      mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks are contended or taking too long · c67fe375
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
heavily on locks.  The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;

	The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
	running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive.  FWIW these servers
	are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory.  I've got ~160
	Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
	backed by 12 of these servers.

Early in the test everything looks fine

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.

commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.

This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
does not need to schedule.

      mm: compaction: handle incorrect MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type pageblocks · 5ceb9ce6
      由 Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 提交于 
      When MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pages are freed from MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type
pageblock (and some MIGRATE_MOVABLE pages are left in it) waiting until an
allocation takes ownership of the block may take too long.  The type of
the pageblock remains unchanged so the pageblock cannot be used as a
migration target during compaction.

Fix it by:

* Adding enum compact_mode (COMPACT_ASYNC_[MOVABLE,UNMOVABLE], and
  COMPACT_SYNC) and then converting sync field in struct compact_control
  to use it.

* Adding nr_pageblocks_skipped field to struct compact_control and
  tracking how many destination pageblocks were of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type.
   If COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE mode compaction ran fully in
  try_to_compact_pages() (COMPACT_COMPLETE) it implies that there is not a
  suitable page for allocation.  In this case then check how if there were
  enough MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try a second pass in
  COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE mode.

* Scanning the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks (during COMPACT_SYNC and
  COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE compaction modes) and building a count based on
  finding PageBuddy pages, page_count(page) == 0 or PageLRU pages.  If all
  pages within the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblock are in one of those three
  sets change the whole pageblock type to MIGRATE_MOVABLE.

My particular test case (on a ARM EXYNOS4 device with 512 MiB, which means
131072 standard 4KiB pages in 'Normal' zone) is to:

- allocate 120000 pages for kernel's usage
- free every second page (60000 pages) of memory just allocated
- allocate and use 60000 pages from user space
- free remaining 60000 pages of kernel memory
  (now we have fragmented memory occupied mostly by user space pages)
- try to allocate 100 order-9 (2048 KiB) pages for kernel's usage

The results:
- with compaction disabled I get 11 successful allocations
- with compaction enabled - 14 successful allocations
- with this patch I'm able to get all 100 successful allocations

NOTE: If we can make kswapd aware of order-0 request during compaction, we
can enhance kswapd with changing mode to COMPACT_ASYNC_FULL
(COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE + COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE).  Please see the
following thread:

      vmscan: only defer compaction for failed order and higher · aff62249
      由 Rik van Riel 提交于 
      Currently a failed order-9 (transparent hugepage) compaction can lead to
memory compaction being temporarily disabled for a memory zone.  Even if
we only need compaction for an order 2 allocation, eg.  for jumbo frames
networking.

The fix is relatively straightforward: keep track of the highest order at
which compaction is succeeding, and only defer compaction for orders at
which compaction is failing.

      vmscan: kswapd carefully call compaction · 7be62de9
      由 Rik van Riel 提交于 
      With CONFIG_COMPACTION enabled, kswapd does not try to free contiguous
free pages, even when it is woken for a higher order request.

This could be bad for eg.  jumbo frame network allocations, which are done
from interrupt context and cannot compact memory themselves.  Higher than
before allocation failure rates in the network receive path have been
observed in kernels with compaction enabled.

Teach kswapd to defragment the memory zones in a node, but only if
required and compaction is not deferred in a zone.
