      mm: make compound_head() robust · 1d798ca3
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some
      context. There's one example:
      
      	CPU0					CPU1
      
      isolate_migratepages_block()
        page_count()
          compound_head()
            !!PageTail() == true
      					put_page()
      					  tail->first_page = NULL
            head = tail->first_page
      					alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP)
      					   prep_compound_page()
      					     tail->first_page = head
      					     __SetPageTail(p);
            !!PageTail() == true
          <head == NULL dereferencing>
      
      The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
      practice. But who knows.
      
      We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
      within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.
      
      The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
      front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
      the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.
      
      The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
      architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
      set.
      
      hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
      pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
      in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
      removed from the union.
      
      The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
      limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
      hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.
      
      That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:
      
       - page->lru.next;
       - page->next;
       - page->rcu_head.next;
      
      That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
      bit 0 of the word.
      
      page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
      call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
      call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
      get false positive PageTail().

      mm: introduce idle page tracking · 33c3fc71
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
      memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
      efficiently, e.g.  by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
      Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
      by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
      access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
      clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced.  However,
      this method has two serious shortcomings:
      
       - it does not count unmapped file pages
       - it affects the reclaimer logic
      
      To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
      Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
      A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
      /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
      and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
      (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
      system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
      pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g.  by reading
      /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
      working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
      of pages that are not used by the workload.
      
      The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
      reclaimer.  A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
      table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
      If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
      return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
      cleared.
      
      Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
      uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

      mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" · 033fbae9
      Dan Williams 提交于
      While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace
      there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its
      lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem
      into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages
      separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations.
      Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace
      unbinding the driver of the device.
      
      Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these
      pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory.  Device memory has
      different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM.  However,
      since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently
      depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA.

      mm/zsmalloc: add statistics support · 0f050d99
      Ganesh Mahendran 提交于
      Keeping fragmentation of zsmalloc in a low level is our target.  But now
      we still need to add the debug code in zsmalloc to get the quantitative
      data.
      
      This patch adds a new configuration CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT to enable the
      statistics collection for developers.  Currently only the objects
      statatitics in each class are collected.  User can get the information via
      debugfs.

      We can calculate the overall fragentation by the last line:
          Total               37022      36326      36288
          (37022 - 36326) / 37022 = 1.87%
      
      Also by analysing objects alocated in every class we know why we got so
      low fragmentation: Most of the allocated objects is in <class 254>.  And
      there is only 1 page in class 254 zspage.  So, No fragmentation will be
      introduced by allocating objs in class 254.
      
      And in future, we can collect other zsmalloc statistics as we need and
      analyse them.

      "balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate".  They accumulate balloon
      activity.  Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate)
      pages.
      
      All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON.
      It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature.
      Currently virtio-balloon is the only user.

      mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast() · 2667f50e
      Steve Capper 提交于
      This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and
      __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64.
      
      These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a
      futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the
      core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0).
      
      Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain
      workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast
      implementation.
      
      This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and
      certain KVM workloads.
      
      This patch (of 6):
      
      get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page
      tables directly and avoids taking locks.  Thus the walker needs to be
      protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to
      block any THP splits.
      
      One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely
      on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages
      are freed.
      
      On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus
      the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and
      spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too
      often.
      
      This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page
      table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an
      rcu_sched callback to free the pages.  This RCU page table free logic has
      been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables
      HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE.  Unfortunately, these architectures implement their
      own get_user_pages_fast routines.
      
      The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split
      (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by
      merely disabling the interrupts during the walk.
      
      This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast
      that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB
      invalidations.
      
      It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

      parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size · 042d27ac
      Helge Deller 提交于
      This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
      (currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
      initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
      via a config option.
      
      The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
      memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
      memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
      to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
      as heap then.
      
      This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
      uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
      years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

      zsmalloc: move it under mm · bcf1647d
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
      
      Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
      allocator.
      
      Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
      pages.  It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
      rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
      
      zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
      achieve these design goals.
      
      zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
      "size classes" in zsmalloc terms.  Instead it allows multiple
      single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
      the slab.  This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
      pressure.
      
      Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
      This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
      slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE.  With the
      kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
      the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
      because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
      space.
      
      This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
      directly addressable by the user.  The user is given an
      non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request.  That
      handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
      the mapped region that can be used.  The mapping is necessary since the
      object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.
      
      The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

      mm: dynamically allocate page->ptl if it cannot be embedded to struct page · 49076ec2
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page
      of table's page.  We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too
      big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
      enabled.
      
      This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock
      if we can't embed it to struct page.
      
      page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if
      sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t.
      
      The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in
      pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table.  All other helpers converted to
      support dynamically allocated page->ptl.

      mm: implement split page table lock for PMD level · e009bb30
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
      struct page of table's page.
      
      We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
      take mm->page_table_lock anymore.  Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
      for that.
      
      pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful
      and false otherwise.  Current implementation never fails, but assumption
      that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t
      is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic
      allocation is required.

      This patch (of 11):
      
      CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK increases sizeof(spinlock_t) to 8 bytes.  It
      leads to increase sizeof(struct page) by 4 bytes on 32-bit system if split
      page table lock is in use, since page->ptl shares space in union with
      longs and pointers.
      
      Let's disable split page table lock on 32-bit systems with
      GENERIC_LOCKBREAK enabled.

      mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option · c5320926
      Tang Chen 提交于
      The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.
      As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it
      cannot be hot-removed.  So memory hotplug users may want to set all
      hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it.
      
      Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has
      ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed.
      
      But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE.  By doing this, the
      kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes.  This will cause NUMA
      performance down.  And other users may be unhappy.
      
      So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality.
      In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to
      choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later
      we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.
      
      To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock
      allocation direction.  That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is
      parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in
      the previous patches.  So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel
      does the following:
      
      1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up.
      2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory
         top down.
      
      Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this
      functionality.  For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want
      to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything.  The kernel
      will work as before.

      powerpc: Fix memory hotplug with sparse vmemmap · f7e3334a
      Nathan Fontenot 提交于
      Previous commit 46723bfa... introduced a new config option
      HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE that ended up breaking memory hot-remove for ppc
      when sparse vmemmap is not defined.
      
      This patch defines HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE for ppc and adds the call to
      register_page_bootmem_info_node. Without this we get a BUG_ON for memory
      hot remove in put_page_bootmem().
      
      This also adds a stub for register_page_bootmem_memmap to allow ppc to build
      with sparse vmemmap defined. Leaving this as a stub is fine since the same
      vmemmap addresses are also handled in vmemmap_populate and as such are
      properly mapped.

      zswap: add to mm/ · 2b281117
      Seth Jennings 提交于
      zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the
      process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store
      them in a RAM-based memory pool.  This can result in a significant I/O
      reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from
      RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve
      workload performance.
      
      It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently
      compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis.  This
      functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full,
      the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer
      pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.
      
      This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/
