Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when
struct page initialisation was deferred. One approach is to initialise
memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths. This patch
creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup. It
then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter
is overkill. This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and
also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the
initialisation.

mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was
introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked.
Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was
spent on checking this for every page. The cost could be reduced but in
practice this check only found problems very early during the
initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since. This patch removes an
expensive unnecessary check.

Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this
patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel.
This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and
initialising data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on
large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early
in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is
initialised in the kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other
user-visibile effects.

__early_pfn_to_nid() use static variables to cache recent lookups as
memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory
initialisation is single-threaded. Parallel initialisation of struct
pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid()
SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information.
early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early
in boot due to the use of a global static variable. meminit_pfn_in_nid()
is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used. This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.
After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine
[ 7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
[ 7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
[ 7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
[ 7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
On a 1TB machine, I see
[ 8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
[ 8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
[ 8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
[ 8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again. In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.
Nate Zimmer said:
: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as
: measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484
: seconds to exactly 1000 seconds.
Waiman Long said:
: I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system. From
: grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s
: after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%).
Daniel Blueman said:
: On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing
: stock 4.0 boot in 7136s. This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with
: this patchset. Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350)
: drops this to 1045s.
This patch (of 13):
As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.
This helper function will be used for that expansion.

The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86

Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion

helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate

Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

Remove zpool_evict() helper function. As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.
Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function. However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page. This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

Since commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.
This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.
The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g. MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes. However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.
In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does. If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations. The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.
The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.
> numactl --hardware

Before the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.197 s/loop, 0.276 ms/page, 7249.168 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1786 different pages

transhuge-stress: 2.962 s/loop, 0.372 ms/page, 5376.172 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3873 different pages
Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".
After the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.183 s/loop, 0.274 ms/page, 7295.516 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1760 different pages

transhuge-stress: 4.628 s/loop, 0.581 ms/page, 3440.893 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3918 different pages
The -p parameter is respected regardless of cpu binding.
> numactl -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.202 s/loop, 0.277 ms/page, 7230.003 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1750 different pages

transhuge-stress: 3.020 s/loop, 0.379 ms/page, 5273.324 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3916 different pages
Without -p parameter, hugepage restriction to CPU-local node works as before.

One of the rocksdb people noticed that when you do something like this
fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, 0, 10M)
pwrite(fd, buf, 5M, 0)
ftruncate(5M)
on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun
issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be
getting ENOSPC. This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the
other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF).
I tested it locally to make sure it worked properly with the following
xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 10M" -c "pwrite 0 5M" -c "truncate 5M" file
Without the patch we have "Blocks: 20480", with the patch we have the
correct value of "Blocks: 10240".

The cause is the last region was missed at the and of hot add memory,
and p_start, p_end, node_start were not reset, so when hot add memory to
a new node, it will consider they are not contiguous blocks and print
the previous one. So we print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot
add memory to avoid the confusion.

The kmemleak memory scanning uses finer grained object->lock spinlocks
primarily to avoid races with the memory block freeing. However, the
pointer lookup in the rb tree requires the kmemleak_lock to be held.
This is currently done in the find_and_get_object() function for each
pointer-like location read during scanning. While this allows a low
latency on kmemleak_*() callbacks on other CPUs, the memory scanning is
slower.
This patch moves the kmemleak_lock outside the scan_block() loop,
acquiring/releasing it only once per scanned memory block. The
allow_resched logic is moved outside scan_block() and a new
scan_large_block() function is implemented which splits large blocks in
MAX_SCAN_SIZE chunks with cond_resched() calls in-between. A redundant
(object->flags & OBJECT_NO_SCAN) check is also removed from
scan_object().
With this patch, the kmemleak scanning performance is significantly
improved: at least 50% with lock debugging disabled and over an order of
magnitude with lock proving enabled (on an arm64 system).

While very unlikely (usually kmemleak or sl*b bug), the create_object()
function in mm/kmemleak.c may fail to insert a newly allocated object into
the rb tree. When this happens, kmemleak disables itself and prints
additional information about the object already found in the rb tree.
Such printing is done with the parent->lock acquired, however the
kmemleak_lock is already held. This is a potential race with the scanning
thread which acquires object->lock and kmemleak_lock in a
This patch removes the locking around the 'parent' object information
printing. Such object cannot be freed or removed from object_tree_root
and object_list since kmemleak_lock is already held. There is a very
small risk that some of the object data is being modified on another CPU
but the only downside is inconsistent information printing.

Calling delete_object_*() on the same pointer is not a standard use case
(unless there is a bug in the code calling kmemleak_free()). However,
during kmemleak disabling (error or user triggered via /sys), there is a
potential race between kmemleak_free() calls on a CPU and
__kmemleak_do_cleanup() on a different CPU.
The current delete_object_*() implementation first performs a look-up
holding kmemleak_lock, increments the object->use_count and then
re-acquires kmemleak_lock to remove the object from object_tree_root and
object_list.
This patch simplifies the delete_object_*() mechanism to both look up
and remove an object from the object_tree_root and object_list
atomically (guarded by kmemleak_lock). This allows safe concurrent
calls to delete_object_*() on the same pointer without additional
locking for synchronising the kmemleak_free_enabled flag.
A side effect is a slight improvement in the delete_object_*() performance
by avoiding acquiring kmemleak_lock twice and incrementing/decrementing
object->use_count.

The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes. Callbacks like
kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care
of by the object->lock spinlock. Such lock also prevents a memory block
from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the
kmemleak_free() -> ... -> __delete_object() function until the lock is
released in scan_object().
When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g. it fails to allocate its metadata),
kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on
freed objects. If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time,
kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete,
allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the
case of vfree()). This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a
page fault.
This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the
overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the
object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed. The
kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is
only called during boot before the scanning thread started.

memcg->under_oom tracks whether the memcg is under OOM conditions and is
an atomic_t counter managed with mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom(). While
atomic_t appears to be simple synchronization-wise, when used as a
synchronization construct like here, it's trickier and more error-prone
due to weak memory ordering rules, especially around atomic_read(), and
false sense of security.
For example, both non-trivial read sites of memcg->under_oom are a bit
problematic although not being actually broken.
* mem_cgroup_oom_register_event()
It isn't explicit what guarantees the memory ordering between event
addition and memcg->under_oom check. This isn't broken only because
memcg_oom_lock is used for both event list and memcg->oom_lock.
* memcg_oom_recover()
The lockless test doesn't have any explanation why this would be
safe.
mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom() are very cold paths and there's no point
in avoiding locking memcg_oom_lock there. This patch converts
memcg->under_oom from atomic_t to int, puts their modifications under
memcg_oom_lock and documents why the lockless test in
memcg_oom_recover() is safe.

Change frontswap single pointer to a singly linked list of frontswap
implementations. Update Xen tmem implementation as register no longer
returns anything.
Frontswap only keeps track of a single implementation; any
implementation that registers second (or later) will replace the
previously registered implementation, and gets a pointer to the previous
implementation that the new implementation is expected to pass all
frontswap functions to if it can't handle the function itself. However
that method doesn't really make much sense, as passing that work on to
every implementation adds unnecessary work to implementations; instead,
frontswap should simply keep a list of all registered implementations
and try each implementation for any function. Most importantly, neither
of the two currently existing frontswap implementations in the kernel
actually do anything with any previous frontswap implementation that
they replace when registering.
This allows frontswap to successfully manage multiple implementations by
keeping a list of them all.

Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
memory.
If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.
By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures. 64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ... or about 1.5% of total
system memory. For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
allocated to the kernel.

Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).
But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.
Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.
Gen1: All memory is mirrored
Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
mirror
Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications
Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
Pro: Keep more of the capacity
Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance
Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
controller
Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
Con: I have to write memory management code to implement
The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:
1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
allocations
2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
page_alloc.c is scary).
This patch (of 3):
Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
attribute. No functional changes

page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and
__ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling
add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the
direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic.
This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use region_chg to calculate the
number of pages which will be added to the reserve map. Subpool and
global reserve counts are adjusted based on the output of region_chg.
Before the pages are actually added to the reserve map, these routines
could race and add fewer pages than expected. If this happens, the
subpool and global reserve counts are not correct.
Compare the number of pages actually added (region_add) to those expected
to added (region_chg). If fewer pages are actually added, this indicates
a race and adjust counters accordingly.

Modify region_add() to keep track of regions(pages) added to the reserve
map and return this value. The return value can be compared to the return
value of region_chg() to determine if the map was modified between calls.
Make vma_commit_reservation() also pass along the return value of
region_add(). In the normal case, we want vma_commit_reservation to
return the same value as the preceding call to vma_needs_reservation.
Create a common __vma_reservation_common routine to help keep the special
case return values in sync

While working on hugetlbfs fallocate support, I noticed the following race
in the existing code. It is unlikely that this race is hit very often in
the current code. However, if more functionality to add and remove pages
to hugetlbfs mappings (such as fallocate) is added the likelihood of
hitting this race will increase.
alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use information from the reserve
map to determine if there are enough available huge pages to complete the
operation, as well as adjust global reserve and subpool usage counts. The
order of operations is as follows:
- call region_chg() to determine the expected change based on reserve map
- determine if enough resources are available for this operation
- adjust global counts based on the expected change
- call region_add() to update the reserve map
The issue is that reserve map could change between the call to region_chg
and region_add. In this case, the counters which were adjusted based on
the output of region_chg will not be correct.
In order to hit this race today, there must be an existing shared hugetlb
mmap created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. A page fault to allocate a huge
page via this mapping must occur at the same another task is mapping the
same region without the MAP_NORESERVE flag.
The patch set does not prevent the race from happening. Rather, it adds
simple functionality to detect when the race has occurred. If a race is
detected, then the incorrect counts are adjusted.
Review comments pointed out the need for documentation of the existing
region/reserve map routines. This patch set also adds documentation in
this area.
This patch (of 3):
This is a documentation only patch and does not modify any code.
Descriptions of the routines used for reserve map/region tracking are
added.

kenter/kleave/kdebug are wrapper macros to print functions flow and debug

was controlled by "#if 0" construction. It is questionable if anyone is
using them [1] now.
This patch removes these macros, converts numerous printk(KERN_WARNING,

validate_mmap_request() function.

We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear. Add
_huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on
hugepage pte.
We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect,
pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence
indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes

Architectures like ppc64 [1] need to do special things while clearing pmd
before a collapse. For them this operation is largely different from a
normal hugepage pte clear. Hence add a separate function to clear pmd
before collapse. After this patch pmdp_* functions operate only on
hugepage pte, and not on regular pmd_t values pointing to page table.
[1] ppc64 needs to invalidate all the normal page pte mappings we already
have inserted in the hardware hash page table. But before doing that we
need to make sure there are no parallel hash page table insert going on.
So we need to do a kick_all_cpus_sync() before flushing the older hash
table entries. By moving this to a separate function we capture these
details and mention how it is different from a hugepage pte clear.
This patch is a cleanup and only does code movement for clarity. There
should not be any change in functionality.
