      mm: add context argument to shrinker callback · 7f8275d0
      由 Dave Chinner 提交于 
      The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
callback via container_of().

      mm: revert "vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup" · d6da1a5a
      由 KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于 
      Shaohua Li reported his tmpfs streaming I/O test can lead to make oom.
The test uses a 6G tmpfs in a system with 3G memory.  In the tmpfs, there
are 6 copies of kernel source and the test does kbuild for each copy.  His
investigation shows the test has a lot of rotated anon pages and quite few
file pages, so get_scan_ratio calculates percent[0] (i.e.  scanning
percent for anon) to be zero.  Actually the percent[0] shoule be a big
value, but our calculation round it to zero.

Although before commit 84b18490 ("vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup") , we
have the same problem too.  But the old logic can rescue percent[0]==0
case only when priority==0.  It had hided the real issue.  I didn't think
merely streaming io can makes percent[0]==0 && priority==0 situation.  but
I was wrong.

So, definitely we have to fix such tmpfs streaming io issue.  but anyway I
revert the regression commit at first.

This reverts commit 84b18490.

      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.

      vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once · 64574746
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      The VM currently assumes that an inactive, mapped and referenced file page
is in use and promotes it to the active list.

However, every mapped file page starts out like this and thus a problem
arises when workloads create a stream of such pages that are used only for
a short time.  By flooding the active list with those pages, the VM
quickly gets into trouble finding eligible reclaim canditates.  The result
is long allocation latencies and eviction of the wrong pages.

This patch reuses the PG_referenced page flag (used for unmapped file
pages) to implement a usage detection that scales with the speed of LRU
list cycling (i.e.  memory pressure).

If the scanner encounters those pages, the flag is set and the page cycled
again on the inactive list.  Only if it returns with another page table
reference it is activated.  Otherwise it is reclaimed as 'not recently
used cache'.

This effectively changes the minimum lifetime of a used-once mapped file
page from a full memory cycle to an inactive list cycle, which allows it
to occur in linear streams without affecting the stable working set of the
system.

      vmscan: drop page_mapping_inuse() · 31c0569c
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      page_mapping_inuse() is a historic predicate function for pages that are
about to be reclaimed or deactivated.

According to it, a page is in use when it is mapped into page tables OR
part of swap cache OR backing an mmapped file.

This function is used in combination with page_referenced(), which checks
for young bits in ptes and the page descriptor itself for the
PG_referenced bit.  Thus, checking for unmapped swap cache pages is
meaningless as PG_referenced is not set for anonymous pages and unmapped
pages do not have young ptes.  The test makes no difference.

Protecting file pages that are not by themselves mapped but are part of a
mapped file is also a historic leftover for short-lived things like the
exec() code in libc.  However, the VM now does reference accounting and
activation of pages at unmap time and thus the special treatment on
reclaim is obsolete.

This patch drops page_mapping_inuse() and switches the two callsites to
use page_mapped() directly.

      vmscan: factor out page reference checks · dfc8d636
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      The used-once mapped file page detection patchset.

It is meant to help workloads with large amounts of shortly used file
mappings, like rtorrent hashing a file or git when dealing with loose
objects (git gc on a bigger site?).

Right now, the VM activates referenced mapped file pages on first
encounter on the inactive list and it takes a full memory cycle to
reclaim them again.  When those pages dominate memory, the system
no longer has a meaningful notion of 'working set' and is required
to give up the active list to make reclaim progress.  Obviously,
this results in rather bad scanning latencies and the wrong pages
being reclaimed.

This patch makes the VM be more careful about activating mapped file
pages in the first place.  The minimum granted lifetime without
another memory access becomes an inactive list cycle instead of the
full memory cycle, which is more natural given the mentioned loads.

This test resembles a hashing rtorrent process.  Sequentially, 32MB
chunks of a file are mapped into memory, hashed (sha1) and unmapped
again.  While this happens, every 5 seconds a process is launched and
its execution time taken:

	python2.4 -c 'import pydoc'
	old: max=2.31s mean=1.26s (0.34)
	new: max=1.25s mean=0.32s (0.32)

	find /etc -type f
	old: max=2.52s mean=1.44s (0.43)
	new: max=1.92s mean=0.12s (0.17)

	vim -c ':quit'
	old: max=6.14s mean=4.03s (0.49)
	new: max=3.48s mean=2.41s (0.25)

	mplayer --help
	old: max=8.08s mean=5.74s (1.02)
	new: max=3.79s mean=1.32s (0.81)

	overall hash time (stdev):
	old: time=1192.30 (12.85) thruput=25.78mb/s (0.27)
	new: time=1060.27 (32.58) thruput=29.02mb/s (0.88) (-11%)

I also tested kernbench with regular IO streaming in the background to
see whether the delayed activation of frequently used mapped file
pages had a negative impact on performance in the presence of pressure
on the inactive list.  The patch made no significant difference in
timing, neither for kernbench nor for the streaming IO throughput.

The first patch submission raised concerns about the cost of the extra
faults for actually activated pages on machines that have no hardware
support for young page table entries.

I created an artificial worst case scenario on an ARM machine with
around 300MHz and 64MB of memory to figure out the dimensions
involved.  The test would mmap a file of 20MB, then

  1. touch all its pages to fault them in
  2. force one full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU
  -- old: mapping pages activated
  -- new: mapping pages inactive
  3. touch the mapping pages again
  -- old and new: fault exceptions to set the young bits
  4. force another full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU
  5. touch the mapping pages one last time
  -- new: fault exceptions to set the young bits

The test showed an overall increase of 6% in time over 100 iterations
of the above (old: ~212sec, new: ~225sec).  13 secs total overhead /
(100 * 5k pages), ignoring the execution time of the test itself,
makes for about 25us overhead for every page that gets actually
activated.  Note:

  1. File mapping the size of one third of main memory, _completely_
  in active use across memory pressure - i.e., most pages referenced
  within one LRU cycle.  This should be rare to non-existant,
  especially on such embedded setups.

  2. Many huge activation batches.  Those batches only occur when the
  working set fluctuates.  If it changes completely between every full
  LRU cycle, you have problematic reclaim overhead anyway.

  3. Access of activated pages at maximum speed: sequential loads from
  every single page without doing anything in between.  In reality,
  the extra faults will get distributed between actual operations on
  the data.

So even if a workload manages to get the VM into the situation of
activating a third of memory in one go on such a setup, it will take
2.2 seconds instead 2.1 without the patch.

Comparing the numbers (and my user-experience over several months),
I think this change is an overall improvement to the VM.

Patch 1 is only refactoring to break up that ugly compound conditional
in shrink_page_list() and make it easy to document and add new checks
in a readable fashion.

Patch 2 gets rid of the obsolete page_mapping_inuse().  It's not
strictly related to #3, but it was in the original submission and is a
net simplification, so I kept it.

Patch 3 implements used-once detection of mapped file pages.

This patch:

Moving the big conditional into its own predicate function makes the code
a bit easier to read and allows for better commenting on the checks
one-by-one.

This is just cleaning up, no semantics should have been changed.

all_unreclaimable member to bit flag.  But it had an undesireble side
effect.  free_one_page() is one of most hot path in linux kernel and
increasing atomic ops in it can reduce kernel performance a bit.

Thus, this patch revert such commit partially. at least
all_unreclaimable shouldn't share memory word with other zone flags.

current call graph is

   __alloc_pages_slowpath
       __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim

Actually, if zone_reclaim_mode=1, VM never call
__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in usual VM pressure.

      Kswapd checks that zone has sufficient pages free via zone_watermark_ok().

If any zone doesn't have enough pages, we set all_zones_ok to zero.
!all_zone_ok makes kswapd retry rather than sleeping.

I think the watermark check before shrink_zone() is pointless.  Only after
kswapd has tried to shrink the zone is the check meaningful.

Move the check to after the call to shrink_zone().
