mm, hotplug: move init_currently_empty_zone() under zone_span_lock protection
During online_pages phase, pgdat->nr_zones will be updated in case this zone is empty. Currently the online_pages phase is protected by the global locks (device_device_hotplug_lock and mem_hotplug_lock), which ensures there is no contention during the update of nr_zones. These global locks introduces scalability issues (especially the second one), which slow down code relying on get_online_mems(). This is also a preparation for not having to rely on get_online_mems() but instead some more fine grained locks. The patch moves init_currently_empty_zone under both zone_span_writelock and pgdat_resize_lock because both the pgdat state is changed (nr_zones) and the zone's start_pfn. Also this patch changes the documentation of node_size_lock to include the protection of nr_zones.

mm, sparse: drop pgdat_resize_lock in sparse_add/remove_one_section()
pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect pgdat's memory region information like: node_start_pfn, node_present_pages, etc. While in function sparse_add/remove_one_section(), pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect initialization/release of one mem_section. This looks not proper. These code paths are currently protected by mem_hotplug_lock currently but should there ever be any reason for locking at the sparse layer a dedicated lock should be introduced. Following is the current call trace of sparse_add/remove_one_section() mem_hotplug_begin() arch_add_memory() add_pages() __add_pages() __add_section() sparse_add_one_section() mem_hotplug_done() mem_hotplug_begin() arch_remove_memory() __remove_pages() __remove_section() sparse_remove_one_section() mem_hotplug_done() The comment above the pgdat_resize_lock also mentions "Holding this will also guarantee that any pfn_valid() stays that way.", which is true with the current implementation and false after this patch. But current implementation doesn't meet this comment. There isn't any pfn walkers to take the lock so this looks like a relict from the past. This patch also removes this comment.

mm: check nr_initialised with PAGES_PER_SECTION directly in defer_init()
When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is configured, only the first section of each node's highest zone is initialized before defer stage. static_init_pgcnt is used to store the number of pages like this: pgdat->static_init_pgcnt = min_t(unsigned long, PAGES_PER_SECTION, pgdat->node_spanned_pages); because we don't want to overflow zone's range. But this is not necessary, since defer_init() is called like this: memmap_init_zone() for pfn in [start_pfn, end_pfn) defer_init(pfn, end_pfn) In case (pgdat->node_spanned_pages < PAGES_PER_SECTION), the loop would stop before calling defer_init(). BTW, comparing PAGES_PER_SECTION with node_spanned_pages is not correct, since nr_initialised is zone based instead of node based. Even node_spanned_pages is bigger than PAGES_PER_SECTION, its highest zone would have pages less than PAGES_PER_SECTION.

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

mm: convert zone->managed_pages to atomic variable
totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it. Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a store tear. This patch converts zone->managed_pages. Subsequent patches will convert totalram_panges, totalhigh_pages and eventually managed_page_count_lock will be removed. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

powerpc: use mm zones more sensibly
Powerpc has somewhat odd usage where ZONE_DMA is used for all memory on common 64-bit configfs, and ZONE_DMA32 is used for 31-bit schemes. Move to a scheme closer to what other architectures use (and I dare to say the intent of the system): - ZONE_DMA: optionally for memory < 31-bit (64-bit embedded only) - ZONE_NORMAL: everything addressable by the kernel - ZONE_HIGHMEM: memory > 32-bit for 32-bit kernels Also provide information on how ZONE_DMA is used by defining ARCH_ZONE_DMA_BITS.

mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset. During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however, and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing. Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing. How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit? 20 bits are always page flags 21 if you have an MMU 23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable 29 with the sparsemem section bits 30 if PAE is enabled 31 with this patch. So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6 or 7 sparsemem section bits.

mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration
Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes. Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer be required. Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting. Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him. Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting. However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism and it is safe to remove.

mm: remove zone_id() and make use of zone_idx() in is_dev_zone()
is_dev_zone() is using zone_id() to check if the zone is ZONE_DEVICE. zone_id() looks pretty much the same as zone_idx(), and while the use of zone_idx() is quite spread in the kernel, zone_id() is only being used by is_dev_zone(). This patch removes zone_id() and makes is_dev_zone() use zone_idx() to check the zone, so we do not have two things with the same functionality around.

mm/page_alloc: don't reserve ZONE_HIGHMEM for ZONE_MOVABLE request
Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that important to reserve. When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page allocation. So, fix it by setting 0 to sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM]. And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size makes code complex. For example, if there is highmem system, following reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily misleading people. #ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM 32 #endif This patch also fixes this situation by defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to right place.

mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES
Patch series "indirectly reclaimable memory", v2. This patchset introduces the concept of indirectly reclaimable memory and applies it to fix the issue of when a big number of dentries with external names can significantly affect the MemAvailable value. This patch (of 3): Introduce a concept of indirectly reclaimable memory and adds the corresponding memory counter and /proc/vmstat item. Indirectly reclaimable memory is any sort of memory, used by the kernel (except of reclaimable slabs), which is actually reclaimable, i.e. will be released under memory pressure. The counter is in bytes, as it's not always possible to count such objects in pages. The name contains BYTES by analogy to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB.

mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memory
Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed. This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high- order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up. When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

mm: disable interrupts while initializing deferred pages
Vlastimil Babka reported about a window issue during which when deferred pages are initialized, and the current version of on-demand initialization is finished, allocations may fail. While this is highly unlikely scenario, since this kind of allocation request must be large, and must come from interrupt handler, we still want to cover it. We solve this by initializing deferred pages with interrupts disabled, and holding node_size_lock spin lock while pages in the node are being initialized. The on-demand deferred page initialization that comes later will use the same lock, and thus synchronize with deferred_init_memmap(). It is unlikely for threads that initialize deferred pages to be interrupted. They run soon after smp_init(), but before modules are initialized, and long before user space programs. This is why there is no adverse effect of having these threads running with interrupts disabled.

include/linux/mmzone.h: fix explanation of lower bits in the SPARSEMEM mem_map pointer
The comment is confusing. On the one hand, it refers to 32-bit alignment (struct page alignment on 32-bit platforms), but this would only guarantee that the 2 lowest bits must be zero. On the other hand, it claims that at least 3 bits are available, and 3 bits are actually used. This is not broken, because there is a stronger alignment guarantee, just less obvious. Let's fix the comment to make it clear how many bits are available and why. Although memmap arrays are allocated in various places, the resulting pointer is encoded eventually, so I am adding a BUG_ON() here to enforce at runtime that all expected bits are indeed available. I have also added a BUILD_BUG_ON to check that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is sufficient, because this part of the calculation can be easily checked at build time.

mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculation
In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not
be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also
pages for reserved memory in this node.
The reserved memory is determined in this function:
memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical
addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit()
assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page
count.
The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected
due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the
worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mm/memory_hotplug: change pfn_to_section_nr/section_nr_to_pfn macro to inline function
pfn_to_section_nr() and section_nr_to_pfn() are defined as macro.
pfn_to_section_nr() has no issue even if it is defined as macro. But
section_nr_to_pfn() has overflow issue if sec is defined as int.
section_nr_to_pfn() just shifts sec by PFN_SECTION_SHIFT. If sec is
defined as unsigned long, section_nr_to_pfn() returns pfn as 64 bit value.
But if sec is defined as int, section_nr_to_pfn() returns pfn as 32 bit
value.
__remove_section() calculates start_pfn using section_nr_to_pfn() and
scn_nr defined as int. So if hot-removed memory address is over 16TB,
overflow issue occurs and section_nr_to_pfn() does not calculate correct
pfn.
To make callers use proper arg, the patch changes the macros to inline
functions.

mm: update NUMA counter threshold size
There is significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded page allocation (suggested by Dave Hansen). This patch updates NUMA counter threshold to a fixed size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter(suggested by Ying Huang).

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

mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE
Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1. This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration. Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days. I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but it made patch 6 easier to implement. Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_ is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing anything. Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking my thinking. This patch (of 9): Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones. This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem pressure doesn't need to reclaim. Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or the sysctl.

mm: disallow early_pfn_to_nid on configurations which do not implement it
early_pfn_to_nid will return node 0 if both HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID and HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP are disabled. It seems we are safe now because all architectures which support NUMA define one of them (with an exception of alpha which however has CONFIG_NUMA marked as broken) so this works as expected. It can get silently and subtly broken too easily, though. Make sure we fail the compilation if NUMA is enabled and there is no proper implementation for this function. If that ever happens we know that either the specific configuration is invalid and the fix should either disable NUMA or enable one of the above configs.

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

mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online
The current memory hotplug implementation relies on having all the struct pages associate with a zone/node during the physical hotplug phase (arch_add_memory->__add_pages->__add_section->__add_zone). In the vast majority of cases this means that they are added to ZONE_NORMAL. This has been so since |

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

mm: remove return value from init_currently_empty_zone
Patch series "mm: make movable onlining suck less", v4. Movable onlining is a real hack with many downsides - mainly reintroduction of lowmem/highmem issues we used to have on 32b systems - but it is the only way to make the memory hotremove more reliable which is something that people are asking for. The current semantic of memory movable onlinening is really cumbersome, however. The main reason for this is that the udev driven approach is basically unusable because udev races with the memory probing while only the last memory block or the one adjacent to the existing zone_movable are allowed to be onlined movable. In short the criterion for the successful online_movable changes under udev's feet. A reliable udev approach would require a 2 phase approach where the first successful movable online would have to check all the previous blocks and online them in descending order. This is hard to be considered sane. This patchset aims at making the onlining semantic more usable. First of all it allows to online memory movable as long as it doesn't clash with the existing ZONE_NORMAL. That means that ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap. Currently I preserve the original ordering semantic so the zone always precedes the movable zone but I have plans to remove this restriction in future because it is not really necessary. First 3 patches are cleanups which should be ready to be merged right away (unless I have missed something subtle of course). Patch 4 deals with ZONE_DEVICE dependencies down the __add_pages path. Patch 5 deals with implicit assumptions of register_one_node on pgdat initialization. Patches 6-10 deal with offline holes in the zone for pfn walkers. I hope I got all of them right but people familiar with compaction should double check this. Patch 11 is the core of the change. In order to make it easier to review I have tried it to be as minimalistic as possible and the large code removal is moved to patch 14. Patch 12 is a trivial follow up cleanup. Patch 13 fixes sparse warnings and finally patch 14 removes the unused code. I have tested the patches in kvm: # qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -monitor pty -m 2G,slots=4,maxmem=4G -numa node,mem=1G -numa node,mem=1G ... and then probed the additional memory by (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 Then I have used this simple script to probe the memory block by hand # cat probe_memblock.sh #!/bin/sh BLOCK_NR=$1 # echo $((0x100000000+$BLOCK_NR*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe # for i in $(seq 10); do sh probe_memblock.sh $i; done # grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones 2>/dev/null /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory38/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory39/valid_zones:Normal Movable The main difference to the original implementation is that all new memblocks can be both online_kernel and online_movable initially because there is no clash obviously.

mm, sparsemem: break out of loops early
There are a number of times that we loop over NR_MEM_SECTIONS, looking for section_present() on each section. But, when we have very large physical address spaces (large MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS), NR_MEM_SECTIONS becomes very large, making the loops quite long. With MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=46 and a section size of 128MB, the current loops are 512k iterations, which we barely notice on modern hardware. But, raising MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS higher (like we will see on systems that support 5-level paging) makes this 64x longer and we start to notice, especially on slower systems like simulators. A 10-second delay for 512k iterations is annoying. But, a 640- second delay is crippling. This does not help if we have extremely sparse physical address spaces, but those are quite rare. We expect that most of the "slow" systems where this matters will also be quite small and non-sparse. To fix this, we track the highest section we've ever encountered. This lets us know when we will *never* see another section_present(), and lets us break out of the loops earlier. Doing the whole for_each_present_section_nr() macro is probably overkill, but it will ensure that any future loop iterations that we grow are more likely to be correct. Kirrill said "It shaved almost 40 seconds from boot time in qemu with 5-level paging enabled for me".

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

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

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

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

mm: vmscan: scan dirty pages even in laptop mode
Patch series "mm: vmscan: fix kswapd writeback regression". We noticed a regression on multiple hadoop workloads when moving from 3.10 to 4.0 and 4.6, which involves kswapd getting tangled up in page writeout, causing direct reclaim herds that also don't make progress. I tracked it down to the thrash avoidance efforts after 3.10 that make the kernel better at keeping use-once cache and use-many cache sorted on the inactive and active list, with more aggressive protection of the active list as long as there is inactive cache. Unfortunately, our workload's use-once cache is mostly from streaming writes. Waiting for writes to avoid potential reloads in the future is not a good tradeoff. These patches do the following: 1. Wake the flushers when kswapd sees a lump of dirty pages. It's possible to be below the dirty background limit and still have cache velocity push them through the LRU. So start a-flushin'. 2. Let kswapd only write pages that have been rotated twice. This makes sure we really tried to get all the clean pages on the inactive list before resorting to horrible LRU-order writeback. 3. Move rotating dirty pages off the inactive list. Instead of churning or waiting on page writeback, we'll go after clean active cache. This might lead to thrashing, but in this state memory demand outstrips IO speed anyway, and reads are faster than writes. Mel backported the series to 4.10-rc5 with one minor conflict and ran a couple of tests on it. Mix of read/write random workload didn't show anything interesting. Write-only database didn't show much difference in performance but there were slight reductions in IO -- probably in the noise. simoop did show big differences although not as big as Mel expected. This is Chris Mason's workload that similate the VM activity of hadoop. Mel won't go through the full details but over the samples measured during an hour it reported 4.10.0-rc5 4.10.0-rc5 vanilla johannes-v1r1 Amean p50-Read 21346531.56 ( 0.00%) 21697513.24 ( -1.64%) Amean p95-Read 24700518.40 ( 0.00%) 25743268.98 ( -4.22%) Amean p99-Read 27959842.13 ( 0.00%) 28963271.11 ( -3.59%) Amean p50-Write 1138.04 ( 0.00%) 989.82 ( 13.02%) Amean p95-Write 1106643.48 ( 0.00%) 12104.00 ( 98.91%) Amean p99-Write 1569213.22 ( 0.00%) 36343.38 ( 97.68%) Amean p50-Allocation 85159.82 ( 0.00%) 79120.70 ( 7.09%) Amean p95-Allocation 204222.58 ( 0.00%) 129018.43 ( 36.82%) Amean p99-Allocation 278070.04 ( 0.00%) 183354.43 ( 34.06%) Amean final-p50-Read 21266432.00 ( 0.00%) 21921792.00 ( -3.08%) Amean final-p95-Read 24870912.00 ( 0.00%) 26116096.00 ( -5.01%) Amean final-p99-Read 28147712.00 ( 0.00%) 29523968.00 ( -4.89%) Amean final-p50-Write 1130.00 ( 0.00%) 977.00 ( 13.54%) Amean final-p95-Write 1033216.00 ( 0.00%) 2980.00 ( 99.71%) Amean final-p99-Write 1517568.00 ( 0.00%) 32672.00 ( 97.85%) Amean final-p50-Allocation 86656.00 ( 0.00%) 78464.00 ( 9.45%) Amean final-p95-Allocation 211712.00 ( 0.00%) 116608.00 ( 44.92%) Amean final-p99-Allocation 287232.00 ( 0.00%) 168704.00 ( 41.27%) The latencies are actually completely horrific in comparison to 4.4 (and 4.10-rc5 is worse than 4.9 according to historical data for reasons Mel hasn't analysed yet). Still, 95% of write latency (p95-write) is halved by the series and allocation latency is way down. Direct reclaim activity is one fifth of what it was according to vmstats. Kswapd activity is higher but this is not necessarily surprising. Kswapd efficiency is unchanged at 99% (99% of pages scanned were reclaimed) but direct reclaim efficiency went from 77% to 99% In the vanilla kernel, 627MB of data was written back from reclaim context. With the series, no data was written back. With or without the patch, pages are being immediately reclaimed after writeback completes. However, with the patch, only 1/8th of the pages are reclaimed like this. This patch (of 5): We have an elaborate dirty/writeback throttling mechanism inside the reclaim scanner, but for that to work the pages have to go through shrink_page_list() and get counted for what they are. Otherwise, we mess up the LRU order and don't match reclaim speed to writeback. Especially during deactivation, there is never a reason to skip dirty pages; nothing is even trying to write them out from there. Don't mess up the LRU order for nothing, shuffle these pages along.

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

mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues
The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacks
Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone. This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone, and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption. Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all architectures. Keep it simple and use KiB.

This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference that inactive/active stats are still available. This preserves the history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries
The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be
accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry
logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on
per-zone stats.
Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in
__alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit

mm, page_alloc: remove fair zone allocation policy
The fair zone allocation policy interleaves allocation requests between zones to avoid an age inversion problem whereby new pages are reclaimed to balance a zone. Reclaim is now node-based so this should no longer be an issue and the fair zone allocation policy is not free. This patch removes it.

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

mm: move vmscan writes and file write accounting to the node
As reclaim is now node-based, it follows that page write activity due to page reclaim should also be accounted for on the node. For consistency, also account page writes and page dirtying on a per-node basis. After this patch, there are a few remaining zone counters that may appear strange but are fine. NUMA stats are still per-zone as this is a user-space interface that tools consume. NR_MLOCK, NR_SLAB_*, NR_PAGETABLE, NR_KERNEL_STACK and NR_BOUNCE are all allocations that potentially pin low memory and cannot trivially be reclaimed on demand. This information is still useful for debugging a page allocation failure warning.

mm: move most file-based accounting to the node
There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator
The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations will not be restricted. Despite this, there is always functional call overhead which builds up. This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator function for the complex case. A hindrance was the fact that cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems. The patch handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset exists. As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some junk in the slowpath. The performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is; 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 statinline-v1r20 optiter-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 412.00 ( 0.00%) 382.00 ( 7.28%) Min alloc-odr0-2 301.00 ( 0.00%) 282.00 ( 6.31%) Min alloc-odr0-4 247.00 ( 0.00%) 233.00 ( 5.67%) Min alloc-odr0-8 215.00 ( 0.00%) 203.00 ( 5.58%) Min alloc-odr0-16 199.00 ( 0.00%) 188.00 ( 5.53%) Min alloc-odr0-32 191.00 ( 0.00%) 182.00 ( 4.71%) Min alloc-odr0-64 187.00 ( 0.00%) 177.00 ( 5.35%) Min alloc-odr0-128 185.00 ( 0.00%) 175.00 ( 5.41%) Min alloc-odr0-256 193.00 ( 0.00%) 184.00 ( 4.66%) Min alloc-odr0-512 207.00 ( 0.00%) 197.00 ( 4.83%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 213.00 ( 0.00%) 203.00 ( 4.69%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 220.00 ( 0.00%) 209.00 ( 5.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 226.00 ( 0.00%) 214.00 ( 5.31%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 229.00 ( 0.00%) 218.00 ( 4.80%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 229.00 ( 0.00%) 219.00 ( 4.37%) perf indicated that next_zones_zonelist disappeared in the profile and __next_zones_zonelist did not appear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

mm, page_alloc: delete the zonelist_cache
The zonelist cache (zlc) was introduced to skip over zones that were recently known to be full. This avoided expensive operations such as the cpuset checks, watermark calculations and zone_reclaim. The situation today is different and the complexity of zlc is harder to justify. 1) The cpuset checks are no-ops unless a cpuset is active and in general are a lot cheaper. 2) zone_reclaim is now disabled by default and I suspect that was a large source of the cost that zlc wanted to avoid. When it is enabled, it's known to be a major source of stalling when nodes fill up and it's unwise to hit every other user with the overhead. 3) Watermark checks are expensive to calculate for high-order allocation requests. Later patches in this series will reduce the cost of the watermark checking. 4) The most important issue is that in the current implementation it is possible for a failed THP allocation to mark a zone full for order-0 allocations and cause a fallback to remote nodes. The last issue could be addressed with additional complexity but as the benefit of zlc is questionable, it is better to remove it. If stalls due to zone_reclaim are ever reported then an alternative would be to introduce deferring logic based on a timeout inside zone_reclaim itself and leave the page allocator fast paths alone. The impact on page-allocator microbenchmarks is negligible as they don't hit the paths where the zlc comes into play. Most page-reclaim related workloads showed no noticeable difference as a result of the removal. The impact was noticeable in a workload called "stutter". One part uses a lot of anonymous memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file. In an ideal world the latency application would not notice the mmap latency. On a 2-node machine the results of this patch are stutter 4.3.0-rc1 4.3.0-rc1 baseline nozlc-v4 Min mmap 20.9243 ( 0.00%) 20.7716 ( 0.73%) 1st-qrtle mmap 22.0612 ( 0.00%) 22.0680 ( -0.03%) 2nd-qrtle mmap 22.3291 ( 0.00%) 22.3809 ( -0.23%) 3rd-qrtle mmap 25.2244 ( 0.00%) 25.2396 ( -0.06%) Max-90% mmap 48.0995 ( 0.00%) 28.3713 ( 41.02%) Max-93% mmap 52.5557 ( 0.00%) 36.0170 ( 31.47%) Max-95% mmap 55.8173 ( 0.00%) 47.3163 ( 15.23%) Max-99% mmap 67.3781 ( 0.00%) 70.1140 ( -4.06%) Max mmap 24447.6375 ( 0.00%) 12915.1356 ( 47.17%) Mean mmap 33.7883 ( 0.00%) 27.7944 ( 17.74%) Best99%Mean mmap 27.7825 ( 0.00%) 25.2767 ( 9.02%) Best95%Mean mmap 26.3912 ( 0.00%) 23.7994 ( 9.82%) Best90%Mean mmap 24.9886 ( 0.00%) 23.2251 ( 7.06%) Best50%Mean mmap 22.0157 ( 0.00%) 22.0261 ( -0.05%) Best10%Mean mmap 21.6705 ( 0.00%) 21.6083 ( 0.29%) Best5%Mean mmap 21.5581 ( 0.00%) 21.4611 ( 0.45%) Best1%Mean mmap 21.3079 ( 0.00%) 21.1631 ( 0.68%) Note that the maximum stall latency went from 24 seconds to 12 which is still bad but an improvement. The milage varies considerably 2-node machine on an earlier test went from 494 seconds to 47 seconds and a 4-node machine that tested an earlier version of this patch went from a worst case stall time of 6 seconds to 67ms. The nature of the benchmark is inherently unpredictable as it is hammering the system and the milage will vary between machines. There is a secondary impact with potentially more direct reclaim because zones are now being considered instead of being skipped by zlc. In this particular test run it did not occur so will not be described. However, in at least one test the following was observed 1. Direct reclaim rates were higher. This was likely due to direct reclaim being entered instead of the zlc disabling a zone and busy looping. Busy looping may have the effect of allowing kswapd to make more progress and in some cases may be better overall. If this is found then the correct action is to put direct reclaimers to sleep on a waitqueue and allow kswapd make forward progress. Busy looping on the zlc is even worse than when the allocator used to blindly call congestion_wait(). 2. There was higher swap activity as direct reclaim was active. 3. Direct reclaim efficiency was lower. This is related to 1 as more scanning activity also encountered more pages that could not be immediately reclaimed In that case, the direct page scan and reclaim rates are noticeable but it is not considered a problem for a few reasons 1. The test is primarily concerned with latency. The mmap attempts are also faulted which means there are THP allocation requests. The ZLC could cause zones to be disabled causing the process to busy loop instead of reclaiming. This looks like elevated direct reclaim activity but it's the correct action to take based on what processes requested. 2. The test hammers reclaim and compaction heavily. The number of successful THP faults is highly variable but affects the reclaim stats. It's not a realistic or reasonable measure of page reclaim activity. 3. No other page-reclaim intensive workload that was tested showed a problem. 4. If a workload is identified that benefitted from the busy looping then it should be fixed by having direct reclaimers sleep on a wait queue until woken by kswapd instead of busy looping. We had this class of problem before when congestion_waits() with a fixed timeout was a brain damaged decision but happened to benefit some workloads. If a workload is identified that relied on the zlc to busy loop then it should be fixed correctly and have a direct reclaimer sleep on a waitqueue until woken by kswapd.

mm, page_alloc: use masks and shifts when converting GFP flags to migrate types
This patch redefines which GFP bits are used for specifying mobility and the order of the migrate types. Once redefined it's possible to convert GFP flags to a migrate type with a simple mask and shift. The only downside is that readers of OOM kill messages and allocation failures may have been used to the existing values but scripts/gfp-translate will help.

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

libnvdimm for 4.3:
1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. 2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. 3/ Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. 4/ Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. 5/ Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAABAgAGBQJV6Nx7AAoJEB7SkWpmfYgCWyYQAI5ju6Gvw27RNFtPovHcZUf5 JGnxXejI6/AqeTQ+IulgprxtEUCrXOHjCDA5dkjr1qvsoqK1qxug+vJHOZLgeW0R OwDtmdW4Qrgeqm+CPoxETkorJ8wDOc8mol81kTiMgeV3UqbYeeHIiTAmwe7VzZ0C nNdCRDm5g8dHCjTKcvK3rvozgyoNoWeBiHkPe76EbnxDICxCB5dak7XsVKNMIVFQ NuYlnw6IYN7+rMHgpgpRux38NtIW8VlYPWTmHExejc2mlioWMNBG/bmtwLyJ6M3e zliz4/cnonTMUaizZaVozyinTa65m7wcnpjK+vlyGV2deDZPJpDRvSOtB0lH30bR 1gy+qrKzuGKpaN6thOISxFLLjmEeYwzYd7SvC9n118r32qShz+opN9XX0WmWSFlA sajE1ehm4M7s5pkMoa/dRnAyR8RUPu4RNINdQ/Z9jFfAOx+Q26rLdQXwf9+uqbEb bIeSQwOteK5vYYCstvpAcHSMlJAglzIX5UfZBvtEIJN7rlb0VhmGWfxAnTu+ktG1 o9cqAt+J4146xHaFwj5duTsyKhWb8BL9+xqbKPNpXEp+PbLsrnE/+WkDLFD67jxz dgIoK60mGnVXp+16I2uMqYYDgAyO5zUdmM4OygOMnZNa1mxesjbDJC6Wat1Wsndn slsw6DkrWT60CRE42nbK =o57/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has appeared in a linux-next release.

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

mm: meminit: make __early_pfn_to_nid SMP-safe and introduce meminit_pfn_in_nid
__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.

Since the latter can be trivially obtained by dereferencing the former, the overhead of the extra parameter is unjustified. This patch thus removes the zone parameter from next_zones_zonelist(). Both callers happen to be in the same header file, so it's simple to add the zoneref dereference inline.

mm/page_ext: resurrect struct page extending code for debugging
When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But, this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous situation. This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and solve related problems. Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so this patch resurrect it. To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in code comment. Please refer it. Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

mm: embed the memcg pointer directly into struct page
Memory cgroups used to have 5 per-page pointers. To allow users to disable that amount of overhead during runtime, those pointers were allocated in a separate array, with a translation layer between them and struct page. There is now only one page pointer remaining: the memcg pointer, that indicates which cgroup the page is associated with when charged. The complexity of runtime allocation and the runtime translation overhead is no longer justified to save that *potential* 0.19% of memory. With CONFIG_SLUB, page->mem_cgroup actually sits in the doubleword padding after the page->private member and doesn't even increase struct page, and then this patch actually saves space.

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

Page reclaim tests zone_is_reclaim_dirty(), but the site that actually sets this state does zone_set_flag(zone, ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY), sending the reader through layers indirection just to track down a simple bit. Remove all zone flag wrappers and just use bitops against zone->flags directly. It's just as readable and the lines are barely any longer.

mm: page_alloc: reduce cost of the fair zone allocation policy
The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim. If the first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt made before entering the slow path. One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly the same time and the resets each time are justified. This assumption does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will be consumed at uneven rates. Allocation failure due to watermark depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another watermark check before hitting the slowpath. On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%. On 4-socket NUMA machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with the vmstat changes. The system CPU overhead comparison looks like 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanilla vmstat-v5 lowercost-v5 User 746.94 774.56 802.00 System 65336.22 32847.27 40852.33 Elapsed 27553.52 27415.04 27368.46 However it is worth noting that the overall benchmark still completed faster and intuitively it makes sense to take as few passes as possible through the zonelists.

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

mem-hotplug: improve zone_movable_is_highmem logic
In original code, zone_movable_is_highmem() assumes ZONE_MOVABLE not highmem if CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is not set. In online_pages, it extracts pages from the previous zone before ZONE_MOVABLE. Which is logically inconsistent: If HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is turned off but HIGHMEM is on, zone_movable_is_highmem() makes movable zone not highmem, but online_pages() extracts pages from ZONE_HIGHMEM. This inconsistency doesn't cause real problem currently, because all architectures support online_pages also have HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. However, fixing it makes code clear, and also helps futher coding.

mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmaps
The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate the bits of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no other changes made in parallel. In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%. In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are possible between: a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype() reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them. b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype(). Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection. Vlastimil Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not necessarily in the same pageblock). Furthermore during development of unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to {start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages() and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is manipulated by e.g. list_move(). Further debugging confirmed that migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the free_list array. That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare, and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to memory hot remove. Races on pageblocks being updated by set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks. Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is used more, or when new migratetypes are added. After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn cache for async compaction
Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call left off. Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be potentially very expensive. This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for sync compaction.

mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of cpu/node online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node kmem_cache parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem hotplug. To protect against cpu hotplug, these functions use {get,put}_online_cpus. However, they do nothing to synchronize with memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex does not eliminate the possibility of race as described in patch 2. What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory. We already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but it's a bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex. As a result, it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not desirable, and can't be used just like get_online_cpus. That's why in patch 1 I substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly like get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug. [ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68. I NAK'ed it by myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems, making them dead lock prune. ] This patch (of 2): {un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a hammer - threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes mask won't be able to proceed concurrently. Also, it imposes some strong locking ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its usage scenarios. This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e. executing a code inside a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of online nodes, present pages, etc. lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will accumulate until the machine runs out of memory. To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then reclaim these nodes on memory pressure. A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list: 1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost. 2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter can easily be stored in the unused upper bits. 3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well. 4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing
The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists. One list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list. The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown to benefit from caching in the past. We call the recently usedbut ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for cache. This patch solves one half of the problem by decoupling the ability to detect working set changes from the inactive list size. By maintaining a history of recently evicted file pages it can detect frequently used pages with an arbitrarily small inactive list size, and subsequently apply pressure on the active list based on actual demand for cache, not just overall eviction speed. Every zone maintains a counter that tracks inactive list aging speed. When a page is evicted, a snapshot of this counter is stored in the now-empty page cache radix tree slot. On refault, the minimum access distance of the page can be assessed, to evaluate whether the page should be part of the active list or not. This fixes the VM's blindness towards working set changes in excess of the inactive list. And it's the foundation to further improve the protection ability and reduce the minimum inactive list size of 50%.

mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify
GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

mm: get rid of unnecessary pageblock scanning in setup_zone_migrate_reserve
Yasuaki Ishimatsu reported memory hot-add spent more than 5 _hours_ on 9TB memory machine since onlining memory sections is too slow. And we found out setup_zone_migrate_reserve spent >90% of the time. The problem is, setup_zone_migrate_reserve scans all pageblocks unconditionally, but it is only necessary if the number of reserved block was reduced (i.e. memory hot remove). Moreover, maximum MIGRATE_RESERVE per zone is currently 2. It means that the number of reserved pageblocks is almost always unchanged. This patch adds zone->nr_migrate_reserve_block to maintain the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks and it reduces the overhead of setup_zone_migrate_reserve dramatically.

mm: vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() livelock
This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description, please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74. Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock: kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to 0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at |

mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy
Each zone that holds userspace pages of one workload must be aged at a speed proportional to the zone size. Otherwise, the time an individual page gets to stay in memory depends on the zone it happened to be allocated in. Asymmetry in the zone aging creates rather unpredictable aging behavior and results in the wrong pages being reclaimed, activated etc. But exactly this happens right now because of the way the page allocator and kswapd interact. The page allocator uses per-node lists of all zones in the system, ordered by preference, when allocating a new page. When the first iteration does not yield any results, kswapd is woken up and the allocator retries. Due to the way kswapd reclaims zones below the high watermark while a zone can be allocated from when it is above the low watermark, the allocator may keep kswapd running while kswapd reclaim ensures that the page allocator can keep allocating from the first zone in the zonelist for extended periods of time. Meanwhile the other zones rarely see new allocations and thus get aged much slower in comparison. The result is that the occasional page placed in lower zones gets relatively more time in memory, even gets promoted to the active list after its peers have long been evicted. Meanwhile, the bulk of the working set may be thrashing on the preferred zone even though there may be significant amounts of memory available in the lower zones. Even the most basic test -- repeatedly reading a file slightly bigger than memory -- shows how broken the zone aging is. In this scenario, no single page should be able stay in memory long enough to get referenced twice and activated, but activation happens in spades: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 8 nr_inactive_file 1582 nr_active_file 11994 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 70 nr_inactive_file 258753 nr_active_file 443214 nr_inactive_file 149793 nr_active_file 12021 Fix this with a very simple round robin allocator. Each zone is allowed a batch of allocations that is proportional to the zone's size, after which it is treated as full. The batch counters are reset when all zones have been tried and the allocator enters the slowpath and kicks off kswapd reclaim. Allocation and reclaim is now fairly spread out to all available/allowable zones: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 174 nr_active_file 4865 nr_inactive_file 53 nr_active_file 860 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 666622 nr_active_file 4988 nr_inactive_file 190969 nr_active_file 937 When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, allocations will now spread out to all zones on the local node, not just the first preferred zone (which on a 4G node might be a tiny Normal zone).

sparsemem: add BUILD_BUG_ON when sizeof mem_section is non-power-of-2
Instead of leaving a hidden trap for the next person who comes along and wants to add something to mem_section, add a big fat warning about it needing to be a power-of-2, and insert a BUILD_BUG_ON() in sparse_init() to catch mistakes. Right now non-power-of-2 mem_sections cause a number of WARNs at boot (which don't clearly point to the size of mem_section as an issue), but the system limps on (temporarily, at least). This is based upon Dave Hansen's earlier RFC where he ran into the same issue: "sparsemem: fix boot when SECTIONS_PER_ROOT is not power-of-2" http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1205.2/03077.html Signed-off-by: Cody P Schafer <cody@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiang Liu <liuj97@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

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

mm: vmscan: have kswapd writeback pages based on dirty pages encountered, not priority
Currently kswapd queues dirty pages for writeback if scanning at an elevated priority but the priority kswapd scans at is not related to the number of unqueued dirty encountered. Since commit "mm: vmscan: Flatten kswapd priority loop", the priority is related to the size of the LRU and the zone watermark which is no indication as to whether kswapd should write pages or not. This patch tracks if an excessive number of unqueued dirty pages are being encountered at the end of the LRU. If so, it indicates that dirty pages are being recycled before flusher threads can clean them and flags the zone so that kswapd will start writing pages until the zone is balanced.

mm: zone_end_pfn is too small
Booting with 32 TBytes memory hits BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:552! (output
below).
The key hint is "page 4294967296 outside zone".
4294967296 = 0x100000000 (bit 32 is set).
The problem is in include/linux/mmzone.h:
530 static inline unsigned zone_end_pfn(const struct zone *zone)
531 {
532 return zone->zone_start_pfn + zone->spanned_pages;
533 }
zone_end_pfn is "unsigned" (32 bits). Changing it to "unsigned long"
(64 bits) fixes the problem.
zone_end_pfn() was added recently in commit

In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
