      cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems · c0ff7453
      由 Miao Xie 提交于 
      Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

      hugetlbfs: kill applications that use MAP_NORESERVE with SIGBUS instead of OOM-killer · 4a6018f7
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with
reserves.  For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap()
returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed
and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus.

An application that uses MAP_NORESERVE gets no reservations and mmap()
will always succeed at the risk the page will not be available at fault
time.  This might be used for example on very large sparse mappings where
the developer is confident the necessary huge pages exist to satisfy all
faults even though the whole mapping cannot be backed by huge pages.
Unfortunately, if an allocation does fail, VM_FAULT_OOM is returned to the
fault handler which proceeds to trigger the OOM-killer.  This is
unhelpful.

Even without hugetlbfs mounted, a user using mmap() can trivially trigger
the OOM-killer because VM_FAULT_OOM is returned (will provide example
program if desired - it's a whopping 24 lines long).  It could be
considered a DOS available to an unprivileged user.

This patch alters hugetlbfs to kill a process that uses MAP_NORESERVE
where huge pages were not available with SIGBUS instead of triggering the
OOM killer.

This change affects hugetlb_cow() as well.  I feel there is a failure case
in there, but I didn't create one.  It would need a fairly specific target
in terms of the faulting application and the hugepage pool size.  The
hugetlb_no_page() path is much easier to hit but both might as well be
closed.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

      MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself · 4b3073e1
      由 Russell King 提交于 
      On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.

This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():

  On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
  to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
  more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
  pte_t?

Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

  Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
  -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
  for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
  _PAGE_EXEC.

So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

      If a user asks for a hugepage pool resize but specified a large number,
the machine can begin trashing.  In response, they might hit ctrl-c but
signals are ignored and the pool resize continues until it fails an
allocation.  This can take a considerable amount of time so this patch
aborts a pool resize if a signal is pending.

      hugetlb: acquire the i_mmap_lock before walking the prio_tree to unmap a page · 4eb2b1dc
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      When the owner of a mapping fails COW because a child process is holding a
reference, the children VMAs are walked and the page is unmapped.  The
i_mmap_lock is taken for the unmapping of the page but not the walking of
the prio_tree.  In theory, that tree could be changing if the lock is not
held.  This patch takes the i_mmap_lock properly for the duration of the

This can be fixed by dropping the mm->page_table_lock around the call to
unmap_ref_private() if alloc_huge_page() fails, its dropped right below in
the normal path anyway.  However, earlier in the that function, it's also
possible to call into the page allocator with the same spinlock held.

What this patch does is drop the spinlock before the page allocator is
potentially entered.  The check for page allocation failure can be made
without the page_table_lock as well as the copy of the huge page.  Even if
the PTE changed while the spinlock was held, the consequence is that a
huge page is copied unnecessarily.  This resolves both the double taking
of the lock and sleeping with the spinlock held.

      mm: add gfp flags for NODEMASK_ALLOC slab allocations · bad44b5b
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      Objects passed to NODEMASK_ALLOC() are relatively small in size and are
backed by slab caches that are not of large order, traditionally never
greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.

Thus, using GFP_KERNEL for these allocations on large machines when
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 will cause the page allocator to loop endlessly in
the allocation attempt, each time invoking both direct reclaim or the oom
killer.

This is of particular interest when using NODEMASK_ALLOC() from a
mempolicy context (either directly in mm/mempolicy.c or the mempolicy
constrained hugetlb allocations) since the oom killer always kills current
when allocations are constrained by mempolicies.  So for all present use
cases in the kernel, current would end up being oom killed when direct
reclaim fails.  That would allow the NODEMASK_ALLOC() to succeed but
current would have sacrificed itself upon returning.

This patch adds gfp flags to NODEMASK_ALLOC() to pass to kmalloc() on
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8; this parameter is a nop on other configurations.
All current use cases either directly from hugetlb code or indirectly via
NODEMASK_SCRATCH() union __GFP_NORETRY to avoid direct reclaim and the oom
killer when the slab allocator needs to allocate additional pages.

The side-effect of this change is that all current use cases of either
NODEMASK_ALLOC() or NODEMASK_SCRATCH() need appropriate -ENOMEM handling
when the allocation fails (never for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT <= 8).  All
current use cases were audited and do have appropriate error handling at
this time.

      hugetlb: add per node hstate attributes · 9a305230
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      Add the per huge page size control/query attributes to the per node
sysdevs:

/sys/devices/system/node/node<ID>/hugepages/hugepages-<size>/
	nr_hugepages       - r/w
	free_huge_pages    - r/o
	surplus_huge_pages - r/o

The patch attempts to re-use/share as much of the existing global hstate
attribute initialization and handling, and the "nodes_allowed" constraint
processing as possible.

Calling set_max_huge_pages() with no node indicates a change to global
hstate parameters.  In this case, any non-default task mempolicy will be
used to generate the nodes_allowed mask.  A valid node id indicates an
update to that node's hstate parameters, and the count argument specifies
the target count for the specified node.  From this info, we compute the
target global count for the hstate and construct a nodes_allowed node mask
contain only the specified node.

Setting the node specific nr_hugepages via the per node attribute
effectively ignores any task mempolicy or cpuset constraints.

  is produced.  This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use
  node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed".  This preserves the
  behavior before this patch.
* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,
  a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced.
  "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the
  task adjusting nr_hugepages.
* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask
  will be used.
* Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node
  mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored.  That is, all modes
  behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask
  with no "fallback".

See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information
about the implications of this patch.

Examples:

Starting with:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:     0
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     0

Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent
hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]:

	sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32

yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch,
but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the
same as nr_hugepages.

Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a.
'--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified
and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on
individual nodes or sets of nodes.  So, starting from the
condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to
node 2 using:

	numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40

This yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     8
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:    16
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the
specified mempolicy.

Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages
from specified nodes:

	numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32

yields:

	Node 0 HugePages_Total:     4
	Node 1 HugePages_Total:     4
	Node 2 HugePages_Total:    16
	Node 3 HugePages_Total:     8

The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

      hugetlb: add nodemask arg to huge page alloc, free and surplus adjust functions · 6ae11b27
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      In preparation for constraining huge page allocation and freeing by the
controlling task's numa mempolicy, add a "nodes_allowed" nodemask pointer
to the allocate, free and surplus adjustment functions.  For now, pass
NULL to indicate default behavior--i.e., use node_online_map.  A
subsqeuent patch will derive a non-default mask from the controlling
task's numa mempolicy.

Note that this method of updating the global hstate nr_hugepages under the
constraint of a nodemask simplifies keeping the global state
consistent--especially the number of persistent and surplus pages relative
to reservations and overcommit limits.  There are undoubtedly other ways
to do this, but this works for both interfaces: mempolicy and per node
attributes.

      hugetlb: rework hstate_next_node_* functions · 9a76db09
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      Modify the hstate_next_node* functions to allow them to be called to
obtain the "start_nid".  Then, whereas prior to this patch we
unconditionally called hstate_next_node_to_{alloc|free}(), whether or not
we successfully allocated/freed a huge page on the node, now we only call
these functions on failure to alloc/free to advance to next allowed node.

Factor out the next_node_allowed() function to handle wrap at end of
node_online_map.  In this version, the allowed nodes include all of the
online nodes.
