If a fatal signal has been received, fail immediately instead of trying to read more data. If wait_on_page_locked_killable() was interrupted then this page is most likely is not PageUptodate() and in this case do_generic_file_read() will fail after lock_page_killable().

There is a memory waste problem if we define field on struct page_ext by hard-coding. Entry size of struct page_ext includes the size of those fields even if it is disabled at runtime. Now, extra memory request at runtime is possible so page_owner don't need to define it's own fields by hard-coding. This patch removes hard-coded define and uses extra memory for storing page_owner information in page_owner. Most of code are just mechanical changes.

Until now, if some page_ext users want to use it's own field on page_ext, it should be defined in struct page_ext by hard-coding. It has a problem that wastes memory in following situation. struct page_ext { #ifdef CONFIG_A int a; #endif #ifdef CONFIG_B int b; #endif }; Assume that kernel is built with both CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B. Even if we enable feature A and doesn't enable feature B at runtime, each entry of struct page_ext takes two int rather than one int. It's undesirable result so this patch tries to fix it. To solve above problem, this patch implements to support extra space allocation at runtime. When need() callback returns true, it's extra memory requirement is summed to entry size of page_ext. Also, offset for each user's extra memory space is returned. With this offset, user can use this extra space and there is no need to define needed field on page_ext by hard-coding. This patch only implements an infrastructure. Following patch will use it for page_owner which is only user having it's own fields on page_ext.

What debug_pagealloc does is just mapping/unmapping page table. Basically, it doesn't need additional memory space to memorize something. But, with guard page feature, it requires additional memory to distinguish if the page is for guard or not. Guard page is only used when debug_guardpage_minorder is non-zero so this patch removes additional memory allocation (page_ext) if debug_guardpage_minorder is zero. It saves memory if we just use debug_pagealloc and not guard page. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1471315879-32294-3-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Reduce memory waste by page extension user". This patchset tries to reduce memory waste by page extension user. First case is architecture supported debug_pagealloc. It doesn't requires additional memory if guard page isn't used. 8 bytes per page will be saved in this case. Second case is related to page owner feature. Until now, if page_ext users want to use it's own fields on page_ext, fields should be defined in struct page_ext by hard-coding. It has a following problem. struct page_ext { #ifdef CONFIG_A int a; #endif #ifdef CONFIG_B int b; #endif }; Assume that kernel is built with both CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B. Even if we enable feature A and doesn't enable feature B at runtime, each entry of struct page_ext takes two int rather than one int. It's undesirable waste so this patch tries to reduce it. By this patchset, we can save 20 bytes per page dedicated for page owner feature in some configurations. This patch (of 6): We can make code clean by moving decision condition for set_page_guard() into set_page_guard() itself. It will help code readability. There is no functional change.

throttle_vm_writeout() was introduced back in 2005 to fix OOMs caused by excessive pageout activity during the reclaim. Too many pages could be put under writeback therefore LRUs would be full of unreclaimable pages until the IO completes and in turn the OOM killer could be invoked. There have been some important changes introduced since then in the reclaim path though. Writers are throttled by balance_dirty_pages when initiating the buffered IO and later during the memory pressure, the direct reclaim is throttled by wait_iff_congested if the node is considered congested by dirty pages on LRUs and the underlying bdi is congested by the queued IO. The kswapd is throttled as well if it encounters pages marked for immediate reclaim or under writeback which signals that that there are too many pages under writeback already. Finally should_reclaim_retry does congestion_wait if the reclaim cannot make any progress and there are too many dirty/writeback pages. Another important aspect is that we do not issue any IO from the direct reclaim context anymore. In a heavy parallel load this could queue a lot of IO which would be very scattered and thus unefficient which would just make the problem worse. This three mechanisms should throttle and keep the amount of IO in a steady state even under heavy IO and memory pressure so yet another throttling point doesn't really seem helpful. Quite contrary, Mikulas Patocka has reported that swap backed by dm-crypt doesn't work properly because the swapout IO cannot make sufficient progress as the writeout path depends on dm_crypt worker which has to allocate memory to perform the encryption. In order to guarantee a forward progress it relies on the mempool allocator. mempool_alloc(), however, prefers to use the underlying (usually page) allocator before it grabs objects from the pool. Such an allocation can dive into the memory reclaim and consequently to throttle_vm_writeout. If there are too many dirty or pages under writeback it will get throttled even though it is in fact a flusher to clear pending pages. kworker/u4:0 D ffff88003df7f438 10488 6 2 0x00000000 Workqueue: kcryptd kcryptd_crypt [dm_crypt] Call Trace: schedule+0x3c/0x90 schedule_timeout+0x1d8/0x360 io_schedule_timeout+0xa4/0x110 congestion_wait+0x86/0x1f0 throttle_vm_writeout+0x44/0xd0 shrink_zone_memcg+0x613/0x720 shrink_zone+0xe0/0x300 do_try_to_free_pages+0x1ad/0x450 try_to_free_pages+0xef/0x300 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x879/0x1210 alloc_pages_current+0xa1/0x1f0 new_slab+0x2d7/0x6a0 ___slab_alloc+0x3fb/0x5c0 __slab_alloc+0x51/0x90 kmem_cache_alloc+0x27b/0x310 mempool_alloc_slab+0x1d/0x30 mempool_alloc+0x91/0x230 bio_alloc_bioset+0xbd/0x260 kcryptd_crypt+0x114/0x3b0 [dm_crypt] Let's just drop throttle_vm_writeout altogether. It is not very much helpful anymore. I have tried to test a potential writeback IO runaway similar to the one described in the original patch which has introduced that [1]. Small virtual machine (512MB RAM, 4 CPUs, 2G of swap space and disk image on a rather slow NFS in a sync mode on the host) with 8 parallel writers each writing 1G worth of data. As soon as the pagecache fills up and the direct reclaim hits then I start anon memory consumer in a loop (allocating 300M and exiting after populating it) in the background to make the memory pressure even stronger as well as to disrupt the steady state for the IO. The direct reclaim is throttled because of the congestion as well as kswapd hitting congestion_wait due to nr_immediate but throttle_vm_writeout doesn't ever trigger the sleep throughout the test. Dirty+writeback are close to nr_dirty_threshold with some fluctuations caused by the anon consumer.

On x86_64 MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is usually 4M, and a pageblock is usually 2M, so we only set one pageblock's migratetype in deferred_free_range() if pfn is aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. That means it causes uninitialized migratetype blocks, you can see from "cat /proc/pagetypeinfo", almost half blocks are Unmovable. Also we missed freeing the last block in deferred_init_memmap(), it causes memory leak.

Commit 342332e6 ("mm/page_alloc.c: introduce kernelcore=mirror option") rewrote the calculation of node spanned pages. But when we have a movable node, the size of node spanned pages is double added.

The compaction_ready() is used during direct reclaim for costly order allocations to skip reclaim for zones where compaction should be attempted instead. It's combining the standard compaction_suitable() check with its own watermark check based on high watermark with extra gap, and the result is confusing at best. This patch attempts to better structure and document the checks involved. First, compaction_suitable() can determine that the allocation should either succeed already, or that compaction doesn't have enough free pages to proceed. The third possibility is that compaction has enough free pages, but we still decide to reclaim first - unless we are already above the high watermark with gap. This does not mean that the reclaim will actually reach this watermark during single attempt, this is rather an over-reclaim protection. So document the code as such. The check for compaction_deferred() is removed completely, as it in fact had no proper role here. The result after this patch is mainly a less confusing code. We also skip some over-reclaim in cases where the allocation should already succed. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160810091226.6709-12-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. Then __isolate_free_page uses low watermark check to decide if particular free page can be isolated. In the latter case, using low watermark is needlessly pessimistic, as the free page isolations are only temporary. For __compaction_suitable() the higher watermark makes sense for high-order allocations where more freepages increase the chance of success, and we can typically fail with some order-0 fallback when the system is struggling to reach that watermark. But for low-order allocation, forming the page should not be that hard. So using low watermark here might just prevent compaction from even trying, and eventually lead to OOM killer even if we are above min watermarks. So after this patch, we use min watermark for non-costly orders in __compaction_suitable(), and for all orders in __isolate_free_page().

The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform compaction. This check uses direct compactor's alloc_flags, but that's wrong, since these flags are not applicable for freepage isolation. For example, alloc_flags may indicate access to memory reserves, making compaction proceed, and then fail watermark check during the isolation. A similar problem exists for ALLOC_CMA, which may be part of alloc_flags, but not during freepage isolation. In this case however it makes sense to use ALLOC_CMA both in __compaction_suitable() and __isolate_free_page(), since there's actually nothing preventing the freepage scanner to isolate from CMA pageblocks, with the assumption that a page that could be migrated once by compaction can be migrated also later by CMA allocation. Thus we should count pages in CMA pageblocks when considering compaction suitability and when isolating freepages. To sum up, this patch should remove some false positives from __compaction_suitable(), and allow compaction to proceed when free pages required for compaction reside in the CMA pageblocks.

The __compact_finished() function uses low watermark in a check that has to pass if the direct compaction is to finish and allocation should succeed. This is too pessimistic, as the allocation will typically use min watermark. It may happen that during compaction, we drop below the low watermark (due to parallel activity), but still form the target high-order page. By checking against low watermark, we might needlessly continue compaction. Similarly, __compaction_suitable() uses low watermark in a check whether allocation can succeed without compaction. Again, this is unnecessarily pessimistic. After this patch, these check will use direct compactor's alloc_flags to determine the watermark, which is effectively the min watermark.

During reclaim/compaction loop, it's desirable to get a final answer from unsuccessful compaction so we can either fail the allocation or invoke the OOM killer. However, heuristics such as deferred compaction or pageblock skip bits can cause compaction to skip parts or whole zones and lead to premature OOM's, failures or excessive reclaim/compaction retries. To remedy this, we introduce a new direct compaction priority called COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL, which instructs direct compaction to: - ignore deferred compaction status for a zone - ignore pageblock skip hints - ignore cached scanner positions and scan the whole zone The new priority should get eventually picked up by should_compact_retry() and this should improve success rates for costly allocations using __GFP_REPEAT, such as hugetlbfs allocations, and reduce some corner-case OOM's for non-costly allocations.

Joonsoo has reminded me that in a later patch changing watermark checks throughout compaction I forgot to update checks in try_to_compact_pages() and compactd_do_work(). Closer inspection however shows that they are redundant now in the success case, because compact_zone() now reliably reports this with COMPACT_SUCCESS. So effectively the checks just repeat (a subset) of checks that have just passed. So instead of checking watermarks again, just test the return value. Note it's also possible that compaction would declare failure e.g. because its find_suitable_fallback() is more strict than simple watermark check, and then the watermark check we are removing would then still succeed. After this patch this is not possible and it's arguably better, because for long-term fragmentation avoidance we should rather try a different zone than allocate with the unsuitable fallback. If compaction of all zones fail and the allocation is important enough, it will retry and succeed anyway. Also remove the stray "bool success" variable from kcompactd_do_work().

COMPACT_PARTIAL has historically meant that compaction returned after doing some work without fully compacting a zone. It however didn't distinguish if compaction terminated because it succeeded in creating the requested high-order page. This has changed recently and now we only return COMPACT_PARTIAL when compaction thinks it succeeded, or the high-order watermark check in compaction_suitable() passes and no compaction needs to be done. So at this point we can make the return value clearer by renaming it to COMPACT_SUCCESS. The next patch will remove some redundant tests for success where compaction just returned COMPACT_SUCCESS.

Patch series "make direct compaction more deterministic") This is mostly a followup to Michal's oom detection rework, which highlighted the need for direct compaction to provide better feedback in reclaim/compaction loop, so that it can reliably recognize when compaction cannot make further progress, and allocation should invoke OOM killer or fail. We've discussed this at LSF/MM [1] where I proposed expanding the async/sync migration mode used in compaction to more general "priorities". This patchset adds one new priority that just overrides all the heuristics and makes compaction fully scan all zones. I don't currently think that we need more fine-grained priorities, but we'll see. Other than that there's some smaller fixes and cleanups, mainly related to the THP-specific hacks. I've tested this with stress-highalloc in GFP_KERNEL order-4 and THP-like order-9 scenarios. There's some improvement for compaction stats for the order-4, which is likely due to the better watermarks handling. In the previous version I reported mostly noise wrt compaction stats, and decreased direct reclaim - now the reclaim is without difference. I believe this is due to the less aggressive compaction priority increase in patch 6. "before" is a mmotm tree prior to 4.7 release plus the first part of the series that was sent and merged separately before after order-4: Compaction stalls 27216 30759 Compaction success 19598 25475 Compaction failures 7617 5283 Page migrate success 370510 464919 Page migrate failure 25712 27987 Compaction pages isolated 849601 1041581 Compaction migrate scanned 143146541 101084990 Compaction free scanned 208355124 144863510 Compaction cost 1403 1210 order-9: Compaction stalls 7311 7401 Compaction success 1634 1683 Compaction failures 5677 5718 Page migrate success 194657 183988 Page migrate failure 4753 4170 Compaction pages isolated 498790 456130 Compaction migrate scanned 565371 524174 Compaction free scanned 4230296 4250744 Compaction cost 215 203 [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/684611/ This patch (of 11): A recent patch has added whole_zone flag that compaction sets when scanning starts from the zone boundary, in order to report that zone has been fully scanned in one attempt. For allocations that want to try really hard or cannot fail, we will want to introduce a mode where scanning whole zone is guaranteed regardless of the cached positions. This patch reuses the whole_zone flag in a way that if it's already passed true to compaction, the cached scanner positions are ignored. Employing this flag during reclaim/compaction loop will be done in the next patch. This patch however converts compaction invoked from userspace via procfs to use this flag. Before this patch, the cached positions were first reset to zone boundaries and then read back from struct zone, so there was a window where a parallel compaction could replace the reset values, making the manual compaction less effective.

When selecting an oom victim, we use the same heuristic for both memory cgroup and global oom. The only difference is the scope of tasks to select the victim from. So we could just export an iterator over all memcg tasks and keep all oom related logic in oom_kill.c, but instead we duplicate pieces of it in memcontrol.c reusing some initially private functions of oom_kill.c in order to not duplicate all of it. That looks ugly and error prone, because any modification of select_bad_process should also be propagated to mem_cgroup_out_of_memory. Let's rework this as follows: keep all oom heuristic related code private to oom_kill.c and make oom_kill.c use exported memcg functions when it's really necessary (like in case of iterating over memcg tasks).

Though the time_before and time_after family of functions were nicely extended to support jiffies64, so that the interface would be consistent, it was forgotten to also extend the before/after jiffies functions to support jiffies64. This commit brings the interface to parity between jiffies and jiffies64, which is quite convenient. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160929033319.12188-1-Jason@zx2c4.comSigned-off-by:

When freeing permission events by fsnotify_destroy_event(), the warning WARN_ON(!list_empty(&event->list)); may falsely hit. This is because although fanotify_get_response() saw event->response set, there is nothing to make sure the current CPU also sees the removal of the event from the list. Add proper locking around the WARN_ON() to avoid the false warning. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473797711-14111-7-git-send-email-jack@suse.czReported-by:

Fanotify code has its own lock (access_lock) to protect a list of events waiting for a response from userspace. However this is somewhat awkward as the same list_head in the event is protected by notification_lock if it is part of the notification queue and by access_lock if it is part of the fanotify private queue which makes it difficult for any reliable checks in the generic code. So make fanotify use the same lock - notification_lock - for protecting its private event list. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473797711-14111-6-git-send-email-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

fsnotify_flush_notify() and fanotify_release() destroy notification event while holding notification_mutex. The destruction of fanotify event includes a path_put() call which may end up calling into a filesystem to delete an inode if we happen to be the last holders of dentry reference which happens to be the last holder of inode reference. That in turn may violate lock ordering for some filesystems since notification_mutex is also acquired e. g. during write when generating fanotify event. Also this is the only thing that forces notification_mutex to be a sleeping lock. So drop notification_mutex before destroying a notification event.
