The zlc is used on NUMA machines to quickly skip over zones that are full. However it is always updated, even for the first zone scanned when the zlc might not even be active. As it's a write to a bitmap that potentially bounces cache line it's deceptively expensive and most machines will not care. Only update the zlc if it was active.

Synchronous memory compaction can be very expensive: it can iterate an enormous amount of memory without aborting, constantly rescheduling, waiting on page locks and lru_lock, etc, if a pageblock cannot be defragmented. Unfortunately, it's too expensive for transparent hugepage page faults and it's much better to simply fallback to pages. On 128GB machines, we find that synchronous memory compaction can take O(seconds) for a single thp fault. Now that async compaction remembers where it left off without strictly relying on sync compaction, this makes thp allocations best-effort without causing egregious latency during fault. We still need to retry async compaction after reclaim, but this won't stall for seconds.

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool. Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction depending on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to avoid unnecessary latency. This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page, however, it frees the destination page back to the system. This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory. If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages, it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch introduces no functional change.

For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get allocated prematurely and e.g. fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks. While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should prevent the misplacement where possible. Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used. This happens because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype. This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from) is used. Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist. Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can be removed completely. This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above. The related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp lists containing pages that should be isolated. The buffered_rmqueue() can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of get_pageblock_migratetype().

pgdat->reclaim_nodes tracks if a remote node is allowed to be reclaimed by zone_reclaim due to its distance. As it is expected that zone_reclaim_mode will be rarely enabled it is unreasonable for all machines to take a penalty. Fortunately, the zone_reclaim_mode() path is already slow and it is the path that takes the hit.

When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA node. NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the problem. Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a sensible default for the bulk of users. This patch (of 2): zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from local node instead of spilling over to other nodes. This made sense initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the workload was partitioned into nodes. The NUMA penalties were sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory. On current machines and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys performance but not all users know how to detect this. Favour the common case and disable it by default. Users that are sophisticated enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g. threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg. The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of the current memory cgroup.

A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call get_page() and a few other routines. This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL. Longer explanation: Prior to commit 309381fe ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL) drivers on Fedora. Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG. Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(), via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page(). As one of the authors of NVIDIA's new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c, because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use by non-GPL, driver code. So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be too controversial. We did check with Fedora first, and they responded (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change. Their reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes. This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") and fff4068c ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy"). Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones, including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now, the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely. Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds. This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up. However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory which could be swapped out. In the end it turned out that the OOM was a side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and so the system was pushed to the OOM. Although this sounds like a bug somewhere in the kswapd vs. zone reclaim vs. direct reclaim interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim should not have been set in the first place: node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 7168 MB node 2 free: 6019 MB node distances: node 0 2 0: 10 40 2: 40 10 So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory while Node2 contains all the available memory. Node distances cause an automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling. Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't make any sense on the memoryless nodes. So let's exclude such nodes for init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and suitable reclaim_nodes.

Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative fast-paths. Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the seqcount interface. This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous incarnation.

Jan Stancek reports manual page migration encountering allocation failures after some pages when there is still plenty of memory free, and bisected the problem down to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy"). The problem is that GFP_THISNODE obeys the zone fairness allocation batches on one hand, but doesn't reset them and wake kswapd on the other hand. After a few of those allocations, the batches are exhausted and the allocations fail. Fixing this means either having GFP_THISNODE wake up kswapd, or GFP_THISNODE not participating in zone fairness at all. The latter seems safer as an acute bugfix, we can clean up later.

Commit bf6bddf1 ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page). This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page pointer. This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head() implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set. This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the memory barriers are unfortunately required. Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier during init since no race is possible.

It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set.

If users specify the original movablecore=nn@ss boot option, the kernel will arrange [ss, ss+nn) as ZONE_MOVABLE. The kernelcore=nn@ss boot option is similar except it specifies ZONE_NORMAL ranges. Now, if users specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline, the kernel will arrange hotpluggable memory in SRAT as ZONE_MOVABLE. And if users do this, all the other movablecore=nn@ss and kernelcore=nn@ss options should be ignored. For those who don't want this, just specify nothing. The kernel will act as before.

Commit 4b59e6c4 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to suppress PFN walks on large memory machines. Commit c78e9363 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case. This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity. ARM and unicore32 still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of use. As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

Yasuaki Ishimatsu reported memory hot-add spent more than 5 _hours_ on 9TB memory machine since onlining memory sections is too slow. And we found out setup_zone_migrate_reserve spent >90% of the time. The problem is, setup_zone_migrate_reserve scans all pageblocks unconditionally, but it is only necessary if the number of reserved block was reduced (i.e. memory hot remove). Moreover, maximum MIGRATE_RESERVE per zone is currently 2. It means that the number of reserved pageblocks is almost always unchanged. This patch adds zone->nr_migrate_reserve_block to maintain the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks and it reduces the overhead of setup_zone_migrate_reserve dramatically. The following table shows time of onlining a memory section. Amount of memory | 128GB | 192GB | 256GB| --------------------------------------------- linux-3.12 | 23.9 | 31.4 | 44.5 | This patch | 8.3 | 8.3 | 8.6 | Mel's proposal patch | 10.9 | 19.2 | 31.3 | --------------------------------------------- (millisecond) 128GB : 4 nodes and each node has 32GB of memory 192GB : 6 nodes and each node has 32GB of memory 256GB : 8 nodes and each node has 32GB of memory (*1) Mel proposed his idea by the following threads. https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/30/272 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment] Signed-off-by: NKOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NYasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Reported-by: NYasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Tested-by: NYasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems. Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the highest zone in the node. While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes - remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality over memory utilization. The original change assumed that zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip. Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to make it configurable and agree on a sane default.

This reverts commit 73f038b8. The NUMA behaviour of this patch is less than ideal. An alternative approch is to interleave allocations only within local zones which is implemented in the next patch.

Dave Hansen noted a regression in a microbenchmark that loops around open() and close() on an 8-node NUMA machine and bisected it down to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy"). That change forces the slab allocations of the file descriptor to spread out to all 8 nodes, causing remote references in the page allocator and slab. The round-robin policy is only there to provide fairness among memory allocations that are reclaimed involuntarily based on pressure in each zone. It does not make sense to apply it to unreclaimable kernel allocations that are freed manually, in this case instantly after the allocation, and incur the remote reference costs twice for no reason. Only round-robin allocations that are usually freed through page reclaim or slab shrinking. Bisected by Dave Hansen.

When __rmqueue_fallback() doesn't find a free block with the required size it splits a larger page and puts the rest of the page onto the free list. But it has one serious mistake. When putting back, __rmqueue_fallback() always use start_migratetype if type is not CMA. However, __rmqueue_fallback() is only called when all of the start_migratetype queue is empty. That said, __rmqueue_fallback always puts back memory to the wrong queue except try_to_steal_freepages() changed pageblock type (i.e. requested size is smaller than half of page block). The end result is that the antifragmentation framework increases fragmenation instead of decreasing it. Mel's original anti fragmentation does the right thing. But commit 47118af0 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") broke it. This patch restores sane and old behavior. It also removes an incorrect comment which was introduced by commit fef903ef ("mm/page_alloc.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug").

In general, every tracepoint should be zero overhead if it is disabled. However, trace_mm_page_alloc_extfrag() is one of exception. It evaluate "new_type == start_migratetype" even if tracepoint is disabled. However, the code can be moved into tracepoint's TP_fast_assign() and TP_fast_assign exist exactly such purpose. This patch does it.

Currently, set_pageblock_migratetype() screws up MIGRATE_CMA and MIGRATE_ISOLATE if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is true. It rewrites the argument to MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE and we lost these attribute. The problem was introduced by commit 49255c61 ("page allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath"). So a 4 year old issue may mean that nobody uses page_group_by_mobility_disabled. But anyway, this patch fixes the problem.
