mm/vmstat.c: standardize file operations variable names
Standardize the file operation variable names related to all four memory management /proc interface files. Also change all the symbol permissions (S_IRUGO) into octal permissions (0444) as it got complaints from checkpatch.pl. This does not create any functional change to the interface.

ksm: optimize refile of stable_node_dup at the head of the chain
If a candidate stable_node_dup has been found and it can accept further merges it can be refiled to the head of the list to speedup next searches without altering which dup is found and how the dups accumulate in the chain. We already refiled it back to the head in the prune_stale_stable_nodes case, but we didn't refile it if not pruning (which is more common). And we also refiled it when it was already at the head which is unnecessary (in the prune_stale_stable_nodes case, nr > 1 means there's more than one dup in the chain, it doesn't mean it's not already at the head of the chain). The stable_node_chain list is single threaded and there's no SMP locking contention so it should be faster to refile it to the head of the list also if prune_stale_stable_nodes is false. Profiling shows the refile happens 1.9% of the time when a dup is found with a max_page_sharing limit setting of 3 (with max_page_sharing of 2 the refile never happens of course as there's never space for one more merge) which is reasonably low. At higher max_page_sharing values it should be much less frequent. This is just an optimization.

ksm: swap the two output parameters of chain/chain_prune
Some static checker complains if chain/chain_prune returns a potentially stale pointer. There are two output parameters to chain/chain_prune, one is tree_page the other is stable_node_dup. Like in get_ksm_page the caller has to check tree_page is NULL before touching the stable_node. Similarly in chain/chain_prune the caller has to check tree_page before touching the stable_node_dup returned or the original stable_node passed as parameter. Because the tree_page is never returned as a stale pointer, it may be more intuitive to return tree_page and to pass stable_node_dup for reference instead of the reverse. This patch purely swaps the two output parameters of chain/chain_prune as a cleanup for the static checker and to mimic the get_ksm_page behavior more closely. There's no change to the caller at all except the swap, it's purely a cleanup and it is a noop from the caller point of view.

ksm: cleanup stable_node chain collapse case
Patch series "KSMscale cleanup/optimizations". There are no fixes here it's just minor cleanups and optimizations. 1/3 removes makes the "fix" for the stale stable_node fall in the standard case without introducing new cases. Setting stable_node to NULL was marginally safer, but stale pointer is still wiped from the caller, this looks cleaner. 2/3 should fix the false positive from Dan's static checker. 3/3 is a microoptimization to apply the the refile of future merge candidate dups at the head of the chain in all cases and to skip it in one case where we did it and but it was a noop (to avoid checking if it was already at the head but now we've to check it anyway so it got optimized away). This patch (of 3): When the stable_node chain is collapsed we can as well set the caller stable_node to match the returned stable_node_dup in chain_prune(). This way the collapse case becomes indistinguishable from the regular stable_node case and we can remove two branches from the KSM page migration handling slow paths. While it was all correct this looks cleaner (and faster) as the caller has to deal with fewer special cases.

ksm: fix use after free with merge_across_nodes = 0
If merge_across_nodes was manually set to 0 (not the default value) by the admin or a tuned profile on NUMA systems triggering cross-NODE page migrations, a stable_node use after free could materialize. If the chain is collapsed stable_node would point to the old chain that was already freed. stable_node_dup would be the stable_node dup now converted to a regular stable_node and indexed in the rbtree in replacement of the freed stable_node chain (not anymore a dup). This special case where the chain is collapsed in the NUMA replacement path, is now detected by setting stable_node to NULL by the chain_prune callee if it decides to collapse the chain. This tells the NUMA replacement code that even if stable_node and stable_node_dup are different, this is not a chain if stable_node is NULL, as the stable_node_dup was converted to a regular stable_node and the chain was collapsed. It is generally safer for the callee to force the caller stable_node to NULL the moment it become stale so any other mistake like this would result in an instant Oops easier to debug than an use after free. Otherwise the replace logic would act like if stable_node was a valid chain, when in fact it was freed. Notably stable_node_chain_add_dup(page_node, stable_node) would run on a stable stable_node. Andrey Ryabinin found the source of the use after free in chain_prune().

ksm: introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page deduplication limit
Without a max deduplication limit for each KSM page, the list of the rmap_items associated to each stable_node can grow infinitely large. During the rmap walk each entry can take up to ~10usec to process because of IPIs for the TLB flushing (both for the primary MMU and the secondary MMUs with the MMU notifier). With only 16GB of address space shared in the same KSM page, that would amount to dozens of seconds of kernel runtime. A ~256 max deduplication factor will reduce the latencies of the rmap walks on KSM pages to order of a few msec. Just doing the cond_resched() during the rmap walks is not enough, the list size must have a limit too, otherwise the caller could get blocked in (schedule friendly) kernel computations for seconds, unexpectedly. There's room for optimization to significantly reduce the IPI delivery cost during the page_referenced(), but at least for page_migration in the KSM case (used by hard NUMA bindings, compaction and NUMA balancing) it may be inevitable to send lots of IPIs if each rmap_item->mm is active on a different CPU and there are lots of CPUs. Even if we ignore the IPI delivery cost, we've still to walk the whole KSM rmap list, so we can't allow millions or billions (ulimited) number of entries in the KSM stable_node rmap_item lists. The limit is enforced efficiently by adding a second dimension to the stable rbtree. So there are three types of stable_nodes: the regular ones (identical as before, living in the first flat dimension of the stable rbtree), the "chains" and the "dups". Every "chain" and all "dups" linked into a "chain" enforce the invariant that they represent the same write protected memory content, even if each "dup" will be pointed by a different KSM page copy of that content. This way the stable rbtree lookup computational complexity is unaffected if compared to an unlimited max_sharing_limit. It is still enforced that there cannot be KSM page content duplicates in the stable rbtree itself. Adding the second dimension to the stable rbtree only after the max_page_sharing limit hits, provides for a zero memory footprint increase on 64bit archs. The memory overhead of the per-KSM page stable_tree and per virtual mapping rmap_item is unchanged. Only after the max_page_sharing limit hits, we need to allocate a stable_tree "chain" and rb_replace() the "regular" stable_node with the newly allocated stable_node "chain". After that we simply add the "regular" stable_node to the chain as a stable_node "dup" by linking hlist_dup in the stable_node_chain->hlist. This way the "regular" (flat) stable_node is converted to a stable_node "dup" living in the second dimension of the stable rbtree. During stable rbtree lookups the stable_node "chain" is identified as stable_node->rmap_hlist_len == STABLE_NODE_CHAIN (aka is_stable_node_chain()). When dropping stable_nodes, the stable_node "dup" is identified as stable_node->head == STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD (aka is_stable_node_dup()). The STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD must be an unique valid pointer never used elsewhere in any stable_node->head/node to avoid a clashes with the stable_node->node.rb_parent_color pointer, and different from &migrate_nodes. So the second field of &migrate_nodes is picked and verified as always safe with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case the list_head implementation changes in the future. The STABLE_NODE_DUP is picked as a random negative value in stable_node->rmap_hlist_len. rmap_hlist_len cannot become negative when it's a "regular" stable_node or a stable_node "dup". The stable_node_chain->nid is irrelevant. The stable_node_chain->kpfn is aliased in a union with a time field used to rate limit the stable_node_chain->hlist prunes. The garbage collection of the stable_node_chain happens lazily during stable rbtree lookups (as for all other kind of stable_nodes), or while disabling KSM with "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run" while collecting the entire stable rbtree. While the "regular" stable_nodes and the stable_node "dups" must wait for their underlying tree_page to be freed before they can be freed themselves, the stable_node "chains" can be freed immediately if the stable_node->hlist turns empty. This is because the "chains" are never pointed by any page->mapping and they're effectively stable rbtree KSM self contained metadata.

mm, sparsemem: break out of loops early
There are a number of times that we loop over NR_MEM_SECTIONS, looking for section_present() on each section. But, when we have very large physical address spaces (large MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS), NR_MEM_SECTIONS becomes very large, making the loops quite long. With MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=46 and a section size of 128MB, the current loops are 512k iterations, which we barely notice on modern hardware. But, raising MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS higher (like we will see on systems that support 5-level paging) makes this 64x longer and we start to notice, especially on slower systems like simulators. A 10-second delay for 512k iterations is annoying. But, a 640- second delay is crippling. This does not help if we have extremely sparse physical address spaces, but those are quite rare. We expect that most of the "slow" systems where this matters will also be quite small and non-sparse. To fix this, we track the highest section we've ever encountered. This lets us know when we will *never* see another section_present(), and lets us break out of the loops earlier. Doing the whole for_each_present_section_nr() macro is probably overkill, but it will ensure that any future loop iterations that we grow are more likely to be correct. Kirrill said "It shaved almost 40 seconds from boot time in qemu with 5-level paging enabled for me".

mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build time
Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

fs: new infrastructure for writeback error handling and reporting
Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but also in truncate calls, getattr, etc. The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at nonsensical times. If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug, and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption. This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote has hit the backing store. In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync callers is not really an option. One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here without incurring too much overhead. This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since" value. This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that applications can now use it to determine whether there were any writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was opened in the case of fsync having never been called). Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure. This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success. The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor" is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at fsync time. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> |

mm: don't TestClearPageError in __filemap_fdatawait_range
The -EIO returned here can end up overriding whatever error is marked in the address space, and be returned at fsync time, even when there is a more appropriate error stored in the mapping. Read errors are also sometimes tracked on a per-page level using PG_error. Suppose we have a read error on a page, and then that page is subsequently dirtied by overwriting the whole page. Writeback doesn't clear PG_error, so we can then end up successfully writing back that page and still return -EIO on fsync. Worse yet, PG_error is cleared during a sync() syscall, but the -EIO return from that is silently discarded. Any subsystem that is relying on PG_error to report errors during fsync can easily lose writeback errors due to this. All you need is a stray sync() call to wait for writeback to complete and you've lost the error. Since the handling of the PG_error flag is somewhat inconsistent across subsystems, let's just rely on marking the address space when there are writeback errors. Change the TestClearPageError call to ClearPageError, and make __filemap_fdatawait_range a void return function. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> |

mm: clear AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC when writeback initiation fails
filemap_write_and_wait{_range} will return an error if writeback initiation fails, but won't clear errors in the address_space. This is particularly problematic on DAX, as filemap_fdatawrite* is effectively synchronous there. Ensure that we clear the AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC flags when filemap_fdatawrite* returns an error.

mm/vmalloc.c: huge-vmap: fail gracefully on unexpected huge vmap mappings
Existing code that uses vmalloc_to_page() may assume that any address for which is_vmalloc_addr() returns true may be passed into vmalloc_to_page() to retrieve the associated struct page. This is not un unreasonable assumption to make, but on architectures that have CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP=y, it no longer holds, and we need to ensure that vmalloc_to_page() does not go off into the weeds trying to dereference huge PUDs or PMDs as table entries. Given that vmalloc() and vmap() themselves never create huge mappings or deal with compound pages at all, there is no correct answer in this case, so return NULL instead, and issue a warning. When reading /proc/kcore on arm64, you will hit an oops as soon as you hit the huge mappings used for the various segments that make up the mapping of vmlinux. With this patch applied, you will no longer hit the oops, but the kcore contents willl be incorrect (these regions will be zeroed out) We are fixing this for kcore specifically, so it avoids vread() for those regions. At least one other problematic user exists, i.e., /dev/kmem, but that is currently broken on arm64 for other reasons.

ARM: 8683/1: ARM32: Support mremap() for sigpage/vDSO
CRIU restores application mappings on the same place where they were before Checkpoint. That means, that we need to move vDSO and sigpage during restore on exactly the same place where they were before C/R. Make mremap() code update mm->context.{sigpage,vdso} pointers during VMA move. Sigpage is used for landing after handling a signal - if the pointer is not updated during moving, the application might crash on any signal after mremap(). vDSO pointer on ARM32 is used only for setting auxv at this moment, update it during mremap() in case of future usage. Without those updates, current work of CRIU on ARM32 is not reliable. Historically, we error Checkpointing if we find vDSO page on ARM32 and suggest user to disable CONFIG_VDSO. But that's not correct - it goes from x86 where signal processing is ended in vDSO blob. For arm32 it's sigpage, which is not disabled with `CONFIG_VDSO=n'. Looks like C/R was working by luck - because userspace on ARM32 at this moment always sets SA_RESTORER.

sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list naming
So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry. Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case the 'task_list' name is actively confusing. To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure fields unambiguously: struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry For example, this code: rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list ... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way: rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry ... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head. Other examples are: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) { ... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be a bug), while now it's written as: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) { Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

mm: numa: avoid waiting on freed migrated pages
In do_huge_pmd_numa_page(), we attempt to handle a migrating thp pmd by
waiting until the pmd is unlocked before we return and retry. However,
we can race with migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page():
// do_huge_pmd_numa_page // migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
// Holds 0 refs on page // Holds 2 refs on page
vmf->ptl = pmd_lock(vma->vm_mm, vmf->pmd);
/* ... */
if (pmd_trans_migrating(*vmf->pmd)) {
page = pmd_page(*vmf->pmd);
spin_unlock(vmf->ptl);
ptl = pmd_lock(mm, pmd);
if (page_count(page) != 2)) {
/* roll back */
}
/* ... */
mlock_migrate_page(new_page, page);
/* ... */
spin_unlock(ptl);
put_page(page);
put_page(page); // page freed here
wait_on_page_locked(page);
goto out;
}
This can result in the freed page having its waiters flag set
unexpectedly, which trips the PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP checks in the
page alloc/free functions. This has been observed on arm64 KVM guests.
We can avoid this by having do_huge_pmd_numa_page() take a reference on
the page before dropping the pmd lock, mirroring what we do in
__migration_entry_wait().
When we hit the race, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() will see the
reference and abort the migration, as it may do today in other cases.

mm/memory-failure.c: use compound_head() flags for huge pages
memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page
flags. For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have
anything interesting set, resulting in:
> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state
> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed
Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page,
this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the
head pages flags instead. This results in the me_huge_page() recovery
action being called:
> Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed
For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage
to be dequeued.

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done. update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range. In this particular case we've had
Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)
so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.
Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation. Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address. The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation. This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

mm/hugetlb: report -EHWPOISON not -EFAULT when FOLL_HWPOISON is specified
KVM uses get_user_pages() to resolve its stage2 faults. KVM sets the FOLL_HWPOISON flag causing faultin_page() to return -EHWPOISON when it finds a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON. KVM handles these hwpoison pages as a special case. (check_user_page_hwpoison()) When huge pages are involved, this doesn't work so well. get_user_pages() calls follow_hugetlb_page(), which stops early if it receives VM_FAULT_HWPOISON from hugetlb_fault(), eventually returning -EFAULT to the caller. The step to map this to -EHWPOISON based on the FOLL_ flags is missing. The hwpoison special case is skipped, and -EFAULT is returned to user-space, causing Qemu or kvmtool to exit. Instead, move this VM_FAULT_ to errno mapping code into a header file and use it from faultin_page() and follow_hugetlb_page(). With this, KVM works as expected. This isn't a problem for arm64 today as we haven't enabled MEMORY_FAILURE, but I can't see any reason this doesn't happen on x86 too, so I think this should be a fix. This doesn't apply earlier than stable's v4.11.1 due to all sorts of cleanup. [james.morse@arm.com: add vm_fault_to_errno() call to faultin_page()] suggested.

mm/migrate: fix refcount handling when !hugepage_migration_supported()
On failing to migrate a page, soft_offline_huge_page() performs the necessary update to the hugepage ref-count. But when !hugepage_migration_supported() , unmap_and_move_hugepage() also decrements the page ref-count for the hugepage. The combined behaviour leaves the ref-count in an inconsistent state. This leads to soft lockups when running the overcommitted hugepage test from mce-tests suite.

slub/memcg: cure the brainless abuse of sysfs attributes
memcg_propagate_slab_attrs() abuses the sysfs attribute file functions to propagate settings from the root kmem_cache to a newly created kmem_cache. It does that with: attr->show(root, buf); attr->store(new, buf, strlen(bug); Aside of being a lazy and absurd hackery this is broken because it does not check the return value of the show() function. Some of the show() functions return 0 w/o touching the buffer. That means in such a case the store function is called with the stale content of the previous show(). That causes nonsense like invoking kmem_cache_shrink() on a newly created kmem_cache. In the worst case it would cause handing in an uninitialized buffer. This should be rewritten proper by adding a propagate() callback to those slub_attributes which must be propagated and avoid that insane conversion to and from ASCII, but that's too large for a hot fix. Check at least the return value of the show() function, so calling store() with stale content is prevented. Steven said: "It can cause a deadlock with get_online_cpus() that has been uncovered by recent cpu hotplug and lockdep changes that Thomas and Peter have been doing.

mm: clarify why we want kmalloc before falling backto vmallock
While converting drm_[cm]alloc* helpers to kvmalloc* variants Chris Wilson has wondered why we want to try kmalloc before vmalloc fallback even for larger allocations requests.

ksm: prevent crash after write_protect_page fails
"err" needs to be left set to -EFAULT if split_huge_page succeeds. Otherwise if "err" gets clobbered with zero and write_protect_page fails, try_to_merge_one_page() will succeed instead of returning -EFAULT and then try_to_merge_with_ksm_page() will continue thinking kpage is a PageKsm when in fact it's still an anonymous page. Eventually it'll crash in page_add_anon_rmap. This has been reproduced on Fedora25 kernel but I can reproduce with upstream too. The bug was introduced in commit |

mm, x86/mm: Make the batched unmap TLB flush API more generic
try_to_unmap_flush() used to open-code a rather x86-centric flush sequence: local_flush_tlb() + flush_tlb_others(). Rearrange the code so that the arch (only x86 for now) provides arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() and arch_tlbbatch_flush() and the core code calls those functions instead. I'll want this for x86 because, to enable address space ids, I can't support the flush_tlb_others() mode used by exising try_to_unmap_flush() implementation with good performance. I can support the new API fairly easily, though. I imagine that other architectures may be in a similar position. Architectures with strong remote flush primitives (arm64?) may have even worse performance problems with flush_tlb_others() the way that try_to_unmap_flush() uses it.

With investigation, skipping page of isolate_lru_pages makes reclaim
void because it returns zero nr_taken easily so LRU shrinking is
effectively nothing and just increases priority aggressively. Finally,
OOM happens.
The problem is that get_scan_count determines nr_to_scan with eligible
zones so although priority drops to zero, it couldn't reclaim any pages
if the LRU contains mostly ineligible pages.
get_scan_count:
size = lruvec_lru_size(lruvec, lru, sc->reclaim_idx);
size = size >> sc->priority;
Assumes sc->priority is 0 and LRU list is as follows.
N-N-N-N-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H
(Ie, small eligible pages are in the head of LRU but others are
almost ineligible pages)
In that case, size becomes 4 so VM want to scan 4 pages but 4 pages from
tail of the LRU are not eligible pages. If get_scan_count counts
skipped pages, it doesn't reclaim any pages remained after scanning 4
pages so it ends up OOM happening.
This patch makes isolate_lru_pages try to scan pages until it encounters
eligible zones's pages.

mm: fix data corruption due to stale mmap reads
Currently, we didn't invalidate page tables during invalidate_inode_pages2()
for DAX. That could result in e.g. 2MiB zero page being mapped into
page tables while there were already underlying blocks allocated and
thus data seen through mmap were different from data seen by read(2).
The following sequence reproduces the problem:
- open an mmap over a 2MiB hole
- read from a 2MiB hole, faulting in a 2MiB zero page
- write to the hole with write(3p). The write succeeds but we
incorrectly leave the 2MiB zero page mapping intact.
- via the mmap, read the data that was just written. Since the zero
page mapping is still intact we read back zeroes instead of the new
data.
Fix the problem by unconditionally calling invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
in dax_iomap_actor() for new block allocations and by properly
invalidating page tables in invalidate_inode_pages2_range() for DAX
mappings.

dax: prevent invalidation of mapped DAX entries
Patch series "mm,dax: Fix data corruption due to mmap inconsistency",
v4.
This series fixes data corruption that can happen for DAX mounts when
page faults race with write(2) and as a result page tables get out of
sync with block mappings in the filesystem and thus data seen through
mmap is different from data seen through read(2).
The series passes testing with t_mmap_stale test program from Ross and
also other mmap related tests on DAX filesystem.
This patch (of 4):
dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() currently removes DAX exceptional entries
only if they are clean and unlocked. This is done via:
invalidate_mapping_pages()
invalidate_exceptional_entry()
dax_invalidate_mapping_entry()
However, for page cache pages removed in invalidate_mapping_pages()
there is an additional criteria which is that the page must not be
mapped. This is noted in the comments above invalidate_mapping_pages()
and is checked in invalidate_inode_page().
For DAX entries this means that we can can end up in a situation where a
DAX exceptional entry, either a huge zero page or a regular DAX entry,
could end up mapped but without an associated radix tree entry. This is
inconsistent with the rest of the DAX code and with what happens in the
page cache case.
We aren't able to unmap the DAX exceptional entry because according to
its comments invalidate_mapping_pages() isn't allowed to block, and
unmap_mapping_range() takes a write lock on the mapping->i_mmap_rwsem.
Since we essentially never have unmapped DAX entries to evict from the
radix tree, just remove dax_invalidate_mapping_entry().

mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}
The previous patch ("mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC") has shown that simply setting and clearing PF_MEMALLOC in current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and potentially lead to recursive reclaim. Let's introduce helpers that support proper nesting by saving the previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_* helpers. Convert existing setting/clearing of PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers. There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes it more robust.

mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to clearing PF_MEMALLOC
Patch series "more robust PF_MEMALLOC handling" This series aims to unify the setting and clearing of PF_MEMALLOC, which prevents recursive reclaim. There are some places that clear the flag unconditionally from current->flags, which may result in clearing a pre-existing flag. This already resulted in a bug report that Patch 1 fixes (without the new helpers, to make backporting easier). Patch 2 introduces the new helpers, modelled after existing memalloc_noio_* and memalloc_nofs_* helpers, and converts mm core to use them. Patches 3 and 4 convert non-mm code. This patch (of 4): __alloc_pages_direct_compact() sets PF_MEMALLOC to prevent deadlock during page migration by lock_page() (see the comment in __unmap_and_move()). Then it unconditionally clears the flag, which can clear a pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and result in recursive reclaim. This was not a problem until commit |

mm/huge_memory.c: deposit a pgtable for DAX PMD faults when required
Although all architectures use a deposited page table for THP on anonymous VMAs, some architectures (s390 and powerpc) require the deposited storage even for file backed VMAs due to quirks of their MMUs. This patch adds support for depositing a table in DAX PMD fault handling path for archs that require it. Other architectures should see no functional changes.

mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying allocation. This API is quite popular $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l 77 The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily too complex. This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM are simplified and drop the flag.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures
Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures, such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail. But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc() firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed. In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation. From Dave Hansen: "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less fragmentation. The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to allocate the contiguous pages successfully. The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed, because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for it. That makes it a little harder to change.

treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants
There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g. allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc. On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens though. This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because they are more conservative.

mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users
__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by "mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given range belongs to vmalloc as a caller: 0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3 0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.

mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers
Patch series "kvmalloc", v5. There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc fallback is available. As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory subsystem proper. Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet was not opposed [2] to convert them as well. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com This patch (of 9): Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive user visible action. This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g. ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be fixed separately. While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there. kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die slowly.

mm, compaction: finish whole pageblock to reduce fragmentation
The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when possible. Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block. Instead there might be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase long-term fragmentation. To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even though the high-order page already exists. Note that it might be possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that. This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in a migratetype fallback. (Async compaction also eagerly skips order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.) As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be reduced. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 20%.

mm, compaction: restrict async compaction to pageblocks of same migratetype
The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks. This is a heuristic intended to reduce latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are unlikely to contain movable pages. However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are not movable. Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse. This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the requested migratetype. If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need for a fallback. If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore this restriction. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 30%. The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by 12%.

mm, page_alloc: count movable pages when stealing from pageblock
When stealing pages from pageblock of a different migratetype, we count how many free pages were stolen, and change the pageblock's migratetype if more than half of the pageblock was free. This might be too conservative, as there might be other pages that are not free, but were allocated with the same migratetype as our allocation requested. While we cannot determine the migratetype of allocated pages precisely (at least without the page_owner functionality enabled), we can count pages that compaction would try to isolate for migration - those are either on LRU or __PageMovable(). The rest can be assumed to be MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE or MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE, which we cannot easily distinguish. This counting can be done as part of free page stealing with little additional overhead. The page stealing code is changed so that it considers free pages plus pages of the "good" migratetype for the decision whether to change pageblock's migratetype. The result should be more accurate migratetype of pageblocks wrt the actual pages in the pageblocks, when stealing from semi-occupied pageblocks. This should help the efficiency of page grouping by mobility. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 47%. The number of movable allocations falling back to other pageblocks are increased by 55%, but these events don't cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff should be positive. Later patches also offset the movable fallback increase to some extent.

mm, page_alloc: split smallest stolen page in fallback
The __rmqueue_fallback() function is called when there's no free page of requested migratetype, and we need to steal from a different one. There are various heuristics to make this event infrequent and reduce permanent fragmentation. The main one is to try stealing from a pageblock that has the most free pages, and possibly steal them all at once and convert the whole pageblock. Precise searching for such pageblock would be expensive, so instead the heuristics walks the free lists from MAX_ORDER down to requested order and assumes that the block with highest-order free page is likely to also have the most free pages in total. Chances are that together with the highest-order page, we steal also pages of lower orders from the same block. But then we still split the highest order page. This is wasteful and can contribute to fragmentation instead of avoiding it. This patch thus changes __rmqueue_fallback() to just steal the page(s) and put them on the freelist of the requested migratetype, and only report whether it was successful. Then we pick (and eventually split) the smallest page with __rmqueue_smallest(). This all happens under zone lock, so nobody can steal it from us in the process. This should reduce fragmentation due to fallbacks. At worst we are only stealing a single highest-order page and waste some cycles by moving it between lists and then removing it, but fallback is not exactly hot path so that should not be a concern. As a side benefit the patch removes some duplicate code by reusing __rmqueue_smallest().

mm, compaction: remove redundant watermark check in compact_finished()
When detecting whether compaction has succeeded in forming a high-order page, __compact_finished() employs a watermark check, followed by an own search for a suitable page in the freelists. This is not ideal for two reasons: - The watermark check also searches high-order freelists, but has a less strict criteria wrt fallback. It's therefore redundant and waste of cycles. This was different in the past when high-order watermark check attempted to apply reserves to high-order pages. - The watermark check might actually fail due to lack of order-0 pages. Compaction can't help with that, so there's no point in continuing because of that. It's possible that high-order page still exists and it terminates. This patch therefore removes the watermark check. This should save some cycles and terminate compaction sooner in some cases.

mm, compaction: reorder fields in struct compact_control
Patch series "try to reduce fragmenting fallbacks", v3. Last year, Johannes Weiner has reported a regression in page mobility grouping [1] and while the exact cause was not found, I've come up with some ways to improve it by reducing the number of allocations falling back to different migratetype and causing permanent fragmentation. The series was tested with mmtests stress-highalloc modified to do GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, on 4.9 with "mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep" (without that, kcompactd indeed wasn't woken up) on UMA machine with 4GB memory. There were 5 repeats of each run, as the extfrag stats are quite volatile (note the stats below are sums, not averages, as it was less perl hacking for me). Success rate are the same, already high due to the low allocation order used, so I'm not including them. Compaction stats: (the patches are stacked, and I haven't measured the non-functional-changes patches separately) patch 1 patch 2 patch 3 patch 4 patch 7 patch 8 Compaction stalls 22449 24680 24846 19765 22059 17480 Compaction success 12971 14836 14608 10475 11632 8757 Compaction failures 9477 9843 10238 9290 10426 8722 Page migrate success 3109022 3370438 3312164 1695105 1608435 2111379 Page migrate failure 911588 1149065 1028264 1112675 1077251 1026367 Compaction pages isolated 7242983 8015530 7782467 4629063 4402787 5377665 Compaction migrate scanned 980838938 987367943 957690188 917647238 947155598 1018922197 Compaction free scanned 557926893 598946443 602236894 594024490 541169699 763651731 Compaction cost 10243 10578 10304 8286 8398 9440 Compaction stats are mostly within noise until patch 4, which decreases the number of compactions, and migrations. Part of that could be due to more pageblocks marked as unmovable, and async compaction skipping those. This changes a bit with patch 7, but not so much. Patch 8 increases free scanner stats and migrations, which comes from the changed termination criteria. Interestingly number of compactions decreases - probably the fully compacted pageblock satisfies multiple subsequent allocations, so it amortizes. Next comes the extfrag tracepoint, where "fragmenting" means that an allocation had to fallback to a pageblock of another migratetype which wasn't fully free (which is almost all of the fallbacks). I have locally added another tracepoint for "Page steal" into steal_suitable_fallback() which triggers in situations where we are allowed to do move_freepages_block(). If we decide to also do set_pageblock_migratetype(), it's "Pages steal with pageblock" with break down for which allocation migratetype we are stealing and from which fallback migratetype. The last part "due to counting" comes from patch 4 and counts the events where the counting of movable pages allowed us to change pageblock's migratetype, while the number of free pages alone wouldn't be enough to cross the threshold. patch 1 patch 2 patch 3 patch 4 patch 7 patch 8 Page alloc extfrag event 10155066 8522968 10164959 15622080 13727068 13140319 Extfrag fragmenting 10149231 8517025 10159040 15616925 13721391 13134792 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 159504 168500 184177 97835 70625 56948 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 153613 163549 172693 91740 64099 50917 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with reclaim. 5891 4951 11484 6095 6526 6031 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 4738 4829 6345 4822 5640 5378 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 1836 1902 1851 1579 1739 1760 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with unmov. 2902 2927 4494 3243 3901 3618 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 9984989 8343696 9968518 15514268 13645126 13072466 Pages steal 179954 192291 210880 123254 94545 81486 Pages steal with pageblock 22153 18943 20154 33562 29969 33444 Pages steal with pageblock for unmovable 14350 12858 13256 20660 19003 20852 Pages steal with pageblock for unmovable from mov. 12812 11402 11683 19072 17467 19298 Pages steal with pageblock for unmovable from recl. 1538 1456 1573 1588 1536 1554 Pages steal with pageblock for movable 7114 5489 5965 11787 10012 11493 Pages steal with pageblock for movable from unmov. 6885 5291 5541 11179 9525 10885 Pages steal with pageblock for movable from recl. 229 198 424 608 487 608 Pages steal with pageblock for reclaimable 689 596 933 1115 954 1099 Pages steal with pageblock for reclaimable from unmov. 273 219 537 658 547 667 Pages steal with pageblock for reclaimable from mov. 416 377 396 457 407 432 Pages steal with pageblock due to counting 11834 10075 7530 ... for unmovable 8993 7381 4616 ... for movable 2792 2653 2851 ... for reclaimable 49 41 63 What we can see is that "Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable" and "... placed with movable" drops with almost each patch, which is good as we are polluting less movable pageblocks with unmovable pages. The most significant change is patch 4 with movable page counting. On the other hand it increases "Extfrag fragmenting for movable" by 50%. "Pages steal" drops though, so these movable allocation fallbacks find only small free pages and are not allowed to steal whole pageblocks back. "Pages steal with pageblock" raises, because the patch increases the chances of pageblock migratetype changes to happen. This affects all migratetypes. The summary is that patch 4 is not a clear win wrt these stats, but I believe that the tradeoff it makes is a good one. There's less pollution of movable pageblocks by unmovable allocations. There's less stealing between pageblock, and those that remain have higher chance of changing migratetype also the pageblock itself, so it should more faithfully reflect the migratetype of the pages within the pageblock. The increase of movable allocations falling back to unmovable pageblock might look dramatic, but those allocations can be migrated by compaction when needed, and other patches in the series (7-9) improve that aspect. Patches 7 and 8 continue the trend of reduced unmovable fallbacks and also reduce the impact on movable fallbacks from patch 4. [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg114237.html This patch (of 8): While currently there are (mostly by accident) no holes in struct compact_control (on x86_64), but we are going to add more bool flags, so place them all together to the end of the structure. While at it, just order all fields from largest to smallest.

fix braino in generic_file_read_iter()
Wrong sign of iov_iter_revert() argument. Unfortunately, slipped through the testing, since most of the time we don't do anything to the iterator afterwards and potential oops on walking the iter->iov too far backwards is too infrequent to be easily triggered. Add a sanity check in iov_iter_revert() to catch bugs like this one; fortunately, the same braino hadn't happened in other callers, but we'd better have a warning if such thing crops up.

Staging/IIO patches for 4.12-rc1
Here is the big staging tree update for 4.12-rc1. And it's a big one, adding about 350k new lines of crap^Wcode, mostly all in a big dump of media drivers from Intel. But there's other new drivers in here as well, yet-another-wifi driver, new IIO drivers, and a new crypto accelerator. We also deleted a bunch of stuff, mostly in patch cleanups, but also the Android ION code has shrunk a lot, and the Android low memory killer driver was finally deleted, much to the celebration of the -mm developers. All of these have been in linux-next with a few build issues that will show up when you merge to your tree, I'll follow up with fixes for those after this gets merged.

mm: hwpoison: call shake_page() after try_to_unmap() for mlocked page
Memory error handler calls try_to_unmap() for error pages in various
states. If the error page is a mlocked page, error handling could fail
with "still referenced by 1 users" message. This is because the page is
linked to and stays in lru cache after the following call chain.
try_to_unmap_one
page_remove_rmap
clear_page_mlock
putback_lru_page
lru_cache_add
memory_failure() calls shake_page() to hanlde the similar issue, but
current code doesn't cover because shake_page() is called only before
try_to_unmap(). So this patches adds shake_page().

mm: hwpoison: call shake_page() unconditionally
shake_page() is called before going into core error handling code in
order to ensure that the error page is flushed from lru_cache lists
where pages stay during transferring among LRU lists.
But currently it's not fully functional because when the page is linked
to lru_cache by calling activate_page(), its PageLRU flag is set and
shake_page() is skipped. The result is to fail error handling with
"still referenced by 1 users" message.
When the page is linked to lru_cache by isolate_lru_page(), its PageLRU
is clear, so that's fine.
This patch makes shake_page() unconditionally called to avoild the
failure.

mm/gup.c: fix access_ok() argument type
MIPS just got changed to only accept a pointer argument for access_ok(),
causing one warning in drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c. I tried changing x86 the
same way and found the same warning in __get_user_pages_fast() and
nowhere else in the kernel during randconfig testing:
mm/gup.c: In function '__get_user_pages_fast':
mm/gup.c:1578:6: error: passing argument 1 of '__chk_range_not_ok' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror=int-conversion]
It would probably be a good idea to enforce type-safety in general, so
let's change this file to not cause a warning if we do that.
I don't know why the warning did not appear on MIPS.

fs: fix data invalidation in the cleancache during direct IO
Patch series "Properly invalidate data in the cleancache", v2.
We've noticed that after direct IO write, buffered read sometimes gets
stale data which is coming from the cleancache. The reason for this is
that some direct write hooks call call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]()
conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero, so we may not invalidate
data in the cleancache.
Another odd thing is that we check only for ->nrpages and don't check
for ->nrexceptional, but invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] also
invalidates exceptional entries as well. So we invalidate exceptional
entries only if ->nrpages != 0? This doesn't feel right.
- Patch 1 fixes direct IO writes by removing ->nrpages check.
- Patch 2 fixes similar case in invalidate_bdev().
Note: I only fixed conditional cleancache_invalidate_inode() here.
Do we also need to add ->nrexceptional check in into invalidate_bdev()?
- Patches 3-4: some optimizations.
This patch (of 4):
Some direct IO write fs hooks call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]()
conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero. This can't be right,
because invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() also invalidate data in the
cleancache via cleancache_invalidate_inode() call. So if page cache is
empty but there is some data in the cleancache, buffered read after
direct IO write would get stale data from the cleancache.
Also it doesn't feel right to check only for ->nrpages because
invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] invalidates exceptional entries as well.
Fix this by calling invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() regardless of
nrpages state.
Note: nfs,cifs,9p doesn't need similar fix because the never call
cleancache_get_page() (nor directly, nor via mpage_readpage[s]()), so
they are not affected by this bug.

mm/madvise.c: clean up MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON
This cleans up handling MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON called through madvise() system call. * madvise_memory_failure() was misleading to accommodate handling of both memory_failure() as well as soft_offline_page() functions. Basically it handles memory error injection from user space which can go either way as memory failure or soft offline.

mm: enable page poisoning early at boot
On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

mm, swap: avoid lock swap_avail_lock when held cluster lock
Cluster lock is used to protect the swap_cluster_info and corresponding elements in swap_info_struct->swap_map[]. But it is found that now in scan_swap_map_slots(), swap_avail_lock may be acquired when cluster lock is held. This does no good except making the locking more complex and improving the potential locking contention, because the swap_info_struct->lock is used to protect the data structure operated in the code already. Fix this via moving the corresponding operations in scan_swap_map_slots() out of cluster lock.

In 2002, [1] introduced SWAP_AGAIN. At that time, try_to_unmap_one used
spin_trylock(&mm->page_table_lock) so it's really easy to contend and
fail to hold a lock so SWAP_AGAIN to keep LRU status makes sense.
However, now we changed it to mutex-based lock and be able to block
without skip pte so there is few of small window to return SWAP_AGAIN so
remove SWAP_AGAIN and just return SWAP_FAIL.

mm/vmscan: more restrictive condition for retry in do_try_to_free_pages
By reviewing code, I find that when enter do_try_to_free_pages, the may_thrash is always clear, and it will retry shrink zones to tap cgroup's reserves memory by setting may_thrash when the former shrink_zones reclaim nothing. However, when memcg is disabled or on legacy hierarchy, or there do not have any memcg protected by low limit, it should not do this useless retry at all, for we do not have any cgroup's reserves memory to tap, and we have already done hard work but made no progress, which as Michal pointed out in former version, we are trying hard to control the retry logical of page alloctor, and the current additional round of reclaim is just lame. Therefore, to avoid this unneeded retrying and make code more readable, we remove the may_thrash field in scan_control, instead, introduce memcg_low_reclaim and memcg_low_skipped, and only retry when memcg_low_skipped, by setting memcg_low_reclaim.

mm: page_alloc: __GFP_NOWARN shouldn't suppress stall warnings
__GFP_NOWARN, which is usually added to avoid warnings from callsites that expect to fail and have fallbacks, currently also suppresses allocation stall warnings. These trigger when an allocation is stuck inside the allocator for 10 seconds or longer. But there is no class of allocations that can get legitimately stuck in the allocator for this long. This always indicates a problem. Always emit stall warnings. Restrict __GFP_NOWARN to alloc failures.

mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idx
kswapd is woken to reclaim a node based on a failed allocation request
from any eligible zone. Once reclaiming in balance_pgdat(), it will
continue reclaiming until there is an eligible zone available for the
zone it was woken for. kswapd tracks what zone it was recently woken
for in pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx. If it has not been woken recently,
this zone will be 0.
However, the decision on whether to sleep is made on
kswapd_classzone_idx which is 0 without a recent wakeup request and that
classzone does not account for lowmem reserves. This allows kswapd to
sleep when a low small zone such as ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA
request even if a stream of allocations cannot use that zone. While
kswapd may be woken again shortly in the near future there are two
consequences -- the pgdat bits that control congestion are cleared
prematurely and direct reclaim is more likely as kswapd slept
prematurely.
This patch flips kswapd_classzone_idx to default to MAX_NR_ZONES (an
invalid index) when there has been no recent wakeups. If there are no
wakeups, it'll decide whether to sleep based on the highest possible
zone available (MAX_NR_ZONES - 1). It then becomes critical that the
"pgdat balanced" decisions during reclaim and when deciding to sleep are
the same. If there is a mismatch, kswapd can stay awake continually
trying to balance tiny zones.
simoop was used to evaluate it again. Two of the preparation patches
regressed the workload so they are included as the second set of
results. Otherwise this patch looks artifically excellent

noting that this is mostly due to the IO scheduler and not directly

mm, vmscan: only clear pgdat congested/dirty/writeback state when balanced
A pgdat tracks if recent reclaim encountered too many dirty, writeback or congested pages. The flags control whether kswapd writes pages back from reclaim context, tags pages for immediate reclaim when IO completes, whether processes block on wait_iff_congested and whether kswapd blocks when too many pages marked for immediate reclaim are encountered. The state is cleared in a check function with side-effects. With the patch "mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep", the timing of when the bits get cleared changed. Due to the way the check works, it'll clear the bits if ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA allocation because it does not account for lowmem reserves properly. For the simoop workload, kswapd is not stalling when it should due to the premature clearing, writing pages from reclaim context like crazy and generally being unhelpful. This patch resets the pgdat bits related to page reclaim only when kswapd is going to sleep.

mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep
Patch series "Reduce amount of time kswapd sleeps prematurely", v2. The series is unusual in that the first patch fixes one problem and introduces other issues that are noted in the changelog. Patch 2 makes a minor modification that is worth considering on its own but leaves the kernel in a state where it behaves badly. It's not until patch 3 that there is an improvement against baseline. This was mostly motivated by examining Chris Mason's "simoop" benchmark which puts the VM under similar pressure to HADOOP. It has been reported that the benchmark has regressed severely during the last number of releases. While I cannot reproduce all the same problems Chris experienced due to hardware limitations, there was a number of problems on a 2-socket machine with a single disk. simoop latencies 4.11.0-rc1 4.11.0-rc1 vanilla keepawake-v2 Amean p50-Read 21670074.18 ( 0.00%) 22668332.52 ( -4.61%) Amean p95-Read 25456267.64 ( 0.00%) 26738688.00 ( -5.04%) Amean p99-Read 29369064.73 ( 0.00%) 30991404.52 ( -5.52%) Amean p50-Write 1390.30 ( 0.00%) 924.91 ( 33.47%) Amean p95-Write 412901.57 ( 0.00%) 1362.62 ( 99.67%) Amean p99-Write 6668722.09 ( 0.00%) 16854.04 ( 99.75%) Amean p50-Allocation 78714.31 ( 0.00%) 74729.74 ( 5.06%) Amean p95-Allocation 175533.51 ( 0.00%) 101609.74 ( 42.11%) Amean p99-Allocation 247003.02 ( 0.00%) 125765.57 ( 49.08%) These are latencies. Read/write are threads reading fixed-size random blocks from a simulated database. The allocation latency is mmaping and faulting regions of memory. The p50, 95 and p99 reports the worst latencies for 50% of the samples, 95% and 99% respectively. For example, the report indicates that while the test was running 99% of writes completed 99.75% faster. It's worth noting that on a UMA machine that no difference in performance with simoop was observed so milage will vary. It's noted that there is a slight impact to read latencies but it's mostly due to IO scheduler decisions and offset by the large reduction in other latencies. This patch (of 3): The check in prepare_kswapd_sleep needs to match the one in balance_pgdat since the latter will return as soon as any one of the zones in the classzone is above the watermark. This is specially important for higher order allocations since balance_pgdat will typically reset the order to zero relying on compaction to create the higher order pages. Without this patch, prepare_kswapd_sleep fails to wake up kcompactd since the zone balance check fails. It was first reported against 4.9.7 that kswapd is failing to wake up kcompactd due to a mismatch in the zone balance check between balance_pgdat() and prepare_kswapd_sleep(). balance_pgdat() returns as soon as a single zone satisfies the allocation but prepare_kswapd_sleep() requires all zones to do +the same. This causes prepare_kswapd_sleep() to never succeed except in the order == 0 case and consequently, wakeup_kcompactd() is never called. For the machine that originally motivated this patch, the state of compaction from /proc/vmstat looked this way after a day and a half +of uptime: compact_migrate_scanned 240496 compact_free_scanned 76238632 compact_isolated 123472 compact_stall 1791 compact_fail 29 compact_success 1762 compact_daemon_wake 0 After applying the patch and about 10 hours of uptime the state looks like this: compact_migrate_scanned 59927299 compact_free_scanned 2021075136 compact_isolated 640926 compact_stall 4 compact_fail 2 compact_success 2 compact_daemon_wake 5160 Further notes from Mel that motivated him to pick this patch up and resend it; It was observed for the simoop workload (pressures the VM similar to HADOOP) that kswapd was failing to keep ahead of direct reclaim. The investigation noted that there was a need to rationalise kswapd decisions to reclaim with kswapd decisions to sleep. With this patch on a 2-socket box, there was a 49% reduction in direct reclaim scanning. However, the impact otherwise is extremely negative. Kswapd reclaim efficiency dropped from 98% to 76%. simoop has three latency-related metrics for read, write and allocation (an anonymous mmap and fault). 4.11.0-rc1 4.11.0-rc1 vanilla fixcheck-v2 Amean p50-Read 21670074.18 ( 0.00%) 20464344.18 ( 5.56%) Amean p95-Read 25456267.64 ( 0.00%) 25721423.64 ( -1.04%) Amean p99-Read 29369064.73 ( 0.00%) 30174230.76 ( -2.74%) Amean p50-Write 1390.30 ( 0.00%) 1395.28 ( -0.36%) Amean p95-Write 412901.57 ( 0.00%) 37737.74 ( 90.86%) Amean p99-Write 6668722.09 ( 0.00%) 666489.04 ( 90.01%) Amean p50-Allocation 78714.31 ( 0.00%) 86286.22 ( -9.62%) Amean p95-Allocation 175533.51 ( 0.00%) 351812.27 (-100.42%) Amean p99-Allocation 247003.02 ( 0.00%) 6291171.56 (-2447.00%) Of greater concern is that the patch causes swapping and page writes from kswapd context rose from 0 pages to 4189753 pages during the hour the workload ran for. By and large, the patch has very bad behaviour but easily missed as the impact on a UMA machine is negligible. This patch is included with the data in case a bisection leads to this area. This patch is also a pre-requisite for the rest of the series.

mm: do not use double negation for testing page flags
With the discussion[1], I found it seems there are every PageFlags functions return bool at this moment so we don't need double negation any more. Although it's not a problem to keep it, it makes future users confused to use double negation for them, too. Remove such possibility.

mm: tighten up the fault path a little
The round_up() macro generates a couple of unnecessary instructions in this usage: 48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax 48d1: 48 83 e8 01 sub $0x1,%rax 48d5: 48 0d ff 0f 00 00 or $0xfff,%rax 48db: 48 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%rax 48df: 48 c1 f8 0c sar $0xc,%rax 48e3: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx 48e6: 72 2e jb 4916 <filemap_fault+0x96> If we change round_up() to ((x) + __round_mask(x, y)) & ~__round_mask(x, y) then GCC can see through it and remove the mask (because that would be dead code given the subsequent shift): 48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax 48d1: 48 05 ff 0f 00 00 add $0xfff,%rax 48d7: 48 c1 e8 0c shr $0xc,%rax 48db: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx 48de: 72 2e jb 490e <filemap_fault+0x8e> But that's problematic because we'd evaluate 'y' twice. Converting round_up into an inline function prevents it from being used in other definitions. The easiest thing to do is just change these three usages of round_up to use DIV_ROUND_UP. Also add an unlikely() because GCC's heuristic is wrong in this case.

mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API
GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently: - to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation context would be needed during the memory reclaim - to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the allocation is performed from a deep context already - to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly - just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV - silence lockdep false positives Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to the MM. Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the FS layer. In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used and so it might be used unnecessarily. We would like to get rid of those as much as possible. One way to do that is to use the flag in scopes rather than isolated cases. Such a scope is declared when really necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic. Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g. crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey the allocation context between the layers. Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of GFP_NOFS allocation context. This is basically copying memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation context GFP_NOIO. The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently. There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it. PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO. memalloc_noio_flags is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts. Xfs code paths preserve their semantic. kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag anymore. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes. Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp. ~__GFP_FS) usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

mm, vmstat: suppress pcp stats for unpopulated zones in zoneinfo
After "mm, vmstat: print non-populated zones in zoneinfo", /proc/zoneinfo will show unpopulated zones. The per-cpu pageset statistics are not relevant for unpopulated zones and can be potentially lengthy, so supress them when they are not interesting. Also moves lowmem reserve protection information above pcp stats since it is relevant for all zones per vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio.

mm, vmstat: print non-populated zones in zoneinfo
Initscripts can use the information (protection levels) from /proc/zoneinfo to configure vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio at boot. vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array of ratios for each configured zone on the system. If a zone is not populated on an arch, /proc/zoneinfo suppresses its output. This results in there not being a 1:1 mapping between the set of zones emitted by /proc/zoneinfo and the zones configured by vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio. This patch shows statistics for non-populated zones in /proc/zoneinfo. The zones exist and hold a spot in the vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio array. Without this patch, it is not possible to determine which index in the array controls which zone if one or more zones on the system are not populated. Remaining users of walk_zones_in_node() are unchanged. Files such as /proc/pagetypeinfo require certain zone data to be initialized properly for display, which is not done for unpopulated zones.

mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache()
Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing page information later. But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock (or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap entry. So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be changed in another thread. If the page swap count is not 0, we should not delete the page from the swap cache. This is fixed via checking page swap count again after acquiring the page lock. I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race via a test program. If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page. That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance regression.

mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages
When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages. If the pages are not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately. Otherwise we can't reclaim them. We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal swapout way. We use normal page reclaim policy. Since MADV_FREE pages are put into inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed according to their age. This is expected, because we don't want to reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

mm: move MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list
madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'. They are still anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout. To distinguish these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag. MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages. To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is suggested by Johannes. This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it. The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

mm: delete unnecessary TTU_* flags
Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5. We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc. Several issues are found. Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature. - Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off, we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent our setup using MADV_FREE. - Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages, because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it. - Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting. MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily. To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes). The patchset use the second idea. The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. So we can still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference with other anon and active file pages. Putting the pages into inactive file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages. MADV_FREE pages are put into the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) && !PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages. These pages will directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap will reclaim them. For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages. The problem is we never get accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are mapped to userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side. To get accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay. Jemalloc guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops the accounting patches temporarily. The info exported to /proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we can get accurate accounting right now. This patch (of 6): Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary. It's true because we always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap. For cases we don't do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run. Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary. If no other flags set (for example, TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied. The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal code Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4be3ea1bc56b26fd98a54d0a6f70bec63f6d8980.1487965799.git.shli@fb.com Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Suggested-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Hillf Danton <hillf.zj@alibaba-inc.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: remove unnecessary back-off function when retrying page reclaim
The backoff mechanism is not needed. If we have MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES loops without progress, we'll OOM anyway; backing off might cut one or two iterations off that in the rare OOM case. If we have intermittent success reclaiming a few pages, the backoff function gets reset also, and so is of little help in these scenarios. We might want a backoff function for when there IS progress, but not enough to be satisfactory. But this isn't that. Remove it.

mm: delete NR_PAGES_SCANNED and pgdat_reclaimable()
NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free event in the allocator. This was used primarily to measure the reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should give up on them. In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding patches by a different mechanism. Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically exported to userspace as well. It's however unlikely that anyone outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way. Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodes
Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".
Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage. We have seen similar cases at Facebook.
The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages. In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met. Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.
This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs. This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer. If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.
Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.
Patch #6 is the odd one out. It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.
If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.
This patch (of 9):
Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:
$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
top - 13:42:59 up 3:37, 1 user, load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01

76 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3
At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.
Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance. Up until

slab: avoid IPIs when creating kmem caches
Each slab kmem cache has per cpu array caches. The array caches are created when the kmem_cache is created, either via kmem_cache_create() or lazily when the first object is allocated in context of a kmem enabled memcg. Array caches are replaced by writing to /proc/slabinfo. Array caches are protected by holding slab_mutex or disabling interrupts. Array cache allocation and replacement is done by __do_tune_cpucache() which holds slab_mutex and calls kick_all_cpus_sync() to interrupt all remote processors which confirms there are no references to the old array caches. IPIs are needed when replacing array caches. But when creating a new array cache, there's no need to send IPIs because there cannot be any references to the new cache. Outside of memcg kmem accounting these IPIs occur at boot time, so they're not a problem. But with memcg kmem accounting each container can create kmem caches, so the IPIs are wasteful. Avoid unnecessary IPIs when creating array caches. Test which reports the IPI count of allocating slab in 10000 memcg: import os def ipi_count(): with open("/proc/interrupts") as f: for l in f: if 'Function call interrupts' in l: return int(l.split()[1]) def echo(val, path): with open(path, "w") as f: f.write(val) n = 10000 os.chdir("/mnt/cgroup/memory") pid = str(os.getpid()) a = ipi_count() for i in range(n): os.mkdir(str(i)) echo("1G\n", "%d/memory.limit_in_bytes" % i) echo("1G\n", "%d/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes" % i) echo(pid, "%d/cgroup.procs" % i) open("/tmp/x", "w").close() os.unlink("/tmp/x") b = ipi_count() print "%d loops: %d => %d (+%d ipis)" % (n, a, b, b-a) echo(pid, "cgroup.procs") for i in range(n): os.rmdir(str(i)) patched: 10000 loops: 1069 => 1170 (+101 ipis) unpatched: 10000 loops: 1192 => 48933 (+47741 ipis) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170416214544.109476-1-gthelen@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Acked-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

Removing dead code in drivers is the next step" Notes from previous discussion about this: "The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC, it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly. Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now Microchip). Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not received any patches since the last release from Atmel; 4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack. Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today, if anybody at all" That discussion was acked by Andy Shevchenko, Boris Brezillon, Nicolas Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32: mm: remove AVR32 arch special handling in mm/Kconfig lib: remove check for AVR32 arch in test_user_copy lib: remove AVR32 entry in Kconfig.debug compile with frame pointers scripts: remove AVR32 support from checkstack.pl docs: remove all references to AVR32 architecture avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture |

BFQ was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness. From Paolo. - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler, using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar. - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life times, solving various problems with hot removal. - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a 'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block device. - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef. - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for more than a decade. - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar. - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is marked experimental for now. - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size IO. - A few fixes for opal, from Scott. - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.

On top of being a nice cleanup, it also shrinks the size of struct request a bit. - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph.

mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page() with a single reference to fix pmem crash
The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good. The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86 get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures. (The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.) But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on. One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.) So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into __put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery: Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap() reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the page to drop that reference. This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(), since it now maintains its own elevated reference. This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going forward.

mm: retry writepages() on ENOMEM when doing an data integrity writeback
Currently, file system's writepages() function must not fail with an ENOMEM, since if they do, it's possible for buffered data to be lost. This is because on a data integrity writeback writepages() gets called but once, and if it returns ENOMEM, if you're lucky the error will get reflected back to the userspace process calling fsync(). If you aren't lucky, the user is unmounting the file system, and the dirty pages will simply be lost. For this reason, file system code generally will use GFP_NOFS, and in some cases, will retry the allocation in a loop, on the theory that "kernel livelocks are temporary; data loss is forever". Unfortunately, this can indeed cause livelocks, since inside the writepages() call, the file system is holding various mutexes, and these mutexes may prevent the OOM killer from killing its targetted victim if it is also holding on to those mutexes. A better solution would be to allow writepages() to call the memory allocator with flags that give greater latitude to the allocator to fail, and then release its locks and return ENOMEM, and in the case of background writeback, the writes can be retried at a later time. In the case of data-integrity writeback retry after waiting a brief amount of time. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> |
