lruvecs are at the intersection of the NUMA node and memcg, which is the scope for most paging activity. Introduce a convenient accounting infrastructure that maintains statistics per node, per memcg, and the lruvec itself. Then convert over accounting sites for statistics that are already tracked in both nodes and memcgs and can be easily switched.

Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats" Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API. I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his slab reclaim work on, so here goes. This patch (of 5): To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not the zone, and the memcg. We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels - which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore the per-zone counters.

To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing swap entry. The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch. During the batch freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be reduced greatly. But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the per-CPU buffer. To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap device before freeing the swap entries. With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6% (from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with 16 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.

Kmemleak requires that vmalloc'ed objects have a minimum reference count of 2: one in the corresponding vm_struct object and the other owned by the vmalloc() caller. There are cases, however, where the original vmalloc() returned pointer is lost and, instead, a pointer to vm_struct is stored (see free_thread_stack()). Kmemleak currently reports such objects as leaks. This patch adds support for treating any surplus references to an object as additional references to a specified object. It introduces the kmemleak_vmalloc() API function which takes a vm_struct pointer and sets its surplus reference passing to the actual vmalloc() returned pointer. The __vmalloc_node_range() calling site has been modified accordingly. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1495726937-23557-4-git-send-email-catalin.marinas@arm.comSigned-off-by:

Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced with a cpuset update. This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back to the wrappers to detect the race at that level. Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent further wrong impression that it can actually help.

When updating task's mems_allowed and rebinding its mempolicy due to cpuset's mems being changed, we currently only take the seqlock for writing when either the task has a mempolicy, or the new mems has no intersection with the old mems. This should be enough to prevent a parallel allocation seeing no available nodes, but the optimization is IMHO unnecessary (cpuset updates should not be frequent), and we still potentially risk issues if the intersection of new and old nodes has limited amount of free/reclaimable memory. Let's just use the seqlock for all tasks. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170517081140.30654-6-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Commit c0ff7453 ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") has introduced a two-step protocol when rebinding task's mempolicy due to cpuset update, in order to avoid a parallel allocation seeing an empty effective nodemask and failing. Later, commit cc9a6c87 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3") introduced a seqlock protection and removed the synchronization point between the two update steps. At that point (or perhaps later), the two-step rebinding became unnecessary. Currently it only makes sure that the update first adds new nodes in step 1 and then removes nodes in step 2. Without memory barriers the effects are questionable, and even then this cannot prevent a parallel zonelist iteration checking the nodemask at each step to observe all nodes as unusable for allocation. We now fully rely on the seqlock to prevent premature OOMs and allocation failures. We can thus remove the two-step update parts and simplify the code.

The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist pointer as one of its parameters. All of its callers directly or indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred node id and gfp_mask. We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter). There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined node_zonelist(): bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952) This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets to zonelists.

The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy. mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems. Currently it also tries to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask. This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma mempolicy, not task one. The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't manifested as an actual issue. We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation instead of the next id. Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

I would like to stress that this patchset aims to fix issues and cleanup the code *within the existing documented semantics*, i.e. patch 1 ignores mempolicy restrictions if the set of allowed nodes has no intersection with set of nodes allowed by cpuset. I believe discussing potential changes of the semantics can be better done once we have a baseline with no known bugs of the current semantics. I've recently summarized the cpuset/mempolicy issues in a LSF/MM proposal [1] and the discussion itself [2]. I've been trying to rewrite the handling as proposed, with the idea that changing semantics to make all mempolicies static wrt cpuset updates (and discarding the relative and default modes) can be tried on top, as there's a high risk of being rejected/reverted because somebody might still care about the removed modes. However I haven't yet figured out how to properly: 1) make mempolicies swappable instead of rebinding in place. I thought mbind() already works that way and uses refcounting to avoid use-after-free of the old policy by a parallel allocation, but turns out true refcounting is only done for shared (shmem) mempolicies, and the actual protection for mbind() comes from mmap_sem. Extending the refcounting means more overhead in allocator hot path. Also swapping whole mempolicies means that we have to allocate the new ones, which can fail, and reverting of the partially done work also means allocating (note that mbind() doesn't care and will just leave part of the range updated and part not updated when returning -ENOMEM...). 2) make cpuset's task->mems_allowed also swappable (after converting it from nodemask to zonelist, which is the easy part) for mostly the same reasons. The good news is that while trying to do the above, I've at least figured out how to hopefully close the remaining premature OOM's, and do a buch of cleanups on top, removing quite some of the code that was also supposed to prevent the cpuset update races, but doesn't work anymore nowadays. This should fix the most pressing concerns with this topic and give us a better baseline before either proceeding with the original proposal, or pushing a change of semantics that removes the problem 1) above. I'd be then fine with trying to change the semantic first and rewrite later. Patchset has been tested with the LTP cpuset01 stress test. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4c44a589-5fd8-08d0-892c-e893bb525b71@suse.cz [2] https://lwn.net/Articles/717797/ [3] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=149191957922828&w=2 This patch (of 6): Commit e47483bc ("mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems update") has fixed known recent regressions found by LTP's cpuset01 testcase. I have however found that by modifying the testcase to use per-vma mempolicies via bind(2) instead of per-task mempolicies via set_mempolicy(2), the premature OOM still happens and the issue is much older. The root of the problem is that the cpuset's mems_allowed and mempolicy's nodemask can temporarily have no intersection, thus get_page_from_freelist() cannot find any usable zone. The current semantic for empty intersection is to ignore mempolicy's nodemask and honour cpuset restrictions. This is checked in node_zonelist(), but the racy update can happen after we already passed the check. Such races should be protected by the seqlock task->mems_allowed_seq, but it doesn't work here, because 1) mpol_rebind_mm() does not happen under seqlock for write, and doing so would lead to deadlock, as it takes mmap_sem for write, while the allocation can have mmap_sem for read when it's taking the seqlock for read. And 2) the seqlock cookie of callers of node_zonelist() (alloc_pages_vma() and alloc_pages_current()) is different than the one of __alloc_pages_slowpath(), so there's still a potential race window. This patch fixes the issue by having __alloc_pages_slowpath() check for empty intersection of cpuset and ac->nodemask before OOM or allocation failure. If it's indeed empty, the nodemask is ignored and allocation retried, which mimics node_zonelist(). This works fine, because almost all callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask are obtaining the nodemask via node_zonelist(). The only exception is new_node_page() from hotplug, where the potential violation of nodemask isn't an issue, as there's already a fallback allocation attempt without any nodemask. If there's a future caller that needs to have its specific nodemask honoured over task's cpuset restrictions, we'll have to e.g. add a gfp flag for that.

set_huge_pte_at(), an architecture callback to populate hugepage ptes, does not provide the range of virtual memory that is targeted. This leads to ambiguity when dealing with swap entries on architectures that support hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes. Fix the problem by introducing an overridable helper that is called when populating the page tables with swap entries. The size of the targeted region is provided to the helper to help determine the number of entries to be updated. Provide a default implementation that maintains the current behaviour.

When unmapping a hugepage range, huge_pte_clear() is used to clear the page table entries that are marked as not present. huge_pte_clear() internally just ends up calling pte_clear() which does not correctly deal with hugepages consisting of contiguous page table entries. Add a size argument to address this issue and allow architectures to override huge_pte_clear() by wrapping it in a #ifndef block. Update s390 implementation with the size parameter as well. Note that the change only affects huge_pte_clear() - the other generic hugetlb functions don't need any change.

A poisoned or migrated hugepage is stored as a swap entry in the page tables. On architectures that support hugepages consisting of contiguous page table entries (such as on arm64) this leads to ambiguity in determining the page table entry to return in huge_pte_offset() when a poisoned entry is encountered. Let's remove the ambiguity by adding a size parameter to convey additional information about the requested address. Also fixup the definition/usage of huge_pte_offset() throughout the tree.

When speculatively taking references to a hugepage using page_cache_add_speculative() in gup_huge_pmd(), it is assumed that the page returned by pmd_page() is the head page. Although normally true, this assumption doesn't hold when the hugepage comprises of successive page table entries such as when using contiguous bit on arm64 at PTE or PMD levels. This can be addressed by ensuring that the page passed to page_cache_add_speculative() is the real head or by de-referencing the head page within the function. We take the first approach to keep the usage pattern aligned with page_cache_get_speculative() where users already pass the appropriate page, i.e., the de-referenced head. Apply the same logic to fix gup_huge_[pud|pgd]() as well.

Will Deacon authored
When operating on hugepages with DEBUG_VM enabled, the GUP code checks the compound head for each tail page prior to calling page_cache_add_speculative. This is broken, because on the fast-GUP path (where we don't hold any page table locks) we can be racing with a concurrent invocation of split_huge_page_to_list. split_huge_page_to_list deals with this race by using page_ref_freeze to freeze the page and force concurrent GUPs to fail whilst the component pages are modified. This modification includes clearing the compound_head field for the tail pages, so checking this prior to a successful call to page_cache_add_speculative can lead to false positives: In fact, page_cache_add_speculative *already* has this check once the page refcount has been successfully updated, so we can simply remove the broken calls to VM_BUG_ON_PAGE.

Patch series "Support for contiguous pte hugepages", v4. This patchset updates the hugetlb code to fix issues arising from contiguous pte hugepages (such as on arm64). Compared to v3, This version addresses a build failure on arm64 by including two cleanup patches. Other than the arm64 cleanups, the rest are generic code changes. The remaining arm64 support based on these patches will be posted separately. The patches are based on v4.12-rc2. Previous related postings can be found at [0], [1], [2], and [3]. The patches fall into three categories - * Patch 1-2 - arm64 cleanups required to greatly simplify changing huge_pte_offset() prototype in Patch 5. Catalin, Will - are you happy for these patches to go via mm? * Patches 3-4 address issues with gup * Patches 5-8 relate to passing a size argument to hugepage helpers to disambiguate the size of the referred page. These changes are required to enable arch code to properly handle swap entries for contiguous pte hugepages. The changes to huge_pte_offset() (patch 5) touch multiple architectures but I've managed to minimise these changes for the other affected functions - huge_pte_clear() and set_huge_pte_at(). These patches gate the enabling of contiguous hugepages support on arm64 which has been requested for systems using !4k page granule. The ARM64 architecture supports two flavours of hugepages - * Block mappings at the pud/pmd level These are regular hugepages where a pmd or a pud page table entry points to a block of memory. Depending on the PAGE_SIZE in use the following size of block mappings are supported - PMD PUD --- --- 4K: 2M 1G 16K: 32M 64K: 512M For certain applications/usecases such as HPC and large enterprise workloads, folks are using 64k page size but the minimum hugepage size of 512MB isn't very practical. To overcome this ... * Using the Contiguous bit The architecture provides a contiguous bit in the translation table entry which acts as a hint to the mmu to indicate that it is one of a contiguous set of entries that can be cached in a single TLB entry. We use the contiguous bit in Linux to increase the mapping size at the pmd and pte (last) level. The number of supported contiguous entries varies by page size and level of the page table. Using the contiguous bit allows additional hugepage sizes - CONT PTE PMD CONT PMD PUD -------- --- -------- --- 4K: 64K 2M 32M 1G 16K: 2M 32M 1G 64K: 2M 512M 16G Of these, 64K with 4K and 2M with 64K pages have been explicitly requested by a few different users. Entries with the contiguous bit set are required to be modified all together - which makes things like memory poisoning and migration impossible to do correctly without knowing the size of hugepage being dealt with - the reason for adding size parameter to a few of the hugepage helpers in this series. This patch (of 8): As we regularly check for contiguous pte's in the huge accessors, remove this extra check from find_num_contig.

pte_offset_map_lock() finds and takes ptl, and returns pte. But some callers return without unlocking the ptl when pte == NULL, which seems weird. Git history said that !pte check in change_pte_range() was introduced in commit 1ad9f620 ("mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock during protection changes") and still remains after commit 175ad4f1 ("mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lock") which partially reverts 1ad9f620. So I think that it's just dead code. Many other caller of pte_offset_map_lock() never check NULL return, so let's do likewise.

POWER9 supports hugepages of size 2M and 1G in radix MMU mode. This patch enables the usage of 1G page size for hugetlbfs. This also update the helper such we can do 1G page allocation at runtime. We still don't enable 1G page size on DD1 version. This is to avoid doing workaround mentioned in commit 6d3a0379 ("powerpc/mm: Add radix__tlb_flush_pte_p9_dd1()").

This moves the #ifdef in C code to a Kconfig dependency. Also we move the gigantic_page_supported() function to be arch specific. This allows architectures to conditionally enable runtime allocation of gigantic huge page. Architectures like ppc64 supports different gigantic huge page size (16G and 1G) based on the translation mode selected. This provides an opportunity for ppc64 to enable runtime allocation only w.r.t 1G hugepage. No functional change in this patch.

Allow hash tables to scale with memory but at slower pace, when HASH_ADAPT is provided every time memory quadruples the sizes of hash tables will only double instead of quadrupling as well. This algorithm starts working only when memory size reaches a certain point, currently set to 64G. This is example of dentry hash table size, before and after four various memory configurations: MEMORY SCALE HASH_SIZE old new old new 8G 13 13 8M 8M 16G 13 13 16M 16M 32G 13 13 32M 32M 64G 13 13 64M 64M 128G 13 14 128M 64M 256G 13 14 256M 128M 512G 13 15 512M 128M 1024G 13 15 1024M 256M 2048G 13 16 2048M 256M 4096G 13 16 4096M 512M 8192G 13 17 8192M 512M 16384G 13 17 16384M 1024M 32768G 13 18 32768M 1024M 65536G 13 18 65536M 2048M The effect of this change on runtime is undetectable as filesystem growth is not proportional to machine memory size as is currently assumed. The change effects only large memory machine. Additional tuning might be needed, but that can be done by the clients of the kmem_cache_create interface, not the generic cache allocator itself. The adaptive hashing is disabled on 32 bit systems to avoid confusion of whether base should be different for smaller systems, and to avoid overflows.

Update dcache, inode, pid, mountpoint, and mount hash tables to use HASH_ZERO, and remove initialization after allocations. In case of places where HASH_EARLY was used such as in __pv_init_lock_hash the zeroed hash table was already assumed, because memblock zeroes the memory.

Add a new flag HASH_ZERO which when provided grantees that the hash table that is returned by alloc_large_system_hash() is zeroed. In most cases that is what is needed by the caller. Use page level allocator's __GFP_ZERO flags to zero the memory. It is using memset() which is efficient method to zero memory and is optimized for most platforms.

Architectures like ppc64 supports hugepage size that is not mapped to any of of the page table levels. Instead they add an alternate page table entry format called hugepage directory (hugepd). hugepd indicates that the page table entry maps to a set of hugetlb pages. Add support for this in generic follow_page_mask code. We already support this format in the generic gup code. The default implementation prints warning and returns NULL. We will add ppc64 support in later patches Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1494926612-23928-7-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:
