KASAN splats indicate that in some cases we free a live mm, then continue to access it, with potentially disastrous results. This is likely due to a mismatched mmdrop() somewhere in the kernel, but so far the culprit remains elusive. Let's have __mmdrop() verify that the mm isn't live for the current task, similar to the existing check for init_mm. This way, we can catch this class of issue earlier, and without requiring KASAN. Currently, idle_task_exit() leaves active_mm stale after it switches to init_mm. This isn't harmful, but will trigger the new assertions, so we must adjust idle_task_exit() to update active_mm.

During the reclaiming slab of a memcg, shrink_slab iterates over all registered shrinkers in the system, and tries to count and consume objects related to the cgroup. In case of memory pressure, this behaves bad: I observe high system time and time spent in list_lru_count_one() for many processes on RHEL7 kernel. This patch makes list_lru_node::memcg_lrus rcu protected, that allows to skip taking spinlock in list_lru_count_one(). Shakeel Butt with the patch observes significant perf graph change.

Patch series "zsmalloc/zram: drop zram's max_zpage_size", v3. ZRAM's max_zpage_size is a bad thing. It forces zsmalloc to store normal objects as huge ones, which results in bigger zsmalloc memory usage. Drop it and use actual zsmalloc huge-class value when decide if the object is huge or not. This patch (of 2): Not every object can be share its zspage with other objects, e.g. when the object is as big as zspage or nearly as big a zspage. For such objects zsmalloc has a so called huge class - every object which belongs to huge class consumes the entire zspage (which consists of a physical page). On x86_64, PAGE_SHIFT 12 box, the first non-huge class size is 3264, so starting down from size 3264, objects can share page(-s) and thus minimize memory wastage. ZRAM, however, has its own statically defined watermark for huge objects, namely "3 * PAGE_SIZE / 4 = 3072", and forcibly stores every object larger than this watermark (3072) as a PAGE_SIZE object, in other words, to a huge class, while zsmalloc can keep some of those objects in non-huge classes. This results in increased memory consumption. zsmalloc knows better if the object is huge or not. Introduce zs_huge_class_size() function which tells if the given object can be stored in one of non-huge classes or not. This will let us to drop ZRAM's huge object watermark and fully rely on zsmalloc when we decide if the object is huge.

Thanks to commit 4b3ef9da ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap device will be freed. So page_mapping() users which may touch the address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space from being freed during accessing. The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function. But in some cases there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff, for example, CPU1 CPU2 __get_user_pages() swapoff() flush_dcache_page() mapping = page_mapping() ... exit_swap_address_space() ... kvfree(spaces) mapping_mapped(mapping) The address space may be accessed after being freed. But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be used. The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures follows this too. They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the dcache immediately. And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap) to find all user space mappings. While mapping_mapped() and mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all. So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping() is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL otherwise. All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are replaced with page_mapping_file().

When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like hugetlbfs and report the MMU page mapping size that is being enforced by the vma. Similar to commit 31383c68 "mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct" it would be messy to teach vma_mmu_pagesize() about device-dax page mapping sizes in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this attribute. Instead, these patches introduce a new ->pagesize() vm operation. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/151996254734.27922.15813097401404359642.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm, smaps: MMUPageSize for device-dax", v3. Similar to commit 31383c68 ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct") here is another occasion where we want special-case hugetlbfs/hstate enabling to also apply to device-dax. This prompts the question what other hstate conversions we might do beyond ->split() and ->pagesize(), but this appears to be the last of the usages of hstate_vma() in generic/non-hugetlbfs specific code paths. This patch (of 3): The current powerpc definition of vma_mmu_pagesize() open codes looking up the page size via hstate. It is identical to the generic vma_kernel_pagesize() implementation. Now, vma_kernel_pagesize() is growing support for determining the page size of Device-DAX vmas in addition to the existing Hugetlbfs page size determination. Ideally, if the powerpc vma_mmu_pagesize() used vma_kernel_pagesize() it would automatically benefit from any new vma-type support that is added to vma_kernel_pagesize(). However, the powerpc vma_mmu_pagesize() is prevented from calling vma_kernel_pagesize() due to a circular header dependency that requires vma_mmu_pagesize() to be defined before including <linux/hugetlb.h>. Break this circular dependency by defining the default vma_mmu_pagesize() as a __weak symbol to be overridden by the powerpc version.

When a page is freed back to the global pool, its buddy will be checked to see if it's possible to do a merge. This requires accessing buddy's page structure and that access could take a long time if it's cache cold. This patch adds a prefetch to the to-be-freed page's buddy outside of zone->lock in hope of accessing buddy's page structure later under zone->lock will be faster. Since we *always* do buddy merging and check an order-0 page's buddy to try to merge it when it goes into the main allocator, the cacheline will always come in, i.e. the prefetched data will never be unused. Normally, the number of prefetch will be pcp->batch(default=31 and has an upper limit of (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)=96 on x86_64) but in the case of pcp's pages get all drained, it will be pcp->count which has an upper limit of pcp->high. pcp->high, although has a default value of 186 (pcp->batch=31 * 6), can be changed by user through /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction and there is no software upper limit so could be large, like several thousand. For this reason, only the first pcp->batch number of page's buddy structure is prefetched to avoid excessive prefetching. In the meantime, there are two concerns: 1. the prefetch could potentially evict existing cachelines, especially for L1D cache since it is not huge 2. there is some additional instruction overhead, namely calculating buddy pfn twice For 1, it's hard to say, this microbenchmark though shows good result but the actual benefit of this patch will be workload/CPU dependant; For 2, since the calculation is a XOR on two local variables, it's expected in many cases that cycles spent will be offset by reduced memory latency later. This is especially true for NUMA machines where multiple CPUs are contending on zone->lock and the most time consuming part under zone->lock is the wait of 'struct page' cacheline of the to-be-freed pages and their buddies.

It's possible for free pages to become stranded on per-cpu pagesets (pcps) that, if drained, could be merged with buddy pages on the zone's free area to form large order pages, including up to MAX_ORDER. Consider a verbose example using the tools/vm/page-types tool at the beginning of a ZONE_NORMAL ('B' indicates a buddy page and 'S' indicates a slab page). Pages on pcps do not have any page flags set. 109954 1 _______S________________________________________________________ 109955 2 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109957 1 ________________________________________________________________ 109958 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109959 7 ________________________________________________________________ 109960 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109961 9 ________________________________________________________________ 10996a 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 10996b 3 ________________________________________________________________ 10996e 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 10996f 1 ________________________________________________________________ ... 109f8c 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109f8d 2 ________________________________________________________________ 109f8f 2 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109f91 f ________________________________________________________________ 109fa0 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109fa1 7 ________________________________________________________________ 109fa8 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109fa9 1 ________________________________________________________________ 109faa 1 __________B_____________________________________________________ 109fab 1 _______S________________________________________________________ The compaction migration scanner is attempting to defragment this memory since it is at the beginning of the zone. It has done so quite well, all movable pages have been migrated. From pfn [0x109955, 0x109fab), there are only buddy pages and pages without flags set. These pages may be stranded on pcps that could otherwise allow this memory to be coalesced if freed back to the zone free area. It is possible that some of these pages may not be on pcps and that something has called alloc_pages() and used the memory directly, but we rely on the absence of __GFP_MOVABLE in these cases to allocate from MIGATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try to keep these MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks as free as possible. These buddy and pcp pages, spanning 1,621 pages, could be coalesced and allow for three transparent hugepages to be dynamically allocated. Running the numbers for all such spans on the system, it was found that there were over 400 such spans of only buddy pages and pages without flags set at the time this /proc/kpageflags sample was collected. Without this support, there were _no_ order-9 or order-10 pages free. When kcompactd fails to defragment memory such that a cc.order page can be allocated, drain all pcps for the zone back to the buddy allocator so this stranding cannot occur. Compaction for that order will subsequently be deferred, which acts as a ratelimit on this drain.

should_failslab() is a convenient function to hook into for directed error injection into kmalloc(). However, it is only available if a config flag is set.

This change would be similar in nature to commit f5490d3ec921 ("block: Add should_fail_bio() for bpf error injection").

When I see recent change of swap readahead, I am very unhappy about current code structure which diverges two swap readahead algorithm in do_swap_page. This patch is to clean it up. Main motivation is that fault handler doesn't need to be aware of readahead algorithms but just should call swapin_readahead. As first step, this patch cleans up a little bit but not perfect (I just separate for review easier) so next patch will make the goal complete.

Since we no longer use return value of shrink_slab() for normal reclaim, the comment is no longer true. If some do_shrink_slab() call takes unexpectedly long (root cause of stall is currently unknown) when register_shrinker()/unregister_shrinker() is pending, trying to drop caches via /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches could become infinite cond_resched() loop if many mem_cgroup are defined.

Currently if z3fold couldn't find an unbuddied page it would first try to pull a page off the stale list. The problem with this approach is that we can't 100% guarantee that the page is not processed by the workqueue thread at the same time unless we run cancel_work_sync() on it, which we can't do if we're in an atomic context. So let's just limit stale list usage to non-atomic contexts only. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/47ab51e7-e9c1-d30e-ab17-f734dbc3abce@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

THP split makes non-atomic change of tail page flags. This is almost ok because tail pages are locked and isolated but this breaks recent changes in page locking: non-atomic operation could clear bit PG_waiters. As a result concurrent sequence get_page_unless_zero() -> lock_page() might block forever. Especially if this page was truncated later. Fix is trivial: clone flags before unfreezing page reference counter. This race exists since commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit") while unsave unfreeze itself was added in commit 8df651c7 ("thp: cleanup split_huge_page()"). clear_compound_head() also must be called before unfreezing page reference because after successful get_page_unless_zero() might follow put_page() which needs correct compound_head(). And replace page_ref_inc()/page_ref_add() with page_ref_unfreeze() which is made especially for that and has semantic of smp_store_release().

When page_mapping() is called and the mapping is dereferenced in page_evicatable() through shrink_active_list(), it is possible for the inode to be truncated and the embedded address space to be freed at the same time. This may lead to the following race. CPU1 CPU2 truncate(inode) shrink_active_list() ... page_evictable(page) truncate_inode_page(mapping, page); delete_from_page_cache(page) spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL) page_cache_tree_delete(..) ... mapping = page_mapping(page); page->mapping = NULL; ... spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); page_cache_free_page(mapping, page) put_page(page) if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false - inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space mapping_unevictable(mapping) test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE, &mapping->flags); - we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free. Similar race exists between swap cache freeing and page_evicatable() too. The address_space in inode and swap cache will be freed after a RCU grace period. So the races are fixed via enclosing the page_mapping() and address_space usage in rcu_read_lock/unlock(). Some comments are added in code to make it clear what is protected by the RCU read lock.

Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively. This requires the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line, however. This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore= as a percentage of total system memory. This is convenient for systems software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example, as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value. To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be a '%'. mhocko: "why is anyone using these options nowadays?" rientjes: : : Fragmentation of non-__GFP_MOVABLE pages due to low on memory : situations can pollute most pageblocks on the system, as much as 1GB of : slab being fragmented over 128GB of memory, for example.

This happens because get_user_pages_fast() is not aware of a migration entry on pud that was created in the 1st madvise() event. I think that conversion to pud-aligned migration entry is working, but other MM code walking over page table isn't prepared for it.

During memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages three times: 1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section() 2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and SetPageReserved(page); 3. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn() This patch removes the first two loops, and leaves only loop 3. All struct pages are initialized in one place, the same as it is done during boot. The benefits: - We improve memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting the cache several times and also reduce loop branching overhead. - Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added in order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above email thread, thus also improve performance during normal boot. - Make memory hotplug more similar to the boot memory initialization path because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one function. - Simplifies memory hotplug struct page initialization code, and thus enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the initialization of struct pages in order to improve hotplug performance even further on larger machines.

During memory hotplugging the probe routine will leave struct pages uninitialized, the same as it is currently done during boot. Therefore, we do not want to access the inside of struct pages before __init_single_page() is called during onlining. Because during hotplug we know that pages in one memory block belong to the same numa node, we can skip the checking. We should keep checking for the boot case.

When memory is hotplugged pages_correctly_reserved() is called to verify that the added memory is present, this routine traverses through every struct page and verifies that PageReserved() is set. This is a slow operation especially if a large amount of memory is added. Instead of checking every page, it is enough to simply check that the section is present, has mapping (struct page array is allocated), and the mapping is online. In addition, we should not excpect that probe routine sets flags in struct page, as the struct pages have not yet been initialized. The initialization should be done in __init_single_page(), the same as during boot. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180215165920.8570-5-pasha.tatashin@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

During boot we poison struct page memory in order to ensure that no one is accessing this memory until the struct pages are initialized in __init_single_page(). This patch adds more scrutiny to this checking by making sure that flags do not equal the poison pattern when they are accessed. The pattern is all ones. Since node id is also stored in struct page, and may be accessed quite early, we add this enforcement into page_to_nid() function as well.

Memory sections are combined into "memory block" chunks. These chunks are the units upon which memory can be added and removed.

Memory sections are combined into "memory block" chunks. These chunks are the units upon which memory can be added and removed. On x86 the new memory may be added after the end of the boot memory, therefore, if block size does not align with end of boot memory, memory hotplugging/hotremoving can be broken. Currently, whenever machine is booted with more than 64G the block size is unconditionally increased to 2G from the base 128M. This is done in order to reduce number of memory device files in sysfs: /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX We must use the largest allowed block size that aligns to the next address to be able to hotplug the next block of memory. So, when memory is larger or equal to 64G, we check the end address and find the largest block size that is still power of two but smaller or equal to 2G. Before, the fix: Run qemu with: -m 64G,slots=2,maxmem=66G -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=2G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 Block size [0x80000000] unaligned hotplug range: start 0x1040000000, size 0x80000000 acpi PNP0C80:00: add_memory failed acpi PNP0C80:00: acpi_memory_enable_device() error acpi PNP0C80:00: Enumeration failure With the fix memory is added successfully as the block size is set to 1G, and therefore aligns with start address 0x1040000000.
