Huge zero page is allocated if page fault w/o FAULT_FLAG_WRITE flag.
The get_user_pages_fast() which called in madvise_hwpoison() will get
huge zero page if the page is not allocated before. Huge zero page is a
tranparent huge page, however, it is not an anonymous page.
memory_failure will split the huge zero page and trigger
BUG_ON(is_huge_zero_page(page));
After commit 98ed2b0052 ("mm/memory-failure: give up error handling
for non-tail-refcounted thp"), memory_failure will not catch non anon
thp from madvise_hwpoison path and this bug occur.
Fix it by catching non anon thp in memory_failure in order to not split
huge zero page in madvise_hwpoison path.
After this patch:

Hugetlbfs pages will get a refcount in get_any_page() or

Now page freeing code doesn't consider PageHWPoison as a bad page, so by
setting it before completing the page containment, we can prevent the
error page from being reused just after successful page migration.
I added TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON for try_to_unmap() to make sure that the
page table entry is transformed into migration entry, not to hwpoison
entry.

The race condition addressed in commit add05cecef ("mm: soft-offline:
don't free target page in successful page migration") was not closed
completely, because that can happen not only for soft-offline, but also
for hard-offline. Consider that a slab page is about to be freed into
buddy pool, and then an uncorrected memory error hits the page just
after entering __free_one_page(), then VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->flags &
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP) is triggered, despite the fact that it's not
necessary because the data on the affected page is not consumed.
To solve it, this patch drops __PG_HWPOISON from page flag checks at
allocation/free time. I think it's justified because __PG_HWPOISON
flags is defined to prevent the page from being reused, and setting it
outside the page's alloc-free cycle is a designed behavior (not a bug.)
For recent months, I was annoyed about BUG_ON when soft-offlined page
remains on lru cache list for a while, which is avoided by calling
put_page() instead of putback_lru_page() in page migration's success
path. This means that this patch reverts a major change from commit
add05cecef about the new refcounting rule of soft-offlined pages, so
"reuse window" revives. This will be closed by a subsequent patch.

"non anonymous thp" case is still racy with freeing thp, which causes
panic due to put_page() for refcount-0 page. It seems that closing up
this race might be hard (and/or not worth doing,) so let's give up the
error handling for this case.

Recently I addressed a few of hwpoison race problems and the patches are
merged on v4.2-rc1. It made progress, but unfortunately some problems
still remain due to less coverage of my testing. So I'm trying to fix
or avoid them in this series.
One point I'm expecting to discuss is that patch 4/5 changes the page
flag set to be checked on free time. In current behavior, __PG_HWPOISON
is not supposed to be set when the page is freed. I think that there is
no strong reason for this behavior, and it causes a problem hard to fix
only in error handler side (because __PG_HWPOISON could be set at
arbitrary timing.) So I suggest to change it.
With this patchset, hwpoison stress testing in official mce-test
testsuite (which previously failed) passes.
This patch (of 5):
In "just unpoisoned" path, we do put_page and then unlock_page, which is
a wrong order and causes "freeing locked page" bug. So let's fix it.

The shm implementation internally uses shmem or hugetlbfs inodes for shm
segments. As these inodes are never directly exposed to userspace and
only accessed through the shm operations which are already hooked by
security modules, mark the inodes with the S_PRIVATE flag so that inode
security initialization and permission checking is skipped.
This was motivated by the following lockdep warning:

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

Dave Chinner has properly pointed out that this is a deadlock in the
reclaim code because ext4 doesn't submit pages which are marked by
PG_writeback right away.
The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384e9d ("memcg: prevent OOM
with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs
was specified. The code has been changed by c3b94f44fc ("memcg:
further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the
__GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs
code. But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't
necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away.
ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily
submit the bio. Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and
mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up
waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted
yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes.
Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2)
before we go to wait on the writeback. The page fault path, which is
the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't
require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM
killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic.
As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already
so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem. Moreover he notes:
: For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion
: which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The
: writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten
: extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on
: page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not
: safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

CMA has alloc/free interface for debugging. It is intended that
alloc/free occurs in specific CMA region, but, currently, alloc/free
interface is on root dir due to the bug so we can't select CMA region
where alloc/free happens.
This patch fixes this problem by making alloc/free interface per CMA
region.

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

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

Today proc and sysfs do not contain any executable files. Several
applications today mount proc or sysfs without noexec and nosuid and
then depend on there being no exectuables files on proc or sysfs.
Having any executable files show on proc or sysfs would cause
a user space visible regression, and most likely security problems.
Therefore commit to never allowing executables on proc and sysfs by
adding a new flag to mark them as filesystems without executables and
enforce that flag.
Test the flag where MNT_NOEXEC is tested today, so that the only user
visible effect will be that exectuables will be treated as if the
execute bit is cleared.
The filesystems proc and sysfs do not currently incoporate any
executable files so this does not result in any user visible effects.
This makes it unnecessary to vet changes to proc and sysfs tightly for
adding exectuable files or changes to chattr that would modify
existing files, as no matter what the individual file say they will
not be treated as exectuable files by the vfs.
Not having to vet changes to closely is important as without this we
are only one proc_create call (or another goof up in the
implementation of notify_change) from having problematic executables
on proc. Those mistakes are all too easy to make and would create
a situation where there are security issues or the assumptions of
some program having to be broken (and cause userspace regressions).

Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right
circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if
the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated
on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with
do_anonymous_page().
Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on
anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not
shared.
For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops,
page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS.

Merge tag 'module_init-alternate_initcall-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non
modules.
This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init()
call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our
alternate priority initcalls.
Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a
runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls,
because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do.
For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch
specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code.
This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be
taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit
init ordering issue may lie uncovered. But I think it is still better
to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to
device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering.
Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in
commit c96d6660dc ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of
module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this
type of change isn't without precedent. It has also got the same
local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests
that I'm sending for this merge window have got.
Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows
up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat"

52ebea749a ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific
bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's
(bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and
referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all
non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and
indexed on bdi.
When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all
non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can
also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi
destruction is complete.
This patch fixes the bug by updating bdi destruction to not wait for
cong's to drain. A cong is unlinked from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on
bdi destuction regardless of its reference count as the bdi may go
away any point after destruction. wb_congested_put() checks whether
the cong is already unlinked on release.

52ebea749a ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific

(bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and

When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all
non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can
also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi
destruction is complete.
To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's
to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated
bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root
cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting
dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed.
This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They
are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during
bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way.
* As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested
initialization is moved into wb_init().
* When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting.
bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong
allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are
implemented.
* The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init().
This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior
differences but prepares for the actual fix.

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

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

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

early_pfn_in_nid() and meminit_pfn_in_nid() are small functions that are
unnecessarily visible outside memory initialisation. As well as
unnecessary visibility, it's unnecessary function call overhead when
initialising pages. This patch moves the helpers inline.

__early_pfn_to_nid() use static variables to cache recent lookups as
memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory
initialisation is single-threaded. Parallel initialisation of struct
pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid()
SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information.
early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early
in boot due to the use of a global static variable. meminit_pfn_in_nid()
is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

__free_pages_bootmem prepares a page for release to the buddy allocator
and assumes that the struct page is initialised. Parallel initialisation
of struct pages defers initialisation and __free_pages_bootmem can be
called for struct pages that cannot yet map struct page to PFN. This
patch passes PFN to __free_pages_bootmem with no other functional change.

Currently each page struct is set as reserved upon initialization. This
patch leaves the reserved bit clear and only sets the reserved bit when it
is known the memory was allocated by the bootmem allocator. This makes it
easier to distinguish between uninitialised struct pages and reserved
struct pages in later patches.

Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used. This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.
After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine
[ 7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
[ 7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
[ 7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
[ 7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
On a 1TB machine, I see
[ 8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
[ 8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
[ 8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
[ 8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again. In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.
Nate Zimmer said:
: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as
: measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484
: seconds to exactly 1000 seconds.
Waiman Long said:
: I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system. From
: grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s
: after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%).
Daniel Blueman said:
: On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing
: stock 4.0 boot in 7136s. This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with
: this patchset. Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350)
: drops this to 1045s.
This patch (of 13):
As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.
This helper function will be used for that expansion.

This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit
4066c33d03 and also reverts the portions that introduced the
KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation
is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number.
The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86
configuration under KVM using either SLAB or SLUB.

"monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even
faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of
the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with
trace events.
Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion
with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
not be named "ftrace". These include:
include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h
include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h
Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*()
(un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event()
ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name()
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled()-> trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call()
ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call()
Structures have been renamed:
ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file
ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class}
ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer
ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir

ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call
ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call
And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

Remove zpool_evict() helper function. As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.
Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function. However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page. This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

Since commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.
This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.
The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g. MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes. However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.
In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does. If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations. The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.
The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.
> numactl --hardware

Before the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.197 s/loop, 0.276 ms/page, 7249.168 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1786 different pages

transhuge-stress: 2.962 s/loop, 0.372 ms/page, 5376.172 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3873 different pages
Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".
After the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.183 s/loop, 0.274 ms/page, 7295.516 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1760 different pages
> numactl -p0 -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.878 s/loop, 0.361 ms/page, 5533.638 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1750 different pages
> numactl -p1 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 4.628 s/loop, 0.581 ms/page, 3440.893 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3918 different pages
The -p parameter is respected regardless of cpu binding.
> numactl -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.202 s/loop, 0.277 ms/page, 7230.003 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1750 different pages
> numactl -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 3.020 s/loop, 0.379 ms/page, 5273.324 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3916 different pages
Without -p parameter, hugepage restriction to CPU-local node works as before.

One of the rocksdb people noticed that when you do something like this
fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, 0, 10M)
pwrite(fd, buf, 5M, 0)
ftruncate(5M)
on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun
issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be
getting ENOSPC. This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the
other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF).
I tested it locally to make sure it worked properly with the following
xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 10M" -c "pwrite 0 5M" -c "truncate 5M" file
Without the patch we have "Blocks: 20480", with the patch we have the
correct value of "Blocks: 10240".

The cause is the last region was missed at the and of hot add memory,
and p_start, p_end, node_start were not reset, so when hot add memory to
a new node, it will consider they are not contiguous blocks and print
the previous one. So we print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot
add memory to avoid the confusion.

The kmemleak memory scanning uses finer grained object->lock spinlocks
primarily to avoid races with the memory block freeing. However, the
pointer lookup in the rb tree requires the kmemleak_lock to be held.
This is currently done in the find_and_get_object() function for each
pointer-like location read during scanning. While this allows a low
latency on kmemleak_*() callbacks on other CPUs, the memory scanning is
slower.
This patch moves the kmemleak_lock outside the scan_block() loop,
acquiring/releasing it only once per scanned memory block. The
allow_resched logic is moved outside scan_block() and a new
scan_large_block() function is implemented which splits large blocks in
MAX_SCAN_SIZE chunks with cond_resched() calls in-between. A redundant
(object->flags & OBJECT_NO_SCAN) check is also removed from
scan_object().
With this patch, the kmemleak scanning performance is significantly
improved: at least 50% with lock debugging disabled and over an order of
magnitude with lock proving enabled (on an arm64 system).

While very unlikely (usually kmemleak or sl*b bug), the create_object()
function in mm/kmemleak.c may fail to insert a newly allocated object into
the rb tree. When this happens, kmemleak disables itself and prints
additional information about the object already found in the rb tree.
Such printing is done with the parent->lock acquired, however the
kmemleak_lock is already held. This is a potential race with the scanning
thread which acquires object->lock and kmemleak_lock in a
This patch removes the locking around the 'parent' object information
printing. Such object cannot be freed or removed from object_tree_root
and object_list since kmemleak_lock is already held. There is a very
small risk that some of the object data is being modified on another CPU
but the only downside is inconsistent information printing.

Calling delete_object_*() on the same pointer is not a standard use case
(unless there is a bug in the code calling kmemleak_free()). However,
during kmemleak disabling (error or user triggered via /sys), there is a
potential race between kmemleak_free() calls on a CPU and
__kmemleak_do_cleanup() on a different CPU.
The current delete_object_*() implementation first performs a look-up
holding kmemleak_lock, increments the object->use_count and then
re-acquires kmemleak_lock to remove the object from object_tree_root and
object_list.
This patch simplifies the delete_object_*() mechanism to both look up
and remove an object from the object_tree_root and object_list
atomically (guarded by kmemleak_lock). This allows safe concurrent
calls to delete_object_*() on the same pointer without additional
locking for synchronising the kmemleak_free_enabled flag.
A side effect is a slight improvement in the delete_object_*() performance
by avoiding acquiring kmemleak_lock twice and incrementing/decrementing
object->use_count.

The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes. Callbacks like
kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care
of by the object->lock spinlock. Such lock also prevents a memory block
from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the
kmemleak_free() -> ... -> __delete_object() function until the lock is
released in scan_object().
When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g. it fails to allocate its metadata),
kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on
freed objects. If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time,
kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete,
allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the
case of vfree()). This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a
page fault.
This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the
overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the
object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed. The
kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is
only called during boot before the scanning thread started.

memcg->under_oom tracks whether the memcg is under OOM conditions and is
an atomic_t counter managed with mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom(). While
atomic_t appears to be simple synchronization-wise, when used as a
synchronization construct like here, it's trickier and more error-prone
due to weak memory ordering rules, especially around atomic_read(), and
false sense of security.
For example, both non-trivial read sites of memcg->under_oom are a bit
problematic although not being actually broken.
* mem_cgroup_oom_register_event()
It isn't explicit what guarantees the memory ordering between event
addition and memcg->under_oom check. This isn't broken only because
memcg_oom_lock is used for both event list and memcg->oom_lock.
* memcg_oom_recover()
The lockless test doesn't have any explanation why this would be
safe.
mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom() are very cold paths and there's no point
in avoiding locking memcg_oom_lock there. This patch converts
memcg->under_oom from atomic_t to int, puts their modifications under
memcg_oom_lock and documents why the lockless test in
memcg_oom_recover() is safe.

Change frontswap single pointer to a singly linked list of frontswap
implementations. Update Xen tmem implementation as register no longer
returns anything.
Frontswap only keeps track of a single implementation; any
implementation that registers second (or later) will replace the
previously registered implementation, and gets a pointer to the previous
implementation that the new implementation is expected to pass all
frontswap functions to if it can't handle the function itself. However
that method doesn't really make much sense, as passing that work on to
every implementation adds unnecessary work to implementations; instead,
frontswap should simply keep a list of all registered implementations
and try each implementation for any function. Most importantly, neither
of the two currently existing frontswap implementations in the kernel
actually do anything with any previous frontswap implementation that
they replace when registering.
This allows frontswap to successfully manage multiple implementations by
keeping a list of them all.

If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using

By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures. 64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ... or about 1.5% of total
system memory. For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory

Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).
But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.
Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.
Gen1: All memory is mirrored
Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
mirror
Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications
Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
Pro: Keep more of the capacity
Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance
Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
controller
Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
Con: I have to write memory management code to implement
The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:
1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
allocations
2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
page_alloc.c is scary).
This patch (of 3):
Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
attribute. No functional changes

do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be

Before the pages are actually added to the reserve map, these routines

While working on hugetlbfs fallocate support, I noticed the following race
in the existing code. It is unlikely that this race is hit very often in
the current code. However, if more functionality to add and remove pages
to hugetlbfs mappings (such as fallocate) is added the likelihood of
hitting this race will increase.
alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use information from the reserve
map to determine if there are enough available huge pages to complete the
operation, as well as adjust global reserve and subpool usage counts. The
order of operations is as follows:
- call region_chg() to determine the expected change based on reserve map
- determine if enough resources are available for this operation
- adjust global counts based on the expected change
- call region_add() to update the reserve map
The issue is that reserve map could change between the call to region_chg
and region_add. In this case, the counters which were adjusted based on
the output of region_chg will not be correct.
In order to hit this race today, there must be an existing shared hugetlb
mmap created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. A page fault to allocate a huge
page via this mapping must occur at the same another task is mapping the
same region without the MAP_NORESERVE flag.
The patch set does not prevent the race from happening. Rather, it adds
simple functionality to detect when the race has occurred. If a race is
detected, then the incorrect counts are adjusted.
Review comments pointed out the need for documentation of the existing
region/reserve map routines. This patch set also adds documentation in
this area.
This patch (of 3):
This is a documentation only patch and does not modify any code.
Descriptions of the routines used for reserve map/region tracking are
added.

kenter/kleave/kdebug are wrapper macros to print functions flow and debug

was controlled by "#if 0" construction. It is questionable if anyone is
using them [1] now.
This patch removes these macros, converts numerous printk(KERN_WARNING,

We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear. Add
_huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on
hugepage pte.
We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect,
pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence
indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes

Architectures like ppc64 [1] need to do special things while clearing pmd
before a collapse. For them this operation is largely different from a
normal hugepage pte clear. Hence add a separate function to clear pmd
before collapse. After this patch pmdp_* functions operate only on
hugepage pte, and not on regular pmd_t values pointing to page table.
[1] ppc64 needs to invalidate all the normal page pte mappings we already
have inserted in the hardware hash page table. But before doing that we
need to make sure there are no parallel hash page table insert going on.
So we need to do a kick_all_cpus_sync() before flushing the older hash
table entries. By moving this to a separate function we capture these
details and mention how it is different from a hugepage pte clear.
This patch is a cleanup and only does code movement for clarity. There
should not be any change in functionality.

Historically memcg overhead was high even if memcg was unused. This has

That is showing that 6.64% of system CPU cycles were in memcontrol.c and
dominated by mem_cgroup_try_charge. The annotation shows that the bulk
of the cost was checking PageSwapCache which is expected to be cache hot
but is very expensive. The problem appears to be that __SetPageUptodate
is called just before the check which is a write barrier. It is
required to make sure struct page and page data is written before the
PTE is updated and the data visible to userspace. memcg charging does
not require or need the barrier but gets unfairly hit with the cost so
this patch attempts the charging before the barrier. Aside from the
accidental cost to memcg there is the added benefit that the barrier is
avoided if the page cannot be charged. When applied the relevant
profile summary is as follows.
/usr/src/linux-4.0-chargefirst-v2r1/mm/memcontrol.c 3.7907 223277

That brings the overhead down to 3.79% and leaves the memcg fault
accounting to the root cgroup but it's an improvement. The difference
in headline performance of the page fault microbench is marginal as
memcg is such a small component of it.

hugetlb pages uses add_to_page_cache to track shared mappings. This is
OK from the data structure point of view but it is less so from the
NR_FILE_PAGES accounting:
- huge pages are accounted as 4k which is clearly wrong
- this counter is used as the amount of the reclaimable page
cache which is incorrect as well because hugetlb pages are
special and not reclaimable
- the counter is then exported to userspace via /proc/meminfo
(in Cached:), /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo as
nr_file_pages which is confusing at least:
Cached: 8883504 kB
HugePages_Free: 8348
...
Cached: 8916048 kB
HugePages_Free: 156
...
thats 8192 huge pages allocated which is ~16G accounted as 32M
There are usually not that many huge pages in the system for this to
make any visible difference e.g. by fooling __vm_enough_memory or
zone_pagecache_reclaimable.
Fix this by special casing huge pages in both __delete_from_page_cache
and __add_to_page_cache_locked. replace_page_cache_page is currently
only used by fuse and that shouldn't touch hugetlb pages AFAICS but it
is more robust to check for special casing there as well.
Hugetlb pages shouldn't get to any other paths where we do accounting:
- migration - we have a special handling via
hugetlbfs_migrate_page
- shmem - doesn't handle hugetlb pages directly even for
SHM_HUGETLB resp. MAP_HUGETLB
- swapcache - hugetlb is not swapable
This has a user visible effect but I believe it is reasonable because the
previously exported number is simply bogus.
An alternative would be to account hugetlb pages with their real size and
treat them similar to shmem. But this has some drawbacks.
First we would have to special case in kernel users of NR_FILE_PAGES and
considering how hugetlb is special we would have to do it everywhere. We
do not want Cached exported by /proc/meminfo to include it because the
value would be even more misleading.
__vm_enough_memory and zone_pagecache_reclaimable would have to do the
same thing because those pages are simply not reclaimable. The correction
is even not trivial because we would have to consider all active hugetlb
page sizes properly. Users of the counter outside of the kernel would
have to do the same.
So the question is why to account something that needs to be basically
excluded for each reasonable usage. This doesn't make much sense to me.
It seems that this has been broken since hugetlb was introduced but I
haven't checked the whole history.

The should_alloc_retry() function was meant to encapsulate retry
conditions of the allocator slowpath, but there are still checks
remaining in the main function, and much of how the retrying is
performed also depends on the OOM killer progress. The physical
separation of those conditions make the code hard to follow.
Inline the should_alloc_retry() checks. Notes:
- The __GFP_NOFAIL check is already done in __alloc_pages_may_oom(),
replace it with looping on OOM killer progress
- The pm_suspended_storage() check is meant to skip the OOM killer
when reclaim has no IO available, move to __alloc_pages_may_oom()
- The order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY order is re-united with its original
counterpart of checking whether reclaim actually made any progress

The zonelist locking and the oom_sem are two overlapping locks that are
used to serialize global OOM killing against different things.
The historical zonelist locking serializes OOM kills from allocations with
overlapping zonelists against each other to prevent killing more tasks
than necessary in the same memory domain. Only when neither tasklists nor
zonelists from two concurrent OOM kills overlap (tasks in separate memcgs
bound to separate nodes) are OOM kills allowed to execute in parallel.
The younger oom_sem is a read-write lock to serialize OOM killing against
the PM code trying to disable the OOM killer altogether.
However, the OOM killer is a fairly cold error path, there is really no
reason to optimize for highly performant and concurrent OOM kills. And
the oom_sem is just flat-out redundant.
Replace both locking schemes with a single global mutex serializing OOM
kills regardless of context.

It turns out that the mechanism to wait for exiting OOM victims is less
generic than it looks: it won't issue wakeups unless the OOM killer is
disabled.
The reason this check was added was the thought that, since only the OOM
disabling code would wait on this queue, wakeup operations could be
saved when that specific consumer is known to be absent.
However, this is quite the handgrenade. Later attempts to reuse the
waitqueue for other purposes will lead to completely unexpected bugs and
the failure mode will appear seemingly illogical. Generally, providers
shouldn't make unnecessary assumptions about consumers.
This could have been replaced with waitqueue_active(), but it only saves
a few instructions in one of the coldest paths in the kernel. Simply
remove it.

Rename unmark_oom_victim() to exit_oom_victim(). Marking and unmarking
are related in functionality, but the interface is not symmetrical at
all: one is an internal OOM killer function used during the killing, the
other is for an OOM victim to signal its own death on exit later on.
This has locking implications, see follow-up changes.
While at it, rename mark_tsk_oom_victim() to mark_oom_victim(), which

This can result in a race between do_wp_page() and shrink_active_list()
as follows.
In do_wp_page() we can call page_move_anon_rmap(), which sets
page->mapping as follows:
anon_vma = (void *) anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON;
page->mapping = (struct address_space *) anon_vma;
The page in question may be on an LRU list, because nowhere in
do_wp_page() we remove it from the list, neither do we take any LRU
related locks. Although the page is locked, shrink_active_list() can
still call page_referenced() on it concurrently, because the latter does
not require an anonymous page to be locked:

page_move_anon_rmap

rmap_walk_file
BUG
page->mapping += PAGE_MAPPING_ANON
This patch fixes this race by explicitly forbidding the compiler to split

memory_failure() is supposed not to handle thp itself, but to split it.
But if something were wrong and page_action() were called on thp,
me_huge_page() (action routine for hugepages) should be better to take
no action, rather than to take wrong action prepared for hugetlb (which
triggers BUG_ON().)
This change is for potential problems, but makes sense to me because thp
is an actively developing feature and this code path can be open in the

When soft offline successfully migrates page, the source page is supposed
to be freed. But there is a race condition where a source page looks
isolated (i.e. the refcount is 0 and the PageHWPoison is set) but
somewhat linked to pcplist. Then another soft offline event calls
drain_all_pages() and tries to free such hwpoisoned page, which is
forbidden.
This odd page state seems to happen due to the race between put_page() in
putback_lru_page() and __pagevec_lru_add_fn(). But I don't want to play
with tweaking drain code as done in commit 9ab3b598d2 "mm: hwpoison:
drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()", or to change page
freeing code for this soft offline's purpose.
Instead, let's think about the difference between hard offline and soft
offline. There is an interesting difference in how to isolate the in-use
page between these, that is, hard offline marks PageHWPoison of the target
page at first, and doesn't free it by keeping its refcount 1. OTOH, soft
offline tries to free the target page then marks PageHWPoison. This
difference might be the source of complexity and result in bugs like the
above. So making soft offline isolate with keeping refcount can be a
solution for this problem.
We can pass to page migration code the "reason" which shows the caller, so
let's use this more to avoid calling putback_lru_page() when called from
soft offline, which effectively does the isolation for soft offline. With
this change, target pages of soft offline never be reused without changing
migratetype, so this patch also removes the related code.

memory_failure() can run in 2 different mode (specified by
MF_COUNT_INCREASED) in page refcount perspective. When
MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set, memory_failure() assumes that the caller
takes a refcount of the target page. And if cleared, memory_failure()
takes it in it's own.
In current code, however, refcounting is done differently in each caller.
For example, madvise_hwpoison() uses get_user_pages_fast() and
hwpoison_inject() uses get_page_unless_zero(). So this inconsistent
refcounting causes refcount failure especially for thp tail pages.
Typical user visible effects are like memory leak or
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page_count(page)) in isolate_lru_page().
To fix this refcounting issue, this patch introduces get_hwpoison_page()
to handle thp tail pages in the same manner for each caller of hwpoison
code.
memory_failure() might fail to split thp and in such case it returns
without completing page isolation. This is not good because PageHWPoison
on the thp is still set and there's no easy way to unpoison such thps. So
this patch try to roll back any action to the thp in "non anonymous thp"
case and "thp split failed" case, expecting an MCE(SRAR) generated by
later access afterward will properly free such thps.

memory_failure() doesn't handle thp itself at this time and need to split
it before doing isolation. Currently thp is split in the middle of
hwpoison_user_mappings(), but there're corner cases where memory_failure()
wrongly tries to handle thp without splitting.
1) "non anonymous" thp, which is not a normal operating mode of thp,
but a memory error could hit a thp before anon_vma is initialized. In
such case, split_huge_page() fails and me_huge_page() (intended for
hugetlb) is called for thp, which triggers BUG_ON in page_hstate().
2) !PageLRU case, where hwpoison_user_mappings() returns with
SWAP_SUCCESS and the result is the same as case 1.
memory_failure() can't avoid splitting, so let's split it more earlier,
which also reduces code which are prepared for both of normal page and
thp.

The name SWAP implies that we are dealing with anonymous pages only. In
fact, the original patch that introduced the min_unmapped_ratio logic
was to fix an issue related to file pages. Rename it to RECLAIM_UNMAP
to match what does.
Historically, commit a6dc60f897 ("vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to
may_unmap") renamed .may_swap to .may_unmap, leaving RECLAIM_SWAP
behind. commit 2e2e425989 ("vmscan,memcg: reintroduce sc->may_swap")
reintroduced .may_swap for memory controller.

Based upon 675becce15 ("mm: vmscan: do not throttle based on pfmemalloc
reserves if node has no ZONE_NORMAL") from Mel.
We have a system with the following topology:
# numactl -H
available: 3 nodes (0,2-3)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
node 0 size: 28273 MB
node 0 free: 27323 MB
node 2 cpus:
node 2 size: 16384 MB
node 2 free: 0 MB
node 3 cpus: 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47
node 3 size: 30533 MB
node 3 free: 13273 MB
node distances:
node 0 2 3
0: 10 20 20
2: 20 10 20
3: 20 20 10
Node 2 has no free memory, because:
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB/nr_hugepages
1
This leads to the following zoneinfo:
Node 2, zone DMA
pages free 0
min 1840
low 2300
high 2760
scanned 0
spanned 262144
present 262144
managed 262144
...
all_unreclaimable: 1
If one then attempts to allocate some normal 16M hugepages via
echo 37 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
The echo never returns and kswapd2 consumes CPU cycles.
This is because throttle_direct_reclaim ends up calling
wait_event(pfmemalloc_wait, pfmemalloc_watermark_ok...).
pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() in turn checks all zones on the node if there
are any reserves, and if so, then indicates the watermarks are ok, by
seeing if there are sufficient free pages.
675becce15 added a condition already for memoryless nodes. In this case,
though, the node has memory, it is just all consumed (and not
reclaimable). Effectively, though, the result is the same on this call to
pfmemalloc_watermark_ok() and thus seems like a reasonable additional
condition.
With this change, the afore-mentioned 16M hugepage allocation attempt
succeeds and correctly round-robins between Nodes 1 and 3.

kernel BUG at mm/swap.c:134!
The problem can be reproduced by playing *two* audio files at the same
time and then stopping one of players. I used two mplayers to trigger
this.
The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() which triggers the bug is bogus:
Sound subsystem uses compound pages for its buffers, but unlike most
__GFP_COMP sound maps compound pages to userspace with PTEs.
In our case with two players map the buffer twice and therefore elevates
page_mapcount() on tail pages by two. When one of players exits it
unmaps the VMA and drops page_mapcount() to one and try to release
reference on the page with put_page().
My commit changes which path it takes under put_compound_page(). It hits
put_unrefcounted_compound_page() where VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is. It sees
page_mapcount() == 1. The function wrongly assumes that subpages of
compound page cannot be be mapped by itself with PTEs..
The solution is simply drop the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE().
Note: there's no need to move the check under put_page_testzero().
Allocator will check the mapcount by itself before putting on free list.

p = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
/*

Let's fix it by triggering populating of VMA in mprotect_fixup() on this

If nothing else, this causes unnecessary freezing(current) test, and also

This patch moves the initialization of the size_index table slightly
earlier so that the first few kmem_cache_node's can be safely allocated
when KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is large.
There are currently two ways to generate indices into kmalloc_caches (via
kmalloc_index() and via the size_index table in slab_common.c) and on some
arches (possibly only MIPS) they potentially disagree with each other
until create_kmalloc_caches() has been called. It seems that the
intention is that the size_index table is a fast equivalent to
kmalloc_index() and that create_kmalloc_caches() patches the table to
return the correct value for the cases where kmalloc_index()'s
if-statements apply.
The failing sequence was:
* kmalloc_caches contains NULL elements
* kmem_cache_init initialises the element that 'struct
kmem_cache_node' will be allocated to. For 32-bit Mips, this is a
56-byte struct and kmalloc_index returns KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW (7).
* init_list is called which calls kmalloc_node to allocate a 'struct
kmem_cache_node'.
* kmalloc_slab selects the kmem_caches element using
size_index[size_index_elem(size)]. For MIPS, size is 56, and the
expression returns 6.
* This element of kmalloc_caches is NULL and allocation fails.
* If it had not already failed, it would have called
create_kmalloc_caches() at this point which would have changed
size_index[size_index_elem(size)] to 7.
I don't believe the bug to be LLVM specific but GCC doesn't normally
encounter the problem. I haven't been able to identify exactly what GCC
is doing better (probably inlining) but it seems that GCC is managing to
optimize to the point that it eliminates the problematic allocations.
This theory is supported by the fact that GCC can be made to fail in the
same way by changing inline, __inline, __inline__, and __always_inline in
include/linux/compiler-gcc.h such that they don't actually inline things.

The slub_debug=PU,kmalloc-xx cannot work because in the

create_kmalloc_cache() so the kmem_cache_flags() would not set the

It appears that, at some point last year, XFS made directory handling
changes which bring it into lockdep conflict with shmem_zero_setup():
it is surprising that mmap() can clone an inode while holding mmap_sem,
but that has been so for many years.
Since those few lockdep traces that I've seen all implicated selinux,
I'm hoping that we can use the __shmem_file_setup(,,,S_PRIVATE) which
v3.13's commit c727709092 ("security: shmem: implement kernel private
shmem inodes") introduced to avoid LSM checks on kernel-internal inodes:
the mmap("/dev/zero") cloned inode is indeed a kernel-internal detail.
This also covers the !CONFIG_SHMEM use of ramfs to support /dev/zero
(and MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS). I thought there were also drivers
which cloned inode in mmap(), but if so, I cannot locate them now.

This was using module_init, but there is no way this code can
be modular. In the non-modular case, a module_init becomes a
device_initcall, but this really isn't a device. So we should
choose a more appropriate initcall bucket to put it in.
In order of execution, our close choices are:
fs_initcall(fn)
rootfs_initcall(fn)
device_initcall(fn)
late_initcall(fn)
..and since the initcall here goes after debugfs, we really
should be post-rootfs, which means late_initcall makes the
most sense here.

Compiling some arm/m68k configs with "# CONFIG_MMU is not set" reveals
two more instances of module_init being used for code that can't
possibly be modular, as CONFIG_MMU is either on or off.
We replace them with subsys_initcall as per what was done in other
mmu-enabled code.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier).
One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would
be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at the actual init
functions themselves, we see they are just sysctl setup stuff, and
hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable. At the same
time it minimizes the risk of changing the priority too drastically all
at once. We can adjust further in the future.
Also, a couple instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

Reproduce method (re-add a node)::
Hot-add nodeA --> remove nodeA --> hot-add nodeA (panic)
This seems an use-after-free problem, and the root cause is
zone->wait_table was not set to *NULL* after free it in
try_offline_node.
When hot re-add a node, we will reuse the pgdat of it, so does the zone
struct, and when add pages to the target zone, it will init the zone
first (including the wait_table) if the zone is not initialized. The
judgement of zone initialized is based on zone->wait_table:
static inline bool zone_is_initialized(struct zone *zone)
{
return !!zone->wait_table;
}
so if we do not set the zone->wait_table to *NULL* after free it, the
memory hotplug routine will skip the init of new zone when hot re-add
the node, and the wait_table still points to the freed memory, then we
will access the invalid address when trying to wake up the waiting
people after the i/o operation with the page is done, such as mentioned
above.

The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb
(bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the
framework for the actual switching.
This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two
functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one
switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a
mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates.
The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters
but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback
respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another,
the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together;
unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu
operations which are performed without holding any lock in some
places.
This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such
lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map
to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted,
mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction.
In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU
grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which
guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against
mapping->tree_lock.
This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching.
v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside
mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order.
v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too.
Function names and comments updated accordingly.

Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
foreign inode writeback detection. wbc (writeback_control) is the
natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
submission paths.
This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
inode being written back. IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves. This
leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user. The function is removed.
wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback). Future
patches will add more for foreign inode detection. The association is
established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
foreign inodes to other wb's.
As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
changes.
v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
wb before dereferencing it. This can happen when pageout() is
writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
path. As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
actual writing to the usual writeback path.

Because writeback wasn't cgroup aware before, the usual dirty
throttling mechanism in balance_dirty_pages() didn't work for
processes under memcg limit. The writeback path didn't know how much
memory is available or how fast the dirty pages are being written out
for a given memcg and balance_dirty_pages() didn't have any measure of
IO back pressure for the memcg.
To work around the issue, memcg implemented an ad-hoc dirty throttling
mechanism in the direct reclaim path by stalling on pages under
writeback which are encountered during direct reclaim scan. This is
rather ugly and crude - none of the configurability, fairness, or
bandwidth-proportional distribution of the normal path.
The previous patches implemented proper memcg aware dirty throttling
when cgroup writeback is in use making the ad-hoc mechanism
unnecessary. This patch disables direct reclaim stalling for such
case.
Note: I disabled the parts which seemed obvious and it behaves fine
while testing but my understanding of this code path is
rudimentary and it's quite possible that I got something wrong.
Please let me know if I got some wrong or more global_reclaim()
sites should be updated.
v2: The original patch removed the direct stalling mechanism which
breaks legacy hierarchies. Conditionalize instead of removing.

While cgroup writeback support now connects memcg and blkcg so that
writeback IOs are properly attributed and controlled, the IO back
pressure propagation mechanism implemented in balance_dirty_pages()
and its subroutines wasn't aware of cgroup writeback.
Processes belonging to a memcg may have access to only subset of total
memory available in the system and not factoring this into dirty
throttling rendered it completely ineffective for processes under
memcg limits and memcg ended up building a separate ad-hoc degenerate
mechanism directly into vmscan code to limit page dirtying.
The previous patches updated balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines
so that they can deal with multiple wb_domain's (writeback domains)
and defined per-memcg wb_domain. Processes belonging to a non-root
memcg are bound to two wb_domains, global wb_domain and memcg
wb_domain, and should be throttled according to IO pressures from both
domains. This patch updates dirty throttling code so that it repeats
similar calculations for the two domains - the differences between the
two are few and minor - and applies the lower of the two sets of
resulting constraints.
wb_over_bg_thresh(), which controls when background writeback
terminates, is also updated to consider both global and memcg
wb_domains. It returns true if dirty is over bg_thresh for either
domain.
This makes the dirty throttling mechanism operational for memcg
domains including writeback-bandwidth-proportional dirty page
distribution inside them but the ad-hoc memcg throttling mechanism in
vmscan is still in place. The next patch will rip it out.

The amount of available memory to a memcg wb_domain can change as
memcg configuration changes. A domain's ->dirty_limit exists to
smooth out sudden drops in dirty threshold; however, when a domain's
size actually drops significantly, it hinders the dirty throttling
from adjusting to the new configuration leading to unexpected
behaviors including unnecessary OOM kills.
This patch resolves the issue by adding wb_domain_size_changed() which
resets ->dirty_limit[_tstmp] and making memcg call it on configuration
changes.

Dirtyable memory is distributed to a wb (bdi_writeback) according to
the relative bandwidth the wb is writing out in the whole system.
This distribution is global - each wb is measured against all other
wb's and gets the proportinately sized portion of the memory in the
whole system.
For cgroup writeback, the amount of dirtyable memory is scoped by
memcg and thus each wb would need to be measured and controlled in its
memcg. IOW, a wb will belong to two writeback domains - the global
and memcg domains.
The previous patches laid the groundwork to support the two wb_domains
and this patch implements memcg wb_domain. memcg->cgwb_domain is
initialized on css online and destroyed on css release,
wb->memcg_completions is added, and __wb_writeout_inc() is updated to
increment completions against both global and memcg wb_domains.
The following patches will update balance_dirty_pages() and its
subroutines to actually consider memcg wb_domain for throttling.

dirty_background_bytes settings directly. If those are set and
domain_dirty_limits() is invoked for a !global domain, the settings
are translated to ratios by scaling them against globally available
memory. dirty_throttle_control->gdtc is added to enable this when
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK.
global_dirty_limits() is now a thin wrapper around
domain_dirty_limits() and balance_dirty_pages() is updated to use the
new function too.

wb_position_ratio() is used to calculate pos_ratio, which is used for
two purposes. wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses it to adjust
wb->[balanced_]dirty_ratelimit gradually and balance_dirty_pages() to
immediately adjust dirty_ratelimit right before applying it to
determine pause duration.
While wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() is separately rate limited from
balance_dirty_pages(), on the run where the ratelimit is updated, we
end up calculating pos_ratio twice with the same parameters.
This patch adds dirty_throttle_control->pos_ratio.
balance_dirty_pages() calculates it once per run and
wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses the value stored in
dirty_throttle_control.
This removes the duplicate calculation and also will help implementing

wb_bg_thresh is currently treated as a second-class citizen. It's
only used when BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT is set and balance_dirty_pages()
doesn't calculate it unless the cap is set. When the cap is set, the
calculated value is not passed around but instead recalculated
whenever it's used.
wb_position_ratio() calculates it by scaling wb_thresh proportional to
bg_thresh / thresh. wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses wb_dirty_limit()
on bg_thresh, which should generally lead to a similar result as the
proportional scaling but can also be way off in the presence of
max/min_ratio settings.
Avoiding wb_bg_thresh calculation saves us one u64 multiplication and
divsion when BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT is not set. Given that
balance_dirty_pages() is already ratelimited, this doesn't justify the
incurred extra complexity.
This patch adds wb_bg_thresh to dirty_throttle_control and makes
wb_dirty_limits() always calculate it and updates the users to use the
pre-calculated value.

Dirty throttling implemented in balance_dirty_pages() and its
subroutines makes use of a number of parameters which are passed
around individually. This renders these functions somewhat unwieldy
and makes it difficult to add or change the involved parameters. Also
some functions use different or conflicting naming schemes for the
same parameters making the code confusing to follow.
This patch consolidates the main parameters into struct
dirty_throttle_control so that they can be passed around easily and
adding new paramters isn't painful. This also unifies how a given
parameter is named and accessed. The drawback of using this type of
control structure rather than explicit paramters is that it isn't
immediately obvious which function accesses and modifies what;
however, it's fairly clear that the benefits outweigh in this case.
GDTC_INIT() macro is provided to ease initializing
dirty_throttle_control for the global_wb_domain and
balance_dirty_pages() uses a separate pointer to point to its global
dirty_throttle_control. This is to make it uniform with memcg domain
handling which will be added later.

Dirtyable memory is distributed to a wb (bdi_writeback) according to
the relative bandwidth the wb is writing out in the whole system.
This distribution is global - each wb is measured against all other
wb's and gets the proportinately sized portion of the memory in the
whole system.
For cgroup writeback, the amount of dirtyable memory is scoped by
memcg and thus each wb would need to be measured and controlled in its
memcg. IOW, a wb will belong to two writeback domains - the global
and memcg domains.
Currently, what constitutes the global writeback domain are scattered
across a number of global states. This patch starts collecting them
into struct wb_domain.
* fprop_global which serves as the basis for proportional bandwidth
measurement and its period timer are moved into struct wb_domain.
* global_wb_domain hosts the states for the global domain.
* While at it, flatten wb_writeout_fraction() into its callers. This
thin wrapper doesn't provide any actual benefits while getting in
the way.

__wb_update_bandwidth() is called from two places -
fs/fs-writeback.c::balance_dirty_pages() and
mm/page-writeback.c::wb_writeback(). The latter updates only the
write bandwidth while the former also deals with the dirty ratelimit.
The two callsites are distinguished by whether @thresh parameter is
zero or not, which is cryptic. In addition, the two files define
their own different versions of wb_update_bandwidth() on top of
__wb_update_bandwidth(), which is confusing to say the least. This
patch cleans up [__]wb_update_bandwidth() in the following ways.
* __wb_update_bandwidth() now takes explicit @update_ratelimit
parameter to gate dirty ratelimit handling.
* mm/page-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is flattened into its
caller - balance_dirty_pages().
* fs/fs-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is moved to
mm/page-writeback.c and __wb_update_bandwidth() is made static.
* While at it, add a lockdep assertion to __wb_update_bandwidth().

cpu_possible_mask represents the CPUs which are actually possible
during that boot instance. For systems which don't support CPU
hotplug, this will match cpu_online_mask exactly in most cases. Even
for systems which support CPU hotplug, the number of possible CPU
slots is highly unlikely to diverge greatly from the number of online
CPUs. The only cases where the difference between possible and online
caused problems were when the boot code failed to initialize the
possible mask and left it fully set at NR_CPUS - 1.
As such, most per-cpu constructs allocate for all possible CPUs and
often iterate over the possibles, which also has the benefit of
avoiding the blocking CPU hotplug synchronization.
memcg open codes per-cpu stat counting for mem_cgroup_read_stat() and
mem_cgroup_read_events(), which iterates over online CPUs and handles
CPU hotplug operations explicitly. This complexity doesn't actually
buy anything. Switch to iterating over the possibles and drop the
explicit CPU hotplug handling.
Eventually, we want to convert memcg to use percpu_counter instead of
its own custom implementation which also benefits from quick access
w/o summing for cases where larger error margin is acceptable.
This will allow mem_cgroup_read_stat() to be called from non-sleepable
contexts which will be used by cgroup writeback.

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes. For cgroup writeback support, it
needs to take all active wb's into account. If any wb on the bdi has
dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true.
To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track
of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can
be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating
wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when
there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't
dip below 1. bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not.
While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it

difference.

Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback)
has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation
without actively keeping track. For cgroup writeback support, a
single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty
inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which
currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all
member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state
on each wb.
This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate
IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which
directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()). All three
functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep

the new WB_has_dirty_io flag. inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return

In several places, bdi_congested() and its wrappers are used to

support cgroup writeback and the blkcg the inode is associated with.
This patch implements inode_congested() and its wrappers which take
@inode and determines the congestion state considering cgroup
writeback. The new functions replace bdi_*congested() calls in places

There are several filesystem users which also fit this criteria but

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().
Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both
detected by the kbuild bot.

bdi_prune_sb(), bdi_remove_from_list() and bdi_unregister() so that
init / exit functions are grouped together. This will make updating
init / exit paths for cgroup writeback support easier.
This is pure source file reorganization.

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.
This patch moves bdi->wb_lock and ->worklist into wb.
* The lock protects bdi->worklist and bdi->wb.dwork scheduling. While
moving, rename it to wb->work_lock as wb->wb_lock is confusing.
Also, move wb->dwork downwards so that it's colocated with the new
->work_lock and ->work_list fields.
* bdi_writeback_workfn() -> wb_workfn()
bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi) -> wb_wakeup_delayed(wb)
bdi_wakeup_thread(bdi) -> wb_wakeup(wb)
bdi_queue_work(bdi, ...) -> wb_queue_work(wb, ...)
__bdi_start_writeback(bdi, ...) -> __wb_start_writeback(wb, ...)
get_next_work_item(bdi) -> get_next_work_item(wb)
* bdi_wb_shutdown() is renamed to wb_shutdown() and now takes @wb.
The function contained parts which belong to the containing bdi
rather than the wb itself - testing cap_writeback_dirty and
bdi_remove_from_list() invocation. Those are moved to
bdi_unregister().
* bdi_wb_{init|exit}() are renamed to wb_{init|exit}().
Initializations of the moved bdi->wb_lock and ->work_list are
relocated from bdi_init() to wb_init().
* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all

Implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page() which returns the
cgroup_subsys_state of the memcg associated with a given page on the
default hierarchy. This will be used by cgroup writeback support.
This function assumes that page->mem_cgroup association doesn't change
until the page is released, which is true on the default hierarchy as
long as replace_page_cache_page() is not used. As the only user of
replace_page_cache_page() is FUSE which won't support cgroup writeback
for the time being, this works for now, and replace_page_cache_page()
will soon be updated so that the invariant actually holds.
Note that the RCU protected page->mem_cgroup access is consistent with
other usages across memcg but ultimately incorrect. These unlocked
accesses are missing required barriers. page->mem_cgroup should be
made an RCU pointer and updated and accessed using RCU operations.
v4: Instead of triggering WARN, return the root css on the traditional
hierarchies. This makes the function a lot easier to deal with
especially as there's no light way to synchronize against
hierarchy rebinding.
v3: s/mem_cgroup_migrate()/mem_cgroup_css_from_page()/

When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where
global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the
per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at
this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break
down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
messages).
The ability to move page accounting between memcg
(memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
complicated than the global counter. The existing
mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
accounting with stat updates.
Typical update operation:
memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
[...]
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
}
mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
- Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
rcu_read_lock()
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's
rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
adjustments are needed:
- move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
__mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
- use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
__delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea25152e ("page_writeback:
clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with
account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing
the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback
support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and
stat updates. While we can open-code such synchronization in each
account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward
and verbose.
This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form.
All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned()
invocation if the page was dirty. This helper covers all
account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache()
which is a special case anyway and left alone. As this leaves no
module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped
from it.
This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to
replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional
changes.

bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality.
It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no
real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function,
and it triggers if
blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy()
is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since
Commit: 6cd18e711d ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.")
So this isn't wanted.
It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after
writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed.
Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global
resource.
Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy()
perfectly fits these requirements.
So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to
bdi_destroy(), as can the
writeback_bdi_unregister
event which is already not used.

Commit 662bbcb274 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access
code (that uses might_fault()).
The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the
following scenario:
pagefault_disable()
rc = copy_to_user(...)
pagefault_enable()
Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter
and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not
sleep and return an error code if a page is not available.
However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed,
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario:
spin_lock(&lock);
rc = copy_to_user(...)
spin_unlock(&lock)
If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable()
will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would
correctly never sleep on user access.
However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP
(with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to
detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler
could sleep.
We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access
functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks.
Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as
preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off.
As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish
whether user acces functions might sleep.
Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to
allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.

NUMA balancing is meant to be disabled by default on UMA machines but
the check is using nr_node_ids (highest node) instead of
num_online_nodes (online nodes).
The consequences are that a UMA machine with a node ID of 1 or higher
will enable NUMA balancing. This will incur useless overhead due to
minor faults with the impact depending on the workload. These are the
impact on the stats when running a kernel build on a single node machine

Not all kmem allocations should be accounted to memcg. The following
patch gives an example when accounting of a certain type of allocations to
memcg can effectively result in a memory leak. This patch adds the
__GFP_NOACCOUNT flag which if passed to kmalloc and friends will force the
allocation to go through the root cgroup. It will be used by the next
patch.
Note, since in case of kmemleak enabled each kmalloc implies yet another
allocation from the kmemleak_object cache, we add __GFP_NOACCOUNT to
gfp_kmemleak_mask.
Alternatively, we could introduce a per kmem cache flag disabling
accounting for all allocations of a particular kind, but (a) we would not
be able to bypass accounting for kmalloc then and (b) a kmem cache with
this flag set could not be merged with a kmem cache without this flag,
which would increase the number of global caches and therefore
fragmentation even if the memory cgroup controller is not used.
Despite its generic name, currently __GFP_NOACCOUNT disables accounting
only for kmem allocations while user page allocations are always charged.
To catch abusing of this flag, a warning is issued on an attempt of
passing it to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

Four minor merge conflicts:
1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device
from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call
got moved further up in the probe function.
2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params
structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the
initializer function.
3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is
completely removed in 'net-next'.
4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations
had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the
argument signature a bit.
This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen
Rothwell over the past two days.

This change moves the __alloc_page_frag functionality out of the networking
stack and into the page allocation portion of mm. The idea it so help make
this maintainable by placing it with other page allocation functions.
Since we are moving it from skbuff.c to page_alloc.c I have also renamed
the basic defines and structure from netdev_alloc_cache to page_frag_cache
to reflect that this is now part of a different kernel subsystem.
I have also added a simple __free_page_frag function which can handle
freeing the frags based on the skb->head pointer. The model for this is
based off of __free_pages since we don't actually need to deal with all of
the cases that put_page handles. I incorporated the virt_to_head_page call
and compound_order into the function as it actually allows for a signficant
size reduction by reducing code duplication.

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.
Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().
b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

Currently memory_failure() calls shake_page() to sweep pages out from
pcplists only when the victim page is 4kB LRU page or thp head page.
But we should do this for a thp tail page too.
Consider that a memory error hits a thp tail page whose head page is on
a pcplist when memory_failure() runs. Then, the current kernel skips
shake_pages() part, so hwpoison_user_mappings() returns without calling
split_huge_page() nor try_to_unmap() because PageLRU of the thp head is
still cleared due to the skip of shake_page().
As a result, me_huge_page() runs for the thp, which is broken behavior.
One effect is a leak of the thp. And another is to fail to isolate the
memory error, so later access to the error address causes another MCE,
which kills the processes which used the thp.
This patch fixes this problem by calling shake_page() for thp tail case.

mm/page-writeback.c has several places where 1 is added to the divisor
to prevent division by zero exceptions; however, if the original
divisor is equivalent to -1, adding 1 leads to division by zero.
There are three places where +1 is used for this purpose - one in
pos_ratio_polynom() and two in bdi_position_ratio(). The second one
in bdi_position_ratio() actually triggered div-by-zero oops on a
machine running a 3.10 kernel. The divisor is
x_intercept - bdi_setpoint + 1 == span + 1
span is confirmed to be (u32)-1. It isn't clear how it ended up that
but it could be from write bandwidth calculation underflow fixed by

There is no point in overriding the size class below. It causes fatal

For example, if the requested size was exactly 3264 bytes, current

We store handle on header of each allocated object so it increases the
size of each object by sizeof(unsigned long).
If zram stores 4096 bytes to zsmalloc(ie, bad compression), zsmalloc needs
4104B-class to add handle.
However, 4104B-class has 1-pages_per_zspage so wasted size by internal
fragment is 8192 - 4104, which is terrible.
So this patch records the handle in page->private on such huge object(ie,
pages_per_zspage == 1 && maxobj_per_zspage == 1) instead of header of each
object so we could use 4096B-class, not 4104B-class.

Curretly, zsmalloc regards a zspage as ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if the zspage has
under 1/4 used objects(ie, fullness_threshold_frac). It could make result
in loose packing since zsmalloc migrates only ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY zspage out.
This patch changes the rule so that zsmalloc makes zspage which has above

This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion
policy is simple as follows.
for each size class {
while {
src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!src_page)
break;
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL
if (!dst_page)
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!dst_page)
break;
migrate(from src_page, to dst_page);
}
}
For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated
to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a
zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list
but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie,
OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check
whether the object is allocated easily.
This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user
access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot
move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and
new object.

Recently, we started to use zram heavily and some of issues
popped.
1) external fragmentation
I got a report from Juneho Choi that fork failed although there are plenty
of free pages in the system. His investigation revealed zram is one of
the culprit to make heavy fragmentation so there was no more contiguous
16K page for pgd to fork in the ARM.
2) non-movable pages
Other problem of zram now is that inherently, user want to use zram as
swap in small memory system so they use zRAM with CMA to use memory
efficiently. However, unfortunately, it doesn't work well because zRAM
cannot use CMA's movable pages unless it doesn't support compaction. I
got several reports about that OOM happened with zram although there are
lots of swap space and free space in CMA area.
3) internal fragmentation
zRAM has started support memory limitation feature to limit memory usage
and I sent a patchset(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/21/148) for VM to be
harmonized with zram-swap to stop anonymous page reclaim if zram consumed
memory up to the limit although there are free space on the swap. One
problem for that direction is zram has no way to know any hole in memory
space zsmalloc allocated by internal fragmentation so zram would regard
swap is full although there are free space in zsmalloc. For solving the
issue, zram want to trigger compaction of zsmalloc before it decides full
or not.
This patchset is first step to support above issues. For that, it adds
indirect layer between handle and object location and supports manual
compaction to solve 3th problem first of all.
After this patchset got merged, next step is to make VM aware of zsmalloc
compaction so that generic compaction will move zsmalloced-pages
automatically in runtime.
In my imaginary experiment(ie, high compress ratio data with heavy swap
in/out on 8G zram-swap), data is as follows,
Before =
zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes
zram total used: 140103680 bytes
ratio: 42.98 percent
MemFree: 840192 kB
Compaction
After =
frag ratio after compaction
zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes
zram total used: 76185600 bytes
ratio: 79.03 percent
MemFree: 901932 kB
Juneho reported below in his real platform with small aging.
So, I think the benefit would be bigger in real aging system
for a long time.
- frag_ratio increased 3% (ie, higher is better)
- memfree increased about 6MB
- In buddy info, Normal 2^3: 4, 2^2: 1: 2^1 increased, Highmem: 2^1 21 increased
frag ratio after swap fragment
used : 156677 kbytes
total: 166092 kbytes
frag_ratio : 94
meminfo before compaction
MemFree: 83724 kB
Node 0, zone Normal 13642 1364 57 10 61 17 9 5 4 0 0
Node 0, zone HighMem 425 29 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
num_migrated : 23630
compaction done
frag ratio after compaction
used : 156673 kbytes
total: 160564 kbytes
frag_ratio : 97

MemFree: 89060 kB

Node 0, zone HighMem 863 50 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
This patchset adds more logics(about 480 lines) in zsmalloc but when I
tested heavy swapin/out program, the regression for swapin/out speed is
marginal because most of overheads were caused by compress/decompress and
other MM reclaim stuff.
This patch (of 7):
Currently, handle of zsmalloc encodes object's location directly so it
makes support of migration hard.
This patch decouples handle and object via adding indirect layer. For
that, it allocates handle dynamically and returns it to user. The handle
is the address allocated by slab allocation so it's unique and we could
keep object's location in the memory space allocated for handle.
With it, we can change object's position without changing handle itself.

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to

This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to

We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above
we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is

We are not safe from calling isolate_huge_page() on a hugepage
concurrently, which can make the victim hugepage in invalid state and
results in BUG_ON().
The root problem of this is that we don't have any information on struct
page (so easily accessible) about hugepages' activeness. Note that
hugepages' activeness means just being linked to
hstate->hugepage_activelist, which is not the same as normal pages'
activeness represented by PageActive flag.
Normal pages are isolated by isolate_lru_page() which prechecks PageLRU
before isolation, so let's do similarly for hugetlb with a new
paeg_huge_active().
set/clear_page_huge_active() should be called within hugetlb_lock. But
hugetlb_cow() and hugetlb_no_page() don't do this, being justified because
in these functions set_page_huge_active() is called right after the
hugepage is allocated and no other thread tries to isolate it.

Mempools keep elements in a reserved pool for contexts in which allocation
may not be possible. When an element is allocated from the reserved pool,
its memory contents is the same as when it was added to the reserved pool.
Because of this, elements lack any free poisoning to detect use-after-free
errors.
This patch adds free poisoning for elements backed by the slab allocator.
This is possible because the mempool layer knows the object size of each
element.
When an element is added to the reserved pool, it is poisoned with
POISON_FREE. When it is removed from the reserved pool, the contents are
checked for POISON_FREE. If there is a mismatch, a warning is emitted to
the kernel log.
This is only effective for configs with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB or
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON.

Recently I straced bash behavior in this dd zero pipe to read test, in
part of testing under vm.overcommit_memory=2 (OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode):
# dd if=/dev/zero | read x
The bash sub shell is calling mremap to reallocate more and more memory
untill it finally failed -ENOMEM (I expect), or to be killed by system OOM
killer (which should not happen under OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode); But the
mremap system call actually failed of -EFAULT, which is a surprise to me,
I think it's supposed to be -ENOMEM? then I wrote this piece of C code
testing confirmed it: https://gist.github.com/crquan/326bde37e1ddda8effe5
$ ./remap
allocated one page @0x7f686bf71000, (PAGE_SIZE: 4096)
grabbed 7680512000 bytes of memory (1875125 pages) @ 00007f6690993000.
mremap failed Bad address (14).
The -EFAULT comes from the branch of security_vm_enough_memory_mm failure,
underlyingly it calls __vm_enough_memory which returns only 0 for success
or -ENOMEM; So why vma_to_resize needs to return -EFAULT in this case?
this sounds like a mistake to me.
Some more digging into git history:
1) Before commit 119f657c7 ("RLIMIT_AS checking fix") in May 1 2005
(pre 2.6.12 days) it was returning -ENOMEM for this failure;
2) but commit 119f657c7 ("untangling do_mremap(), part 1") changed it
accidentally, to what ever is preserved in local ret, which happened to
be -EFAULT, in a previous assignment;
3) then in commit 54f5de709 code refactoring, it's explicitly returning
-EFAULT, should be wrong.

In original implementation of vm_map_ram made by Nick Piggin there were
two bitmaps: alloc_map and dirty_map. None of them were used as supposed
to be: finding a suitable free hole for next allocation in block.
vm_map_ram allocates space sequentially in block and on free call marks
pages as dirty, so freed space can't be reused anymore.
Actually it would be very interesting to know the real meaning of those
bitmaps, maybe implementation was incomplete, etc.
But long time ago Zhang Yanfei removed alloc_map by these two commits:
mm/vmalloc.c: remove dead code in vb_alloc
3fcd76e802
mm/vmalloc.c: remove alloc_map from vmap_block
b8e748b6c3
In this patch I replaced dirty_map with two range variables: dirty min and
max. These variables store minimum and maximum position of dirty space in
a block, since we need only to know the dirty range, not exact position of
dirty pages.
Why it was made? Several reasons: at first glance it seems that
vm_map_ram allocator concerns about fragmentation thus it uses bitmaps for
finding free hole, but it is not true. To avoid complexity seems it is
better to use something simple, like min or max range values. Secondly,
code also becomes simpler, without iteration over bitmap, just comparing
values in min and max macros. Thirdly, bitmap occupies up to 1024 bits
(4MB is a max size of a block). Here I replaced the whole bitmap with two
longs.
Finally vm_unmap_aliases should be slightly faster and the whole
vmap_block structure occupies less memory.

Previous implementation allocates new vmap block and repeats search of a
free block from the very beginning, iterating over the CPU free list.
Why it can be better??
1. Allocation can happen on one CPU, but search can be done on another CPU.
In worst case we preallocate amount of vmap blocks which is equal to
CPU number on the system.
2. In previous patch I added newly allocated block to the tail of free list
to avoid soon exhaustion of virtual space and give a chance to occupy
blocks which were allocated long time ago. Thus to find newly allocated
block all the search sequence should be repeated, seems it is not efficient.
In this patch newly allocated block is occupied right away, address of
virtual space is returned to the caller, so there is no any need to repeat
the search sequence, allocation job is done.

Recently I came across high fragmentation of vm_map_ram allocator:
vmap_block has free space, but still new blocks continue to appear.
Further investigation showed that certain mapping/unmapping sequences
can exhaust vmalloc space. On small 32bit systems that's not a big
problem, cause purging will be called soon on a first allocation failure
(alloc_vmap_area), but on 64bit machines, e.g. x86_64 has 45 bits of
vmalloc space, that can be a disaster.
1) I came up with a simple allocation sequence, which exhausts virtual
space very quickly:
while (iters) {
/* Map/unmap big chunk */
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16);
/* Map/unmap small chunks.
*
* -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block
* to keep it partially used, with some free space available */
for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8);
}
}
The idea behind is simple:
1. We have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages.
2. Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller chunks, i.e.
8 pages. At the end small hole should remain to keep block in free list,
but do not let big chunk to occupy remaining space.
3. Goto 1 - allocation request of 16 pages can't be completed (only 8 slots
are left free in the block in the #2 step), new block will be allocated,
all further requests will lay into newly allocated block.
To have some measurement numbers for all further tests I setup ftrace and
enabled 4 basic calls in a function profile:
echo vm_map_ram > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo alloc_vmap_area >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo vm_unmap_ram >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo free_vmap_block >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
So for this scenario I got these results:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 126000 30683.30 us 0.243 us 30819.36 us
vm_unmap_ram 126000 22003.24 us 0.174 us 340.886 us
alloc_vmap_area 1000 4132.065 us 4.132 us 0.903 us
AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0

-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 126000 28713.13 us 0.227 us 24944.70 us
vm_unmap_ram 126000 20403.96 us 0.161 us 1429.872 us
alloc_vmap_area 993 3916.795 us 3.944 us 29.370 us
free_vmap_block 992 654.157 us 0.659 us 1.273 us
SUMMARY:
The most interesting numbers in those tables are numbers of block
allocations and deallocations: alloc_vmap_area and free_vmap_block
calls, which show that before the change blocks were not freed, and
virtual space and physical memory (vmap_block structure allocations,
etc) were consumed.
Average time which were spent in vm_map_ram/vm_unmap_ram became slightly
better. That can be explained with a reasonable amount of blocks in a
free list, which we need to iterate to find a suitable free block.
2) Another scenario is a random allocation:
while (iters) {
/* Randomly take number from a range [1..32/64] */
nr = rand(1, VMAP_MAX_ALLOC);
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, nr, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, nr);
}
I chose mersenne twister PRNG to generate persistent random state to
guarantee that both runs have the same random sequence. For each
vm_map_ram call random number from [1..32/64] was taken to represent
amount of pages which I do map.
I did 10'000 vm_map_ram calls and got these two tables:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 10000 10170.01 us 1.017 us 993.609 us
vm_unmap_ram 10000 5321.823 us 0.532 us 59.789 us
alloc_vmap_area 420 2150.239 us 5.119 us 3.307 us
free_vmap_block 37 159.587 us 4.313 us 134.344 us
AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 10000 7745.637 us 0.774 us 395.229 us
vm_unmap_ram 10000 5460.573 us 0.546 us 67.187 us
alloc_vmap_area 414 2201.650 us 5.317 us 5.591 us
free_vmap_block 412 574.421 us 1.394 us 15.138 us
SUMMARY:
'BEFORE' table shows, that 420 blocks were allocated and only 37 were
freed. Remained 383 blocks are still in a free list, consuming virtual
space and physical memory.
'AFTER' table shows, that 414 blocks were allocated and 412 were really
freed. 2 blocks remained in a free list.
So fragmentation was dramatically reduced. Why? Because when we put
newly allocated block to the head, all further requests will occupy new
block, regardless remained space in other blocks. In this scenario all
requests come randomly. Eventually remained free space will be less
than requested size, free list will be iterated and it is possible that
nothing will be found there - finally new block will be created. So
exhaustion in random scenario happens for the maximum possible
allocation size: 32 pages for 32-bit system and 64 pages for 64-bit
system.
Also average cost of vm_map_ram was reduced from 1.017 us to 0.774 us.
Again this can be explained by iteration through smaller list of free
blocks.
3) Next simple scenario is a sequential allocation, when the allocation
order is increased for each block. This scenario forces allocator to
reach maximum amount of partially free blocks in a free list:
while (iters) {
/* Populate free list with blocks with remaining space */
for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
nr = VMAP_BBMAP_BITS / (1 << order);
/* Leave a hole */
nr -= 1;
for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
}
/* Completely occupy blocks from a free list */
for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
}
}
Results which I got:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)

SUMMARY:
No surprises here, almost all numbers are the same.
Fixing this fragmentation problem I also did some improvements in a
allocation logic of a new vmap block: occupy block immediately and get
rid of extra search in a free list.
Also I replaced dirty bitmap with min/max dirty range values to make the
logic simpler and slightly faster, since two longs comparison costs
less, than loop thru bitmap.
This patchset raises several questions:
Q: Think the problem you comments is already known so that I wrote comments
about it as "it could consume lots of address space through fragmentation".
Could you tell me about your situation and reason why it should be avoided?
Gioh Kim
A: Indeed, there was a commit 364376383 which adds explicit comment about
fragmentation. But fragmentation which is described in this comment caused
by mixing of long-lived and short-lived objects, when a whole block is pinned
in memory because some page slots are still in use. But here I am talking
about blocks which are free, nobody uses them, and allocator keeps them alive
forever, continuously allocating new blocks.
Q: I think that if you put newly allocated block to the tail of a free
list, below example would results in enormous performance degradation.
new block: 1MB (256 pages)
while (iters--) {
vm_map_ram(3 or something else not dividable for 256) * 85
vm_unmap_ram(3) * 85
}
On every iteration, it needs newly allocated block and it is put to the
tail of a free list so finding it consumes large amount of time.
Joonsoo Kim
A: Second patch in current patchset gets rid of extra search in a free list,
so new block will be immediately occupied..
Also, the scenario above is impossible, cause vm_map_ram allocates virtual
range in orders, i.e. 2^n. I.e. passing 3 to vm_map_ram you will allocate
4 slots in a block and 256 slots (capacity of a block) of course dividable
on 4, so block will be completely occupied.
But there is a worst case which we can achieve: each free block has a hole
equal to order size.
The maximum size of allocation is 64 pages for 64-bit system
(if you try to map more, original alloc_vmap_area will be called).
So the maximum order is 6. That means that worst case, before allocator
makes a decision to allocate a new block, is to iterate 7 blocks:
HEAD
1st block - has 1 page slot free (order 0)
2nd block - has 2 page slots free (order 1)
3rd block - has 4 page slots free (order 2)
4th block - has 8 page slots free (order 3)
5th block - has 16 page slots free (order 4)
6th block - has 32 page slots free (order 5)
7th block - has 64 page slots free (order 6)
TAIL
So the worst scenario on 64-bit system is that each CPU queue can have 7
blocks in a free list.
This can happen only and only if you allocate blocks increasing the order.
(as I did in the function written in the comment of the first patch)
This is weird and rare case, but still it is possible. Afterwards you will
get 7 blocks in a list.
All further requests should be placed in a newly allocated block or some
free slots should be found in a free list.
Seems it does not look dramatically awful.
This patch (of 3):
If suitable block can't be found, new block is allocated and put into a
head of a free list, so on next iteration this new block will be found
first.
That's bad, because old blocks in a free list will not get a chance to be
fully used, thus fragmentation will grow.
Let's consider this simple example:
#1 We have one block in a free list which is partially used, and where only
one page is free:
HEAD |xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
^
free space for 1 page, order 0
#2 New allocation request of order 1 (2 pages) comes, new block is allocated
since we do not have free space to complete this request. New block is put
into a head of a free list:
HEAD |----------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
#3 Two pages were occupied in a new found block:
HEAD |xx--------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
^
two pages mapped here
#4 New allocation request of order 0 (1 page) comes. Block, which was created
on #2 step, is located at the beginning of a free list, so it will be found
first:
HEAD |xxX-------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
^ ^
page mapped here, but better to use this hole
It is obvious, that it is better to complete request of #4 step using the
old block, where free space is left, because in other case fragmentation
will be highly increased.
But fragmentation is not only the case. The worst thing is that I can
easily create scenario, when the whole vmalloc space is exhausted by
blocks, which are not used, but already dirty and have several free pages.
Let's consider this function which execution should be pinned to one CPU:
static void exhaust_virtual_space(struct page *pages[16], int iters)
{
/* Firstly we have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages.
* Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller
* chunks, i.e. 8 pages. At the end small hole should remain.
* So at the end of our allocation sequence block looks like
* this:
* XX big chunk
* |XXxxxxxxx-| x small chunk
* - hole, which is enough for a small chunk,
* but is not enough for a big chunk
*/
while (iters--) {
int i;
void *vaddr;
/* Map/unmap big chunk */
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16);
/* Map/unmap small chunks.
*
* -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block
* to keep it partially used, with some free space available */
for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8);
}
}
}
On every iteration new block (1MB of vm area in my case) will be
allocated and then will be occupied, without attempt to resolve small
allocation request using previously allocated blocks in a free list.
In case of random allocation (size should be randomly taken from the
range [1..64] in 64-bit case or [1..32] in 32-bit case) situation is the
same: new blocks continue to appear if maximum possible allocation size
(32 or 64) passed to the allocator, because all remaining blocks in a
free list do not have enough free space to complete this allocation
request.
In summary if new blocks are put into the head of a free list eventually
virtual space will be exhausted.
In current patch I simply put newly allocated block to the tail of a
free list, thus reduce fragmentation, giving a chance to resolve
allocation request using older blocks with possible holes left.

Make 'min_size=<value>' be an option when mounting a hugetlbfs. This
option takes the same value as the 'size' option. min_size can be
specified without specifying size. If both are specified, min_size must
be less that or equal to size else the mount will fail. If min_size is
specified, then at mount time an attempt is made to reserve min_size
pages. If the reservation fails, the mount fails. At umount time, the
reserved pages are released.

The same routines that perform subpool maximum size accounting
hugepage_subpool_get/put_pages() are modified to also perform minimum size
accounting. When a delta value is passed to these routines, calculate how
global reservations must be adjusted to maintain the subpool minimum size.
The routines now return this global reserve count adjustment. This
global reserve count adjustment is then passed to the global accounting
routine hugetlb_acct_memory().

hugetlbfs allocates huge pages from the global pool as needed. Even if
the global pool contains a sufficient number pages for the filesystem size
at mount time, those global pages could be grabbed for some other use. As
a result, filesystem huge page allocations may fail due to lack of pages.
Applications such as a database want to use huge pages for performance
reasons. hugetlbfs filesystem semantics with ownership and modes work
well to manage access to a pool of huge pages. However, the application
would like some reasonable assurance that allocations will not fail due to
a lack of huge pages. At application startup time, the application would
like to configure itself to use a specific number of huge pages. Before
starting, the application can check to make sure that enough huge pages
exist in the system global pools. However, there are no guarantees that
those pages will be available when needed by the application. What the
application wants is exclusive use of a subset of huge pages.
Add a new hugetlbfs mount option 'min_size=<value>' to indicate that the
specified number of pages will be available for use by the filesystem. At
mount time, this number of huge pages will be reserved for exclusive use
of the filesystem. If there is not a sufficient number of free pages, the
mount will fail. As pages are allocated to and freeed from the
filesystem, the number of reserved pages is adjusted so that the specified
minimum is maintained.
This patch (of 4):
Add a field to the subpool structure to indicate the minimimum number of
huge pages to always be used by this subpool. This minimum count includes
allocated pages as well as reserved pages. If the minimum number of pages
for the subpool have not been allocated, pages are reserved up to this
minimum. An additional field (rsv_hpages) is used to track the number of
pages reserved to meet this minimum size. The hstate pointer in the
subpool is convenient to have when reserving and unreserving the pages.

When the compaction is activated via /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory it would
better scan the whole zone. And some platforms, for instance ARM, have
the start_pfn of a zone at zero. Therefore the first try to compact via
/proc doesn't work. It needs to reset the compaction scanner position
first.

memcg currently uses hardcoded GFP_TRANSHUGE gfp flags for all THP
charges. THP allocations, however, might be using different flags
depending on /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/{,khugepaged/}defrag and
the current allocation context.
The primary difference is that defrag configured to "madvise" value will
clear __GFP_WAIT flag from the core gfp mask to make the allocation
lighter for all mappings which are not backed by VM_HUGEPAGE vmas. If
memcg charge path ignores this fact we will get light allocation but the a
potential memcg reclaim would kill the whole point of the configuration.
Fix the mismatch by providing the same gfp mask used for the allocation to
the charge functions. This is quite easy for all paths except for
hugepaged kernel thread with !CONFIG_NUMA which is doing a pre-allocation
long before the allocated page is used in collapse_huge_page via
khugepaged_alloc_page. To prevent from cluttering the whole code path
from khugepaged_do_scan we simply return the current flags as per
khugepaged_defrag() value which might have changed since the
preallocation. If somebody changed the value of the knob we would charge
differently but this shouldn't happen often and it is definitely not
critical because it would only lead to a reduced success rate of one-off
THP promotion.
