On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large and it can cause trimming down variables in below calculation in read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore(): tsz = min_t(size_t, m->offset + m->size - *fpos, buflen); That is, the types being used is like below on i686: m->offset: unsigned long long int m->size: unsigned long long int *fpos: loff_t (long long int) buflen: size_t (unsigned int) So casting (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) by size_t means truncating a given value by 4GB. Suppose (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) being truncated to 0, buflen >0 then we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result. Similarly we could also get other truncated values less than buflen. Then the real size passed down is not correct any more. If (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) is above 4GB, read_vmcore or mmap_vmcore use the min_t result with truncated values being compared to buflen. Then, fpos proceeds with the wrong value so that we reach below bugs: 1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails. 2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range(). Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables in are not truncated.

This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed. This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long.

While oom_killer_disable() is called by freeze_processes() after all user threads except the current thread are frozen, it is possible that kernel threads invoke the OOM killer and sends SIGKILL to the current thread due to sharing the thawed victim's memory.

Add a new column to pool stats, which will tell how many pages ideally can be freed by class compaction, so it will be easier to analyze zsmalloc fragmentation. At the moment, we have only numbers of FULL and ALMOST_EMPTY classes, but they don't tell us how badly the class is fragmented internally. The new /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zramX/classes output look as follows: class size almost_full almost_empty obj_allocated obj_used pages_used pages_per_zspage freeable [..] 12 224 0 2 146 5 8 4 4 13 240 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 14 256 1 13 1840 1672 115 1 10 15 272 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 [..] 49 816 0 3 745 735 149 1 2 51 848 3 4 361 306 76 4 8 52 864 12 14 378 268 81 3 21 54 896 1 12 117 57 26 2 12 57 944 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 [..] Total 26 131 12709 10994 1071 134 For example, from this particular output we can easily conclude that class-896 is heavily fragmented -- it occupies 26 pages, 12 can be freed by compaction.

Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a race condition when the desired value is below the current usage. The code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit. Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that the workload happens to cooperate. To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round: set the limit first, then try enforcement. And if reclaim is not able to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group. Keep going until the new limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed. This allows users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max.

When setting memory.high below usage, nothing happens until the next charge comes along, and then it will only reclaim its own charge and not the now potentially huge excess of the new memory.high. This can cause groups to stay in excess of their memory.high indefinitely. To fix that, when shrinking memory.high, kick off a reclaim cycle that goes after the delta.

I found that page-types is very slow and my testing shows many timeout errors. Here's an example with a simple program allocating 1000 thps. $ time ./page-types -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc) ... real 0m17.201s user 0m16.889s sys 0m0.312s Most of time is spent in memset(). Currently memset() clears over whole buffer for every walk_pfn() call, which is inefficient when walk_pfn() is called from walk_vma(), because in that case walk_pfn() is called for each pfn.

Upstream has supported page parallel initialisation for X86 and the boot time is improved greately. Some tests have been done for Power. Here is the result I have done with different memory size. * 4GB memory: boot time is as the following: with patch vs without patch: 10.4s vs 24.5s boot time is improved 57% * 200GB memory: boot time looks the same with and without patches. boot time is about 38s * 32TB memory: boot time looks the same with and without patches boot time is about 160s. The boot time is much shorter than X86 with 24TB memory. From community discussion, it costs about 694s for X86 24T system. Parallel initialisation improves the performance by deferring memory initilisation to kswap with N kthreads, it should improve the performance therotically. In testing on X86, performance is improved greatly with huge memory. But on Power platform, it is improved greatly with less than 100GB memory. For huge memory, it is not improved greatly. But it saves the time with several threads at least, as the following information shows(32TB system log): [ 22.648169] node 9 initialised, 16607461 pages in 280ms [ 22.783772] node 3 initialised, 23937243 pages in 410ms [ 22.858877] node 6 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms [ 22.863252] node 2 initialised, 29179347 pages in 490ms [ 22.907545] node 0 initialised, 32049614 pages in 540ms [ 22.920891] node 15 initialised, 32212280 pages in 550ms [ 22.923236] node 4 initialised, 32306127 pages in 550ms [ 22.923384] node 12 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms [ 22.924754] node 8 initialised, 32314319 pages in 550ms [ 22.940780] node 13 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.940796] node 11 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941700] node 5 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941721] node 10 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.941876] node 7 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.944946] node 14 initialised, 33353677 pages in 570ms [ 22.946063] node 1 initialised, 33345485 pages in 580ms It saves the time about 550*16 ms at least, although it can be ignore to compare the boot time about 160 seconds. What's more, the boot time is much shorter on Power even without patches than x86 for huge memory machine. So this patchset is still necessary to be enabled for Power. This patch (of 2): This patch is based on Mel Gorman's old patch in the mailing list, https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/5/280 which is discussed but it is fixed with a completion to wait for all memory initialised in page_alloc_init_late(). It is to fix the OOM problem on X86 with 24TB memory which allocates memory in late initialisation. But for Power platform with 32TB memory, it causes a call trace in vfs_caches_init->inode_init() and inode hash table needs more memory. So this patch allocates 1GB for 0.25TB/node for large system as it is mentioned in https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/1/627 This call trace is found on Power with 32TB memory, 1024CPUs, 16nodes. Currently, it only allocates 2GB*16=32GB for early initialisation. But Dentry cache hash table needes 16GB and Inode cache hash table needs 16GB. So the system have no enough memory for it. The log from dmesg as the following: Dentry cache hash table entries: 2147483648 (order: 18,17179869184 bytes) vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 16021913600 of 17179934720 bytes swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0,mode:0x2080020 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.4.0-0-ppc64 Call Trace: .dump_stack+0xb4/0xb664 (unreliable) .warn_alloc_failed+0x114/0x160 .__vmalloc_area_node+0x1a4/0x2b0 .__vmalloc_node_range+0xe4/0x110 .__vmalloc_node+0x40/0x50 .alloc_large_system_hash+0x134/0x2a4 .inode_init+0xa4/0xf0 .vfs_caches_init+0x80/0x144 .start_kernel+0x40c/0x4e0 start_here_common+0x20/0x4a4 Signed-off-by: NLi Zhang <zhlcindy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() helpers evolved in rather complex beasts. It would be nice to cut complexity of this code. This patch rewrites freeze_page() using standard try_to_unmap(). unfreeze_page() is rewritten with remove_migration_ptes(). The result is much simpler. But the new variant is somewhat slower for PTE-mapped THPs. Current helpers iterates over VMAs the compound page is mapped to, and then over ptes within this VMA. New helpers iterates over small page, then over VMA the small page mapped to, and only then find relevant pte. We have short cut for PMD-mapped THP: we directly install migration entries on PMD split. I don't think the slowdown is critical, considering how much simpler result is and that split_huge_page() is quite rare nowadays. It only happens due memory pressure or migration.

Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP: Baseline 20.21 +/- 0.393 Patched 20.73 +/- 0.082 Slowdown 1.03x It's 3% slower, comparing to 14% in v1. I don't it should be a stopper. Splitting of PTE-mapped pages slowed more. But this is not a common case.

ZONE_DEVICE (merged in 4.3) and ZONE_CMA (proposed) are examples of new mm zones that are bumping up against the current maximum limit of 4 zones, i.e. 2 bits in page->flags for the GFP_ZONE_TABLE. The GFP_ZONE_TABLE poses an interesting constraint since include/linux/gfp.h gets included by the 32-bit portion of a 64-bit build. We need to be careful to only build the table for zones that have a corresponding gfp_t flag. GFP_ZONES_SHIFT is introduced for this purpose. This patch does not attempt to solve the problem of adding a new zone that also has a corresponding GFP_ flag. Vlastimil points out that ZONE_DEVICE, by depending on x86_64 and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP implies that SECTIONS_WIDTH is zero. In other words even though ZONE_DEVICE does not fit in GFP_ZONE_TABLE it is free to consume another bit in page->flags (expand ZONES_WIDTH) with room to spare.

CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but, unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we don't have any facility to analyze it. This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation. With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem. Following is an example of tracepoint output.

Recent version will print it as human readable string.) <...>-9018 [004] 92.678375: page_ref_set: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x0 count=1 mapcount=0 mapping=(nil) mt=4 val=1 <...>-9018 [004] 92.678378: kernel_stack: => get_page_from_freelist (ffffffff81176659) => __alloc_pages_nodemask (ffffffff81176d22) => alloc_pages_vma (ffffffff811bf675) => handle_mm_fault (ffffffff8119e693) => __do_page_fault (ffffffff810631ea) => trace_do_page_fault (ffffffff81063543) => do_async_page_fault (ffffffff8105c40a) => async_page_fault (ffffffff817581d8) [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 92.678379: page_ref_mod: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40048 count=2 mapcount=1 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=1 [snip] ... ... <...>-9131 [001] 93.174468: test_pages_isolated: start_pfn=0x17800 end_pfn=0x17c00 fin_pfn=0x17ac9 ret=fail [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 93.174843: page_ref_mod_and_test: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40068 count=0 mapcount=0 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=-1 ret=1 => release_pages (ffffffff8117c9e4) => free_pages_and_swap_cache (ffffffff811b0697) => tlb_flush_mmu_free (ffffffff81199616) => tlb_finish_mmu (ffffffff8119a62c) => exit_mmap (ffffffff811a53f7) => mmput (ffffffff81073f47) => do_exit (ffffffff810794e9) => do_group_exit (ffffffff81079def) => SyS_exit_group (ffffffff81079e74) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff817560b6) This output shows that problem comes from exit path.

The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed so finding offending place is really important. In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is no functional change in this patch. In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will help a second step that renames page._count to something else and prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor.

If an oom killed thread calls mempool_alloc(), it is possible that it'll loop forever if there are no elements on the freelist since __GFP_NOMEMALLOC prevents it from accessing needed memory reserves in oom conditions. Only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are elements on the freelist. If there are no free elements, allow allocations without the bit set so that memory reserves can be accessed if needed. Additionally, using mempool_alloc() with __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is not supported since the implementation can loop forever without accessing memory reserves when needed.

In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

There are few things about *pte_alloc*() helpers worth cleaning up: - 'vma' argument is unused, let's drop it; - most __pte_alloc() callers do speculative check for pmd_none(), before taking ptl: let's introduce pte_alloc() macro which does the check. The only direct user of __pte_alloc left is userfaultfd, which has different expectation about atomicity wrt pmd. - pte_alloc_map() and pte_alloc_map_lock() are redefined using pte_alloc().

Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo. It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated without pushing the guest system to swap. Signed-off-by: NIgor Redko <redkoi@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: NDenis V.
