There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to running, like switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped frames. To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory of the process immediately when the app switches to forground. Calling process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

Since merged pages are copied every time they need to be modified, the write access time is different between shared and non-shared pages. Add ksm_cow_time() function which evaluates latency of these COW breaks. First, 4000 pages are allocated and the time, required to modify 1 byte in every other page, is measured. After this, the pages are merged into 2000 pairs and in each pair, 1 page is modified (i.e. they are decoupled) to detect COW breaks. The time needed to break COW of merged pages is then compared with performance of non-shared pages. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -C The output: Total size: 15 MiB Not merged pages: Total time: 0.002185489 s Average speed: 3202.945 MiB/s Merged pages: Total time: 0.004386872 s Average speed: 1595.670 MiB/s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1d03ee0d1b341959d4b61672c6401d498bff5652.1629386192.git.zhansayabagdaulet@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Add check_ksm_numa_merge() function to test that pages in different NUMA nodes are being handled properly. First, two duplicate pages are allocated in two separate NUMA nodes using the libnuma library. Since there is one unique page in each node, with merge_across_nodes = 0, there won't be any shared pages. If merge_across_nodes is set to 1, the pages will be treated as usual duplicate pages and will be merged. If NUMA config is not enabled or the number of NUMA nodes is less than two, then the test is skipped.

Patch series "add KSM selftests". Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of KSM. The tests are run on private anonymous pages. Since some KSM tunables are modified, their starting values are saved and restored after testing. At the start, run is set to 2 to ensure that only test pages will be merged (we assume that no applications make madvise syscalls in the background). If KSM config not enabled, all tests will be skipped. This patch (of 4): Add check_ksm_merge() function to check the basic merging feature of KSM. First, some number of identical pages are allocated and the MADV_MERGEABLE advice is given to merge these pages. Then, pages_shared and pages_sharing values are compared with the expected numbers using assert_ksm_pages_count() function. The number of pages can be changed using -p option.

In modern systems it's not unusual to have a system component monitoring memory conditions of the system and tasked with keeping system memory pressure under control. One way to accomplish that is to kill non-essential processes to free up memory for more important ones. Examples of this are Facebook's OOM killer daemon called oomd and Android's low memory killer daemon called lmkd. For such system component it's important to be able to free memory quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately the time process takes to free up its memory after receiving a SIGKILL might vary based on the state of the process (uninterruptible sleep), size and OPP level of the core the process is running. A mechanism to free resources of the target process in a more predictable way would improve system's ability to control its memory pressure. Introduce process_mrelease system call that releases memory of a dying process from the context of the caller. This way the memory is freed in a more controllable way with CPU affinity and priority of the caller. The workload of freeing the memory will also be charged to the caller. The operation is allowed only on a dying process. After previous discussions [1, 2, 3] the decision was made [4] to introduce a dedicated system call to cover this use case. The API is as follows, int process_mrelease(int pidfd, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION The process_mrelease() system call is used to free the memory of an exiting process. The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor. (See pidfd_open(2) for further information) The flags argument is reserved for future use; currently, this argument must be specified as 0. RETURN VALUE On success, process_mrelease() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EBADF pidfd is not a valid PID file descriptor. EAGAIN Failed to release part of the address space.

There are a lot of uses of memblock_find_in_range() along with memblock_reserve() from the times memblock allocation APIs did not exist. memblock_find_in_range() is the very core of memblock allocations, so any future changes to its internal behaviour would mandate updates of all the users outside memblock. Replace the calls to memblock_find_in_range() with an equivalent calls to memblock_phys_alloc() and memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make memblock_find_in_range() private method of memblock. This simplifies the callers, ensures that (unlikely) errors in memblock_reserve() are handled and improves maintainability of memblock_find_in_range().

Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal admin-guide with this patch. Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2), get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text about this mode. Those shall contain the canonical reference. NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent. New technologies like PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly desirable. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes that will be tried first when performing allocations. If those allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried. It's a straight forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines. The mode will work either per VMA, or per thread.

Implement the missing huge page allocation functionality while obeying the preferred node semantics. This is similar to the implementation for general page allocation, as it uses a fallback mechanism to try multiple preferred nodes first, and then all other nodes. To avoid adding too many "#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA" check, add a helper function in mempolicy.h to check whether a mempolicy is MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.

Patch series "Introduce multi-preference mempolicy", v7. This patch series introduces the concept of the MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mempolicy. This mempolicy mode can be used with either the set_mempolicy(2) or mbind(2) interfaces. Like the MPOL_PREFERRED interface, it allows an application to set a preference for nodes which will fulfil memory allocation requests. Unlike the MPOL_PREFERRED mode, it takes a set of nodes. Like the MPOL_BIND interface, it works over a set of nodes. Unlike MPOL_BIND, it will not cause a SIGSEGV or invoke the OOM killer if those preferred nodes are not available. Along with these patches are patches for libnuma, numactl, numademo, and memhog. They still need some polish, but can be found here: https://gitlab.com/bwidawsk/numactl/-/tree/prefer-many It allows new usage: `numactl -P 0,3,4` The goal of the new mode is to enable some use-cases when using tiered memory usage models which I've lovingly named. 1a. The Hare - The interconnect is fast enough to meet bandwidth and latency requirements allowing preference to be given to all nodes with "fast" memory. 1b. The Indiscriminate Hare - An application knows it wants fast memory (or perhaps slow memory), but doesn't care which node it runs on. The application can prefer a set of nodes and then xpu bind to the local node (cpu, accelerator, etc). This reverses the nodes are chosen today where the kernel attempts to use local memory to the CPU whenever possible. This will attempt to use the local accelerator to the memory. 2. The Tortoise - The administrator (or the application itself) is aware it only needs slow memory, and so can prefer that. Much of this is almost achievable with the bind interface, but the bind interface suffers from an inability to fallback to another set of nodes if binding fails to all nodes in the nodemask. Like MPOL_BIND a nodemask is given. Inherently this removes ordering from the preference. > /* Set first two nodes as preferred in an 8 node system. */ > const unsigned long nodes = 0x3 > set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8); > /* Mimic interleave policy, but have fallback *. > const unsigned long nodes = 0xaa > set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8); Some internal discussion took place around the interface. There are two alternatives which we have discussed, plus one I stuck in: 1. Ordered list of nodes. Currently it's believed that the added complexity is nod needed for expected usecases. 2. A flag for bind to allow falling back to other nodes. This confuses the notion of binding and is less flexible than the current solution. 3. Create flags or new modes that helps with some ordering. This offers both a friendlier API as well as a solution for more customized usage. It's unknown if it's worth the complexity to support this. Here is sample code for how this might work: > // Prefer specific nodes for some something wacky > set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, 0x17c, 1024); > > // Default > set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_SOCKET, NULL, 0); > // which is the same as > set_mempolicy(MPOL_DEFAULT, NULL, 0); > > // The Hare > set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, NULL, 0); > > // The Tortoise > set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE_REV, NULL, 0); > > // Prefer the fast memory of the first two sockets > set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, -1, 2); > This patch (of 5): The NUMA APIs currently allow passing in a "preferred node" as a single bit set in a nodemask. If more than one bit it set, bits after the first are ignored. This single node is generally OK for location-based NUMA where memory being allocated will eventually be operated on by a single CPU. However, in systems with multiple memory types, folks want to target a *type* of memory instead of a location. For instance, someone might want some high-bandwidth memory but do not care about the CPU next to which it is allocated. Or, they want a cheap, high capacity allocation and want to target all NUMA nodes which have persistent memory in volatile mode. In both of these cases, the application wants to target a *set* of nodes, but does not want strict MPOL_BIND behavior as that could lead to OOM killer or SIGSEGV. So add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy to support the multiple preferred nodes requirement. This is not a pie-in-the-sky dream for an API. This was a response to a specific ask of more than one group at Intel. Specifically: 1. There are existing libraries that target memory types such as https://github.com/memkind/memkind. These are known to suffer from SIGSEGV's when memory is low on targeted memory "kinds" that span more than one node. The MCDRAM on a Xeon Phi in "Cluster on Die" mode is an example of this. 2. Volatile-use persistent memory users want to have a memory policy which is targeted at either "cheap and slow" (PMEM) or "expensive and fast" (DRAM). However, they do not want to experience allocation failures when the targeted type is unavailable. 3. Allocate-then-run. Generally, we let the process scheduler decide on which physical CPU to run a task. That location provides a default allocation policy, and memory availability is not generally considered when placing tasks. For situations where memory is valuable and constrained, some users want to allocate memory first, *then* allocate close compute resources to the allocation. This is the reverse of the normal (CPU) model. Accelerators such as GPUs that operate on core-mm-managed memory are interested in this model. A check is added in sanitize_mpol_flags() to not permit 'prefer_many' policy to be used for now, and will be removed in later patch after all implementations for 'prefer_many' are ready, as suggested by Michal Hocko.

The proactive compaction[1] gets triggered for every 500msec and run compaction on the node for COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (usually order-9) pages based on the value set to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness. Triggering the compaction for every 500msec in search of COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER pages is not needed for all applications, especially on the embedded system usecases which may have few MB's of RAM. Enabling the proactive compaction in its state will endup in running almost always on such systems. Other side, proactive compaction can still be very much useful for getting a set of higher order pages in some controllable manner(controlled by using the sysctl.compaction_proactiveness). So, on systems where enabling the proactive compaction always may proove not required, can trigger the same from user space on write to its sysctl interface. As an example, say app launcher decide to launch the memory heavy application which can be launched fast if it gets more higher order pages thus launcher can prepare the system in advance by triggering the proactive compaction from userspace. This triggering of proactive compaction is done on a write to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness by user.

Vlastimil Babka figured out that when fragmentation score didn't go down across the proactive compaction i.e. when no progress is made, next wake up for proactive compaction is deferred for 1 << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT, i.e. 64 times, with each wakeup interval of HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC(=500). In each of this wakeup, it just decrement 'proactive_defer' counter and goes sleep i.e. it is getting woken to just decrement a counter. The same deferral time can also achieved by simply doing the HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT thus unnecessary wakeup of kcompact thread is avoided thus also removes the need of 'proactive_defer' thread counter.

drop_slab_node() is called as part of echo 2>/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches operation. It iterates over all memcgs and calls shrink_slab() which in turn iterates over all slab shrinkers. Freed objects are counted and as long as the total number of freed objects from all memcgs and shrinkers is higher than 10, drop_slab_node() loops for another full memcgs*shrinkers iteration. This arbitrary constant threshold of 10 can result in effectively an infinite loop on a system with large number of memcgs and/or parallel activity that allocates new objects. This has been reported previously by Chunxin Zang [1] and recently by our customer. The previous report [1] has resulted in commit 069c411d ("mm/vmscan: fix infinite loop in drop_slab_node") which added a check for signals allowing the user to terminate the command writing to drop_caches. At the time it was also considered to make the threshold grow with each iteration to guarantee termination, but such patch hasn't been formally proposed yet. This patch implements the dynamically growing threshold. At first iteration it's enough to free one object to continue, and this threshold effectively doubles with each iteration. Our customer's feedback was positive. There is always a risk that this change will result on some system in a previously terminating drop_caches operation to terminate sooner and free fewer objects. Ideally the semantics would guarantee freeing all freeable objects that existed at the moment of starting the operation, while not looping forever for newly allocated objects, but that's not feasible to track. In the less ideal solution based on thresholds, arguably the termination guarantee is more important than the exhaustiveness guarantee. If there are reports of large regression wrt being exhaustive, we can tune how fast the threshold grows.
