Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64. No machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are still supported, we don't optimise for them any more.

The "third double word block" isn't on 32-bit systems. The layout looks like this: unsigned long flags; struct address_space *mapping pgoff_t index; atomic_t _mapcount; atomic_t _refcount; which is 32 bytes on 64-bit, but 20 bytes on 32-bit. Nobody is trying to use the fact that it's double-word aligned today, so just remove the misleading claims. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171220155552.15884-4-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout rather confusing. Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this. The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to be in the outermost union with 'counters'. That leaves us with struct { union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout, but is easier to read. Output from the current git version of pahole, diffed with -uw to ignore the whitespace changes from the indentation: }; /* 16 8 */ union { long unsigned int counters; /* 24 8 */ - struct { - union { - atomic_t _mapcount; /* 24 4 */ unsigned int active; /* 24 4 */ struct { unsigned int inuse:16; /* 24:16 4 */ @@ -21,7 +18,8 @@ unsigned int frozen:1; /* 24: 0 4 */ }; /* 24 4 */ int units; /* 24 4 */ - }; /* 24 4 */ + struct { + atomic_t _mapcount; /* 24 4 */ atomic_t _refcount; /* 28 4 */ }; /* 24 8 */ }; /* 24 8 */ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171220155552.15884-3-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by: -

Patch series "Restructure struct page", v2. This series does not attempt any grand restructuring. Instead, it cures the worst of the indentitis, fixes the documentation and reduces the ifdeffery. The only layout change is compound_dtor and compound_order are each reduced to one byte. This patch (of 8): Instead of an ifdef block at the end of the struct, which needed its own comment, define _struct_page_alignment up at the top where it fits nicely with the existing comment.

Commit 4d4bbd85 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers registered. The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not be possible without reaping. That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks. This patch adds a "flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that these callbacks do not block. The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as after the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom victim.

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before scanning an mm. But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in uninterruptible state. But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the below khugepaged hung issue: INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Tainted: G E 4.9.65-006.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. khugepaged D 0 270 2 0x00000000 ffff883f3deae4c0 0000000000000000 ffff883f610596c0 ffff883f7d359440 ffff883f63818000 ffffc90019adfc78 ffffffff817079a5 d67e5aa8c1860a64 0000000000000246 ffff883f7d359440 ffffc90019adfc88 ffff883f610596c0 Call Trace: schedule+0x36/0x80 rwsem_down_read_failed+0xf0/0x150 call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x18/0x30 down_read+0x20/0x40 khugepaged+0x476/0x11d0 kthread+0xe6/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30 So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so that other processes can get more chances to install THP. Then khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the current round full_scan. And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a little bit.

Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but before set_pmd_at(). The patch change pmdp_invalidate() to make the entry non-present atomically and return previous value of the entry. This value can be used to check if CPU set dirty/accessed bits under us. The race window is very small and I haven't seen any reports that can be attributed to the bug. For this reason, I don't think backporting to stable trees needed.

We need an atomic way to setup pmd page table entry, avoiding races with CPU setting dirty/accessed bits. This is required to implement pmdp_invalidate() that doesn't lose these bits.

Patch series "Do not lose dirty bit on THP pages", v4. Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but before set_pmd_at(). The bug can lead to data loss, but the race window is tiny and I haven't seen any reports that suggested that it happens in reality. So I don't think it worth sending it to stable. Unfortunately, there's no way to address the issue in a generic way. We need to fix all architectures that support THP one-by-one. All architectures that have THP supported have to provide atomic pmdp_invalidate() that returns previous value. If generic implementation of pmdp_invalidate() is used, architecture needs to provide atomic pmdp_estabish(). pmdp_estabish() is not used out-side generic implementation of pmdp_invalidate() so far, but I think this can change in the future. This patch (of 12): This is an implementation of pmdp_establish() that is only suitable for an architecture that doesn't have hardware dirty/accessed bits. In this case we can't race with CPU which sets these bits and non-atomic approach is fine. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171213105756.69879-2-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by:

We don't have to use an entire 'long' for the number of elements in the pagevec; we know it's a number between 0 and 14 (now 15). So we can store it in a char, and then the bool packs next to it and we still have two or six bytes of padding for more elements in the header. That gives us space to cram in an extra page.

Several users of unmap_mapping_range() would prefer to express their range in pages rather than bytes. Unfortuately, on a 32-bit kernel, you have to remember to cast your page number to a 64-bit type before shifting it, and four places in the current tree didn't remember to do that. That's a sign of a bad interface. Conveniently, unmap_mapping_range() actually converts from bytes into pages, so hoist the guts of unmap_mapping_range() into a new function unmap_mapping_pages() and convert the callers which want to use pages.

If THP migration is enabled, for a VMA handled by userfaultfd, consider the following situation, do_page_fault() __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() handle_userfault() userfault_msg() /* a huge page is allocated and mapped at fault address */ /* the huge page is under migration, leaves migration entry in page table */ userfaultfd_must_wait() /* return true because !pmd_present() */ /* may wait in loop until fatal signal */ That is, it may be possible for userfaultfd_must_wait() encounters a PMD entry which is !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(). In the current implementation, we will wait for such PMD entries, which may cause unnecessary waiting, and potential soft lockup. This is fixed via avoiding to wait when !pmd_none() && !pmd_present(), only wait when pmd_none(). This may be not a problem in practice, because userfaultfd_must_wait() is always called with mm->mmap_sem read-locked. mremap() will write-lock mm->mmap_sem. And UFFDIO_COPY doesn't support to copy THP mapping. But the change introduced still makes the code more correct, and makes the PMD and PTE code more consistent.

Now their sum will be always equal to mm->exec_vm which sums size of executable and not writable and not stack areas. I've seen this for huge (>2Gb) statically linked binary which has whole world inside. For it start_code .. end_code range also covers one of rodata sections.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf03 ("Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time. It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was acceptable to use the zone back then. Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory. Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow movable zones. Mel said: : Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with : the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of : which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory : useless pinned in the huge pages pool. : : I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of : huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option : should be ok.

Architectures like PPC64 support mmap hint address based large address space selection. This test can be run on those architectures too. Move the test from the x86 selftests to selftest/vm so that other architectures can use it too. We also add a few new test scenarios in this patch. We do test a few boundary conditions before we do a high address mmap. PPC64 uses the address limit to validate the address in the fault path. We had bugs in this area w.r.t SLB fault handling before we updated the addess limit. We also touch the allocated space to make sure we don't have any bugs in the fault handling path.

Shakeel Butt reported he has observed in production systems that the job loader gets stuck for 10s of seconds while doing a mount operation. It turns out that it was stuck in register_shrinker() because some unrelated job was under memory pressure and was spending time in shrink_slab(). Machines have a lot of shrinkers registered and jobs under memory pressure have to traverse all of those memcg-aware shrinkers and affect unrelated jobs which want to register their own shrinkers. To solve the issue, this patch simply bails out slab shrinking if it is found that someone wants to register a shrinker in parallel. A downside is it could cause unfair shrinking between shrinkers. However, it should be rare and we can add compilcated logic if we find it's not enough.

__get_free_pages() will return a virtual address, but it is not just a 32-bit address, for example on a 64-bit system. And this comment really confuses new readers of mm. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1511780964-64864-1-git-send-email-chenjiankang1@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost cgroups pinned by lingering page cache. Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this: nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128 CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale. Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters. This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to the shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat counters are implemented. Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for decisions inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the allocator). Neither is true for the memory controller. Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.
