p->ptrace != 0 means that release_task(p) was not called, so pid_alive() buys nothing and we can remove this check. Other callers already use it directly without additional checks. Note: with or without this patch ptrace_parent() can return the pointer to the freed task, this will be explained/fixed later. Signed-off-by:

task_state() does seq_printf() under rcu_read_lock(), but this is only needed for task_tgid_nr_ns() and task_numa_group_id(). We can calculate tgid/ngid and drop rcu lock. Signed-off-by:

1. The usage of fdt looks very ugly, it can't be NULL if ->files is not NULL. We can use "unsigned int max_fds" instead. 2. This also allows to move seq_printf(max_fds) outside of task_lock() and join it with the previous seq_printf(). See also the next patch. Signed-off-by:

task_state() reads cred->group_info under task_lock() because a long ago it was task_struct->group_info and it was actually protected by task->alloc_lock. Today this task_unlock() after rcu_read_unlock() just adds the confusion, move task_unlock() up. Signed-off-by:

When a lot of netdevices are created, one of the bottleneck is the creation of proc entries. This serie aims to accelerate this part. The current implementation for the directories in /proc is using a single linked list. This is slow when handling directories with large numbers of entries (eg netdevice-related entries when lots of tunnels are opened). This patch replaces this linked list by a red-black tree. Here are some numbers: dummy30000.batch contains 30 000 times 'link add type dummy'. Before the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m31.950s user 0m0.440s sys 2m21.440s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m35.764s user 0m0.000s sys 1m24.088s After the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m0.874s user 0m0.448s sys 1m49.720s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m13.988s user 0m0.000s sys 1m1.008s The idea of improving this part was suggested by Thierry Herbelot.

Memory cgroups used to have 5 per-page pointers. To allow users to disable that amount of overhead during runtime, those pointers were allocated in a separate array, with a translation layer between them and struct page. There is now only one page pointer remaining: the memcg pointer, that indicates which cgroup the page is associated with when charged. The complexity of runtime allocation and the runtime translation overhead is no longer justified to save that *potential* 0.19% of memory. With CONFIG_SLUB, page->mem_cgroup actually sits in the doubleword padding after the page->private member and doesn't even increase struct page, and then this patch actually saves space. Remaining users that care can still compile their kernels without CONFIG_MEMCG. text data bss dec hex filename 8828345 1725264 983040 11536649 b00909 vmlinux.old 8827425 1725264 966656 11519345 afc571 vmlinux.new [mhocko@suse.cz: update Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt] Signed-off-by:Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

Since commit d7365e78 ("mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback page accounting") mem_cgroup_end_page_stat consumes locked and flags variables directly rather than via pointers which might trigger C undefined behavior as those variables are initialized only in the slow path of mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat. Although mem_cgroup_end_page_stat handles parameters correctly and touches them only when they hold a sensible value it is caller which loads a potentially uninitialized value which then might allow compiler to do crazy things. I haven't seen any warning from gcc and it seems that the current version (4.9) doesn't exploit this type undefined behavior but Sasha has reported the following: UBSan: Undefined behaviour in mm/rmap.c:1084:2 load of value 255 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' CPU: 4 PID: 8304 Comm: rngd Not tainted 3.18.0-rc2-next-20141029-sasha-00039-g77ed13d-dirty #1427 Call Trace: dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52) ubsan_epilogue (lib/ubsan.c:159) __ubsan_handle_load_invalid_value (lib/ubsan.c:482) page_remove_rmap (mm/rmap.c:1084 mm/rmap.c:1096) unmap_page_range (./arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:27 include/linux/mm.h:463 mm/memory.c:1146 mm/memory.c:1258 mm/memory.c:1279 mm/memory.c:1303) unmap_single_vma (mm/memory.c:1348) unmap_vmas (mm/memory.c:1377 (discriminator 3)) exit_mmap (mm/mmap.c:2837) mmput (kernel/fork.c:659) do_exit (./arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:168 kernel/exit.c:462 kernel/exit.c:747) do_group_exit (include/linux/sched.h:775 kernel/exit.c:873) SyS_exit_group (kernel/exit.c:901) tracesys_phase2 (arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:529) Fix this by using pointer parameters for both locked and flags and be more robust for future compiler changes even though the current code is implemented correctly.

As a small zero page, huge zero page should not be accounted in smaps report as normal page. For small pages we rely on vm_normal_page() to filter out zero page, but vm_normal_page() is not designed to handle pmds. We only get here due hackish cast pmd to pte in smaps_pte_range() -- pte and pmd format is not necessary compatible on each and every architecture. Let's add separate codepath to handle pmds. follow_trans_huge_pmd() will detect huge zero page for us. We would need pmd_dirty() helper to do this properly. The patch adds it to THP-enabled architectures which don't yet have one. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use do_div to fix 32-bit build] Signed-off-by:

The NULL in mm_match_cgroup() comes from a possibly exiting mm->owner. It makes a lot more sense to check where it's looked up, rather than check for it in __mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree() where it's unexpected. No other callsite passes NULL to __mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree(). Signed-off-by:

While moving charges from one memcg to another, page stat updates must acquire the old memcg's move_lock to prevent double accounting. That situation is denoted by an increased memcg->move_accounting. However, the charge moving code declares this way too early for now, even before summing up the RSS and pre-allocating destination charges. Shorten this slowpath mode by increasing memcg->move_accounting only right before walking the task's address space with the intention of actually moving the pages. Signed-off-by:

Let's use generic slab_start/next/stop for showing memcg caches info. In contrast to the current implementation, this will work even if all memcg caches' info doesn't fit into a seq buffer (a page), plus it simply looks neater. Actually, the main reason I do this isn't mere cleanup. I'm going to zap the memcg_slab_caches list, because I find it useless provided we have the slab_caches list, and this patch is a step in this direction. It should be noted that before this patch an attempt to read memory.kmem.slabinfo of a cgroup that doesn't have kmem limit set resulted in -EIO, while after this patch it will silently show nothing except the header, but I don't think it will frustrate anyone.

mem_cgroup_reclaimable() checks whether a cgroup has reclaimable pages on *any* NUMA node. However, the only place where it's called is mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim(), which tries to reclaim memory from a *specific* zone. So the way it is used is incorrect - it will return true even if the cgroup doesn't have pages on the zone we're scanning. I think we can get rid of this check completely, because mem_cgroup_shrink_node_zone(), which is called by mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim() if mem_cgroup_reclaimable() returns true, is equivalent to shrink_lruvec(), which exits almost immediately if the lruvec passed to it is empty. So there's no need to optimize anything here. Besides, we don't have such a check in the general scan path (shrink_zone) either. Signed-off-by:

pc->mem_cgroup had to be left intact after uncharge for the final LRU removal, and !PCG_USED indicated whether the page was uncharged. But since commit 0a31bc97 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") pages are uncharged after the final LRU removal. Uncharge can simply clear the pointer and the PCG_USED/PageCgroupUsed sites can test that instead. Because this is the last page_cgroup flag, this patch reduces the memcg per-page overhead to a single pointer.

PCG_MEM is a remnant from an earlier version of 0a31bc97 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API"), used to tell whether migration cleared a charge while leaving pc->mem_cgroup valid and PCG_USED set.

This series gets rid of the remaining page_cgroup flags, thus cutting the memcg per-page overhead down to one pointer. This patch (of 4): mem_cgroup_swapout() is called with exclusive access to the page at the end of the page's lifetime. Instead of clearing the PCG_MEMSW flag and deferring the uncharge, just do it right away. This allows follow-up patches to simplify the uncharge code. Signed-off-by:

Johannes Weiner authored
Commit 7512102c ("memcg: fix GPF when cgroup removal races with last exit") added a pc->mem_cgroup reset into mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() to prevent a crash where an anon page gets uncharged on unmap, the memcg is released, and then the final LRU isolation on free dereferences the stale pc->mem_cgroup pointer. But since commit 0a31bc97 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API"), pages are only uncharged AFTER that final LRU isolation, which guarantees the memcg's lifetime until then. pc->mem_cgroup now only needs to be reset for swapcache readahead pages. Update the comment and callsite requirements accordingly. Signed-off-by:

If we fail to reclaim anything from a cgroup during a soft reclaim pass we want to get the next largest cgroup exceeding its soft limit.

The goal of memory compaction is to create high-order freepages through page migration. Page migration however puts pages on the per-cpu lru_add cache, which is later flushed to per-cpu pcplists, and only after pcplists are drained the pages can actually merge. This can happen due to the per-cpu caches becoming full through further freeing, or explicitly. During direct compaction, it is useful to do the draining explicitly so that pages merge as soon as possible and compaction can detect success immediately and keep the latency impact at minimum. However the current implementation is far from ideal. Draining is done only in __alloc_pages_direct_compact(), after all zones were already compacted, and the decisions to continue or stop compaction in individual zones was done without the last batch of migrations being merged. It is also missing the draining of lru_add cache before the pcplists. This patch moves the draining for direct compaction into compact_zone(). It adds the missing lru_cache draining and uses the newly introduced single zone pcplists draining to reduce overhead and avoid impact on unrelated zones. Draining is only performed when it can actually lead to merging of a page of desired order (passed by cc->order). This means it is only done when migration occurred in the previously scanned cc->order aligned block(s) and the migration scanner is now pointing to the next cc->order aligned block. The patch has been tested with stress-highalloc benchmark from mmtests. Although overal allocation success rates of the benchmark were not affected, the number of detected compaction successes has doubled. This suggests that allocations were previously successful due to implicit merging caused by background activity, making a later allocation attempt succeed immediately, but not attributing the success to compaction. Since stress-highalloc always tries to allocate almost the whole memory, it cannot show the improvement in its reported success rate metric. However after this patch, compaction should detect success and terminate earlier, reducing the direct compaction latencies in a real scenario. Signed-off-by:

Compaction caches the migration and free scanner positions between compaction invocations, so that the whole zone gets eventually scanned and there is no bias towards the initial scanner positions at the beginning/end of the zone. The cached positions are continuously updated as scanners progress and the updating stops as soon as a page is successfully isolated. The reasoning behind this is that a pageblock where isolation succeeded is likely to succeed again in near future and it should be worth revisiting it. However, the downside is that potentially many pages are rescanned without successful isolation. At worst, there might be a page where isolation from LRU succeeds but migration fails (potentially always). So upon encountering this page, cached position would always stop being updated for no good reason. It might have been useful to let such page be rescanned with sync compaction after async one failed, but this is now handled by caching scanner position for async and sync mode separately since commit 35979ef3 ("mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn cache for async compaction"). After this patch, cached positions are updated unconditionally. In stress-highalloc benchmark, this has decreased the numbers of scanned pages by few percent, without affecting allocation success rates. To prevent free scanner from leaving free pages behind after they are returned due to page migration failure, the cached scanner pfn is changed to point to the pageblock of the returned free page with the highest pfn, before leaving compact_zone().

Deferred compaction is employed to avoid compacting zone where sync direct compaction has recently failed. As such, it makes sense to only defer when a full zone was scanned, which is when compact_zone returns with COMPACT_COMPLETE. It's less useful to defer when compact_zone returns with apparent success (COMPACT_PARTIAL), followed by a watermark check failure, which can happen due to parallel allocation activity. It also does not make much sense to defer compaction which was completely skipped (COMPACT_SKIP) for being unsuitable in the first place. This patch therefore makes deferred compaction trigger only when COMPACT_COMPLETE is returned from compact_zone(). Results of stress-highalloc becnmark show the difference is within measurement error, so the issue is rather cosmetic. Signed-off-by:
