reported any regressions. - Outside of the core vmemmap population routines which are replaced, other helper routines like shrink_{zone,pgdat}_span() are updated to handle the smaller granularity. Core memory hotplug routines that deal with online memory are not touched. - The existing memblock sysfs user api guarantees / assumptions are not touched since this capability is limited to !online !memblock-sysfs-accessible sections. Meanwhile the issue reports continue to roll in from users that do not understand when and how the 128MB constraint will bite them. The current implementation relied on being able to support at least one misaligned namespace, but that immediately falls over on any moderately complex namespace creation attempt. Beyond the initial problem of 'System RAM' colliding with pmem, and the unsolvable problem of physical alignment changes, Linux is now being exposed to platforms that collide pmem ranges with other pmem ranges by default [3]. In short, devm_memremap_pages() has pushed the venerable section-size constraint past the breaking point, and the simplicity of section-aligned arch_add_memory() is no longer tenable. These patches are exposed to the kbuild robot on a subsection-v10 branch [4], and a preview of the unit test for this functionality is available on the 'subsection-pending' branch of ndctl [5]. [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/r/155000671719.348031.2347363160141119237.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com [3]: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/issues/76 [4]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/log/?h=subsection-v10 [5]: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/commit/7c59b4867e1c This patch (of 13): Towards enabling memory hotplug to track partial population of a section, introduce 'struct mem_section_usage'. A pointer to a 'struct mem_section_usage' instance replaces the existing pointer to a 'pageblock_flags' bitmap. Effectively it adds one more 'unsigned long' beyond the 'pageblock_flags' (usemap) allocation to house a new 'subsection_map' bitmap. The new bitmap enables the memory hot{plug,remove} implementation to act on incremental sub-divisions of a section. SUBSECTION_SHIFT is defined as global constant instead of per-architecture value like SECTION_SIZE_BITS in order to allow cross-arch compatibility of subsection users. Specifically a common subsection size allows for the possibility that persistent memory namespace configurations be made compatible across architectures. The primary motivation for this functionality is to support platforms that mix "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" within a single section, or multiple PMEM ranges with different mapping lifetimes within a single section. The section restriction for hotplug has caused an ongoing saga of hacks and bugs for devm_memremap_pages() users. Beyond the fixups to teach existing paths how to retrieve the 'usemap' from a section, and updates to usemap allocation path, there are no expected behavior changes.

mm: fix is_pinnable_page against a cma page Pages in the CMA area could have MIGRATE_ISOLATE as well as MIGRATE_CMA so the current is_pinnable_page() could miss CMA pages which have MIGRATE_ISOLATE.

After 30 sec unpin_user_page(page) CMA allocation succeeded after 30 sec. The CMA allocation path protects the migration type change race using zone->lock but what GUP path need to know is just whether the page is on CMA area or not rather than exact migration type. Thus, we don't need zone->lock but just checks migration type in either of (MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA). Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause rejecting of pinning pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks even though it's neither CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily unmovable. However, such a migration failure by unexpected temporal refcount holding is general issue, not only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also transient state like other temporal elevated refcount problem.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations.

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().

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().

* The first tail page's ->compound_order holds the order of allocation.
[PATCH] compound page: use page[1].lru If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound page. But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g. Infiniband's __ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space. And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse. For example, not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap. Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead. And to free up the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from index to lru.prev. Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this. (akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]() caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).

mm/page_alloc: split prep_compound_page into head and tail subparts Patch series "mm, device-dax: Introduce compound pages in devmap", v7. This series converts device-dax to use compound pages, and moves away from the 'struct page per basepage on PMD/PUD' that is done today. Doing so 1) unlocks a few noticeable improvements on unpin_user_pages() and makes device-dax+altmap case 4x times faster in pinning (numbers below and in last patch) 2) as mentioned in various other threads it's one important step towards cleaning up ZONE_DEVICE refcounting. I've split the compound pages on devmap part from the rest based on recent discussions on devmap pending and future work planned[5][6]. There is consensus that device-dax should be using compound pages to represent its PMD/PUDs just like HugeTLB and THP, and that leads to less specialization of the dax parts. I will pursue the rest of the work in parallel once this part is merged, particular the GUP-{slow,fast} improvements [7] and the tail struct page deduplication memory savings part[8]. To summarize what the series does: Patch 1: Prepare hwpoisoning to work with dax compound pages. Patches 2-3: Split the current utility function of prep_compound_page() into head and tail and use those two helpers where appropriate to take advantage of caches being warm after __init_single_page(). This is used when initializing zone device when we bring up device-dax namespaces. Patches 4-10: Add devmap support for compound pages in device-dax. memmap_init_zone_device() initialize its metadata as compound pages, and it introduces a new devmap property known as vmemmap_shift which outlines how the vmemmap is structured (defaults to base pages as done today). The property describe the page order of the metadata essentially. While at it do a few cleanups in device-dax in patches 5-9. Finally enable device-dax usage of devmap @vmemmap_shift to a value based on its own @align property. @vmemmap_shift returns 0 by default (which is today's case of base pages in devmap, like fsdax or the others) and the usage of compound devmap is optional. Starting with device-dax (*not* fsdax) we enable it by default. There are a few pinning improvements particular on the unpinning case and altmap, as well as unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() being just as effective as THP/hugetlb[0] pages. $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 16384 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~71 ms -> put:~22 ms [altmap] (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~524ms put:~525 ms -> get: ~127ms put:~71ms $ gup_test -f /dev/dax1.0 -m 129022 -r 10 -S -a -n 512 -w (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) put:~513 ms -> put:~188 ms [altmap with -m 127004] (pin_user_pages_fast 2M pages) get:~4.1 secs put:~4.12 secs -> get:~1sec put:~563ms Tested on x86 with 1Tb+ of pmem (alongside registering it with RDMA with and without altmap), alongside gup_test selftests with dynamic dax regions and static dax regions.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists.

mm/page_alloc: move pages to tail in move_to_free_list() Whenever we move pages between freelists via move_to_free_list()/ move_freepages_block(), we don't actually touch the pages: 1. Page isolation doesn't actually touch the pages, it simply isolates pageblocks and moves all free pages to the MIGRATE_ISOLATE freelist. When undoing isolation, we move the pages back to the target list. 2. Page stealing (steal_suitable_fallback()) moves free pages directly between lists without touching them. 3. reserve_highatomic_pageblock()/unreserve_highatomic_pageblock() moves free pages directly between freelists without touching them. We already place pages to the tail of the freelists when undoing isolation via __putback_isolated_page(), let's do it in any case (e.g., if order <= pageblock_order) and document the behavior. To simplify, let's move the pages to the tail for all move_to_free_list()/move_freepages_block() users. In 2., the target list is empty, so there should be no change. In 3., we might observe a change, however, highatomic is more concerned about allocations succeeding than cache hotness - if we ever realize this change degrades a workload, we can special-case this instance and add a proper comment. This change results in all pages getting onlined via online_pages() to be placed to the tail of the freelist.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm: introduce Reported pages In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page type. To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being cleared. The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1 pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the scatterlist. When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the free list becomes the first entry in the list. It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing the list. The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up again in roughly 2s and exit.

mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

mm: adjust shuffle code to allow for future coalescing Patch series "mm / virtio: Provide support for free page reporting", v17. This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages to a hypervisor so that the memory associated with those pages can be dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host. When enabled we will be performing a scan of free memory every 2 seconds while pages of sufficiently high order are being freed. In each pass at least one sixteenth of each free list will be reported. By doing this we avoid racing against other threads that may be causing a high amount of memory churn. The lowest page order currently scanned when reporting pages is pageblock_order so that this feature will not interfere with the use of Transparent Huge Pages in the case of virtualization. Currently this is only in use by virtio-balloon however there is the hope that at some point in the future other hypervisors might be able to make use of it. In the virtio-balloon/QEMU implementation the hypervisor is currently using MADV_DONTNEED to indicate to the host kernel that the page is currently free. It will be zeroed and faulted back into the guest the next time the page is accessed. To track if a page is reported or not the Uptodate flag was repurposed and used as a Reported flag for Buddy pages. We walk though the free list isolating pages and adding them to the scatterlist until we either encounter the end of the list or have processed at least one sixteenth of the pages that were listed in nr_free prior to us starting. If we fill the scatterlist before we reach the end of the list we rotate the list so that the first unreported page we encounter is moved to the head of the list as that is where we will resume after we have freed the reported pages back into the tail of the list. Below are the results from various benchmarks. I primarily focused on two tests. The first is the will-it-scale/page_fault2 test, and the other is a modified version of will-it-scale/page_fault1 that was enabled to use THP. I did this as it allows for better visibility into different parts of the memory subsystem. The guest is running with 32G for RAM on one node of a E5-2630 v3.

These results include the deviation seen between the average value reported here versus the high and/or low value. I observed that during the test memory usage for the first three tests never dropped whereas with the patches fully enabled the VM would drop to using only a few GB of the host's memory when switching from memhog to page fault tests. Any of the overhead visible with this patch set enabled seems due to page faults caused by accessing the reported pages and the host zeroing the page before giving it back to the guest. This overhead is much more visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled. The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the test is running.

This overhead is much more visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled. The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the test is running.

By doing this we should be able to reduce the overhead and can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.

mm: adjust shuffle code to allow for future coalescing Patch series "mm / virtio: Provide support for free page reporting", v17. This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages to a hypervisor so that the memory associated with those pages can be dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host. When enabled we will be performing a scan of free memory every 2 seconds while pages of sufficiently high order are being freed. In each pass at least one sixteenth of each free list will be reported. By doing this we avoid racing against other threads that may be causing a high amount of memory churn. The lowest page order currently scanned when reporting pages is pageblock_order so that this feature will not interfere with the use of Transparent Huge Pages in the case of virtualization. Currently this is only in use by virtio-balloon however there is the hope that at some point in the future other hypervisors might be able to make use of it. In the virtio-balloon/QEMU implementation the hypervisor is currently using MADV_DONTNEED to indicate to the host kernel that the page is currently free. It will be zeroed and faulted back into the guest the next time the page is accessed. To track if a page is reported or not the Uptodate flag was repurposed and used as a Reported flag for Buddy pages. We walk though the free list isolating pages and adding them to the scatterlist until we either encounter the end of the list or have processed at least one sixteenth of the pages that were listed in nr_free prior to us starting. If we fill the scatterlist before we reach the end of the list we rotate the list so that the first unreported page we encounter is moved to the head of the list as that is where we will resume after we have freed the reported pages back into the tail of the list. Below are the results from various benchmarks. I primarily focused on two tests. The first is the will-it-scale/page_fault2 test, and the other is a modified version of will-it-scale/page_fault1 that was enabled to use THP.

/*
* Freeing function for a buddy system allocator.
*
* The concept of a buddy system is to maintain direct-mapped table
* (containing bit values) for memory blocks of various "orders".
* The bottom level table contains the map for the smallest allocatable
* units of memory (here, pages), and each level above it describes
* pairs of units from the levels below, hence, "buddies".
* At a high level, all that happens here is marking the table entry
* at the bottom level available, and propagating the changes upward
* as necessary, plus some accounting needed to play nicely with other
* parts of the VM system.
* At each level, we keep a list of pages, which are heads of continuous
* free pages of length of (1 << order) and marked with PageBuddy.
* Page's order is recorded in page_private(page) field.
* So when we are allocating or freeing one, we can derive the state of the
* other. That is, if we allocate a small block, and both were
* free, the remainder of the region must be split into blocks.
* If a block is freed, and its buddy is also free, then this
* triggers coalescing into a block of larger size.

mm/page_alloc: convert "report" flag of __free_one_page() to a proper flag Patch series "mm: place pages to the freelist tail when onlining and undoing isolation", v2. When adding separate memory blocks via add_memory*() and onlining them immediately, the metadata (especially the memmap) of the next block will be placed onto one of the just added+onlined block. This creates a chain of unmovable allocations: If the last memory block cannot get offlined+removed() so will all dependent ones. We directly have unmovable allocations all over the place. This can be observed quite easily using virtio-mem, however, it can also be observed when using DIMMs. The freshly onlined pages will usually be placed to the head of the freelists, meaning they will be allocated next, turning the just-added memory usually immediately un-removable. The fresh pages are cold, prefering to allocate others (that might be hot) also feels to be the natural thing to do. It also applies to the hyper-v balloon xen-balloon, and ppc64 dlpar: when adding separate, successive memory blocks, each memory block will have unmovable allocations on them - for example gigantic pages will fail to allocate. While the ZONE_NORMAL doesn't provide any guarantees that memory can get offlined+removed again (any kind of fragmentation with unmovable allocations is possible), there are many scenarios (hotplugging a lot of memory, running workload, hotunplug some memory/as much as possible) where we can offline+remove quite a lot with this patchset. a) To visualize the problem, a very simple example: Start a VM with 4GB and 8GB of virtio-mem memory: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000033fffffff 9G online yes 32-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 12G Total offline memory: 0B Then try to unplug as much as possible using virtio-mem. Observe which memory blocks are still around. Without this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 0x0000000148000000-0x000000014fffffff 128M online yes 41 0x0000000158000000-0x000000015fffffff 128M online yes 43 0x0000000168000000-0x000000016fffffff 128M online yes 45 0x0000000178000000-0x000000017fffffff 128M online yes 47 0x0000000188000000-0x0000000197ffffff 256M online yes 49-50 0x00000001a0000000-0x00000001a7ffffff 128M online yes 52 0x00000001b0000000-0x00000001b7ffffff 128M online yes 54 0x00000001c0000000-0x00000001c7ffffff 128M online yes 56 0x00000001d0000000-0x00000001d7ffffff 128M online yes 58 0x00000001e0000000-0x00000001e7ffffff 128M online yes 60 0x00000001f0000000-0x00000001f7ffffff 128M online yes 62 0x0000000200000000-0x0000000207ffffff 128M online yes 64 0x0000000210000000-0x0000000217ffffff 128M online yes 66 0x0000000220000000-0x0000000227ffffff 128M online yes 68 0x0000000230000000-0x0000000237ffffff 128M online yes 70 0x0000000240000000-0x0000000247ffffff 128M online yes 72 0x0000000250000000-0x0000000257ffffff 128M online yes 74 0x0000000260000000-0x0000000267ffffff 128M online yes 76 0x0000000270000000-0x0000000277ffffff 128M online yes 78 0x0000000280000000-0x0000000287ffffff 128M online yes 80 0x0000000290000000-0x0000000297ffffff 128M online yes 82 0x00000002a0000000-0x00000002a7ffffff 128M online yes 84 0x00000002b0000000-0x00000002b7ffffff 128M online yes 86 0x00000002c0000000-0x00000002c7ffffff 128M online yes 88 0x00000002d0000000-0x00000002d7ffffff 128M online yes 90 0x00000002e0000000-0x00000002e7ffffff 128M online yes 92 0x00000002f0000000-0x00000002f7ffffff 128M online yes 94 0x0000000300000000-0x0000000307ffffff 128M online yes 96 0x0000000310000000-0x0000000317ffffff 128M online yes 98 0x0000000320000000-0x0000000327ffffff 128M online yes 100 0x0000000330000000-0x000000033fffffff 256M online yes 102-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 8.1G Total offline memory: 0B With this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 4G Total offline memory: 0B All memory can get unplugged, all memory block can get removed. Of course, no workload ran and the system was basically idle, but it highlights the issue - the fairly deterministic chain of unmovable allocations. When a huge page for the 2MB memmap is needed, a just-onlined 4MB page will be split. The remaining 2MB page will be used for the memmap of the next memory block. So one memory block will hold the memmap of the two following memory blocks. Finally the pages of the last-onlined memory block will get used for the next bigger allocations - if any allocation is unmovable, all dependent memory blocks cannot get unplugged and removed until that allocation is gone. Note that with bigger memory blocks (e.g., 256MB), *all* memory blocks are dependent and none can get unplugged again! b) Experiment with memory intensive workload I performed an experiment with an older version of this patch set (before we used undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(): Hotplug 56GB to a VM with an initial 4GB, onlining all memory to ZONE_NORMAL right from the kernel when adding it. I then run various memory intensive workloads that consume most system memory for a total of 45 minutes. Once finished, I try to unplug as much memory as possible. With this change, I am able to remove via virtio-mem (adding individual 128MB memory blocks) 413 out of 448 added memory blocks. Via individual (256MB) DIMMs 380 out of 448 added memory blocks. (I don't have any numbers without this patchset, but looking at the above example, it's at most half of the 448 memory blocks for virtio-mem, and most probably none for DIMMs). Again, there are workloads that might behave very differently due to the nature of ZONE_NORMAL. This change also affects (besides memory onlining): - Other users of undo_isolate_page_range(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- When memory offlining fails -- When memory isolation fails after having isolated some pageblocks -- When alloc_contig_range() either succeeds or fails - Other users of __putback_isolated_page(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- Free page reporting - Other users of __free_pages_core() -- AFAIKs, any memory that is getting exposed to the buddy during boot. IIUC we will now usually allocate memory from lower addresses within a zone first (especially during boot). - Other users of generic_online_page() -- Hyper-V balloon This patch (of 5): Let's prepare for additional flags and avoid long parameter lists of bools. Follow-up patches will also make use of the flags in __free_pages_ok().

mm: adjust shuffle code to allow for future coalescing Patch series "mm / virtio: Provide support for free page reporting", v17. This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages to a hypervisor so that the memory associated with those pages can be dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host. When enabled we will be performing a scan of free memory every 2 seconds while pages of sufficiently high order are being freed. In each pass at least one sixteenth of each free list will be reported. By doing this we avoid racing against other threads that may be causing a high amount of memory churn. The lowest page order currently scanned when reporting pages is pageblock_order so that this feature will not interfere with the use of Transparent Huge Pages in the case of virtualization. Currently this is only in use by virtio-balloon however there is the hope that at some point in the future other hypervisors might be able to make use of it. In the virtio-balloon/QEMU implementation the hypervisor is currently using MADV_DONTNEED to indicate to the host kernel that the page is currently free. It will be zeroed and faulted back into the guest the next time the page is accessed. To track if a page is reported or not the Uptodate flag was repurposed and used as a Reported flag for Buddy pages. We walk though the free list isolating pages and adding them to the scatterlist until we either encounter the end of the list or have processed at least one sixteenth of the pages that were listed in nr_free prior to us starting. If we fill the scatterlist before we reach the end of the list we rotate the list so that the first unreported page we encounter is moved to the head of the list as that is where we will resume after we have freed the reported pages back into the tail of the list. Below are the results from various benchmarks. I primarily focused on two tests. The first is the will-it-scale/page_fault2 test, and the other is a modified version of will-it-scale/page_fault1 that was enabled to use THP. I did this as it allows for better visibility into different parts of the memory subsystem. The guest is running with 32G for RAM on one node of a E5-2630 v3. The host has had some features such as CPU turbo disabled in the BIOS.

These results include the deviation seen between the average value reported here versus the high and/or low value. I observed that during the test memory usage for the first three tests never dropped whereas with the patches fully enabled the VM would drop to using only a few GB of the host's memory when switching from memhog to page fault tests. Any of the overhead visible with this patch set enabled seems due to page faults caused by accessing the reported pages and the host zeroing the page before giving it back to the guest. This overhead is much more visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled. The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the test is running. If the host memory were oversubscribed this patch set should result in a performance improvement as swapping memory in the host can be avoided. A brief history on the background of free page reporting can be found at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/29f43d5796feed0dec8e8bb98b187d9dac03b900.camel@linux.intel.com/ This patch (of 9): Move the head/tail adding logic out of the shuffle code and into the __free_one_page function since ultimately that is where it is really needed anyway. By doing this we should be able to reduce the overhead and can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.

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.

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 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock"). However, we only check the migratetype of the pageblock where buddy merging has been initiated, not the migratetype of the buddy pageblock (or group of pageblocks) which can be MIGRATE_ISOLATE. Joonsoo has suggested checking for buddy migratetype as part of page_is_buddy(), but that would add extra checks in allocator hotpath and bloat-o-meter has shown significant code bloat (the function is inline). This patch reduces the bloat at some expense of more complicated code. The buddy-merging while-loop in __free_one_page() is initially bounded to pageblock_border and without any migratetype checks. The checks are placed outside, bumping the max_order if merging is allowed, and returning to the while-loop with a statement which can't be possibly considered harmful. This fixes the accounting bug and also removes the arguably weird state in the original commit 3c605096d315 where buddies could be left unmerged.

mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The intent is to avoid redundant scanning. 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 selective-v3r17 capture-v3r19 Amean fault-both-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 * 0.00%* Amean fault-both-3 2582.11 ( 0.00%) 2563.68 ( 0.71%) Amean fault-both-5 4500.26 ( 0.00%) 4233.52 ( 5.93%) Amean fault-both-7 5819.53 ( 0.00%) 6333.65 ( -8.83%) Amean fault-both-12 9321.18 ( 0.00%) 9759.38 ( -4.70%) Amean fault-both-18 9782.76 ( 0.00%) 10338.76 ( -5.68%) Amean fault-both-24 15272.81 ( 0.00%) 13379.55 * 12.40%* Amean fault-both-30 15121.34 ( 0.00%) 16158.25 ( -6.86%) Amean fault-both-32 18466.67 ( 0.00%) 18971.21 ( -2.73%) Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details. A closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.

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.

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 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock"). However, we only check the migratetype of the pageblock where buddy merging has been initiated, not the migratetype of the buddy pageblock (or group of pageblocks) which can be MIGRATE_ISOLATE. Joonsoo has suggested checking for buddy migratetype as part of page_is_buddy(), but that would add extra checks in allocator hotpath and bloat-o-meter has shown significant code bloat (the function is inline). This patch reduces the bloat at some expense of more complicated code. The buddy-merging while-loop in __free_one_page() is initially bounded to pageblock_border and without any migratetype checks. The checks are placed outside, bumping the max_order if merging is allowed, and returning to the while-loop with a statement which can't be possibly considered harmful. This fixes the accounting bug and also removes the arguably weird state in the original commit 3c605096d315 where buddies could be left unmerged.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

page allocator: reduce fragmentation in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the free lists In order to reduce fragmentation, this patch classifies freed pages in two groups according to their probability of being part of a high order merge. Pages belonging to a compound whose next-highest buddy is free are more likely to be part of a high order merge in the near future, so they will be added at the tail of the freelist. The remaining pages are put at the front of the freelist. In this way, the pages that are more likely to cause a big merge are kept free longer. Consequently there is a tendency to aggregate the long-living allocations on a subset of the compounds, reducing the fragmentation. This heuristic was tested on three machines, x86, x86-64 and ppc64 with 3GB of RAM in each machine. The tests were kernbench, netperf, sysbench and STREAM for performance and a high-order stress test for huge page allocations.

Many of the results, whether gains or losses were within the standard deviation so no solid conclusion can be reached on performance impact. Looking at the figures, only the X86-64 ones look suspicious with a few losses that were outside the noise. However, the results were so unstable that without knowing why they vary so much, a solid conclusion cannot be reached.

While there are a few losses, the results vary by +/- 8% in some cases. They are the results of most concern as there are some large losses but it's also within the variance typically seen between kernel releases. The STREAM results varied so little and are so verbose that I didn't include them here. The final test stressed how many huge pages can be allocated. The absolute number of huge pages allocated are the same with or without the page. However, the "unusability free space index" which is a measure of external fragmentation was slightly lower (lower is better) throughout the lifetime of the system. I also measured the latency of how long it took to successfully allocate a huge page. The latency was slightly lower and on X86 and PPC64, more huge pages were allocated almost immediately from the free lists. The improvement is slight but there.

mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __putback_isolated_page() __putback_isolated_page() already documents that pages will be placed to the tail of the freelist - this is, however, not the case for "order >= MAX_ORDER - 2" (see buddy_merge_likely()) - which should be the case for all existing users. This change affects two users: - free page reporting - page isolation, when undoing the isolation (including memory onlining). This behavior is desirable for pages that haven't really been touched lately, so exactly the two users that don't actually read/write page content, but rather move untouched pages. The new behavior is especially desirable for memory onlining, where we allow allocation of newly onlined pages via undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(). Right now, we always place them to the head of the freelist, resulting in undesireable behavior: Assume we add individual memory chunks via add_memory() and online them right away to the NORMAL zone. We create a dependency chain of unmovable allocations e.g., via the memmap. The memmap of the next chunk will be placed onto previous chunks - if the last block cannot get offlined+removed, all dependent ones cannot get offlined+removed. While this can already be observed with individual DIMMs, it's more of an issue for virtio-mem (and I suspect also ppc DLPAR). Document that this should only be used for optimizations, and no code should rely on this behavior for correction (if the order of the freelists ever changes). We won't care about page shuffling: memory onlining already properly shuffles after onlining. free page reporting doesn't care about physically contiguous ranges, and there are already cases where page isolation will simply move (physically close) free pages to (currently) the head of the freelists via move_freepages_block() instead of shuffling. If this becomes ever relevant, we should shuffle the whole zone when undoing isolation of larger ranges, and after free_contig_range().

mm: adjust shuffle code to allow for future coalescing Patch series "mm / virtio: Provide support for free page reporting", v17. This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages to a hypervisor so that the memory associated with those pages can be dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host. When enabled we will be performing a scan of free memory every 2 seconds while pages of sufficiently high order are being freed. In each pass at least one sixteenth of each free list will be reported. By doing this we avoid racing against other threads that may be causing a high amount of memory churn. The lowest page order currently scanned when reporting pages is pageblock_order so that this feature will not interfere with the use of Transparent Huge Pages in the case of virtualization. Currently this is only in use by virtio-balloon however there is the hope that at some point in the future other hypervisors might be able to make use of it. In the virtio-balloon/QEMU implementation the hypervisor is currently using MADV_DONTNEED to indicate to the host kernel that the page is currently free. It will be zeroed and faulted back into the guest the next time the page is accessed. To track if a page is reported or not the Uptodate flag was repurposed and used as a Reported flag for Buddy pages. We walk though the free list isolating pages and adding them to the scatterlist until we either encounter the end of the list or have processed at least one sixteenth of the pages that were listed in nr_free prior to us starting. If we fill the scatterlist before we reach the end of the list we rotate the list so that the first unreported page we encounter is moved to the head of the list as that is where we will resume after we have freed the reported pages back into the tail of the list. Below are the results from various benchmarks. I primarily focused on two tests. The first is the will-it-scale/page_fault2 test, and the other is a modified version of will-it-scale/page_fault1 that was enabled to use THP. I did this as it allows for better visibility into different parts of the memory subsystem. The guest is running with 32G for RAM on one node of a E5-2630 v3. The host has had some features such as CPU turbo disabled in the BIOS.

These results include the deviation seen between the average value reported here versus the high and/or low value. I observed that during the test memory usage for the first three tests never dropped whereas with the patches fully enabled the VM would drop to using only a few GB of the host's memory when switching from memhog to page fault tests. Any of the overhead visible with this patch set enabled seems due to page faults caused by accessing the reported pages and the host zeroing the page before giving it back to the guest. This overhead is much more visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled. The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the test is running. If the host memory were oversubscribed this patch set should result in a performance improvement as swapping memory in the host can be avoided.

By doing this we should be able to reduce the overhead and can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.

As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

These results include the deviation seen between the average value reported here versus the high and/or low value. I observed that during the test memory usage for the first three tests never dropped whereas with the patches fully enabled the VM would drop to using only a few GB of the host's memory when switching from memhog to page fault tests. Any of the overhead visible with this patch set enabled seems due to page faults caused by accessing the reported pages and the host zeroing the page before giving it back to the guest. This overhead is much more visible when using THP than with standard 4K pages. In addition page shuffling seemed to increase the amount of faults generated due to an increase in memory churn. The overehad is reduced when using MADV_FREE as we can avoid the extra zeroing of the pages when they are reintroduced to the host, as can be seen when the RFC is applied with shuffling enabled. The overall guest size is kept fairly small to only a few GB while the test is running. If the host memory were oversubscribed this patch set should result in a performance improvement as swapping memory in the host can be avoided. A brief history on the background of free page reporting can be found at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/29f43d5796feed0dec8e8bb98b187d9dac03b900.camel@linux.intel.com/ This patch (of 9): Move the head/tail adding logic out of the shuffle code and into the __free_one_page function since ultimately that is where it is really needed anyway. By doing this we should be able to reduce the overhead and can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm: introduce Reported pages In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page type. To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being cleared. The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1 pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the scatterlist. When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the free list becomes the first entry in the list. It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing the list. The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up again in roughly 2s and exit.

/* Notify page reporting subsystem of freed page */
mm/page_alloc: convert "report" flag of __free_one_page() to a proper flag Patch series "mm: place pages to the freelist tail when onlining and undoing isolation", v2. When adding separate memory blocks via add_memory*() and onlining them immediately, the metadata (especially the memmap) of the next block will be placed onto one of the just added+onlined block. This creates a chain of unmovable allocations: If the last memory block cannot get offlined+removed() so will all dependent ones. We directly have unmovable allocations all over the place. This can be observed quite easily using virtio-mem, however, it can also be observed when using DIMMs. The freshly onlined pages will usually be placed to the head of the freelists, meaning they will be allocated next, turning the just-added memory usually immediately un-removable. The fresh pages are cold, prefering to allocate others (that might be hot) also feels to be the natural thing to do. It also applies to the hyper-v balloon xen-balloon, and ppc64 dlpar: when adding separate, successive memory blocks, each memory block will have unmovable allocations on them - for example gigantic pages will fail to allocate. While the ZONE_NORMAL doesn't provide any guarantees that memory can get offlined+removed again (any kind of fragmentation with unmovable allocations is possible), there are many scenarios (hotplugging a lot of memory, running workload, hotunplug some memory/as much as possible) where we can offline+remove quite a lot with this patchset. a) To visualize the problem, a very simple example: Start a VM with 4GB and 8GB of virtio-mem memory: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000033fffffff 9G online yes 32-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 12G Total offline memory: 0B Then try to unplug as much as possible using virtio-mem. Observe which memory blocks are still around. Without this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 0x0000000148000000-0x000000014fffffff 128M online yes 41 0x0000000158000000-0x000000015fffffff 128M online yes 43 0x0000000168000000-0x000000016fffffff 128M online yes 45 0x0000000178000000-0x000000017fffffff 128M online yes 47 0x0000000188000000-0x0000000197ffffff 256M online yes 49-50 0x00000001a0000000-0x00000001a7ffffff 128M online yes 52 0x00000001b0000000-0x00000001b7ffffff 128M online yes 54 0x00000001c0000000-0x00000001c7ffffff 128M online yes 56 0x00000001d0000000-0x00000001d7ffffff 128M online yes 58 0x00000001e0000000-0x00000001e7ffffff 128M online yes 60 0x00000001f0000000-0x00000001f7ffffff 128M online yes 62 0x0000000200000000-0x0000000207ffffff 128M online yes 64 0x0000000210000000-0x0000000217ffffff 128M online yes 66 0x0000000220000000-0x0000000227ffffff 128M online yes 68 0x0000000230000000-0x0000000237ffffff 128M online yes 70 0x0000000240000000-0x0000000247ffffff 128M online yes 72 0x0000000250000000-0x0000000257ffffff 128M online yes 74 0x0000000260000000-0x0000000267ffffff 128M online yes 76 0x0000000270000000-0x0000000277ffffff 128M online yes 78 0x0000000280000000-0x0000000287ffffff 128M online yes 80 0x0000000290000000-0x0000000297ffffff 128M online yes 82 0x00000002a0000000-0x00000002a7ffffff 128M online yes 84 0x00000002b0000000-0x00000002b7ffffff 128M online yes 86 0x00000002c0000000-0x00000002c7ffffff 128M online yes 88 0x00000002d0000000-0x00000002d7ffffff 128M online yes 90 0x00000002e0000000-0x00000002e7ffffff 128M online yes 92 0x00000002f0000000-0x00000002f7ffffff 128M online yes 94 0x0000000300000000-0x0000000307ffffff 128M online yes 96 0x0000000310000000-0x0000000317ffffff 128M online yes 98 0x0000000320000000-0x0000000327ffffff 128M online yes 100 0x0000000330000000-0x000000033fffffff 256M online yes 102-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 8.1G Total offline memory: 0B With this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 4G Total offline memory: 0B All memory can get unplugged, all memory block can get removed. Of course, no workload ran and the system was basically idle, but it highlights the issue - the fairly deterministic chain of unmovable allocations. When a huge page for the 2MB memmap is needed, a just-onlined 4MB page will be split. The remaining 2MB page will be used for the memmap of the next memory block. So one memory block will hold the memmap of the two following memory blocks. Finally the pages of the last-onlined memory block will get used for the next bigger allocations - if any allocation is unmovable, all dependent memory blocks cannot get unplugged and removed until that allocation is gone. Note that with bigger memory blocks (e.g., 256MB), *all* memory blocks are dependent and none can get unplugged again! b) Experiment with memory intensive workload I performed an experiment with an older version of this patch set (before we used undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(): Hotplug 56GB to a VM with an initial 4GB, onlining all memory to ZONE_NORMAL right from the kernel when adding it. I then run various memory intensive workloads that consume most system memory for a total of 45 minutes. Once finished, I try to unplug as much memory as possible. With this change, I am able to remove via virtio-mem (adding individual 128MB memory blocks) 413 out of 448 added memory blocks. Via individual (256MB) DIMMs 380 out of 448 added memory blocks. (I don't have any numbers without this patchset, but looking at the above example, it's at most half of the 448 memory blocks for virtio-mem, and most probably none for DIMMs). Again, there are workloads that might behave very differently due to the nature of ZONE_NORMAL. This change also affects (besides memory onlining): - Other users of undo_isolate_page_range(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- When memory offlining fails -- When memory isolation fails after having isolated some pageblocks -- When alloc_contig_range() either succeeds or fails - Other users of __putback_isolated_page(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- Free page reporting - Other users of __free_pages_core() -- AFAIKs, any memory that is getting exposed to the buddy during boot. IIUC we will now usually allocate memory from lower addresses within a zone first (especially during boot). - Other users of generic_online_page() -- Hyper-V balloon This patch (of 5): Let's prepare for additional flags and avoid long parameter lists of bools. Follow-up patches will also make use of the flags in __free_pages_ok().

This is reported by Qian Cai. 1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to isolate pageblock properly. 2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page is not crossing pageblock boundary. 3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the free page later has a small race window that the free page might be allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is found after page migration. An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in __free_one_page(). When the free page is split at the specified split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller one. For example, if free_page_pfn=0x10000, split_pfn_offset=0xc000, free_page_order should first be 0x8000 then 0x4000, instead of 0x4000 then 0x8000, which the original algorithm did.

mm: fix a potential infinite loop in start_isolate_page_range() In isolate_single_pageblock() called by start_isolate_page_range(), there are some pageblock isolation issues causing a potential infinite loop when isolating a page range. This is reported by Qian Cai. 1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to isolate pageblock properly. 2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page is not crossing pageblock boundary. 3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the free page later has a small race window that the free page might be allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is found after page migration. An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in __free_one_page(). When the free page is split at the specified split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller one.

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,thp,rmap: simplify compound page mapcount handling Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag. And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines. Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't need to be optimized differently. Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap. page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case). But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained? Not quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount 0<->1 while compound pmd mapcount 0<->1 is scanning - races which the previous implementation had prevented. The statistics might become inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0. That is not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch. Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields. hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount. A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took 18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.

kasan, page_alloc: deduplicate should_skip_kasan_poison Patch series "kasan, vmalloc, arm64: add vmalloc tagging support for SW/HW_TAGS", v6. This patchset adds vmalloc tagging support for SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS KASAN modes. About half of patches are cleanups I went for along the way. None of them seem to be important enough to go through stable, so I decided not to split them out into separate patches/series. The patchset is partially based on an early version of the HW_TAGS patchset by Vincenzo that had vmalloc support. Thus, I added a Co-developed-by tag into a few patches. SW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support is straightforward. It reuses all of the generic KASAN machinery, but uses shadow memory to store tags instead of magic values. Naturally, vmalloc tagging requires adding a few kasan_reset_tag() annotations to the vmalloc code. HW_TAGS vmalloc tagging support stands out. HW_TAGS KASAN is based on Arm MTE, which can only assigns tags to physical memory. As a result, HW_TAGS KASAN only tags vmalloc() allocations, which are backed by page_alloc memory. It ignores vmap() and others. This patch (of 39): Currently, should_skip_kasan_poison() has two definitions: one for when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, one for when it's not. Instead of duplicating the checks, add a deferred_pages_enabled() helper and use it in a single should_skip_kasan_poison() definition. Also move should_skip_kasan_poison() closer to its caller and clarify all conditions in the comment.

/*
* Skip KASAN memory poisoning when either:
*
* 1. For generic KASAN: deferred memory initialization has not yet completed.
* Tag-based KASAN modes skip pages freed via deferred memory initialization
* using page tags instead (see below).
* 2. For tag-based KASAN modes: the page has a match-all KASAN tag, indicating
* that error detection is disabled for accesses via the page address.
*
* Pages will have match-all tags in the following circumstances:
*
* 1. Pages are being initialized for the first time, including during deferred
* memory init; see the call to page_kasan_tag_reset in __init_single_page.
* 2. The allocation was not unpoisoned due to __GFP_SKIP_KASAN, with the
* exception of pages unpoisoned by kasan_unpoison_vmalloc.
* 3. The allocation was excluded from being checked due to sampling,
kasan: allow sampling page_alloc allocations for HW_TAGS As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big, tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant slowdown. Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown: - kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second added parameter (default: tag every such allocation). - kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below). The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters depends on their values and the applied workload. The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is done for two reasons: 1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled. 2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown. Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better. Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value of KASAN as a security mitigation. However, based on measuring the number of page_alloc allocations of different orders during boot in a test build, sampling with the default kasan.page_alloc.sample.order value affects only ~7% of allocations. The rest ~93% of allocations are still checked deterministically.

*
* Assuming that there will be no reference to those newly initialized

mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations.

The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

Revert "kasan: drop skip_kasan_poison variable in free_pages_prepare" This reverts commit 487a32ec24be819e747af8c2ab0d5c515508086a. should_skip_kasan_poison() reads the PG_skip_kasan_poison flag from page->flags. However, this line of code in free_pages_prepare(): page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP; clears most of page->flags, including PG_skip_kasan_poison, before calling should_skip_kasan_poison(), which meant that it would never return true as a result of the page flag being set. Therefore, fix the code to call should_skip_kasan_poison() before clearing the flags, as we were doing before the reverted patch. This fixes a measurable performance regression introduced in the reverted commit, where munmap() takes longer than intended if HW tags KASAN is supported and enabled at runtime. Without this patch, we see a single-digit percentage performance regression in a particular mmap()-heavy benchmark when enabling HW tags KASAN, and with the patch, there is no statistically significant performance impact when enabling HW tags KASAN.

mm,hwpoison: rework soft offline for in-use pages This patch changes the way we set and handle in-use poisoned pages. Until now, poisoned pages were released to the buddy allocator, trusting that the checks that take place at allocation time would act as a safe net and would skip that page. This has proved to be wrong, as we got some pfn walkers out there, like compaction, that all they care is the page to be in a buddy freelist. Although this might not be the only user, having poisoned pages in the buddy allocator seems a bad idea as we should only have free pages that are ready and meant to be used as such. Before explaining the taken approach, let us break down the kind of pages we can soft offline. - Anonymous THP (after the split, they end up being 4K pages) - Hugetlb - Order-0 pages (that can be either migrated or invalited) * Normal pages (order-0 and anon-THP) - If they are clean and unmapped page cache pages, we invalidate then by means of invalidate_inode_page(). - If they are mapped/dirty, we do the isolate-and-migrate dance. Either way, do not call put_page directly from those paths. Instead, we keep the page and send it to page_handle_poison to perform the right handling. page_handle_poison sets the HWPoison flag and does the last put_page. Down the chain, we placed a check for HWPoison page in free_pages_prepare, that just skips any poisoned page, so those pages do not end up in any pcplist/freelist. After that, we set the refcount on the page to 1 and we increment the poisoned pages counter. If we see that the check in free_pages_prepare creates trouble, we can always do what we do for free pages: - wait until the page hits buddy's freelists - take it off, and flag it The downside of the above approach is that we could race with an allocation, so by the time we want to take the page off the buddy, the page has been already allocated so we cannot soft offline it. But the user could always retry it. * Hugetlb pages - We isolate-and-migrate them After the migration has been successful, we call dissolve_free_huge_page, and we set HWPoison on the page if we succeed. Hugetlb has a slightly different handling though. While for non-hugetlb pages we cared about closing the race with an allocation, doing so for hugetlb pages requires quite some additional and intrusive code (we would need to hook in free_huge_page and some other places). So I decided to not make the code overly complicated and just fail normally if the page we allocated in the meantime. We can always build on top of this. As a bonus, because of the way we handle now in-use pages, we no longer need the put-as-isolation-migratetype dance, that was guarding for poisoned pages to end up in pcplists.

When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that this page does not have an anonymous mapping We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed (i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.

mm,thp,rmap: simplify compound page mapcount handling Compound page (folio) mapcount calculations have been different for anon and file (or shmem) THPs, and involved the obscure PageDoubleMap flag. And each huge mapping and unmapping of a file (or shmem) THP involved atomically incrementing and decrementing the mapcount of every subpage of that huge page, dirtying many struct page cachelines. Add subpages_mapcount field to the struct folio and first tail page, so that the total of subpage mapcounts is available in one place near the head: then page_mapcount() and total_mapcount() and page_mapped(), and their folio equivalents, are so quick that anon and file and hugetlb don't need to be optimized differently. Delete the unloved PageDoubleMap. page_add and page_remove rmap functions must now maintain the subpages_mapcount as well as the subpage _mapcount, when dealing with pte mappings of huge pages; and correct maintenance of NR_ANON_MAPPED and NR_FILE_MAPPED statistics still needs reading through the subpages, using nr_subpages_unmapped() - but only when first or last pmd mapping finds subpages_mapcount raised (double-map case, not the common case). But are those counts (used to decide when to split an anon THP, and in vmscan's pagecache_reclaimable heuristic) correctly maintained? Not quite: since page_remove_rmap() (and also split_huge_pmd()) is often called without page lock, there can be races when a subpage pte mapcount 0<->1 while compound pmd mapcount 0<->1 is scanning - races which the previous implementation had prevented. The statistics might become inaccurate, and even drift down until they underflow through 0. That is not good enough, but is better dealt with in a followup patch. Update a few comments on first and second tail page overlaid fields. hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() has to "increment" compound_mapcount, but subpages_mapcount and compound_pincount are already correctly at 0, so delete its reinitialization of compound_pincount. A simple 100 X munmap(mmap(2GB, MAP_SHARED|MAP_POPULATE, tmpfs), 2GB) took 18 seconds on small pages, and used to take 1 second on huge pages, but now takes 119 milliseconds on huge pages. Mapping by pmds a second time used to take 860ms and now takes 92ms; mapping by pmds after mapping by ptes (when the scan is needed) used to take 870ms and now takes 495ms. But there might be some benchmarks which would show a slowdown, because tail struct pages now fall out of cache until final freeing checks them.

mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

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, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained.

mm: page table check Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed. Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double mapping. When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that this page does not have an anonymous mapping We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed (i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.

mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations. Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

mm, page_poison: use static key more efficiently Commit 11c9c7edae06 ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However, the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled. Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are inlined. The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers. Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter. Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support. Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single static key instead of having two static branches in page_poisoning_enabled_static().

However, this line of code in free_pages_prepare(): page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP; clears most of page->flags, including PG_skip_kasan_poison, before calling should_skip_kasan_poison(), which meant that it would never return true as a result of the page flag being set. Therefore, fix the code to call should_skip_kasan_poison() before clearing the flags, as we were doing before the reverted patch. This fixes a measurable performance regression introduced in the reverted commit, where munmap() takes longer than intended if HW tags KASAN is supported and enabled at runtime. Without this patch, we see a single-digit percentage performance regression in a particular mmap()-heavy benchmark when enabling HW tags KASAN, and with the patch, there is no statistically significant performance impact when enabling HW tags KASAN.

mm: introduce debug_pagealloc_{map,unmap}_pages() helpers Patch series "arch, mm: improve robustness of direct map manipulation", v7. During recent discussion about KVM protected memory, David raised a concern about usage of __kernel_map_pages() outside of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC scope [1]. Indeed, for architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP it is possible that __kernel_map_pages() would fail, but since this function is void, the failure will go unnoticed. Moreover, there's lack of consistency of __kernel_map_pages() semantics across architectures as some guard this function with #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, some refuse to update the direct map if page allocation debugging is disabled at run time and some allow modifying the direct map regardless of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC settings. This set straightens this out by restoring dependency of __kernel_map_pages() on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and updating the call sites accordingly. Since currently the only user of __kernel_map_pages() outside DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is hibernation, it is updated to make direct map accesses there more explicit. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2759b4bf-e1e3-d006-7d86-78a40348269d@redhat.com This patch (of 4): When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, it unmaps pages from the kernel direct mapping after free_pages(). The pages than need to be mapped back before they could be used. Theese mapping operations use __kernel_map_pages() guarded with with debug_pagealloc_enabled(). The only place that calls __kernel_map_pages() without checking whether DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled is the hibernation code that presumes availability of this function when ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is set. Still, on arm64, __kernel_map_pages() will bail out when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not enabled but set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() may render some pages not present in the direct map and hibernation code won't be able to save such pages. To make page allocation debugging and hibernation interaction more robust, the dependency on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP has to be made more explicit. Start with combining the guard condition and the call to __kernel_map_pages() into debug_pagealloc_map_pages() and debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages() functions to emphasize that __kernel_map_pages() should not be called without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and use these new functions to map/unmap pages when page allocation debugging is enabled.

mm/hibernation: Make hibernation handle unmapped pages Make hibernate handle unmapped pages on the direct map when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_ALIAS=y is set. These functions allow for setting pages to invalid configurations, so now hibernate should check if the pages have valid mappings and handle if they are unmapped when doing a hibernate save operation. Previously this checking was already done when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y was configured. It does not appear to have a big hibernating performance impact. The speed of the saving operation before this change was measured as 819.02 MB/s, and after was measured at 813.32 MB/s.

page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type The following two patches remove searching in the page allocator fast-path by maintaining multiple free-lists in the per-cpu structure.

The patches are as follows. They are based on mmotm-2009-08-27. Patch 1 adds multiple lists to struct per_cpu_pages, one per migratetype that can be stored on the PCP lists. Patch 2 notes that the pcpu drain path check empty lists multiple times. The patch reduces the number of checks by maintaining a count of free lists encountered. Lists containing pages will then free multiple pages in batch The patches were tested with kernbench, netperf udp/tcp, hackbench and sysbench. The netperf tests were not bound to any CPU in particular and were run such that the results should be 99% confidence that the reported results are within 1% of the estimated mean. sysbench was run with a postgres background and read-only tests. Similar to netperf, it was run multiple times so that it's 99% confidence results are within 1%.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations.

mm/page_alloc: free pages in a single pass during bulk free free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since commit 0a5f4e5b4562 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists until the zone lock is held. Now that list selection is simplier, the main cost during selection is bulkfree_pcp_prepare() which in the normal case is a simple check and prefetching. As the list manipulations have cost in itself, go back to freeing pages in a single pass.

mm, page_alloc: fix core hung in free_pcppages_bulk() The following race is observed with the repeated online, offline and a delay between two successive online of memory blocks of movable zone. P1 P2 Online the first memory block in the movable zone. The pcp struct values are initialized to default values,i.e., pcp->high = 0 & pcp->batch = 1. Allocate the pages from the movable zone. Try to Online the second memory block in the movable zone thus it entered the online_pages() but yet to call zone_pcp_update(). This process is entered into the exit path thus it tries to release the order-0 pages to pcp lists through free_unref_page_commit(). As pcp->high = 0, pcp->count = 1 proceed to call the function free_pcppages_bulk(). Update the pcp values thus the new pcp values are like, say, pcp->high = 378, pcp->batch = 63. Read the pcp's batch value using READ_ONCE() and pass the same to free_pcppages_bulk(), pcp values passed here are, batch = 63, count = 1. Since num of pages in the pcp lists are less than ->batch, then it will stuck in while(list_empty(list)) loop with interrupts disabled thus a core hung. Avoid this by ensuring free_pcppages_bulk() is called with proper count of pcp list pages. The mentioned race is some what easily reproducible without [1] because pcp's are not updated for the first memory block online and thus there is a enough race window for P2 between alloc+free and pcp struct values update through onlining of second memory block. With [1], the race still exists but it is very narrow as we update the pcp struct values for the first memory block online itself. This is not limited to the movable zone, it could also happen in cases with the normal zone (e.g., hotplug to a node that only has DMA memory, or no other memory yet).

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

mm/page_alloc: free pages in a single pass during bulk free free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since commit 0a5f4e5b4562 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists until the zone lock is held. Now that list selection is simplier, the main cost during selection is bulkfree_pcp_prepare() which in the normal case is a simple check and prefetching. As the list manipulations have cost in itself, go back to freeing pages in a single pass.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

These problem has been mitigated as now only the necessary number of structures is allocated for the running system. This patch replaces a list search in the per-cpu allocator with one list per migrate type. The potential snag with this approach is when bulk freeing pages. We round-robin free pages based on migrate type which has little bearing on the cache hotness of the page and potentially checks empty lists repeatedly in the event the majority of PCP pages are of one type.

/* Remove pages from lists in a round-robin fashion. */
page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type The following two patches remove searching in the page allocator fast-path by maintaining multiple free-lists in the per-cpu structure. At the time the search was introduced, increasing the per-cpu structures would waste a lot of memory as per-cpu structures were statically allocated at compile-time. This is no longer the case. The patches are as follows. They are based on mmotm-2009-08-27. Patch 1 adds multiple lists to struct per_cpu_pages, one per migratetype that can be stored on the PCP lists. Patch 2 notes that the pcpu drain path check empty lists multiple times. The patch reduces the number of checks by maintaining a count of free lists encountered. Lists containing pages will then free multiple pages in batch The patches were tested with kernbench, netperf udp/tcp, hackbench and sysbench. The netperf tests were not bound to any CPU in particular and were run such that the results should be 99% confidence that the reported results are within 1% of the estimated mean. sysbench was run with a postgres background and read-only tests. Similar to netperf, it was run multiple times so that it's 99% confidence results are within 1%. The patches were tested on x86, x86-64 and ppc64 as x86: Intel Pentium D 3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.34% to 2.28% gain netperf-tcp - 0.45% to 1.22% gain hackbench - Small variances, very close to noise sysbench - Very small gains x86-64: AMD Phenom 9950 1.3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.83% to 10.42% gains netperf-tcp - No conclusive until buffer >= PAGE_SIZE 4096 +15.83% 8192 + 0.34% (not significant) 16384 + 1% hackbench - Small gains, very close to noise sysbench - 0.79% to 1.6% gain ppc64: PPC970MP 2.5GHz with 10GB RAM (it's a terrasoft powerstation) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 2-3% gain for almost all buffer sizes tested netperf-tcp - losses on small buffers, gains on larger buffers possibly indicates some bad caching effect. hackbench - No significant difference sysbench - 2-4% gain This patch: Currently the per-cpu page allocator searches the PCP list for pages of the correct migrate-type to reduce the possibility of pages being inappropriate placed from a fragmentation perspective. This search is potentially expensive in a fast-path and undesirable. Splitting the per-cpu list into multiple lists increases the size of a per-cpu structure and this was potentially a major problem at the time the search was introduced. These problem has been mitigated as now only the necessary number of structures is allocated for the running system. This patch replaces a list search in the per-cpu allocator with one list per migrate type. The potential snag with this approach is when bulk freeing pages.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed.

mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

/* must delete to avoid corrupting pcp list */
mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

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 51bb1a4093 ("mm/page_alloc: add freepage on isolate pageblock to correct buddy list") and related patches. As explained above, the check wouldn't be able to catch them reliably anyway. For the same reason false positives can happen, although they are harmless, as the move_freepages() call would just move the page to the same freelist it's already on. So removing the test is not a bug fix, just cleanup. After this patch, we assume that all PageBuddy pages are on the correct freelist and that the races were really fixed. A truly reliable verification in the form of e.g. VM_BUG_ON() would be complicated and is arguably not needed. The second test (page_count(page) == 0 && get_freepage_migratetype(page) == MIGRATE_ISOLATE) is probably supposed (the code comes from a big memory isolation patch from 2007) to catch pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pcplists. However, pcplists don't contain MIGRATE_ISOLATE freepages nowadays, those are freed directly to free lists, so the check is obsolete. Remove it as well.

mm/page_alloc: free pages in a single pass during bulk free free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since commit 0a5f4e5b4562 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists until the zone lock is held. Now that list selection is simplier, the main cost during selection is bulkfree_pcp_prepare() which in the normal case is a simple check and prefetching. As the list manipulations have cost in itself, go back to freeing pages in a single pass. The series up to this point was evaulated using a trunc microbenchmark that is truncating sparse files stored in page cache (mmtests config config-io-trunc).

mm/page_alloc: free pages in a single pass during bulk free free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since commit 0a5f4e5b4562 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists until the zone lock is held. Now that list selection is simplier, the main cost during selection is bulkfree_pcp_prepare() which in the normal case is a simple check and prefetching. As the list manipulations have cost in itself, go back to freeing pages in a single pass.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core() __free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory to the buddy during system boot and when onlining memory in generic_online_page(). generic_online_page() is used in two cases: 1. Direct memory onlining in online_pages(). 2. Deferred memory onlining in memory-ballooning-like mechanisms (HyperV balloon and virtio-mem), when parts of a section are kept fake-offline to be fake-onlined later on. In 1, we already place pages to the tail of the freelist. Pages will be freed to MIGRATE_ISOLATE lists first and moved to the tail of the freelists via undo_isolate_page_range(). In 2, we currently don't implement a proper rule. In case of virtio-mem, where we currently always online MAX_ORDER - 1 pages, the pages will be placed to the HEAD of the freelist - undesireable. While the hyper-v balloon calls generic_online_page() with single pages, usually it will call it on successive single pages in a larger block. The pages are fresh, so place them to the tail of the freelist and avoid the PCP. In __free_pages_core(), remove the now superflouos call to set_page_refcounted() and add a comment regarding page initialization and the refcount. Note: In 2. we currently don't shuffle. If ever relevant (page shuffling is usually of limited use in virtualized environments), we might want to shuffle after a sequence of generic_online_page() calls in the relevant callers.

mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular. This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page() instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs. free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be correct. Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is running but that is not a common operation.

mm/page_alloc: fix incorrect isolation behavior by rechecking migratetype Before describing bugs itself, I first explain definition of freepage. 1. pages on buddy list are counted as freepage. 2. pages on isolate migratetype buddy list are *not* counted as freepage. 3. pages on cma buddy list are counted as CMA freepage, too. Now, I describe problems and related patch. Patch 1: There is race conditions on getting pageblock migratetype that it results in misplacement of freepages on buddy list, incorrect freepage count and un-availability of freepage. Patch 2: Freepages on pcp list could have stale cached information to determine migratetype of buddy list to go. This causes misplacement of freepages on buddy list and incorrect freepage count. Patch 4: Merging between freepages on different migratetype of pageblocks will cause freepages accouting problem. This patch fixes it. Without patchset [3], above problem doesn't happens on my CMA allocation test, because CMA reserved pages aren't used at all. So there is no chance for above race. With patchset [3], I did simple CMA allocation test and get below result: - Virtual machine, 4 cpus, 1024 MB memory, 256 MB CMA reservation - run kernel build (make -j16) on background - 30 times CMA allocation(8MB * 30 = 240MB) attempts in 5 sec interval - Result: more than 5000 freepage count are missed With patchset [3] and this patchset, I found that no freepage count are missed so that I conclude that problems are solved. On my simple memory offlining test, these problems also occur on that environment, too. This patch (of 4): There are two paths to reach core free function of buddy allocator, __free_one_page(), one is free_one_page()->__free_one_page() and the other is free_hot_cold_page()->free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page(). Each paths has race condition causing serious problems. At first, this patch is focused on first type of freepath. And then, following patch will solve the problem in second type of freepath. In the first type of freepath, we got migratetype of freeing page without holding the zone lock, so it could be racy. There are two cases of this race. 1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring orignal migratetype CPU1 CPU2 get migratetype => return MIGRATE_ISOLATE call free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE grab the zone lock unisolate pageblock release the zone lock grab the zone lock call __free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE freepage go into isolate buddy list, although pageblock is already unisolated This may cause two problems. One is that we can't use this page anymore until next isolation attempt of this pageblock, because freepage is on isolate buddy list. The other is that freepage accouting could be wrong due to merging between different buddy list. Freepages on isolate buddy list aren't counted as freepage, but ones on normal buddy list are counted as freepage. If merge happens, buddy freepage on normal buddy list is inevitably moved to isolate buddy list without any consideration of freepage accouting so it could be incorrect. 2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated. It is similar with above case. This also may cause two problems. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage would be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is same as case 1, that it, incorrect freepage accouting. This race condition would be prevented by checking migratetype again with holding the zone lock. Because it is somewhat heavy operation and it isn't needed in common case, we want to avoid rechecking as much as possible. So this patch introduce new variable, nr_isolate_pageblock in struct zone to check if there is isolated pageblock. With this, we can avoid to re-check migratetype in common case and do it only if there is isolated pageblock or migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. This solve above mentioned problems. Changes from v3: Add one more check in free_one_page() that checks whether migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE or not. Without this, abovementioned case 1 could happens.

mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular. This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page() instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs. free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be correct. Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is running but that is not a common operation.

mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

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.

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.

mm/page_alloc: add some comments to explain the possible hole in __pageblock_pfn_to_page() Now the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used by set_zone_contiguous(), which checks whether the given zone contains holes, and uses pfn_to_online_page() to validate if the start pfn is online and valid, as well as using pfn_valid() to validate the end pfn. However, the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() function may return non-NULL even if the end pfn of a pageblock is in a memory hole in some situations. For example, if the pageblock order is MAX_ORDER, which will fall into 2 sub-sections, and the end pfn of the pageblock may be hole even though the start pfn is online and valid. See below memory layout as an example and suppose the pageblock order is MAX_ORDER. [ 0.000000] Zone ranges: [ 0.000000] DMA [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x00000000ffffffff] [ 0.000000] DMA32 empty [ 0.000000] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001fa7ffffff] [ 0.000000] Movable zone start for each node [ 0.000000] Early memory node ranges [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x0000001fa3c7ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa3c80000-0x0000001fa3ffffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4000000-0x0000001fa402ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa4030000-0x0000001fa40effff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa40f0000-0x0000001fa73cffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa73d0000-0x0000001fa745ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7460000-0x0000001fa746ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7470000-0x0000001fa758ffff] [ 0.000000] node 0: [mem 0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff] Focus on the last memory range, and there is a hole for the range [mem 0x0000001fa7590000-0x0000001fa7dfffff]. That means the last pageblock will contain the range from 0x1fa7c00000 to 0x1fa7ffffff, since the pageblock must be 4M aligned. And in this pageblock, these pfns will fall into 2 sub-section (the sub-section size is 2M aligned). So, the 1st sub-section (indicates pfn range: 0x1fa7c00000 - 0x1fa7dfffff ) in this pageblock is valid by calling subsection_map_init() in free_area_init(), but the 2nd sub-section (indicates pfn range: 0x1fa7e00000 - 0x1fa7ffffff ) in this pageblock is not valid. This did not break anything until now, but the zone continuous is fragile in this possible scenario. So as previous discussion[1], it is better to add some comments to explain this possible issue in case there are some future pfn walkers that rely on this.

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: deferred_init_memmap improvements Patch series "complete deferred page initialization", v12. SMP machines can benefit from the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT config option, which defers initializing struct pages until all cpus have been started so it can be done in parallel. However, this feature is sub-optimal, because the deferred page initialization code expects that the struct pages have already been zeroed, and the zeroing is done early in boot with a single thread only. Also, we access that memory and set flags before struct pages are initialized. All of this is fixed in this patchset. In this work we do the following: - Never read access struct page until it was initialized - Never set any fields in struct pages before they are initialized - Zero struct page at the beginning of struct page initialization ========================================================================== Performance improvements on x86 machine with 8 nodes: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 v3 @ 2.60GHz and 1T of memory: TIME SPEED UP base no deferred: 95.796233s fix no deferred: 79.978956s 19.77% base deferred: 77.254713s fix deferred: 55.050509s 40.34% ========================================================================== SPARC M6 3600 MHz with 15T of memory TIME SPEED UP base no deferred: 358.335727s fix no deferred: 302.320936s 18.52% base deferred: 237.534603s fix deferred: 182.103003s 30.44% ========================================================================== Raw dmesg output with timestamps: x86 base no deferred: https://hastebin.com/ofunepurit.scala x86 base deferred: https://hastebin.com/ifazegeyas.scala x86 fix no deferred: https://hastebin.com/pegocohevo.scala x86 fix deferred: https://hastebin.com/ofupevikuk.scala sparc base no deferred: https://hastebin.com/ibobeteken.go sparc base deferred: https://hastebin.com/fariqimiyu.go sparc fix no deferred: https://hastebin.com/muhegoheyi.go sparc fix deferred: https://hastebin.com/xadinobutu.go This patch (of 11): deferred_init_memmap() is called when struct pages are initialized later in boot by slave CPUs. This patch simplifies and optimizes this function, and also fixes a couple issues (described below). The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas instead of all configured memory. Thus, we do not have to check if the struct page has already been initialized. ===== In deferred_init_memmap() where all deferred struct pages are initialized we have a check like this: if (page->flags) { VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(page) != zone); goto free_range; } This way we are checking if the current deferred page has already been initialized. It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed, and the only way flags are not zero if it went through __init_single_page() before. But, once we change the current behavior and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized. This patch fixes this. The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free memory ranges provided by memblock. Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is merged: ===== This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined. In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this: if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn) goto free_range; Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn' advances. Thus means if deferred struct pages are enabled on systems with these kind of holes, linux would get memory corruptions. I have fixed this issue by defining a new macro that performs all the necessary operations when we free the current set of pages.

mm: split deferred_init_range into initializing and freeing parts In deferred_init_range() we initialize struct pages, and also free them to buddy allocator. We do it in separate loops, because buddy page is computed ahead, so we do not want to access a struct page that has not been initialized yet. There is still, however, a corner case where it is potentially possible to access uninitialized struct page: this is when buddy page is from the next memblock range. This patch fixes this problem by splitting deferred_init_range() into two functions: one to initialize struct pages, and another to free them. In addition, this patch brings the following improvements: - Get rid of __def_free() helper function. And simplifies loop logic by adding a new pfn validity check function: deferred_pfn_valid(). - Reduces number of variables that we track. So, there is a higher chance that we will avoid using stack to store/load variables inside hot loops. - Enables future multi-threading of these functions: do initialization in multiple threads, wait for all threads to finish, do freeing part in multithreading. Tested on x86 with 1T of memory to make sure no regressions are introduced.

The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas instead of all configured memory.

It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed, and the only way flags are not zero if it went through __init_single_page() before. But, once we change the current behavior and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized. This patch fixes this. The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free memory ranges provided by memblock. Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is merged: ===== This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined. In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this: if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn) goto free_range; Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn' advances.

In this work we do the following: - Never read access struct page until it was initialized - Never set any fields in struct pages before they are initialized - Zero struct page at the beginning of struct page initialization ========================================================================== Performance improvements on x86 machine with 8 nodes: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 v3 @ 2.60GHz and 1T of memory: TIME SPEED UP base no deferred: 95.796233s fix no deferred: 79.978956s 19.77% base deferred: 77.254713s fix deferred: 55.050509s 40.34% ========================================================================== SPARC M6 3600 MHz with 15T of memory TIME SPEED UP base no deferred: 358.335727s fix no deferred: 302.320936s 18.52% base deferred: 237.534603s fix deferred: 182.103003s 30.44% ========================================================================== Raw dmesg output with timestamps: x86 base no deferred: https://hastebin.com/ofunepurit.scala x86 base deferred: https://hastebin.com/ifazegeyas.scala x86 fix no deferred: https://hastebin.com/pegocohevo.scala x86 fix deferred: https://hastebin.com/ofupevikuk.scala sparc base no deferred: https://hastebin.com/ibobeteken.go sparc base deferred: https://hastebin.com/fariqimiyu.go sparc fix no deferred: https://hastebin.com/muhegoheyi.go sparc fix deferred: https://hastebin.com/xadinobutu.go This patch (of 11): deferred_init_memmap() is called when struct pages are initialized later in boot by slave CPUs. This patch simplifies and optimizes this function, and also fixes a couple issues (described below). The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas instead of all configured memory. Thus, we do not have to check if the struct page has already been initialized. ===== In deferred_init_memmap() where all deferred struct pages are initialized we have a check like this: if (page->flags) { VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(page) != zone); goto free_range; } This way we are checking if the current deferred page has already been initialized. It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed, and the only way flags are not zero if it went through __init_single_page() before. But, once we change the current behavior and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized. This patch fixes this. The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free memory ranges provided by memblock. Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is merged: ===== This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined. In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this: if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn) goto free_range; Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn' advances. Thus means if deferred struct pages are enabled on systems with these kind of holes, linux would get memory corruptions. I have fixed this issue by defining a new macro that performs all the necessary operations when we free the current set of pages.

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap() Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter. The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is the smallest size that the alignment allows. The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap() Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter. The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is the smallest size that the alignment allows. The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

mm/page_alloc: clear all pages in post_alloc_hook() with init_on_alloc=1 commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options") resulted with init_on_alloc=1 in all pages leaving the buddy via alloc_pages() and friends to be initialized/cleared/zeroed on allocation. However, the same logic is currently not applied to alloc_contig_pages(): allocated pages leaving the buddy aren't cleared with init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=0. Let's also properly clear pages on that allocation path. To achieve that, let's move clearing into post_alloc_hook(). This will not only affect alloc_contig_pages() allocations but also any pages used as migration target in compaction code via compaction_alloc(). While this sounds sub-optimal, it's the very same handling as when allocating migration targets via alloc_migration_target() - pages will get properly cleared with init_on_free=1. In case we ever want to optimize migration in that regard, we should tackle all such migration users - if we believe migration code can be fully trusted. With this change, we will see double clearing of pages in some cases. One example are gigantic pages (either allocated via CMA, or allocated dynamically via alloc_contig_pages()) - which is the right thing to do (and to be optimized outside of the buddy in the callers) as discussed in: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201019182853.7467-1-gpiccoli@canonical.com This change implies that with init_on_alloc=1 - All CMA allocations will be cleared - Gigantic pages allocated via alloc_contig_pages() will be cleared - virtio-mem memory to be unplugged will be cleared. While this is suboptimal, it's similar to memory balloon drivers handling, where all pages to be inflated will get cleared as well. - Pages isolated for compaction will be cleared Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201120180452.19071-1-david@redhat.com Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

kasan, page_alloc: merge kasan_alloc_pages into post_alloc_hook Currently, the code responsible for initializing and poisoning memory in post_alloc_hook() is scattered across two locations: kasan_alloc_pages() hook for HW_TAGS KASAN and post_alloc_hook() itself. This is confusing. This and a few following patches combine the code from these two locations. Along the way, these patches do a step-by-step restructure the many performed checks to make them easier to follow. Replace the only caller of kasan_alloc_pages() with its implementation. As kasan_has_integrated_init() is only true when CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, moving the code does no functional changes. Also move init and init_tags variables definitions out of kasan_has_integrated_init() clause in post_alloc_hook(), as they have the same values regardless of what the if condition evaluates to. This patch is not useful by itself but makes the simplifications in the following patches easier to follow.

/*
kasan: allow sampling page_alloc allocations for HW_TAGS As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big, tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant slowdown. Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown: - kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second added parameter (default: tag every such allocation). - kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below). The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters depends on their values and the applied workload. The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is done for two reasons: 1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled. 2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown. Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better. Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value of KASAN as a security mitigation.

kasan: allow sampling page_alloc allocations for HW_TAGS As Hardware Tag-Based KASAN is intended to be used in production, its performance impact is crucial. As page_alloc allocations tend to be big, tagging and checking all such allocations can introduce a significant slowdown. Add two new boot parameters that allow to alleviate that slowdown: - kasan.page_alloc.sample, which makes Hardware Tag-Based KASAN tag only every Nth page_alloc allocation with the order configured by the second added parameter (default: tag every such allocation). - kasan.page_alloc.sample.order, which makes sampling enabled by the first parameter only affect page_alloc allocations with the order equal or greater than the specified value (default: 3, see below). The exact performance improvement caused by using the new parameters depends on their values and the applied workload. The chosen default value for kasan.page_alloc.sample.order is 3, which matches both PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER. This is done for two reasons: 1. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is "the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service", which corresponds to the idea that only large and thus costly allocations are supposed to sampled. 2. One of the workloads targeted by this patch is a benchmark that sends a large amount of data over a local loopback connection. Most multi-page data allocations in the networking subsystem have the order of SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER (or PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). When running a local loopback test on a testing MTE-enabled device in sync mode, enabling Hardware Tag-Based KASAN introduces a ~50% slowdown. Applying this patch and setting kasan.page_alloc.sampling to a value higher than 1 allows to lower the slowdown. The performance improvement saturates around the sampling interval value of 10 with the default sampling page order of 3. This lowers the slowdown to ~20%. The slowdown in real scenarios involving the network will likely be better. Enabling page_alloc sampling has a downside: KASAN misses bad accesses to a page_alloc allocation that has not been tagged. This lowers the value of KASAN as a security mitigation. However, based on measuring the number of page_alloc allocations of different orders during boot in a test build, sampling with the default kasan.page_alloc.sample.order value affects only ~7% of allocations.

kasan, mm: integrate page_alloc init with HW_TAGS This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of HW_TAGS KASAN routines for page_alloc memory when init_on_alloc/free is enabled. With this change, kernel_init_free_pages() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_alloc/free are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN and kernel_init_free_pages() hooks are put together and a warning comment is added. This patch changes the order in which memory initialization and page poisoning hooks are called. This doesn't lead to any side-effects, as whenever page poisoning is enabled, memory initialization gets disabled. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc/free is enabled.

mm: page table check Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed. Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double mapping. When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that this page does not have an anonymous mapping We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed (i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.

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.

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.

mm: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page() The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages* functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change, along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations. The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION. The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks like this: struct alloc_context { struct zonelist *zonelist; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zone *preferred_zone; int classzone_idx; int migratetype; enum zone_type high_zoneidx; }; All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath() changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again (although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context. Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in Patch 2. Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be moved to a shared header. Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization.

This is not obvious and has at least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set correctly, see commit 8fb74b9fb2b1 ("mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page"). This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it needs to gain alloc_flags parameter.

mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc(): if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping) skb->pfmemalloc = true; It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be trusted. However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping to NULL and leave page->index value alone. Due to being in union, a non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc. So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page. And it seems it can. We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf. There is no copying going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the server which has been dropped and thus never arrive. The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead. We can reuse the index again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL). This is the page index so it should never see the value that large. Replace all direct users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this nastiness from unspoiled eyes. The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is really needed (e.g. what SLAB and SLUB do).

* page is set pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was necessary to
mm: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page() The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages* functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change, along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations. The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION. The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks like this: struct alloc_context { struct zonelist *zonelist; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zone *preferred_zone; int classzone_idx; int migratetype; enum zone_type high_zoneidx; }; All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath() changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again (although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context. Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in Patch 2. Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be moved to a shared header. Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization. Overall bloat-o-meter results: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 0/-460 (-460) function old new delta nr_free_zone_pages 129 115 -14 __alloc_pages_direct_compact 329 256 -73 get_page_from_freelist 2670 2576 -94 __alloc_pages_nodemask 2564 2285 -279 try_to_compact_pages 582 579 -3 Overall stack sizes per ./scripts/checkstack.pl: old new delta get_page_from_freelist: 184 184 0 __alloc_pages_nodemask 248 200 -48 __alloc_pages_direct_c 40 - -40 try_to_compact_pages 72 72 0 -88 [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140142462528257&w=2 This patch (of 4): prep_new_page() sets almost everything in the struct page of the page being allocated, except page->pfmemalloc. This is not obvious and has at least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set correctly, see commit 8fb74b9fb2b1 ("mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page"). This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it needs to gain alloc_flags parameter. The call to prep_new_page is moved from buffered_rmqueue() to get_page_from_freelist(), which also leads to simpler code. An obsolete comment for buffered_rmqueue() is replaced. In addition to better maintainability there is a small reduction of code and stack usage for get_page_from_freelist(), which inlines the other functions involved. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-145 (-145) function old new delta get_page_from_freelist 2670 2525 -145 Stack usage is reduced from 184 to 168 bytes.

Bias the location of pages freed for min_free_kbytes in the same MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks The standard buddy allocator always favours the smallest block of pages. The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends to be preserved since boot time at the same location of memory ffor a very long time and as a contiguous block. When an administrator sets the reserve at 16384 at boot time, it tends to be the same MAX_ORDER blocks that remain free. This allows the occasional high atomic allocation to succeed up until the point the blocks are split. In practice, it is difficult to split these blocks but when they do split, the benefit of having min_free_kbytes for contiguous blocks disappears. Additionally, increasing min_free_kbytes once the system has been running for some time has no guarantee of creating contiguous blocks. On the other hand, CONFIG_PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY favours splitting large blocks when there are no free pages of the appropriate type available. A side-effect of this is that all blocks in memory tends to be used up and the contiguous free blocks from boot time are not preserved like in the vanilla allocator. This can cause a problem if a new caller is unwilling to reclaim or does not reclaim for long enough. A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC. This was reproduced on a desktop by booting with mem=256mb, forcing the driver to allocate at order-1, running a bittorrent client (downloading a debian ISO) and building a kernel with -j2. This patch addresses the problem on the desktop machine booted with mem=256mb. It works by setting aside a reserve of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks, the number of which depends on the value of min_free_kbytes. These blocks are only fallen back to when there is no other free pages. Then the smallest possible page is used just like the normal buddy allocator instead of the largest possible page to preserve contiguous pages The pages in free lists in the reserve blocks are never taken for another migrate type. The results is that even if min_free_kbytes is set to a low value, contiguous blocks will be preserved in the MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks. This works better than the vanilla allocator because if min_free_kbytes is increased, a new reserve block will be chosen based on the location of reclaimable pages and the block will free up as contiguous pages. In the vanilla allocator, no effort is made to target a block of pages to free as contiguous pages and min_free_kbytes pages are scattered randomly. This effect has been observed on the test machine. min_free_kbytes was set initially low but it was kept as a contiguous free block within MIGRATE_RESERVE. min_free_kbytes was then set to a higher value and over a period of time, the free blocks were within the reserve and coalescing. How long it takes to free up depends on how quickly LRU is rotating. Amusingly, this means that more activity will free the blocks faster. This mechanism potentially replaces MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC as it may be more effective than grouping contiguous free pages together. It all depends on whether the number of active atomic high allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes or not. If the number of active allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes, it's worth it but maybe in that situation, min_free_kbytes should be set higher. Once there are no more reports of allocation failures, a patch will be submitted that backs out MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC and see if the reports stay missing.

mm/page_alloc: make sure __rmqueue() etc are always inline __rmqueue(), __rmqueue_fallback(), __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_cma_fallback() are all in page allocator's hot path and better be finished as soon as possible. One way to make them faster is by making them inline. But as Andrew Morton and Andi Kleen pointed out: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1252 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1279 To make sure they are inlined, we should use __always_inline for them. With the will-it-scale/page_fault1/process benchmark, when using nr_cpu processes to stress buddy, the results for will-it-scale.processes with and without the patch are: On a 2-sockets Intel-Skylake machine: compiler base head gcc-4.4.7 6496131 6911823 +6.4% gcc-4.9.4 7225110 7731072 +7.0% gcc-5.4.1 7054224 7688146 +9.0% gcc-6.2.0 7059794 7651675 +8.4% On a 4-sockets Intel-Skylake machine: compiler base head gcc-4.4.7 13162890 13508193 +2.6% gcc-4.9.4 14997463 15484353 +3.2% gcc-5.4.1 14708711 15449805 +5.0% gcc-6.2.0 14574099 15349204 +5.3% The above 4 compilers are used because I've done the tests through Intel's Linux Kernel Performance(LKP) infrastructure and they are the available compilers there. The benefit being less on 4 sockets machine is due to the lock contention there(perf-profile/native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath=81%) is less severe than on the 2 sockets machine(85%). What the benchmark does is: it forks nr_cpu processes and then each process does the following: 1 mmap() 128M anonymous space; 2 writes to each page there to trigger actual page allocation; 3 munmap() it. in a loop. https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale/blob/master/tests/page_fault1.c Binary size wise, I have locally built them with different compilers: [aaron@aaronlu obj]$ size */*/mm/page_alloc.o text data bss dec hex filename 37409 9904 8524 55837 da1d gcc-4.9.4/base/mm/page_alloc.o 38273 9904 8524 56701 dd7d gcc-4.9.4/head/mm/page_alloc.o 37465 9840 8428 55733 d9b5 gcc-5.5.0/base/mm/page_alloc.o 38169 9840 8428 56437 dc75 gcc-5.5.0/head/mm/page_alloc.o 37573 9840 8428 55841 da21 gcc-6.4.0/base/mm/page_alloc.o 38261 9840 8428 56529 dcd1 gcc-6.4.0/head/mm/page_alloc.o 36863 9840 8428 55131 d75b gcc-7.2.0/base/mm/page_alloc.o 37711 9840 8428 55979 daab gcc-7.2.0/head/mm/page_alloc.o Text size increased about 800 bytes for mm/page_alloc.o.

A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC. This was reproduced on a desktop by booting with mem=256mb, forcing the driver to allocate at order-1, running a bittorrent client (downloading a debian ISO) and building a kernel with -j2. This patch addresses the problem on the desktop machine booted with mem=256mb. It works by setting aside a reserve of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks, the number of which depends on the value of min_free_kbytes. These blocks are only fallen back to when there is no other free pages. Then the smallest possible page is used just like the normal buddy allocator instead of the largest possible page to preserve contiguous pages The pages in free lists in the reserve blocks are never taken for another migrate type. The results is that even if min_free_kbytes is set to a low value, contiguous blocks will be preserved in the MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks. This works better than the vanilla allocator because if min_free_kbytes is increased, a new reserve block will be chosen based on the location of reclaimable pages and the block will free up as contiguous pages. In the vanilla allocator, no effort is made to target a block of pages to free as contiguous pages and min_free_kbytes pages are scattered randomly. This effect has been observed on the test machine. min_free_kbytes was set initially low but it was kept as a contiguous free block within MIGRATE_RESERVE. min_free_kbytes was then set to a higher value and over a period of time, the free blocks were within the reserve and coalescing. How long it takes to free up depends on how quickly LRU is rotating. Amusingly, this means that more activity will free the blocks faster. This mechanism potentially replaces MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC as it may be more effective than grouping contiguous free pages together. It all depends on whether the number of active atomic high allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes or not. If the number of active allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes, it's worth it but maybe in that situation, min_free_kbytes should be set higher. Once there are no more reports of allocation failures, a patch will be submitted that backs out MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC and see if the reports stay missing.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

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.

Bias the location of pages freed for min_free_kbytes in the same MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks The standard buddy allocator always favours the smallest block of pages. The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends to be preserved since boot time at the same location of memory ffor a very long time and as a contiguous block. When an administrator sets the reserve at 16384 at boot time, it tends to be the same MAX_ORDER blocks that remain free. This allows the occasional high atomic allocation to succeed up until the point the blocks are split. In practice, it is difficult to split these blocks but when they do split, the benefit of having min_free_kbytes for contiguous blocks disappears. Additionally, increasing min_free_kbytes once the system has been running for some time has no guarantee of creating contiguous blocks. On the other hand, CONFIG_PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY favours splitting large blocks when there are no free pages of the appropriate type available. A side-effect of this is that all blocks in memory tends to be used up and the contiguous free blocks from boot time are not preserved like in the vanilla allocator. This can cause a problem if a new caller is unwilling to reclaim or does not reclaim for long enough. A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC.

mm/cma: change fallback behaviour for CMA freepage Freepage with MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE and they should not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list to protect them from unmovable/reclaimable allocation. Implementing these requirements in __rmqueue_fallback(), that is, finding largest possible block of freepage has bad effect that high order freepage with MIGRATE_CMA are broken continually although there are suitable order CMA freepage. Reason is that they are not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list and next __rmqueue_fallback() invocation try to finds another largest block of freepage and break it again. So, MIGRATE_CMA fallback should be handled separately. This patch introduces __rmqueue_cma_fallback(), that just wrapper of __rmqueue_smallest() and call it before __rmqueue_fallback() if migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE. This results in unintended behaviour change that MIGRATE_CMA freepage is always used first rather than other migratetype as movable allocation's fallback. But, as already mentioned above, MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it is better to use MIGRATE_CMA freepage first as much as possible. Otherwise, we needlessly take up precious freepages with other migratetype and increase chance of fragmentation.

The benefit being less on 4 sockets machine is due to the lock contention there(perf-profile/native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath=81%) is less severe than on the 2 sockets machine(85%).

mm/page_alloc: move pages to tail in move_to_free_list() Whenever we move pages between freelists via move_to_free_list()/ move_freepages_block(), we don't actually touch the pages: 1. Page isolation doesn't actually touch the pages, it simply isolates pageblocks and moves all free pages to the MIGRATE_ISOLATE freelist. When undoing isolation, we move the pages back to the target list. 2. Page stealing (steal_suitable_fallback()) moves free pages directly between lists without touching them. 3. reserve_highatomic_pageblock()/unreserve_highatomic_pageblock() moves free pages directly between freelists without touching them. We already place pages to the tail of the freelists when undoing isolation via __putback_isolated_page(), let's do it in any case (e.g., if order <= pageblock_order) and document the behavior. To simplify, let's move the pages to the tail for all move_to_free_list()/move_freepages_block() users. In 2., the target list is empty, so there should be no change. In 3., we might observe a change, however, highatomic is more concerned about allocations succeeding than cache hotness - if we ever realize this change degrades a workload, we can special-case this instance and add a proper comment. This change results in all pages getting onlined via online_pages() to be placed to the tail of the freelist.

* Move the free pages in a range to the freelist tail of the requested type.
Do not depend on MAX_ORDER when grouping pages by mobility Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size. However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page size is runtime configurable. It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true, page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time kernel parameter. One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

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: 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.

mm, page_alloc: move_freepages should not examine struct page of reserved memory After commit 907ec5fca3dc ("mm: zero remaining unavailable struct pages"), struct page of reserved memory is zeroed. This causes page->flags to be 0 and fixes issues related to reading /proc/kpageflags, for example, of reserved memory. The VM_BUG_ON() in move_freepages_block(), however, assumes that page_zone() is meaningful even for reserved memory. That assumption is no longer true after the aforementioned commit. There's no reason why move_freepages_block() should be testing the legitimacy of page_zone() for reserved memory; its scope is limited only to pages on the zone's freelist. Note that pfn_valid() can be true for reserved memory: there is a backing struct page. The check for page_to_nid(page) is also buggy but reserved memory normally only appears on node 0 so the zeroing doesn't affect this. Move the debug checks to after verifying PageBuddy is true. This isolates the scope of the checks to only be for buddy pages which are on the zone's freelist which move_freepages_block() is operating on. In this case, an incorrect node or zone is a bug worthy of being warned about (and the examination of struct page is acceptable bcause this memory is not reserved). Why does move_freepages_block() gets called on reserved memory? It's simply math after finding a valid free page from the per-zone free area to use as fallback. We find the beginning and end of the pageblock of the valid page and that can bring us into memory that was reserved per the e820. pfn_valid() is still true (it's backed by a struct page), but since it's zero'd we shouldn't make any inferences here about comparing its node or zone. The current node check just happens to succeed most of the time by luck because reserved memory typically appears on node 0. The fix here is to validate that we actually have buddy pages before testing if there's any type of zone or node strangeness going on. We noticed it almost immediately after bringing 907ec5fca3dc in on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds. It depends on finding specific free pages in the per-zone free area where the math in move_freepages() will bring the start or end pfn into reserved memory and wanting to claim that entire pageblock as a new migratetype. So the path will be rare, require CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, and require fallback to a different migratetype. Some struct pages were already zeroed from reserve pages before 907ec5fca3c so it theoretically could trigger before this commit. I think it's rare enough under a config option that most people don't run that others may not have noticed. I wouldn't argue against a stable tag and the backport should be easy enough, but probably wouldn't single out a commit that this is fixing. Mel said: : The overhead of the debugging check is higher with this patch although : it'll only affect debug builds and the path is not particularly hot. : If this was a concern, I think it would be reasonable to simply remove : the debugging check as the zone boundaries are checked in : move_freepages_block and we never expect a zone/node to be smaller than : a pageblock and stuck in the middle of another zone.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside! First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of pageblocks. Under some conditions, we try to move upto 'pageblock_nr_pages' no. of pages to the preferred allocation list. But we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set). However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the 'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not. So, the page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e., 'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0). So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to the right place. But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype' variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()". Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is MIGRATE_CMA!! To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA. So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug. And while at it, also add a comment explaining the subtlety behind the migratetype used in the call to expand().

mm: more aggressive page stealing for UNMOVABLE allocations When allocation falls back to stealing free pages of another migratetype, it can decide to steal extra pages, or even the whole pageblock in order to reduce fragmentation, which could happen if further allocation fallbacks pick a different pageblock. In try_to_steal_freepages(), one of the situations where extra pages are stolen happens when we are trying to allocate a MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page. However, MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE allocations are not treated the same way, although spreading such allocation over multiple fallback pageblocks is arguably even worse than it is for RECLAIMABLE allocations. To minimize fragmentation, we should minimize the number of such fallbacks, and thus steal as much as is possible from each fallback pageblock. Note that in theory this might put more pressure on movable pageblocks and cause movable allocations to steal back from unmovable pageblocks. However, movable allocations are not as aggressive with stealing, and do not cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff is reasonable, and evaluation seems to support the change. This patch thus adds a check for MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE to the decision to steal extra free pages. When evaluating with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the number of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE fallbacks to roughly 1/6. The number of these fallbacks stealing from MIGRATE_MOVABLE block is reduced to 1/3. There was no observation of growing number of unmovable pageblocks over time, and also not of increased movable allocation fallbacks.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

mm: limit boost_watermark on small zones Commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") adds a boost_watermark() function which increases the min watermark in a zone by at least pageblock_nr_pages or the number of pages in a page block. On Arm64, with 64K pages and 512M huge pages, this is 8192 pages or 512M. It does this regardless of the number of managed pages managed in the zone or the likelihood of success. This can put the zone immediately under water in terms of allocating pages from the zone, and can cause a small machine to fail immediately due to OoM. Unlike set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(), which substantially increases min_free_kbytes and is tied to THP, boost_watermark() can be called even if THP is not active. The problem is most likely to appear on architectures such as Arm64 where pageblock_nr_pages is very large. It is desirable to run the kdump capture kernel in as small a space as possible to avoid wasting memory. In some architectures, such as Arm64, there are restrictions on where the capture kernel can run, and therefore, the space available. A capture kernel running in 768M can fail due to OoM immediately after boost_watermark() sets the min in zone DMA32, where most of the memory is, to 512M. It fails even though there is over 500M of free memory. With boost_watermark() suppressed, the capture kernel can run successfully in 448M. This patch limits boost_watermark() to boosting a zone's min watermark only when there are enough pages that the boost will produce positive results. In this case that is estimated to be four times as many pages as pageblock_nr_pages. Mel said: : There is no harm in marking it stable. Clearly it does not happen very : often but it's not impossible. 32-bit x86 is a lot less common now : which would previously have been vulnerable to triggering this easily. : ppc64 has a larger base page size but typically only has one zone. : arm64 is likely the most vulnerable, particularly when CMA is : configured with a small movable zone.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.

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: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.

mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside! First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of pageblocks. Under some conditions, we try to move upto 'pageblock_nr_pages' no. of pages to the preferred allocation list. But we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set). However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the 'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not. So, the page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e., 'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0). So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to the right place. But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype' variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()". Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is MIGRATE_CMA!! To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA. So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug.

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().

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance.

Nevertheless, the possibility exists and so it's best to avoid the problem. This patch flags a zone as needing a kswapd using the, surprisingly, unused zone flag field. The flag is read without the lock held to do the wakeup. It's possible that the flag setting context is not the same as the flag clearing context or for small races to occur. However, each race possibility is harmless and there is no visible degredation in fragmentation treatment. While zone->flag could have continued to be unused, there is potential for moving some existing fields into the flags field instead. Particularly read-mostly ones like zone->initialized and zone->contiguous.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.

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().

In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm/compaction: enhance compaction finish condition Compaction has anti fragmentation algorithm. It is that freepage should be more than pageblock order to finish the compaction if we don't find any freepage in requested migratetype buddy list. This is for mitigating fragmentation, but, there is a lack of migratetype consideration and it is too excessive compared to page allocator's anti fragmentation algorithm. Not considering migratetype would cause premature finish of compaction. For example, if allocation request is for unmovable migratetype, freepage with CMA migratetype doesn't help that allocation and compaction should not be stopped. But, current logic regards this situation as compaction is no longer needed, so finish the compaction. Secondly, condition is too excessive compared to page allocator's logic. We can steal freepage from other migratetype and change pageblock migratetype on more relaxed conditions in page allocator. This is designed to prevent fragmentation and we can use it here. Imposing hard constraint only to the compaction doesn't help much in this case since page allocator would cause fragmentation again. To solve these problems, this patch borrows anti fragmentation logic from page allocator. It will reduce premature compaction finish in some cases and reduce excessive compaction work. stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows considerable increase of compaction success rate. Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %) 31.82 : 42.20 I tested it on non-reboot 5 runs stress-highalloc benchmark and found that there is no more degradation on allocation success rate than before. That roughly means that this patch doesn't result in more fragmentations. Vlastimil suggests additional idea that we only test for fallbacks when migration scanner has scanned a whole pageblock. It looked good for fragmentation because chance of stealing increase due to making more free pages in certain pageblock. So, I tested it, but, it results in decreased compaction success rate, roughly 38.00. I guess the reason that if system is low memory condition, watermark check could be failed due to not enough order 0 free page and so, sometimes, we can't reach a fallback check although migrate_pfn is aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. I can insert code to cope with this situation but it makes code more complicated so I don't include his idea at this patch.

mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside! First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of pageblocks. Under some conditions, we try to move upto 'pageblock_nr_pages' no. of pages to the preferred allocation list. But we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set). However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the 'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not. So, the page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e., 'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0). So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to the right place. But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype' variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()". Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is MIGRATE_CMA!! To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA. So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug. And while at it, also add a comment explaining the subtlety behind the migratetype used in the call to expand().

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: 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.

This patch introduces MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC that reserves pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand and avoids using those blocks for order-0 allocations.

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.

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. 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?

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: 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: 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, 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: 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().

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1.

The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

mm, page_alloc: fallback to smallest page when not stealing whole pageblock Since commit 3bc48f96cf11 ("mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback") we pick the smallest (but sufficient) page of all that have been stolen from a pageblock of different migratetype. However, there are cases when we decide not to steal the whole pageblock. Practically in the current implementation it means that we are trying to fallback for a MIGRATE_MOVABLE allocation of order X, go through the freelists from MAX_ORDER-1 down to X, and find free page of order Y. If Y is less than pageblock_order / 2, we decide not to steal all pages from the pageblock. When Y > X, it means we are potentially splitting a larger page than we need, as there might be other pages of order Z, where X <= Z < Y. Since Y is already too small to steal whole pageblock, picking smallest available Z will result in the same decision and we avoid splitting a higher-order page in a MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE or MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE pageblock. This patch therefore changes the fallback algorithm so that in the situation described above, we switch the fallback search strategy to go from order X upwards to find the smallest suitable fallback. In theory there shouldn't be a downside of this change wrt fragmentation. This has been tested with mmtests' stress-highalloc performing GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, here is the relevant extfrag tracepoint statistics: 4.12.0-rc2 4.12.0-rc2 1-kernel4 2-kernel4 Page alloc extfrag event 25640976 69680977 Extfrag fragmenting 25621086 69661364 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 74409 73204 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 69003 67684 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim. 5406 5520 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 6398 8467 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 869 884 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov. 5529 7583 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 25540279 69579693 Since we force movable allocations to steal the smallest available page (which we then practially always split), we steal less per fallback, so the number of fallbacks increases and steals potentially happen from different pageblocks. This is however not an issue for movable pages that can be compacted. Importantly, the "unmovable placed with movable" statistics is lower, which is the result of less fragmentation in the unmovable pageblocks. The effect on reclaimable allocation is a bit unclear.

mm/compaction: enhance compaction finish condition Compaction has anti fragmentation algorithm. It is that freepage should be more than pageblock order to finish the compaction if we don't find any freepage in requested migratetype buddy list. This is for mitigating fragmentation, but, there is a lack of migratetype consideration and it is too excessive compared to page allocator's anti fragmentation algorithm. Not considering migratetype would cause premature finish of compaction. For example, if allocation request is for unmovable migratetype, freepage with CMA migratetype doesn't help that allocation and compaction should not be stopped. But, current logic regards this situation as compaction is no longer needed, so finish the compaction. Secondly, condition is too excessive compared to page allocator's logic. We can steal freepage from other migratetype and change pageblock migratetype on more relaxed conditions in page allocator. This is designed to prevent fragmentation and we can use it here. Imposing hard constraint only to the compaction doesn't help much in this case since page allocator would cause fragmentation again. To solve these problems, this patch borrows anti fragmentation logic from page allocator. It will reduce premature compaction finish in some cases and reduce excessive compaction work. stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows considerable increase of compaction success rate. Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %) 31.82 : 42.20 I tested it on non-reboot 5 runs stress-highalloc benchmark and found that there is no more degradation on allocation success rate than before. That roughly means that this patch doesn't result in more fragmentations. Vlastimil suggests additional idea that we only test for fallbacks when migration scanner has scanned a whole pageblock. It looked good for fragmentation because chance of stealing increase due to making more free pages in certain pageblock. So, I tested it, but, it results in decreased compaction success rate, roughly 38.00. I guess the reason that if system is low memory condition, watermark check could be failed due to not enough order 0 free page and so, sometimes, we can't reach a fallback check although migrate_pfn is aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. I can insert code to cope with this situation but it makes code more complicated so I don't include his idea at this patch.

mm, page_alloc: fallback to smallest page when not stealing whole pageblock Since commit 3bc48f96cf11 ("mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback") we pick the smallest (but sufficient) page of all that have been stolen from a pageblock of different migratetype. However, there are cases when we decide not to steal the whole pageblock. Practically in the current implementation it means that we are trying to fallback for a MIGRATE_MOVABLE allocation of order X, go through the freelists from MAX_ORDER-1 down to X, and find free page of order Y. If Y is less than pageblock_order / 2, we decide not to steal all pages from the pageblock. When Y > X, it means we are potentially splitting a larger page than we need, as there might be other pages of order Z, where X <= Z < Y. Since Y is already too small to steal whole pageblock, picking smallest available Z will result in the same decision and we avoid splitting a higher-order page in a MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE or MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE pageblock. This patch therefore changes the fallback algorithm so that in the situation described above, we switch the fallback search strategy to go from order X upwards to find the smallest suitable fallback. In theory there shouldn't be a downside of this change wrt fragmentation. This has been tested with mmtests' stress-highalloc performing GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, here is the relevant extfrag tracepoint statistics: 4.12.0-rc2 4.12.0-rc2 1-kernel4 2-kernel4 Page alloc extfrag event 25640976 69680977 Extfrag fragmenting 25621086 69661364 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 74409 73204 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 69003 67684 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim. 5406 5520 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 6398 8467 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 869 884 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov. 5529 7583 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 25540279 69579693 Since we force movable allocations to steal the smallest available page (which we then practially always split), we steal less per fallback, so the number of fallbacks increases and steals potentially happen from different pageblocks.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

steal_suitable_fallback(zone, page, alloc_flags, start_migratetype,
can_steal);
mm, page_alloc: fallback to smallest page when not stealing whole pageblock Since commit 3bc48f96cf11 ("mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback") we pick the smallest (but sufficient) page of all that have been stolen from a pageblock of different migratetype. However, there are cases when we decide not to steal the whole pageblock. Practically in the current implementation it means that we are trying to fallback for a MIGRATE_MOVABLE allocation of order X, go through the freelists from MAX_ORDER-1 down to X, and find free page of order Y. If Y is less than pageblock_order / 2, we decide not to steal all pages from the pageblock. When Y > X, it means we are potentially splitting a larger page than we need, as there might be other pages of order Z, where X <= Z < Y. Since Y is already too small to steal whole pageblock, picking smallest available Z will result in the same decision and we avoid splitting a higher-order page in a MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE or MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE pageblock. This patch therefore changes the fallback algorithm so that in the situation described above, we switch the fallback search strategy to go from order X upwards to find the smallest suitable fallback. In theory there shouldn't be a downside of this change wrt fragmentation. This has been tested with mmtests' stress-highalloc performing GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, here is the relevant extfrag tracepoint statistics: 4.12.0-rc2 4.12.0-rc2 1-kernel4 2-kernel4 Page alloc extfrag event 25640976 69680977 Extfrag fragmenting 25621086 69661364 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 74409 73204 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 69003 67684 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim. 5406 5520 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 6398 8467 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 869 884 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov. 5529 7583 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 25540279 69579693 Since we force movable allocations to steal the smallest available page (which we then practially always split), we steal less per fallback, so the number of fallbacks increases and steals potentially happen from different pageblocks. This is however not an issue for movable pages that can be compacted. Importantly, the "unmovable placed with movable" statistics is lower, which is the result of less fragmentation in the unmovable pageblocks. The effect on reclaimable allocation is a bit unclear.

Bias the location of pages freed for min_free_kbytes in the same MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks The standard buddy allocator always favours the smallest block of pages. The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends to be preserved since boot time at the same location of memory ffor a very long time and as a contiguous block. When an administrator sets the reserve at 16384 at boot time, it tends to be the same MAX_ORDER blocks that remain free. This allows the occasional high atomic allocation to succeed up until the point the blocks are split. In practice, it is difficult to split these blocks but when they do split, the benefit of having min_free_kbytes for contiguous blocks disappears. Additionally, increasing min_free_kbytes once the system has been running for some time has no guarantee of creating contiguous blocks. On the other hand, CONFIG_PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY favours splitting large blocks when there are no free pages of the appropriate type available. A side-effect of this is that all blocks in memory tends to be used up and the contiguous free blocks from boot time are not preserved like in the vanilla allocator. This can cause a problem if a new caller is unwilling to reclaim or does not reclaim for long enough. A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC. This was reproduced on a desktop by booting with mem=256mb, forcing the driver to allocate at order-1, running a bittorrent client (downloading a debian ISO) and building a kernel with -j2. This patch addresses the problem on the desktop machine booted with mem=256mb. It works by setting aside a reserve of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks, the number of which depends on the value of min_free_kbytes. These blocks are only fallen back to when there is no other free pages. Then the smallest possible page is used just like the normal buddy allocator instead of the largest possible page to preserve contiguous pages The pages in free lists in the reserve blocks are never taken for another migrate type. The results is that even if min_free_kbytes is set to a low value, contiguous blocks will be preserved in the MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks. This works better than the vanilla allocator because if min_free_kbytes is increased, a new reserve block will be chosen based on the location of reclaimable pages and the block will free up as contiguous pages. In the vanilla allocator, no effort is made to target a block of pages to free as contiguous pages and min_free_kbytes pages are scattered randomly. This effect has been observed on the test machine. min_free_kbytes was set initially low but it was kept as a contiguous free block within MIGRATE_RESERVE. min_free_kbytes was then set to a higher value and over a period of time, the free blocks were within the reserve and coalescing. How long it takes to free up depends on how quickly LRU is rotating. Amusingly, this means that more activity will free the blocks faster. This mechanism potentially replaces MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC as it may be more effective than grouping contiguous free pages together. It all depends on whether the number of active atomic high allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes or not. If the number of active allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes, it's worth it but maybe in that situation, min_free_kbytes should be set higher. Once there are no more reports of allocation failures, a patch will be submitted that backs out MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC and see if the reports stay missing.

mm/page_alloc: make sure __rmqueue() etc are always inline __rmqueue(), __rmqueue_fallback(), __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_cma_fallback() are all in page allocator's hot path and better be finished as soon as possible. One way to make them faster is by making them inline. But as Andrew Morton and Andi Kleen pointed out: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1252 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1279 To make sure they are inlined, we should use __always_inline for them.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

The allocation success rate is high enough that the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

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().

Bias the location of pages freed for min_free_kbytes in the same MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks The standard buddy allocator always favours the smallest block of pages. The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends to be preserved since boot time at the same location of memory ffor a very long time and as a contiguous block. When an administrator sets the reserve at 16384 at boot time, it tends to be the same MAX_ORDER blocks that remain free. This allows the occasional high atomic allocation to succeed up until the point the blocks are split. In practice, it is difficult to split these blocks but when they do split, the benefit of having min_free_kbytes for contiguous blocks disappears. Additionally, increasing min_free_kbytes once the system has been running for some time has no guarantee of creating contiguous blocks. On the other hand, CONFIG_PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY favours splitting large blocks when there are no free pages of the appropriate type available. A side-effect of this is that all blocks in memory tends to be used up and the contiguous free blocks from boot time are not preserved like in the vanilla allocator. This can cause a problem if a new caller is unwilling to reclaim or does not reclaim for long enough. A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC. This was reproduced on a desktop by booting with mem=256mb, forcing the driver to allocate at order-1, running a bittorrent client (downloading a debian ISO) and building a kernel with -j2. This patch addresses the problem on the desktop machine booted with mem=256mb. It works by setting aside a reserve of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES blocks, the number of which depends on the value of min_free_kbytes. These blocks are only fallen back to when there is no other free pages. Then the smallest possible page is used just like the normal buddy allocator instead of the largest possible page to preserve contiguous pages The pages in free lists in the reserve blocks are never taken for another migrate type. The results is that even if min_free_kbytes is set to a low value, contiguous blocks will be preserved in the MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks. This works better than the vanilla allocator because if min_free_kbytes is increased, a new reserve block will be chosen based on the location of reclaimable pages and the block will free up as contiguous pages. In the vanilla allocator, no effort is made to target a block of pages to free as contiguous pages and min_free_kbytes pages are scattered randomly. This effect has been observed on the test machine. min_free_kbytes was set initially low but it was kept as a contiguous free block within MIGRATE_RESERVE. min_free_kbytes was then set to a higher value and over a period of time, the free blocks were within the reserve and coalescing. How long it takes to free up depends on how quickly LRU is rotating. Amusingly, this means that more activity will free the blocks faster. This mechanism potentially replaces MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC as it may be more effective than grouping contiguous free pages together. It all depends on whether the number of active atomic high allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes or not. If the number of active allocations exceeds min_free_kbytes, it's worth it but maybe in that situation, min_free_kbytes should be set higher. Once there are no more reports of allocation failures, a patch will be submitted that backs out MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC and see if the reports stay missing.

mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However, there are two problems of this implementation. First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath, original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be allocated through the allocation fastpath even if memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual problem. Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target. To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude CMA area in page allocation. Main point of this change is using the alloc_flags. alloc_flags is mainly used to control allocation so it fits for excluding CMA area in allocation.

mm/cma: change fallback behaviour for CMA freepage Freepage with MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE and they should not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list to protect them from unmovable/reclaimable allocation. Implementing these requirements in __rmqueue_fallback(), that is, finding largest possible block of freepage has bad effect that high order freepage with MIGRATE_CMA are broken continually although there are suitable order CMA freepage. Reason is that they are not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list and next __rmqueue_fallback() invocation try to finds another largest block of freepage and break it again. So, MIGRATE_CMA fallback should be handled separately. This patch introduces __rmqueue_cma_fallback(), that just wrapper of __rmqueue_smallest() and call it before __rmqueue_fallback() if migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE. This results in unintended behaviour change that MIGRATE_CMA freepage is always used first rather than other migratetype as movable allocation's fallback. But, as already mentioned above, MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it is better to use MIGRATE_CMA freepage first as much as possible. Otherwise, we needlessly take up precious freepages with other migratetype and increase chance of fragmentation.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in the future.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

The allocation success rate is high enough that the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

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().

Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them.

unsigned long flags;
mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

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_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

[PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split the locking there. No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats, it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following. (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz) ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size Baseline Patched 1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%) 2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%) 3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%) 4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%) 8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%) 16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%) 32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%) 64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%) 128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%) While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT tree into mainline. This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 968318261221 ("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline"). David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them. To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any pcplist addition will be immediately flushed. The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on pcplists in zones where isolation happens. This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages. Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split the locking there. No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats, it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following. (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz) ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size Baseline Patched 1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%) 2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%) 3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%) 4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%) 8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%) 16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%) 32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%) 64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%) 128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%) While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT tree into mainline. This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 968318261221 ("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline"). David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them. To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any pcplist addition will be immediately flushed. The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on pcplists in zones where isolation happens. This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages. Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they exist Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they actually have pages when asked to flush. This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple, possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them). This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to ACK the IPI takes a long time. Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next patch in the series and using proc/interrupts.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split the locking there. No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats, it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following. (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz) ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size Baseline Patched 1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%) 2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%) 3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%) 4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%) 8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%) 16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%) 32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%) 64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%) 128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%) While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT tree into mainline. This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm/page_alloc: remotely drain per-cpu lists Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, are too busy to handle the per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). So introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. A benefit of this new scheme is that drain operations are now migration safe. There was no observed performance degradation vs. the previous scheme. Both netperf and hackbench were run in parallel to triggering the __drain_all_pages(NULL, true) code path around ~100 times per second. The new scheme performs a bit better (~5%), although the important point here is there are no performance regressions vs. the previous mechanism. Per-cpu lists draining happens only in slow paths. Minchan Kim tested an earlier version and reported; My workload is not NOHZ CPUs but run apps under heavy memory pressure so they goes to direct reclaim and be stuck on drain_all_pages until work on workqueue run. unit: nanosecond max(dur) avg(dur) count(dur) 166713013 487511.77786438033 1283 From traces, system encountered the drain_all_pages 1283 times and worst case was 166ms and avg was 487us. The other problem was alloc_contig_range in CMA. The PCP draining takes several hundred millisecond sometimes though there is no memory pressure or a few of pages to be migrated out but CPU were fully booked. Your patch perfectly removed those wasted time.

mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 968318261221 ("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline"). David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them. To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any pcplist addition will be immediately flushed. The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on pcplists in zones where isolation happens. This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages. Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type The following two patches remove searching in the page allocator fast-path by maintaining multiple free-lists in the per-cpu structure. At the time the search was introduced, increasing the per-cpu structures would waste a lot of memory as per-cpu structures were statically allocated at compile-time. This is no longer the case. The patches are as follows. They are based on mmotm-2009-08-27. Patch 1 adds multiple lists to struct per_cpu_pages, one per migratetype that can be stored on the PCP lists. Patch 2 notes that the pcpu drain path check empty lists multiple times. The patch reduces the number of checks by maintaining a count of free lists encountered. Lists containing pages will then free multiple pages in batch The patches were tested with kernbench, netperf udp/tcp, hackbench and sysbench. The netperf tests were not bound to any CPU in particular and were run such that the results should be 99% confidence that the reported results are within 1% of the estimated mean. sysbench was run with a postgres background and read-only tests. Similar to netperf, it was run multiple times so that it's 99% confidence results are within 1%. The patches were tested on x86, x86-64 and ppc64 as x86: Intel Pentium D 3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.34% to 2.28% gain netperf-tcp - 0.45% to 1.22% gain hackbench - Small variances, very close to noise sysbench - Very small gains x86-64: AMD Phenom 9950 1.3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.83% to 10.42% gains netperf-tcp - No conclusive until buffer >= PAGE_SIZE 4096 +15.83% 8192 + 0.34% (not significant) 16384 + 1% hackbench - Small gains, very close to noise sysbench - 0.79% to 1.6% gain ppc64: PPC970MP 2.5GHz with 10GB RAM (it's a terrasoft powerstation) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 2-3% gain for almost all buffer sizes tested netperf-tcp - losses on small buffers, gains on larger buffers possibly indicates some bad caching effect. hackbench - No significant difference sysbench - 2-4% gain This patch: Currently the per-cpu page allocator searches the PCP list for pages of the correct migrate-type to reduce the possibility of pages being inappropriate placed from a fragmentation perspective. This search is potentially expensive in a fast-path and undesirable. Splitting the per-cpu list into multiple lists increases the size of a per-cpu structure and this was potentially a major problem at the time the search was introduced. These problem has been mitigated as now only the necessary number of structures is allocated for the running system. This patch replaces a list search in the per-cpu allocator with one list per migrate type. The potential snag with this approach is when bulk freeing pages. We round-robin free pages based on migrate type which has little bearing on the cache hotness of the page and potentially checks empty lists repeatedly in the event the majority of PCP pages are of one type.

The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact.

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: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

/* Free as much as possible if batch freeing high-order pages. */
mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another resulting in colder pages being used.

if (unlikely(free_high))
mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

Using perf kmem:mm_page_alloc, the 5 most used page frames were 5.17-rc3 13041 pfn=0x111a30 13081 pfn=0x5814d0 13097 pfn=0x108258 13121 pfn=0x689598 13128 pfn=0x5814d8 5.17-revert-highpcp 192009 pfn=0x54c140 195426 pfn=0x1081d0 200908 pfn=0x61c808 243515 pfn=0xa9dc20 402523 pfn=0x222bb8 5.17-full-series 142693 pfn=0x346208 162227 pfn=0x13bf08 166413 pfn=0x2711e0 166950 pfn=0x2702f8 The spread is wider as there is still time before pages freed to one PCP get released with a tradeoff between fast reuse and reduced zone lock acquisition.

mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused by too large PCP. The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the overhead in hotter freeing path.

mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused by too large PCP. The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the overhead in hotter freeing path.

mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example, in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some network workloads. To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can detect consecutive page freeing much earlier. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact. The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie delete options, the main comparison is bonnie 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 jan-v2 vanilla mel-v2 Hmean SeqCreate ops 76.20 ( 0.00%) 75.80 ( -0.53%) 76.80 ( 0.79%) Hmean SeqCreate read 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) Hmean SeqCreate del 13752.31 ( 0.00%) 12090.23 ( -12.09%) 15304.84 ( 11.29%) Hmean RandCreate ops 76.00 ( 0.00%) 75.60 ( -0.53%) 77.00 ( 1.32%) Hmean RandCreate read 96.80 ( 0.00%) 96.80 ( 0.00%) 97.00 ( 0.21%) Hmean RandCreate del 13233.75 ( 0.00%) 11525.35 ( -12.91%) 14446.61 ( 9.16%) Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where as this series on top gains another 11%.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations.

mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit Patch series "mm: PCP high auto-tuning", v3. The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are often different. So, we need to tune the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) high on each CPU automatically to optimize the page allocation performance. The list of patches in series is as follows, [1/9] mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit [2/9] cacheinfo: calculate per-CPU data cache size [3/9] mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages [4/9] mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency [5/9] mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated [6/9] mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning [7/9] mm: tune PCP high automatically [8/9] mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark [9/9] mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing Patch [1/9], [2/9], [3/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high-order pages freeing. Patch [4/9], [5/9] optimize batch freeing and allocating. Patch [6/9], [7/9], [8/9] implement and optimize a PCP high auto-tuning method. Patch [9/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high order page freeing based on PCP high auto-tuning. The test results for patches with performance impact are as follows, kbuild ====== On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. build time lock contend% free_high alloc_zone ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- base 100.0 14.0 100.0 100.0 patch1 99.5 12.8 19.5 95.6 patch3 99.4 12.6 7.1 95.6 patch5 98.6 11.0 8.1 97.1 patch7 95.1 0.5 2.8 15.6 patch9 95.0 1.0 8.8 20.0 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9], [3/9]) and PCP batch allocation optimization (patch [5/9]) reduces zone lock contention a little. The PCP high auto-tuning (patch [7/9], [9/9]) reduces build time visibly. Where the tuning target: the number of pages allocated from zone reduces greatly. So, the zone contention cycles% reduces greatly. With PCP tuning patches (patch [7/9], [9/9]), the average used memory during test increases up to 18.4% because more pages are cached in PCP. But at the end of the test, the number of the used memory decreases to the same level as that of the base patch.

The PCP tuning (patch [7/9]) reduces performance a little because PCP draining cannot be triggered in time sometimes. The further PCP draining optimization (patch [9/9]) based on PCP tuning restores the performance partly. The patchset adds several fields in struct per_cpu_pages. The struct layout before/after the patchset is as follows, base ==== struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); patched ======= struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int high_min; /* 12 4 */ int high_max; /* 16 4 */ int batch; /* 20 4 */ u8 flags; /* 24 1 */ u8 alloc_factor; /* 25 1 */ u8 expire; /* 26 1 */ /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */ short int free_count; /* 28 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 32 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 11 */ /* sum members: 237, holes: 2, sum holes: 3 */ /* padding: 16 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); The size of the struct doesn't changed with the patchset. This patch (of 9): In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocation and freeing CPUs. But, the PCP draining mechanism may be triggered unexpectedly when process exits. With some customized trace point, it was found that PCP draining (free_high == true) was triggered with the order-1 page freeing with the following call stack, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page => __mmdrop => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 Checking the source code, this is the page table PGD freeing (mm_free_pgd()). It's a order-1 page freeing if CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y. Which is a common configuration for security. Just before that, page freeing with the following call stack was found, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page_list => release_pages => tlb_batch_pages_flush => tlb_finish_mmu => exit_mmap => __mmput => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 So, when a process exits, - a large number of user pages of the process will be freed without page allocation, it's highly possible that pcp->free_factor becomes > 0. In fact, this is expected behavior to improve process exit performance. - after freeing all user pages, the PGD will be freed, which is a order-1 page freeing, PCP will be drained. All in all, when a process exits, it's high possible that the PCP will be drained. This is an unexpected behavior. To avoid this, in the patch, the PCP draining will only be triggered for 2 consecutive high-order page freeing. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 14.0% to 12.8% (with PCP size == 367). The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 80.5%. This helps network workload too for reduced zone lock contention. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 16.8%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 51.4% to 46.1%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 30.5%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact. The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie delete options, the main comparison is bonnie 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 jan-v2 vanilla mel-v2 Hmean SeqCreate ops 76.20 ( 0.00%) 75.80 ( -0.53%) 76.80 ( 0.79%) Hmean SeqCreate read 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) Hmean SeqCreate del 13752.31 ( 0.00%) 12090.23 ( -12.09%) 15304.84 ( 11.29%) Hmean RandCreate ops 76.00 ( 0.00%) 75.60 ( -0.53%) 77.00 ( 1.32%) Hmean RandCreate read 96.80 ( 0.00%) 96.80 ( 0.00%) 97.00 ( 0.21%) Hmean RandCreate del 13233.75 ( 0.00%) 11525.35 ( -12.91%) 14446.61 ( 9.16%) Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where as this series on top gains another 11%.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed.

mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another resulting in colder pages being used. When bulk freeing pages, limit the number of high-order pages that are stored on the PCP lists. Netperf running on localhost exhibits this pattern and while it does not matter for some machines, it does matter for others with smaller caches where cache misses cause problems due to reduced page reuse.

mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another resulting in colder pages being used. When bulk freeing pages, limit the number of high-order pages that are stored on the PCP lists. Netperf running on localhost exhibits this pattern and while it does not matter for some machines, it does matter for others with smaller caches where cache misses cause problems due to reduced page reuse.

mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit Patch series "mm: PCP high auto-tuning", v3. The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are often different. So, we need to tune the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) high on each CPU automatically to optimize the page allocation performance. The list of patches in series is as follows, [1/9] mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit [2/9] cacheinfo: calculate per-CPU data cache size [3/9] mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages [4/9] mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency [5/9] mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated [6/9] mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning [7/9] mm: tune PCP high automatically [8/9] mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark [9/9] mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing Patch [1/9], [2/9], [3/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high-order pages freeing. Patch [4/9], [5/9] optimize batch freeing and allocating. Patch [6/9], [7/9], [8/9] implement and optimize a PCP high auto-tuning method. Patch [9/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high order page freeing based on PCP high auto-tuning. The test results for patches with performance impact are as follows, kbuild ====== On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup.

The PCP high auto-tuning (patch [7/9], [9/9]) reduces build time visibly. Where the tuning target: the number of pages allocated from zone reduces greatly. So, the zone contention cycles% reduces greatly. With PCP tuning patches (patch [7/9], [9/9]), the average used memory during test increases up to 18.4% because more pages are cached in PCP. But at the end of the test, the number of the used memory decreases to the same level as that of the base patch. That is, the pages cached in PCP will be released to zone after not being used actively. netperf SCTP_STREAM_MANY ======================== On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. score lock contend% free_high alloc_zone cache miss rate% ----- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------------- base 100.0 2.1 100.0 100.0 1.3 patch1 99.4 2.1 99.4 99.4 1.3 patch3 106.4 1.3 13.3 106.3 1.3 patch5 106.0 1.2 13.2 105.9 1.3 patch7 103.4 1.9 6.7 90.3 7.6 patch9 108.6 1.3 13.7 108.6 1.3 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9]+[3/9]) improves performance.

The PCP tuning (patch [7/9]) reduces performance a little because PCP draining cannot be triggered in time sometimes. The further PCP draining optimization (patch [9/9]) based on PCP tuning restores the performance partly. The patchset adds several fields in struct per_cpu_pages. The struct layout before/after the patchset is as follows, base ==== struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); patched ======= struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int high_min; /* 12 4 */ int high_max; /* 16 4 */ int batch; /* 20 4 */ u8 flags; /* 24 1 */ u8 alloc_factor; /* 25 1 */ u8 expire; /* 26 1 */ /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */ short int free_count; /* 28 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 32 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 11 */ /* sum members: 237, holes: 2, sum holes: 3 */ /* padding: 16 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); The size of the struct doesn't changed with the patchset. This patch (of 9): In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocation and freeing CPUs. But, the PCP draining mechanism may be triggered unexpectedly when process exits. With some customized trace point, it was found that PCP draining (free_high == true) was triggered with the order-1 page freeing with the following call stack, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page => __mmdrop => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 Checking the source code, this is the page table PGD freeing (mm_free_pgd()). It's a order-1 page freeing if CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y. Which is a common configuration for security. Just before that, page freeing with the following call stack was found, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page_list => release_pages => tlb_batch_pages_flush => tlb_finish_mmu => exit_mmap => __mmput => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 So, when a process exits, - a large number of user pages of the process will be freed without page allocation, it's highly possible that pcp->free_factor becomes > 0. In fact, this is expected behavior to improve process exit performance. - after freeing all user pages, the PGD will be freed, which is a order-1 page freeing, PCP will be drained. All in all, when a process exits, it's high possible that the PCP will be drained. This is an unexpected behavior. To avoid this, in the patch, the PCP draining will only be triggered for 2 consecutive high-order page freeing. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 14.0% to 12.8% (with PCP size == 367). The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 80.5%. This helps network workload too for reduced zone lock contention. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 16.8%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 51.4% to 46.1%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 30.5%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example, in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some network workloads. To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can detect consecutive page freeing much earlier. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocating and freeing CPUs. On system with small per-CPU data cache slice, pages shouldn't be cached before draining to guarantee cache-hot. But on a system with large per-CPU data cache slice, some pages can be cached before draining to reduce zone lock contention. So, in this patch, instead of draining without any caching, "pcp->batch" pages will be cached in PCP before draining if the size of the per-CPU data cache slice is more than "3 * batch". In theory, if the size of per-CPU data cache slice is more than "2 * batch", we can reuse cache-hot pages between CPUs. But considering the other usage of cache (code, other data accessing, etc.), "3 * batch" is used. Note: "3 * batch" is chosen to make sure the optimization works on recent x86_64 server CPUs. If you want to increase it, please check whether it breaks the optimization. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 70.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 46.1% to 21.3%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 89.9%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit Patch series "mm: PCP high auto-tuning", v3. The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are often different. So, we need to tune the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) high on each CPU automatically to optimize the page allocation performance. The list of patches in series is as follows, [1/9] mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit [2/9] cacheinfo: calculate per-CPU data cache size [3/9] mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages [4/9] mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency [5/9] mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated [6/9] mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning [7/9] mm: tune PCP high automatically [8/9] mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark [9/9] mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing Patch [1/9], [2/9], [3/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high-order pages freeing. Patch [4/9], [5/9] optimize batch freeing and allocating. Patch [6/9], [7/9], [8/9] implement and optimize a PCP high auto-tuning method. Patch [9/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high order page freeing based on PCP high auto-tuning. The test results for patches with performance impact are as follows, kbuild ====== On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. build time lock contend% free_high alloc_zone ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- base 100.0 14.0 100.0 100.0 patch1 99.5 12.8 19.5 95.6 patch3 99.4 12.6 7.1 95.6 patch5 98.6 11.0 8.1 97.1 patch7 95.1 0.5 2.8 15.6 patch9 95.0 1.0 8.8 20.0 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9], [3/9]) and PCP batch allocation optimization (patch [5/9]) reduces zone lock contention a little. The PCP high auto-tuning (patch [7/9], [9/9]) reduces build time visibly. Where the tuning target: the number of pages allocated from zone reduces greatly. So, the zone contention cycles% reduces greatly. With PCP tuning patches (patch [7/9], [9/9]), the average used memory during test increases up to 18.4% because more pages are cached in PCP. But at the end of the test, the number of the used memory decreases to the same level as that of the base patch. That is, the pages cached in PCP will be released to zone after not being used actively. netperf SCTP_STREAM_MANY ======================== On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. score lock contend% free_high alloc_zone cache miss rate% ----- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------------- base 100.0 2.1 100.0 100.0 1.3 patch1 99.4 2.1 99.4 99.4 1.3 patch3 106.4 1.3 13.3 106.3 1.3 patch5 106.0 1.2 13.2 105.9 1.3 patch7 103.4 1.9 6.7 90.3 7.6 patch9 108.6 1.3 13.7 108.6 1.3 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9]+[3/9]) improves performance.

The further PCP draining optimization (patch [9/9]) based on PCP tuning restore the performance. lmbench3 UNIX (AF_UNIX) ======================= On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested UNIX (AF_UNIX socket) test case of lmbench3 test suite with 16-pair processes. score lock contend% free_high alloc_zone cache miss rate% ----- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------------- base 100.0 51.4 100.0 100.0 0.2 patch1 116.8 46.1 69.5 104.3 0.2 patch3 199.1 21.3 7.0 104.9 0.2 patch5 200.0 20.8 7.1 106.9 0.3 patch7 191.6 19.9 6.8 103.8 2.8 patch9 193.4 21.7 7.0 104.7 2.1 The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9], [3/9]) improves performance much. The PCP tuning (patch [7/9]) reduces performance a little because PCP draining cannot be triggered in time sometimes. The further PCP draining optimization (patch [9/9]) based on PCP tuning restores the performance partly. The patchset adds several fields in struct per_cpu_pages. The struct layout before/after the patchset is as follows, base ==== struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); patched ======= struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int high_min; /* 12 4 */ int high_max; /* 16 4 */ int batch; /* 20 4 */ u8 flags; /* 24 1 */ u8 alloc_factor; /* 25 1 */ u8 expire; /* 26 1 */ /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */ short int free_count; /* 28 2 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 32 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 11 */ /* sum members: 237, holes: 2, sum holes: 3 */ /* padding: 16 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); The size of the struct doesn't changed with the patchset. This patch (of 9): In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocation and freeing CPUs. But, the PCP draining mechanism may be triggered unexpectedly when process exits. With some customized trace point, it was found that PCP draining (free_high == true) was triggered with the order-1 page freeing with the following call stack, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page => __mmdrop => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 Checking the source code, this is the page table PGD freeing (mm_free_pgd()). It's a order-1 page freeing if CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y. Which is a common configuration for security. Just before that, page freeing with the following call stack was found, => free_unref_page_commit => free_unref_page_list => release_pages => tlb_batch_pages_flush => tlb_finish_mmu => exit_mmap => __mmput => exit_mm => do_exit => do_group_exit => __x64_sys_exit_group => do_syscall_64 So, when a process exits, - a large number of user pages of the process will be freed without page allocation, it's highly possible that pcp->free_factor becomes > 0. In fact, this is expected behavior to improve process exit performance. - after freeing all user pages, the PGD will be freed, which is a order-1 page freeing, PCP will be drained. All in all, when a process exits, it's high possible that the PCP will be drained. This is an unexpected behavior. To avoid this, in the patch, the PCP draining will only be triggered for 2 consecutive high-order page freeing. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 14.0% to 12.8% (with PCP size == 367). The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 80.5%. This helps network workload too for reduced zone lock contention. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 16.8%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 51.4% to 46.1%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 30.5%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example, in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some network workloads. To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can detect consecutive page freeing much earlier. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused by too large PCP. The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the overhead in hotter freeing path.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact.

page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type The following two patches remove searching in the page allocator fast-path by maintaining multiple free-lists in the per-cpu structure. At the time the search was introduced, increasing the per-cpu structures would waste a lot of memory as per-cpu structures were statically allocated at compile-time. This is no longer the case. The patches are as follows. They are based on mmotm-2009-08-27. Patch 1 adds multiple lists to struct per_cpu_pages, one per migratetype that can be stored on the PCP lists. Patch 2 notes that the pcpu drain path check empty lists multiple times. The patch reduces the number of checks by maintaining a count of free lists encountered. Lists containing pages will then free multiple pages in batch The patches were tested with kernbench, netperf udp/tcp, hackbench and sysbench. The netperf tests were not bound to any CPU in particular and were run such that the results should be 99% confidence that the reported results are within 1% of the estimated mean. sysbench was run with a postgres background and read-only tests. Similar to netperf, it was run multiple times so that it's 99% confidence results are within 1%. The patches were tested on x86, x86-64 and ppc64 as x86: Intel Pentium D 3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.34% to 2.28% gain netperf-tcp - 0.45% to 1.22% gain hackbench - Small variances, very close to noise sysbench - Very small gains x86-64: AMD Phenom 9950 1.3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 1.83% to 10.42% gains netperf-tcp - No conclusive until buffer >= PAGE_SIZE 4096 +15.83% 8192 + 0.34% (not significant) 16384 + 1% hackbench - Small gains, very close to noise sysbench - 0.79% to 1.6% gain ppc64: PPC970MP 2.5GHz with 10GB RAM (it's a terrasoft powerstation) kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise netperf-udp - 2-3% gain for almost all buffer sizes tested netperf-tcp - losses on small buffers, gains on larger buffers possibly indicates some bad caching effect. hackbench - No significant difference sysbench - 2-4% gain This patch: Currently the per-cpu page allocator searches the PCP list for pages of the correct migrate-type to reduce the possibility of pages being inappropriate placed from a fragmentation perspective. This search is potentially expensive in a fast-path and undesirable. Splitting the per-cpu list into multiple lists increases the size of a per-cpu structure and this was potentially a major problem at the time the search was introduced. These problem has been mitigated as now only the necessary number of structures is allocated for the running system. This patch replaces a list search in the per-cpu allocator with one list per migrate type. The potential snag with this approach is when bulk freeing pages. We round-robin free pages based on migrate type which has little bearing on the cache hotness of the page and potentially checks empty lists repeatedly in the event the majority of PCP pages are of one type.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm: page_alloc: fix CMA and HIGHATOMIC landing on the wrong buddy list Commit 4b23a68f9536 ("mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock") bypasses the pcplist on lock contention and returns the page directly to the buddy list of the page's migratetype. For pages that don't have their own pcplist, such as CMA and HIGHATOMIC, the migratetype is temporarily updated such that the page can hitch a ride on the MOVABLE pcplist. Their true type is later reassessed when flushing in free_pcppages_bulk(). However, when lock contention is detected after the type was already overridden, the bypass will then put the page on the wrong buddy list. Once on the MOVABLE buddy list, the page becomes eligible for fallbacks and even stealing. In the case of HIGHATOMIC, otherwise ineligible allocations can dip into the highatomic reserves. In the case of CMA, the page can be lost from the CMA region permanently. Use a separate pcpmigratetype variable for the pcplist override. Use the original migratetype when going directly to the buddy. This fixes the bug and should make the intentions more obvious in the code. Originally sent here to address the HIGHATOMIC case: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230821183733.106619-4-hannes@cmpxchg.org/ Changelog updated in response to the CMA-specific bug report.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree.

mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular. This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page() instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs. free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be correct. Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is running but that is not a common operation.

mm: page_alloc: fix CMA and HIGHATOMIC landing on the wrong buddy list Commit 4b23a68f9536 ("mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock") bypasses the pcplist on lock contention and returns the page directly to the buddy list of the page's migratetype. For pages that don't have their own pcplist, such as CMA and HIGHATOMIC, the migratetype is temporarily updated such that the page can hitch a ride on the MOVABLE pcplist. Their true type is later reassessed when flushing in free_pcppages_bulk(). However, when lock contention is detected after the type was already overridden, the bypass will then put the page on the wrong buddy list. Once on the MOVABLE buddy list, the page becomes eligible for fallbacks and even stealing. In the case of HIGHATOMIC, otherwise ineligible allocations can dip into the highatomic reserves. In the case of CMA, the page can be lost from the CMA region permanently. Use a separate pcpmigratetype variable for the pcplist override. Use the original migratetype when going directly to the buddy. This fixes the bug and should make the intentions more obvious in the code.

mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular. This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page() instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs. free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be correct. Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is running but that is not a common operation.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact. The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie delete options, the main comparison is bonnie 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 jan-v2 vanilla mel-v2 Hmean SeqCreate ops 76.20 ( 0.00%) 75.80 ( -0.53%) 76.80 ( 0.79%) Hmean SeqCreate read 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) Hmean SeqCreate del 13752.31 ( 0.00%) 12090.23 ( -12.09%) 15304.84 ( 11.29%) Hmean RandCreate ops 76.00 ( 0.00%) 75.60 ( -0.53%) 77.00 ( 1.32%) Hmean RandCreate read 96.80 ( 0.00%) 96.80 ( 0.00%) 97.00 ( 0.21%) Hmean RandCreate del 13233.75 ( 0.00%) 11525.35 ( -12.91%) 14446.61 ( 9.16%) Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where as this series on top gains another 11%.

page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type The following two patches remove searching in the page allocator fast-path by maintaining multiple free-lists in the per-cpu structure. At the time the search was introduced, increasing the per-cpu structures would waste a lot of memory as per-cpu structures were statically allocated at compile-time. This is no longer the case. The patches are as follows. They are based on mmotm-2009-08-27. Patch 1 adds multiple lists to struct per_cpu_pages, one per migratetype that can be stored on the PCP lists. Patch 2 notes that the pcpu drain path check empty lists multiple times. The patch reduces the number of checks by maintaining a count of free lists encountered. Lists containing pages will then free multiple pages in batch The patches were tested with kernbench, netperf udp/tcp, hackbench and sysbench. The netperf tests were not bound to any CPU in particular and were run such that the results should be 99% confidence that the reported results are within 1% of the estimated mean. sysbench was run with a postgres background and read-only tests. Similar to netperf, it was run multiple times so that it's 99% confidence results are within 1%.

This search is potentially expensive in a fast-path and undesirable. Splitting the per-cpu list into multiple lists increases the size of a per-cpu structure and this was potentially a major problem at the time the search was introduced. These problem has been mitigated as now only the necessary number of structures is allocated for the running system. This patch replaces a list search in the per-cpu allocator with one list per migrate type. The potential snag with this approach is when bulk freeing pages. We round-robin free pages based on migrate type which has little bearing on the cache hotness of the page and potentially checks empty lists repeatedly in the event the majority of PCP pages are of one type.

mm: page_alloc: fix CMA and HIGHATOMIC landing on the wrong buddy list Commit 4b23a68f9536 ("mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock") bypasses the pcplist on lock contention and returns the page directly to the buddy list of the page's migratetype. For pages that don't have their own pcplist, such as CMA and HIGHATOMIC, the migratetype is temporarily updated such that the page can hitch a ride on the MOVABLE pcplist. Their true type is later reassessed when flushing in free_pcppages_bulk(). However, when lock contention is detected after the type was already overridden, the bypass will then put the page on the wrong buddy list. Once on the MOVABLE buddy list, the page becomes eligible for fallbacks and even stealing. In the case of HIGHATOMIC, otherwise ineligible allocations can dip into the highatomic reserves. In the case of CMA, the page can be lost from the CMA region permanently. Use a separate pcpmigratetype variable for the pcplist override. Use the original migratetype when going directly to the buddy. This fixes the bug and should make the intentions more obvious in the code.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

pcp = pcp_spin_trylock(zone->per_cpu_pageset);
mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst) local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT. Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid accidentally allocating remote memory.

mm: page_alloc: fix CMA and HIGHATOMIC landing on the wrong buddy list Commit 4b23a68f9536 ("mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock") bypasses the pcplist on lock contention and returns the page directly to the buddy list of the page's migratetype. For pages that don't have their own pcplist, such as CMA and HIGHATOMIC, the migratetype is temporarily updated such that the page can hitch a ride on the MOVABLE pcplist. Their true type is later reassessed when flushing in free_pcppages_bulk(). However, when lock contention is detected after the type was already overridden, the bypass will then put the page on the wrong buddy list. Once on the MOVABLE buddy list, the page becomes eligible for fallbacks and even stealing. In the case of HIGHATOMIC, otherwise ineligible allocations can dip into the highatomic reserves. In the case of CMA, the page can be lost from the CMA region permanently. Use a separate pcpmigratetype variable for the pcplist override. Use the original migratetype when going directly to the buddy. This fixes the bug and should make the intentions more obvious in the code.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock.

mm: remove cold parameter from free_hot_cold_page* Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page should be more obvious. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular. This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page() instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs. free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be correct. Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is running but that is not a common operation.

This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains.

It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache.

mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact. The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie delete options, the main comparison is bonnie 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 jan-v2 vanilla mel-v2 Hmean SeqCreate ops 76.20 ( 0.00%) 75.80 ( -0.53%) 76.80 ( 0.79%) Hmean SeqCreate read 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) Hmean SeqCreate del 13752.31 ( 0.00%) 12090.23 ( -12.09%) 15304.84 ( 11.29%) Hmean RandCreate ops 76.00 ( 0.00%) 75.60 ( -0.53%) 77.00 ( 1.32%) Hmean RandCreate read 96.80 ( 0.00%) 96.80 ( 0.00%) 97.00 ( 0.21%) Hmean RandCreate del 13233.75 ( 0.00%) 11525.35 ( -12.91%) 14446.61 ( 9.16%) Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where as this series on top gains another 11%.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst) local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT. Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid accidentally allocating remote memory.

mm: remove cold parameter from free_hot_cold_page* Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page should be more obvious. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

mm/memcg: set memcg when splitting page As described in the split_page() comment, for the non-compound high order page, the sub-pages must be freed individually. If the memcg of the first page is valid, the tail pages cannot be uncharged when be freed. For example, when alloc_pages_exact is used to allocate 1MB continuous physical memory, 2MB is charged(kmemcg is enabled and __GFP_ACCOUNT is set). When make_alloc_exact free the unused 1MB and free_pages_exact free the applied 1MB, actually, only 4KB(one page) is uncharged. Therefore, the memcg of the tail page needs to be set when splitting a page. Michel: There are at least two explicit users of __GFP_ACCOUNT with alloc_exact_pages added recently. See 7efe8ef274024 ("KVM: arm64: Allocate stage-2 pgd pages with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT") and c419621873713 ("KVM: s390: Add memcg accounting to KVM allocations"), so this is not just a theoretical issue.

mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock Current pageblock isolation logic could isolate each pageblock individually. This causes freepage accounting problem if freepage with pageblock order on isolate pageblock is merged with other freepage on normal pageblock. We can prevent merging by restricting max order of merging to pageblock order if freepage is on isolate pageblock. A side-effect of this change is that there could be non-merged buddy freepage even if finishing pageblock isolation, because undoing pageblock isolation is just to move freepage from isolate buddy list to normal buddy list rather than to consider merging. So, the patch also makes undoing pageblock isolation consider freepage merge. When un-isolation, freepage with more than pageblock order and it's buddy are checked. If they are on normal pageblock, instead of just moving, we isolate the freepage and free it in order to get merged.

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().

mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested. This patch partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested. This patch partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

mm/page_alloc: convert "report" flag of __free_one_page() to a proper flag Patch series "mm: place pages to the freelist tail when onlining and undoing isolation", v2. When adding separate memory blocks via add_memory*() and onlining them immediately, the metadata (especially the memmap) of the next block will be placed onto one of the just added+onlined block. This creates a chain of unmovable allocations: If the last memory block cannot get offlined+removed() so will all dependent ones. We directly have unmovable allocations all over the place. This can be observed quite easily using virtio-mem, however, it can also be observed when using DIMMs. The freshly onlined pages will usually be placed to the head of the freelists, meaning they will be allocated next, turning the just-added memory usually immediately un-removable. The fresh pages are cold, prefering to allocate others (that might be hot) also feels to be the natural thing to do. It also applies to the hyper-v balloon xen-balloon, and ppc64 dlpar: when adding separate, successive memory blocks, each memory block will have unmovable allocations on them - for example gigantic pages will fail to allocate. While the ZONE_NORMAL doesn't provide any guarantees that memory can get offlined+removed again (any kind of fragmentation with unmovable allocations is possible), there are many scenarios (hotplugging a lot of memory, running workload, hotunplug some memory/as much as possible) where we can offline+remove quite a lot with this patchset. a) To visualize the problem, a very simple example: Start a VM with 4GB and 8GB of virtio-mem memory: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000033fffffff 9G online yes 32-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 12G Total offline memory: 0B Then try to unplug as much as possible using virtio-mem. Observe which memory blocks are still around. Without this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 0x0000000148000000-0x000000014fffffff 128M online yes 41 0x0000000158000000-0x000000015fffffff 128M online yes 43 0x0000000168000000-0x000000016fffffff 128M online yes 45 0x0000000178000000-0x000000017fffffff 128M online yes 47 0x0000000188000000-0x0000000197ffffff 256M online yes 49-50 0x00000001a0000000-0x00000001a7ffffff 128M online yes 52 0x00000001b0000000-0x00000001b7ffffff 128M online yes 54 0x00000001c0000000-0x00000001c7ffffff 128M online yes 56 0x00000001d0000000-0x00000001d7ffffff 128M online yes 58 0x00000001e0000000-0x00000001e7ffffff 128M online yes 60 0x00000001f0000000-0x00000001f7ffffff 128M online yes 62 0x0000000200000000-0x0000000207ffffff 128M online yes 64 0x0000000210000000-0x0000000217ffffff 128M online yes 66 0x0000000220000000-0x0000000227ffffff 128M online yes 68 0x0000000230000000-0x0000000237ffffff 128M online yes 70 0x0000000240000000-0x0000000247ffffff 128M online yes 72 0x0000000250000000-0x0000000257ffffff 128M online yes 74 0x0000000260000000-0x0000000267ffffff 128M online yes 76 0x0000000270000000-0x0000000277ffffff 128M online yes 78 0x0000000280000000-0x0000000287ffffff 128M online yes 80 0x0000000290000000-0x0000000297ffffff 128M online yes 82 0x00000002a0000000-0x00000002a7ffffff 128M online yes 84 0x00000002b0000000-0x00000002b7ffffff 128M online yes 86 0x00000002c0000000-0x00000002c7ffffff 128M online yes 88 0x00000002d0000000-0x00000002d7ffffff 128M online yes 90 0x00000002e0000000-0x00000002e7ffffff 128M online yes 92 0x00000002f0000000-0x00000002f7ffffff 128M online yes 94 0x0000000300000000-0x0000000307ffffff 128M online yes 96 0x0000000310000000-0x0000000317ffffff 128M online yes 98 0x0000000320000000-0x0000000327ffffff 128M online yes 100 0x0000000330000000-0x000000033fffffff 256M online yes 102-103 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 8.1G Total offline memory: 0B With this patch set: [root@localhost ~]# lsmem RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff 3G online yes 0-23 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff 1G online yes 32-39 Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 4G Total offline memory: 0B All memory can get unplugged, all memory block can get removed. Of course, no workload ran and the system was basically idle, but it highlights the issue - the fairly deterministic chain of unmovable allocations. When a huge page for the 2MB memmap is needed, a just-onlined 4MB page will be split. The remaining 2MB page will be used for the memmap of the next memory block. So one memory block will hold the memmap of the two following memory blocks. Finally the pages of the last-onlined memory block will get used for the next bigger allocations - if any allocation is unmovable, all dependent memory blocks cannot get unplugged and removed until that allocation is gone. Note that with bigger memory blocks (e.g., 256MB), *all* memory blocks are dependent and none can get unplugged again! b) Experiment with memory intensive workload I performed an experiment with an older version of this patch set (before we used undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(): Hotplug 56GB to a VM with an initial 4GB, onlining all memory to ZONE_NORMAL right from the kernel when adding it. I then run various memory intensive workloads that consume most system memory for a total of 45 minutes. Once finished, I try to unplug as much memory as possible. With this change, I am able to remove via virtio-mem (adding individual 128MB memory blocks) 413 out of 448 added memory blocks. Via individual (256MB) DIMMs 380 out of 448 added memory blocks. (I don't have any numbers without this patchset, but looking at the above example, it's at most half of the 448 memory blocks for virtio-mem, and most probably none for DIMMs). Again, there are workloads that might behave very differently due to the nature of ZONE_NORMAL. This change also affects (besides memory onlining): - Other users of undo_isolate_page_range(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- When memory offlining fails -- When memory isolation fails after having isolated some pageblocks -- When alloc_contig_range() either succeeds or fails - Other users of __putback_isolated_page(): Pages are always placed to the tail. -- Free page reporting - Other users of __free_pages_core() -- AFAIKs, any memory that is getting exposed to the buddy during boot. IIUC we will now usually allocate memory from lower addresses within a zone first (especially during boot). - Other users of generic_online_page() -- Hyper-V balloon This patch (of 5): Let's prepare for additional flags and avoid long parameter lists of bools. Follow-up patches will also make use of the flags in __free_pages_ok().

mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __putback_isolated_page() __putback_isolated_page() already documents that pages will be placed to the tail of the freelist - this is, however, not the case for "order >= MAX_ORDER - 2" (see buddy_merge_likely()) - which should be the case for all existing users. This change affects two users: - free page reporting - page isolation, when undoing the isolation (including memory onlining). This behavior is desirable for pages that haven't really been touched lately, so exactly the two users that don't actually read/write page content, but rather move untouched pages. The new behavior is especially desirable for memory onlining, where we allow allocation of newly onlined pages via undo_isolate_page_range() in online_pages(). Right now, we always place them to the head of the freelist, resulting in undesireable behavior: Assume we add individual memory chunks via add_memory() and online them right away to the NORMAL zone. We create a dependency chain of unmovable allocations e.g., via the memmap. The memmap of the next chunk will be placed onto previous chunks - if the last block cannot get offlined+removed, all dependent ones cannot get offlined+removed. While this can already be observed with individual DIMMs, it's more of an issue for virtio-mem (and I suspect also ppc DLPAR). Document that this should only be used for optimizations, and no code should rely on this behavior for correction (if the order of the freelists ever changes). We won't care about page shuffling: memory onlining already properly shuffles after onlining. free page reporting doesn't care about physically contiguous ranges, and there are already cases where page isolation will simply move (physically close) free pages to (currently) the head of the freelists via move_freepages_block() instead of shuffling. If this becomes ever relevant, we should shuffle the whole zone when undoing isolation of larger ranges, and after free_contig_range().

mm: change the call sites of numa statistics items Patch series "Separate NUMA statistics from zone statistics", v2. Each page allocation updates a set of per-zone statistics with a call to zone_statistics(). As discussed in 2017 MM summit, these are a substantial source of overhead in the page allocator and are very rarely consumed. This significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded page allocation (pointed out by Dave Hansen). A link to the MM summit slides: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2017/MM-summit2017-JesperBrouer.pdf To mitigate this overhead, this patchset separates NUMA statistics from zone statistics framework, and update NUMA counter threshold to a fixed size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter (suggested by Ying Huang). The rationality is that these statistics counters don't need to be read often, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem to use a large threshold and make readers more expensive. With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369, see below) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark. Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch for details). I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold of pcp counter.

mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurable This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about *4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 threads, 126G memory). Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to 10000000): https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench ========================================================================= When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all tooling to work, you can do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat This is system default setting.

mm: fix remote numa hits statistics Jia He has noticed that commit b9f00e147f27 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce branches in zone_statistics") has an unintentional side effect that remote node allocation requests are accounted as NUMA_MISS rathat than NUMA_HIT and NUMA_OTHER if such a request doesn't use __GFP_OTHER_NODE. There are many of these potentially because the flag is used very rarely while we have many users of __alloc_pages_node. Fix this by simply ignoring __GFP_OTHER_NODE (it can be removed in a follow up patch) and treat all allocations that were satisfied from the preferred zone's node as NUMA_HITS because this is the same node we requested the allocation from in most cases. If this is not the local node then we just account it as NUMA_OTHER rather than NUMA_LOCAL. One downsize would be that an allocation request for a node which is outside of the mempolicy nodemask would be reported as a hit which is a bit weird but that was the case before b9f00e147f27 already.

mm: tune PCP high automatically The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows, - Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone - Minimize idle pages in PCP - Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed, - When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high. Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused by too large PCP. The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the overhead in hotter freeing path.

Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

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: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in the future. Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types that are falling back. vanilla 3816 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 800845 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 33 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE patch 735 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 408135 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations. Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

The allocation success rate is high enough that the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

unsigned int alloc_flags,
mm: remove __GFP_COLD As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the zone. - In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()), decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages. - When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of workloads eventually. One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case. One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages. 1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be freed eventually. On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in the future. Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types that are falling back. vanilla 3816 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 800845 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 33 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE patch 735 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 408135 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations. Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

The allocation success rate is high enough that the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

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: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5. Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). Introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. This has two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated tasks are not interrupted. This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists. While many workloads can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is non-deterministic. Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu lists. The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page allocation is in progress. This series adjusts the locking. A spinlock is added to struct per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch. This allows a remote CPU to safely. Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most cases. The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any problems. Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages and when it is storing per-cpu pages. Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another cache line. Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication. Patch 4 is a minor correction. Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy. Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue. Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining This patch (of 7): The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP lists. Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with page->lru. This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in the page allocator. No functional change intended.

The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity checks Historically, we have performed sanity checks on all struct pages being allocated or freed, making sure they have no unexpected page flags or certain field values. This can detect insufficient cleanup and some cases of use-after-free, although on its own it can't always identify the culprit. The result is a warning and the "bad page" being leaked. The checks do need some cpu cycles, so in 4.7 with commits 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccbd9 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") they were no longer performed in the hot paths when allocating and freeing from pcplists, but only when pcplists are bypassed, refilled or drained. For debugging purposes, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled the checks were instead still done in the hot paths and not when refilling or draining pcplists. With 4462b32c9285 ("mm, page_alloc: more extensive free page checking with debug_pagealloc"), enabling debug_pagealloc also moved the sanity checks back to hot pahs. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled, the checks are done both in hotpaths and pcplist refill/drain. Even though the non-debug default today might seem to be a sensible tradeoff between overhead and ability to detect bad pages, on closer look it's arguably not. As most allocations go through the pcplists, catching any bad pages when refilling or draining pcplists has only a small chance, insufficient for debugging or serious hardening purposes. On the other hand the cost of the checks is concentrated in the already expensive drain/refill batching operations, and those are done under the often contended zone lock. That was recently identified as an issue for page allocation and the zone lock contention reduced by moving the checks outside of the locked section with a patch "mm: reduce lock contention of pcp buffer refill", but the cost of the checks is still visible compared to their removal [1]. In the pcplist draining path free_pcppages_bulk() the checks are still done under zone->lock. Thus, remove the checks from pcplist refill and drain paths completely. Introduce a static key check_pages_enabled to control checks during page allocation a freeing (whether pcplist is used or bypassed). The static key is enabled if either is true: - kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y (debugging) - debug_pagealloc or page poisoning is boot-time enabled (debugging) - init_on_alloc or init_on_free is boot-time enabled (hardening) The resulting user visible changes: - no checks when draining/refilling pcplists - less overhead, with likely no practical reduction of ability to catch bad pages - no checks when bypassing pcplists in default config (no debugging/hardening) - less overhead etc. as above - on typical hardened kernels [2], checks are now performed on each page allocation/free (previously only when bypassing/draining/refilling pcplists) - the init_on_alloc/init_on_free enabled should be sufficient indication for preferring more costly alloc/free operations for hardening purposes and we shouldn't need to introduce another toggle - code (various wrappers) removal and simplification [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/68ba44d8-6899-c018-dcb3-36f3a96e6bea@sra.uni-hannover.de/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/63ebc499.a70a0220.9ac51.29ea@mx.google.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make check_pages_enabled static] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230216095131.17336-1-vbabka@suse.cz Reported-by: Alexander Halbuer <halbuer@sra.uni-hannover.de> Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

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.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists.

pcp = pcp_spin_trylock(zone->per_cpu_pageset);
mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst) local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT. Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid accidentally allocating remote memory.

mm/page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch freed When a task is freeing a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire the zone->lock multiple times freeing pages in batches. This may unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when freeing very large number of pages. This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent pattern to scale the batch size for subsequent frees. As the machines I used were not large enough to test this are not large enough to illustrate a problem, a debugging patch shows patterns like the following (slightly editted for clarity) Baseline vanilla kernel time-unmap-14426 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 63 count 378 high 378 time-unmap-14426 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 63 count 378 high 378 time-unmap-14426 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 63 count 378 high 378 time-unmap-14426 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 63 count 378 high 378 time-unmap-14426 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 63 count 378 high 378 With patches time-unmap-7724 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 126 count 814 high 814 time-unmap-7724 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 252 count 814 high 814 time-unmap-7724 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 504 count 814 high 814 time-unmap-7724 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 751 count 814 high 814 time-unmap-7724 [...] free_pcppages_bulk: free 751 count 814 high 814 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210525080119.5455-5-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example, in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some network workloads. To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can detect consecutive page freeing much earlier. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations The pcp_spin_lock_irqsave protecting the PCP lists is IRQ-safe as a task allocating from the PCP must not re-enter the allocator from IRQ context. In each instance where IRQ-reentrancy is possible, the lock is acquired using pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() even though IRQs are disabled and re-entrancy is impossible. Demote the lock to pcp_spin_lock avoids an IRQ disable/enable in the common case at the cost of some IRQ allocations taking a slower path. If the PCP lists need to be refilled, the zone lock still needs to disable IRQs but that will only happen on PCP refill and drain. If an IRQ is raised when a PCP allocation is in progress, the trylock will fail and fallback to using the buddy lists directly. Note that this may not be a universal win if an interrupt-intensive workload also allocates heavily from interrupt context and contends heavily on the zone->lock as a result.

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: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

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.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

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, 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 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails"). It is clearly an implementation detail though and we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be able to cope with such eventuality. The only place in should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for compaction_withdrawn() case. Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed. In this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark check. The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation order. The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining memory for a single allocation request just unblock __compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further progress. The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further progress. !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g. order-2 pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

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.

/* free_pages may go negative - that's OK */
page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok.

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, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

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.

mm: page allocator: adjust the per-cpu counter threshold when memory is low Commit aa45484 ("calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low") noted that watermarks were based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES. To avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low. Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least. To ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is introduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called from wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to sleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really balanced or not in balance_pgdat(). We are still using an expensive function but limiting how often it is called. When the test case is reproduced, the time spent in the watermark functions is reduced. The following report is on the percentage of time spent cumulatively spent in the functions zone_nr_free_pages(), zone_watermark_ok(), __zone_watermark_ok(), zone_watermark_ok_safe(), zone_page_state_snapshot(), zone_page_state(). vanilla 11.6615% disable-threshold 0.2584% David said: : We had to pull aa454840 "mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate : of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake" from 2.6.36 : internally because tests showed that it would cause the machine to stall : as the result of heavy kswapd activity. I merged it back with this fix as : it is pending in the -mm tree and it solves the issue we were seeing, so I : definitely think this should be pushed to -stable (and I would seriously : consider it for 2.6.37 inclusion even at this late date).

mm, page_alloc: fix potential false positive in __zone_watermark_ok Since commit 97a16fc82a7c ("mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for order-0 allocations"), __zone_watermark_ok() check for high-order allocations will shortcut per-migratetype free list checks for ALLOC_HARDER allocations, and return true as long as there's free page of any migratetype. The intention is that ALLOC_HARDER can allocate from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC free lists, while normal allocations can't. However, as a side effect, the watermark check will then also return true when there are pages only on the MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, or (prior to CMA conversion to ZONE_MOVABLE) on the MIGRATE_CMA list. Since the allocation cannot actually obtain isolated pages, and might not be able to obtain CMA pages, this can result in a false positive. The condition should be rare and perhaps the outcome is not a fatal one. Still, it's better if the watermark check is correct. There also shouldn't be a performance tradeoff here.

mm: page allocator: adjust the per-cpu counter threshold when memory is low Commit aa45484 ("calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low") noted that watermarks were based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES. To avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low. Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least.

unsigned long mark, int highest_zoneidx,
mm, page_alloc: skip ->waternark_boost for atomic order-0 allocations When boosting is enabled, it is observed that rate of atomic order-0 allocation failures are high due to the fact that free levels in the system are checked with ->watermark_boost offset. This is not a problem for sleepable allocations but for atomic allocations which looks like regression. This problem is seen frequently on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware with 4GB RAM size. When no extfrag event occurred in the system, ->watermark_boost factor is zero, thus the watermark configurations in the system are: _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 0 After launching some memory hungry applications in Android which can cause extfrag events in the system to an extent that ->watermark_boost can be set to max i.e. default boost factor makes it to 150% of high watermark. _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 14077, -->~57MB With default system configuration, for an atomic order-0 allocation to succeed, having free memory of ~2MB will suffice. But boosting makes the min_wmark to ~61MB thus for an atomic order-0 allocation to be successful system should have minimum of ~23MB of free memory(from calculations of zone_watermark_ok(), min = 3/4(min/2)). But failures are observed despite system is having ~20MB of free memory. In the testing, this is reproducible as early as first 300secs since boot and with furtherlowram configurations(<2GB) it is observed as early as first 150secs since boot. These failures can be avoided by excluding the ->watermark_boost in watermark caluculations for atomic order-0 allocations.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

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; 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 optfair-v1r20 fastmark-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 380.00 ( 0.00%) 364.00 ( 4.21%) Min alloc-odr0-2 273.00 ( 0.00%) 262.00 ( 4.03%) Min alloc-odr0-4 227.00 ( 0.00%) 214.00 ( 5.73%) Min alloc-odr0-8 196.00 ( 0.00%) 186.00 ( 5.10%) Min alloc-odr0-16 183.00 ( 0.00%) 173.00 ( 5.46%) Min alloc-odr0-32 173.00 ( 0.00%) 165.00 ( 4.62%) Min alloc-odr0-64 169.00 ( 0.00%) 161.00 ( 4.73%) Min alloc-odr0-128 169.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 5.92%) Min alloc-odr0-256 180.00 ( 0.00%) 168.00 ( 6.67%) Min alloc-odr0-512 190.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 5.26%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 198.00 ( 0.00%) 190.00 ( 4.04%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 204.00 ( 0.00%) 196.00 ( 3.92%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 209.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 3.35%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 213.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.29%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 214.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.74%) Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

/*
* Fast check for order-0 only. If this fails then the reserves
page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

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; 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 optfair-v1r20 fastmark-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 380.00 ( 0.00%) 364.00 ( 4.21%) Min alloc-odr0-2 273.00 ( 0.00%) 262.00 ( 4.03%) Min alloc-odr0-4 227.00 ( 0.00%) 214.00 ( 5.73%) Min alloc-odr0-8 196.00 ( 0.00%) 186.00 ( 5.10%) Min alloc-odr0-16 183.00 ( 0.00%) 173.00 ( 5.46%) Min alloc-odr0-32 173.00 ( 0.00%) 165.00 ( 4.62%) Min alloc-odr0-64 169.00 ( 0.00%) 161.00 ( 4.73%) Min alloc-odr0-128 169.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 5.92%) Min alloc-odr0-256 180.00 ( 0.00%) 168.00 ( 6.67%) Min alloc-odr0-512 190.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 5.26%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 198.00 ( 0.00%) 190.00 ( 4.04%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 204.00 ( 0.00%) 196.00 ( 3.92%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 209.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 3.35%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 213.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.29%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 214.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.74%) Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages"). The commit simply checks if free pages is bigger than watermark without additional calculation such like reducing watermark. It considered free cma pages but it did not consider highatomic reserved. This may incur exhaustion of free pages except high order atomic free pages. Assume that reserved_highatomic pageblock is bigger than watermark min, and there are only few free pages except high order atomic free. Because zone_watermark_fast passes the allocation without considering high order atomic free, normal reclaimable allocation like GFP_HIGHUSER will consume all the free pages. Then finally order-0 atomic allocation may fail on allocation. This means watermark min is not protected against non-atomic allocation. The order-0 atomic allocation with ALLOC_HARDER unwantedly can be failed. Additionally the __GFP_MEMALLOC allocation with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS also can be failed. To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic reserve. If the actual size of high atomic free is counted accurately like cma free, we may use it. On this patch just use nr_reserved_highatomic. Additionally introduce __zone_watermark_unusable_free to factor out common parts between zone_watermark_fast and __zone_watermark_ok. This is an example of ALLOC_HARDER allocation failure using v4.19 based kernel.

mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC __GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it will succeed. It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets. __GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM. There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set. __GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here. __GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead. This patch: - removes __GFP_ATOMIC - allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well as GFP_ATOMIC requests. - makes other adjustments as suggested by the above. The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra privileges. This affects: xen, dm, md, ntfs3 the vermillion frame buffer hibernation ksm swap all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

To avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low. Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least. To ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is introduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called from wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to sleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really balanced or not in balance_pgdat().

[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and skipping them. Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct, to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.) Recent changes: This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones. This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones on that node were full. Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache", as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.) See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and (2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below. I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan, this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist(). There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa emulation case by caching the last useful zone: 1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems) have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have. This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though. The following approach should help such real numa systems just as much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof. 2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance, so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging. The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or zone sorting. See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does. Technical details of note (or controversy): - See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking. - Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this. Search for "MPOL_BIND". - Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently, with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data, and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling. The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones' (a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should all be self correcting after at most a one second delay. - This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another one or two new and distinct cache lines. - If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be (pleasantly) flabbergasted. - I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the lie to that claim. - I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node. =============== Performance - some benchmark results and analysis: This benchmark runs a memory hog program that uses multiple threads to touch alot of memory as quickly as it can. Multiple runs were made, touching 12, 38, 64 or 90 GBytes out of the total 96 GBytes on the system, and using 1, 19, 37, or 55 threads (on a 56 CPU system.) System, user and real (elapsed) timings were recorded for each run, shown in units of seconds, in the table below. Two kernels were tested - 2.6.18-mm3 and the same kernel with this zonelist caching patch added. The table also shows the percentage improvement the zonelist caching sys time is over (lower than) the stock *-mm kernel. number 2.6.18-mm3 zonelist-cache delta (< 0 good) percent GBs N ------------ -------------- ---------------- systime mem threads sys user real sys user real sys user real better 12 1 153 24 177 151 24 176 -2 0 -1 1% 12 19 99 22 8 99 22 8 0 0 0 0% 12 37 111 25 6 112 25 6 1 0 0 -0% 12 55 115 25 5 110 23 5 -5 -2 0 4% 38 1 502 74 576 497 73 570 -5 -1 -6 0% 38 19 426 78 48 373 76 39 -53 -2 -9 12% 38 37 544 83 36 547 82 36 3 -1 0 -0% 38 55 501 77 23 511 80 24 10 3 1 -1% 64 1 917 125 1042 890 124 1014 -27 -1 -28 2% 64 19 1118 138 119 965 141 103 -153 3 -16 13% 64 37 1202 151 94 1136 150 81 -66 -1 -13 5% 64 55 1118 141 61 1072 140 58 -46 -1 -3 4% 90 1 1342 177 1519 1275 174 1450 -67 -3 -69 4% 90 19 2392 199 192 2116 189 176 -276 -10 -16 11% 90 37 3313 238 175 2972 225 145 -341 -13 -30 10% 90 55 1948 210 104 1843 213 100 -105 3 -4 5% Notes: 1) This test ran a memory hog program that started a specified number N of threads, and had each thread allocate and touch 1/N'th of the total memory to be used in the test run in a single loop, writing a constant word to memory, one store every 4096 bytes. Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread. 2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns. The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run, for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds. 3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize the amount of background activity that might interfere. 4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM. 5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not. 6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs) ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a pleasantly parallizable workload. 7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist caching patch. Conclusions: * This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid heavy off node allocations. * For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings up to ten per-cent. * For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

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.

sched/topology: Improve load balancing on AMD EPYC systems SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init() for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops (RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance across domains that far apart. However, as is rather unfortunately explained in: commit 32e45ff43eaf ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30") the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from 2011-era hardware. Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances: node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32 1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32 2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32 3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32 4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16 5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16 6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16 7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10 where 2 hops is 32. The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart. For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4 (CPUs 32-39) like so, $ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16 causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads to node 4.

[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and skipping them. Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct, to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.) Recent changes: This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones. This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones on that node were full. Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache", as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.) See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and (2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below. I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan, this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist(). There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa emulation case by caching the last useful zone: 1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems) have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have. This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though. The following approach should help such real numa systems just as much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof. 2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance, so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging. The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or zone sorting. See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does. Technical details of note (or controversy): - See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking. - Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this. Search for "MPOL_BIND". - Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently, with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data, and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling. The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones' (a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should all be self correcting after at most a one second delay. - This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another one or two new and distinct cache lines. - If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be (pleasantly) flabbergasted. - I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the lie to that claim. - I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node. =============== Performance - some benchmark results and analysis: This benchmark runs a memory hog program that uses multiple threads to touch alot of memory as quickly as it can. Multiple runs were made, touching 12, 38, 64 or 90 GBytes out of the total 96 GBytes on the system, and using 1, 19, 37, or 55 threads (on a 56 CPU system.) System, user and real (elapsed) timings were recorded for each run, shown in units of seconds, in the table below. Two kernels were tested - 2.6.18-mm3 and the same kernel with this zonelist caching patch added. The table also shows the percentage improvement the zonelist caching sys time is over (lower than) the stock *-mm kernel. number 2.6.18-mm3 zonelist-cache delta (< 0 good) percent GBs N ------------ -------------- ---------------- systime mem threads sys user real sys user real sys user real better 12 1 153 24 177 151 24 176 -2 0 -1 1% 12 19 99 22 8 99 22 8 0 0 0 0% 12 37 111 25 6 112 25 6 1 0 0 -0% 12 55 115 25 5 110 23 5 -5 -2 0 4% 38 1 502 74 576 497 73 570 -5 -1 -6 0% 38 19 426 78 48 373 76 39 -53 -2 -9 12% 38 37 544 83 36 547 82 36 3 -1 0 -0% 38 55 501 77 23 511 80 24 10 3 1 -1% 64 1 917 125 1042 890 124 1014 -27 -1 -28 2% 64 19 1118 138 119 965 141 103 -153 3 -16 13% 64 37 1202 151 94 1136 150 81 -66 -1 -13 5% 64 55 1118 141 61 1072 140 58 -46 -1 -3 4% 90 1 1342 177 1519 1275 174 1450 -67 -3 -69 4% 90 19 2392 199 192 2116 189 176 -276 -10 -16 11% 90 37 3313 238 175 2972 225 145 -341 -13 -30 10% 90 55 1948 210 104 1843 213 100 -105 3 -4 5% Notes: 1) This test ran a memory hog program that started a specified number N of threads, and had each thread allocate and touch 1/N'th of the total memory to be used in the test run in a single loop, writing a constant word to memory, one store every 4096 bytes. Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread. 2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns. The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run, for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds. 3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize the amount of background activity that might interfere. 4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM. 5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not. 6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs) ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a pleasantly parallizable workload. 7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist caching patch. Conclusions: * This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid heavy off node allocations. * For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings up to ten per-cent. * For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1.

It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1.

The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However, there are two problems of this implementation. First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath, original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be allocated through the allocation fastpath even if memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual problem. Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target. To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude CMA area in page allocation.

[PATCH] VM: early zone reclaim This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back onto another zone. One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone. This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall. Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch 4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j" kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run: wall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps ---- ---- --- ---- ------ ------ No patch 1009 1384 847 258 298170 504402 w/patch, no reclaim 880 1376 667 288 254064 396745 w/patch & reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873 These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right after system boot. Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away. Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim (due to remote memory accesses).

This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads.

Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog.

In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view.

Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them.

[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and skipping them. Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct, to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.) Recent changes: This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones. This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones on that node were full. Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache", as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.) See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and (2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below. I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan, this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist(). There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa emulation case by caching the last useful zone: 1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems) have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have. This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though. The following approach should help such real numa systems just as much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof. 2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance, so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging. The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or zone sorting. See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does. Technical details of note (or controversy): - See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking. - Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this. Search for "MPOL_BIND". - Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently, with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data, and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling. The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones' (a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should all be self correcting after at most a one second delay. - This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another one or two new and distinct cache lines. - If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be (pleasantly) flabbergasted. - I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the lie to that claim. - I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node. =============== Performance - some benchmark results and analysis: This benchmark runs a memory hog program that uses multiple threads to touch alot of memory as quickly as it can. Multiple runs were made, touching 12, 38, 64 or 90 GBytes out of the total 96 GBytes on the system, and using 1, 19, 37, or 55 threads (on a 56 CPU system.) System, user and real (elapsed) timings were recorded for each run, shown in units of seconds, in the table below. Two kernels were tested - 2.6.18-mm3 and the same kernel with this zonelist caching patch added. The table also shows the percentage improvement the zonelist caching sys time is over (lower than) the stock *-mm kernel. number 2.6.18-mm3 zonelist-cache delta (< 0 good) percent GBs N ------------ -------------- ---------------- systime mem threads sys user real sys user real sys user real better 12 1 153 24 177 151 24 176 -2 0 -1 1% 12 19 99 22 8 99 22 8 0 0 0 0% 12 37 111 25 6 112 25 6 1 0 0 -0% 12 55 115 25 5 110 23 5 -5 -2 0 4% 38 1 502 74 576 497 73 570 -5 -1 -6 0% 38 19 426 78 48 373 76 39 -53 -2 -9 12% 38 37 544 83 36 547 82 36 3 -1 0 -0% 38 55 501 77 23 511 80 24 10 3 1 -1% 64 1 917 125 1042 890 124 1014 -27 -1 -28 2% 64 19 1118 138 119 965 141 103 -153 3 -16 13% 64 37 1202 151 94 1136 150 81 -66 -1 -13 5% 64 55 1118 141 61 1072 140 58 -46 -1 -3 4% 90 1 1342 177 1519 1275 174 1450 -67 -3 -69 4% 90 19 2392 199 192 2116 189 176 -276 -10 -16 11% 90 37 3313 238 175 2972 225 145 -341 -13 -30 10% 90 55 1948 210 104 1843 213 100 -105 3 -4 5% Notes: 1) This test ran a memory hog program that started a specified number N of threads, and had each thread allocate and touch 1/N'th of the total memory to be used in the test run in a single loop, writing a constant word to memory, one store every 4096 bytes. Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread. 2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns. The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run, for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds. 3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize the amount of background activity that might interfere. 4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM. 5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not. 6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs) ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a pleasantly parallizable workload. 7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist caching patch. Conclusions: * This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid heavy off node allocations. * For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings up to ten per-cent. * For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

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. 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 multcheck-v1r20 cpuset-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 348.00 ( 0.00%) 348.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-2 254.00 ( 0.00%) 254.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4 213.00 ( 0.00%) 213.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-8 186.00 ( 0.00%) 183.00 ( 1.61%) Min alloc-odr0-16 173.00 ( 0.00%) 171.00 ( 1.16%) Min alloc-odr0-32 166.00 ( 0.00%) 163.00 ( 1.81%) Min alloc-odr0-64 162.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 1.85%) Min alloc-odr0-128 160.00 ( 0.00%) 157.00 ( 1.88%) Min alloc-odr0-256 169.00 ( 0.00%) 166.00 ( 1.78%) Min alloc-odr0-512 180.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 188.00 ( 0.00%) 187.00 ( 0.53%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 194.00 ( 0.00%) 193.00 ( 0.52%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 199.00 ( 0.00%) 198.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 202.00 ( 0.00%) 201.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 203.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 0.49%) Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

!__cpuset_zone_allowed(zone, gfp_mask))
mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim There have been a small number of complaints about significant stalls while copying large amounts of data on NUMA machines reported on a distribution bugzilla. In these cases, zone_reclaim was enabled by default due to large NUMA distances. In general, the complaints have not been about the workload itself unless it was a file server (in which case the recommendation was disable zone_reclaim). The stalls are mostly due to significant amounts of time spent scanning the preferred zone for pages to free. After a failure, it might fallback to another node (as zonelists are often node-ordered rather than zone-ordered) but stall quickly again when the next allocation attempt occurs. In bad cases, each page allocated results in a full scan of the preferred zone. Patch 1 checks the preferred zone for recent allocation failure which is particularly important if zone_reclaim has failed recently. This avoids rescanning the zone in the near future and instead falling back to another node. This may hurt node locality in some cases but a failure to zone_reclaim is more expensive than a remote access. Patch 2 clears the zlc information after direct reclaim. Otherwise, zone_reclaim can mark zones full, direct reclaim can reclaim enough pages but the zone is still not considered for allocation. This was tested on a 24-thread 2-node x86_64 machine. The tests were focused on large amounts of IO. All tests were bound to the CPUs on node-0 to avoid disturbances due to processes being scheduled on different nodes.

Time to completion is reduced. The number of pages scanned directly is still disturbingly high with a low efficiency but this is likely due to the number of dirty pages encountered. The figures could probably be improved with more work around how kswapd is used and how dirty pages are handled but that is separate work and this result is significant on its own.

Time to completion is again reduced. The gains are mostly down to two things. In many cases, there is less scanning as zone_reclaim simply gives up faster due to recent failures. The second reason is that memory is used more efficiently. Instead of scanning the preferred zone every time, the allocator falls back to another zone and uses it instead improving overall memory utilisation. This patch: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim. The zonelist cache (ZLC) is used among other things to record if zone_reclaim() failed for a particular zone recently. The intention is to avoid a high cost scanning extremely long zonelists or scanning within the zone uselessly. Currently the zonelist cache is setup only after the first zone has been considered and zone_reclaim() has been called. The objective was to avoid a costly setup but zone_reclaim is itself quite expensive. If it is failing regularly such as the first eligible zone having mostly mapped pages, the cost in scanning and allocation stalls is far higher than the ZLC initialisation step. This patch initialises ZLC before the first eligible zone calls zone_reclaim(). Once initialised, it is checked whether the zone failed zone_reclaim recently. If it has, the zone is skipped. As the first zone is now being checked, additional care has to be taken about zones marked full. A zone can be marked "full" because it should not have enough unmapped pages for zone_reclaim but this is excessive as direct reclaim or kswapd may succeed where zone_reclaim fails. Only mark zones "full" after zone_reclaim fails if it failed to reclaim enough pages after scanning.

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

This number of dirtyable pages is the sum of memory provided by all the zones in the system minus their lowmem reserves and high watermarks, so that the system can retain a healthy number of free pages without having to reclaim dirty pages. But there is a flaw in that we have a zoned page allocator which does not care about the global state but rather the state of individual memory zones.

This can interfere so badly with IO from the flusher threads that major filesystems (btrfs, xfs, ext4) mostly ignore write requests from reclaim already, taking away the VM's only possibility to keep such a zone balanced, aside from hoping the flushers will soon clean pages from that zone. Enter per-zone dirty limits. They are to a zone's dirtyable memory what the global limit is to the global amount of dirtyable memory, and try to make sure that no single zone receives more than its fair share of the globally allowed dirty pages in the first place. As the number of pages considered dirtyable excludes the zones' lowmem reserves and high watermarks, the maximum number of dirty pages in a zone is such that the zone can always be balanced without requiring page cleaning. As this is a placement decision in the page allocator and pages are dirtied only after the allocation, this patch allows allocators to pass __GFP_WRITE when they know in advance that the page will be written to and become dirty soon. The page allocator will then attempt to allocate from the first zone of the zonelist - which on NUMA is determined by the task's NUMA memory policy - that has not exceeded its dirty limit.

With a full high zone, allocations will be diverted to lower zones eventually, so it is more of a shift in timing of the lower zone allocations.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it.

Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused by too large PCP. The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the overhead in hotter freeing path.

mm, page_alloc: skip ->waternark_boost for atomic order-0 allocations When boosting is enabled, it is observed that rate of atomic order-0 allocation failures are high due to the fact that free levels in the system are checked with ->watermark_boost offset. This is not a problem for sleepable allocations but for atomic allocations which looks like regression. This problem is seen frequently on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware with 4GB RAM size. When no extfrag event occurred in the system, ->watermark_boost factor is zero, thus the watermark configurations in the system are: _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 0 After launching some memory hungry applications in Android which can cause extfrag events in the system to an extent that ->watermark_boost can be set to max i.e. default boost factor makes it to 150% of high watermark. _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 14077, -->~57MB With default system configuration, for an atomic order-0 allocation to succeed, having free memory of ~2MB will suffice. But boosting makes the min_wmark to ~61MB thus for an atomic order-0 allocation to be successful system should have minimum of ~23MB of free memory(from calculations of zone_watermark_ok(), min = 3/4(min/2)). But failures are observed despite system is having ~20MB of free memory. In the testing, this is reproducible as early as first 300secs since boot and with furtherlowram configurations(<2GB) it is observed as early as first 150secs since boot. These failures can be avoided by excluding the ->watermark_boost in watermark caluculations for atomic order-0 allocations.

vmscan: do not unconditionally treat zones that fail zone_reclaim() as full On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. The problem is that zone_reclaim() failing at all means the zone gets marked full. This can cause situations where a zone is usable, but is being skipped because it has been considered full. Take a situation where a large tmpfs mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall. The pages do not get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future. This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about what occured when zone_reclaim() failued. The zone only gets marked full if it really is unreclaimable. If it's a case that the scan did not occur or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then the zone is simply skipped. There is a side-effect to this patch. Currently, if zone_reclaim() successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go ahead. With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after zone_reclaim() does some work. This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc96a132f4068fdee00983c532f43d3a26 ("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the zonelist_cache was introduced. It was not intended that zone_reclaim() aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct reclaim can still be an option. Due to the age of the bug, it should be considered a -stable candidate.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

mm: initialize pages on demand during boot Deferred page initialization allows the boot cpu to initialize a small subset of the system's pages early in boot, with other cpus doing the rest later on. It is, however, problematic to know how many pages the kernel needs during boot. Different modules and kernel parameters may change the requirement, so the boot cpu either initializes too many pages or runs out of memory. To fix that, initialize early pages on demand. This ensures the kernel does the minimum amount of work to initialize pages during boot and leaves the rest to be divided in the multithreaded initialization path (deferred_init_memmap). The on-demand code is permanently disabled using static branching once deferred pages are initialized. After the static branch is changed to false, the overhead is up-to two branch-always instructions if the zone watermark check fails or if rmqueue fails. Sergey Senozhatsky noticed that while deferred pages currently make sense only on NUMA machines (we start one thread per latency node), CONFIG_NUMA is not a requirement for CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, so that is also must be addressed in the patch.

mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim There have been a small number of complaints about significant stalls while copying large amounts of data on NUMA machines reported on a distribution bugzilla. In these cases, zone_reclaim was enabled by default due to large NUMA distances. In general, the complaints have not been about the workload itself unless it was a file server (in which case the recommendation was disable zone_reclaim). The stalls are mostly due to significant amounts of time spent scanning the preferred zone for pages to free. After a failure, it might fallback to another node (as zonelists are often node-ordered rather than zone-ordered) but stall quickly again when the next allocation attempt occurs. In bad cases, each page allocated results in a full scan of the preferred zone. Patch 1 checks the preferred zone for recent allocation failure which is particularly important if zone_reclaim has failed recently. This avoids rescanning the zone in the near future and instead falling back to another node. This may hurt node locality in some cases but a failure to zone_reclaim is more expensive than a remote access. Patch 2 clears the zlc information after direct reclaim.

Time to completion is again reduced. The gains are mostly down to two things. In many cases, there is less scanning as zone_reclaim simply gives up faster due to recent failures. The second reason is that memory is used more efficiently. Instead of scanning the preferred zone every time, the allocator falls back to another zone and uses it instead improving overall memory utilisation. This patch: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim. The zonelist cache (ZLC) is used among other things to record if zone_reclaim() failed for a particular zone recently. The intention is to avoid a high cost scanning extremely long zonelists or scanning within the zone uselessly. Currently the zonelist cache is setup only after the first zone has been considered and zone_reclaim() has been called. The objective was to avoid a costly setup but zone_reclaim is itself quite expensive. If it is failing regularly such as the first eligible zone having mostly mapped pages, the cost in scanning and allocation stalls is far higher than the ZLC initialisation step. This patch initialises ZLC before the first eligible zone calls zone_reclaim(). Once initialised, it is checked whether the zone failed zone_reclaim recently. If it has, the zone is skipped. As the first zone is now being checked, additional care has to be taken about zones marked full. A zone can be marked "full" because it should not have enough unmapped pages for zone_reclaim but this is excessive as direct reclaim or kswapd may succeed where zone_reclaim fails. Only mark zones "full" after zone_reclaim fails if it failed to reclaim enough pages after scanning.

/* did not scan */
mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim There have been a small number of complaints about significant stalls while copying large amounts of data on NUMA machines reported on a distribution bugzilla. In these cases, zone_reclaim was enabled by default due to large NUMA distances. In general, the complaints have not been about the workload itself unless it was a file server (in which case the recommendation was disable zone_reclaim). The stalls are mostly due to significant amounts of time spent scanning the preferred zone for pages to free. After a failure, it might fallback to another node (as zonelists are often node-ordered rather than zone-ordered) but stall quickly again when the next allocation attempt occurs. In bad cases, each page allocated results in a full scan of the preferred zone. Patch 1 checks the preferred zone for recent allocation failure which is particularly important if zone_reclaim has failed recently. This avoids rescanning the zone in the near future and instead falling back to another node. This may hurt node locality in some cases but a failure to zone_reclaim is more expensive than a remote access. Patch 2 clears the zlc information after direct reclaim. Otherwise, zone_reclaim can mark zones full, direct reclaim can reclaim enough pages but the zone is still not considered for allocation. This was tested on a 24-thread 2-node x86_64 machine. The tests were focused on large amounts of IO. All tests were bound to the CPUs on node-0 to avoid disturbances due to processes being scheduled on different nodes.

Time to completion is again reduced. The gains are mostly down to two things. In many cases, there is less scanning as zone_reclaim simply gives up faster due to recent failures. The second reason is that memory is used more efficiently. Instead of scanning the preferred zone every time, the allocator falls back to another zone and uses it instead improving overall memory utilisation. This patch: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim. The zonelist cache (ZLC) is used among other things to record if zone_reclaim() failed for a particular zone recently. The intention is to avoid a high cost scanning extremely long zonelists or scanning within the zone uselessly. Currently the zonelist cache is setup only after the first zone has been considered and zone_reclaim() has been called. The objective was to avoid a costly setup but zone_reclaim is itself quite expensive. If it is failing regularly such as the first eligible zone having mostly mapped pages, the cost in scanning and allocation stalls is far higher than the ZLC initialisation step. This patch initialises ZLC before the first eligible zone calls zone_reclaim(). Once initialised, it is checked whether the zone failed zone_reclaim recently. If it has, the zone is skipped. As the first zone is now being checked, additional care has to be taken about zones marked full. A zone can be marked "full" because it should not have enough unmapped pages for zone_reclaim but this is excessive as direct reclaim or kswapd may succeed where zone_reclaim fails. Only mark zones "full" after zone_reclaim fails if it failed to reclaim enough pages after scanning.

This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about what occured when zone_reclaim() failued. The zone only gets marked full if it really is unreclaimable. If it's a case that the scan did not occur or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then the zone is simply skipped. There is a side-effect to this patch. Currently, if zone_reclaim() successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go ahead. With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after zone_reclaim() does some work.

It was not intended that zone_reclaim() aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct reclaim can still be an option. Due to the age of the bug, it should be considered a -stable candidate.

mm: page_alloc: avoid marking zones full prematurely after zone_reclaim() The following problem was reported against a distribution kernel when zone_reclaim was enabled but the same problem applies to the mainline kernel. The reproduction case was as follows 1. Run numactl -m +0 dd if=largefile of=/dev/null This allocates a large number of clean pages in node 0 2. numactl -N +0 memhog 0.5*Mg This start a memory-using application in node 0. The expected behaviour is that the clean pages get reclaimed and the application uses node 0 for its memory. The observed behaviour was that the memory for the memhog application was allocated off-node since commits cd38b115d5ad ("mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim") and commit 76d3fbf8fbf6 ("mm: page allocator: reconsider zones for allocation after direct reclaim"). The assumption of those patches was that it was always preferable to allocate quickly than stall for long periods of time and they were meant to take care that the zone was only marked full when necessary but an important case was missed. In the allocator fast path, only the low watermarks are checked. If the zones free pages are between the low and min watermark then allocations from the allocators slow path will succeed. However, zone_reclaim will only reclaim SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX or 1<<order pages. There is no guarantee that this will meet the low watermark causing the zone to be marked full prematurely. This patch will only mark the zone full after zone_reclaim if it the min watermarks are checked or if page reclaim failed to make sufficient progress.

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: 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: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page() The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages* functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change, along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations. The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION. The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks like this: struct alloc_context { struct zonelist *zonelist; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zone *preferred_zone; int classzone_idx; int migratetype; enum zone_type high_zoneidx; }; All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath() changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again (although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context. Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in Patch 2. Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be moved to a shared header. Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization.

This is not obvious and has at least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set correctly, see commit 8fb74b9fb2b1 ("mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page"). This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it needs to gain alloc_flags parameter. The call to prep_new_page is moved from buffered_rmqueue() to get_page_from_freelist(), which also leads to simpler code. An obsolete comment for buffered_rmqueue() is replaced. In addition to better maintainability there is a small reduction of code and stack usage for get_page_from_freelist(), which inlines the other functions involved. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-145 (-145) function old new delta get_page_from_freelist 2670 2525 -145 Stack usage is reduced from 184 to 168 bytes.

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.

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: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page() The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages* functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change, along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations. The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION. The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks like this: struct alloc_context { struct zonelist *zonelist; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zone *preferred_zone; int classzone_idx; int migratetype; enum zone_type high_zoneidx; }; All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath() changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again (although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context. Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in Patch 2. Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be moved to a shared header. Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization. Overall bloat-o-meter results: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 0/-460 (-460) function old new delta nr_free_zone_pages 129 115 -14 __alloc_pages_direct_compact 329 256 -73 get_page_from_freelist 2670 2576 -94 __alloc_pages_nodemask 2564 2285 -279 try_to_compact_pages 582 579 -3 Overall stack sizes per ./scripts/checkstack.pl: old new delta get_page_from_freelist: 184 184 0 __alloc_pages_nodemask 248 200 -48 __alloc_pages_direct_c 40 - -40 try_to_compact_pages 72 72 0 -88 [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140142462528257&w=2 This patch (of 4): prep_new_page() sets almost everything in the struct page of the page being allocated, except page->pfmemalloc. This is not obvious and has at least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set correctly, see commit 8fb74b9fb2b1 ("mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page"). This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it needs to gain alloc_flags parameter. The call to prep_new_page is moved from buffered_rmqueue() to get_page_from_freelist(), which also leads to simpler code. An obsolete comment for buffered_rmqueue() is replaced. In addition to better maintainability there is a small reduction of code and stack usage for get_page_from_freelist(), which inlines the other functions involved. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-145 (-145) function old new delta get_page_from_freelist 2670 2525 -145 Stack usage is reduced from 184 to 168 bytes.

mm: initialize pages on demand during boot Deferred page initialization allows the boot cpu to initialize a small subset of the system's pages early in boot, with other cpus doing the rest later on. It is, however, problematic to know how many pages the kernel needs during boot. Different modules and kernel parameters may change the requirement, so the boot cpu either initializes too many pages or runs out of memory. To fix that, initialize early pages on demand. This ensures the kernel does the minimum amount of work to initialize pages during boot and leaves the rest to be divided in the multithreaded initialization path (deferred_init_memmap). The on-demand code is permanently disabled using static branching once deferred pages are initialized. After the static branch is changed to false, the overhead is up-to two branch-always instructions if the zone watermark check fails or if rmqueue fails. Sergey Senozhatsky noticed that while deferred pages currently make sense only on NUMA machines (we start one thread per latency node), CONFIG_NUMA is not a requirement for CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, so that is also must be addressed in the patch.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.

mm: set page->pfmemalloc in prep_new_page() The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages* functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change, along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations. The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION. The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks like this: struct alloc_context { struct zonelist *zonelist; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zone *preferred_zone; int classzone_idx; int migratetype; enum zone_type high_zoneidx; }; All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath() changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again (although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context. Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in Patch 2. Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be moved to a shared header. Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization.

This is not obvious and has at least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set correctly, see commit 8fb74b9fb2b1 ("mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page"). This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it needs to gain alloc_flags parameter. The call to prep_new_page is moved from buffered_rmqueue() to get_page_from_freelist(), which also leads to simpler code. An obsolete comment for buffered_rmqueue() is replaced. In addition to better maintainability there is a small reduction of code and stack usage for get_page_from_freelist(), which inlines the other functions involved. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-145 (-145) function old new delta get_page_from_freelist 2670 2525 -145 Stack usage is reduced from 184 to 168 bytes.

[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and skipping them. Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct, to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.) Recent changes: This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones. This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones on that node were full. Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache", as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.) See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and (2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below. I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan, this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist(). There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa emulation case by caching the last useful zone: 1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems) have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have. This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though. The following approach should help such real numa systems just as much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof. 2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance, so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging. The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or zone sorting. See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does. Technical details of note (or controversy): - See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking. - Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this. Search for "MPOL_BIND". - Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently, with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data, and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling. The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones' (a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should all be self correcting after at most a one second delay. - This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another one or two new and distinct cache lines. - If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be (pleasantly) flabbergasted. - I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the lie to that claim. - I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node. =============== Performance - some benchmark results and analysis: This benchmark runs a memory hog program that uses multiple threads to touch alot of memory as quickly as it can. Multiple runs were made, touching 12, 38, 64 or 90 GBytes out of the total 96 GBytes on the system, and using 1, 19, 37, or 55 threads (on a 56 CPU system.) System, user and real (elapsed) timings were recorded for each run, shown in units of seconds, in the table below. Two kernels were tested - 2.6.18-mm3 and the same kernel with this zonelist caching patch added. The table also shows the percentage improvement the zonelist caching sys time is over (lower than) the stock *-mm kernel. number 2.6.18-mm3 zonelist-cache delta (< 0 good) percent GBs N ------------ -------------- ---------------- systime mem threads sys user real sys user real sys user real better 12 1 153 24 177 151 24 176 -2 0 -1 1% 12 19 99 22 8 99 22 8 0 0 0 0% 12 37 111 25 6 112 25 6 1 0 0 -0% 12 55 115 25 5 110 23 5 -5 -2 0 4% 38 1 502 74 576 497 73 570 -5 -1 -6 0% 38 19 426 78 48 373 76 39 -53 -2 -9 12% 38 37 544 83 36 547 82 36 3 -1 0 -0% 38 55 501 77 23 511 80 24 10 3 1 -1% 64 1 917 125 1042 890 124 1014 -27 -1 -28 2% 64 19 1118 138 119 965 141 103 -153 3 -16 13% 64 37 1202 151 94 1136 150 81 -66 -1 -13 5% 64 55 1118 141 61 1072 140 58 -46 -1 -3 4% 90 1 1342 177 1519 1275 174 1450 -67 -3 -69 4% 90 19 2392 199 192 2116 189 176 -276 -10 -16 11% 90 37 3313 238 175 2972 225 145 -341 -13 -30 10% 90 55 1948 210 104 1843 213 100 -105 3 -4 5% Notes: 1) This test ran a memory hog program that started a specified number N of threads, and had each thread allocate and touch 1/N'th of the total memory to be used in the test run in a single loop, writing a constant word to memory, one store every 4096 bytes. Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread. 2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns. The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run, for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds. 3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize the amount of background activity that might interfere. 4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM. 5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not. 6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs) ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a pleasantly parallizable workload. 7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist caching patch. Conclusions: * This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid heavy off node allocations. * For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings up to ten per-cent. * For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident.

Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types that are falling back. vanilla 3816 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 800845 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 33 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE patch 735 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 408135 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations. Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

[PATCH] VM: early zone reclaim This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back onto another zone. One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone. This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall. Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch 4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j" kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run: wall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps ---- ---- --- ---- ------ ------ No patch 1009 1384 847 258 298170 504402 w/patch, no reclaim 880 1376 667 288 254064 396745 w/patch & reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873 These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right after system boot. Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away. Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim (due to remote memory accesses).

mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

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: 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 82553a937f12 ("oom: invoke oom killer for __GFP_NOFAIL"). The changelog points out that the oom killer has to be invoked otherwise the request would be looping for ever. But this argument is rather weak because the OOM killer doesn't really guarantee a forward progress for those exceptional cases: - it will hardly help to form costly order which in turn can result in the system panic because of no oom killable task in the end - I believe we certainly do not want to put the system down just because there is a nasty driver asking for order-9 page with GFP_NOFAIL not realizing all the consequences. It is much better this request would loop for ever than the massive system disruption - lowmem is also highly unlikely to be freed during OOM killer - GFP_NOFS request could trigger while there is still a lot of memory pinned by filesystems. This patch simply removes the __GFP_NOFAIL special case in order to have a more clear semantic without surprising side effects.

This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic.

Note that the primary motivation for skipping the OOM killer is to prevent from pre-mature invocation. The exception has been added by commit 82553a937f12 ("oom: invoke oom killer for __GFP_NOFAIL"). The changelog points out that the oom killer has to be invoked otherwise the request would be looping for ever. But this argument is rather weak because the OOM killer doesn't really guarantee a forward progress for those exceptional cases: - it will hardly help to form costly order which in turn can result in the system panic because of no oom killable task in the end - I believe we certainly do not want to put the system down just because there is a nasty driver asking for order-9 page with GFP_NOFAIL not realizing all the consequences. It is much better this request would loop for ever than the massive system disruption - lowmem is also highly unlikely to be freed during OOM killer - GFP_NOFS request could trigger while there is still a lot of memory pinned by filesystems. This patch simply removes the __GFP_NOFAIL special case in order to have a more clear semantic without surprising side effects.

oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless Commit 5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter. The race window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed sufficient at the time of submission. Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a full solution. That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing exclusion, though. This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier. oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole OOM invocation. oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all currently running OOM killer invocations. Then it disable all the further OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims. Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp. unmark_oom_victim. The last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable(). Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier. The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be safe before. As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here. Same applies to the memcg OOM killer. out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and the callers are supposed to handle the situation. The page allocation path simply fails the allocation same as before. The page fault path will retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply complain to the log. Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite time, though, because - the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die on the way out from the exception) - it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not acceptable at this stage - it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks (try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and work queues are not frozen yet Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

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.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency and throughput on the individual job can be enormous. In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way to quantify resource pressure in the system. A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO, respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay accounting delays: cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache io: tasks are waiting for io completions These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages, and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs. To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s, 1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

mm, compaction: defer each zone individually instead of preferred zone When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async. Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period. Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction. But compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1) compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below: 1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set deferred compaction for the Normal zone. Another unrelated direct compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32 zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone. In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not defer compaction. In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32 directly. 2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on watermarks looking good. A direct compaction with preferred Normal zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal was still deferred. The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but won't. This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis instead of preferred zone. For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred() to decide if the zone should be skipped. If watermarks fail after compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called. The zone where watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is unsuccessful. When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is called for the zone containing the allocated page. This approach should approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was attempted and did not yield allocated page. There might be corner cases but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not guarantee that a page will be allocated. Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made more accurate. The did_some_progress output parameter of __alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered when direct reclaim sets it. During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc mmtests benchmark. The success here were previously made worse by commit 3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus not considered for compaction. On different machine, success rates were improved with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency and throughput on the individual job can be enormous. In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way to quantify resource pressure in the system. A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO, respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay accounting delays: cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache io: tasks are waiting for io completions These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages, and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs. To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s, 1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available"). The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early. In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have taken place since the patch was first written and tested. This patch partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e92 ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

mm, compaction: defer each zone individually instead of preferred zone When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async. Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period. Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction. But compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1) compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below: 1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set deferred compaction for the Normal zone. Another unrelated direct compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32 zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone. In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not defer compaction. In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32 directly. 2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on watermarks looking good. A direct compaction with preferred Normal zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal was still deferred. The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but won't. This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis instead of preferred zone. For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred() to decide if the zone should be skipped. If watermarks fail after compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called. The zone where watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is unsuccessful. When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is called for the zone containing the allocated page. This approach should approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was attempted and did not yield allocated page. There might be corner cases but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not guarantee that a page will be allocated. Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made more accurate. The did_some_progress output parameter of __alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered when direct reclaim sets it. During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc mmtests benchmark. The success here were previously made worse by commit 3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus not considered for compaction.

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.

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. [1] http://marc.info/?i=20160822093249.GA14916%40dhcp22.suse.cz%3E This patch (of 4): Commit 6b4e3181d7bd ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request") was intended as a quick fix of OOM regressions for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels. For a better long-term solution, we still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible after some more improvements in the following patches.

mm/page_alloc: bail out on fatal signal during reclaim/compaction retry attempt A customer experienced a low-memory situation and decided to issue a SIGKILL (i.e. a fatal signal). Instead of promptly terminating as one would expect, the aforementioned task remained unresponsive. Further investigation indicated that the task was "stuck" in the reclaim/compaction retry loop. Now, it does not make sense to retry compaction when a fatal signal is pending. In the context of try_to_compact_pages(), indeed COMPACT_SKIPPED can be returned; albeit, not every zone, on the zone list, would be considered in the case a fatal signal is found to be pending. Yet, in should_compact_retry(), given the last known compaction result, each zone, on the zone list, can be considered/or checked (see compaction_zonelist_suitable()). For example, if a zone was found to succeed, then reclaim/compaction would be tried again (notwithstanding the above). This patch ensures that compaction is not needlessly retried irrespective of the last known compaction result e.g. if it was skipped, in the unlikely case a fatal signal is found pending. So, OOM is at least attempted.

mm, compaction: raise compaction priority after it withdrawns Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being made." The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete compaction attempts. With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or should_compact_retry() returns false. The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like reclaim will be able to help.

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. [1] http://marc.info/?i=20160822093249.GA14916%40dhcp22.suse.cz%3E This patch (of 4): Commit 6b4e3181d7bd ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request") was intended as a quick fix of OOM regressions for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels. For a better long-term solution, we still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible after some more improvements in the following patches. This reverts commit 6b4e3181d7bd5ca5ab6f45929e4a5ffa7ab4ab7f.

static inline bool
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 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails"). It is clearly an implementation detail though and we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be able to cope with such eventuality. The only place in should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for compaction_withdrawn() case. Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed. In this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark check. The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation order. The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining memory for a single allocation request just unblock __compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further progress. The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further progress. !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g. order-2 pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

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.

The third patch restricts the hardened compaction to non-costly orders, since costly orders don't result in OOMs in the first place. [1] http://marc.info/?i=20160822093249.GA14916%40dhcp22.suse.cz%3E This patch (of 4): Commit 6b4e3181d7bd ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation for high order request") was intended as a quick fix of OOM regressions for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels. For a better long-term solution, we still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible after some more improvements in the following patches. This reverts commit 6b4e3181d7bd5ca5ab6f45929e4a5ffa7ab4ab7f.

mm: track mmu notifiers in fs_reclaim_acquire/release fs_reclaim_acquire/release nicely catch recursion issues when allocating GFP_KERNEL memory against shrinkers (which gpu drivers tend to use to keep the excessive caches in check). For mmu notifier recursions we do have lockdep annotations since 23b68395c7c7 ("mm/mmu_notifiers: add a lockdep map for invalidate_range_start/end"). But these only fire if a path actually results in some pte invalidation - for most small allocations that's very rarely the case. The other trouble is that pte invalidation can happen any time when __GFP_RECLAIM is set. Which means only really GFP_ATOMIC is a safe choice, GFP_NOIO isn't good enough to avoid potential mmu notifier recursion. I was pondering whether we should just do the general annotation, but there's always the risk for false positives. Plus I'm assuming that the core fs and io code is a lot better reviewed and tested than random mmu notifier code in drivers. Hence why I decide to only annotate for that specific case. Furthermore even if we'd create a lockdep map for direct reclaim, we'd still need to explicit pull in the mmu notifier map - there's a lot more places that do pte invalidation than just direct reclaim, these two contexts arent the same. Note that the mmu notifiers needing their own independent lockdep map is also the reason we can't hold them from fs_reclaim_acquire to fs_reclaim_release - it would nest with the acquistion in the pte invalidation code, causing a lockdep splat. And we can't remove the annotations from pte invalidation and all the other places since they're called from many other places than page reclaim. Hence we can only do the equivalent of might_lock, but on the raw lockdep map. With this we can also remove the lockdep priming added in 66204f1d2d1b ("mm/mmu_notifiers: prime lockdep") since the new annotations are strictly more powerful.

Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply propagates __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() is trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already grabbed the 'fake' lock. The /* this guy won't enter reclaim */ if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC)) return false; test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock was added by commit cf40bd16fdad ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS)"). But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread won't enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit 341ce06f69ab ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once") added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard ( /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */ if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) goto nopage; in __alloc_pages_slowpath()). Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and allow __need_fs_reclaim() to return false.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation Patrick Daly reported the following problem; NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation [0] - ZONE_MOVABLE [1] - ZONE_NORMAL [2] - NULL For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref. If a concurrent memory_offline operation removes the last page from ZONE_MOVABLE, build_all_zonelists() & build_zonerefs_node() will update node_zonelists as shown below. Only populated zones are added. NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation [0] - ZONE_NORMAL [1] - NULL [2] - NULL The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning etc). Memory hotplug had multiple stages with timing considerations around managed/present page updates, the zonelist rebuild and the zone span updates. As David Hildenbrand puts it memory offlining adjusts managed+present pages of the zone essentially in one go. If after the adjustments, the zone is no longer populated (present==0), we rebuild the zone lists. Once that's done, we try shrinking the zone (start+spanned pages) -- which results in zone_start_pfn == 0 if there are no more pages. That happens *after* rebuilding the zonelists via remove_pfn_range_from_zone().

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.

This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") and fff4068cba48 ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy"). Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones, including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds.

Remote nodes are only considered in the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely. Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds. This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up. However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could underflow more heavily.

Most recently, I was worried that __GFP_HIGH allocations could use high-order atomic reserves which is unintentional but there was no response so lets revisit -- this series reworks how min reserves are used, protects highorder reserves and then finishes with Neil's patch with very minor modifications so it fits on top. There was a review discussion on renaming __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM to __GFP_ALLOW_BLOCKING but I didn't think it was that big an issue and is orthogonal to the removal of __GFP_ATOMIC. There were some concerns about how the gfp flags affect the min reserves but it never reached a solid conclusion so I made my own attempt. The series tries to iron out some of the details on how reserves are used. ALLOC_HIGH becomes ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE and ALLOC_HARDER becomes ALLOC_NON_BLOCK and documents how the reserves are affected. For example, ALLOC_NON_BLOCK (no direct reclaim) on its own allows 25% of the min reserve. ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE (__GFP_HIGH) allows 50% and both combined allows deeper access again. ALLOC_OOM allows access to 75%. High-order atomic allocations are explicitly handled with the caveat that no __GFP_ATOMIC flag means that any high-order allocation that specifies GFP_HIGH and cannot enter direct reclaim will be treated as if it was GFP_ATOMIC. This patch (of 6): __GFP_HIGH aliases to ALLOC_HIGH but the name does not really hint what it means. As ALLOC_HIGH is internal to the allocator, rename it to ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE to document that the min reserves can be depleted.

mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However, there are two problems of this implementation. First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath, original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be allocated through the allocation fastpath even if memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual problem. Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target. To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude CMA area in page allocation. Main point of this change is using the alloc_flags. alloc_flags is mainly used to control allocation so it fits for excluding CMA area in allocation.

mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster. MICRO 3.5.0-rc2 3.5.0-rc2 vanilla swapnbd Unrecognised test vmscan-anon-mmap-write MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 197.80 173.07 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 206.96 182.03 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 3240.70 1762.09 This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster. MICRO 3.5.0-rc2 3.5.0-rc2 vanilla swapnbd Unrecognised test vmscan-anon-mmap-write MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 197.80 173.07 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 206.96 182.03 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 3240.70 1762.09 This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

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.

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,page_alloc: PF_WQ_WORKER threads must sleep at should_reclaim_retry() Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe5927034b5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") and lock up the system if OOM. The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others. Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point, let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more robust.

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, 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, 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 03668b3ceb0c ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations"). The exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot fail. If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact. This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. This is not ideal but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives. The impact it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the OOM killer. As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained allocations. In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation. While it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages. As those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in highmem. This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone stats as it is sufficient. In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to be removed.

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: throttle on IO only when there are too many dirty and writeback pages wait_iff_congested has been used to throttle allocator before it retried another round of direct reclaim to allow the writeback to make some progress and prevent reclaim from looping over dirty/writeback pages without making any progress. We used to do congestion_wait before commit 0e093d99763e ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") but that led to undesirable stalls and sleeping for the full timeout even when the BDI wasn't congested. Hence wait_iff_congested was used instead. But it seems that even wait_iff_congested doesn't work as expected. We might have a small file LRU list with all pages dirty/writeback and yet the bdi is not congested so this is just a cond_resched in the end and can end up triggering pre mature OOM. This patch replaces the unconditional wait_iff_congested by congestion_wait which is executed only if we _know_ that the last round of direct reclaim didn't make any progress and dirty+writeback pages are more than a half of the reclaimable pages on the zone which might be usable for our target allocation. This shouldn't reintroduce stalls fixed by 0e093d99763e because congestion_wait is called only when we are getting hopeless when sleeping is a better choice than OOM with many pages under IO. We have to preserve logic introduced by commit 373ccbe59270 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") into the __alloc_pages_slowpath now that wait_iff_congested is not used anymore. As the only remaining user of wait_iff_congested is shrink_inactive_list we can remove the WQ specific short sleep from wait_iff_congested because the sleep is needed to be done only once in the allocation retry cycle.

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: PF_WQ_WORKER threads must sleep at should_reclaim_retry() Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe5927034b5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") and lock up the system if OOM. The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others. Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point, let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more robust.

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, 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. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4c44a589-5fd8-08d0-892c-e893bb525b71@suse.cz [2] https://lwn.net/Articles/717797/ [3] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=149191957922828&w=2 This patch (of 6): Commit e47483bca2cc ("mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update") has fixed known recent regressions found by LTP's cpuset01 testcase. I have however found that by modifying the testcase to use per-vma mempolicies via bind(2) instead of per-task mempolicies via set_mempolicy(2), the premature OOM still happens and the issue is much older. The root of the problem is that the cpuset's mems_allowed and mempolicy's nodemask can temporarily have no intersection, thus get_page_from_freelist() cannot find any usable zone. The current semantic for empty intersection is to ignore mempolicy's nodemask and honour cpuset restrictions. This is checked in node_zonelist(), but the racy update can happen after we already passed the check. Such races should be protected by the seqlock task->mems_allowed_seq, but it doesn't work here, because 1) mpol_rebind_mm() does not happen under seqlock for write, and doing so would lead to deadlock, as it takes mmap_sem for write, while the allocation can have mmap_sem for read when it's taking the seqlock for read. And 2) the seqlock cookie of callers of node_zonelist() (alloc_pages_vma() and alloc_pages_current()) is different than the one of __alloc_pages_slowpath(), so there's still a potential race window. This patch fixes the issue by having __alloc_pages_slowpath() check for empty intersection of cpuset and ac->nodemask before OOM or allocation failure. If it's indeed empty, the nodemask is ignored and allocation retried, which mimics node_zonelist(). This works fine, because almost all callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask are obtaining the nodemask via node_zonelist(). The only exception is new_node_page() from hotplug, where the potential violation of nodemask isn't an issue, as there's already a fallback allocation attempt without any nodemask. If there's a future caller that needs to have its specific nodemask honoured over task's cpuset restrictions, we'll have to e.g. add a gfp flag for that.

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, 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: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation Patrick Daly reported the following problem; NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation [0] - ZONE_MOVABLE [1] - ZONE_NORMAL [2] - NULL For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref. If a concurrent memory_offline operation removes the last page from ZONE_MOVABLE, build_all_zonelists() & build_zonerefs_node() will update node_zonelists as shown below. Only populated zones are added. NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation [0] - ZONE_NORMAL [1] - NULL [2] - NULL The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning etc). Memory hotplug had multiple stages with timing considerations around managed/present page updates, the zonelist rebuild and the zone span updates.

mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation Patrick Daly reported the following problem; NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation [0] - ZONE_MOVABLE [1] - ZONE_NORMAL [2] - NULL For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref.

The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning etc).

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 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we fix the preferred_zoneref once, and don't iterate over the whole zonelist in further attempts, thus the only eligible zones might be placed in the zonelist before our starting point and we always miss them. A previous patch fixed this problem for current->mems_allowed. However, cpuset changes also update the task's mempolicy nodemask. The fix has two parts. We have to repeat the preferred_zoneref search when we detect cpuset update by way of seqcount, and we have to check the seqcount before considering OOM.

The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope. The only reasonable measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller to deal with it. So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and bail out early returning NULL for the allocation. As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone.

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: 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.

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, thp: tweak reclaim/compaction effort of local-only and all-node allocations THP page faults now attempt a __GFP_THISNODE allocation first, which should only compact existing free memory, followed by another attempt that can allocate from any node using reclaim/compaction effort specified by global defrag setting and madvise. This patch makes the following changes to the scheme: - Before the patch, the first allocation relies on a check for pageblock order and __GFP_IO to prevent excessive reclaim. This however affects also the second attempt, which is not limited to single node. Instead of that, reuse the existing check for costly order __GFP_NORETRY allocations, and make sure the first THP attempt uses __GFP_NORETRY. As a side-effect, all costly order __GFP_NORETRY allocations will bail out if compaction needs reclaim, while previously they only bailed out when compaction was deferred due to previous failures. This should be still acceptable within the __GFP_NORETRY semantics. - Before the patch, the second allocation attempt (on all nodes) was passing __GFP_NORETRY. This is redundant as the check for pageblock order (discussed above) was stronger. It's also contrary to madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) which means some effort to allocate THP is requested. After this patch, the second attempt doesn't pass __GFP_THISNODE nor __GFP_NORETRY. To sum up, THP page faults now try the following attempts: 1. local node only THP allocation with no reclaim, just compaction. 2. for madvised VMA's or when synchronous compaction is enabled always - THP allocation from any node with effort determined by global defrag setting and VMA madvise 3. fallback to base pages on any node Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/08a3f4dd-c3ce-0009-86c5-9ee51aba8557@suse.cz Fixes: b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed") Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation order increases, specifically: - isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory starting at the end of a zone, - failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above, watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with no indication compaction can be successful), and - if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often be pointless. For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication that compaction would even be successful. Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim). This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if compaction is deferred. It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

mm, hugetlb: allow hugepage allocations to reclaim as needed Commit b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed") has chnaged the allocator to bail out from the allocator early to prevent from a potentially excessive memory reclaim. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL is designed to retry the allocation, reclaim and compaction loop as long as there is a reasonable chance to make forward progress. Neither COMPACT_SKIPPED nor COMPACT_DEFERRED at the INIT_COMPACT_PRIORITY compaction attempt gives this feedback. The most obvious affected subsystem is hugetlbfs which allocates huge pages based on an admin request (or via admin configured overcommit). I have done a simple test which tries to allocate half of the memory for hugetlb pages while the memory is full of a clean page cache. This is not an unusual situation because we try to cache as much of the memory as possible and sysctl/sysfs interface to allocate huge pages is there for flexibility to allocate hugetlb pages at any time. System has 1GB of RAM and we are requesting 515MB worth of hugetlb pages after the memory is prefilled by a clean page cache: root@test1:~# cat hugetlb_test.sh set -x echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=$((4<<10)) TS=$(date +%s) echo 256 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages The results for 2 consecutive runs on clean 5.3 root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.0694 s, 51.0 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905284 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 256 root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.7548 s, 49.4 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905311 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 256 Now with b39d0ee2632d applied root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 20.1815 s, 53.2 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905516 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 11 root@test1:~# sh hugetlb_test.sh + echo 0 + echo 3 + echo 1 + dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=4096 262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 21.9485 s, 48.9 MB/s + date +%s + TS=1569905541 + echo 256 + cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 12 The success rate went down by factor of 20! Although hugetlb allocation requests might fail and it is reasonable to expect them to under extremely fragmented memory or when the memory is under a heavy pressure but the above situation is not that case. Fix the regression by reverting back to the previous behavior for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL requests and disable the beail out heuristic for those requests. Mike said: : hugetlbfs allocations are commonly done via sysctl/sysfs shortly after : boot where this may not be as much of an issue. However, I am aware of at : least three use cases where allocations are made after the system has been : up and running for quite some time: : : - DB reconfiguration.

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.

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, 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).

* using async compaction.
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, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

mm, page_alloc: actually ignore mempolicies for high priority allocations __alloc_pages_slowpath() has for a long time contained code to ignore node restrictions from memory policies for high priority allocations. The current code that resets the zonelist iterator however does effectively nothing after commit 7810e6781e0f ("mm, page_alloc: do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset") removed a buggy zonelist reset. Even before that commit, mempolicy restrictions were still not ignored, as they are passed in ac->nodemask which is untouched by the code. We can either remove the code, or make it work as intended. Since ac->nodemask can be set from task's mempolicy via alloc_pages_current() and thus also alloc_pages(), it may indeed affect kernel allocations, and it makes sense to ignore it to allow progress for high priority allocations. Thus, this patch resets ac->nodemask to NULL in such cases. This assumes all callers can handle it (i.e. there are no guarantees as in the case of __GFP_THISNODE) which seems to be the case. The same assumption is already present in check_retry_cpuset() for some time. The expected effect is that high priority kernel allocations in the context of userspace tasks (e.g. OOM victims) restricted by mempolicies will have higher chance to succeed if they are restricted to nodes with depleted memory, while there are other nodes with free memory left. It's not a new intention, but for the first time the code will match the intention, AFAICS. It was intended by commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") in v3.6 but I think it never really worked, as mempolicy restriction was already encoded in nodemask, not zonelist, at that time. So originally that was for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK only. Then it was adjusted by e46e7b77c909 ("mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies") and cd04ae1e2dc8 ("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access") to the current state. So even GFP_ATOMIC would now ignore mempolicies after the initial attempts fail - if the code worked as people thought it does.

Since ac->nodemask can be set from task's mempolicy via alloc_pages_current() and thus also alloc_pages(), it may indeed affect kernel allocations, and it makes sense to ignore it to allow progress for high priority allocations. Thus, this patch resets ac->nodemask to NULL in such cases. This assumes all callers can handle it (i.e. there are no guarantees as in the case of __GFP_THISNODE) which seems to be the case. The same assumption is already present in check_retry_cpuset() for some time. The expected effect is that high priority kernel allocations in the context of userspace tasks (e.g. OOM victims) restricted by mempolicies will have higher chance to succeed if they are restricted to nodes with depleted memory, while there are other nodes with free memory left. It's not a new intention, but for the first time the code will match the intention, AFAICS. It was intended by commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") in v3.6 but I think it never really worked, as mempolicy restriction was already encoded in nodemask, not zonelist, at that time. So originally that was for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK only. Then it was adjusted by e46e7b77c909 ("mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies") and cd04ae1e2dc8 ("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access") to the current state. So even GFP_ATOMIC would now ignore mempolicies after the initial attempts fail - if the code worked as people thought it does.

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, 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: 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: 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, 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.

/*
* Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are
mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic __GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

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, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic __GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

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.

goto retry;
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, 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 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails"). It is clearly an implementation detail though and we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be able to cope with such eventuality. The only place in should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for compaction_withdrawn() case. Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed. In this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark check. The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation order. The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining memory for a single allocation request just unblock __compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further progress. The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further progress. !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g. order-2 pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

goto retry;
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. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4c44a589-5fd8-08d0-892c-e893bb525b71@suse.cz [2] https://lwn.net/Articles/717797/ [3] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=149191957922828&w=2 This patch (of 6): Commit e47483bca2cc ("mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update") has fixed known recent regressions found by LTP's cpuset01 testcase. I have however found that by modifying the testcase to use per-vma mempolicies via bind(2) instead of per-task mempolicies via set_mempolicy(2), the premature OOM still happens and the issue is much older. The root of the problem is that the cpuset's mems_allowed and mempolicy's nodemask can temporarily have no intersection, thus get_page_from_freelist() cannot find any usable zone. The current semantic for empty intersection is to ignore mempolicy's nodemask and honour cpuset restrictions. This is checked in node_zonelist(), but the racy update can happen after we already passed the check. Such races should be protected by the seqlock task->mems_allowed_seq, but it doesn't work here, because 1) mpol_rebind_mm() does not happen under seqlock for write, and doing so would lead to deadlock, as it takes mmap_sem for write, while the allocation can have mmap_sem for read when it's taking the seqlock for read. And 2) the seqlock cookie of callers of node_zonelist() (alloc_pages_vma() and alloc_pages_current()) is different than the one of __alloc_pages_slowpath(), so there's still a potential race window. This patch fixes the issue by having __alloc_pages_slowpath() check for empty intersection of cpuset and ac->nodemask before OOM or allocation failure. If it's indeed empty, the nodemask is ignored and allocation retried, which mimics node_zonelist(). This works fine, because almost all callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask are obtaining the nodemask via node_zonelist(). The only exception is new_node_page() from hotplug, where the potential violation of nodemask isn't an issue, as there's already a fallback allocation attempt without any nodemask. If there's a future caller that needs to have its specific nodemask honoured over task's cpuset restrictions, we'll have to e.g. add a gfp flag for that.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation Patrick Daly reported the following problem; NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - before offline operation [0] - ZONE_MOVABLE [1] - ZONE_NORMAL [2] - NULL For a GFP_KERNEL allocation, alloc_pages_slowpath() will save the offset of ZONE_NORMAL in ac->preferred_zoneref. If a concurrent memory_offline operation removes the last page from ZONE_MOVABLE, build_all_zonelists() & build_zonerefs_node() will update node_zonelists as shown below. Only populated zones are added. NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation [0] - ZONE_NORMAL [1] - NULL [2] - NULL The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning etc). Memory hotplug had multiple stages with timing considerations around managed/present page updates, the zonelist rebuild and the zone span updates. As David Hildenbrand puts it memory offlining adjusts managed+present pages of the zone essentially in one go. If after the adjustments, the zone is no longer populated (present==0), we rebuild the zone lists. Once that's done, we try shrinking the zone (start+spanned pages) -- which results in zone_start_pfn == 0 if there are no more pages. That happens *after* rebuilding the zonelists via remove_pfn_range_from_zone(). The only requirement to fix the race is that a page allocation request identifies when a zonelist rebuild has happened since the allocation request started and no page has yet been allocated. Use a seqlock_t to track zonelist updates with a lockless read-side of the zonelist and protecting the rebuild and update of the counter with a spinlock.

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 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we fix the preferred_zoneref once, and don't iterate over the whole zonelist in further attempts, thus the only eligible zones might be placed in the zonelist before our starting point and we always miss them. A previous patch fixed this problem for current->mems_allowed. However, cpuset changes also update the task's mempolicy nodemask. The fix has two parts. We have to repeat the preferred_zoneref search when we detect cpuset update by way of seqcount, and we have to check the seqcount before considering OOM.

GFP_NOFAIL is hard to follow currently. There are few special cases but we are lacking a catch all place to be sure we will not miss any case where the non failing allocation might fail. This patch reorganizes the code a bit and puts all those special cases under nopage label which is the generic go-to-fail path. Non failing allocations are retried or those that cannot retry like non-sleeping allocation go to the failure point directly. This should make the code flow much easier to follow and make it less error prone for future changes.

/* Avoid allocations with no watermarks from looping endlessly */
mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation, though. First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on. Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed. Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread was not the group leader. Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable after 1b51e65eab64 ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so aggressive to starve oom victims completely. Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely TIF_MEMDIE free finally. CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach. There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However, there are two problems of this implementation. First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath, original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be allocated through the allocation fastpath even if memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual problem. Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target. To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude CMA area in page allocation. Main point of this change is using the alloc_flags. alloc_flags is mainly used to control allocation so it fits for excluding CMA area in allocation.

This is a side effect of commit 9a67f6488eca926f ("mm: consolidate GFP_NOFAIL checks in the allocator slowpath") because that commit silently changed the behavior from /* Avoid allocations with no watermarks from looping endlessly */ to /* * Give up allocations without trying memory reserves if selected * as an OOM victim */ in __alloc_pages_slowpath() by moving the location to check TIF_MEMDIE flag. I have noticed this change but I didn't post a patch because I thought it is an acceptable change other than noise by warn_alloc() because !__GFP_NOFAIL allocations are allowed to fail. But we overlooked that failing memory allocation from page fault path makes difference due to the race window explained above. While it might be possible to add a check to pagefault_out_of_memory() that prevents the first victim from calling out_of_memory() or remove out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory(), changing pagefault_out_of_memory() does not suppress noise by warn_alloc() when allocating thread was selected as an OOM victim. There is little point with printing similar backtraces and memory information from both out_of_memory() and warn_alloc(). Instead, if we guarantee that current thread can try allocations with no watermarks once when current thread looping inside __alloc_pages_slowpath() was selected as an OOM victim, we can follow "who can use memory reserves" rules and suppress noise by warn_alloc() and prevent memory allocations from page fault path from calling pagefault_out_of_memory(). If we take the comment literally, this patch would do - if (test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE)) - goto nopage; + if (alloc_flags == ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS || (gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC)) + goto nopage; because gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed() returns false if __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is given. But if I recall correctly (I couldn't find the message), the condition is meant to apply to only OOM victims despite the comment. Therefore, this patch preserves TIF_MEMDIE check.

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.

Only populated zones are added. NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists[ZONELIST_FALLBACK] - after offline operation [0] - ZONE_NORMAL [1] - NULL [2] - NULL The race is simple -- page allocation could be in progress when a memory hot-remove operation triggers a zonelist rebuild that removes zones. The allocation request will still have a valid ac->preferred_zoneref that is now pointing to NULL and triggers an OOM kill. This problem probably always existed but may be slightly easier to trigger due to 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") which distinguishes between zones that are completely unpopulated versus zones that have valid pages not managed by the buddy allocator (e.g. reserved, memblock, ballooning etc). Memory hotplug had multiple stages with timing considerations around managed/present page updates, the zonelist rebuild and the zone span updates. As David Hildenbrand puts it memory offlining adjusts managed+present pages of the zone essentially in one go. If after the adjustments, the zone is no longer populated (present==0), we rebuild the zone lists. Once that's done, we try shrinking the zone (start+spanned pages) -- which results in zone_start_pfn == 0 if there are no more pages. That happens *after* rebuilding the zonelists via remove_pfn_range_from_zone(). The only requirement to fix the race is that a page allocation request identifies when a zonelist rebuild has happened since the allocation request started and no page has yet been allocated. Use a seqlock_t to track zonelist updates with a lockless read-side of the zonelist and protecting the rebuild and update of the counter with a spinlock.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster.

To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

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.

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.

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/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: add a bulk page allocator This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and __alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be allocated and added to a list. The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if necessary. Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it available early to determine what semantics are required by different callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

mm/page_alloc: avoid page allocator recursion with pagesets.lock held Syzbot is reporting potential deadlocks due to pagesets.lock when PAGE_OWNER is enabled.

The page owner code could be audited to strip GFP flags that allow sleeping but it'll impair the functionality of PAGE_OWNER if allocations fail. The bulk allocator could add a special case to release/reacquire the lock for prep_new_page and lookup PCP after the lock is reacquired at the cost of performance. The pages requiring prep could be tracked using the least significant bit and looping through the array although it is more complicated for the list interface. The options are relatively complex and the second one still incurs a performance penalty when PAGE_OWNER is active so this patch takes the simple approach -- disable bulk allocation of PAGE_OWNER is active. The caller will be forced to allocate one page at a time incurring a performance penalty but PAGE_OWNER is already a performance penalty.

mm/page_alloc: add a bulk page allocator This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and __alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be allocated and added to a list. The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if necessary. Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it available early to determine what semantics are required by different callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be drained remotely using a lock for protection. While the use of local_lock works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst) local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is accessed and the pcp->lock acquired. The lock acquisition is a preemption point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and accidentally allocate remote memory. The main requirement is to pin the task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT. Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock. It's similar to local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API. It is not a complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use get_cpu_var due to RT concerns. PCP requires these semantics to avoid accidentally allocating remote memory.

mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented.

mm/page_alloc: always attempt to allocate at least one page during bulk allocation Peter Pavlisko reported the following problem on kernel bugzilla 216007. When I try to extract an uncompressed tar archive (2.6 milion files, 760.3 GiB in size) on newly created (empty) XFS file system, after first low tens of gigabytes extracted the process hangs in iowait indefinitely. One CPU core is 100% occupied with iowait, the other CPU core is idle (on 2-core Intel Celeron G1610T). It was bisected to c9fa563072e1 ("xfs: use alloc_pages_bulk_array() for buffers") but XFS is only the messenger. The problem is that nothing is waking kswapd to reclaim some pages at a time the PCP lists cannot be refilled until some reclaim happens. The bulk allocator checks that there are some pages in the array and the original intent was that a bulk allocator did not necessarily need all the requested pages and it was best to return as quickly as possible. This was fine for the first user of the API but both NFS and XFS require the requested number of pages be available before making progress. Both could be adjusted to call the page allocator directly if a bulk allocation fails but it puts a burden on users of the API. Adjust the semantics to attempt at least one allocation via __alloc_pages() before returning so kswapd is woken if necessary.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: further fix __alloc_pages_bulk() return value The author of commit b3b64ebd3822 ("mm/page_alloc: do bulk array bounds check after checking populated elements") was possibly confused by the mixture of return values throughout the function. The API contract is clear that the function "Returns the number of pages on the list or array." It does not list zero as a unique return value with a special meaning. Therefore zero is a plausible return value only if @nr_pages is zero or less. Clean up the return logic to make it clear that the returned value is always the total number of pages in the array/list, not the number of pages that were allocated during this call. The only change in behavior with this patch is the value returned if prepare_alloc_pages() fails. To match the API contract, the number of pages currently in the array/list is returned in this case. The call site in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow() also seems to be confused on this matter. It should be attended to by someone who is familiar with that code.

mm/page_alloc: add a bulk page allocator This patch adds a new page allocator interface via alloc_pages_bulk, and __alloc_pages_bulk_nodemask. A caller requests a number of pages to be allocated and added to a list. The API is not guaranteed to return the requested number of pages and may fail if the preferred allocation zone has limited free memory, the cpuset changes during the allocation or page debugging decides to fail an allocation. It's up to the caller to request more pages in batch if necessary. Note that this implementation is not very efficient and could be improved but it would require refactoring. The intent is to make it available early to determine what semantics are required by different callers. Once the full semantics are nailed down, it can be refactored.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is expensive. As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed. The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after this patch relative to before the series. struct per_cpu_pages { spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */ int count; /* 4 4 */ int high; /* 8 4 */ int batch; /* 12 4 */ short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */ short int expire; /* 18 2 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */ /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 24 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.

mm/page_alloc: further fix __alloc_pages_bulk() return value The author of commit b3b64ebd3822 ("mm/page_alloc: do bulk array bounds check after checking populated elements") was possibly confused by the mixture of return values throughout the function. The API contract is clear that the function "Returns the number of pages on the list or array." It does not list zero as a unique return value with a special meaning. Therefore zero is a plausible return value only if @nr_pages is zero or less. Clean up the return logic to make it clear that the returned value is always the total number of pages in the array/list, not the number of pages that were allocated during this call. The only change in behavior with this patch is the value returned if prepare_alloc_pages() fails. To match the API contract, the number of pages currently in the array/list is returned in this case. The call site in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow() also seems to be confused on this matter. It should be attended to by someone who is familiar with that code.

mm: apply per-task gfp constraints in fast path Function current_gfp_context() is called after fast path. However, soon we will add more constraints which will also limit zones based on context. Move this call into fast path, and apply the correct constraints for all allocations. Also update .reclaim_idx based on value returned by current_gfp_context() because it soon will modify the allowed zones. Note: With this patch we will do one extra current->flags load during fast path, but we already load current->flags in fast-path: __alloc_pages() prepare_alloc_pages() current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, *alloc_flags); Later, when we add the zone constrain logic to current_gfp_context() we will be able to remove current->flags load from current_alloc_flags, and therefore return fast-path to the current performance level.

mm: apply per-task gfp constraints in fast path Function current_gfp_context() is called after fast path. However, soon we will add more constraints which will also limit zones based on context. Move this call into fast path, and apply the correct constraints for all allocations. Also update .reclaim_idx based on value returned by current_gfp_context() because it soon will modify the allowed zones. Note: With this patch we will do one extra current->flags load during fast path, but we already load current->flags in fast-path: __alloc_pages() prepare_alloc_pages() current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, *alloc_flags); Later, when we add the zone constrain logic to current_gfp_context() we will be able to remove current->flags load from current_alloc_flags, and therefore return fast-path to the current performance level.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in the future.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

The allocation success rate is high enough that the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

Note: With this patch we will do one extra current->flags load during fast path, but we already load current->flags in fast-path: __alloc_pages() prepare_alloc_pages() current_alloc_flags(gfp_mask, *alloc_flags); Later, when we add the zone constrain logic to current_gfp_context() we will be able to remove current->flags load from current_alloc_flags, and therefore return fast-path to the current performance level.

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.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

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: 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: make page pfmemalloc check more robust Commit c48a11c7ad26 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc(): if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping) skb->pfmemalloc = true; It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be trusted. However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping to NULL and leave page->index value alone. Due to being in union, a non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc. So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page. And it seems it can. We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf. There is no copying going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the server which has been dropped and thus never arrive. The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead. We can reuse the index again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL). This is the page index so it should never see the value that large. Replace all direct users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this nastiness from unspoiled eyes. The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is really needed (e.g. what SLAB and SLUB do).

page_frag: Recover from memory pressure The ethernet driver may allocate skb (and skb->data) via napi_alloc_skb(). This ends up to page_frag_alloc() to allocate skb->data from page_frag_cache->va. During the memory pressure, page_frag_cache->va may be allocated as pfmemalloc page. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true as skb->data is from page_frag_cache->va. The skb will be dropped if the sock (receiver) does not have SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is expected behaviour under memory pressure. However, once kernel is not under memory pressure any longer (suppose large amount of memory pages are just reclaimed), the page_frag_alloc() may still re-use the prior pfmemalloc page_frag_cache->va to allocate skb->data. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true unless page_frag_cache->va is re-allocated, even if the kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Here is how kernel runs into issue. 1. The kernel is under memory pressure and allocation of PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_ORDER in __page_frag_cache_refill() will fail. Instead, the pfmemalloc page is allocated for page_frag_cache->va. 2: All skb->data from page_frag_cache->va (pfmemalloc) will have skb->pfmemalloc=true. The skb will always be dropped by sock without SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is an expected behaviour. 3. Suppose a large amount of pages are reclaimed and kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. We expect skb->pfmemalloc drop will not happen. 4. Unfortunately, page_frag_alloc() does not proactively re-allocate page_frag_alloc->va and will always re-use the prior pfmemalloc page. The skb->pfmemalloc is always true even kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Fix this by freeing and re-allocating the page instead of recycling it.

mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most distant node. As we do not know how many populated zones we will have in each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of the zonelist by a NULL zone. While this is functionally correct it is quite suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation or hit the OOM killer in the worst case. We can do much better, though. We can store the node ordering into an already existing node_order array and then give this array to build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once. zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures. While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the updated index for the next iteration. Let's rename the function to build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it zoneref array to update. The function doesn't the index anymore. It just returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance the zonered array start for the next update. This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it is merely a preparatory work for later changes.

mm, page_alloc: fix build_zonerefs_node() Since commit 6aa303defb74 ("mm, vmscan: only allocate and reclaim from zones with pages managed by the buddy allocator") only zones with free memory are included in a built zonelist. This is problematic when e.g. all memory of a zone has been ballooned out when zonelists are being rebuilt. The decision whether to rebuild the zonelists when onlining new memory is done based on populated_zone() returning 0 for the zone the memory will be added to. The new zone is added to the zonelists only, if it has free memory pages (managed_zone() returns a non-zero value) after the memory has been onlined. This implies, that onlining memory will always free the added pages to the allocator immediately, but this is not true in all cases: when e.g. running as a Xen guest the onlined new memory will be added only to the ballooned memory list, it will be freed only when the guest is being ballooned up afterwards. Another problem with using managed_zone() for the decision whether a zone is being added to the zonelists is, that a zone with all memory used will in fact be removed from all zonelists in case the zonelists happen to be rebuilt. Use populated_zone() when building a zonelist as it has been done before that commit. There was a report that QubesOS (based on Xen) is hitting this problem. Xen has switched to use the zone device functionality in kernel 5.9 and QubesOS wants to use memory hotplugging for guests in order to be able to start a guest with minimal memory and expand it as needed. This was the report leading to the patch.

change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6. This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable. Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based. [Default Order] The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically. [Node-based Order] This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones (ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist. current 2.6.21 kernel uses this. Pros. * A user can expect local memory as much as possible. Cons. * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL. Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. [Zone-based order] This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist. Pros. * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted. Cons. * memory locality may not be best. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd. command: %echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order. command: %echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration. Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days. I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but it made patch 6 easier to implement. Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_ is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing anything. Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking my thinking. This patch (of 9): Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones. This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem pressure doesn't need to reclaim. Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or the sysctl.

Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based. [Default Order] The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically. [Node-based Order] This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones (ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist. current 2.6.21 kernel uses this. Pros. * A user can expect local memory as much as possible. Cons. * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL. Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. [Zone-based order] This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist. Pros. * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted. Cons. * memory locality may not be best. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd. command: %echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order. command: %echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

mm/numa: automatically generate node migration order Patch series "Migrate Pages in lieu of discard", v11. We're starting to see systems with more and more kinds of memory such as Intel's implementation of persistent memory. Let's say you have a system with some DRAM and some persistent memory. Today, once DRAM fills up, reclaim will start and some of the DRAM contents will be thrown out. Allocations will, at some point, start falling over to the slower persistent memory. That has two nasty properties. First, the newer allocations can end up in the slower persistent memory. Second, reclaimed data in DRAM are just discarded even if there are gobs of space in persistent memory that could be used. This patchset implements a solution to these problems. At the end of the reclaim process in shrink_page_list() just before the last page refcount is dropped, the page is migrated to persistent memory instead of being dropped. While I've talked about a DRAM/PMEM pairing, this approach would function in any environment where memory tiers exist. This is not perfect. It "strands" pages in slower memory and never brings them back to fast DRAM. Huang Ying has follow-on work which repurposes NUMA balancing to promote hot pages back to DRAM. This is also all based on an upstream mechanism that allows persistent memory to be onlined and used as if it were volatile: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124231441.37A4A305@viggo.jf.intel.com With that, the DRAM and PMEM in each socket will be represented as 2 separate NUMA nodes, with the CPUs sit in the DRAM node. So the general inter-NUMA demotion mechanism introduced in the patchset can migrate the cold DRAM pages to the PMEM node. We have tested the patchset with the postgresql and pgbench. On a 2-socket server machine with DRAM and PMEM, the kernel with the patchset can improve the score of pgbench up to 22.1% compared with that of the DRAM only + disk case. This comes from the reduced disk read throughput (which reduces up to 70.8%). == Open Issues == * Memory policies and cpusets that, for instance, restrict allocations to DRAM can be demoted to PMEM whenever they opt in to this new mechanism. A cgroup-level API to opt-in or opt-out of these migrations will likely be required as a follow-on. * Could be more aggressive about where anon LRU scanning occurs since it no longer necessarily involves I/O. get_scan_count() for instance says: "If we have no swap space, do not bother scanning anon pages" This patch (of 9): Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a node migration table. This allows creating single migration target for each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead of simply discarding colder pages. A node with no target is a "terminal node", so reclaim acts normally there. The migration target does not fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts there to limit complexity. When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be automatically migrated to another node. The biggest problems are knowing when to migrate and to where the migration should be targeted. The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list would be to follow the page allocator fallback lists. Those lists already tell us if memory is full where to look next. It would also be logical to move memory in that order. But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes appear in all the lists. This would potentially lead to migration cycles (A->B, B->A, A->B, ...). Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a separate node migration ordering. But, reuse the same data used to generate page allocator fallback in the first place: find_next_best_node(). This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances essentially dictates the ordering for now. It should also be architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working find_next_best_node(). RCU is used to allow lock-less read of node_demotion[] and prevent demotion cycles been observed. If multiple reads of node_demotion[] are performed, a single rcu_read_lock() must be held over all reads to ensure no cycles are observed. Details are as follows. === What does RCU provide? === Imagine a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking for the last node: terminal_node = start_node; while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) { terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node]; } The initial values are: node_demotion[0] = 1; node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE; and are updated to: node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE; node_demotion[1] = 0; What guarantees that the cycle is not observed: node_demotion[0] = 1; node_demotion[1] = 0; and would loop forever? With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the loop. Since the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop that observed the old contents is known to be complete before the synchronize_rcu() has completed. RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that the old migration state is not visible by the time __set_migration_target_nodes() is called. === What does READ_ONCE() provide? === READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering successive reads of node_demotion[]. This ensures that any updates are *eventually* observed. Consider the above loop again. The compiler could theoretically read the entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage (registers) and never go back to memory, and *permanently* observe bad values for node_demotion[]. Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering guarantees: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150921204327.GH4029@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ This code is unused for now. It will be called later in the series.

mm: page_alloc: skip memoryless nodes entirely Patch series "handle memoryless nodes more appropriately", v3. Currently, in the process of initialization or offline memory, memoryless nodes will still be built into the fallback list of itself or other nodes. This is not what we expected, so this patch series removes memoryless nodes from the fallback list entirely. This patch (of 2): In find_next_best_node(), we skipped the memoryless nodes when building the zonelists of other normal nodes (N_NORMAL), but did not skip the memoryless node itself when building the zonelist. This will cause it to be traversed at runtime. For example, say we have node0 and node1, node0 is memoryless node, then the fallback order of node0 and node1 as follows: [ 0.153005] Fallback order for Node 0: 0 1 [ 0.153564] Fallback order for Node 1: 1 After this patch, we skip memoryless node0 entirely, then the fallback order of node0 and node1 as follows: [ 0.155236] Fallback order for Node 0: 1 [ 0.155806] Fallback order for Node 1: 1 So it becomes completely invisible, which will reduce runtime overhead. And in this way, we will not try to allocate pages from memoryless node0, then the panic mentioned in [1] will also be fixed. Even though this problem has been solved by dropping the NODE_MIN_SIZE constrain in x86 [2], it would be better to fix it in core MM as well.

mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most distant node. As we do not know how many populated zones we will have in each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of the zonelist by a NULL zone. While this is functionally correct it is quite suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation or hit the OOM killer in the worst case. We can do much better, though. We can store the node ordering into an already existing node_order array and then give this array to build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once. zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures. While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the updated index for the next iteration. Let's rename the function to build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it zoneref array to update. The function doesn't the index anymore. It just returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance the zonered array start for the next update. This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it is merely a preparatory work for later changes.

change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6. This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable. Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based. [Default Order] The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically. [Node-based Order] This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones (ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist. current 2.6.21 kernel uses this. Pros. * A user can expect local memory as much as possible. Cons. * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL. Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. [Zone-based order] This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist. Pros. * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted. Cons. * memory locality may not be best. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd. command: %echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order. command: %echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

We can store the node ordering into an already existing node_order array and then give this array to build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once. zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures. While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the updated index for the next iteration.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do.

This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer.

mm, page_alloc: remove stop_machine from build_all_zonelists build_all_zonelists has been (ab)using stop_machine to make sure that zonelists do not change while somebody is looking at them. This is is just a gross hack because a) it complicates the context from which we can call build_all_zonelists (see 3f906ba23689 ("mm/memory-hotplug: switch locking to a percpu rwsem")) and b) is is not really necessary especially after "mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization" and c) it doesn't really provide the protection it claims (see below). Updates of the zonelists happen very seldom, basically only when a zone becomes populated during memory online or when it loses all the memory during offline. A racing iteration over zonelists could either miss a zone or try to work on one zone twice. Both of these are something we can live with occasionally because there will always be at least one zone visible so we are not likely to fail allocation too easily for example. Please note that the original stop_machine approach doesn't really provide a better exclusion because the iteration might be interrupted half way (unless the whole iteration is preempt disabled which is not the case in most cases) so the some zones could still be seen twice or a zone missed. I have run the pathological online/offline of the single memblock in the movable zone while stressing the same small node with some memory pressure.

mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below: /* * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here. */ mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex); build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL); mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex); But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for online nodes as: for_each_online_node(nid) { pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); build_zonelists(pgdat); build_zonelist_cache(pgdat); } Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for the new pgdat too.

mm, memory_hotplug: get rid of zonelists_mutex zonelists_mutex was introduced by commit 4eaf3f64397c ("mem-hotplug: fix potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone") to protect zonelist building from races. This is no longer needed though because both memory online and offline are fully serialized. New users have grown since then. Notably setup_per_zone_wmarks wants to prevent from races between memory hotplug, khugepaged setup and manual min_free_kbytes update via sysctl (see cfd3da1e49bb ("mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes"). Let's add a private lock for that purpose. This will not prevent from seeing halfway through memory hotplug operation but that shouldn't be a big deal becuse memory hotplug will update watermarks explicitly so we will eventually get a full picture. The lock just makes sure we won't race when updating watermarks leading to weird results. Also __build_all_zonelists manipulates global data so add a private lock for it as well. This doesn't seem to be necessary today but it is more robust to have a lock there. While we are at it make sure we document that memory online/offline depends on a full serialization either via mem_hotplug_begin() or device_lock.

/*
mm/page_alloc: use write_seqlock_irqsave() instead write_seqlock() + local_irq_save(). __build_all_zonelists() acquires zonelist_update_seq by first disabling interrupts via local_irq_save() and then acquiring the seqlock with write_seqlock(). This is troublesome and leads to problems on PREEMPT_RT. The problem is that the inner spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired with disabled interrupts. The API provides write_seqlock_irqsave() which does the right thing in one step. printk_deferred_enter() has to be invoked in non-migrate-able context to ensure that deferred printing is enabled and disabled on the same CPU.

[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and skipping them. Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct, to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.) Recent changes: This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones. This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones on that node were full. Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache", as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.) See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and (2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below. I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan, this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist(). There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa emulation case by caching the last useful zone: 1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems) have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have. This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though. The following approach should help such real numa systems just as much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof. 2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance, so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging. The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or zone sorting. See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does. Technical details of note (or controversy): - See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking. - Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this. Search for "MPOL_BIND". - Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently, with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data, and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling. The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones' (a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should all be self correcting after at most a one second delay. - This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another one or two new and distinct cache lines. - If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be (pleasantly) flabbergasted. - I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the lie to that claim. - I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node. =============== Performance - some benchmark results and analysis: This benchmark runs a memory hog program that uses multiple threads to touch alot of memory as quickly as it can. Multiple runs were made, touching 12, 38, 64 or 90 GBytes out of the total 96 GBytes on the system, and using 1, 19, 37, or 55 threads (on a 56 CPU system.)

Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread. 2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns. The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run, for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds. 3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize the amount of background activity that might interfere. 4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM. 5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not. 6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs) ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a pleasantly parallizable workload. 7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist caching patch. Conclusions: * This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid heavy off node allocations. * For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings up to ten per-cent. * For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated. NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g. x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be cpuless for example. One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node. That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users. This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code - free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes. node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting that. Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat (renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat). generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

mm, memory_hotplug: get rid of zonelists_mutex zonelists_mutex was introduced by commit 4eaf3f64397c ("mem-hotplug: fix potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone") to protect zonelist building from races. This is no longer needed though because both memory online and offline are fully serialized. New users have grown since then. Notably setup_per_zone_wmarks wants to prevent from races between memory hotplug, khugepaged setup and manual min_free_kbytes update via sysctl (see cfd3da1e49bb ("mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes"). Let's add a private lock for that purpose. This will not prevent from seeing halfway through memory hotplug operation but that shouldn't be a big deal becuse memory hotplug will update watermarks explicitly so we will eventually get a full picture. The lock just makes sure we won't race when updating watermarks leading to weird results. Also __build_all_zonelists manipulates global data so add a private lock for it as well. This doesn't seem to be necessary today but it is more robust to have a lock there. While we are at it make sure we document that memory online/offline depends on a full serialization either via mem_hotplug_begin() or device_lock.

mm/page_alloc: fix potential deadlock on zonelist_update_seq seqlock syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency which involves zonelist_update_seq seqlock [1], for this lock is checked by memory allocation requests which do not need to be retried. One deadlock scenario is kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from an interrupt handler. CPU0 ---- __build_all_zonelists() { write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount odd // e.g. timer interrupt handler runs at this moment some_timer_func() { kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) { __alloc_pages_slowpath() { read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) { // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd } } } } // e.g. timer interrupt handler finishes write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount even } This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) from !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests, for retry is applicable to only __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests. But Michal Hocko does not know whether we should go with this approach. Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() with port->lock held and printk() from __build_all_zonelists() with zonelist_update_seq held. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- pty_write() { tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() { __build_all_zonelists() { write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); build_zonelists() { printk() { vprintk() { vprintk_default() { vprintk_emit() { console_unlock() { console_flush_all() { console_emit_next_record() { con->write() = serial8250_console_write() { spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags); tty_insert_flip_string() { tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() { __tty_buffer_request_room() { tty_buffer_alloc() { kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN) { __alloc_pages_slowpath() { zonelist_iter_begin() { read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq); // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags); // spins forever because port->lock is held } } } } } } } } spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); // message is printed to console spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); } } } } } } } } } write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); } } } This deadlock scenario can be eliminated by preventing interrupt context from calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) and preventing printk() from calling console_flush_all() while zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd. Since Petr Mladek thinks that __build_all_zonelists() can become a candidate for deferring printk() [2], let's address this problem by disabling local interrupts in order to avoid kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) and disabling synchronous printk() in order to avoid console_flush_all() . As a side effect of minimizing duration of zonelist_update_seq.seqcount being odd by disabling synchronous printk(), latency at read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) for both !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests will be reduced. Although, from lockdep perspective, not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) (i.e. do not record unnecessary locking dependency) from interrupt context is still preferable, even if we don't allow calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) inside write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq)/write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq) section...

printk_deferred_exit();
mm/page_alloc: use write_seqlock_irqsave() instead write_seqlock() + local_irq_save(). __build_all_zonelists() acquires zonelist_update_seq by first disabling interrupts via local_irq_save() and then acquiring the seqlock with write_seqlock(). This is troublesome and leads to problems on PREEMPT_RT. The problem is that the inner spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired with disabled interrupts. The API provides write_seqlock_irqsave() which does the right thing in one step. printk_deferred_enter() has to be invoked in non-migrate-able context to ensure that deferred printing is enabled and disabled on the same CPU. This is the case after zonelist_update_seq has been acquired. There was discussion on the first submission that the order should be: local_irq_disable(); printk_deferred_enter(); write_seqlock(); to avoid pitfalls like having an unaccounted printk() coming from write_seqlock_irqsave() before printk_deferred_enter() is invoked. The only origin of such a printk() can be a lockdep splat because the lockdep annotation happens after the sequence count is incremented. This is exceptional and subject to change. It was also pointed that PREEMPT_RT can be affected by the printk problem since its write_seqlock_irqsave() does not really disable interrupts. This isn't the case because PREEMPT_RT's printk implementation differs from the mainline implementation in two important aspects: - Printing happens in a dedicated threads and not at during the invocation of printk(). - In emergency cases where synchronous printing is used, a different driver is used which does not use tty_port::lock. Acquire zonelist_update_seq with write_seqlock_irqsave() and then defer printk output.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split the locking there. No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats, it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following. (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz) ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size Baseline Patched 1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%) 2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%) 3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%) 4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%) 8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%) 16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%) 32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%) 64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%) 128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%) While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT tree into mainline. This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm, page_alloc: remove stop_machine from build_all_zonelists build_all_zonelists has been (ab)using stop_machine to make sure that zonelists do not change while somebody is looking at them. This is is just a gross hack because a) it complicates the context from which we can call build_all_zonelists (see 3f906ba23689 ("mm/memory-hotplug: switch locking to a percpu rwsem")) and b) is is not really necessary especially after "mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization" and c) it doesn't really provide the protection it claims (see below). Updates of the zonelists happen very seldom, basically only when a zone becomes populated during memory online or when it loses all the memory during offline. A racing iteration over zonelists could either miss a zone or try to work on one zone twice. Both of these are something we can live with occasionally because there will always be at least one zone visible so we are not likely to fail allocation too easily for example. Please note that the original stop_machine approach doesn't really provide a better exclusion because the iteration might be interrupted half way (unless the whole iteration is preempt disabled which is not the case in most cases) so the some zones could still be seen twice or a zone missed.

Do not depend on MAX_ORDER when grouping pages by mobility Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size. However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page size is runtime configurable. It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true, page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time kernel parameter. One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

mm: defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the point where we init pgmap The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations. One was with the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock. The problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory initialization time. Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a global lock and once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to the one outside of the lock. This allows us to avoid serializing the overhead for memory init and we can instead focus on per-node init times. One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same way. One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it to a poison value. Since this is something that is exposed to the driver in the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing hmm_data to 0 since this is going to be exposed to unknown third party drivers.

[PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed. Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is not local to that zone. So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be done with information available locally. We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads.

mm/page_alloc: disassociate the pcp->high from pcp->batch The pcp high watermark is based on the batch size but there is no relationship between them other than it is convenient to use early in boot. This patch takes the first step and bases pcp->high on the zone low watermark split across the number of CPUs local to a zone while the batch size remains the same to avoid increasing allocation latencies. The intent behind the default pcp->high is "set the number of PCP pages such that if they are all full that background reclaim is not started prematurely". Note that in this patch the pcp->high values are adjusted after memory hotplug events, min_free_kbytes adjustments and watermark scale factor adjustments but not CPU hotplug events which is handled later in the series.

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used instead. This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning algorithm in the following patches in the series.

Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used instead. This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning algorithm in the following patches in the series.

static void per_cpu_pages_init(struct per_cpu_pages *pcp, struct per_cpu_zonestat *pzstats)
[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on. Additional credit; Dave Hansen for the initial suggestion and comments on early patches Andy Whitcroft for reviewing early versions and catching numerous errors Tony Luck for testing and debugging on IA64 Bob Picco for fixing bugs related to pfn registration, reviewing a number of patch revisions, providing a number of suggestions on future direction and testing heavily Jack Steiner and Robin Holt for testing on IA64 and clarifying issues related to memory holes Yasunori for testing on IA64 Andi Kleen for reviewing and feeding back about x86_64 Christian Kujau for providing valuable information related to ACPI problems on x86_64 and testing potential fixes This patch: Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node in an architecture independent manner. Architectures are expected to register active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.

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.

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 (d91749c1dda71) and powerpc being the odd architecture which initialises max_zone_pfn[] to ~0ul instead of 0 caused all of system memory to be placed into ZONE_DEVICE at boot, followed a panic since device memory cannot be used for kernel allocations. I've already submitted a patch to fix the powerpc specific bits, but I figured this should be fixed too.

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.

Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used instead. This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning algorithm in the following patches in the series.

mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example, in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some network workloads. To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can detect consecutive page freeing much earlier. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes. With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on. Additional credit; Dave Hansen for the initial suggestion and comments on early patches Andy Whitcroft for reviewing early versions and catching numerous errors Tony Luck for testing and debugging on IA64 Bob Picco for fixing bugs related to pfn registration, reviewing a number of patch revisions, providing a number of suggestions on future direction and testing heavily Jack Steiner and Robin Holt for testing on IA64 and clarifying issues related to memory holes Yasunori for testing on IA64 Andi Kleen for reviewing and feeding back about x86_64 Christian Kujau for providing valuable information related to ACPI problems on x86_64 and testing potential fixes This patch: Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node in an architecture independent manner.

mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an allocation from a possible node is requested. The underlying reason is that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated. NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot. E.g. x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be cpuless for example. One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node. That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users. This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code - free_area_init. All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes. node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other side effects - e.g. sysfs representation of such a node and from past discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting that. Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat (renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat). generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all pgdats are allocated. Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can use the early boot allocator. The only arch specific implementation is ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

mm/page_alloc: fix memory map initialization for descending nodes On systems with memory nodes sorted in descending order, for instance Dell Precision WorkStation T5500, the struct pages for higher PFNs and respectively lower nodes, could be overwritten by the initialization of struct pages corresponding to the holes in the memory sections. For example for the below memory layout [ 0.245624] Early memory node ranges [ 0.248496] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff] [ 0.251376] node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff] [ 0.254256] node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff] [ 0.257144] node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff] the range 0x1424000000 - 0x1428000000 in the beginning of node 0 starts in the middle of a section and will be considered as a hole during the initialization of the last section in node 1. The wrong initialization of the memory map causes panic on boot when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. Reorder loop order of the memory map initialization so that the outer loop will always iterate over populated memory regions in the ascending order and the inner loop will select the zone corresponding to the PFN range. This way initialization of the struct pages for the memory holes will be always done for the ranges that are actually not populated.

__zone_set_pageset_high_and_batch(zone, new_high_min, new_high_max,
new_batch);
[PATCH] Introduce mechanism for registering active regions of memory At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on. Additional credit; Dave Hansen for the initial suggestion and comments on early patches Andy Whitcroft for reviewing early versions and catching numerous errors Tony Luck for testing and debugging on IA64 Bob Picco for fixing bugs related to pfn registration, reviewing a number of patch revisions, providing a number of suggestions on future direction and testing heavily Jack Steiner and Robin Holt for testing on IA64 and clarifying issues related to memory holes Yasunori for testing on IA64 Andi Kleen for reviewing and feeding back about x86_64 Christian Kujau for providing valuable information related to ACPI problems on x86_64 and testing potential fixes This patch: Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node in an architecture independent manner. Architectures are expected to register active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.

Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied from either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility. The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at boot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming. When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two things to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second, the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout NUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others. By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are pinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of the system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about. Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during review of the patches. This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.

mm, page_alloc: extend kernelcore and movablecore for percent Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively. This requires the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line, however. This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore= as a percentage of total system memory. This is convenient for systems software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example, as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value. To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be a '%'. mhocko: "why is anyone using these options nowadays?" rientjes: : : Fragmentation of non-__GFP_MOVABLE pages due to low on memory : situations can pollute most pageblocks on the system, as much as 1GB of : slab being fragmented over 128GB of memory, for example.

mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocating and freeing CPUs. On system with small per-CPU data cache slice, pages shouldn't be cached before draining to guarantee cache-hot. But on a system with large per-CPU data cache slice, some pages can be cached before draining to reduce zone lock contention. So, in this patch, instead of draining without any caching, "pcp->batch" pages will be cached in PCP before draining if the size of the per-CPU data cache slice is more than "3 * batch". In theory, if the size of per-CPU data cache slice is more than "2 * batch", we can reuse cache-hot pages between CPUs. But considering the other usage of cache (code, other data accessing, etc.), "3 * batch" is used. Note: "3 * batch" is chosen to make sure the optimization works on recent x86_64 server CPUs. If you want to increase it, please check whether it breaks the optimization. On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with 16-pair processes increase 70.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 46.1% to 21.3%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 89.9%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used instead. This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning algorithm in the following patches in the series.

mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon, virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages as: 1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long. 2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context. 3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated managed_page_count_lock. Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

unsigned long free_reserved_area(void *start, void *end, int poison, const char *s)
mm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1. It introduces following common helper functions to simplify free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures: adjust_managed_page_count(): will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages, zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page. __free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting page statistics info free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page statistics info mark_page_reserved(): mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info free_reserved_area(): free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page() free_initmem_default(): default method to free __init pages. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages. This patch: Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated code. These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code much more clear.

mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area() free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses should be freed. However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way. If it gets a kernel direct map address, it always works. However, if it gets an address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail. It fails if all of the following happen: * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset()) * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course. free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image alias addresses. We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image alias areas it gets used on are read-write. I'm fairly sure this has been just a happy accident.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero Address more review comments from last round of code review. 1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem() on ARM64. 2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390 by mistake, so restore to the original behavior. 3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area() free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses should be freed. However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way. If it gets a kernel direct map address, it always works. However, if it gets an address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail. It fails if all of the following happen: * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset()) * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course. free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image alias addresses. We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image alias areas it gets used on are read-write. I'm fairly sure this has been just a happy accident. It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and do this unconditionally. There is little chance of a regression here because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset, so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

mm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1. It introduces following common helper functions to simplify free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures: adjust_managed_page_count(): will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages, zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page. __free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting page statistics info free_reserved_page(): free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page statistics info mark_page_reserved(): mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info free_reserved_area(): free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page() free_initmem_default(): default method to free __init pages. We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to test this patchset are welcomed! There are several other parts still under development: Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the global variable num_physpages. This patch: Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated code. These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code much more clear.

[PATCH] overcommit: add calculate_totalreserve_pages() These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in __vm_enough_memory(). - why the kernel needed patching When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation. If the Linux runs with page reservation features like /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think the oom kill occurs easily. - the overall design approach in the patch When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages, the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages. This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free. - testing results I tested the patches using my test kernel module. If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory() returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is failed. On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns failure in the situation. I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on nommu environment currently. This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory(). Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each zone to totalreserve_pages. The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized. And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

mm: rearrange zone fields into read-only, page alloc, statistics and page reclaim lines The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on. On x86-64 for example o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone allocation policy. o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache line on a stat update This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned conversion there. On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch. 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanillarearrange-v5r9 User 746.94 759.78 System 65336.22 58350.98 Elapsed 27553.52 27282.02 Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: reference totalram_pages and managed_pages once per function Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed pages to atomic", v5. This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it. Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a store tear. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 It seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic. With the change, preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing comes as a bonus. This patch (of 4): This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. Please note that re-reading the value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to unexpected behavior. There are no known bugs as a result of the current code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.

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.

mm, page_alloc: reset the zone->watermark_boost early Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like min_free_kbytes, water_mark_scale_factor etc, when ->watermark_boost is set will result in higher low and high watermarks than the user asked. Below are the steps to reproduce the problem on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware. 1) Default settings of the system are as below: #cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes = 5162 #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 8340 high 8539 2) Monitor the zone->watermark_boost(by adding a debug print in the kernel) and whenever it is greater than zero value, write the same value of min_free_kbytes obtained from step 1. #echo 5162 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes 3) Then read the zone watermarks in the system while the ->watermark_boost is zero. This should show the same values of watermarks as step 1 but shown a higher values than asked. #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 21148 high 21347 These higher values are because of updating the zone watermarks using the macro min_wmark_pages(zone) which also adds the zone->watermark_boost. #define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] + z->watermark_boost) So the steps that lead to the issue are: 1) On the extfrag event, watermarks are boosted by storing the required value in ->watermark_boost. 2) User tries to update the zone watermarks level in the system through min_free_kbytes or watermark_scale_factor. 3) Later, when kswapd woke up, it resets the zone->watermark_boost to zero. In step 2), we use the min_wmark_pages() macro to store the watermarks in the zone structure thus the values are always offsetted by ->watermark_boost value. This can be avoided by resetting the ->watermark_boost to zero before it is used.

NUMA balancing: optimize page placement for memory tiering system With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system, because the performance of the different types of memory are usually different. In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc, some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold dynamically. In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node). That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the existing NUMA balancing mechanism. The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows. It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows, a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory node will be demoted to the slow memory node. b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we might have a chance of doing so. The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered. The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented. A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor. In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets, the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these functionality individually. The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The definition of the flags is, - 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED - 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL - 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to 95.9%. Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free. - testing results I tested the patches using my test kernel module. If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory() returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is failed. On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns failure in the situation. I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on nommu environment currently. This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory(). Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each zone to totalreserve_pages. The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized. And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

mm: include CMA pages in lowmem_reserve at boot The lowmem_reserve arrays provide a means of applying pressure against allocations from lower zones that were targeted at higher zones. Its values are a function of the number of pages managed by higher zones and are assigned by a call to the setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() function. The function is initially called at boot time by the function init_per_zone_wmark_min() and may be called later by accesses of the /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio sysctl file. The function init_per_zone_wmark_min() was moved up from a module_init to a core_initcall to resolve a sequencing issue with khugepaged. Unfortunately this created a sequencing issue with CMA page accounting. The CMA pages are added to the managed page count of a zone when cma_init_reserved_areas() is called at boot also as a core_initcall. This makes it uncertain whether the CMA pages will be added to the managed page counts of their zones before or after the call to init_per_zone_wmark_min() as it becomes dependent on link order. With the current link order the pages are added to the managed count after the lowmem_reserve arrays are initialized at boot. This means the lowmem_reserve values at boot may be lower than the values used later if /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio is accessed even if the ratio values are unchanged. In many cases the difference is not significant, but for example an ARM platform with 1GB of memory and the following memory layout cma: Reserved 256 MiB at 0x0000000030000000 Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000002fffffff] Normal empty HighMem [mem 0x0000000030000000-0x000000003fffffff] would result in 0 lowmem_reserve for the DMA zone. This would allow userspace to deplete the DMA zone easily. Funnily enough $ cat /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio would fix up the situation because as a side effect it forces setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve. This commit breaks the link order dependency by invoking init_per_zone_wmark_min() as a postcore_initcall so that the CMA pages have the chance to be properly accounted in their zone(s) and allowing the lowmem_reserve arrays to receive consistent values.

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.

[PATCH] zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaim Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free enough pages to allow a local allocation. However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with 46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems). This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we 1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone. 2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter) are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable). The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach (current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier. The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5% Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

This patch (of 3): When people write to /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio to change sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[], setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() is called to recalculate all ->lowmem_reserve[] for each zone of all nodes as below: static void setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(void) { ... for_each_online_pgdat(pgdat) { for (j = 0; j < MAX_NR_ZONES; j++) { ... while (idx) { ... if (sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] < 1) { sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] = 0; lower_zone->lowmem_reserve[j] = 0; } else { ... } } } } Meanwhile, here, sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[idx] will be tuned if its value is smaller than '1'. As we know, sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[] is set for zone without regarding to which node it belongs to. That means the tuning will be done on all nodes, even though it has been done in the first node. And the tuning will be done too even when init_per_zone_wmark_min() calls setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve(), where actually nobody tries to change sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[]. So now move the tuning into lowmem_reserve_ratio_sysctl_handler(), to make code logic more reasonable.

This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior. It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7] is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL. This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

mm: page_alloc: dump migrate-failed pages Currently, debugging CMA allocation failures is quite limited. The most common source of these failures seems to be page migration which doesn't provide any useful information on the reason of the failure by itself. alloc_contig_range can report those failures as it holds a list of migrate-failed pages. The information logged by dump_page() has already proven helpful for debugging allocation issues, like identifying long-term pinnings on ZONE_MOVABLE or MIGRATE_CMA. Let's use the dynamic debugging infrastructure, such that we avoid flooding the logs and creating a lot of noise on frequent alloc_contig_range() calls. This information is helpful for debugging only. There are two ifdefery conditions to support common dyndbg options: - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE && DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE It aims for supporting the feature with only specific file with adding ccflags. - CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG It aims for supporting the feature with system wide globally. A simple example to enable the feature: Admin could enable the dump like this(by default, disabled) echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages +p" > control Admin could disable it. echo "func alloc_contig_dump_pages =_" > control Detail goes Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst A concern is utility functions in dump_page use inconsistent loglevels. In the future, we might want to make the loglevels used inside dump_page() consistent and eventually rework the way we log the information here. See [1].

If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be excessive. If the information is too stale then allocations will fail that might have otherwise succeeded. In this patch o CMA always ignores the information o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache was discarded o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache. The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a better event. Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick succession due to memory pressure.

mm,page_alloc: bail out earlier on -ENOMEM in alloc_contig_migrate_range Patch series "Make alloc_contig_range handle Hugetlb pages", v10. alloc_contig_range lacks the ability to handle HugeTLB pages. This can be problematic for some users, e.g: CMA and virtio-mem, where those users will fail the call if alloc_contig_range ever sees a HugeTLB page, even when those pages lay in ZONE_MOVABLE and are free. That problem can be easily solved by replacing the page in the free hugepage pool. In-use HugeTLB are no exception though, as those can be isolated and migrated as any other LRU or Movable page. This aims to improve alloc_contig_range->isolate_migratepages_block, so that HugeTLB pages can be recognized and handled. Since we also need to start reporting errors down the chain (e.g: -ENOMEM due to not be able to allocate a new hugetlb page), isolate_migratepages_{range,block} interfaces need to change to start reporting error codes instead of the pfn == 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme it is using right now. From now on, isolate_migratepages_block will not return the next pfn to be scanned anymore, but -EINTR, -ENOMEM or 0, so we the next pfn to be scanned will be recorded in cc->migrate_pfn field (as it is already done in isolate_migratepages_range()).

mm: disable LRU pagevec during the migration temporarily LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all before migrate_pages call. However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end. To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during ongoing migration until migrate is done. Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync migration) with below debug code. int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page, .. .. if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) { printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc); dump_page(page, "fail to migrate"); } The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500 during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced from 400 to 30. The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation. With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as well.

mm/page_isolation.c: make start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolated start_isolate_page_range() is used to set the migrate type of a set of pageblocks to MIGRATE_ISOLATE while attempting to start a migration operation. It assumes that only one thread is calling it for the specified range. This routine is used by CMA, memory hotplug and gigantic huge pages. Each of these users synchronize access to the range within their subsystem. However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range. If this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing. This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation. What is ideally needed is a way to synchronize access to a set of pageblocks that are undergoing isolation and migration. The only thing we know about these pageblocks is that they are all in the same zone. A per-node mutex is too coarse as we want to allow multiple operations on different ranges within the same zone concurrently. Instead, we will use the migration type of the pageblocks themselves as a form of synchronization. start_isolate_page_range sets the migration type on a set of page- blocks going in order from the one associated with the smallest pfn to the largest pfn. The zone lock is acquired to check and set the migration type. When going through the list of pageblocks check if MIGRATE_ISOLATE is already set. If so, this indicates another thread is working on this pageblock. We know exactly which pageblocks we set, so clean up by undo those and return -EBUSY. This allows start_isolate_page_range to serve as a synchronization mechanism and will allow for more general use of callers making use of these interfaces. Update comments in alloc_contig_range to reflect this new functionality. Each CPU holds the associated zone lock to modify or examine the migration type of a pageblock. And, it will only examine/update a single pageblock per lock acquire/release cycle.

mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could potentially be excessive. The ideal was that a counter be maintained for each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe penalty due to a shared writable cache line. It has reached the point where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large number of THPs at the same time. Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip. If a pageblock is scanned by either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is marked to be skipped in the future. When scanning, this bit is checked before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set. The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be excessive. If the information is too stale then allocations will fail that might have otherwise succeeded. In this patch o CMA always ignores the information o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache was discarded o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache. The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a better event. Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick succession due to memory pressure. Waiting until memory pressure is relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page. The time-based mechanism is clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

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/page_isolation.c: convert SKIP_HWPOISON to MEMORY_OFFLINE We have two types of users of page isolation: 1. Memory offlining: Offline memory so it can be unplugged. Memory won't be touched. 2. Memory allocation: Allocate memory (e.g., alloc_contig_range()) to become the owner of the memory and make use of it. For example, in case we want to offline memory, we can ignore (skip over) PageHWPoison() pages, as the memory won't get used. We can allow to offline memory. In contrast, we don't want to allow to allocate such memory. Let's generalize the approach so we can special case other types of pages we want to skip over in case we offline memory.

mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could potentially be excessive. The ideal was that a counter be maintained for each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe penalty due to a shared writable cache line. It has reached the point where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large number of THPs at the same time. Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip. If a pageblock is scanned by either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is marked to be skipped in the future. When scanning, this bit is checked before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set. The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be excessive. If the information is too stale then allocations will fail that might have otherwise succeeded. In this patch o CMA always ignores the information o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache was discarded o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache. The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a better event. Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick succession due to memory pressure. Waiting until memory pressure is relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page. The time-based mechanism is clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotunplug part 2 We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later. When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor. We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range(). It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged. We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to make unplug more likely to succeed. Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched. As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from kernel module context, export the symbols. Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

mm: page_alloc: skip regions with hugetlbfs pages when allocating 1G pages A bug was reported by Yuanxi Liu where allocating 1G pages at runtime is taking an excessive amount of time for large amounts of memory. Further testing allocating huge pages that the cost is linear i.e. if allocating 1G pages in batches of 10 then the time to allocate nr_hugepages from 10->20->30->etc increases linearly even though 10 pages are allocated at each step. Profiles indicated that much of the time is spent checking the validity within already existing huge pages and then attempting a migration that fails after isolating the range, draining pages and a whole lot of other useless work. Commit eb14d4eefdc4 ("mm,page_alloc: drop unnecessary checks from pfn_range_valid_contig") removed two checks, one which ignored huge pages for contiguous allocations as huge pages can sometimes migrate. While there may be value on migrating a 2M page to satisfy a 1G allocation, it's potentially expensive if the 1G allocation fails and it's pointless to try moving a 1G page for a new 1G allocation or scan the tail pages for valid PFNs. Reintroduce the PageHuge check and assume any contiguous region with hugetlbfs pages is unsuitable for a new 1G allocation. The hpagealloc test allocates huge pages in batches and reports the average latency per page over time. This test happens just after boot when fragmentation is not an issue.

mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 968318261221 ("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline"). David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them. To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any pcplist addition will be immediately flushed. The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on pcplists in zones where isolation happens. This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages. Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used instead. This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning algorithm in the following patches in the series.

mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated. But the page isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored on pcp lists and thus can be reused. This can be worked around by repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 968318261221 ("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline"). David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to repeatedly drain. David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them. To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any pcplist addition will be immediately flushed. The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range(). The draining will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they are rescheduled, and skip pcplists. This guarantees no stray pages on pcplists in zones where isolation happens. This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages. Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where pcplists are not empty. The check can however race with a free to pcplist that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1. Thus make the drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this option in zone_pcp_disable(). As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it in zone_pcp_enable(). This also synchronizes multiple users of zone_pcp_disable()/enable(). Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand. But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each CPU automatically. This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it, pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high (pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand. It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used instead. This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning algorithm in the following patches in the series.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split the locking there. No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats, it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following. (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz) ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size Baseline Patched 1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%) 2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%) 3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%) 4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%) 8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%) 16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%) 32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%) 64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%) 128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%) While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT tree into mainline. This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm/page_alloc: split per cpu page lists and zone stats The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second, PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page allocator. This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst local_irq_disable(); spin_lock(&lock); The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save) -> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful. After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends) inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on !PREEMPT_RT. The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented. Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split the locking there. No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats, it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following. (CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz) ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size Baseline Patched 1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%) 2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%) 3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%) 4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%) 8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%) 16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%) 32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%) 64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%) 128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%) While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT tree into mainline. This patch (of 9): The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding is required incurring a memory cost. This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats). Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no impact overall.

mm/page_alloc.c: don't set pages PageReserved() when offlining Patch series "mm: Memory offlining + page isolation cleanups", v2. This patch (of 2): We call __offline_isolated_pages() from __offline_pages() after all pages were isolated and are either free (PageBuddy()) or PageHWPoison. Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point. In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the isolated free lists, to be precise). Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state. We already poision the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to stale/uninitialized memmaps. So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful. The memap is marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated. As soon as offline, the memmap is stale either way. This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).

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: Allow to offline unmovable PageOffline() pages via MEM_GOING_OFFLINE virtio-mem wants to allow to offline memory blocks of which some parts were unplugged (allocated via alloc_contig_range()), especially, to later offline and remove completely unplugged memory blocks. The important part is that PageOffline() has to remain set until the section is offline, so these pages will never get accessed (e.g., when dumping). The pages should not be handed back to the buddy (which would require clearing PageOffline() and result in issues if offlining fails and the pages are suddenly in the buddy). Let's allow to do that by allowing to isolate any PageOffline() page when offlining. This way, we can reach the memory hotplug notifier MEM_GOING_OFFLINE, where the driver can signal that he is fine with offlining this page by dropping its reference count. PageOffline() pages with a reference count of 0 can then be skipped when offlining the pages (like if they were free, however they are not in the buddy). Anybody who uses PageOffline() pages and does not agree to offline them (e.g., Hyper-V balloon, XEN balloon, VMWare balloon for 2MB pages) will not decrement the reference count and make offlining fail when trying to migrate such an unmovable page. So there should be no observable change. Same applies to balloon compaction users (movable PageOffline() pages), the pages will simply be migrated. Note 1: If offlining fails, a driver has to increment the reference count again in MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. Note 2: A driver that makes use of this has to be aware that re-onlining the memory block has to be handled by hooking into onlining code (online_page_callback_t), resetting the page PageOffline() and not giving them to the buddy.

mm: use zone and order instead of free area in free_list manipulators In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

mm/hwpoison: fix unpoison_memory() After recent soft-offline rework, error pages can be taken off from buddy allocator, but the existing unpoison_memory() does not properly undo the operation. Moreover, due to the recent change on __get_hwpoison_page(), get_page_unless_zero() is hardly called for hwpoisoned pages. So __get_hwpoison_page() highly likely returns -EBUSY (meaning to fail to grab page refcount) and unpoison just clears PG_hwpoison without releasing a refcount. That does not lead to a critical issue like kernel panic, but unpoisoned pages never get back to buddy (leaked permanently), which is not good. To (partially) fix this, we need to identify "taken off" pages from other types of hwpoisoned pages. We can't use refcount or page flags for this purpose, so a pseudo flag is defined by hacking ->private field. Someone might think that put_page() is enough to cancel taken-off pages, but the normal free path contains some operations not suitable for the current purpose, and can fire VM_BUG_ON(). Note that unpoison_memory() is now supposed to be cancel hwpoison events injected only by madvise() or /sys/devices/system/memory/{hard,soft}_offline_page, not by MCE injection, so please don't try to use unpoison when testing with MCE injection.

mm/page_alloc: fix counting of free pages after take off from buddy Recently we found that there is a lot MemFree left in /proc/meminfo after do a lot of pages soft offline, it's not quite correct. Before Oscar's rework of soft offline for free pages [1], if we soft offline free pages, these pages are left in buddy with HWPoison flag, and NR_FREE_PAGES is not updated immediately. So the difference between NR_FREE_PAGES and real number of available free pages is also even big at the beginning. However, with the workload running, when we catch HWPoison page in any alloc functions subsequently, we will remove it from buddy, meanwhile update the NR_FREE_PAGES and try again, so the NR_FREE_PAGES will get more and more closer to the real number of available free pages. (regardless of unpoison_memory()) Now, for offline free pages, after a successful call take_page_off_buddy(), the page is no longer belong to buddy allocator, and will not be used any more, but we missed accounting NR_FREE_PAGES in this situation, and there is no chance to be updated later. Do update in take_page_off_buddy() like rmqueue() does, but avoid double counting if some one already set_migratetype_isolate() on the page.

mm_zone: add function to check if managed dma zone exists Patch series "Handle warning of allocation failure on DMA zone w/o managed pages", v4. **Problem observed: On x86_64, when crash is triggered and entering into kdump kernel, page allocation failure can always be seen. --------------------------------- DMA: preallocated 128 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xa1 warn_alloc.cold+0x72/0xd6 ...... __alloc_pages+0x24d/0x2c0 ...... dma_atomic_pool_init+0xdb/0x176 do_one_initcall+0x67/0x320 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x3f/0x80 kernel_init_freeable+0x290/0x2dc ? rest_init+0x24f/0x24f kernel_init+0xa/0x111 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Mem-Info: ------------------------------------ ***Root cause: In the current kernel, it assumes that DMA zone must have managed pages and try to request pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down at very early stage of boot, so that this low 1M won't be added into buddy allocator to become managed pages of DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested from DMA zone. ***Investigation: This failure happens since below commit merged into linus's tree. 1a6a9044b967 x86/setup: Remove CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW and reservelow= options 23721c8e92f7 x86/crash: Remove crash_reserve_low_1M() f1d4d47c5851 x86/setup: Always reserve the first 1M of RAM 7c321eb2b843 x86/kdump: Remove the backup region handling 6f599d84231f x86/kdump: Always reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified Before them, on x86_64, the low 640K area will be reused by kdump kernel. So in kdump kernel, the content of low 640K area is copied into a backup region for dumping before jumping into kdump. Then except of those firmware reserved region in [0, 640K], the left area will be added into buddy allocator to become available managed pages of DMA zone. However, after above commits applied, in kdump kernel of x86_64, the low 1M is reserved by memblock, but not released to buddy allocator. So any later page allocation requested from DMA zone will fail. At the beginning, if crashkernel is reserved, the low 1M need be locked down because AMD SME encrypts memory making the old backup region mechanims impossible when switching into kdump kernel. Later, it was also observed that there are BIOSes corrupting memory under 1M. To solve this, in commit f1d4d47c5851, the entire region of low 1M is always reserved after the real mode trampoline is allocated. Besides, recently, Intel engineer mentioned their TDX (Trusted domain extensions) which is under development in kernel also needs to lock down the low 1M. So we can't simply revert above commits to fix the page allocation failure from DMA zone as someone suggested. ***Solution: Currently, only DMA atomic pool and dma-kmalloc will initialize and request page allocation with GFP_DMA during bootup. So only initializ DMA atomic pool when DMA zone has available managed pages, otherwise just skip the initialization. For dma-kmalloc(), for the time being, let's mute the warning of allocation failure if requesting pages from DMA zone while no manged pages. Meanwhile, change code to use dma_alloc_xx/dma_map_xx API to replace kmalloc(GFP_DMA), or do not use GFP_DMA when calling kmalloc() if not necessary. Christoph is posting patches to fix those under drivers/scsi/. Finally, we can remove the need of dma-kmalloc() as people suggested. This patch (of 3): In some places of the current kernel, it assumes that dma zone must have managed pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down at very early stage of boot, so that there's no managed pages at all in DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested from DMA zone. Here add function has_managed_dma() and the relevant helper functions to check if there's DMA zone with managed pages. It will be used in later patches.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.
