__vma_link_file and expand_downwards functions are not small, yeat they are marked inline. They probably had one callsite sometime in the past, but now they have more. In order to prevent similar thing, I also deinlined expand_upwards, despite it having only pne callsite. Nowadays gcc auto-inlines such static functions anyway. In find_extend_vma, I removed one extra level of indirection. Patch is deliberately generated with -U $BIGNUM to make it easier to see that functions are big.

Setting and clearing the page locked when inserting it into swapcache / pagecache when it has no other references can use non-atomic page flags operations because no other CPU may be operating on it at this time. This saves one atomic operation when inserting a page into pagecache. Signed-off-by:

Rework Posix error return for mlock(). Posix requires error code for mlock*() system calls for some conditions that differ from what kernel low level functions, such as get_user_pages(), return for those conditions. For more info, see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121750892930775&w=2 This patch provides the same translation of get_user_pages() error codes to posix specified error codes in the context of the mlock rework for unevictable lru.

During each reclaim scan we accumulate scan pressure on unrelated lists which will result in bogus scans and unwanted reclaims eventually. Scanning lists with few reclaim candidates results in a lot of rotation and therefor also disturbs the list balancing, putting even more pressure on the wrong lists. In a test-case with much streaming IO, and therefor a crowded inactive file page list, swapping started because a) anon pages were reclaimed after swap_cluster_max reclaim invocations -- nr_scan of this list has just accumulated b) active file pages were scanned because *their* nr_scan has also accumulated through the same logic. And this in return created a lot of rotation for file pages and resulted in a decrease of file list priority, again increasing the pressure on anon pages. The result was an evicted working set of anon pages while there were tons of inactive file pages that should have been taken instead. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a function to scan individual or all zones' unevictable lists and move any pages that have become evictable onto the respective zone's inactive list, where shrink_inactive_list() will deal with them. Adds sysctl to scan all nodes, and per node attributes to individual nodes' zones.

In the fault paths that install new anonymous pages, check whether the page is evictable or not using lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable(). If the page is evictable, just add it to the active lru list [via the pagevec cache], else add it to the unevictable list. This "proactive" culling in the fault path mimics the handling of mlocked pages in Nick Piggin's series to keep mlocked pages off the lru lists. Notes: 1) This patch is optional--e.g., if one is concerned about the additional test in the fault path. We can defer the moving of nonreclaimable pages until when vmscan [shrink_*_list()] encounters them. Vmscan will only need to handle such pages once, but if there are a lot of them it could impact system performance. 2) The 'vma' argument to page_evictable() is require to notice that we're faulting a page into an mlock()ed vma w/o having to scan the page's rmap in the fault path. Culling mlock()ed anon pages is currently the only reason for this patch. 3) We can't cull swap pages in read_swap_cache_async() because the vma argument doesn't necessarily correspond to the swap cache offset passed in by swapin_readahead(). This could [did!] result in mlocking pages in non-VM_LOCKED vmas if [when] we tried to cull in this path. 4) Move set_pte_at() to after where we add page to lru to keep it hidden from other tasks that might walk the page table. We already do it in this order in do_anonymous() page. And, these are COW'd anon pages. Is this safe? [riel@redhat.com: undo an overzealous code cleanup] Signed-off-by:

We need to hold the mmap_sem for write to initiatate mlock()/munlock() because we may need to merge/split vmas. However, this can lead to very long lock hold times attempting to fault in a large memory region to mlock it into memory. This can hold off other faults against the mm [multithreaded tasks] and other scans of the mm, such as via /proc. To alleviate this, downgrade the mmap_sem to read mode during the population of the region for locking. This is especially the case if we need to reclaim memory to lock down the region. We [probably?] don't need to do this for unlocking as all of the pages should be resident--they're already mlocked. Now, the caller's of the mlock functions [mlock_fixup() and mlock_vma_pages_range()] expect the mmap_sem to be returned in write mode. Changing all callers appears to be way too much effort at this point. So, restore write mode before returning. Note that this opens a window where the mmap list could change in a multithreaded process. So, at least for mlock_fixup(), where we could be called in a loop over multiple vmas, we check that a vma still exists at the start address and that vma still covers the page range [start,end). If not, we return an error, -EAGAIN, and let the caller deal with it. Return -EAGAIN from mlock_vma_pages_range() function and mlock_fixup() if the vma at 'start' disappears or changes so that the page range [start,end) is no longer contained in the vma. Again, let the caller deal with it. Looks like only sys_remap_file_pages() [via mmap_region()] should actually care. With this patch, I no longer see processes like ps(1) blocked for seconds or minutes at a time waiting for a large [multiple gigabyte] region to be locked down. However, I occassionally see delays while unlocking or unmapping a large mlocked region. Should we also downgrade the mmap_sem for the unlock path? Signed-off-by:

Nick Piggin authored
Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive. Original mm/internal.h, mm/rmap.c and mm/mlock.c changes: Signed-off-by:

Shmem segments locked into memory via shmctl(SHM_LOCKED) should not be kept on the normal LRU, since scanning them is a waste of time and might throw off kswapd's balancing algorithms. Place them on the unevictable LRU list instead. Use the AS_UNEVICTABLE flag to mark address_space of SHM_LOCKed shared memory regions as unevictable. Then these pages will be culled off the normal LRU lists during vmscan. Add new wrapper function to clear the mapping's unevictable state when/if shared memory segment is munlocked. Add 'scan_mapping_unevictable_page()' to mm/vmscan.c to scan all pages in the shmem segment's mapping [struct address_space] for evictability now that they're no longer locked. If so, move them to the appropriate zone lru list. Changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU. [kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com: revert shm change] Signed-off-by:

Christoph Lameter pointed out that ram disk pages also clutter the LRU lists. When vmscan finds them dirty and tries to clean them, the ram disk writeback function just redirties the page so that it goes back onto the active list. Round and round she goes... With the ram disk driver [rd.c] replaced by the newer 'brd.c', this is no longer the case, as ram disk pages are no longer maintained on the lru. [This makes them unmigratable for defrag or memory hot remove, but that can be addressed by a separate patch series.] However, the ramfs pages behave like ram disk pages used to, so: Define new address_space flag [shares address_space flags member with mapping's gfp mask] to indicate that the address space contains all unevictable pages. This will provide for efficient testing of ramfs pages in page_evictable(). Also provide wrapper functions to set/test the unevictable state to minimize #ifdefs in ramfs driver and any other users of this facility. Set the unevictable state on address_space structures for new ramfs inodes. Test the unevictable state in page_evictable() to cull unevictable pages. These changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

Fix to unevictable-lru-page-statistics.patch Add unevictable lru infrastructure vm events to the statistics patch. Rename the "NORECL_" and "noreclaim_" symbols and text strings to "UNEVICTABLE_" and "unevictable_", respectively. Currently, both the infrastructure and the mlocked pages event are added by a single patch later in the series. This makes it difficult to add or rework the incremental patches. The events actually "belong" with the stats, so pull them up to here. Also, restore the event counting to putback_lru_page(). This was removed from previous patch in series where it was "misplaced". The actual events weren't defined that early. Signed-off-by:

When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages, the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required, resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour. Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide" them from vmscan. Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable lru list. Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set. Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on. The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU. A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various !evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path. To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state, the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()' -- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable, putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the unevictable list.

During an AIM7 run on a 16GB system, fork started failing around 32000 threads, despite the system having plenty of free swap and 15GB of pageable memory. This was on x86-64, so 8k stacks. If a higher order allocation fails, we can either: - keep evicting pages off the end of the LRUs and hope that we eventually create a contiguous region; this is somewhat unlikely if the system is under enough stress by new allocations - after trying normal eviction for a bit, use lumpy reclaim This patch switches the system to lumpy reclaim if the VM is having trouble freeing enough pages, using the same threshold for detection as used by pageout congestion wait.

Swapin_readahead can read in a lot of data that the processes in memory never need. Adding swap cache pages to the inactive list prevents them from putting too much pressure on the working set. This has the potential to help the programs that are already in memory, but it could also be a disadvantage to processes that are trying to get swapped in. Signed-off-by:

Moving referenced pages back to the head of the active list creates a huge scalability problem, because by the time a large memory system finally runs out of free memory, every single page in the system will have been referenced. Not only do we not have the time to scan every single page on the active list, but since they have will all have the referenced bit set, that bit conveys no useful information. A more scalable solution is to just move every page that hits the end of the active list to the inactive list. We clear the referenced bit off of mapped pages, which need just one reference to be moved back onto the active list. Unmapped pages will be moved back to the active list after two references (see mark_page_accessed). We preserve the PG_referenced flag on unmapped pages to preserve accesses that were made while the page was on the active list. Signed-off-by:

We avoid evicting and scanning anonymous pages for the most part, but under some workloads we can end up with most of memory filled with anonymous pages. At that point, we suddenly need to clear the referenced bits on all of memory, which can take ages on very large memory systems. We can reduce the maximum number of pages that need to be scanned by not taking the referenced state into account when deactivating an anonymous page. After all, every anonymous page starts out referenced, so why check? If an anonymous page gets referenced again before it reaches the end of the inactive list, we move it back to the active list. To keep the maximum amount of necessary work reasonable, we scale the active to inactive ratio with the size of memory, using the formula active:inactive ratio = sqrt(memory in GB * 10). Kswapd CPU use now seems to scale by the amount of pageout bandwidth, instead of by the amount of memory present in the system.

Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

Define page_file_cache() function to answer the question: is page backed by a file? Originally part of Rik van Riel's split-lru patch. Extracted to make available for other, independent reclaim patches. Moved inline function to linux/mm_inline.h where it will be needed by subsequent "split LRU" and "noreclaim" patches. Unfortunately this needs to use a page flag, since the PG_swapbacked state needs to be preserved all the way to the point where the page is last removed from the LRU. Trying to derive the status from other info in the page resulted in wrong VM statistics in earlier split VM patchsets. The total number of page flags in use on a 32 bit machine after this patch is 19.

On large memory systems, the VM can spend way too much time scanning through pages that it cannot (or should not) evict from memory. Not only does it use up CPU time, but it also provokes lock contention and can leave large systems under memory presure in a catatonic state. This patch series improves VM scalability by: 1) putting filesystem backed, swap backed and unevictable pages onto their own LRUs, so the system only scans the pages that it can/should evict from memory 2) switching to two handed clock replacement for the anonymous LRUs, so the number of pages that need to be scanned when the system starts swapping is bound to a reasonable number 3) keeping unevictable pages off the LRU completely, so the VM does not waste CPU time scanning them. ramfs, ramdisk, SHM_LOCKED shared memory segments and mlock()ed VMA pages are keept on the unevictable list. This patch: isolate_lru_page logically belongs to be in vmscan.c than migrate.c. It is tough, because we don't need that function without memory migration so there is a valid argument to have it in migrate.c. However a subsequent patch needs to make use of it in the core mm, so we can happily move it to vmscan.c. Also, make the function a little more generic by not requiring that it adds an isolated page to a given list. Callers can do that. Note that we now have '__isolate_lru_page()', that does something quite different, visible outside of vmscan.c for use with memory controller. Methinks we need to rationalize these names/purposes. --lts [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mm/memory_hotplug.c build] Signed-off-by:

The anon_vma code is very subtle, and we end up doing optimistic lookups of anon_vmas under RCU in page_lock_anon_vma() with no locking. Other CPU's can also see the newly allocated entry immediately after we've exposed it by setting "vma->anon_vma" to the new value. We protect against the anon_vma being destroyed by having the SLAB marked as SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, so the RCU lookup can depend on the allocation not being destroyed - but it might still be free'd and re-allocated here to a new vma. As a result, we should not do the anon_vma list ops on a newly allocated vma without proper locking. Acked-by:
