to #29931646 commit f80b08fc44536a311a9f3182e50f318b79076425 upstream. When boosting is enabled, it is observed that rate of atomic order-0 allocation failures are high due to the fact that free levels in the system are checked with ->watermark_boost offset. This is not a problem for sleepable allocations but for atomic allocations which looks like regression. This problem is seen frequently on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware with 4GB RAM size. When no extfrag event occurred in the system, ->watermark_boost factor is zero, thus the watermark configurations in the system are: _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 0 After launching some memory hungry applications in Android which can cause extfrag events in the system to an extent that ->watermark_boost can be set to max i.e. default boost factor makes it to 150% of high watermark. _watermark = ( [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB watermark_boost = 14077, -->~57MB With default system configuration, for an atomic order-0 allocation to succeed, having free memory of ~2MB will suffice. But boosting makes the min_wmark to ~61MB thus for an atomic order-0 allocation to be successful system should have minimum of ~23MB of free memory(from calculations of zone_watermark_ok(), min = 3/4(min/2)). But failures are observed despite system is having ~20MB of free memory. In the testing, this is reproducible as early as first 300secs since boot and with furtherlowram configurations(<2GB) it is observed as early as first 150secs since boot. These failures can be avoided by excluding the ->watermark_boost in watermark caluculations for atomic order-0 allocations.

task #29077503 commit aa218795cb5fd583c94fc838dc76b7379dc4976a upstream virtio-mem wants to allow to offline memory blocks of which some parts were unplugged (allocated via alloc_contig_range()), especially, to later offline and remove completely unplugged memory blocks. The important part is that PageOffline() has to remain set until the section is offline, so these pages will never get accessed (e.g., when dumping). The pages should not be handed back to the buddy (which would require clearing PageOffline() and result in issues if offlining fails and the pages are suddenly in the buddy). Let's allow to do that by allowing to isolate any PageOffline() page when offlining. This way, we can reach the memory hotplug notifier MEM_GOING_OFFLINE, where the driver can signal that he is fine with offlining this page by dropping its reference count. PageOffline() pages with a reference count of 0 can then be skipped when offlining the pages (like if they were free, however they are not in the buddy). Anybody who uses PageOffline() pages and does not agree to offline them (e.g., Hyper-V balloon, XEN balloon, VMWare balloon for 2MB pages) will not decrement the reference count and make offlining fail when trying to migrate such an unmovable page. So there should be no observable change. Same applies to balloon compaction users (movable PageOffline() pages), the pages will simply be migrated. Note 1: If offlining fails, a driver has to increment the reference count again in MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. Note 2: A driver that makes use of this has to be aware that re-onlining the memory block has to be handled by hooking into onlining code (online_page_callback_t), resetting the page PageOffline() and not giving them to the buddy.

When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor. We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range(). It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged. We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to make unplug more likely to succeed. Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched. As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from kernel module context, export the symbols. Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

task #29077503 commit 756d25be457fc5497da0ceee0f3d0c9eb4d8535d upstream We have two types of users of page isolation: 1. Memory offlining: Offline memory so it can be unplugged. Memory won't be touched. 2. Memory allocation: Allocate memory (e.g., alloc_contig_range()) to become the owner of the memory and make use of it. For example, in case we want to offline memory, we can ignore (skip over) PageHWPoison() pages, as the memory won't get used. We can allow to offline memory. In contrast, we don't want to allow to allocate such memory. Let's generalize the approach so we can special case other types of pages we want to skip over in case we offline memory. While at it, also pass the same flags to test_pages_isolated().

The original idea behind dumping the page state for all call paths was that these messages will be helpful debugging failures. From the above it seems that this is not the case for the CMA path because we are lacking much more context. E.g the second reported page might be a CMA allocated page. It is still interesting to see a slab page in the CMA area but it is hard to tell whether this is bug from the above output alone. Address this issue by dumping the page state only on request. Both start_isolate_page_range and has_unmovable_pages already have an argument to ignore hwpoison pages so make this argument more generic and turn it into flags and allow callers to combine non-default modes into a mask. While we are at it, has_unmovable_pages call from is_pageblock_removable_nolock (sysfs removable file) is questionable to report the failure so drop it from there as well.

to #28825456 commit aa09259109583b98b9d9e7ed0d8eb1b880d1eb97 upstream. Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like min_free_kbytes, water_mark_scale_factor etc, when ->watermark_boost is set will result in higher low and high watermarks than the user asked. Below are the steps to reproduce the problem on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware. 1) Default settings of the system are as below: #cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes = 5162 #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 8340 high 8539 2) Monitor the zone->watermark_boost(by adding a debug print in the kernel) and whenever it is greater than zero value, write the same value of min_free_kbytes obtained from step 1. #echo 5162 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes 3) Then read the zone watermarks in the system while the ->watermark_boost is zero. This should show the same values of watermarks as step 1 but shown a higher values than asked. #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 21148 high 21347 These higher values are because of updating the zone watermarks using the macro min_wmark_pages(zone) which also adds the zone->watermark_boost. #define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] + z->watermark_boost) So the steps that lead to the issue are: 1) On the extfrag event, watermarks are boosted by storing the required value in ->watermark_boost. 2) User tries to update the zone watermarks level in the system through min_free_kbytes or watermark_scale_factor. 3) Later, when kswapd woke up, it resets the zone->watermark_boost to zero. In step 2), we use the min_wmark_pages() macro to store the watermarks in the zone structure thus the values are always offsetted by ->watermark_boost value. This can be avoided by resetting the ->watermark_boost to zero before it is used.

to #28825456 commit 14f69140ff9c92a0928547ceefb153a842e8492c upstream. Commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") adds a boost_watermark() function which increases the min watermark in a zone by at least pageblock_nr_pages or the number of pages in a page block. On Arm64, with 64K pages and 512M huge pages, this is 8192 pages or 512M. It does this regardless of the number of managed pages managed in the zone or the likelihood of success. This can put the zone immediately under water in terms of allocating pages from the zone, and can cause a small machine to fail immediately due to OoM. Unlike set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(), which substantially increases min_free_kbytes and is tied to THP, boost_watermark() can be called even if THP is not active. The problem is most likely to appear on architectures such as Arm64 where pageblock_nr_pages is very large. It is desirable to run the kdump capture kernel in as small a space as possible to avoid wasting memory. In some architectures, such as Arm64, there are restrictions on where the capture kernel can run, and therefore, the space available. A capture kernel running in 768M can fail due to OoM immediately after boost_watermark() sets the min in zone DMA32, where most of the memory is, to 512M. It fails even though there is over 500M of free memory. With boost_watermark() suppressed, the capture kernel can run successfully in 448M. This patch limits boost_watermark() to boosting a zone's min watermark only when there are enough pages that the boost will produce positive results. In this case that is estimated to be four times as many pages as pageblock_nr_pages. Mel said: : There is no harm in marking it stable. Clearly it does not happen very : often but it's not impossible. 32-bit x86 is a lot less common now : which would previously have been vulnerable to triggering this easily. : ppc64 has a larger base page size but typically only has one zone. : arm64 is likely the most vulnerable, particularly when CMA is : configured with a small movable zone.

to #28825456 commit 24512228b7a3f412b5a51f189df302616b021c33 upstream. Mikulas Patocka reported that commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") "broke" memory management on parisc. The machine is not NUMA but the DISCONTIG model creates three pgdats even though it's a UMA machine for the following ranges 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB Mikulas reported: With the patch 1c30844d2, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB. For example, if I run: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 - with the proper kernel, there should be "Buffers - 2GiB" when this command finishes. With the patch 1c30844d2, buffers will consume just 1GiB or slightly more, because the kernel was incorrectly reclaiming them. The page allocator and reclaim makes assumptions that pgdats really represent NUMA nodes and zones represent ranges and makes decisions on that basis. Watermark boosting for small pgdats leads to unexpected results even though this would have behaved reasonably on SPARSEMEM. DISCONTIG is essentially deprecated and even parisc plans to move to SPARSEMEM so there is no need to be fancy, this patch simply disables watermark boosting by default on DISCONTIGMEM.

Nevertheless, the possibility exists and so it's best to avoid the problem. This patch flags a zone as needing a kswapd using the, surprisingly, unused zone flag field. The flag is read without the lock held to do the wakeup. It's possible that the flag setting context is not the same as the flag clearing context or for small races to occur. However, each race possibility is harmless and there is no visible degredation in fragmentation treatment. While zone->flag could have continued to be unused, there is potential for moving some existing fields into the flags field instead. Particularly read-mostly ones like zone->initialized and zone->contiguous.

to #28825456 commit 1c30844d2dfe272d58c8fc000960b835d13aa2ac upstream. An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

to #28825456 commit 6bb154504f8b496780ec53ec81aba957a12981fa upstream. Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5. It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series that reduces the level of those fragmentation events. The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the mmtests implementation. The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch) 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94% on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded so they are treated as a secondary metric. Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained in the changelog. Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance for fragmentation vs allocation latency. Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4 make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if larger stalls can be tolerated. The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches 1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for some stalls to control fragmentation. This patch (of 5): The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0 may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view. This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage e.g. from mmtests ./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1 The broad details of the workload are as follows; 1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done as part of the testing for this patch). 2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently. Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache pages get mixed. 3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get stolen. 4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate 75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated and what the fault latency was in microseconds. 5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation, the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate. 6. Cleanup the test files. Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation. Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is used with high-order pages may yield different results. When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an "external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future. Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric. 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 662.92 ( 0.00%) 653.58 * 1.41%* Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 ( 0.00%) Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in the future. Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types that are falling back. vanilla 3816 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 800845 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 33 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE patch 735 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE 408135 MIGRATE_MOVABLE 42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations. Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it. Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent throughout the series and will not be repeated. 1-socket Skylake machine global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage-xfs (MADV_HUGEPAGE) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 291392 4.20-rc3+patch: 191187 (34% reduction) thpfioscale Fault Latencies 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 1495.14 ( 0.00%) 1467.55 ( 1.85%) Amean fault-huge-1 1098.48 ( 0.00%) 1127.11 ( -2.61%) thpfioscale Percentage Faults Huge 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 vanilla lowzone-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 78.57 ( 0.00%) 77.64 ( -1.18%) Fragmentation events were reduced quite a bit although this is known to be a little variable.

The allocation success rate is high enough that the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is reduced later in the series. Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved for this adverse workload.

to #26809468 commit ec393a0f014eaf688a3dbe8c8a4cbb52d7f535f9 upstream. When checking for valid pfns in zero_resv_unavail(), it is not necessary to verify that pfns within pageblock_nr_pages ranges are valid, only the first one needs to be checked. This is because memory for pages are allocated in contiguous chunks that contain pageblock_nr_pages struct pages.

to #26809468 commit 907ec5fca3dc38d37737de826f06f25b063aa08e upstream. Patch series "mm: Fix for movable_node boot option", v3. This patch series contains a fix for the movable_node boot option issue which was introduced by commit 124049de ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into memblock.reserved"). The commit breaks the option because it changed the memory gap range to reserved memblock. So, the node is marked as Normal zone even if the SRAT has Hot pluggable affinity. First and second patch fix the original issue which the commit tried to fix, then revert the commit.

Memblock layout affects the pfn ranges covered by node/zone. Consider that we have a VM with 2 NUMA nodes and each node has 4GB memory, and the default (no memmap= given) memblock layout is like below: MEMBLOCK configuration: memory size = 0x00000001fff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000 memory.cnt = 0x4 memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x2] [0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff], 0x0000000040000000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x3] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0 ... If you give memmap=1G!4G (so it just covers memory[0x2]), the range [0x100000000-0x13fffffff] is gone: MEMBLOCK configuration: memory size = 0x00000001bff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000 memory.cnt = 0x3 memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0 memory[0x2] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0 ... This causes shrinking node 0's pfn range because it is calculated by the address range of memblock.memory. So some of struct pages in the gap range are left uninitialized. We have a function zero_resv_unavail() which does zeroing the struct pages outside memblock.memory, but currently it covers only the reserved unavailable range (i.e. memblock.memory && !memblock.reserved). This patch extends it to cover all unavailable range, which fixes the reported issue.

to #26255339 commit ee8ab0eeb49bd3982090c8f14dc9cc65bcd13c5c upstream During the development of commit 5e1f0f098b46 ("mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction"), a paranoid check was added to ensure that if a captured page was available after compaction that it was consistent with the final state of compaction. The intent was to catch serious programming bugs such as using a stale page pointer and causing corruption problems. However, it is possible to get a captured page even if compaction was unsuccessful if an interrupt triggered and happened to free pages in interrupt context that got merged into a suitable high-order page. It's highly unlikely but Li Wang did report the following warning on s390 occuring when testing OOM handling. Note that the warning is slightly edited for clarity.

to #26255339 commit 5e1f0f098b4649fad53011246bcaeff011ffdf5d upstream Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The intent is to avoid redundant scanning. 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 selective-v3r17 capture-v3r19 Amean fault-both-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 * 0.00%* Amean fault-both-3 2582.11 ( 0.00%) 2563.68 ( 0.71%) Amean fault-both-5 4500.26 ( 0.00%) 4233.52 ( 5.93%) Amean fault-both-7 5819.53 ( 0.00%) 6333.65 ( -8.83%) Amean fault-both-12 9321.18 ( 0.00%) 9759.38 ( -4.70%) Amean fault-both-18 9782.76 ( 0.00%) 10338.76 ( -5.68%) Amean fault-both-24 15272.81 ( 0.00%) 13379.55 * 12.40%* Amean fault-both-30 15121.34 ( 0.00%) 16158.25 ( -6.86%) Amean fault-both-32 18466.67 ( 0.00%) 18971.21 ( -2.73%) Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details. A closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.

to #26255339 commit fd1444b2729289ea3ef6b6096be604f8983e9f9f upstream When pageblocks get fragmented, watermarks are artifically boosted to reclaim pages to avoid further fragmentation events. However, compaction is often either fragmentation-neutral or moving movable pages away from unmovable/reclaimable pages. As the true watermarks are preserved, allow compaction to ignore the boost factor. The expected impact is very slight as the main benefit is that compaction is slightly more likely to succeed when the system has been fragmented very recently. On both 1-socket and 2-socket machines for THP-intensive allocation during fragmentation the success rate was increased by less than 1% which is marginal. However, detailed tracing indicated that failure of migration due to a premature ENOMEM triggered by watermark checks were eliminated.

to #26424368 Since memsli also records latency histogram for swapout and swapin, which are NOT in the slow memory path, the overhead of memsli could be nonnegligible in some specific scenarios. For example, in scenarios with frequent swapping out and in, memsli could introduce overhead of ~1% of total run time of the synthetic testcase. This adds procfs interface for memsli switch. The memsli feature is enabled by default, and you can now disable it by: $ echo 0 > /proc/memsli/enabled Apparently, you can check current memsli switch status by: $ cat /proc/memsli/enabled Note that disabling memsli at runtime will NOT clear the existing latency histogram. You still need to manually reset the specified latency histogram(s) by echo 0 into the corresponding cgroup control file(s).

to #26589565 In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page type. To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being cleared. The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1 pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the scatterlist. When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the free list becomes the first entry in the list. It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing the list. The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up again in roughly 2s and exit.

to #26589565 commit 624f58d8f4639676d2fa1238425ab0148d501c4a upstream linux-next. There are cases where we would benefit from avoiding having to go through the allocation and free cycle to return an isolated page. Examples for this might include page poisoning in which we isolate a page and then put it back in the free list without ever having actually allocated it. This will enable us to also avoid notifiers for the future free page reporting which will need to avoid retriggering page reporting when returning pages that have been reported on.

to #26589565 In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order] anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area. In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

fix #26417771 commit b9705d8778e7adc97de38f405f835a2426e14d84 upstream. Commit 0e56acae4b4d ("mm: initialize MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES at a time instead of doing larger sections") is causing a regression on some systems when the kernel is booted as Xen dom0. The system will just hang in early boot. Reason is an endless loop in get_page_from_freelist() in case the first zone looked at has no free memory. deferred_grow_zone() is always returning true due to the following code snipplet: /* If the zone is empty somebody else may have cleared out the zone */ if (!deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone(&i, zone, &spfn, &epfn, first_deferred_pfn)) { pgdat->first_deferred_pfn = ULONG_MAX; pgdat_resize_unlock(pgdat, &flags); return true; } This in turn results in the loop as get_page_from_freelist() is assuming forward progress can be made by doing some more struct page initialization.

commit 07447453db3aebb6a0917592f411a7122d12a8b9 upstream linux-next. When 'CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT' is set, 'pgdatinit' kthread will initialise the deferred pages with local interrupts disabled. It is introduced by commit 3a2d7fa8 ("mm: disable interrupts while initializing deferred pages"). On machine with NCPUS <= 2, the 'pgdatinit' kthread could be bound to the boot CPU, which could caused the tick timer long time stall, system jiffies not be updated in time. The dmesg shown that: [ 0.197975] node 0 initialised, 32170688 pages in 1ms Obviously, 1ms is unreasonable. Now, fix it by restore in the pending interrupts for every 32*1204 pages (128MB) initialized, give the chance to update the systemd jiffies.

In co-location environment, there are more or less some memory overcommitment, then BATCH tasks may break the shared global min watermark resulting in all types of applications falling into the direct reclaim slow path hurting the RT of LS tasks. (NOTE: BATCH tasks tolerate big latency spike even in seconds as long as doesn't hurt its overal throughput. While LS tasks are very Latency-Sensitive, they may time out or fail in case of sudden latency spike lasts like hundreds of ms typically.) Actually BATCH tasks are not sensitive to memory latency, they can be assigned a strict min watermark which is different from that of LS tasks(which can be aissgned a lenient min watermark accordingly), thus isolating each other in case of global memory allocation. This is kind of like the idea behind ALLOC_HARDER for rt_task(), see gfp_to_alloc_flags(). memory.wmark_min_adj stands for memcg global WMARK_MIN adjustment, it is used to realize separate min watermarks above-mentioned for memcgs, its valid value is within [-25, 50], specifically: negative value means to be relative to [0, WMARK_MIN], positive value means to be relative to [WMARK_MIN, WMARK_LOW]. For examples, -25 means "WMARK_MIN + (WMARK_MIN - 0) * (-25%)" 50 means "WMARK_MIN + (WMARK_LOW - WMARK_MIN) * 50%" Note that the minimum -25 is what ALLOC_HARDER uses which is safe for us to adopt, and the maximum 50 is one experienced value. Negative memory.wmark_min_adj means high QoS requirements, it can allocate below the global WMARK_MIN, which is kind of like the idea behind ALLOC_HARDER, see gfp_to_alloc_flags(). Positive memory.wmark_min_adj means low QoS requirements, thus when allocation broke memcg min watermark, it should trigger direct reclaim traditionally, and we trigger throttle instead to further prevent them from disturbing others. With this interface, we can assign positive values for BATCH memcgs and negative values for LS memcgs. memory.wmark_min_adj default value is 0, and inherit from its parent, Note that the final effective wmark_min_adj will consider all the hierarchical values, its value is the maximal(most conservative) wmark_min_adj along the hierarchy but excluding intermediate default values(zero).

commit 0e56acae4b4dd4a9fbe897854ab83a109e2a9e11 upstream. Add yet another iterator, for_each_free_mem_range_in_zone_from, and then use it to support initializing and freeing pages in groups no larger than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. By doing this we can greatly improve the cache locality of the pages while we do several loops over them in the init and freeing process. We are able to tighten the loops further as a result of the "from" iterator as we can perform the initial checks for first_init_pfn in our first call to the iterator, and continue without the need for those checks via the "from" iterator. I have added this functionality in the function called deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone that primes the iterator and causes us to exit if we encounter any failure. On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction in initialization time from 1.85s to 1.38s as a result of this patch.

This iterator will take care of making sure a given memory range provided is in fact contained within a zone. It takes are of all the bounds checking we were doing in deferred_grow_zone, and deferred_init_memmap. In addition it should help to speed up the search a bit by iterating until the end of a range is greater than the start of the zone pfn range, and will exit completely if the start is beyond the end of the zone.

commit 56ec43d8b02719402c9fcf984feb52ec2300f8a5 upstream. As best as I can tell the meminit_pfn_in_nid call is completely redundant. The deferred memory initialization is already making use of for_each_free_mem_range which in turn will call into __next_mem_range which will only return a memory range if it matches the node ID provided assuming it is not NUMA_NO_NODE. I am operating on the assumption that there are no zones or pgdata_t structures that have a NUMA node of NUMA_NO_NODE associated with them. If that is the case then __next_mem_range will never return a memory range that doesn't match the zone's node ID and as such the check is redundant. So one piece I would like to verify on this is if this works for ia64. Technically it was using a different approach to get the node ID, but it seems to have the node ID also encoded into the memblock. So I am assuming this is okay, but would like to get confirmation on that. On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction in initialization time from 2.80s to 1.85s as a result of this patch.

So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except HugeTLB. And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

commit 364c1eebe453f06f0c1e837eb155a5725c9cd272 upstream Patch series "Make deferred split shrinker memcg aware", v6. Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would run into premature OOM easily: $ cgcreate -g memory:thp $ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes $ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000 transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest. It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware. Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's deferred split queue too. Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues. Make deferred split shrinker not depend on memcg kmem since it is not slab. It doesn't make sense to not shrink THP even though memcg kmem is disabled. With the above change the test demonstrated above doesn't trigger OOM even though with cgroup.memory=nokmem. This patch (of 4): Put split_queue, split_queue_lock and split_queue_len into a struct in order to reduce code duplication when we convert deferred_split to memcg aware in the later patches.
