Pull x86 irq entry updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course of the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in various ways. This reworks the X86 irq stack handling: - Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is not longer at an easy to find place. - Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call. - Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the interrupt stack for softirq handling. - A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got confused about the stack pointer manipulation" * tag 'x86-entry-2021-02-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: objtool: Fix stack-swizzle for FRAME_POINTER=y um: Enforce the usage of asm-generic/softirq_stack.h x86/softirq/64: Inline do_softirq_own_stack() softirq: Move do_softirq_own_stack() to generic asm header softirq: Move __ARCH_HAS_DO_SOFTIRQ to Kconfig x86: Select CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK x86/softirq: Remove indirection in do_softirq_own_stack() x86/entry: Use run_sysvec_on_irqstack_cond() for XEN upcall x86/entry: Convert device interrupts to inline stack switching x86/entry: Convert system vectors to irq stack macro x86/irq: Provide macro for inlining irq stack switching x86/apic: Split out spurious handling code x86/irq/64: Adjust the per CPU irq stack pointer by 8 x86/irq: Sanitize irq stack tracking x86/entry: Fix instrumentation annotation -

Matthew Wilcox noticed that hugetlbfs_set_page_dirty always returns 0. Instead, it should return 1 or 0 depending on the previous state of the dirty bit. In addition, the call to compound_head is redundant as it is also performed in calling routine set_page_dirty. Replace the hugetlbfs specific routine hugetlbfs_set_page_dirty with __set_page_dirty_no_writeback as it addresses both of these issues.

While reviewing a bug in hugetlb_reserve_pages, it was noticed that all callers ignore the return value. Any failure is considered an ENOMEM error by the callers. Change the function to be of type bool. The function will return true if the reservation was successful, false otherwise. Callers currently assume a zero return code indicates success. Change the callers to look for true to indicate success. No functional change, only code cleanup. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201221192542.15732-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

Now, NUMA balancing can only optimize the page placement among the NUMA nodes if the default memory policy is used. Because the memory policy specified explicitly should take precedence. But this seems too strict in some situations. For example, on a system with 4 NUMA nodes, if the memory of an application is bound to the node 0 and 1, NUMA balancing can potentially migrate the pages between the node 0 and 1 to reduce cross-node accessing without breaking the explicit memory binding policy. So in this patch, we add MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING mode flag to set_mempolicy() when mode is MPOL_BIND. With the flag specified, NUMA balancing will be enabled within the thread to optimize the page placement within the constrains of the specified memory binding policy. With the newly added flag, the NUMA balancing control mechanism becomes, - sysctl knob numa_balancing can enable/disable the NUMA balancing globally. - even if sysctl numa_balancing is enabled, the NUMA balancing will be disabled for the memory areas or applications with the explicit memory policy by default. - MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING can be used to enable the NUMA balancing for the applications when specifying the explicit memory policy (MPOL_BIND). Various page placement optimization based on the NUMA balancing can be done with these flags. As the first step, in this patch, if the memory of the application is bound to multiple nodes (MPOL_BIND), and in the hint page fault handler the accessing node are in the policy nodemask, the page will be tried to be migrated to the accessing node to reduce the cross-node accessing. If the newly added MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified by an application on an old kernel version without its support, set_mempolicy() will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL. The application can use this behavior to run on both old and new kernel versions. And if the MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified for the mode other than MPOL_BIND, set_mempolicy() will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL as before. Because we don't support optimization based on the NUMA balancing for these modes. In the previous version of the patch, we tried to reuse MPOL_MF_LAZY for mbind(). But that flag is tied to MPOL_MF_MOVE.*, so it seems not a good API/ABI for the purpose of the patch. And because it's not clear whether it's necessary to enable NUMA balancing for a specific memory area inside an application, so we only add the flag at the thread level (set_mempolicy()) instead of the memory area level (mbind()). We can do that when it become necessary. To test the patch, we run a test case as follows on a 4-node machine with 192 GB memory (48 GB per node). 1. Change pmbench memory accessing benchmark to call set_mempolicy() to bind its memory to node 1 and 3 and enable NUMA balancing. Some related code snippets are as follows, #include <numaif.h> #include <numa.h> struct bitmask *bmp; int ret; bmp = numa_parse_nodestring("1,3"); ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND | MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING, bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1); /* If MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING isn't supported, fall back to MPOL_BIND */ if (ret < 0 && errno == EINVAL) ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND, bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1); if (ret < 0) { perror("Failed to call set_mempolicy"); exit(-1); } 2. Run a memory eater on node 3 to use 40 GB memory before running pmbench. 3. Run pmbench with 64 processes, the working-set size of each process is 640 MB, so the total working-set size is 64 * 640 MB = 40 GB. The CPU and the memory (as in step 1.) of all pmbench processes is bound to node 1 and 3. So, after CPU usage is balanced, some pmbench processes run on the CPUs of the node 3 will access the memory of the node 1. 4. After the pmbench processes run for 100 seconds, kill the memory eater. Now it's possible for some pmbench processes to migrate their pages from node 1 to node 3 to reduce cross-node accessing. Test results show that, with the patch, the pages can be migrated from node 1 to node 3 after killing the memory eater, and the pmbench score can increase about 17.5%.

Compaction always operates on pages from a single given zone when isolating both pages to migrate and freepages. Pageblock boundaries are intersected with zone boundaries to be safe in case zone starts or ends in the middle of pageblock. The use of pageblock_pfn_to_page() protects against non-contiguous pageblocks. The functions fast_isolate_freepages() and fast_isolate_around() don't currently protect the fast freepage isolation thoroughly enough against these corner cases, and can result in freepage isolation operate outside of zone boundaries: - in fast_isolate_freepages() if we get a pfn from the first pageblock of a zone that starts in the middle of that pageblock, 'highest' can be a pfn outside of the zone. If we fail to isolate anything in this function, we may then call fast_isolate_around() on a pfn outside of the zone and there effectively do a set_pageblock_skip(page_to_pfn(highest)) which may currently hit a VM_BUG_ON() in some configurations - fast_isolate_around() checks only the zone end boundary and not beginning, nor that the pageblock is contiguous (with pageblock_pfn_to_page()) so it's possible that we end up calling isolate_freepages_block() on a range of pfn's from two different zones and end up e.g. isolating freepages under the wrong zone's lock. This patch should fix the above issues.

In the fast_find_migrateblock(), it iterates ocer the freelist to find the proper pageblock. But there are some misbehaviors. First, if the page we found is equal to cc->migrate_pfn, it is considered that we didn't find a suitable pageblock. Secondly, if the loop was terminated because order is less than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, it could be considered that we found a suitable one. Thirdly, if the skip bit is set on the page block and we goto continue, it doesn't check nr_scanned. Fourthly, if the page block's skip bit is set, it checks that page block is the last of list, which is unnecessary.

should_proactive_compact_node() returns true when sum of the weighted fragmentation score of all the zones in the node is greater than the wmark_high of compaction, which then triggers the proactive compaction that operates on the individual zones of the node. But proactive compaction runs on the zone only when its weighted fragmentation score is greater than wmark_low(=wmark_high - 10). This means that the sum of the weighted fragmentation scores of all the zones can exceed the wmark_high but individual weighted fragmentation zone scores can still be less than wmark_low which makes the unnecessary trigger of the proactive compaction only to return doing nothing. Issue with the return of proactive compaction with out even trying is its deferral. It is simply deferred for 1 << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT if the scores across the proactive compaction is same, thinking that compaction didn't make any progress but in reality it didn't even try. With the delay between successive retries for proactive compaction is 500msec, it can result into the deferral for ~30sec with out even trying the proactive compaction. Test scenario is that: compaction_proactiveness=50 thus the wmark_low = 50 and wmark_high = 60. System have 2 zones(Normal and Movable) with sizes 5GB and 6GB respectively. After opening some apps on the android, the weighted fragmentation scores of these zones are 47 and 49 respectively. Since the sum of these fragmentation scores are above the wmark_high which triggers the proactive compaction and there since the individual zones weighted fragmentation scores are below wmark_low, it returns without trying the proactive compaction. As a result the weighted fragmentation scores of the zones are still 47 and 49 which makes the existing logic to defer the compaction thinking that noprogress is made across the compaction. Fix this by checking just zone fragmentation score, not the weighted, in __compact_finished() and use the zones weighted fragmentation score in fragmentation_score_node(). In the test case above, If the weighted average of is above wmark_high, then individual score (not adjusted) of atleast one zone has to be above wmark_high. Thus it avoids the unnecessary trigger and deferrals of the proactive compaction. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1610989938-31374-1-git-send-email-charante@codeaurora.orgSigned-off-by:

I went to go add a new RECLAIM_* mode for the zone_reclaim_mode sysctl. Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the documentation. I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't match the bits in the #defines. The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit. The bit is, however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'. The RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup. That, by itself is fine. But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got changed. That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean one specific thing. Users surely do not expect the meaning to change from kernel to kernel. The end result is that if someone had a script that did: sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1 it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question. That's not great. Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like this is a bit harder to do again. Update the documentation to make it clear that the first bit is ignored.

Use the new hugetlb page specific flag HPageMigratable to replace the page_huge_active interfaces. By it's name, page_huge_active implied that a huge page was on the active list. However, that is not really what code checking the flag wanted to know. It really wanted to determine if the huge page could be migrated. This happens when the page is actually added to the page cache and/or task page table. This is the reasoning behind the name change. The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls in the *_huge_active() interfaces are not really necessary as we KNOW the page is a hugetlb page. Therefore, they are removed. The routine page_huge_active checked for PageHeadHuge before testing the active bit. This is unnecessary in the case where we hold a reference or lock and know it is a hugetlb head page. page_huge_active is also called without holding a reference or lock (scan_movable_pages), and can race with code freeing the page. The extra check in page_huge_active shortened the race window, but did not prevent the race. Offline code calling scan_movable_pages already deals with these races, so removing the check is acceptable. Add comment to racy code.

Patch series "create hugetlb flags to consolidate state", v3. While discussing a series of hugetlb fixes in [1], it became evident that the hugetlb specific page state information is stored in a somewhat haphazard manner. Code dealing with state information would be easier to read, understand and maintain if this information was stored in a consistent manner. This series uses page.private of the hugetlb head page for storing a set of hugetlb specific page flags. Routines are priovided for test, set and clear of the flags. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210106084739.63318-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com This patch (of 4): As hugetlbfs evolved, state information about hugetlb pages was added. One 'convenient' way of doing this was to use available fields in tail pages. Over time, it has become difficult to know the meaning or contents of fields simply by looking at a small bit of code. Sometimes, the naming is just confusing. For example: The PagePrivate flag indicates a huge page reservation was consumed and needs to be restored if an error is encountered and the page is freed before it is instantiated. The page.private field contains the pointer to a subpool if the page is associated with one. In an effort to make the code more readable, use page.private to contain hugetlb specific page flags. These flags will have test, set and clear functions similar to those used for 'normal' page flags. More importantly, an enum of flag values will be created with names that actually reflect their purpose. In this patch, - Create infrastructure for hugetlb specific page flag functions - Move subpool pointer to page[1].private to make way for flags Create routines with meaningful names to modify subpool field - Use new HPageRestoreReserve flag instead of PagePrivate Conversion of other state information will happen in subsequent patches.

The premise of the refault distance is that it can be seen as a deficit of the inactive list space, so that if the inactive list would have had (R - E) more slots, the page would not have been evicted but promoted to the active list instead. However, the way the code is ordered right now set us to be off by one, so the real number of slots would be (R - E) + 1. I stumbled upon this when trying to understand the code and it puzzled me that the comments did not match what the code did. This it not an issue at all since evictions and refaults tend to happen in a number large enough that being off-by-one does not have any impact - and since the compiler and CPUs are free to rearrange the execution sequence anyway. But as Johannes says, it is better to re-arrange the code in the proper order since otherwise would be misleading to somebody who is actively reading and trying to understand the logic of the code - like it happened to me.

Similar to page_off_lru(), the new function does non-atomic clearing of PageLRU() in addition to PageActive() and PageUnevictable(), on a page that has no references left. If PageActive() and PageUnevictable() are both set, refuse to clear either and leave them to bad_page(). This is a behavior change that is meant to help debug.

The parameter is redundant in the sense that it can be potentially extracted from the "struct page" parameter by page_lru(). We need to make sure that existing PageActive() or PageUnevictable() remains until the function returns. A few places don't conform, and simple reordering fixes them. This patch may have left page_off_lru() seemingly odd, and we'll take care of it in the next patch.

The "enum lru_list" parameter to add_page_to_lru_list() and add_page_to_lru_list_tail() is redundant in the sense that it can be extracted from the "struct page" parameter by page_lru(). A caveat is that we need to make sure PageActive() or PageUnevictable() is correctly set or cleared before calling these two functions. And they are indeed.
