      mm: don't warn about large allocations for slab · 3996e891
      由 Dmitry Vyukov 提交于 
      commit 61448479a9f2c954cde0cfe778cb6bec5d0a748d upstream.

Slub does not call kmalloc_slab() for sizes > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
instead it falls back to kmalloc_large().

For slab KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE == KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and it calls
kmalloc_slab() for all allocations relying on NULL return value for
over-sized allocations.

This inconsistency leads to unwanted warnings from kmalloc_slab() for
over-sized allocations for slab.  Returning NULL for failed allocations is
the expected behavior.

Make slub and slab code consistent by checking size >
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE in slab before calling kmalloc_slab().

While we are here also fix the check in kmalloc_slab().  We should check
against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE rather than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.  It all kinda
worked because for slab the constants are the same, and slub always checks
the size against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE before kmalloc_slab().  But if we
get there with size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE anyhow bad things will
happen.  For example, in case of a newly introduced bug in slub code.

Also move the check in kmalloc_slab() from function entry to the size >
192 case.  This partially compensates for the additional check in slab
code and makes slub code a bit faster (at least theoretically).

Also drop __GFP_NOWARN in the warning check.  This warning means a bug in
slab code itself, user-passed flags have nothing to do with it.

Nothing of this affects slob.

      mm/swapfile.c: use kvzalloc for swap_info_struct allocation · 113737cc
      由 Vasily Averin 提交于 
      commit 873d7bcfd066663e3e50113dc4a0de19289b6354 upstream.

Commit a2468cc9 ("swap: choose swap device according to numa node")
changed 'avail_lists' field of 'struct swap_info_struct' to an array.
In popular linux distros it increased size of swap_info_struct up to 40
Kbytes and now swap_info_struct allocation requires order-4 page.
Switch to kvzmalloc allows to avoid unexpected allocation failures.

      hugetlbfs: fix kernel BUG at fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:444! · 7b46e532
      由 Mike Kravetz 提交于 
      commit 5e41540c8a0f0e98c337dda8b391e5dda0cde7cf upstream.

This bug has been experienced several times by the Oracle DB team.  The
BUG is in remove_inode_hugepages() as follows:

	/*
	 * If page is mapped, it was faulted in after being
	 * unmapped in caller.  Unmap (again) now after taking
	 * the fault mutex.  The mutex will prevent faults
	 * until we finish removing the page.
	 *
	 * This race can only happen in the hole punch case.
	 * Getting here in a truncate operation is a bug.
	 */
	if (unlikely(page_mapped(page))) {
		BUG_ON(truncate_op);

In this case, the elevated map count is not the result of a race.
Rather it was incorrectly incremented as the result of a bug in the huge
pmd sharing code.  Consider the following:

 - Process A maps a hugetlbfs file of sufficient size and alignment
   (PUD_SIZE) that a pmd page could be shared.

 - Process B maps the same hugetlbfs file with the same size and
   alignment such that a pmd page is shared.

 - Process B then calls mprotect() to change protections for the mapping
   with the shared pmd. As a result, the pmd is 'unshared'.

 - Process B then calls mprotect() again to chage protections for the
   mapping back to their original value. pmd remains unshared.

 - Process B then forks and process C is created. During the fork
   process, we do dup_mm -> dup_mmap -> copy_page_range to copy page
   tables. Copying page tables for hugetlb mappings is done in the
   routine copy_hugetlb_page_range.

In copy_hugetlb_page_range(), the destination pte is obtained by:

	dst_pte = huge_pte_alloc(dst, addr, sz);

If pmd sharing is possible, the returned pointer will be to a pte in an
existing page table.  In the situation above, process C could share with
either process A or process B.  Since process A is first in the list,
the returned pte is a pointer to a pte in process A's page table.

However, the check for pmd sharing in copy_hugetlb_page_range is:

	/* If the pagetables are shared don't copy or take references */
	if (dst_pte == src_pte)
		continue;

Since process C is sharing with process A instead of process B, the
above test fails.  The code in copy_hugetlb_page_range which follows
assumes dst_pte points to a huge_pte_none pte.  It copies the pte entry
from src_pte to dst_pte and increments this map count of the associated
page.  This is how we end up with an elevated map count.

To solve, check the dst_pte entry for huge_pte_none.  If !none, this
implies PMD sharing so do not copy.

The defrag mode is "madvise" and from the above report it is clear that
the THP has been allocated for MADV_HUGEPAGA vma.

Andrea has identified that the main source of the problem is
__GFP_THISNODE usage:

: The problem is that direct compaction combined with the NUMA
: __GFP_THISNODE logic in mempolicy.c is telling reclaim to swap very
: hard the local node, instead of failing the allocation if there's no
: THP available in the local node.
:
: Such logic was ok until __GFP_THISNODE was added to the THP allocation
: path even with MPOL_DEFAULT.
:
: The idea behind the __GFP_THISNODE addition, is that it is better to
: provide local memory in PAGE_SIZE units than to use remote NUMA THP
: backed memory. That largely depends on the remote latency though, on
: threadrippers for example the overhead is relatively low in my
: experience.
:
: The combination of __GFP_THISNODE and __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM results in
: extremely slow qemu startup with vfio, if the VM is larger than the
: size of one host NUMA node. This is because it will try very hard to
: unsuccessfully swapout get_user_pages pinned pages as result of the
: __GFP_THISNODE being set, instead of falling back to PAGE_SIZE
: allocations and instead of trying to allocate THP on other nodes (it
: would be even worse without vfio type1 GUP pins of course, except it'd
: be swapping heavily instead).

Fix this by removing __GFP_THISNODE for THP requests which are
requesting the direct reclaim.  This effectivelly reverts 5265047a
on the grounds that the zone/node reclaim was known to be disruptive due
to premature reclaim when there was memory free.  While it made sense at
the time for HPC workloads without NUMA awareness on rare machines, it
was ultimately harmful in the majority of cases.  The existing behaviour
is similar, if not as widespare as it applies to a corner case but
crucially, it cannot be tuned around like zone_reclaim_mode can.  The
default behaviour should always be to cause the least harm for the
common case.

If there are specialised use cases out there that want zone_reclaim_mode
in specific cases, then it can be built on top.  Longterm we should
consider a memory policy which allows for the node reclaim like behavior
for the specific memory ranges which would allow a

This was a severe regression compared to previous kernels that made
important workloads unusable and it starts when __GFP_THISNODE was
added to THP allocations under MADV_HUGEPAGE.  It is not a significant
risk to go to the previous behavior before __GFP_THISNODE was added, it
worked like that for years.

This was simply an optimization to some lucky workloads that can fit in
a single node, but it ended up breaking the VM for others that can't
possibly fit in a single node, so going back is safe.

      mm/mmap.c: don't clobber partially overlapping VMA with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE · 7aa867dd
      由 Jann Horn 提交于 
      Daniel Micay reports that attempting to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in an
application causes that application to randomly crash.  The existing check
for handling MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE looks up the first VMA that either
overlaps or follows the requested region, and then bails out if that VMA
overlaps *the start* of the requested region.  It does not bail out if the
VMA only overlaps another part of the requested region.

Fix it by checking that the found VMA only starts at or after the end of
the requested region, in which case there is no overlap.

    • M
      mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration · efaffc5e
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.

Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.

Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.

However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.

Avoiding stretching of window intervals may be the reason for the
regression. Also code now uses READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE. That may
also be hurting performance to some extent.

      mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects · 172b06c3
      由 Roman Gushchin 提交于 
      9092c71b ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the
way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it
priority-based:

    delta = freeable >> priority;
    delta *= 4;
    do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks);

The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is
applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less
than 4096 (1<<12).

This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to
(almost) never get reclaimed.  It's obviously a waste of memory.

It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a
reference to a dying cgroup.  Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg
offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the
dying cgroup.  If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go
away.  Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects,
only remaining objects from dying children cgroups.  So it can easily hold
a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups.

If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are
created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying
cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory
"leak".  It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed,
but it could not happen in a real life at all.  I've seen hosts with a
steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of
a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production
workload.

It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal
pressure even on small shrinker lists.  E.g.  if there are freeable
objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects.

This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be
reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth
of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

      mm: shmem.c: Correctly annotate new inodes for lockdep · b45d71fb
      由 Joel Fernandes (Google) 提交于 
      Directories and inodes don't necessarily need to be in the same lockdep
class.  For ex, hugetlbfs splits them out too to prevent false positives
in lockdep.  Annotate correctly after new inode creation.  If its a
directory inode, it will be put into a different class.

This should fix a lockdep splat reported by syzbot:

      mm: disable deferred struct page for 32-bit arches · 889c695d

      Deferred struct page init is needed only on systems with large amount of
physical memory to improve boot performance.  32-bit systems do not
benefit from this feature.

Because there is no reason to have this feature on 32-bit systems, just
disable it.

      mm: get rid of vmacache_flush_all() entirely · 7a9cdebd
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Jann Horn points out that the vmacache_flush_all() function is not only
potentially expensive, it's buggy too.  It also happens to be entirely
unnecessary, because the sequence number overflow case can be avoided by
simply making the sequence number be 64-bit.  That doesn't even grow the
data structures in question, because the other adjacent fields are
already 64-bit.

So simplify the whole thing by just making the sequence number overflow
case go away entirely, which gets rid of all the complications and makes
the code faster too.  Win-win.

[ Oleg Nesterov points out that the VMACACHE_FULL_FLUSHES statistics
  also just goes away entirely with this ]

      blkcg: delay blkg destruction until after writeback has finished · 59b57717
      由 Dennis Zhou (Facebook) 提交于 
      Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
  1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
     release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
     the cgwbs (writeback).
  2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
     become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
     frees the blkcg.

Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
related to writeback.

The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
  1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
     writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
     avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
     to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
     cgwb_refcnt is put back.
  2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
     and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
     held by each blkg is released.
  3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
     This finally frees the blkg.

It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
this.

      mm/cow: don't bother write protecting already write-protected pages · 1b2de5d0
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.

It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.

This patch was inspired by

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447

which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.

That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.
