__GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations are usually very expensive and not mandatory to succeed as they have graceful fallback. Waiting for I/O in those, tends to be overkill in terms of latencies, so we can reduce their latency by disabling sync migrate. Unfortunately, even with async migration it's still possible for the process to be blocked waiting for a request slot (e.g. get_request_wait in the block layer) when ->writepage is called. To prevent __GFP_NO_KSWAPD blocking, this patch prevents ->writepage being called on dirty page cache for asynchronous migration.

compaction_alloc() isolates pages for migration in isolate_migratepages. While it's scanning, IRQs are disabled on the mistaken assumption the scanning should be short. Tests show this to be true for the most part but contention times on the LRU lock can be increased. Before this patch, the IRQ disabled times for a simple test looked like Total sampled time IRQs off (not real total time): 5493 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1596 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1530 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 956 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 541 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 531 us count 1 Event split_huge_page..add_to_swap 232 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 36 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 35 us count 2 Event __wake_up..__wake_up 1 us count 1 This patch reduces the worst-case IRQs-disabled latencies by releasing the lock every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that are scanned and releasing the CPU if necessary. The cost of this is that the processing performing compaction will be slower but IRQs being disabled for too long a time has worse consequences as the following report shows; Total sampled time IRQs off (not real total time): 4367 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 881 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 875 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 868 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 555 us count 1 Event split_huge_page..add_to_swap 495 us count 1 Event compact_zone..compact_zone_order 269 us count 1 Event split_huge_page..add_to_swap 266 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 85 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 36 us count 2 Event __wake_up..__wake_up 1 us count 1 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify with s/unlocked/locked/] Signed-off-by: NAndrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net> Cc: Clemens Ladisch <cladisch@googlemail.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

compaction_alloc() isolates free pages to be used as migration targets. While its scanning, IRQs are disabled on the mistaken assumption the scanning should be short. Analysis showed that IRQs were in fact being disabled for substantial time. A simple test was run using large anonymous mappings with transparent hugepage support enabled to trigger frequent compactions. A monitor sampled what the worst IRQ-off latencies were and a post-processing tool found the following; Total sampled time IRQs off (not real total time): 22355 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 8409 us count 1 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 7341 us count 1 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 2463 us count 1 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 2054 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1864 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 88 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 36 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 35 us count 2 Event __make_request..__blk_run_queue 24 us count 1 Event __alloc_pages_nodemask..__alloc_pages_nodemask 6 us count 1 i.e. compaction is disabled IRQs for a prolonged period of time - 8ms in one instance. The full report generated by the tool can be found at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/minfree-20110225/irqsoff-vanilla-micro.report This patch reduces the time IRQs are disabled by simply disabling IRQs at the last possible minute. An updated IRQs-off summary report then looks like; Total sampled time IRQs off (not real total time): 5493 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1596 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1530 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 956 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 541 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 531 us count 1 Event split_huge_page..add_to_swap 232 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 36 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 35 us count 2 Event __wake_up..__wake_up 1 us count 1 A full report is again available at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/minfree-20110225/irqsoff-minimiseirq-free-v1r4-micro.report As should be obvious, IRQ disabled latencies due to compaction are almost elimimnated for this particular test.

Callers of find_get_pages(), or its wrapper pagevec_lookup() - notably truncate_inode_pages_range() - stop looking further when it returns 0. But if an interrupt comes just after its radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot(), especially if we have preemptible RCU enabled, isn't it conceivable that all 14 pages returned could be removed from the page cache by shrink_page_list(), before find_get_pages() gets to process them? So causing it to return 0 although there may be plenty more pages beyond. Make find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_tag() check for this unlikely case, and restart should it occur; but callers of find_get_pages_contig() have no such expectation, it's okay for that to return 0 early. I have not seen this in practice, just worried by the possibility.

The radix_tree_deref_retry() case in find_get_pages() has a strange little excrescence, not seen in the other gang lookups: it looks like the start of an abandoned attempt to guarantee forward progress in a case that cannot arise. ret should always be 0 here: if it isn't, then going back to restart will leak references to pages already gotten. There used to be a comment saying nr_found is necessarily 1 here: that's not quite true, but the radix_tree_deref_retry() case is peculiar to the entry at index 0, when we race with it being moved out of the radix_tree root or back. Remove the worrisome two lines, add a brief comment here and in find_get_pages_contig() and find_get_pages_tag(), and a WARN_ON in find_get_pages() should it ever be seen elsewhere than at 0.

When reclaiming for order-0 pages, kswapd requires that all zones be balanced. Each cycle through balance_pgdat() does background ageing on all zones if necessary and applies equal pressure on the inactive zone unless a lot of pages are free already. A "lot of free pages" is defined as a "balance gap" above the high watermark which is currently 7*high_watermark. Historically this was reasonable as min_free_kbytes was small. However, on systems using huge pages, it is recommended that min_free_kbytes is higher and it is tuned with hugeadm --set-recommended-min_free_kbytes. With the introduction of transparent huge page support, this recommended value is also applied. On X86-64 with 4G of memory, min_free_kbytes becomes 67584 so one would expect around 68M of memory to be free. The Normal zone is approximately 35000 pages so under even normal memory pressure such as copying a large file, it gets exhausted quickly. As it is getting exhausted, kswapd applies pressure equally to all zones, including the DMA32 zone. DMA32 is approximately 700,000 pages with a high watermark of around 23,000 pages. In this situation, kswapd will reclaim around (23000*8 where 8 is the high watermark + balance gap of 7 * high watermark) pages or 718M of pages before the zone is ignored. What the user sees is that free memory far higher than it should be. To avoid an excessive number of pages being reclaimed from the larger zones, explicitely defines the "balance gap" to be either 1% of the zone or the low watermark for the zone, whichever is smaller. While kswapd will check all zones to apply pressure, it'll ignore zones that meets the (high_wmark + balance_gap) watermark. To test this, 80G were copied from a partition and the amount of memory being used was recorded. A comparison of a patch and unpatched kernel can be seen at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/minfree-20110222/memory-usage-hydra.ps and shows that kswapd is not reclaiming as much memory with the patch applied.

Right now, if a mm_walk has either ->pte_entry or ->pmd_entry set, it will unconditionally split any transparent huge pages it runs in to. In practice, that means that anyone doing a cat /proc/$pid/smaps will unconditionally break down every huge page in the process and depend on khugepaged to re-collapse it later. This is fairly suboptimal. This patch changes that behavior. It teaches each ->pmd_entry handler (there are five) that they must break down the THPs themselves. Also, the _generic_ code will never break down a THP unless a ->pte_entry handler is actually set. This means that the ->pmd_entry handlers can now choose to deal with THPs without breaking them down.

invalidate_mapping_pages is very big hint to reclaimer. It means user doesn't want to use the page any more. So in order to prevent working set page eviction, this patch move the page into tail of inactive list by PG_reclaim. Please, remember that pages in inactive list are working set as well as active list. If we don't move pages into inactive list's tail, pages near by tail of inactive list can be evicted although we have a big clue about useless pages. It's totally bad. Now PG_readahead/PG_reclaim is shared. fe3cba17 added ClearPageReclaim into clear_page_dirty_for_io for preventing fast reclaiming readahead marker page. In this series, PG_reclaim is used by invalidated page, too. If VM find the page is invalidated and it's dirty, it sets PG_reclaim to reclaim asap. Then, when the dirty page will be writeback, clear_page_dirty_for_io will clear PG_reclaim unconditionally. It disturbs this serie's goal. I think it's okay to clear PG_readahead when the page is dirty, not writeback time. So this patch moves ClearPageReadahead. In v4, ClearPageReadahead in set_page_dirty has a problem which is reported by Steven Barrett. It's due to compound page. Some driver(ex, audio) calls set_page_dirty with compound page which isn't on LRU. but my patch does ClearPageRelcaim on compound page. In non-CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, it breaks PageTail flag. I think it doesn't affect THP and pass my test with THP enabling but Cced Andrea for double check.

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.

Presently we increase the page refcount in add_to_page_cache() but don't decrease it in remove_from_page_cache(). Such asymmetry adds confusion, requiring that callers notice it and a comment explaining why they release a page reference. It's not a good API. A long time ago, Hugh tried it (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/24/140) but gave up because reiser4's drop_page() had to unlock the page between removing it from page cache and doing the page_cache_release(). But now the situation is changed. I think at least things in current mainline don't have any obstacles. The problem is for out-of-mainline filesystems - if they have done such things as reiser4, this patch could be a problem but they will discover this at compile time since we remove remove_from_page_cache(). This patch: This function works as just wrapper remove_from_page_cache(). The difference is that it decreases page references in itself. So caller have to make sure it has a page reference before calling. This patch is ready for removing remove_from_page_cache().

This function basically does: remove_from_page_cache(old); page_cache_release(old); add_to_page_cache_locked(new); Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to fail because of a race. If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved from the old page to the new. This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache on read, instead of copying the page contents.

GUP user may want to try to acquire a reference to a page if it is already in memory, but not if IO, to bring it in, is needed. For example KVM may tell vcpu to schedule another guest process if current one is trying to access swapped out page. Meanwhile, the page will be swapped in and the guest process, that depends on it, will be able to run again. This patch adds FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT (suggested by Linus) and FOLL_NOWAIT follow_page flags. FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT, when used in conjunction with VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY, indicates to handle_mm_fault that it shouldn't drop mmap_sem and wait on a page, but return VM_FAULT_RETRY instead.

Displaying extremely verbose meminfo for all nodes on the system is overkill for page allocation failures when the context restricts that allocation to only a subset of nodes. We don't particularly care about the state of all nodes when some are not allowed in the current context, they can have an abundance of memory but we can't allocate from that part of memory. This patch suppresses disallowed nodes from the meminfo dump on a page allocation failure if the context requires it.

When a page allocation failure occurs, show_mem() is called to dump the state of the VM so users may understand what happened to get into that condition. This output, however, can be extremely verbose. In irq context, it may result in significant delays that incur NMI watchdog timeouts when the machine is large (we use CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 here to define a "large" machine since the length of the show_mem() output is proportional to the number of possible nodes). This patch suppresses the show_mem() call in irq context when the kernel has CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8.

The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8. This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it. This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface. Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus) lines from the oom killer output. Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed nodes.
