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: 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: 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/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

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().

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.

This patch:
Preparation for memoryless node patches.
Provide a generic way to keep nodemasks describing various characteristics of
NUMA nodes.
Remove the node_online_map and the node_possible map and realize the same
functionality using two nodes stats: N_POSSIBLE and N_ONLINE.

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_owner: print migratetype of page and pageblock, symbolic flags
The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype
of the pageblock the page belongs to. This is also checked against the
page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and
the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the
pageblock's one. t This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback
allocation is not the only reason why these two can differ. It also
doesn't direcly provide the page's migratetype, although it's possible
to derive that from the gfp_flags.
It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and
leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback
allocation as the only possible reason. While at it, we can print the
migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some
of the numeric values depend on kernel configuration. For that, this
patch moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part
of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it.
With the new format strings for flags, we can now also provide symbolic
page and gfp flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file. This
replaces the positional printing of page flags as single letters, which
might have looked nicer, but was limited to a subset of flags, and
required the user to remember the letters.

[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.

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/page_alloc.c: don't call kasan_free_pages() at deferred mem init
When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled on large memory SMP systems, the deferrred
pages initialization can take a long time. Below were the reported init
times on a 8-socket 96-core 4TB IvyBridge system.
1) Non-debug kernel without CONFIG_KASAN
[ 8.764222] node 1 initialised, 132086516 pages in 7027ms
2) Debug kernel with CONFIG_KASAN
[ 146.288115] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 143052ms
So the page init time in a debug kernel was 20X of the non-debug kernel.
The long init time can be problematic as the page initialization is done
with interrupt disabled. In this particular case, it caused the
appearance of following warning messages as well as NMI backtraces of all
the cores that were doing the initialization.

The long init time was mainly caused by the call to kasan_free_pages() to
poison the newly initialized pages. On a 4TB system, we are talking about
almost 500GB of memory probably on the same node.
In reality, we may not need to poison the newly initialized pages before
they are ever allocated. So KASAN poisoning of freed pages before the
completion of deferred memory initialization is now disabled. Those pages
will be properly poisoned when they are allocated or freed after deferred
pages initialization is done.
With this change, the new page initialization time became:
[ 21.948010] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 18702ms
This was still about double the non-debug kernel time, but was much
better than before.

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.

mm/page_alloc.c: don't call kasan_free_pages() at deferred mem init
When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled on large memory SMP systems, the deferrred
pages initialization can take a long time. Below were the reported init
times on a 8-socket 96-core 4TB IvyBridge system.
1) Non-debug kernel without CONFIG_KASAN
[ 8.764222] node 1 initialised, 132086516 pages in 7027ms
2) Debug kernel with CONFIG_KASAN
[ 146.288115] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 143052ms
So the page init time in a debug kernel was 20X of the non-debug kernel.
The long init time can be problematic as the page initialization is done
with interrupt disabled. In this particular case, it caused the
appearance of following warning messages as well as NMI backtraces of all
the cores that were doing the initialization.

The long init time was mainly caused by the call to kasan_free_pages() to
poison the newly initialized pages. On a 4TB system, we are talking about
almost 500GB of memory probably on the same node.
In reality, we may not need to poison the newly initialized pages before
they are ever allocated. So KASAN poisoning of freed pages before the
completion of deferred memory initialization is now disabled. Those pages
will be properly poisoned when they are allocated or freed after deferred
pages initialization is done.
With this change, the new page initialization time became:
[ 21.948010] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 18702ms
This was still about double the non-debug kernel time, but was much
better than before.

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.

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].

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.

badpage: replace page_remove_rmap Eeek and BUG
Now that bad pages are kept out of circulation, there is no need for the
infamous page_remove_rmap() BUG() - once that page is freed, its negative
mapcount will issue a "Bad page state" message and the page won't be
freed. Removing the BUG() allows more info, on subsequent pages, to be
gathered.
We do have more info about the page at this point than bad_page() can know
- notably, what the pmd is, which might pinpoint something like low 64kB
corruption - but page_remove_rmap() isn't given the address to find that.
In practice, there is only one call to page_remove_rmap() which has ever
reported anything, that from zap_pte_range() (usually on exit, sometimes
on munmap). It has all the info, so remove page_remove_rmap()'s "Eeek"
message and leave it all to zap_pte_range().
mm/memory.c already has a hardly used print_bad_pte() function, showing
some of the appropriate info: extend it to show what we want for the rmap
case: pte info, page info (when there is a page) and vma info to compare.
zap_pte_range() already knows the pmd, but print_bad_pte() is easier to
use if it works that out for itself.
Some of this info is also shown in bad_page()'s "Bad page state" message.
Keep them separate, but adjust them to match each other as far as
possible. Say "Bad page map" in print_bad_pte(), and add a TAINT_BAD_PAGE
there too.
print_bad_pte() show current->comm unconditionally (though it should get
repeated in the usually irrelevant stack trace): sorry, I misled Nick
Piggin to make it conditional on vm_mm == current->mm, but current->mm is
already NULL in the exit case. Usually current->comm is good, though
exceptionally it may not be that of the mm (when "swapoff" for example).

[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.

dynamic dax devices that exercise all of this. Note, for dynamic dax
regions I had to revert commit 8aa83e6395 ("x86/setup: Call
early_reserve_memory() earlier"), it is a known issue that this commit
broke efi_fake_mem=.
This patch (of 11):
Split the utility function prep_compound_page() into head and tail
counterparts, and use them accordingly.
This is in preparation for sharing the storage for compound page
metadata.

[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/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/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

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

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.

There was a distinct lack of confidence in the X86* figures so I included
what the devation was where the results were not confident. 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.

Again, there is little to conclude here. 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().

/* 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

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: 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. 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,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,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.

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.

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: 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):

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

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.

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.

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

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: 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.

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/page_alloc.c: fix a crash in free_pages_prepare()
On architectures like s390, arch_free_page() could mark the page unused
(set_page_unused()) and any access later would trigger a kernel panic.
Fix it by moving arch_free_page() after all possible accessing calls.

In the past, only kernel_poison_pages() would trigger this but it needs
"page_poison=on" kernel cmdline, and I suspect nobody tested that on
s390. Recently, kernel_init_free_pages() (commit 6471384af2a6 ("mm:

was added and could trigger this as well.

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.

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

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: 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).

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

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_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: 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: 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

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: 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

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.

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

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

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.

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: 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.

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.

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

__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.

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 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: 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, 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: 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/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/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().

static inline bool boost_watermark(struct zone *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.
This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

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.
This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

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_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

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_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,

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".

It appears to be a false positive in that the only way the lock ordering
should be inverted is if kswapd is waking itself and the wakeup
allocates debugging objects which should already be allocated if it's
kswapd doing the waking. 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.
This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

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/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_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: 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. 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.

It's weird to show that zone has enough free memory above min watermark

it has moved pages to non-highatmoc free list, retry reclaim once more.

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. 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.

It's weird to show that zone has enough free memory above min watermark

it has moved pages to non-highatmoc free list, retry reclaim once more.

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.

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.

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.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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

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. 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.

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.

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. 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.

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

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.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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: 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:

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

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".

There is a large reduction in fragmentation events with some jitter around
the latencies and success rates. As before, the high THP allocation
success rate does mean the system is under a lot of pressure. However, as
the fragmentation events are reduced, it would be expected that the
long-term allocation success rate would be higher.

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 reclaimable 6398 8467

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.

failure scenario and testing patches and scenarios.

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.

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.

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.

partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c18911f

allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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.

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.

failure scenario and testing patches and scenarios.

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.

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.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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

for this adverse workload.

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

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.

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.

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.

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%)

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().

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/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

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: 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

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

Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where
as this series on top gains another 11%. This is from a different
machine than the data in the changelogs but the detailed data was not
collected as there was no substantial change in v2.
This patch (of 8):
Freeing a list of pages current enables/disables IRQs for each page
freed. This patch splits freeing a list of pages into two operations --
preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing. This is a
tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for
avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs.

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

Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where
as this series on top gains another 11%. This is from a different
machine than the data in the changelogs but the detailed data was not
collected as there was no substantial change in v2.
This patch (of 8):
Freeing a list of pages current enables/disables IRQs for each page
freed. This patch splits freeing a list of pages into two operations --
preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing. This is a
tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for
avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs.

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

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: 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

This patch (of 8):

preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing. This is a
tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for
avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs.

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

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: 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

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: 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

as this series on top gains another 11%. This is from a different
machine than the data in the changelogs but the detailed data was not
collected as there was no substantial change in v2.
This patch (of 8):
Freeing a list of pages current enables/disables IRQs for each page
freed. This patch splits freeing a list of pages into two operations --
preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing. This is a
tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for
avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs.

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

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().

__free_one_page(page, page_to_pfn(page), zone, order, mt,
|
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.
Benchmark provided by Jesper D Brouer(increase loop times to 10000000):

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.

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.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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.

Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent
throughout the series and will not be repeated.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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: 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

It appears to be a false positive in that the only way the lock ordering
should be inverted is if kswapd is waking itself and the wakeup
allocates debugging objects which should already be allocated if it's
kswapd doing the waking. 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.

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.

page_alloc: consider highatomic reserve in watermark fast
zone_watermark_fast was introduced by commit 48ee5f3696f6 ("mm,

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

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

To avoid the problem, zone_watermark_fast should consider highatomic

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 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().

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.
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().

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.

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: 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.

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

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().

[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.

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. In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed
when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation.
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
sync; \
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \
# taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \

Node 0 FilePages: 33619840 kB
# grep MemFree /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo

With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its
free memory is running out. It's the expected behaviour.

[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.

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.

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.

Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing

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

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.

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.

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

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. 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.

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.

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.

at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate

keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation
events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in

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.

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.

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.

at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate

keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation
events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in

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.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the

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):

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.

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.

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.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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 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. The kernels tested are

This test downloads a large tarfile and copies it with dd a number of

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.

This test just creates a large file mapping and writes to it linearly.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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: 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.

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. The kernels tested are

This test downloads a large tarfile and copies it with dd a number of
times - similar to the most recent bug report I've dealt with. 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.

This test just creates a large file mapping and writes to it linearly.
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: 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. The kernels tested are

This test downloads a large tarfile and copies it with dd a number of
times - similar to the most recent bug report I've dealt with. 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.

This test just creates a large file mapping and writes to it linearly.
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: 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 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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. 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.

The above failure happened when calling kmalloc() to allocate buffer with
GFP_DMA. It requests to allocate slab page from DMA zone while no managed
pages at all in there.
sr_probe()
--> get_capabilities()
--> buffer = kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA);
Because in the current kernel, dma-kmalloc will be created as long as
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. However, kdump kernel of x86_64 doesn't have
managed pages on DMA zone since commit 6f599d84231f ("x86/kdump: Always
reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified"). The
failure can be always reproduced.
For now, let's mute the warning of allocation failure if requesting pages
from DMA zone while no managed pages.

mm, oom: reorganize the oom report in dump_header
OOM report contains several sections. The first one is the allocation
context that has triggered the OOM. Then we have cpuset context followed
by the stack trace of the OOM path. The tird one is the OOM memory
information. Followed by the current memory state of all system tasks.
At last, we will show oom eligible tasks and the information about the
chosen oom victim.
One thing that makes parsing more awkward than necessary is that we do not
have a single and easily parsable line about the oom context. This patch
is reorganizing the oom report to

An admin can easily get the full oom context at a single line which
makes parsing much easier.

mm, oom: reorganize the oom report in dump_header
OOM report contains several sections. The first one is the allocation
context that has triggered the OOM. Then we have cpuset context followed
by the stack trace of the OOM path. The tird one is the OOM memory
information. Followed by the current memory state of all system tasks.
At last, we will show oom eligible tasks and the information about the
chosen oom victim.
One thing that makes parsing more awkward than necessary is that we do not
have a single and easily parsable line about the oom context. This patch
is reorganizing the oom report to
1) who invoked oom and what was the allocation request

An admin can easily get the full oom context at a single line which
makes parsing much easier.

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

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.

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.

lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotation
While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

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.

lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotation
While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd
On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous
pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes.
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. But now,
the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can
only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on
exhausted fairness batches alone. 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. When resetting the batches, use
atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the
delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

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.

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.

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.

It's weird to show that zone has enough free memory above min watermark
but OOMed with 4K GFP_KERNEL allocation due to reserved highatomic
pages. As last resort, try to unreserve highatomic pages again and if
it has moved pages to non-highatmoc free list, retry reclaim once more.

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.

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.

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, 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. 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.

mm/page_alloc: detect allocation forbidden by cpuset and bail out early
There was a report that starting an Ubuntu in docker while using cpuset
to bind it to movable nodes (a node only has movable zone, like a node
for hotplug or a Persistent Memory node in normal usage) will fail due
to memory allocation failure, and then OOM is involved and many other
innocent processes got killed.
It can be reproduced with command:
$ docker run -it --rm --cpuset-mems 4 ubuntu:latest bash -c "grep Mems_allowed /proc/self/status"
(where node 4 is a movable node)

The reason is that in this case, the target cpuset nodes only have
movable zone, while the creation of an OS in docker sometimes needs to
allocate memory in non-movable zones (dma/dma32/normal) like
GFP_HIGHUSER, and the cpuset limit forbids the allocation, then
out-of-memory killing is involved even when normal nodes and movable
nodes both have many free memory.
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.
[thanks to Micho Hocko and David Rientjes for suggesting not handling
it inside OOM code, adding cpuset check, refining comments]

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, 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

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

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.

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: 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).

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.

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.

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: 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.

[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.

There is a race window that the OOM reaper completes reclaiming the
first victim's memory while nothing but mutex_trylock() prevents the
first victim from calling out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory()
after memory allocation for page fault path failed due to being selected
as an OOM victim.
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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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: 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 results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). 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, page_alloc: disallow __GFP_COMP in alloc_pages_exact()
alloc_pages_exact*() allocates a page of sufficient order and then splits
it to return only the number of pages requested. That makes it
incompatible with __GFP_COMP, because compound pages cannot be split.
As shown by [1] things may silently work until the requested size
(possibly depending on user) stops being power of two. Then for
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, BUG_ON() triggers in split_page(). Without
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, consequences are unclear.
There are several options here, none of them great:
1) Don't do the splitting when __GFP_COMP is passed, and return the
whole compound page. However if caller then returns it via
free_pages_exact(), that will be unexpected and the freeing actions
there will be wrong.
2) Warn and remove __GFP_COMP from the flags. But the caller may have
really wanted it, so things may break later somewhere.
3) Warn and return NULL. However NULL may be unexpected, especially
for small sizes.
This patch picks option 2, because as Michal Hocko put it: "callers wanted
it" is much less probable than "caller is simply confused and more gfp
flags is surely better than fewer".

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:

This code is unused for now. It will be called later 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%)

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.

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.
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/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.

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)

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.

This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling

approach.
Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between

[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.

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: 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%)

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.
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.

nommu: clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions
Clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions to stop
free_hot_cold_page() from queueing and batching frees.
The problem is that under NOMMU conditions it is really important to be
able to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory, but when munmap() or
exit_mmap() releases big stretches of memory, return of these to the buddy
allocator can be deferred, and when it does finally happen, it can be in
small chunks.
Whilst the fragmentation this incurs isn't so much of a problem under MMU
conditions as userspace VM is glued together from individual pages with
the aid of the MMU, it is a real problem if there isn't an MMU.
By clamping the page freeing queue size to 0, pages are returned to the
allocator immediately, and the buddy detector is more likely to be able to
glue them together into large chunks immediately, and fragmentation is
less likely to occur.
By disabling batching of frees, and by turning off the trimming of excess
space during boot, Coldfire can manage to boot.

[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.

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. When the
: amount of kernel memory is well bounded for certain systems, it is
: better to aggressively reclaim from existing MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
: pageblocks rather than eagerly fallback to others.
:
: We have additional patches that help with this fragmentation if you're
: interested, specifically kcompactd compaction of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
: pageblocks triggered by fallback of non-__GFP_MOVABLE allocations and
: draining of pcp lists back to the zone free area to prevent stranding.

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%.

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()).
Below is an insight from David (thanks), where the problem can clearly be
seen:
"Start a VM with 4G. Hotplug 1G via virtio-mem and online it to

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

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.

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: 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: 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%)

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.

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

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/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

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.
