When using the I/O accessors in raw mode from the boot stubs we don't want to bother with any of the complexity associated with readl/writel and friends. Furthermore, utilization within the context of the host driver itself is all performed on an ioremapped window, so using the __raw variants there doesn't pose any problem either. If and when barriers need to be added in the future, these will need to be explicitly written out, but this is so far not a concern for any of the affected CPUs in question. This fixes up the link error introduced by the ARM tree via its barrier refactoring: arch/arm/boot/compressed/mmcif-sh7372.o: In function `mmcif_loader': mmcif-sh7372.c:(.text+0x9e8): undefined reference to `outer_cache Following the change in: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=6275/1Reported-by: NSimon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

In the current implementation mem_cgroup_end_migration() decides whether the page migration has succeeded or not by checking "oldpage->mapping". But if we are tring to migrate a shmem swapcache, the page->mapping of it is NULL from the begining, so the check would be invalid. As a result, mem_cgroup_end_migration() assumes the migration has succeeded even if it's not, so "newpage" would be freed while it's not uncharged. This patch fixes it by passing mem_cgroup_end_migration() the result of the page migration.

Introduce a new bit spin lock, PCG_MOVE_LOCK, to synchronize the page accounting and migration code. This reworks the locking scheme of _update_stat() and _move_account() by adding new lock bit PCG_MOVE_LOCK, which is always taken under IRQ disable. 1. If pages are being migrated from a memcg, then updates to that memcg page statistics are protected by grabbing PCG_MOVE_LOCK using move_lock_page_cgroup(). In an upcoming commit, memcg dirty page accounting will be updating memcg page accounting (specifically: num writeback pages) from IRQ context (softirq). Avoid a deadlocking nested spin lock attempt by disabling irq on the local processor when grabbing the PCG_MOVE_LOCK. 2. lock for update_page_stat is used only for avoiding race with move_account(). So, IRQ awareness of lock_page_cgroup() itself is not a problem. The problem is between mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and mem_cgroup_move_account_page(). Trade-off: * Changing lock_page_cgroup() to always disable IRQ (or local_bh) has some impacts on performance and I think it's bad to disable IRQ when it's not necessary. * adding a new lock makes move_account() slower. Score is here. Performance Impact: moving a 8G anon process.

This patchset provides the ability for each cgroup to have independent dirty page limits. Limiting dirty memory is like fixing the max amount of dirty (hard to reclaim) page cache used by a cgroup. So, in case of multiple cgroup writers, they will not be able to consume more than their designated share of dirty pages and will be forced to perform write-out if they cross that limit. The patches are based on a series proposed by Andrea Righi in Mar 2010. Overview: - Add page_cgroup flags to record when pages are dirty, in writeback, or nfs unstable. - Extend mem_cgroup to record the total number of pages in each of the interesting dirty states (dirty, writeback, unstable_nfs). - Add dirty parameters similar to the system-wide /proc/sys/vm/dirty_* limits to mem_cgroup. The mem_cgroup dirty parameters are accessible via cgroupfs control files. - Consider both system and per-memcg dirty limits in page writeback when deciding to queue background writeback or block for foreground writeback. Known shortcomings: - When a cgroup dirty limit is exceeded, then bdi writeback is employed to writeback dirty inodes. Bdi writeback considers inodes from any cgroup, not just inodes contributing dirty pages to the cgroup exceeding its limit. - When memory.use_hierarchy is set, then dirty limits are disabled. This is a implementation detail. An enhanced implementation is needed to check the chain of parents to ensure that no dirty limit is exceeded. Performance data: - A page fault microbenchmark workload was used to measure performance, which can be called in read or write mode: f = open(foo. $cpu) truncate(f, 4096) alarm(60) while (1) { p = mmap(f, 4096) if (write) *p = 1 else x = *p munmap(p) } - The workload was called for several points in the patch series in different modes: - s_read is a single threaded reader - s_write is a single threaded writer - p_read is a 16 thread reader, each operating on a different file - p_write is a 16 thread writer, each operating on a different file - Measurements were collected on a 16 core non-numa system using "perf stat --repeat 3". The -a option was used for parallel (p_*) runs. - All numbers are page fault rate (M/sec). Higher is better. - To compare the performance of a kernel without non-memcg compare the first and last rows, neither has memcg configured. The first row does not include any of these memcg patches. - To compare the performance of using memcg dirty limits, compare the baseline (2nd row titled "w/ memcg") with the the code and memcg enabled (2nd to last row titled "all patches"). root_cgroup child_cgroup s_read s_write p_read p_write s_read s_write p_read p_write mmotm w/o memcg 0.428 0.390 0.429 0.388 mmotm w/ memcg 0.411 0.378 0.391 0.362 0.412 0.377 0.385 0.363 all patches 0.384 0.360 0.370 0.348 0.381 0.363 0.368 0.347 all patches 0.431 0.402 0.427 0.395 w/o memcg This patch: Add additional flags to page_cgroup to track dirty pages within a mem_cgroup.

mm: migration: use rcu_dereference_protected when dereferencing the radix tree slot during file page migration migrate_pages() -> unmap_and_move() only calls rcu_read_lock() for anonymous pages, as introduced by git commit 989f89c5 ("fix rcu_read_lock() in page migraton"). The point of the RCU protection there is part of getting a stable reference to anon_vma and is only held for anon pages as file pages are locked which is sufficient protection against freeing. However, while a file page's mapping is being migrated, the radix tree is double checked to ensure it is the expected page. This uses radix_tree_deref_slot() -> rcu_dereference() without the RCU lock held triggering the following warning.

MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE were fully effective only if run after mmap and before touching the memory. While this is enough for most usages, it's little effort to make madvise more dynamic at runtime on an existing mapping by making khugepaged aware about madvise. MADV_HUGEPAGE: register in khugepaged immediately without waiting a page fault (that may not ever happen if all pages are already mapped and the "enabled" knob was set to madvise during the initial page faults). MADV_NOHUGEPAGE: skip vmas marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE in khugepaged to stop collapsing pages where not needed.

For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires gup-fast to set the referenced bit). qemu-kvm access already sets the young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in use... We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the primary pte. Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even a single subpage in use. ->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like EPT does. Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.

An huge pmd can only be mapped if the corresponding 2M virtual range is fully contained in the vma. At times the VM calls split_vma twice, if the first split_vma succeeds and the second fail, the first split_vma remains in effect and it's not rolled back. For split_vma or vma_adjust to fail an allocation failure is needed so it's a very unlikely event (the out of memory killer would normally fire before any allocation failure is visible to kernel and userland and if an out of memory condition happens it's unlikely to happen exactly here). Nevertheless it's safer to ensure that no huge pmd can be left around if the vma is adjusted in a way that can't fit hugepages anymore at the new vm_start/vm_end address.

It's mostly a matter of replacing alloc_pages with alloc_pages_vma after introducing alloc_pages_vma. khugepaged needs special handling as the allocation has to happen inside collapse_huge_page where the vma is known and an error has to be returned to the outer loop to sleep alloc_sleep_millisecs in case of failure. But it retains the more efficient logic of handling allocation failures in khugepaged in case of CONFIG_NUMA=n.

This also has to move the memory hotplug code from _mapcount to lru.next to avoid any risk of clashes.

Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new hugepages become available. (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that will have to make new hugepages available) The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some memory can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated. So when a virtual machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want to use those freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the other virtual machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to maximize the CPU efficiency at all times. The scan is slow, it takes nearly zero cpu time, except when it copies data (in which case it means we definitely want to pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good tradeoff. In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing memory, we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of potentially defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could lead to more performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at first and having them collapsed into large pages later... if they prove themselfs to be long lived mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short lived mappings have low probability to run into khugepaged if compared to long lived mappings).

Lately I've been working to make KVM use hugepages transparently without the usual restrictions of hugetlbfs. Some of the restrictions I'd like to see removed: 1) hugepages have to be swappable or the guest physical memory remains locked in RAM and can't be paged out to swap 2) if a hugepage allocation fails, regular pages should be allocated instead and mixed in the same vma without any failure and without userland noticing 3) if some task quits and more hugepages become available in the buddy, guest physical memory backed by regular pages should be relocated on hugepages automatically in regions under madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) (ideally event driven by waking up the kernel deamon if the order=HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT list becomes not null) 4) avoidance of reservation and maximization of use of hugepages whenever possible. Reservation (needed to avoid runtime fatal faliures) may be ok for 1 machine with 1 database with 1 database cache with 1 database cache size known at boot time. It's definitely not feasible with a virtualization hypervisor usage like RHEV-H that runs an unknown number of virtual machines with an unknown size of each virtual machine with an unknown amount of pagecache that could be potentially useful in the host for guest not using O_DIRECT (aka cache=off). hugepages in the virtualization hypervisor (and also in the guest!) are much more important than in a regular host not using virtualization, becasue with NPT/EPT they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 24 to 19 in case only the hypervisor uses transparent hugepages, and they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 19 to 15 in case both the linux hypervisor and the linux guest both uses this patch (though the guest will limit the addition speedup to anonymous regions only for now...). Even more important is that the tlb miss handler is much slower on a NPT/EPT guest than for a regular shadow paging or no-virtualization scenario. So maximizing the amount of virtual memory cached by the TLB pays off significantly more with NPT/EPT than without (even if there would be no significant speedup in the tlb-miss runtime). The first (and more tedious) part of this work requires allowing the VM to handle anonymous hugepages mixed with regular pages transparently on regular anonymous vmas. This is what this patch tries to achieve in the least intrusive possible way. We want hugepages and hugetlb to be used in a way so that all applications can benefit without changes (as usual we leverage the KVM virtualization design: by improving the Linux VM at large, KVM gets the performance boost too). The most important design choice is: always fallback to 4k allocation if the hugepage allocation fails! This is the _very_ opposite of some large pagecache patches that failed with -EIO back then if a 64k (or similar) allocation failed... Second important decision (to reduce the impact of the feature on the existing pagetable handling code) is that at any time we can split an hugepage into 512 regular pages and it has to be done with an operation that can't fail. This way the reliability of the swapping isn't decreased (no need to allocate memory when we are short on memory to swap) and it's trivial to plug a split_huge_page* one-liner where needed without polluting the VM. Over time we can teach mprotect, mremap and friends to handle pmd_trans_huge natively without calling split_huge_page*. The fact it can't fail isn't just for swap: if split_huge_page would return -ENOMEM (instead of the current void) we'd need to rollback the mprotect from the middle of it (ideally including undoing the split_vma) which would be a big change and in the very wrong direction (it'd likely be simpler not to call split_huge_page at all and to teach mprotect and friends to handle hugepages instead of rolling them back from the middle). In short the very value of split_huge_page is that it can't fail. The collapsing and madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) part will remain separated and incremental and it'll just be an "harmless" addition later if this initial part is agreed upon. It also should be noted that locking-wise replacing regular pages with hugepages is going to be very easy if compared to what I'm doing below in split_huge_page, as it will only happen when page_count(page) matches page_mapcount(page) if we can take the PG_lock and mmap_sem in write mode. collapse_huge_page will be a "best effort" that (unlike split_huge_page) can fail at the minimal sign of trouble and we can try again later. collapse_huge_page will be similar to how KSM works and the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) will work similar to madvise(MADV_MERGEABLE). The default I like is that transparent hugepages are used at page fault time. This can be changed with /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled. The control knob can be set to three values "always", "madvise", "never" which mean respectively that hugepages are always used, or only inside madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) regions, or never used. /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag instead controls if the hugepage allocation should defrag memory aggressively "always", only inside "madvise" regions, or "never". The pmd_trans_splitting/pmd_trans_huge locking is very solid. The put_page (from get_user_page users that can't use mmu notifier like O_DIRECT) that runs against a __split_huge_page_refcount instead was a pain to serialize in a way that would result always in a coherent page count for both tail and head. I think my locking solution with a compound_lock taken only after the page_first is valid and is still a PageHead should be safe but it surely needs review from SMP race point of view. In short there is no current existing way to serialize the O_DIRECT final put_page against split_huge_page_refcount so I had to invent a new one (O_DIRECT loses knowledge on the mapping status by the time gup_fast returns so...). And I didn't want to impact all gup/gup_fast users for now, maybe if we change the gup interface substantially we can avoid this locking, I admit I didn't think too much about it because changing the gup unpinning interface would be invasive. If we ignored O_DIRECT we could stick to the existing compound refcounting code, by simply adding a get_user_pages_fast_flags(foll_flags) where KVM (and any other mmu notifier user) would call it without FOLL_GET (and if FOLL_GET isn't set we'd just BUG_ON if nobody registered itself in the current task mmu notifier list yet). But O_DIRECT is fundamental for decent performance of virtualized I/O on fast storage so we can't avoid it to solve the race of put_page against split_huge_page_refcount to achieve a complete hugepage feature for KVM. Swap and oom works fine (well just like with regular pages ;). MMU notifier is handled transparently too, with the exception of the young bit on the pmd, that didn't have a range check but I think KVM will be fine because the whole point of hugepages is that EPT/NPT will also use a huge pmd when they notice gup returns pages with PageCompound set, so they won't care of a range and there's just the pmd young bit to check in that case. NOTE: in some cases if the L2 cache is small, this may slowdown and waste memory during COWs because 4M of memory are accessed in a single fault instead of 8k (the payoff is that after COW the program can run faster). So we might want to switch the copy_huge_page (and clear_huge_page too) to not temporal stores. I also extensively researched ways to avoid this cache trashing with a full prefault logic that would cow in 8k/16k/32k/64k up to 1M (I can send those patches that fully implemented prefault) but I concluded they're not worth it and they add an huge additional complexity and they remove all tlb benefits until the full hugepage has been faulted in, to save a little bit of memory and some cache during app startup, but they still don't improve substantially the cache-trashing during startup if the prefault happens in >4k chunks. One reason is that those 4k pte entries copied are still mapped on a perfectly cache-colored hugepage, so the trashing is the worst one can generate in those copies (cow of 4k page copies aren't so well colored so they trashes less, but again this results in software running faster after the page fault). Those prefault patches allowed things like a pte where post-cow pages were local 4k regular anon pages and the not-yet-cowed pte entries were pointing in the middle of some hugepage mapped read-only. If it doesn't payoff substantially with todays hardware it will payoff even less in the future with larger l2 caches, and the prefault logic would blot the VM a lot. If one is emebdded transparent_hugepage can be disabled during boot with sysfs or with the boot commandline parameter transparent_hugepage=0 (or transparent_hugepage=2 to restrict hugepages inside madvise regions) that will ensure not a single hugepage is allocated at boot time. It is simple enough to just disable transparent hugepage globally and let transparent hugepages be allocated selectively by applications in the MADV_HUGEPAGE region (both at page fault time, and if enabled with the collapse_huge_page too through the kernel daemon). This patch supports only hugepages mapped in the pmd, archs that have smaller hugepages will not fit in this patch alone. Also some archs like power have certain tlb limits that prevents mixing different page size in the same regions so they will not fit in this framework that requires "graceful fallback" to basic PAGE_SIZE in case of physical memory fragmentation. hugetlbfs remains a perfect fit for those because its software limits happen to match the hardware limits. hugetlbfs also remains a perfect fit for hugepage sizes like 1GByte that cannot be hoped to be found not fragmented after a certain system uptime and that would be very expensive to defragment with relocation, so requiring reservation. hugetlbfs is the "reservation way", the point of transparent hugepages is not to have any reservation at all and maximizing the use of cache and hugepages at all times automatically.

Transparent hugepage allocations must be allowed not to invoke kswapd or any other kind of indirect reclaim (especially when the defrag sysfs is control disabled). It's unacceptable to swap out anonymous pages (potentially anonymous transparent hugepages) in order to create new transparent hugepages. This is true for the MADV_HUGEPAGE areas too (swapping out a kvm virtual machine and so having it suffer an unbearable slowdown, so another one with guest physical memory marked MADV_HUGEPAGE can run 30% faster if it is running memory intensive workloads, makes no sense). If a transparent hugepage allocation fails the slowdown is minor and there is total fallback, so kswapd should never be asked to swapout memory to allow the high order allocation to succeed.

This increase the size of the mm struct a bit but it is needed to preallocate one pte for each hugepage so that split_huge_page will not require a fail path. Guarantee of success is a fundamental property of split_huge_page to avoid decrasing swapping reliability and to avoid adding -ENOMEM fail paths that would otherwise force the hugepage-unaware VM code to learn rolling back in the middle of its pte mangling operations (if something we need it to learn handling pmd_trans_huge natively rather being capable of rollback). When split_huge_page runs a pte is needed to succeed the split, to map the newly splitted regular pages with a regular pte. This way all existing VM code remains backwards compatible by just adding a split_huge_page* one liner. The memory waste of those preallocated ptes is negligible and so it is worth it.

Simon Kirby reported the following problem We're seeing cases on a number of servers where cache never fully grows to use all available memory. Sometimes we see servers with 4 GB of memory that never seem to have less than 1.5 GB free, even with a constantly-active VM. In some cases, these servers also swap out while this happens, even though they are constantly reading the working set into memory. We have been seeing this happening for a long time; I don't think it's anything recent, and it still happens on 2.6.36. After some debugging work by Simon, Dave Hansen and others, the prevaling theory became that kswapd is reclaiming order-3 pages requested by SLUB too aggressive about it. There are two apparent problems here. On the target machine, there is a small Normal zone in comparison to DMA32. As kswapd tries to balance all zones, it would continually try reclaiming for Normal even though DMA32 was balanced enough for callers. The second problem is that sleeping_prematurely() does not use the same logic as balance_pgdat() when deciding whether to sleep or not. This keeps kswapd artifically awake. A number of tests were run and the figures from previous postings will look very different for a few reasons. One, the old figures were forcing my network card to use GFP_ATOMIC in attempt to replicate Simon's problem. Second, I previous specified slub_min_order=3 again in an attempt to reproduce Simon's problem. In this posting, I'm depending on Simon to say whether his problem is fixed or not and these figures are to show the impact to the ordinary cases. Finally, the "vmscan" figures are taken from /proc/vmstat instead of the tracepoints. There is less information but recording is less disruptive. The first test of relevance was postmark with a process running in the background reading a large amount of anonymous memory in blocks. The objective was to vaguely simulate what was happening on Simon's machine and it's memory intensive enough to have kswapd awake.

Note that kswapd scanned and reclaimed fewer pages as it's less aggressive and overall fewer pages were scanned and reclaimed. Swap in/out is particularly reduced again reflecting kswapd throwing out fewer pages. The slight performance impact is unfortunate here but it looks like a direct result of kswapd being less aggressive. As the bug report is about too many pages being freed by kswapd, it may have to be accepted for now. The second test is a streaming IO benchmark that was previously used by Johannes to show regressions in page reclaim.

Note that kswapd is hitting its watermarks faster (low and high wmark quickly) which I expect is due to kswapd reclaiming fewer pages. I also ran fs-mark, iozone and sysbench but there is nothing interesting to report in the figures. Performance is not significantly changed and the reclaim statistics look reasonable. Tgis patch: When the allocator enters its slow path, kswapd is woken up to balance the node. It continues working until all zones within the node are balanced. For order-0 allocations, this makes perfect sense but for higher orders it can have unintended side-effects. If the zone sizes are imbalanced, kswapd may reclaim heavily within a smaller zone discarding an excessive number of pages. The user-visible behaviour is that kswapd is awake and reclaiming even though plenty of pages are free from a suitable zone. This patch alters the "balance" logic for high-order reclaim allowing kswapd to stop if any suitable zone becomes balanced to reduce the number of pages it reclaims from other zones. kswapd still tries to ensure that order-0 watermarks for all zones are met before sleeping.
