      mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration · efaffc5e
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.

Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.

Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.

However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.

      mm, page_alloc: double zone's batchsize · d8a759b5
      由 Aaron Lu 提交于 
      To improve page allocator's performance for order-0 pages, each CPU has
a Per-CPU-Pageset(PCP) per zone.  Whenever an order-0 page is needed,
PCP will be checked first before asking pages from Buddy.  When PCP is
used up, a batch of pages will be fetched from Buddy to improve
performance and the size of batch can affect performance.

zone's batch size gets doubled last time by commit ba56e91c("mm:
page_alloc: increase size of per-cpu-pages") over ten years ago.  Since
then, CPU has envolved a lot and CPU's cache sizes also increased.

Dave Hansen is concerned the current batch size doesn't fit well with
modern hardware and suggested me to do two things: first, use a page
allocator intensive benchmark, e.g.  will-it-scale/page_fault1 to find
out how performance changes with different batch sizes on various
machines and then choose a new default batch size; second, see how this
new batch size work with other workloads.

In the first test, we saw performance gains on high-core-count systems
and little to no effect on older systems with more modest core counts.
In this phase's test data, two candidates: 63 and 127 are chosen.

In the second step, ebizzy, oltp, kbuild, pigz, netperf, vm-scalability
and more will-it-scale sub-tests are tested to see how these two
candidates work with these workloads and decides a new default according
to their results.

Most test results are flat.  will-it-scale/page_fault2 process mode has
10%-18% performance increase on 4-sockets Skylake and Broadwell.
vm-scalability/lru-file-mmap-read has 17%-47% performance increase for
4-sockets servers while for 2-sockets servers, it caused 3%-8% performance
drop.  Further analysis showed that, with a larger pcp->batch and thus
larger pcp->high(the relationship of pcp->high=6 * pcp->batch is
maintained in this patch), zone lock contention shifted to LRU add side
lock contention and that caused performance drop.  This performance drop
might be mitigated by others' work on optimizing LRU lock.

Another downside of increasing pcp->batch is, when PCP is used up and need
to fetch a batch of pages from Buddy, since batch is increased, that time
can be longer than before.  My understanding is, this doesn't affect
slowpath where direct reclaim and compaction dominates.  For fastpath,
throughput is a win(according to will-it-scale/page_fault1) but worst
latency can be larger now.

Overall, I think double the batch size from 31 to 63 is relatively safe
and provide good performance boost for high-core-count systems.

The two phase's test results are listed below(all tests are done with THP
disabled).

Phase one(will-it-scale/page_fault1) test results:

Skylake-EX: increased batch size has a good effect on zone->lock
contention, though LRU contention will rise at the same time and
limited the final performance increase.

Skylake-EP: although increased batch reduced zone->lock contention, but
the effect is not as good as EX: zone->lock contention is still as high as
20% with a very high batch value instead of 1% on Skylake-EX or 5% on
Broadwell-EX.  Also, total_contention actually decreased with a higher
batch but that doesn't translate to performance increase.

Sandybridge-Desktop: the 0% contention isn't accurate but caused by
dropped fractional part. Since multiple contention path's contentions
are all under 1% here, with some arithmetic operations like add, the
final deviation could be as large as 3%.

      mm, page_alloc: actually ignore mempolicies for high priority allocations · d6a24df0
      由 Vlastimil Babka 提交于 
      __alloc_pages_slowpath() has for a long time contained code to ignore
node restrictions from memory policies for high priority allocations.
The current code that resets the zonelist iterator however does
effectively nothing after commit 7810e678 ("mm, page_alloc: do not
break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset") removed a buggy zonelist reset.
Even before that commit, mempolicy restrictions were still not ignored,
as they are passed in ac->nodemask which is untouched by the code.

We can either remove the code, or make it work as intended.  Since
ac->nodemask can be set from task's mempolicy via alloc_pages_current()
and thus also alloc_pages(), it may indeed affect kernel allocations,
and it makes sense to ignore it to allow progress for high priority
allocations.

Thus, this patch resets ac->nodemask to NULL in such cases.  This
assumes all callers can handle it (i.e.  there are no guarantees as in
the case of __GFP_THISNODE) which seems to be the case.  The same
assumption is already present in check_retry_cpuset() for some time.

The expected effect is that high priority kernel allocations in the
context of userspace tasks (e.g.  OOM victims) restricted by mempolicies
will have higher chance to succeed if they are restricted to nodes with
depleted memory, while there are other nodes with free memory left.

It's not a new intention, but for the first time the code will match the
intention, AFAICS.  It was intended by commit 183f6371 ("mm: ignore
mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") in v3.6 but I think it never
really worked, as mempolicy restriction was already encoded in nodemask,
not zonelist, at that time.

So originally that was for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK only.  Then it was
adjusted by e46e7b77 ("mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred
zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies") and cd04ae1e
("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access") to the
current state.  So even GFP_ATOMIC would now ignore mempolicies after
the initial attempts fail - if the code worked as people thought it
does.

      mm: skip invalid pages block at a time in zero_resv_unresv() · 720e14eb
      由 Pavel Tatashin 提交于 
      The role of zero_resv_unavail() is to make sure that every struct page
that is allocated but is not backed by memory that is accessible by
kernel is zeroed and not in some uninitialized state.

Since struct pages are allocated in blocks (2M pages in x86 case), we
can skip pageblock_nr_pages at a time, when the first one is found to be
invalid.

This optimization may help since now on x86 every hole in e820 maps is
marked as reserved in memblock, and thus will go through this function.

This function is called before sched_clock() is initialized, so I used
my x86 early boot clock patches to measure the performance improvement.

With 1T hole on i7-8700 currently we would take 0.606918s of boot time,
but with this optimization 0.001103s.

      At present, "systemctl suspend" and "shutdown" can run in parrallel. A
system can suspend after devices_shutdown(), and resume. Then the shutdown
task goes on to power off. This causes many devices are not really shut
off. Hence replacing reboot_mutex with system_transition_mutex (renamed
from pm_mutex) to achieve the exclusion. The renaming of pm_mutex as
system_transition_mutex can be better to reflect the purpose of the mutex.

      mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area() · 0d834328
      由 Dave Hansen 提交于 
      free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses
should be freed.  However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way.  If it
gets a kernel direct map address, it always works.  However, if it gets an
address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail.

It fails if all of the following happen:
 * The specified address is part of the kernel image alias
 * Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset())
 * The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image

The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course.
free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image
alias addresses.  We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image
alias areas it gets used on are read-write.  I'm fairly sure this has been
just a happy accident.

It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just
convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and
do this unconditionally.  There is little chance of a regression here
because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset,
so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

      mm: zero unavailable pages before memmap init · e181ae0c
      由 Pavel Tatashin 提交于 
      We must zero struct pages for memory that is not backed by physical
memory, or kernel does not have access to.

Recently, there was a change which zeroed all memmap for all holes in
e820.  Unfortunately, it introduced a bug that is discussed here:

  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg156764.html

Linus, also saw this bug on his machine, and confirmed that reverting
commit 124049de ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
memblock.reserved") fixes the issue.

The problem is that we incorrectly zero some struct pages after they
were setup.

The fix is to zero unavailable struct pages prior to initializing of
struct pages.

A more detailed fix should come later that would avoid double zeroing
cases: one in __init_single_page(), the other one in
zero_resv_unavail().

Note how only Node 0 has a hutplugable memory region which would rule it
out from the early memblock allocations (most likely memmap).  Node1
will surely contain memmaps on the same node and those would prevent
offlining to succeed.  So this is arguably a configuration issue.
Although one could argue that we should be more clever and rule early
allocations from the zone movable.  This would be correct but probably
not worth the effort considering what a hack movablecore is.

Anyway, We could do better for those cases though.  We rely on
start_isolate_page_range resp.  has_unmovable_pages to do their job.
The first one isolates the whole range to be offlined so that we do not
allocate from it anymore and the later makes sure we are not stumbling
over non-migrateable pages.

has_unmovable_pages is overly optimistic, however.  It doesn't check all
the pages if we are withing zone_movable because we rely that those
pages will be always migrateable.  As it turns out we are still not
perfect there.  While bootmem pages in zonemovable sound like a clear
bug which should be fixed let's remove the optimization for now and warn
if we encounter unmovable pages in zone_movable in the meantime.  That
should help for now at least.

Btw.  this wasn't a real problem until commit 72b39cfc ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early") because we used to
have a small number of retries and then failed.  This turned out to be
too fragile though.

The reason for this error is that the span of MOVABLE_ZONE is extended

another problem happened.

It's so late time to fix the later problem so I decide to reverting the

      xen, mm: allow deferred page initialization for xen pv domains · 6f84f8d1
      由 Pavel Tatashin 提交于 
      Juergen Gross noticed that commit f7f99100 ("mm: stop zeroing memory
during allocation in vmemmap") broke XEN PV domains when deferred struct
page initialization is enabled.

This is because the xen's PagePinned() flag is getting erased from
struct pages when they are initialized later in boot.

Juergen fixed this problem by disabling deferred pages on xen pv
domains.  It is desirable, however, to have this feature available as it
reduces boot time.  This fix re-enables the feature for pv-dmains, and
fixes the problem the following way:

The fix is to delay setting PagePinned flag until struct pages for all
allocated memory are initialized, i.e.  until after free_all_bootmem().

A new x86_init.hyper op init_after_bootmem() is called to let xen know
that boot allocator is done, and hence struct pages for all the
allocated memory are now initialized.  If deferred page initialization
is enabled, the rest of struct pages are going to be initialized later
in boot once page_alloc_init_late() is called.

xen_after_bootmem() walks page table's pages and marks them pinned.

      Now, all reserved pages for CMA region are belong to the ZONE_MOVABLE
and it only serves for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE.

Therefore, we don't need to maintain ALLOC_CMA at all.

      mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE · bad8c6c0
      由 Joonsoo Kim 提交于 
      Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the
ZONE_MOVABLE", v2.

0. History

This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce
ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1].  Please reference it if more information is needed.

1. What does this patch do?

This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem.  Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the zone where their pfn is belong to.  However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA
area by using the MOVABLE zone.  In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the
CMA area are the same.  So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using
the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.

2. Motivation

There are some problems with current approach.  See following.  Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach.  Anyway,
following is the problems of the current implementation.

o CMA memory utilization

First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.

 - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
 - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage

Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted.  At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so

 - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
 - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0

If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started.  After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.

FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.

Useless reclaim:

There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path.  Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.

Atomic allocation failure:

This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area.  Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come.  Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage
calculation logic.

- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage

If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.

- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0

It was reported by Aneesh [3].

Useless compaction:

Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area.  In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there.  As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.

3. Current approach and new approach

Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to.  However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation.  So, they are
marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially.  However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to
deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.

New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
MOVABLE zone.  MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone.  So, managing the memory of the CMA
area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be
migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.

There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA
area.  The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with
GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also
only allowed for this gfp flag.  Before this patchset, a request with
GFP_MOVABLE can use them.  IMO, It would not be a big issue since most
of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag.  For example, file
cache page and anonymous page.  However, file cache page for blockdev
file is an exception.  Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag.  There is
pros and cons on this exception.  In my experience, blockdev file cache
pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail
temporarily.  So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by
discarding this case.

Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem.  Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be
printed in the MOVABLE zone.  That's all.

      mm/page_alloc: don't reserve ZONE_HIGHMEM for ZONE_MOVABLE request · d3cda233
      由 Joonsoo Kim 提交于 
      Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that
important to reserve.  When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would
theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page
allocation.  So, fix it by setting 0 to
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM].

And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size
makes code complex.  For example, if there is highmem system, following
reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily
misleading people.

 #ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
 32
 #endif

This patch also fixes this situation by defining
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to
right place.
