The defines and typedefs (hw_interrupt_type, no_irq_type, irq_desc_t) have been kept around for migration reasons. After more than two years it's time to remove them finally. This patch cleans up one of the remaining users. When all such patches hit mainline we can remove the defines and typedefs finally. Impact: cleanup Convert the last remaining users to struct irq_chip and remove the define.

At lumpy reclaim, a page failed to be taken by __isolate_lru_page() can be pushed back to "src" list by list_move(). But the page may not be from "src" list. This pushes the page back to wrong LRU. And list_move() itself is unnecessary because the page is not on top of LRU. Then, leave it as it is if __isolate_lru_page() fails.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning uselessly. Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to /proc/vmstat. If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. The problem is that zone_reclaim() failing at all means the zone gets marked full. This can cause situations where a zone is usable, but is being skipped because it has been considered full. Take a situation where a large tmpfs mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall. The pages do not get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future. This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about what occured when zone_reclaim() failued. The zone only gets marked full if it really is unreclaimable. If it's a case that the scan did not occur or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then the zone is simply skipped. There is a side-effect to this patch. Currently, if zone_reclaim() successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go ahead. With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after zone_reclaim() does some work. This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc ("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the zonelist_cache was introduced. It was not intended that zone_reclaim() aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct reclaim can still be an option. Due to the age of the bug, it should be considered a -stable candidate.

A bug was brought to my attention against a distro kernel but it affects mainline and I believe problems like this have been reported in various guises on the mailing lists although I don't have specific examples at the moment. The reported problem was that malloc() stalled for a long time (minutes in some cases) if a large tmpfs mount was occupying a large percentage of memory overall. The pages did not get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim() because the zone_reclaim_mode was unsuitable, but the lists are uselessly scanned frequencly making the CPU spin at near 100%. This patchset intends to address that bug and bring the behaviour of zone_reclaim() more in line with expectations which were noticed during investigation. It is based on top of mmotm and takes advantage of Kosaki's work with respect to zone_reclaim(). Patch 1 fixes the heuristics that zone_reclaim() uses to determine if the scan should go ahead. The broken heuristic is what was causing the malloc() stall as it uselessly scanned the LRU constantly. Currently, zone_reclaim is assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 and historically it could not deal with tmpfs pages at all. This fixes up the heuristic so that an unnecessary scan is more likely to be correctly avoided. Patch 2 notes that zone_reclaim() returning a failure automatically means the zone is marked full. This is not always true. It could have failed because the GFP mask or zone_reclaim_mode were unsuitable. Patch 3 introduces a counter zreclaim_failed that will increment each time the zone_reclaim scan-avoidance heuristics fail. If that counter is rapidly increasing, then zone_reclaim_mode should be set to 0 as a temporarily resolution and a bug reported because the scan-avoidance heuristic is still broken. This patch: On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but the problem is that the heuristic is not being properly applied and is basically assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 if it is enabled. The lack of proper detection can manfiest as high CPU usage as the LRU list is scanned uselessly. Historically, once enabled it was depending on NR_FILE_PAGES which may include swapcache pages that the reclaim_mode cannot deal with. Patch vmscan-change-the-number-of-the-unmapped-files-in-zone-reclaim.patch by Kosaki Motohiro noted that zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_PAGES) included pages that were not file-backed such as swapcache and made a calculation based on the inactive, active and mapped files. This is far superior when zone_reclaim==1 but if RECLAIM_SWAP is set, then NR_FILE_PAGES is a reasonable starting figure. This patch alters how zone_reclaim() works out how many pages it might be able to reclaim given the current reclaim_mode. If RECLAIM_SWAP is set in the reclaim_mode it will either consider NR_FILE_PAGES as potential candidates or else use NR_{IN}ACTIVE}_PAGES-NR_FILE_MAPPED to discount swapcache and other non-file-backed pages. If RECLAIM_WRITE is not set, then NR_FILE_DIRTY number of pages are not candidates. If RECLAIM_SWAP is not set, then NR_FILE_MAPPED are not.

1) I_FREEING tests should be coupled with I_CLEAR The two I_FREEING tests are racy because clear_inode() can set i_state to I_CLEAR between the clear of I_SYNC and the test of I_FREEING. 2) skip I_WILL_FREE inodes in generic_sync_sb_inodes() to avoid possible races with generic_forget_inode() generic_forget_inode() sets I_WILL_FREE call writeback on its own, so generic_sync_sb_inodes() shall not try to step in and create possible races: generic_forget_inode inode->i_state |= I_WILL_FREE; spin_unlock(&inode_lock); generic_sync_sb_inodes() spin_lock(&inode_lock); __iget(inode); __writeback_single_inode // see non zero i_count may WARN here ==> WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE); spin_unlock(&inode_lock); may call generic_forget_inode again ==> iput(inode); The above race and warning didn't turn up because writeback_inodes() holds the s_umount lock, so generic_forget_inode() finds MS_ACTIVE and returns early. But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will guarantee that. So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.

When a task is chosen for oom kill and is found to be PF_EXITING, __oom_kill_task() is called to elevate the task's timeslice and give it access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit. This privilege is unnecessary, however, if the task has already detached its mm. Although its possible for the mm to become detached later since task_lock() is not held, __oom_kill_task() will simply be a no-op in such circumstances. Subsequently, it is no longer necessary to warn about killing mm-less tasks since it is a no-op.

Commit 2e2e4259 ("vmscan,memcg: reintroduce sc->may_swap) add may_swap flag and handle it at get_scan_ratio(). But the result of get_scan_ratio() is ignored when priority == 0, so anon lru is scanned even if may_swap == 0 or nr_swap_pages == 0. IMHO, this is not an expected behavior. As for memcg especially, because of this behavior many and many pages are swapped-out just in vain when oom is invoked by mem+swap limit. This patch is for handling may_swap flag more strictly.

The "move pages to active list" and "move pages to inactive list" code blocks are mostly identical and can be served by a function. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out. Note that buffer_heads_over_limit check will also be carried out for re-activated pages, which is slightly different from pre-2.6.28 kernels. Also, Rik's "vmscan: evict use-once pages first" patch could totally stop scans of active file list when memory pressure is low. So the net effect could be, the number of buffer heads is now more likely to grow large. However that's fine according to Johannes' comments: I don't think that this could be harmful. We just preserve the buffer mappings of what we consider the working set and with low memory pressure, as you say, this set is not big. As to stripping of reactivated pages: the only pages we re-activate for now are those VM_EXEC mapped ones. Since we don't expect IO from or to these pages, removing the buffer mappings in case they grow too large should be okay, I guess.

Protect referenced PROT_EXEC mapped pages from being deactivated. PROT_EXEC(or its internal presentation VM_EXEC) pages normally belong to some currently running executables and their linked libraries, they shall really be cached aggressively to provide good user experiences. Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the advice to reuse the VMA walk in page_referenced() to get the PROT_EXEC bit. [more details] ( The consequences of this patch will have to be discussed together with Rik van Riel's recent patch "vmscan: evict use-once pages first". ) ( Some of the good points and insights are taken into this changelog. Thanks to all the involved people for the great LKML discussions. ) the problem =========== For a typical desktop, the most precious working set is composed of *actively accessed* (1) memory mapped executables (2) and their anonymous pages (3) and other files (4) and the dcache/icache/.. slabs while the least important data are (5) infrequently used or use-once files For a typical desktop, one major problem is busty and large amount of (5) use-once files flushing out the working set. Inside the working set, (4) dcache/icache have already been too sticky ;-) So we only have to care (2) anonymous and (1)(3) file pages. anonymous pages =============== Anonymous pages are effectively immune to the streaming IO attack, because we now have separate file/anon LRU lists. When the use-once files crowd into the file LRU, the list's "quality" is significantly lowered. Therefore the scan balance policy in get_scan_ratio() will choose to scan the (low quality) file LRU much more frequently than the anon LRU. file pages ========== Rik proposed to *not* scan the active file LRU when the inactive list grows larger than active list. This guarantees that when there are use-once streaming IO, and the working set is not too large(so that active_size < inactive_size), the active file LRU will *not* be scanned at all. So the not-too-large working set can be well protected. But there are also situations where the file working set is a bit large so that (active_size >= inactive_size), or the streaming IOs are not purely use-once. In these cases, the active list will be scanned slowly. Because the current shrink_active_list() policy is to deactivate active pages regardless of their referenced bits. The deactivated pages become susceptible to the streaming IO attack: the inactive list could be scanned fast (500MB / 50MBps = 10s) so that the deactivated pages don't have enough time to get re-referenced. Because a user tend to switch between windows in intervals from seconds to minutes. This patch holds mapped executable pages in the active list as long as they are referenced during each full scan of the active list. Because the active list is normally scanned much slower, they get longer grace time (eg. 100s) for further references, which better matches the pace of user operations. Therefore this patch greatly prolongs the in-cache time of executable code, when there are moderate memory pressures. before patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I after patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I+A (except when randomly reclaimed by the lumpy reclaim) where A = time to fully scan the active file LRU I = time to fully scan the inactive file LRU Note that normally A >> I. side effects ============ This patch is safe in general, it restores the pre-2.6.28 mmap() behavior but in a much smaller and well targeted scope. One may worry about some one to abuse the PROT_EXEC heuristic. But as Andrew Morton stated, there are other tricks to getting that sort of boost. Another concern is the PROT_EXEC mapped pages growing large in rare cases, and therefore hurting reclaim efficiency. But a sane application targeted for large audience will never use PROT_EXEC for data mappings. If some home made application tries to abuse that bit, it shall be aware of the consequences. If it is abused to scale of 2/3 total memory, it gains nothing but overheads. benchmarks ========== 1) memory tight desktop 1.1) brief summary - clock time and major faults are reduced by 50%; - pswpin numbers are reduced to ~1/3.

I'd attribute that improvement to the mmap readahead improvements :-) - The pgmajfault increment during the file copy is 633-630=3 vs 260-210=50. That's a huge improvement - which means with the VM_EXEC protection logic, active mmap pages is pretty safe even under partially cache hot streaming IO. - when active:inactive file lru size reaches 1:1, their scan rates is 1:20.8 under 10% cache hot IO.

This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is only necessary to hold task_lock() once. If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score. This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future memory freeing anyway. Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other thread groups).

由 David Rientjes 提交于
The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory freeing. This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM size for the badness heuristic. This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same task during the next retry. Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be necessary. Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak. But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg. There are 2 kinds of references to swap. - reference from swap entry - reference from swap cache Then, - If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache. (*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[], current usage of counter is not very good. This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

In a following patch, the usage of swap cache is recorded into swap_map. This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that. 2 interfaces: - swapcache_prepare() - swapcache_free() are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap entries. But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

page-allocator: use integer fields lookup for gfp_zone and check for errors in flags passed to the page allocator This simplifies the code in gfp_zone() and also keeps the ability of the compiler to use constant folding to get rid of gfp_zone processing. The lookup of the zone is done using a bitfield stored in an integer. So the code in gfp_zone is a simple extraction of bits from a constant bitfield. The compiler is generating a load of a constant into a register and then performs a shift and mask operation to get the zone from a gfp_t. No cachelines are touched and no branches have to be predicted by the compiler. We are doing some macro tricks here to convince the compiler to always do the constant folding if possible.

This patch reverts to calling migrate_prep() only once per chunk as we did before 2.6.29. It is also a followup to commit 0aedadf9 ("mm: move migrate_prep out from under mmap_sem").

Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory: * Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend. * Free pages are almost exhausted. * Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. * __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the OOM killer. * The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so it doesn't die immediately. * __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer. * No progress can be made. Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even more likely to happen during hibernation. To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

Since videobuf-dma-contig is designed to handle physically contiguous memory, this patch modifies the videobuf-dma-contig code to only accept a user space pointer to physically contiguous memory. For now only VM_PFNMAP vmas are supported, so forget hotplug. On SuperH Mobile we use this with our sh_mobile_ceu_camera driver together with various multimedia accelerator blocks that are exported to user space using UIO. The UIO kernel code exports physically contiguous memory to user space and lets the user space application mmap() this memory and pass a pointer using the USERPTR interface for V4L2 zero copy operation. With this approach we support zero copy capture, hardware scaling and various forms of hardware encoding and decoding.
