The function call overhead of get_pfnblock_flags_mask() is measurable in the page free paths. This patch uses an inlined version that is faster. Signed-off-by:

Check without side-effects should be easier to maintain. It also removes the duplicated cpupid and flags reset done in !DEBUG_VM variant of both free_pcp_prepare() and then bulkfree_pcp_prepare(). Finally, it enables the next patch. It shouldn't result in new branches, thanks to inlining of the check. !DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-27 (-27) function old new delta __free_pages_ok 748 739 -9 free_pcppages_bulk 1403 1385 -18 DEBUG_VM: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-28 (-28) function old new delta free_pages_prepare 806 778 -28 This is also slightly faster because cpupid information is not set on tail pages so we can avoid resets there.

Every page allocated or freed is checked for sanity to avoid corruptions that are difficult to detect later. A bad page could be due to a number of fields. Instead of using multiple branches, this patch combines multiple fields into a single branch. A detailed check is only necessary if that check fails. 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 initonce-v1r20 multcheck-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 359.00 ( 0.00%) 348.00 ( 3.06%) Min alloc-odr0-2 260.00 ( 0.00%) 254.00 ( 2.31%) Min alloc-odr0-4 214.00 ( 0.00%) 213.00 ( 0.47%) Min alloc-odr0-8 186.00 ( 0.00%) 186.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-16 173.00 ( 0.00%) 173.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-32 165.00 ( 0.00%) 166.00 ( -0.61%) Min alloc-odr0-64 162.00 ( 0.00%) 162.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-128 161.00 ( 0.00%) 160.00 ( 0.62%) Min alloc-odr0-256 170.00 ( 0.00%) 169.00 ( 0.59%) Min alloc-odr0-512 181.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 0.55%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 190.00 ( 0.00%) 188.00 ( 1.05%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 196.00 ( 0.00%) 194.00 ( 1.02%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 202.00 ( 0.00%) 199.00 ( 1.49%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 205.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 1.46%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 205.00 ( 0.00%) 203.00 ( 0.98%) Again, the benefit is marginal but avoiding excessive branches is important.

The allocator fast path looks up the first usable zone in a zonelist and then get_page_from_freelist does the same job in the zonelist iterator.

Watermarks have to be checked on every allocation including the number of pages being allocated and whether reserves can be accessed. The reserves only matter if memory is limited and the free_pages adjustment only applies to high-order pages. This patch adds a shortcut for order-0 pages that avoids numerous calculations if there is plenty of free memory yielding the following performance difference in a page allocator microbenchmark; 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 optfair-v1r20 fastmark-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 380.00 ( 0.00%) 364.00 ( 4.21%) Min alloc-odr0-2 273.00 ( 0.00%) 262.00 ( 4.03%) Min alloc-odr0-4 227.00 ( 0.00%) 214.00 ( 5.73%) Min alloc-odr0-8 196.00 ( 0.00%) 186.00 ( 5.10%) Min alloc-odr0-16 183.00 ( 0.00%) 173.00 ( 5.46%) Min alloc-odr0-32 173.00 ( 0.00%) 165.00 ( 4.62%) Min alloc-odr0-64 169.00 ( 0.00%) 161.00 ( 4.73%) Min alloc-odr0-128 169.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 5.92%) Min alloc-odr0-256 180.00 ( 0.00%) 168.00 ( 6.67%) Min alloc-odr0-512 190.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 5.26%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 198.00 ( 0.00%) 190.00 ( 4.04%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 204.00 ( 0.00%) 196.00 ( 3.92%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 209.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 3.35%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 213.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.29%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 214.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.74%) Signed-off-by: -

The fair zone allocation policy is not without cost but it can be reduced slightly. This patch removes an unnecessary local variable, checks the likely conditions of the fair zone policy first, uses a bool instead of a flags check and falls through when a remote node is encountered instead of doing a full restart.

Pageblocks have an associated bitmap to store migrate types and whether the pageblock should be skipped during compaction. The bitmap may be associated with a memory section or a zone but the zone is looked up unconditionally.

The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations will not be restricted. Despite this, there is always functional call overhead which builds up. This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator function for the complex case. A hindrance was the fact that cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems. The patch handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset exists. As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some junk in the slowpath.

The PageAnon check always checks for compound_head but this is a relatively expensive check if the caller already knows the page is a head page. This patch creates a helper and uses it in the page free path which only operates on head pages. With this patch and "Only check PageCompound for high-order pages", the performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is; 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 vanilla nocompound-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 425.00 ( 0.00%) 417.00 ( 1.88%) Min alloc-odr0-2 313.00 ( 0.00%) 308.00 ( 1.60%) Min alloc-odr0-4 257.00 ( 0.00%) 253.00 ( 1.56%) Min alloc-odr0-8 224.00 ( 0.00%) 221.00 ( 1.34%) Min alloc-odr0-16 208.00 ( 0.00%) 205.00 ( 1.44%) Min alloc-odr0-32 199.00 ( 0.00%) 199.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-64 195.00 ( 0.00%) 193.00 ( 1.03%) Min alloc-odr0-128 192.00 ( 0.00%) 191.00 ( 0.52%) Min alloc-odr0-256 204.00 ( 0.00%) 200.00 ( 1.96%) Min alloc-odr0-512 213.00 ( 0.00%) 212.00 ( 0.47%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 219.00 ( 0.00%) 219.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 225.00 ( 0.00%) 225.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 230.00 ( 0.00%) 231.00 ( -0.43%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 235.00 ( 0.00%) 234.00 ( 0.43%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 235.00 ( 0.00%) 234.00 ( 0.43%) Min free-odr0-1 215.00 ( 0.00%) 191.00 ( 11.16%) Min free-odr0-2 152.00 ( 0.00%) 136.00 ( 10.53%) Min free-odr0-4 119.00 ( 0.00%) 107.00 ( 10.08%) Min free-odr0-8 106.00 ( 0.00%) 96.00 ( 9.43%) Min free-odr0-16 97.00 ( 0.00%) 87.00 ( 10.31%) Min free-odr0-32 91.00 ( 0.00%) 83.00 ( 8.79%) Min free-odr0-64 89.00 ( 0.00%) 81.00 ( 8.99%) Min free-odr0-128 88.00 ( 0.00%) 80.00 ( 9.09%) Min free-odr0-256 106.00 ( 0.00%) 95.00 ( 10.38%) Min free-odr0-512 116.00 ( 0.00%) 111.00 ( 4.31%) Min free-odr0-1024 125.00 ( 0.00%) 118.00 ( 5.60%) Min free-odr0-2048 133.00 ( 0.00%) 126.00 ( 5.26%) Min free-odr0-4096 136.00 ( 0.00%) 130.00 ( 4.41%) Min free-odr0-8192 138.00 ( 0.00%) 130.00 ( 5.80%) Min free-odr0-16384 137.00 ( 0.00%) 130.00 ( 5.11%) There is a sizable boost to the free allocator performance. While there is an apparent boost on the allocation side, it's likely a co-incidence or due to the patches slightly reducing cache footprint. Signed-off-by: -

Another year, another round of page allocator optimisations focusing this time on the alloc and free fast paths. This should be of help to workloads that are allocator-intensive from kernel space where the cost of zeroing is not nceessraily incurred. The series is motivated by the observation that page alloc microbenchmarks on multiple machines regressed between 3.12.44 and 4.4. Second, there is discussions before LSF/MM considering the possibility of adding another page allocator which is potentially hazardous but a patch series improving performance is better than whining. After the series is applied, there are still hazards. In the free paths, the debugging checking and page zone/pageblock lookups dominate but there was not an obvious solution to that. In the alloc path, the major contributers are dealing with zonelists, new page preperation, the fair zone allocation and numerous statistic updates. The fair zone allocator is removed by the per-node LRU series if that gets merged so it's nor a major concern at the moment. On normal userspace benchmarks, there is little impact as the zeroing cost is significant but it's visible aim9 4.6.0-rc3 4.6.0-rc3 vanilla deferalloc-v3 Min page_test 828693.33 ( 0.00%) 887060.00 (

Right now the oom reaper will clear TIF_MEMDIE only for tasks which were successfully reaped. This is the safest option because we know that such an oom victim would only block forward progress of the oom killer without a good reason because it is highly unlikely it would release much more memory. Basically most of its memory has been already torn down. We can relax this assumption to catch more corner cases though. The first obvious one is when the oom victim clears its mm and gets stuck later on. oom_reaper would back of on find_lock_task_mm returning NULL. We can safely try to clear TIF_MEMDIE in this case because such a task would be ignored by the oom killer anyway. The flag would be cleared by that time already most of the time anyway. The less obvious one is when the oom reaper fails due to mmap_sem contention. Even if we clear TIF_MEMDIE for this task then it is not very likely that we would select another task too easily because we haven't reaped the last victim and so it would be still the #1 candidate. There is a rare race condition possible when the current victim terminates before the next select_bad_process but considering that oom_reap_task had retried several times before giving up then this sounds like a borderline thing. After this patch we should have a guarantee that the OOM killer will not be block for unbounded amount of time for most cases. Signed-off-by:

If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom reaper. This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the task doesn't share the mm with an alive process. This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to exit. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build] Signed-off-by:

__alloc_pages_may_oom is the central place to decide when the out_of_memory should be invoked. This is a good approach for most checks there because they are page allocator specific and the allocation fails right after for all of them. The notable exception is GFP_NOFS context which is faking did_some_progress and keep the page allocator looping even though there couldn't have been any progress from the OOM killer. This patch doesn't change this behavior because we are not ready to allow those allocation requests to fail yet (and maybe we will face the reality that we will never manage to safely fail these request). Instead __GFP_FS check is moved down to out_of_memory and prevent from OOM victim selection there. There are two reasons for that - OOM notifiers might release some memory even from this context as none of the registered notifier seems to be FS related - this might help a dying thread to get an access to memory reserves and move on which will make the behavior more consistent with the case when the task gets killed from a different context. Keep a comment in __alloc_pages_may_oom to make sure we do not forget how GFP_NOFS is special and that we really want to do something about it. Note to the current oom_notifier users: The observable difference for you is that oom notifiers cannot depend on any fs locks because we could deadlock. Not that this would be allowed today because that would just lockup machine in most of the cases and ruling out the OOM killer along the way. Another difference is that callbacks might be invoked sooner now because GFP_NOFS is a weaker reclaim context and so there could be reclaimable memory which is just not reachable now. That would require GFP_NOFS only loads which are really rare and more importantly the observable result would be dropping of reconstructible object and potential performance drop which is not such a big deal when we are struggling to fulfill other important allocation requests.

This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858 ("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory"). Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic to userspace. I met two issues on this way: 1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU). These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by userspace. 2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938 Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override. This patch (of 2): Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage() is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if called later (but so far it has not been called later). Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default, adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's called).

Whatever huge pagecache implementation we go with, file rmap locking must be added to anon rmap locking, when mremap's move_page_tables() finds a pmd_trans_huge pmd entry: a simple change, let's do it now. Factor out take_rmap_locks() and drop_rmap_locks() to handle the locking for make move_ptes() and move_page_tables(), and delete the VM_BUG_ON_VMA which rejected vm_file and required anon_vma.

Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge" amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless, this is still a useful knob. Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse. Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as 0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code. But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by just ignoring the anomaly on those. Signed-off-by:

Although shmem_fault() has been careful to count a major fault to vm_mm, shmem_getpage_gfp() has been careless in charging a remote access fault to current->mm owner's memcg instead of to vma->vm_mm owner's memcg: that is inconsistent with all the mem_cgroup charging on remote access faults in mm/memory.c. Fix it by passing fault_mm along with fault_type to shmem_get_page_gfp(); but in that case, now knowing the right mm, it's better for it to handle the PGMAJFAULT updates itself. And let's keep this clutter out of most callers' way: change the common shmem_getpage() wrapper to hide fault_mm and fault_type as well as gfp. Signed-off-by:

Make a few cleanups in mm/shmem.c, before going on to complicate it. shmem_alloc_page() will become more complicated: we can't afford to to have that complication duplicated between a CONFIG_NUMA version and a !CONFIG_NUMA version, so rearrange the #ifdef'ery there to yield a single shmem_swapin() and a single shmem_alloc_page(). Yes, it's a shame to inflict the horrid pseudo-vma on non-NUMA configurations, but eliminating it is a larger cleanup: I have an alloc_pages_mpol() patchset not yet ready - mpol handling is subtle and bug-prone, and changed yet again since my last version. Move __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked from shmem_getpage_gfp() to shmem_alloc_page(): that SwapBacked flag will be useful in future, to help to distinguish different cases appropriately. And the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE is hard to understand and of little use (IIRC it dates back to when shmem_getpage() returned the page unlocked): kill it and do the necessary in shmem_file_read_iter(). But an arm64 build then complained that info may be uninitialized (where shmem_getpage_gfp() deletes a freshly alloced page beyond eof), and advancing to an "sgp <= SGP_CACHE" test jogged it back to reality.

v3.16 commit 07a42788 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero- ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks). That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles: but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same justification. Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path: it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set. Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants. There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment. Signed-off-by:

Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page. Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both. With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where __mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding some more calls in a future commit. Make the code a little smaller and simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update. The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but I still think this a simplification worth making. However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size when CONFIG_MEMCG. Signed-off-by:

Though debug kernels have a VM_BUG_ON to help protect from misaccounting lru_size, non-debug kernels are liable to wrap it around: and then the vast unsigned long size draws page reclaim into a loop of repeatedly doing nothing on an empty list, without even a cond_resched(). That soft lockup looks confusingly like an over-busy reclaim scenario, with lots of contention on the lru_lock in shrink_inactive_list(): yet has a totally different origin. Help differentiate with a custom warning in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(), even in non-debug kernels; and reset the size to avoid the lockup. But the particular bug which suggested this change was mine alone, and since fixed. Make it a WARN_ONCE: the first occurrence is the most informative, a flurry may follow, yet even when rate-limited little more is learnt. Signed-off-by:
