Compaction can provide a wild variation of feedback to the caller. Many of them are implementation specific and the caller of the compaction (especially the page allocator) shouldn't be bound to specifics of the current implementation. This patch abstracts the feedback into three basic types: - compaction_made_progress - compaction was active and made some progress. - compaction_failed - compaction failed and further attempts to invoke it would most probably fail and therefore it is not worth retrying - compaction_withdrawn - compaction wasn't invoked for an implementation specific reasons. In the current implementation it means that the compaction was deferred, contended or the page scanners met too early without any progress. Retrying is still worthwhile.

__alloc_pages_direct_compact communicates potential back off by two variables: - deferred_compaction tells that the compaction returned COMPACT_DEFERRED - contended_compaction is set when there is a contention on zone->lock resp. zone->lru_lock locks __alloc_pages_slowpath then backs of for THP allocation requests to prevent from long stalls. This is rather messy and it would be much cleaner to return a single compact result value and hide all the nasty details into __alloc_pages_direct_compact. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by:

compaction_result will be used as the primary feedback channel for compaction users. At the same time try_to_compact_pages (and potentially others) assume a certain ordering where a more specific feedback takes precendence. This gets a bit awkward when we have conflicting feedback from different zones. E.g one returing COMPACT_COMPLETE meaning the full zone has been scanned without any outcome while other returns with COMPACT_PARTIAL aka made some progress. The caller should get COMPACT_PARTIAL because that means that the compaction still can make some progress. The same applies for COMPACT_PARTIAL vs COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED. Reorder PARTIAL to be the largest one so the larger the value is the more progress we have done. Signed-off-by:

COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met. This is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this feedback and make any decisions based on that. The current caller might be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted. Make sure we distinguish the full and partial zone walks. Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success and be optimistic in retrying. The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE with the new semantic. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by:

try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped in 99% of cases due to watermark checks. This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism. Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their ordering in the enum. This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be returned only when all eligible zones are skipped. As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim. Signed-off-by:

Compaction code is doing weird dances between COMPACT_FOO -> int -> unsigned long But there doesn't seem to be any reason for that. All functions which return/use one of those constants are not expecting any other value so it really makes sense to define an enum for them and make it clear that no other values are expected. This is a pure cleanup and shouldn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by:

Motivation: As pointed out by Linus [2][3] relying on zone_reclaimable as a way to communicate the reclaim progress is rater dubious. I tend to agree, not only it is really obscure, it is not hard to imagine cases where a single page freed in the loop keeps all the reclaimers looping without getting any progress because their gfp_mask wouldn't allow to get that page anyway (e.g. single GFP_ATOMIC alloc and free loop). This is rather rare so it doesn't happen in the practice but the current logic which we have is rather obscure and hard to follow a also non-deterministic. This is an attempt to make the OOM detection more deterministic and easier to follow because each reclaimer basically tracks its own progress which is implemented at the page allocator layer rather spread out between the allocator and the reclaim. The more on the implementation is described in the first patch. I have tested several different scenarios but it should be clear that testing OOM killer is quite hard to be representative. There is usually a tiny gap between almost OOM and full blown OOM which is often time sensitive. Anyway, I have tested the following 2 scenarios and I would appreciate if there are more to test. Testing environment: a virtual machine with 2G of RAM and 2CPUs without any swap to make the OOM more deterministic. 1) 2 writers (each doing dd with 4M blocks to an xfs partition with 1G file size, removes the files and starts over again) running in parallel for 10s to build up a lot of dirty pages when 100 parallel mem_eaters (anon private populated mmap which waits until it gets signal) with 80M each. This causes an OOM flood of course and I have compared both patched and unpatched kernels. The test is considered finished after there are no OOM conditions detected. This should tell us whether there are any excessive kills or some of them premature (e.g. due to dirty pages): I have performed two runs this time each after a fresh boot. * base kernel $ grep "Out of memory:" base-oom-run1.log | wc -l 78 $ grep "Out of memory:" base-oom-run2.log | wc -l 78 $ grep "Kill process" base-oom-run1.log | tail -n1 [ 91.391203] Out of memory: Kill process 3061 (mem_eater) score 39 or sacrifice child $ grep "Kill process" base-oom-run2.log | tail -n1 [ 82.141919] Out of memory: Kill process 3086 (mem_eater) score 39 or sacrifice child $ grep "DMA32 free:" base-oom-run1.log | sed 's@.*free:\([0-9]*\)kB.*@\1@' | calc_min_max.awk min: 5376.00 max: 6776.00 avg: 5530.75 std: 166.50 nr: 61 $ grep "DMA32 free:" base-oom-run2.log | sed 's@.*free:\([0-9]*\)kB.*@\1@' | calc_min_max.awk min: 5416.00 max: 5608.00 avg: 5514.15 std: 42.94 nr: 52 $ grep "DMA32.*all_unreclaimable? no" base-oom-run1.log | wc -l 1 $ grep "DMA32.*all_unreclaimable? no" base-oom-run2.log | wc -l 3 * patched kernel $ grep "Out of memory:" patched-oom-run1.log | wc -l 78 miso@tiehlicka /mnt/share/devel/miso/kvm $ grep "Out of memory:" patched-oom-run2.log | wc -l 77 e grep "Kill process" patched-oom-run1.log | tail -n1 [ 497.317732] Out of memory: Kill process 3108 (mem_eater) score 39 or sacrifice child $ grep "Kill process" patched-oom-run2.log | tail -n1 [ 316.169920] Out of memory: Kill process 3093 (mem_eater) score 39 or sacrifice child $ grep "DMA32 free:" patched-oom-run1.log | sed 's@.*free:\([0-9]*\)kB.*@\1@' | calc_min_max.awk min: 5420.00 max: 5808.00 avg: 5513.90 std: 60.45 nr: 78 $ grep "DMA32 free:" patched-oom-run2.log | sed 's@.*free:\([0-9]*\)kB.*@\1@' | calc_min_max.awk min: 5380.00 max: 6384.00 avg: 5520.94 std: 136.84 nr: 77 e grep "DMA32.*all_unreclaimable? no" patched-oom-run1.log | wc -l 2 $ grep "DMA32.*all_unreclaimable? no" patched-oom-run2.log | wc -l 3 The patched kernel run noticeably longer while invoking OOM killer same number of times. This means that the original implementation is much more aggressive and triggers the OOM killer sooner. free pages stats show that neither kernels went OOM too early most of the time, though. I guess the difference is in the backoff when retries without any progress do sleep for a while if there is memory under writeback or dirty which is highly likely considering the parallel IO. Both kernels have seen races where zone wasn't marked unreclaimable and we still hit the OOM killer. This is most likely a race where a task managed to exit between the last allocation attempt and the oom killer invocation. 2) 2 writers again with 10s of run and then 10 mem_eaters to consume as much memory as possible without triggering the OOM killer. This required a lot of tuning but I've considered 3 consecutive runs in three different boots without OOM as a success. * base kernel size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(16*1024)}' /proc/meminfo) * patched kernel size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(12*1024)}' /proc/meminfo) That means 40M more memory was usable without triggering OOM killer. The base kernel sometimes managed to handle the same as patched but it wasn't consistent and failed in at least on of the 3 runs. This seems like a minor improvement. I was testing also GPF_REPEAT costly requests (hughetlb) with fragmented memory and under memory pressure. The results are in patch 11 where the logic is implemented. In short I can see huge improvement there. I am certainly interested in other usecases as well as well as any feedback. Especially those which require higher order requests. This patch (of 14): While playing with the oom detection rework [1] I have noticed that my heavy order-9 (hugetlb) load close to OOM ended up in an endless loop where the reclaim hasn't made any progress but did_some_progress didn't reflect that and compaction_suitable was backing off because no zone is above low wmark + 1 << order. It turned out that this is in fact an old standing bug in compaction_ready which ignores the requested_highidx and did the watermark check for 0 classzone_idx. This succeeds for zone DMA most of the time as the zone is mostly unused because of lowmem protection. As a result costly high order allocatios always report a successfull progress even when there was none. This wasn't a problem so far because these allocations usually fail quite early or retry only few times with __GFP_REPEAT but this will change after later patch in this series so make sure to not lie about the progress and propagate requested_highidx down to compaction_ready and use it for both the watermak check and compaction_suitable to fix this issue.

The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages. The workingset refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the active list. With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system) dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc. This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page cache can currently be used to cache the database working set. This patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory. [hannes@cmpxchg.org: cgroup-awareness] Signed-off-by:

Andres observed that his database workload is struggling with the transaction journal creating pressure on frequently read pages. Access patterns like transaction journals frequently write the same pages over and over, but in the majority of cases those pages are never read back. There are no caching benefits to be had for those pages, so activating them and having them put pressure on pages that do benefit from caching is a bad choice. Leave page activations to read accesses and don't promote pages based on writes alone. It could be said that partially written pages do contain cache-worthy data, because even if *userspace* does not access the unwritten part, the kernel still has to read it from the filesystem for correctness. However, a counter argument is that these pages enjoy at least *some* protection over other inactive file pages through the writeback cache, in the sense that dirty pages are written back with a delay and cache reclaim leaves them alone until they have been written back to disk. Should that turn out to be insufficient and we see increased read IO from partial writes under memory pressure, we can always go back and update grab_cache_page_write_begin() to take (pos, len) so that it can tell partial writes from pages that don't need partial reads. But for now, keep it simple. Signed-off-by:

This is a follow-up to http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg101739.html where Andres reported his database workingset being pushed out by the minimum size enforcement of the inactive file list - currently 50% of cache - as well as repeatedly written file pages that are never actually read. Two changes fell out of the discussions. The first change observes that pages that are only ever written don't benefit from caching beyond what the writeback cache does for partial page writes, and so we shouldn't promote them to the active file list where they compete with pages whose cached data is actually accessed repeatedly. This change comes in two patches - one for in-cache write accesses and one for refaults triggered by writes, neither of which should promote a cache page. Second, with the refault detection we don't need to set 50% of the cache aside for used-once cache anymore since we can detect frequently used pages even when they are evicted between accesses. We can allow the active list to be bigger and thus protect a bigger workingset that isn't challenged by streamers. Depending on the access patterns, this can increase major faults during workingset transitions for better performance during stable phases. This patch (of 3): When rewriting a page, the data in that page is replaced with new data. This means that evicting something else from the active file list, in order to cache data that will be replaced by something else, is likely to be a waste of memory. It is better to save the active list for frequently read pages, because reads actually use the data that is in the page. This patch ignores partial writes, because it is unclear whether the complexity of identifying those is worth any potential performance gain obtained from better caching pages that see repeated partial writes at large enough intervals to not get caught by the use-twice promotion code used for the inactive file list.

The page allocator fast path uses either the requested nodemask or cpuset_current_mems_allowed if cpusets are enabled. If the allocation context allows watermarks to be ignored then it can also ignore memory policies. However, on entering the allocator slowpath the nodemask may still be cpuset_current_mems_allowed and the policies are enforced. This patch resets the nodemask appropriately before entering the slowpath. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160504143628.GU2858@techsingularity.netSigned-off-by:

Bad pages should be rare so the code handling them doesn't need to be inline for performance reasons. Put it to separate function which returns void. This also assumes that the initial page_expected_state() result will match the result of the thorough check, i.e. the page doesn't become "good" in the meanwhile. This matches the same expectations already in place in free_pages_check(). !DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 134/-274 (-140) function old new delta check_new_page_bad - 134 +134 get_page_from_freelist 3468 3194 -274 Signed-off-by:

The new free_pcp_prepare() function shares a lot of code with free_pages_prepare(), which makes this a maintenance risk when some future patch modifies only one of them. We should be able to achieve the same effect (skipping free_pages_check() from !DEBUG_VM configs) by adding a parameter to free_pages_prepare() and making it inline, so the checks (and the order != 0 parts) are eliminated from the call from free_pcp_prepare(). !DEBUG_VM: bloat-o-meter reports no difference, as my gcc was already inlining free_pages_prepare() and the elimination seems to work as expected DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 1035/-778 (257) function old new delta __free_pages_ok 297 1060 +763 free_hot_cold_page 480 752 +272 free_pages_prepare 778 - -778 Here inlining didn't occur before, and added some code, but it's ok for a debug option.

Every page allocated checks a number of page fields for validity. This catches corruption bugs of pages that are already freed but it is expensive. This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages only when the PCP lists are being refilled. All compound pages are checked. This potentially avoids debugging checks entirely if the PCP lists are never emptied and refilled so some corruption issues may be missed. Full checking requires DEBUG_VM.

Every page free checks a number of page fields for validity. This catches premature frees and corruptions but it is also expensive. This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages at the time they are drained from the PCP list. This will trigger the bug but the site that freed the corrupt page will be lost. To get the full context, a kernel rebuild with DEBUG_VM is necessary. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by:

An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be trivially allowed. But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate branching overhead with jump labels. This patch converts it so that static key is used properly. It's also switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are converted to return bool instead of int. We also provide a new variant __cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was already done and they key was enabled. This is needed for get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags. The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile. 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 multcheck-v1r20 cpuset-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 348.00 ( 0.00%) 348.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-2 254.00 ( 0.00%) 254.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4 213.00 ( 0.00%) 213.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-8 186.00 ( 0.00%) 183.00 ( 1.61%) Min alloc-odr0-16 173.00 ( 0.00%) 171.00 ( 1.16%) Min alloc-odr0-32 166.00 ( 0.00%) 163.00 ( 1.81%) Min alloc-odr0-64 162.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 1.85%) Min alloc-odr0-128 160.00 ( 0.00%) 157.00 ( 1.88%) Min alloc-odr0-256 169.00 ( 0.00%) 166.00 ( 1.78%) Min alloc-odr0-512 180.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 188.00 ( 0.00%) 187.00 ( 0.53%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 194.00 ( 0.00%) 193.00 ( 0.52%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 199.00 ( 0.00%) 198.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 202.00 ( 0.00%) 201.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 203.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 0.49%) Signed-off-by:Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
