User-visible effect: Architectures that choose this method of maintaining cache coherency (MIPS and xtensa currently) are able to use high memory on cores with aliasing data cache. Without this fix such architectures can not use high memory (in case of xtensa it means that at most 128 MBytes of physical memory is available). The problem: VIPT cache with way size larger than MMU page size may suffer from aliasing problem: a single physical address accessed via different virtual addresses may end up in multiple locations in the cache. Virtual mappings of a physical address that always get cached in different cache locations are said to have different colors. L1 caching hardware usually doesn't handle this situation leaving it up to software. Software must avoid this situation as it leads to data corruption. What can be done: One way to handle this is to flush and invalidate data cache every time page mapping changes color. The other way is to always map physical page at a virtual address with the same color. Low memory pages already have this property. Giving architecture a way to control color of high memory page mapping allows reusing of existing low memory cache alias handling code. How this is done with this patch: Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align mapping address of high pages according to their color. Such architectures may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page mappings and reuse existing cache management functions to support highmem. This code is based on the implementation of similar feature for MIPS by Leonid Yegoshin. Signed-off-by:

When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following methods: 1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module. The funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput. This method was rejected by several ker= nel maintainers. 2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism. The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap). That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect the release call= back function to remove itself from the list. Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object itself. As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must to be done in a delayed fashion. This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls th= at function with call_srcu. In that function, the kernel module releases its object. To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module needs to call b= efore that a new function called mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies, unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back. This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier. Signed-off-by:

__kmap_atomic_idx is per_cpu variable. Each CPU can use KM_TYPE_NR entries from FIXMAP i.e. from 0 to KM_TYPE_NR - 1. Allowing __kmap_atomic_idx to over- shoot to KM_TYPE_NR can mess up with next CPU's 0th entry which is a bug. Hence BUG_ON if __kmap_atomic_idx >= KM_TYPE_NR. Fix the off-by-on in this test.

Charge reclaim and OOM currently use the charge batch variable, but batching is already disabled at that point. To simplify the charge logic, the batch variable is reset to the original request size when reclaim is entered, so it's functionally equal, but it's misleading. Switch reclaim/OOM to nr_pages, which is the original request size. Signed-off-by:

After a VMA is created with the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag set, /proc/pid/pagemap should report that the VMA's virtual pages are soft-dirty until VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared (i.e., by the next write of "4" to /proc/pid/clear_refs). However, pagemap ignores the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag for virtual addresses that fall in PTE holes (i.e., virtual addresses that don't have a PMD, PUD, or PGD allocated yet). To observe this bug, use mmap to create a VMA large enough such that there's a good chance that the VMA will occupy an unused PMD, then test the soft-dirty bit on its pages. In practice, I found that a VMA that covered a PMD's worth of address space was big enough. This patch adds the necessary VMA lookup to the PTE hole callback in /proc/pid/pagemap's page walk and sets soft-dirty according to the VMAs' VM_SOFTDIRTY flag. Signed-off-by:

Things can go wrong if fault_around_bytes will be changed under do_fault_around(): between fault_around_mask() and fault_around_pages(). Let's read fault_around_bytes only once during do_fault_around() and calculate mask based on the reading. Note: fault_around_bytes can only be updated via debug interface. Also I've tried but was not able to trigger a bad behaviour without the patch. So I would not consider this patch as urgent. Signed-off-by:

When memory cgoups are enabled, the code that decides to force to scan anonymous pages in get_scan_count() compares global values (free, high_watermark) to a value that is restricted to a memory cgroup (file). It make the code over-eager to force anon scan. For instance, it will force anon scan when scanning a memcg that is mainly populated by anonymous page, even when there is plenty of file pages to get rid of in others memcgs, even when swappiness == 0. It breaks user's expectation about swappiness and hurts performance. This patch makes sure that forced anon scan only happens when there not enough file pages for the all zone, not just in one random memcg. [hannes@cmpxchg.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:

The oom killer scans each process and determines whether it is eligible for oom kill or whether the oom killer should abort because of concurrent memory freeing. It will abort when an eligible process is found to have TIF_MEMDIE set, meaning it has already been oom killed and we're waiting for it to exit. Processes with task->mm == NULL should not be considered because they are either kthreads or have already detached their memory and killing them would not lead to memory freeing. That memory is only freed after exit_mm() has returned, however, and not when task->mm is first set to NULL. Clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mm()'s mmput() so that an oom killed process is no longer considered for oom kill, but only until exit_mm() has returned. This was fragile in the past because it relied on exit_notify() to be reached before no longer considering TIF_MEMDIE processes. Signed-off-by:

It is possible for some platforms, such as powerpc to set HPAGE_SHIFT to 0 to indicate huge pages not supported. When this is the case, hugetlbfs could be disabled during boot time: hugetlbfs: disabling because there are no supported hugepage sizes Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for 64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order) As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before calling dissolve_free_huge_pages().

__GFP_NO_KSWAPD, once the way to determine if an allocation was for thp or not, has gained more users. Their use is not necessarily wrong, they are trying to do a memory allocation that can easily fail without disturbing kswapd, so the bit has gained additional usecases. This restructures the check to determine whether MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT should be used for memory compaction in the page allocator. Rather than testing solely for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, test for all bits that must be set for thp allocations. This also moves the check to be done only after the page allocator is aborted for deferred or contended memory compaction since setting migration_mode for this case is pointless. Signed-off-by:

try_set_zonelist_oom() and clear_zonelist_oom() are not named properly to imply that they require locking semantics to avoid out_of_memory() being reordered. zone_scan_lock is required for both functions to ensure that there is proper locking synchronization. Rename try_set_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_trylock() and rename clear_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_unlock() to imply there is proper locking semantics. At the same time, convert oom_zonelist_trylock() to return bool instead of int since only success and failure are tested. Signed-off-by:

With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist. When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist for first_online_node may become NULL. The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler. Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.

This series of patches fixes a problem when adding memory in bad manner. For example: for a x86_64 machine booted with "mem=400M" and with 2GiB memory installed, following commands cause problem: # echo 0x40000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe [ 28.613895] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x40000000-0x47ffffff] # echo 0x48000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe [ 28.693675] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x48000000-0x4fffffff] # echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state # echo 0x50000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe [ 29.084090] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x50000000-0x57ffffff] # echo 0x58000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe [ 29.151880] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x58000000-0x5fffffff] # echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory11/state # echo online> /sys/devices/system/memory/memory8/state # echo online> /sys/devices/system/memory/memory10/state # echo offline> /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state [ 30.558819] Offlined Pages 32768 # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 780588 18014398509432020 830552 0 0 51180 -/+ buffers/cache: 18014398509380840 881732 Swap: 0 0 0 This is because the above commands probe higher memory after online a section with online_movable, which causes ZONE_HIGHMEM (or ZONE_NORMAL for systems without ZONE_HIGHMEM) overlaps ZONE_MOVABLE. After the second online_movable, the problem can be observed from zoneinfo: # cat /proc/zoneinfo ...

Many arch_add_memory() function simply selects ZONE_HIGHMEM or ZONE_NORMAL and add new memory into it. However, with the existance of ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other. should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE. If it has already contain memory, compare the address of new memory and movable memory. If new memory is higher than movable, it should be added into ZONE_MOVABLE instead of default zone.

Commit 9f1b868a ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node") improved the previous khugepaged logic which allocated a transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed. However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which may suffer from additional access latency. With the current policy, it is possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed remotely if the majority are allocated from that node. When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every attempt to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation. In this case, we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that would suffer from increased access latency. Thus, when zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only allow collapsing to nodes with RECLAIM_DISTANCE or less. There is no functional change for systems that disable zone_reclaim_mode. Signed-off-by:

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 purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for use with 32-bit devices. If locality is preferred then the numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used. Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found. While this makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the expected zonelist policy. This patch restores the expected behaviour for zone-list ordering. Signed-off-by:

When kswapd is awake reclaiming, the per-cpu stat thresholds are lowered to get more accurate counts to avoid breaching watermarks. This threshold update iterates over all possible CPUs which is unnecessary. Only online CPUs need to be updated.

zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim and it's also updated during page free. Move the counter into vmstat to take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free paths unless necessary. On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU overhead is unpredictable. 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 3.16.0-rc3 vanillarearrange-v5 vmstat-v5 User 746.94 759.78 774.56 System 65336.22 58350.98 32847.27 Elapsed 27553.52 27282.02 27415.04 Note that the overhead reduction will vary depending on where exactly pages are allocated and freed.

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: -

This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0. While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ. The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to insufficient benchmarking. This series is what's left. It's one functional fix to the fair zone allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead in general. tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.

Until now, the reporting from trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl is not very useful because we cannot directly use this script for checking the file/anon ratio of scanning.

When limiting memory by mem= and ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80, firmware_map_entrys of same memory range are allocated and memmap X sysfses which have same memory range are created as follows: # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/0/* 0x407ffffffff 0x40000000000 System RAM # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/33/* 0x407ffffffff 0x40000000000 System RAM # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/35/* 0x407ffffffff 0x40000000000 System RAM In this case, when hot-removing memory, kernel panic occurs, showing following call trace: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000001003e000b IP: sysfs_open_file+0x46/0x2b0 PGD 203a89fe067 PUD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP ... Call Trace: do_dentry_open+0x1ef/0x2a0 finish_open+0x31/0x40 do_last+0x57c/0x1220 path_openat+0xc2/0x4c0 do_filp_open+0x4b/0xb0 do_sys_open+0xf3/0x1f0 SyS_open+0x1e/0x20 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The problem occurs as follows: When calling e820_reserve_resources(), firmware_map_entrys of all e820 memory map are allocated. And all firmware_map_entrys is added map_entries list as follows: map_entries -> +--- entry A --------+ -> ... | start 0x407ffffffff| | end 0x40000000000| | type System RAM | +--------------------+ After that, if ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80 and the memory range is limited by mem=, the PNP0C80 is hot-added. Then firmware_map_entry of PNP0C80 is allocated and added map_entries list as follows: map_entries -> +--- entry A --------+ -> ... -> +--- entry B --------+ | start 0x407ffffffff| | start 0x407ffffffff| | end 0x40000000000| | end 0x40000000000| | type System RAM | | type System RAM | +--------------------+ +--------------------+ Then memmap 0 sysfs for entry B is created. After that, firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of all firmware_map_entrys in map_entries list. As a result, memmap 33 sysfs for entry A and memmap 35 sysfs for entry B are created. But kobject of entry B has been used by memmap 0 sysfs. So when creating memmap 35 sysfs, the kobject is broken. If hot-removing memory, memmap 0 sysfs is destroyed and kobject of memmap 0 sysfs is freed. But the kobject can be accessed via memmap 35 sysfs. So when open memmap 35 sysfs, kernel panic occurs. This patch checks whether there is firmware_map_entry of same memory range in map_entries list and don't allocate firmware_map_entry of same memroy range.

firmware_map_add_hotplug() calls firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem() to get free firmware_map_entry. But end arguments is not correct. So firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem() cannot not find firmware_map_entry. The patch passes the correct end argument to firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem(). Signed-off-by:

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument, and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages + nr_mappped_pages). It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area(). The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether map_vm_area() fails or not. This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates its callers accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Commit 71e3aac0 ("thp: transparent hugepage core") adds copy_pte_range prototype to huge_mm.h. I'm not sure why (or if) this function have been used outside of memory.c, but it currently isn't. This patch makes copy_pte_range() static again. Signed-off-by:
