When memblock_reserve() fails because memblock.reserved.regions cannot be resized, the caller (e.g. alloc_bootmem()) is not informed of the failed allocation. Therefore alloc_bootmem() silently returns the same pointer again and again. This patch adds a check for the return value of memblock_reserve() in __alloc_memory_core().

Currently we take both the memcg_create_mutex and the set_limit_mutex when we enable kmem accounting for a memory cgroup, which makes kmem activation events serialize with both memcg creations and other memcg limit updates (memory.limit, memory.memsw.limit). However, there is no point in such strict synchronization rules there. First, the set_limit_mutex was introduced to keep the memory.limit and memory.memsw.limit values in sync. Since memory.kmem.limit can be set independently of them, it is better to introduce a separate mutex to synchronize against concurrent kmem limit updates. Second, we take the memcg_create_mutex in order to make sure all children of this memcg will be kmem-active as well. For achieving that, it is enough to hold this mutex only while checking if memcg_has_children() though. This guarantees that if a child is added after we checked that the memcg has no children, the newly added cgroup will see its parent kmem-active (of course if the latter succeeded), and call kmem activation for itself. This patch simplifies the locking rules of memcg_update_kmem_limit() according to these considerations.

Currently we have two state bits in mem_cgroup::kmem_account_flags regarding kmem accounting activation, ACTIVATED and ACTIVE. We start kmem accounting only if both flags are set (memcg_can_account_kmem()), plus throughout the code there are several places where we check only the ACTIVE flag, but we never check the ACTIVATED flag alone. These flags are both set from memcg_update_kmem_limit() under the set_limit_mutex, the ACTIVE flag always being set after ACTIVATED, and they never get cleared. That said checking if both flags are set is equivalent to checking only for the ACTIVE flag, and since there is no ACTIVATED flag checks, we can safely remove the ACTIVATED flag, and nothing will change. Let's try to understand what was the reason for introducing these flags. The purpose of the ACTIVE flag is clear - it states that kmem should be accounting to the cgroup. The only requirement for it is that it should be set after we have fully initialized kmem accounting bits for the cgroup and patched all static branches relating to kmem accounting. Since we always check if static branch is enabled before actually considering if we should account (otherwise we wouldn't benefit from static branching), this guarantees us that we won't skip a commit or uncharge after a charge due to an unpatched static branch. Now let's move on to the ACTIVATED bit. As I proved in the beginning of this message, it is absolutely useless, and removing it will change nothing. So what was the reason introducing it? The ACTIVATED flag was introduced by commit a8964b9b ("memcg: use static branches when code not in use") in order to guarantee that static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key) would be called only once for each memory cgroup when its kmem accounting was activated. The point was that at that time the memcg_update_kmem_limit() function's work-flow looked like this: bool must_inc_static_branch = false; cgroup_lock(); mutex_lock(&set_limit_mutex); if (!memcg->kmem_account_flags && val != RESOURCE_MAX) { /* The kmem limit is set for the first time */ ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val); memcg_kmem_set_activated(memcg); must_inc_static_branch = true; } else ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val); mutex_unlock(&set_limit_mutex); cgroup_unlock(); if (must_inc_static_branch) { /* We can't do this under cgroup_lock */ static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key); memcg_kmem_set_active(memcg); } So that without the ACTIVATED flag we could race with other threads trying to set the limit and increment the static branching ref-counter more than once. Today we call the whole memcg_update_kmem_limit() function under the set_limit_mutex and this race is impossible. As now we understand why the ACTIVATED bit was introduced and why we don't need it now, and know that removing it will change nothing anyway, let's get rid of it.

We relocate root cache's memcg_params whenever we need to grow the memcg_caches array to accommodate all kmem-active memory cgroups. Currently on relocation we free the old version immediately, which can lead to use-after-free, because the memcg_caches array is accessed lock-free (see cache_from_memcg_idx()). This patch fixes this by making memcg_params RCU-protected for root caches.

We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array. If we find no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()). The cache creation proceeds asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed. However, due to a race in the code, it is not always true. The point is that the memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()). If memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache. Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache. One of them successfully creates it. Another one should fail then, but if memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as follows, it won't: memcg_create_kmem_cache() memcg_update_cache_size() (called w/o mutexes held) (called with slab_mutex, set_limit_mutex held) ------------------------- ------------------------- mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex) s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...) new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx) // new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i] =cur_params->memcg_caches[i] // kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex // so we will hang around until // memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but // nothing will prevent it from succeeding so // memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in // memcg_register_cache! new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...) mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex) Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it return NULL if so. A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see kmem_cache_destroy()). Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer. Therefore memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the slab_mutex.

All caches of the same memory cgroup are linked in the memcg_slab_caches list via kmem_cache::memcg_params::list. This list is traversed, for example, when we read memory.kmem.slabinfo. Since the list actually consists of memcg_cache_params objects, we have to convert an element of the list to a kmem_cache object using memcg_params_to_cache(), which obtains the pointer to the cache from the memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the corresponding root cache. That said the pointer to a kmem_cache in its parent's memcg_params must be initialized before adding the cache to the list, and cleared only after it has been unlinked. Currently it is vice-versa, which can result in a NULL ptr dereference while traversing the memcg_slab_caches list. This patch restores the correct order.

Each root kmem_cache has pointers to per-memcg caches stored in its memcg_params::memcg_caches array. Whenever we want to allocate a slab for a memcg, we access this array to get per-memcg cache to allocate from (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()). The access must be lock-free for performance reasons, so we should use barriers to assert the kmem_cache is up-to-date. First, we should place a write barrier immediately before setting the pointer to it in the memcg_caches array in order to make sure nobody will see a partially initialized object. Second, we should issue a read barrier before dereferencing the pointer to conform to the write barrier. However, currently the barrier usage looks rather strange. We have a write barrier *after* setting the pointer and a read barrier *before* reading the pointer, which is incorrect. This patch fixes this.

Currently, we have rather a messy function set relating to per-memcg kmem cache initialization/destruction. Per-memcg caches are created in memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function calls kmem_cache_create_memcg() to allocate and initialize a kmem cache and then "registers" the new cache in the memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the parent cache. During its work-flow, kmem_cache_create_memcg() executes the following memcg-related functions: - memcg_alloc_cache_params(), to initialize memcg_params of the newly created cache; - memcg_cache_list_add(), to add the new cache to the memcg_slab_caches list. On the other hand, kmem_cache_destroy() called on a cache destruction only calls memcg_release_cache(), which does all the work: it cleans the reference to the cache in its parent's memcg_params::memcg_caches, removes the cache from the memcg_slab_caches list, and frees memcg_params. Such an inconsistency between destruction and initialization paths make the code difficult to read, so let's clean this up a bit. This patch moves all the code relating to registration of per-memcg caches (adding to memcg list, setting the pointer to a cache from its parent) to the newly created memcg_register_cache() and memcg_unregister_cache() functions making the initialization and destruction paths look symmetrical.

Currently kmem_cache_create_memcg() backoffs on failure inside conditionals, without using gotos. This results in the rollback code duplication, which makes the function look cumbersome even though on error we should only free the allocated cache. Since in the next patch I am going to add yet another rollback function call on error path there, let's employ labels instead of conditionals for undoing any changes on failure to keep things clean.

This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual BUG_ON.

The vmalloc was introduced by 33327948 ("memcgroup: use vmalloc for mem_cgroup allocation"), because at that time MAX_NUMNODES was used for defining the per-node array in the mem_cgroup structure so that the structure could be huge even if the system had the only NUMA node. The situation was significantly improved by commit 45cf7ebd ("memcg: reduce the size of struct memcg 244-fold"), which made the size of the mem_cgroup structure calculated dynamically depending on the real number of NUMA nodes installed on the system (nr_node_ids), so now there is no point in using vmalloc here: the structure is allocated rarely and on most systems its size is about 1K.

Since commit ff6a6da6 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. There is some attempt to prevent bad consequences of racing with a THP page split, but code inspection indicates that there are two problems that may lead to a non-fatal, yet wrong outcome. First, __split_huge_page_refcount() copies flags including PageMlocked from the head page to the tail pages. Clearing PageMlocked by munlock_vma_page() in the middle of this operation might result in part of tail pages left with PageMlocked flag. As the head page still appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed, munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip all the former tail pages. Before ff6a6da6, those pages would be cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK would still become undercounted (related the next point). Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after the PageMlocked is cleared. The accounting might also become inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount() - undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before ff6a6da6) - overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from additional tail pages This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in munlock_vma_page(). This is convenient because: - __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation - munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new __munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.

bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page. But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad, or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL. This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set. This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad, *specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page flag combination which was the problem.

Compaction used to start its migrate and free page scaners at the zone's lowest and highest pfn, respectively. Later, caching was introduced to remember the scanners' progress across compaction attempts so that pageblocks are not re-scanned uselessly. Additionally, pageblocks where isolation failed are marked to be quickly skipped when encountered again in future compactions. Currently, both the reset of cached pfn's and clearing of the pageblock skip information for a zone is done in __reset_isolation_suitable(). This function gets called when: - compaction is restarting after being deferred - compact_blockskip_flush flag is set in compact_finished() when the scanners meet (and not again cleared when direct compaction succeeds in allocation) and kswapd acts upon this flag before going to sleep This behavior is suboptimal for several reasons: - when direct sync compaction is called after async compaction fails (in the allocation slowpath), it will effectively do nothing, unless kswapd happens to process the compact_blockskip_flush flag meanwhile. This is racy and goes against the purpose of sync compaction to more thoroughly retry the compaction of a zone where async compaction has failed. The restart-after-deferring path cannot help here as deferring happens only after the sync compaction fails. It is also done only for the preferred zone, while the compaction might be done for a fallback zone. - the mechanism of marking pageblock to be skipped has little value since the cached pfn's are reset only together with the pageblock skip flags. This effectively limits pageblock skip usage to parallel compactions. This patch changes compact_finished() so that cached pfn's are reset immediately when the scanners meet. Clearing pageblock skip flags is unchanged, as well as the other situations where cached pfn's are reset. This allows the sync-after-async compaction to retry pageblocks not marked as skipped, such as blocks !MIGRATE_MOVABLE blocks that async compactions now skips without marking them.

Compaction temporarily marks pageblocks where it fails to isolate pages as to-be-skipped in further compactions, in order to improve efficiency. One of the reasons to fail isolating pages is that isolation is not attempted in pageblocks that are not of MIGRATE_MOVABLE (or CMA) type. The problem is that blocks skipped due to not being MIGRATE_MOVABLE in async compaction become skipped due to the temporary mark also in future sync compaction. Moreover, this may follow quite soon during __alloc_page_slowpath, without much time for kswapd to clear the pageblock skip marks. This goes against the idea that sync compaction should try to scan these blocks more thoroughly than the async compaction. The fix is to ensure in async compaction that these !MIGRATE_MOVABLE blocks are not marked to be skipped. Note this should not affect performance or locking impact of further async compactions, as skipping a block due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE is done soon after skipping a block marked to be skipped, both without locking.

Compaction of a zone is finished when the migrate scanner (which begins at the zone's lowest pfn) meets the free page scanner (which begins at the zone's highest pfn). This is detected in compact_zone() and in the case of direct compaction, the compact_blockskip_flush flag is set so that kswapd later resets the cached scanner pfn's, and a new compaction may again start at the zone's borders. The meeting of the scanners can happen during either scanner's activity. However, it may currently fail to be detected when it occurs in the free page scanner, due to two problems. First, isolate_freepages() keeps free_pfn at the highest block where it isolated pages from, for the purposes of not missing the pages that are returned back to allocator when migration fails. Second, failing to isolate enough free pages due to scanners meeting results in -ENOMEM being returned by migrate_pages(), which makes compact_zone() bail out immediately without calling compact_finished() that would detect scanners meeting. This failure to detect scanners meeting might result in repeated attempts at compaction of a zone that keep starting from the cached pfn's close to the meeting point, and quickly failing through the -ENOMEM path, without the cached pfns being reset, over and over. This has been observed (through additional tracepoints) in the third phase of the mmtests stress-highalloc benchmark, where the allocator runs on an otherwise idle system. The problem was observed in the DMA32 zone, which was used as a fallback to the preferred Normal zone, but on the 4GB system it was actually the largest zone. The problem is even amplified for such fallback zone - the deferred compaction logic, which could (after being fixed by a previous patch) reset the cached scanner pfn's, is only applied to the preferred zone and not for the fallbacks. The problem in the third phase of the benchmark was further amplified by commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") which resulted in a non-deterministic regression of the allocation success rate from ~85% to ~65%. This occurs in about half of benchmark runs, making bisection problematic. It is unlikely that the commit itself is buggy, but it should put more pressure on the DMA32 zone during phases 1 and 2, which may leave it more fragmented in phase 3 and expose the bugs that this patch fixes. The fix is to make scanners meeting in isolate_freepage() stay that way, and to check in compact_zone() for scanners meeting when migrate_pages() returns -ENOMEM. The result is that compact_finished() also detects scanners meeting and sets the compact_blockskip_flush flag to make kswapd reset the scanner pfn's. The results in stress-highalloc benchmark show that the "regression" by commit 81c0a2bb in phase 3 no longer occurs, and phase 1 and 2 allocation success rates are also significantly improved.

Compaction caches pfn's for its migrate and free scanners to avoid scanning the whole zone each time. In compact_zone(), the cached values are read to set up initial values for the scanners. There are several situations when these cached pfn's are reset to the first and last pfn of the zone, respectively. One of these situations is when a compaction has been deferred for a zone and is now being restarted during a direct compaction, which is also done in compact_zone(). However, compact_zone() currently reads the cached pfn's *before* resetting them. This means the reset doesn't affect the compaction that performs it, and with good chance also subsequent compactions, as update_pageblock_skip() is likely to be called and update the cached pfn's to those being processed. Another chance for a successful reset is when a direct compaction detects that migration and free scanners meet (which has its own problems addressed by another patch) and sets update_pageblock_skip flag which kswapd uses to do the reset because it goes to sleep. This is clearly a bug that results in non-deterministic behavior, so this patch moves the cached pfn reset to be performed *before* the values are read.

Currently there are several functions to manipulate the deferred compaction state variables. The remaining case where the variables are touched directly is when a successful allocation occurs in direct compaction, or is expected to be successful in the future by kswapd. Here, the lowest order that is expected to fail is updated, and in the case of successful allocation, the deferred status and counter is reset completely. Create a new function compaction_defer_reset() to encapsulate this functionality and make it easier to understand the code. No functional change.

The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform. Another set of results is when configuring stress-highalloc t allocate with similar flags as THP uses: (GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NO_KSWAPD) stress-highalloc 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 2-thp 3-thp 4-thp 5-thp 6-thp Success 1 Min 2.00 ( 0.00%) 7.00 (-250.00%) 18.00 (-800.00%) 19.00 (-850.00%) 26.00 (-1200.00%) Success 1 Mean 19.20 ( 0.00%) 17.80 ( 7.29%) 29.20 (-52.08%) 29.90 (-55.73%) 32.80 (-70.83%) Success 1 Max 27.00 ( 0.00%) 29.00 ( -7.41%) 35.00 (-29.63%) 36.00 (-33.33%) 37.00 (-37.04%) Success 2 Min 3.00 ( 0.00%) 8.00 (-166.67%) 21.00 (-600.00%) 21.00 (-600.00%) 32.00 (-966.67%) Success 2 Mean 19.30 ( 0.00%) 17.90 ( 7.25%) 32.20 (-66.84%) 32.60 (-68.91%) 35.70 (-84.97%) Success 2 Max 27.00 ( 0.00%) 30.00 (-11.11%) 36.00 (-33.33%) 37.00 (-37.04%) 39.00 (-44.44%) Success 3 Min 62.00 ( 0.00%) 62.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 (-37.10%) 75.00 (-20.97%) 64.00 ( -3.23%) Success 3 Mean 66.30 ( 0.00%) 65.50 ( 1.21%) 85.60 (-29.11%) 83.40 (-25.79%) 83.50 (-25.94%) Success 3 Max 70.00 ( 0.00%) 69.00 ( 1.43%) 87.00 (-24.29%) 86.00 (-22.86%) 87.00 (-24.29%) 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 2-thp 3-thp 4-thp 5-thp 6-thp User 6547.93 6475.85 6265.54 6289.46 6189.96 System 1053.42 1047.28 1043.23 1042.73 1038.73 Elapsed 1835.43 1821.96 1908.67 1912.74 1956.38 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 2-thp 3-thp 4-thp 5-thp 6-thp Minor Faults 256805673 253106328 253222299 249830289 251184418 Major Faults 395 375 423 434 448 Swap Ins 12 10 10 12 9 Swap Outs 530 537 487 455 415 Direct pages scanned 71859 86046 153244 152764 190713 Kswapd pages scanned 1900994 1870240 1898012 1892864 1880520 Kswapd pages reclaimed 1897814 1867428 1894939 1890125 1877924 Direct pages reclaimed 71766 85908 153167 152643 190600 Kswapd efficiency 99% 99% 99% 99% 99% Kswapd velocity 1029.000 1067.782 1000.091 991.049 951.218 Direct efficiency 99% 99% 99% 99% 99% Direct velocity 38.897 49.127 80.747 79.983 96.468 Percentage direct scans 3% 4% 7% 7% 9% Zone normal velocity 351.377 372.494 348.910 341.689 335.310 Zone dma32 velocity 716.520 744.414 731.928 729.343 712.377 Zone dma velocity 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 Page writes by reclaim 669.300 604.000 545.700 538.900 429.900 Page writes file 138 66 58 83 14 Page writes anon 530 537 487 455 415 Page reclaim immediate 806 655 772 548 517 Sector Reads 2711956 2703239 2811602 2818248 2839459 Sector Writes 12163238 12018662 12038248 11954736 11994892 Page rescued immediate 0 0 0 0 0 Slabs scanned 1385088 1388364 1507968 1513292 1558656 Direct inode steals 1739 2564 4622 5496 6007 Kswapd inode steals 47461 46406 47804 48013 48466 Kswapd skipped wait 0 0 0 0 0 THP fault alloc 110 82 84 69 70 THP collapse alloc 445 482 467 462 539 THP splits 6 5 4 5 3 THP fault fallback 3 0 0 0 0 THP collapse fail 15 14 14 14 13 Compaction stalls 659 685 1033 1073 1111 Compaction success 222 225 410 427 456 Compaction failures 436 460 622 646 655 Page migrate success 446594 439978 1085640 1095062 1131716 Page migrate failure 0 0 0 0 0 Compaction pages isolated 1029475 1013490 2453074 2482698 2565400 Compaction migrate scanned 9955461 11344259 24375202 27978356 30494204 Compaction free scanned 27715272 28544654 80150615 82898631 85756132 Compaction cost 552 555 1344 1379 1436 NUMA PTE updates 0 0 0 0 0 NUMA hint faults 0 0 0 0 0 NUMA hint local faults 0 0 0 0 0 NUMA hint local percent 100 100 100 100 100 NUMA pages migrated 0 0 0 0 0 AutoNUMA cost 0 0 0 0 0 There are some differences from the previous results for THP-like allocations: - Here, the bad result for unpatched kernel in phase 3 is much more consistent to be between 65-70% and not related to the "regression" in 3.12. Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mem_cgroup_print_oom_info uses a static buffer (memcg_name) to store the name of the cgroup. This is not safe as pointed out by David Rientjes because memcg oom is locked only for its hierarchy and nothing prevents another parallel hierarchy to trigger oom as well and overwrite the already in-use buffer. This patch introduces oom_info_lock hidden inside mem_cgroup_print_oom_info which is held throughout the function. It makes access to memcg_name safe and as a bonus it also prevents parallel memcg ooms to interleave their statistics which would make the printed data hard to analyze otherwise.

KSM pages can be shared between tasks that are not necessarily related to each other from a NUMA perspective. This patch causes those pages to be ignored by automatic NUMA balancing so they do not migrate and do not cause unrelated tasks to be grouped together.

A low local/remote numa hinting fault ratio is potentially explained by failed migrations. This patch adds a tracepoint that fires when migration fails due to migration rate limitation.

NUMA migrate rate limiting protects a migration counter and window using a lock but in some cases this can be a contended lock. It is not critical that the number of pages be perfect, lost updates are acceptable. Reduce the importance of this lock.
