      mm/page_alloc: introduce post allocation processing on page allocator · 46f24fd8
      由 Joonsoo Kim 提交于 
      This patch is motivated from Hugh and Vlastimil's concern [1].

There are two ways to get freepage from the allocator.  One is using
normal memory allocation API and the other is __isolate_free_page()
which is internally used for compaction and pageblock isolation.  Later
usage is rather tricky since it doesn't do whole post allocation
processing done by normal API.

One problematic thing I already know is that poisoned page would not be
checked if it is allocated by __isolate_free_page().  Perhaps, there
would be more.

We could add more debug logic for allocated page in the future and this
separation would cause more problem.  I'd like to fix this situation at
this time.  Solution is simple.  This patch commonize some logic for
newly allocated page and uses it on all sites.  This will solve the
problem.

      mm/page_owner: initialize page owner without holding the zone lock · 83358ece
      由 Joonsoo Kim 提交于 
      It's not necessary to initialized page_owner with holding the zone lock.
It would cause more contention on the zone lock although it's not a big
problem since it is just debug feature.  But, it is better than before
so do it.  This is also preparation step to use stackdepot in page owner
feature.  Stackdepot allocates new pages when there is no reserved space
and holding the zone lock in this case will cause deadlock.

      zsmalloc: introduce zspage structure · 3783689a
      由 Minchan Kim 提交于 
      We have squeezed meta data of zspage into first page's descriptor.  So,
to get meta data from subpage, we should get first page first of all.
But it makes trouble to implment page migration feature of zsmalloc
because any place where to get first page from subpage can be raced with
first page migration.  IOW, first page it got could be stale.  For
preventing it, I have tried several approahces but it made code
complicated so finally, I concluded to separate metadata from first
page.  Of course, it consumes more memory.  IOW, 16bytes per zspage on
32bit at the moment.  It means we lost 1% at *worst case*(40B/4096B)
which is not bad I think at the cost of maintenance.

      由 Minchan Kim 提交于 
      Now, VM has a feature to migrate non-lru movable pages so balloon
doesn't need custom migration hooks in migrate.c and compaction.c.

Instead, this patch implements the page->mapping->a_ops->
{isolate|migrate|putback} functions.

With that, we could remove hooks for ballooning in general migration
functions and make balloon compaction simple.

      mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration · bda807d4
      由 Minchan Kim 提交于 
      We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
to make high-order pages.  But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,.  enhance
compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
their solutions are void in the long run.

So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
movable.  For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.

If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
functions which are function pointers of struct
address_space_operations.

1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);

What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
if driver isolates page successfully.  On returing true, VM marks the
page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
page for isolation.  If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
return *false*.

Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.

2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
		struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);

After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page.  The
function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
and set up fields of struct page newpage.  Keep in mind that you should
indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
__ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
successfully and returns 0.  If driver cannot migrate the page at the
moment, driver can return -EAGAIN.  On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
migration failure".  On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
up the page migration without retrying in this time.

Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.

3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);

If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
page.  In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
own data structure.

4. non-lru movable page flags

There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.

* PG_movable

Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
page_lock.

	void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)

It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
functions which will be called by VM.  Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
not a real flag of struct page.  Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
lower bits to represent it.

	#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
	page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;

so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly.  Instead, driver
should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
so it can get right struct address_space.

For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page.  As
well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
__ClearPageMovable).  But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated.  Because LRU
pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping.  It is also
good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.

For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page.  The lock_page prevents
sudden destroying of page->mapping.

Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
__ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.

* PG_isolated

To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
page as PG_isolated under lock_page.  So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
non-lru movable page, it can skip it.  Driver doesn't need to manipulate
the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically.  Keep in mind that
if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field.  PG_isolated is alias with
PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

      mm, compaction: abort free scanner if split fails · a4f04f2c
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      If the memory compaction free scanner cannot successfully split a free
page (only possible due to per-zone low watermark), terminate the free
scanner rather than continuing to scan memory needlessly.  If the
watermark is insufficient for a free page of order <= cc->order, then
terminate the scanner since all future splits will also likely fail.

This prevents the compaction freeing scanner from scanning all memory on
very large zones (very noticeable for zones > 128GB, for instance) when
all splits will likely fail while holding zone->lock.

compaction_alloc() iterating a 128GB zone has been benchmarked to take
over 400ms on some systems whereas any free page isolated and ready to
be split ends up failing in split_free_page() because of the low
watermark check and thus the iteration continues.

The next time compaction occurs, the freeing scanner will likely start
at the end of the zone again since no success was made previously and we
get the same lengthy iteration until the zone is brought above the low
watermark.  All thp page faults can take >400ms in such a state without
this fix.

    • M
      mm, oom, compaction: prevent from should_compact_retry looping for ever for costly orders · 86a294a8
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      "mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" has
removed the upper bound for the reclaim/compaction retries based on the
number of reclaimed pages for costly orders.  While this is desirable
the patch did miss a mis interaction between reclaim, compaction and the
retry logic.  The direct reclaim tries to get zones over min watermark
while compaction backs off and returns COMPACT_SKIPPED when all zones
are below low watermark + 1<<order gap.  If we are getting really close
to OOM then __compaction_suitable can keep returning COMPACT_SKIPPED a
high order request (e.g.  hugetlb order-9) while the reclaim is not able
to release enough pages to get us over low watermark.  The reclaim is
still able to make some progress (usually trashing over few remaining
pages) so we are not able to break out from the loop.

I have seen this happening with the same test described in "mm: consider
compaction feedback also for costly allocation" on a swapless system.
The original problem got resolved by "vmscan: consider classzone_idx in
compaction_ready" but it shows how things might go wrong when we
approach the oom event horizont.

The reason why compaction requires being over low rather than min
watermark is not clear to me.  This check was there essentially since
56de7263 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails").  It is clearly an implementation detail though and
we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be
able to cope with such eventuality.  The only place in
should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for
compaction_withdrawn() case.

Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given
zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would
would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed.  In
this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES
plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark
check.  The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation
order.  The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining
memory for a single allocation request just unblock
__compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further
progress.

The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was
provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further
progress.  !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g.  order-2
pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while
order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

      mm, compaction: distinguish between full and partial COMPACT_COMPLETE · c8f7de0b
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met.  This
is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this
feedback and make any decisions based on that.  The current caller might
be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and
that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted.  Make sure we
distinguish the full and partial zone walks.

Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success
and be optimistic in retrying.

The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably
reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE
with the new semantic.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when
the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped
in 99% of cases due to watermark checks.  This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED
basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism.

Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their
ordering in the enum.  This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be
returned only when all eligible zones are skipped.

As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath
will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim.

      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      alloc_flags is a bitmask of flags but it is signed which does not
necessarily generate the best code depending on the compiler.  Even
without an impact, it makes more sense that this be unsigned.

    • V
      mm, compaction: skip blocks where isolation fails in async direct compaction · fdd048e1
      由 Vlastimil Babka 提交于 
      The goal of direct compaction is to quickly make a high-order page
available for the pending allocation.  Within an aligned block of pages
of desired order, a single allocated page that cannot be isolated for
migration means that the block cannot fully merge to a buddy page that
would satisfy the allocation request.  Therefore we can reduce the
allocation stall by skipping the rest of the block immediately on
isolation failure.  For async compaction, this also means a higher
chance of succeeding until it detects contention.

We however shouldn't completely sacrifice the second objective of
compaction, which is to reduce overal long-term memory fragmentation.
As a compromise, perform the eager skipping only in direct async
compaction, while sync compaction (including kcompactd) remains
thorough.

Testing was done using stress-highalloc from mmtests, configured for
order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations:

                                 4.6-rc1               4.6-rc1
                                  before                 after
  Success 1 Min         24.00 (  0.00%)       27.00 (-12.50%)
  Success 1 Mean        30.20 (  0.00%)       31.60 ( -4.64%)
  Success 1 Max         37.00 (  0.00%)       35.00 (  5.41%)
  Success 2 Min         42.00 (  0.00%)       32.00 ( 23.81%)
  Success 2 Mean        44.00 (  0.00%)       44.80 ( -1.82%)
  Success 2 Max         48.00 (  0.00%)       52.00 ( -8.33%)
  Success 3 Min         91.00 (  0.00%)       92.00 ( -1.10%)
  Success 3 Mean        92.20 (  0.00%)       92.80 ( -0.65%)
  Success 3 Max         94.00 (  0.00%)       93.00 (  1.06%)

We can see that success rates are unaffected by the skipping.

                4.6-rc1     4.6-rc1

Times are not so useful metric for this benchmark as main portion is the
interfering kernel builds, but results do hint at reduced system times.

  Direct pages reclaimed              163354      159505

Reduced direct reclaim was unintended, but could be explained by more
successful first attempt at (async) direct compaction, which is
attempted before the first reclaim attempt in __alloc_pages_slowpath().

  Compaction stalls                    33052       39853

  Compaction failures                  20931       20079

Compaction is indeed more successful, and thus less likely to get
deferred, so there are also more direct compaction stalls.

The patch reduces migration scanned pages by 25% thanks to the eager

    • V
      mm, compaction: reduce spurious pcplist drains · a34753d2
      由 Vlastimil Babka 提交于 
      Compaction drains the local pcplists each time migration scanner moves
away from a cc->order aligned block where it isolated pages for
migration, so that the pages freed by migrations can merge into higher
orders.

The detection is currently coarser than it could be.  The
cc->last_migrated_pfn variable should track the lowest pfn that was
isolated for migration.  But it is set to the pfn where
isolate_migratepages_block() starts scanning, which is typically the
first pfn of the pageblock.  There, the scanner might fail to isolate
several order-aligned blocks, and then isolate COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX in
another block.  This would cause the pcplists drain to be performed,
although the scanner didn't yet finish the block where it isolated from.

This patch thus makes cc->last_migrated_pfn handling more accurate by
setting it to the pfn of an actually isolated page in
isolate_migratepages_block().  Although practical effects of this patch
are likely low, it arguably makes the intent of the code more obvious.
Also the next patch will make async direct compaction skip blocks more
aggressively, and draining pcplists due to skipped blocks is wasteful.

      由 Vlastimil Babka 提交于 
      Compaction code has accumulated numerous instances of manual
calculations of the first (inclusive) and last (exclusive) pfn of a
pageblock (or a smaller block of given order), given a pfn within the
pageblock.

Wrap these calculations by introducing pageblock_start_pfn(pfn) and
pageblock_end_pfn(pfn) macros.

      mm, cma: prevent nr_isolated_* counters from going negative · 14af4a5e
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh warns nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file go
increasingly negative under compaction: which would add delay when
should be none, or no delay when should delay.  The bug in compaction
was due to a recent mmotm patch, but much older instance of the bug was
also noticed in isolate_migratepages_range() which is used for CMA and
gigantic hugepage allocations.

The bug is caused by putback_movable_pages() in an error path
decrementing the isolated counters without them being previously
incremented by acct_isolated().  Fix isolate_migratepages_range() by
removing the error-path putback, thus reaching acct_isolated() with
migratepages still isolated, and leaving putback to caller like most
other places do.

Fixes: edc2ca61 ("mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range()")
