We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still mishandled: #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char *map; int fd; system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat"); fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR); unlink("chigurh"); ftruncate(fd, 4096); map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); map[0] = 11; mlock(map, sizeof(fd)); ftruncate(fd, 0); close(fd); munlock(map, sizeof(fd)); munmap(map, 4096); system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat"); return 0; } The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to look out for them there in page_remove_rmap(). Indeed, why should truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing from pagecache? mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock: invalidate_inode_pages2 invalidate_complete_page2 spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock) clear_page_mlock isolate_lru_page spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock) isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally: invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock. Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree. I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again) under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.

Remove vmtruncate_range(), and remove the truncate_range method from struct inode_operations: only tmpfs ever supported it, and tmpfs has now converted over to using the fallocate method of file_operations. Update Documentation accordingly, adding (setlease and) fallocate lines. And while we're in mm.h, remove duplicate declarations of shmem_lock() and shmem_file_setup(): everyone is now using the ones in shmem_fs.h.

Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers). This is not really a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas. Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range(). Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range: POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify, difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is attempting to implement it.

Make the pagevec_lookup loops in truncate_inode_pages_range(), invalidate_mapping_pages() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range() more consistent with each other. They were relying upon page->index of an unlocked page, but apologizing for it: accept it, embrace it, add comments and WARN_ONs, and simplify the index handling. invalidate_inode_pages2_range() had special handling for a wrapped page->index + 1 = 0 case; but MAX_LFS_FILESIZE doesn't let us anywhere near there, and a corrupt page->index in the radix_tree could cause more trouble than that would catch. Remove that wrapped handling. invalidate_inode_pages2_range() uses min() to limit the pagevec_lookup when near the end of the range: copy that into the other two, although it's less useful than you might think (it limits the use of the buffer, rather than the indices looked up).

i_alloc_sem is a rather special rw_semaphore. It's the last one that may be released by a non-owner, and it's write side is always mirrored by real exclusion. It's intended use it to wait for all pending direct I/O requests to finish before starting a truncate. Replace it with a hand-grown construct: - exclusion for truncates is already guaranteed by i_mutex, so it can simply fall way - the reader side is replaced by an i_dio_count member in struct inode that counts the number of pending direct I/O requests. Truncate can't proceed as long as it's non-zero - when i_dio_count reaches non-zero we wake up a pending truncate using wake_up_bit on a new bit in i_flags - new references to i_dio_count can't appear while we are waiting for it to read zero because the direct I/O count always needs i_mutex (or an equivalent like XFS's i_iolock) for starting a new operation. This scheme is much simpler, and saves the space of a spinlock_t and a struct list_head in struct inode (typically 160 bits on a non-debug 64-bit system).

2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate(). We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together. Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr. Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr(). Instead of calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range(). Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range(): now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range, there is no need to call it a third time. Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice). Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing ->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly, whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations - shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.

This fourth patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the core hooks in VFS for: initializing cleancache per filesystem; capturing clean pages reclaimed by page cache; attempting to get pages from cleancache before filesystem read; and ensuring coherency between pagecache, disk, and cleancache. Note that the placement of these hooks was stable from 2.6.18 to 2.6.38; a minor semantic change was required due to a patchset in 2.6.39. All hooks become no-ops if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is unset, or become a check of a boolean global if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is set but no cleancache "backend" has claimed cleancache_ops.

Recently, there are reported problem about thrashing. (http://marc.info/?l=rsync&m=128885034930933&w=2) It happens by backup workloads(ex, nightly rsync). That's because the workload makes just use-once pages and touches pages twice. It promotes the page into active list so that it results in working set page eviction. Some app developer want to support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE. But other OSes don't support it, either. (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=128928979512086&w=2) By other approach, app developers use POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED. But it has a problem. If kernel meets page is writing during invalidate_mapping_pages, it can't work. It makes for application programmer to use it since they always have to sync data before calling fadivse(..POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to make sure the pages could be discardable. At last, they can't use deferred write of kernel so that they could see performance loss. (http://insights.oetiker.ch/linux/fadvise.html) In fact, invalidation is very big hint to reclaimer. It means we don't use the page any more. So let's move the writing page into inactive list's head if we can't truncate it right now. Why I move page to head of lru on this patch, Dirty/Writeback page would be flushed sooner or later. It can prevent writeout of pageout which is less effective than flusher's writeout.

Make sure we check the truncate constraints early on in ->setattr by adding those checks to inode_change_ok. Also clean up and document inode_change_ok to make this obvious. As a fallout we don't have to call inode_newsize_ok from simple_setsize and simplify it down to a truncate_setsize which doesn't return an error. This simplifies a lot of setattr implementations and means we use truncate_setsize almost everywhere. Get rid of fat_setsize now that it's trivial and mark ext2_setsize static to make the calling convention obvious. Keep the inode_newsize_ok in vmtruncate for now as all callers need an audit for its removal anyway. Note: setattr code in ecryptfs doesn't call inode_change_ok at all and needs a deeper audit, but that is left for later.

Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced previously should be used. simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go away. simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache). To implement the new truncate sequence: - filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in the setattr method rather than ->truncate. - vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed in the fs code. - convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin, cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous). - inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode. - make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence. Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle block deallocation).

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

If __block_prepare_write() was failed in block_write_begin(), the allocated blocks can be outside of ->i_size. But new truncate_pagecache() in vmtuncate() does nothing if new < old. It means the above usage is not working anymore. So, this patch fixes it by removing "new < old" check. It would need more cleanup/change. But, now -rc and truncate working is in progress, so, this tried to fix it minimum change.

In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one. Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic, - charge is done one by one via demand-paging. - uncharge is done by - in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve... - one by one via vmscan/paging. It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability at unmap/truncation. This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c). The degree of coalescing depends on callers - at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size - at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE (memory itself will be freed in this degree.) Then, we'll not coalescing too much. On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults in 60secs. [without memcg config] 40156968 page-faults # 0.085 M/sec ( +- 0.046% ) 27.67 cache-miss/faults [root cgroup] 36659599 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec ( +- 0.247% ) 31.58 miss/faults [in a child cgroup] 18444157 page-faults # 0.039 M/sec ( +- 0.133% ) 69.96 miss/faults [child with this patch] 27133719 page-faults # 0.057 M/sec ( +- 0.155% ) 47.16 miss/faults We can see some amounts of improvement. (root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch) Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more. Changelog(since 2009/10/02): - renamed filed of memcg_batch (as pages to bytes, memsw to memsw_bytes) - some clean up and commentary/description updates. - added initialize code to copy_process(). (possible bug fix) Changelog(old): - fixed !CONFIG_MEM_CGROUP case. - rebased onto the latest mmotm + softlimit fix patches. - unified patch for callers - added commetns. - make ->do_batch as bool. - removed css_get() at el.

Truncating metadata pages is not safe right now before we haven't audited all file systems. To enable truncation only for data address space define a new address_space callback error_remove_page. This is used for memory_failure.c memory error handling. This can be then set to truncate_inode_page() This patch just defines the new operation and adds documentation. Callers and users come in followon patches. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

mapping->tree_lock can be acquired from interrupt context. Then, following dead lock can occur. Assume "A" as a page. CPU0: lock_page_cgroup(A) interrupted -> take mapping->tree_lock. CPU1: take mapping->tree_lock -> lock_page_cgroup(A) This patch tries to fix above deadlock by moving memcg's hook to out of mapping->tree_lock. charge/uncharge of pagecache/swapcache is protected by page lock, not tree_lock. After this patch, lock_page_cgroup() is not called under mapping->tree_lock.

Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management. The following extra flag is defined: (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2) The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the cache driver. If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation. The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

Dio write returns EIO when try_to_release_page fails because bh is still referenced. The patch commit 3f31fddf Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Fri Jul 25 01:46:22 2008 -0700 jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough to fix the race. I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still sometimes got EIO through this test. The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage. : background_writeout() ->write_cache_pages() ->ext3_ordered_writepage() walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page : <- end_page_writeback : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails) walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of try_to_release_page. To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer (!TestSetPageLocked_Lock => trylock_page, SetPageLocked => set_page_locked).

Brian Wang reported that a FUSE filesystem exported through NFS could return I/O errors on read. This was traced to splice_direct_to_actor() returning a short or zero count when racing with page invalidation. However this is not FUSE or NFSD specific, other filesystems (notably NFS) also call invalidate_inode_pages2() to purge stale data from the cache. If this happens while such pages are sitting in a pipe buffer, then splice(2) from the pipe can return zero, and read(2) from the pipe can return ENODATA. The zero return is especially bad, since it implies end-of-file or disconnected pipe/socket, and is documented as such for splice. But returning an error for read() is also nasty, when in fact there was no error (data becoming stale is not an error). The same problems can be triggered by "hole punching" with madvise(MADV_REMOVE). Fix this by not clearing the PG_uptodate flag on truncation and invalidation.
