Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the

alloc_unbound_pwq() allocates slab object from pool_workqueue. This
kmem_cache requires 256 bytes alignment, but, current merging code
doesn't honor that, and merge it with kmalloc-256. kmalloc-256 requires
only cacheline size alignment so that above failure occurs. However, in
x86, kmalloc-256 is luckily aligned in 256 bytes, so the problem didn't
happen on it.
To fix this problem, this patch introduces alignment mismatch check in
find_mergeable(). This will fix the problem.

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

All the caller of __free_one_page() has similar freepage counting logic,
so we can move it to __free_one_page(). This reduce line of code and

In free_pcppages_bulk(), we use cached migratetype of freepage to
determine type of buddy list where freepage will be added. This
information is stored when freepage is added to pcp list, so if
isolation of pageblock of this freepage begins after storing, this
cached information could be stale. In other words, it has original
migratetype rather than MIGRATE_ISOLATE.
There are two problems caused by this stale information.
One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated.
Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage will be added to normal
buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And
the other problem is incorrect freepage accounting. Freepages on
isolate pageblock should not be counted for number of freepage.
Following is the code snippet in free_pcppages_bulk().
/* MIGRATE_MOVABLE list may include MIGRATE_RESERVEs */
__free_one_page(page, page_to_pfn(page), zone, 0, mt);
trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain(page, 0, mt);
if (likely(!is_migrate_isolate_page(page))) {
__mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, 1);
if (is_migrate_cma(mt))
__mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES, 1);
}
As you can see above snippet, current code already handle second
problem, incorrect freepage accounting, by re-fetching pageblock
migratetype through is_migrate_isolate_page(page).
But, because this re-fetched information isn't used for
__free_one_page(), first problem would not be solved. This patch try to
solve this situation to re-fetch pageblock migratetype before
__free_one_page() and to use it for __free_one_page().
In addition to move up position of this re-fetch, this patch use
optimization technique, re-fetching migratetype only if there is isolate
pageblock. Pageblock isolation is rare event, so we can avoid
re-fetching in common case with this optimization.
This patch also correct migratetype of the tracepoint output.

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.

Commit 7d49d88683 ("mm, compaction: reduce zone checking frequency in
the migration scanner") has a side-effect that changes the iteration
range calculation. Before the change, block_end_pfn is calculated using
start_pfn, but now it blindly adds pageblock_nr_pages to the previous
value.
This causes the problem that isolation_start_pfn is larger than
block_end_pfn when we isolate the page with more than pageblock order.
In this case, isolation would fail due to an invalid range parameter.
To prevent this, this patch implements skipping the range until a proper
target pageblock is met. Without this patch, CMA with more than
pageblock order always fails but with this patch it will succeed.

Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner:
"This update fixes a warning in the new pagecache_isize_extended() and
updates some related comments, another fix for zero-range
misbehaviour, and an unforntuately large set of fixes for regressions
in the bulkstat code.
The bulkstat fixes are large but necessary. I wouldn't normally push
such a rework for a -rcX update, but right now xfsdump can silently
create incomplete dumps on 3.17 and it's possible that even xfsrestore
won't notice that the dumps were incomplete. Hence we need to get
this update into 3.17-stable kernels ASAP.
In more detail, the refactoring work I committed in 3.17 has exposed a
major hole in our QA coverage. With both xfsdump (the major user of
bulkstat) and xfsrestore silently ignoring missing files in the
dump/restore process, incomplete dumps were going unnoticed if they
were being triggered. Many of the dump/restore filesets were so small
that they didn't evenhave a chance of triggering the loop iteration
bugs we introduced in 3.17, so we didn't exercise the code
sufficiently, either.
We have already taken steps to improve QA coverage in xfstests to
avoid this happening again, and I've done a lot of manual verification
of dump/restore on very large data sets (tens of millions of inodes)
of the past week to verify this patch set results in bulkstat behaving
the same way as it does on 3.16.
Unfortunately, the fixes are not exactly simple - in tracking down the
problem historic API warts were discovered (e.g xfsdump has been
working around a 20 year old bug in the bulkstat API for the past 10
years) and so that complicated the process of diagnosing and fixing
the problems. i.e. we had to fix bugs in the code as well as
discover and re-introduce the userspace visible API bugs that we
unwittingly "fixed" in 3.17 that xfsdump relied on to work correctly.
Summary:
- incorrect warnings about i_mutex locking in pagecache_isize_extended()
and updates comments to match expected locking
- another zero-range bug fix for stray file size updates

The SLUB cache merges caches with the same size and alignment and there
was long standing bug with this behavior:
- create the cache named "foo"
- create the cache named "bar" (which is merged with "foo")
- delete the cache named "foo" (but it stays allocated because "bar"
uses it)
- create the cache named "foo" again - it fails because the name "foo"
is already used
That bug was fixed in commit 694617474e ("slab_common: fix the check
for duplicate slab names") by not warning on duplicate cache names when
the SLUB subsystem is used.
Recently, cache merging was implemented the with SLAB subsystem too, in
12220dea07 ("mm/slab: support slab merge")). Therefore we need stop
checking for duplicate names even for the SLAB subsystem.
This patch fixes the bug by removing the check.

Commit 0a31bc97c8 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed
page migration to uncharge the old page right away. The page is locked,
unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback
ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly:
test_clear_page_writeback() migration
wait_on_page_writeback()
TestClearPageWriteback()
mem_cgroup_migrate()
clear PCG_USED
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
decrease memcg pages under writeback
release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock
The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a
function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path,
which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before
clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.
Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
the transaction and then uses it throughout. The charge will be
verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge
the page as long as that is still set. The RCU lock will protect the
memcg past uncharge.
As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
There is no actual difference:
old: 33.195102545 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% )
new: 33.199231369 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.03% )
The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the
same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced:

The detaled explanation is as follows:
When hot removing memory, pgdat is set to 0 in try_offline_node(). But
if the pgdat is allocated by bootmem allocator, the clearing step is
skipped.
And when hot adding the same memory, the uninitialized pgdat is reused.
But free_area_init_node() checks wether pgdat is set to zero. As a
result, free_area_init_node() hits WARN_ON().
This patch clears pgdat which is allocated by bootmem allocator in
try_offline_node().

If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never
collapse this memory into thp memory.
This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(),
clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags
until the final action of madvise_behavior(). This causes the
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when
the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set.
Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot
handler. There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after
madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem.
It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags
in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case
behavior into madvise_behavior(). I think it's best to just let it
always set vma->vm_flags itself.

Compound page should be freed by put_page() or free_pages() with correct
order. Not doing so will cause tail pages leaked.
The compound order can be obtained by compound_order() or use
HPAGE_PMD_ORDER in our case. Some people would argue the latter is
faster but I prefer the former which is more general.
This bug was observed not just on our servers (the worst case we saw is
11G leaked on a 48G machine) but also on our workstations running Ubuntu
based distro.
$ cat /proc/vmstat | grep thp_zero_page_alloc
thp_zero_page_alloc 55
thp_zero_page_alloc_failed 0
This means there is (thp_zero_page_alloc - 1) * (2M - 4K) memory leaked.

Commit edc2ca6124 ("mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from
isolate_migratepages_range()") commonizes isolate_migratepages variants
and make them use isolate_migratepages_block().
isolate_migratepages_block() could stop the execution when enough pages
are isolated, but, there is no code in isolate_migratepages_range() to
handle this case. In the result, even if isolate_migratepages_block()
returns prematurely without checking all pages in the range,
isolate_migratepages_block() is called repeately on the following
pageblock and some pages in the previous range are skipped to check.
Then, CMA is failed frequently due to this fact.
To fix this problem, this patch let isolate_migratepages_range() know
the situation that enough pages are isolated and stop the isolation in
that case.
Note that isolate_migratepages() has no such problem, because, it always
stops the isolation after just one call of isolate_migratepages_block().

Commit ff7ee93f47 ("cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup
allocations") introduces kmemleak_alloc() for alloc_page_cgroup(), but
corresponding kmemleak_free() is missing, which makes kmemleak be
wrongly disabled after memory offlining. Log is pasted at the end of
this commit message.
This patch add kmemleak_free() into free_page_cgroup(). During page
offlining, this patch removes corresponding entries in kmemleak rbtree.
After that, the freed memory can be allocated again by other subsystems
without killing kmemleak.

When unmapping a range of pages in zap_pte_range, the page being
unmapped is added to an mmu_gather_batch structure for asynchronous
freeing. If we run out of space in the batch structure before the range
has been completely unmapped, then we break out of the loop, force a
TLB flush and free the pages that we have batched so far. If there are
further pages to unmap, then we resume the loop where we left off.
Unfortunately, we forget to update addr when we break out of the loop,
which causes us to truncate the range being invalidated as the end
address is exclusive. When we re-enter the loop at the same address, the
page has already been freed and the pte_present test will fail, meaning
that we do not reconsider the address for invalidation.
This patch fixes the problem by incrementing addr by the PAGE_SIZE
before breaking out of the loop on batch failure.

Commit 95b0e655f9 ("ARM: mm: don't limit default CMA region only to
low memory") extended CMA memory reservation to allow usage of high
memory. It relied on commit f7426b983a ("mm: cma: adjust address limit
to avoid hitting low/high memory boundary") to ensure that the reserved
block never crossed the low/high memory boundary. While the
implementation correctly lowered the limit, it failed to consider the
case where the base..limit range crossed the low/high memory boundary
with enough space on each side to reserve the requested size on either
low or high memory.
Rework the base and limit adjustment to fix the problem. The function
now starts by rejecting the reservation altogether for fixed
reservations that cross the boundary, tries to reserve from high memory
first and then falls back to low memory.

The fixed parameter to cma_declare_contiguous() tells the function
whether the given base address must be honoured or should be considered
as a hint only. The API considers a zero base address as meaning any
base address, which must never be considered as a fixed value.
Part of the implementation correctly checks both fixed and base != 0,
but two locations check the fixed value only. Set fixed to false when
base is 0 to fix that and simplify the code.

"This is material that didn't make it to my 3.18-rc1 pull request for
various reasons, mostly related to timing and travel (LinuxCon EU /
LPC) plus a couple of fixes for recent bugs.
The only really new thing here is the PM QoS class for memory
bandwidth, but it is simple enough and users of it will be added in
the next cycle. One major change in behavior is that platform devices
enumerated by ACPI will use 32-bit DMA mask by default. Also included
is an ACPICA update to a new upstream release, but that's mostly
cleanups, changes in tools and similar. The rest is fixes and
cleanups mostly.

PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in
order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups
OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still
keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
freeze_processes finishes.
Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been
disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because
oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task
might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without
freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is,
however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case.
Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when
the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the
tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter
is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked
oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive
will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal.
Changes since v1
- push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into
check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more
readable as per Rafael

"This tree includes the following changes:
- fix memory hotplug

* 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/mm: Update memory map description to list hypervisor-reserved area
x86/mm, hibernate: Do not assume the first e820 area to be RAM
x86/mm/numa: Drop dead code and rename setup_node_data() to setup_alloc_data()

x86/mm/hotplug: Pass sync_global_pgds() a correct argument in remove_pagetable()
x86: Remove set_pmd_pfn
For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
writes.
Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */
assert(!soft_dirty(x));
*m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */
assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */
With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.
As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by
commit c9d0bf2414 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could
cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align
order is larger than cma->order_per_bit.
Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to
6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as
the expected align value. After using the current implementation however,
we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511.
This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

Commit bf0dea23a9 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache")
changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to
percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in
percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to
0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't
cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes
the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment.
Following bug report is reported from David Miller.
I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64:
[603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0
[603965.396987] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b60] free_block+0xa0/0x1a0
...
[603970.554394] log_unaligned: 333 callbacks suppressed
...
This patch provides a proper alignment parameter when allocating cpu
cache to fix this unaligned memory access problem on sparc64.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are...
- percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain
GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.
This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
writeback IOs.
Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe
("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
just now.
- percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
directly.
- The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced
single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.
There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of
conflicts with s390 and other trees. I'll send a separate pull
request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

For now, there are NCHUNKS of 64 freelists in zbud_pool, the last
unbuddied[63] freelist linked with all zbud pages which have free chunks
of 63. Calculating according to context of num_free_chunks(), our max
chunk number of unbuddied zbud page is 62, so none of zbud pages will be
added/removed in last freelist, but still we will try to find an unbuddied
zbud page in the last unused freelist, it is unneeded.
This patch redefines NCHUNKS to 63 as free chunk number in one zbud page,
hence we can decrease size of zpool and avoid accessing the last unused
freelist whenever failing to allocate zbud from freelist in zbud_alloc.

Change zsmalloc init_zspage() logic to iterate through each object on each
of its pages, checking the offset to verify the object is on the current
page before linking it into the zspage.
The current zsmalloc init_zspage free object linking code has logic that
relies on there only being one page per zspage when PAGE_SIZE is a
multiple of class->size. It calculates the number of objects for the
current page, and iterates through all of them plus one, to account for
the assumed partial object at the end of the page. While this currently
works, the logic can be simplified to just link the object at each
successive offset until the offset is larger than PAGE_SIZE, which does
not rely on PAGE_SIZE being a multiple of class->size.

zs_get_total_size_bytes returns a amount of memory zsmalloc consumed with
*byte unit* but zsmalloc operates *page unit* rather than byte unit so
let's change the API so benefit we could get is that reduce unnecessary
overhead (ie, change page unit with byte unit) in zsmalloc.
Since return type is pages, "zs_get_total_pages" is better than
"zs_get_total_size_bytes".

Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can
deplete system memory. Users have asked for a limit several times as even
without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the
platform. This patchset adds the feature.
Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used
frequently in later patches for the new feature.
Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page
so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT).
Patch 3 adds new feature. I added the feature into zram layer, not
zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any
other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary
branch of zsmalloc. In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the
feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc
easily but vice versa would be painful.
Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that
this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total
and ensures transient max are not missed.
This patch (of 4):
pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of
zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from
each size_class to report the sum.
It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see
the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov.
This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce
memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]).

vmstat workers are used for folding counter differentials into the zone,
per node and global counters at certain time intervals. They currently
run at defined intervals on all processors which will cause some holdoff
for processors that need minimal intrusion by the OS.
The current vmstat_update mechanism depends on a deferrable timer firing
every other second by default which registers a work queue item that runs
on the local CPU, with the result that we have 1 interrupt and one
additional schedulable task on each CPU every 2 seconds If a workload
indeed causes VM activity or multiple tasks are running on a CPU, then
there are probably bigger issues to deal with.
However, some workloads dedicate a CPU for a single CPU bound task. This
is done in high performance computing, in high frequency financial
applications, in networking (Intel DPDK, EZchip NPS) and with the advent
of systems with more and more CPUs over time, this may become more and
more common to do since when one has enough CPUs one cares less about
efficiently sharing a CPU with other tasks and more about efficiently
monopolizing a CPU per task.
The difference of having this timer firing and workqueue kernel thread
scheduled per second can be enormous. An artificial test measuring the
worst case time to do a simple "i++" in an endless loop on a bare metal
system and under Linux on an isolated CPU with dynticks and with and
without this patch, have Linux match the bare metal performance (~700
cycles) with this patch and loose by couple of orders of magnitude (~200k
cycles) without it[*]. The loss occurs for something that just calculates
statistics. For networking applications, for example, this could be the
difference between dropping packets or sustaining line rate.
Statistics are important and useful, but it would be great if there would
be a way to not cause statistics gathering produce a huge performance
difference. This patche does just that.
This patch creates a vmstat shepherd worker that monitors the per cpu
differentials on all processors. If there are differentials on a
processor then a vmstat worker local to the processors with the
differentials is created. That worker will then start folding the diffs
in regular intervals. Should the worker find that there is no work to be
done then it will make the shepherd worker monitor the differentials
again.
With this patch it is possible then to have periods longer than
2 seconds without any OS event on a "cpu" (hardware thread).
The patch shows a very minor increased in system performance.
