Currently, the amount of RAM that functions nr_free_*_pages return is held in unsigned int. But in machines with big memory (exceeding 16TB), the amount may be incorrect because of overflow, so fix it.

memcg_stock are currently initialized during the root cgroup allocation which is OK but it pointlessly pollutes memcg allocation code with something that can be called when the memcg subsystem is initialized by mem_cgroup_init along with other controller specific parts.

Per-node-zone soft limit tree is currently initialized when the root cgroup is created which is OK but it pointlessly pollutes memcg allocation code with something that can be called when the memcg subsystem is initialized by mem_cgroup_init along with other controller specific parts. While we are at it let's make mem_cgroup_soft_limit_tree_init void because it doesn't make much sense to report memory failure because if we fail to allocate memory that early during the boot then we are screwed anyway (this saves some code).

Recently, Luigi reported there are lots of free swap space when OOM happens. It's easily reproduced on zram-over-swap, where many instance of memory hogs are running and laptop_mode is enabled. He said there was no problem when he disabled laptop_mode. The problem when I investigate problem is following as. Assumption for easy explanation: There are no page cache page in system because they all are already reclaimed. 1. try_to_free_pages disable may_writepage when laptop_mode is enabled. 2. shrink_inactive_list isolates victim pages from inactive anon lru list. 3. shrink_page_list adds them to swapcache via add_to_swap but it doesn't pageout because sc->may_writepage is 0 so the page is rotated back into inactive anon lru list. The add_to_swap made the page Dirty by SetPageDirty. 4. 3 couldn't reclaim any pages so do_try_to_free_pages increase priority and retry reclaim with higher priority. 5. shrink_inactlive_list try to isolate victim pages from inactive anon lru list but got failed because it try to isolate pages with ISOLATE_CLEAN mode but inactive anon lru list is full of dirty pages by 3 so it just returns without any reclaim progress. 6. do_try_to_free_pages doesn't set may_writepage due to zero total_scanned. Because sc->nr_scanned is increased by shrink_page_list but we don't call shrink_page_list in 5 due to short of isolated pages. Above loop is continued until OOM happens. The problem didn't happen before [1] was merged because old logic's isolatation in shrink_inactive_list was successful and tried to call shrink_page_list to pageout them but it still ends up failed to page out by may_writepage. But important point is that sc->nr_scanned was increased although we couldn't swap out them so do_try_to_free_pages could set may_writepages. Since commit f80c0673 ("mm: zone_reclaim: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware") was introduced, it's not a good idea any more to depends on only the number of scanned pages for setting may_writepage. So this patch adds new trigger point of setting may_writepage as below DEF_PRIOIRTY - 2 which is used to show the significant memory pressure in VM so it's good fit for our purpose which would be better to lose power saving or clickety rather than OOM killing.

The fact that mlock calls get_user_pages, and get_user_pages might call mlock when expanding a stack looks like a potential recursion. However, mlock makes sure the requested range is already contained within a vma, so no stack expansion will actually happen from mlock. Should this ever change: the stack expansion mlocks only the newly expanded range and so will not result in recursive expansion.

An inactive file list is considered low when its active counterpart is bigger, regardless of whether it is a global zone LRU list or a memcg zone LRU list.

Complaints are rare, but lockdep still does not understand the way ksm_memory_callback(MEM_GOING_OFFLINE) takes ksm_thread_mutex, and holds it until the ksm_memory_callback(MEM_OFFLINE): that appears to be a problem because notifier callbacks are made under down_read of blocking_notifier_head->rwsem (so first the mutex is taken while holding the rwsem, then later the rwsem is taken while still holding the mutex); but is not in fact a problem because mem_hotplug_mutex is held throughout the dance. There was an attempt to fix this with mutex_lock_nested(); but if that happened to fool lockdep two years ago, apparently it does so no longer. I had hoped to eradicate this issue in extending KSM page migration not to need the ksm_thread_mutex. But then realized that although the page migration itself is safe, we do still need to lock out ksmd and other users of get_ksm_page() while offlining memory - at some point between MEM_GOING_OFFLINE and MEM_OFFLINE, the struct pages themselves may vanish, and get_ksm_page()'s accesses to them become a violation. So, give up on holding ksm_thread_mutex itself from MEM_GOING_OFFLINE to MEM_OFFLINE, and add a KSM_RUN_OFFLINE flag, and wait_while_offlining() checks, to achieve the same lockout without being caught by lockdep. This is less elegant for KSM, but it's more important to keep lockdep useful to other users - and I apologize for how long it took to fix.

Migration of KSM pages is now safe: remove the PageKsm restrictions from mempolicy.c and migrate.c. But keep PageKsm out of __unmap_and_move()'s anon_vma contortions, which are irrelevant to KSM: it looks as if that code was preventing hotremove migration of KSM pages, unless they happened to be in swapcache. There is some question as to whether enforcing a NUMA mempolicy migration ought to migrate KSM pages, mapped into entirely unrelated processes; but moving page_mapcount > 1 is only permitted with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL anyway, and it seems reasonable to assume that you wouldn't set MADV_MERGEABLE on any area where this is a worry.

The new KSM NUMA merge_across_nodes knob introduces a problem, when it's set to non-default 0: if a KSM page is migrated to a different NUMA node, how do we migrate its stable node to the right tree? And what if that collides with an existing stable node? ksm_migrate_page() can do no more than it's already doing, updating stable_node->kpfn: the stable tree itself cannot be manipulated without holding ksm_thread_mutex. So accept that a stable tree may temporarily indicate a page belonging to the wrong NUMA node, leave updating until the next pass of ksmd, just be careful not to merge other pages on to a misplaced page. Note nid of holding tree in stable_node, and recognize that it will not always match nid of kpfn. A misplaced KSM page is discovered, either when ksm_do_scan() next comes around to one of its rmap_items (we now have to go to cmp_and_merge_page even on pages in a stable tree), or when stable_tree_search() arrives at a matching node for another page, and this node page is found misplaced. In each case, move the misplaced stable_node to a list of migrate_nodes (and use the address of migrate_nodes as magic by which to identify them): we don't need them in a tree. If stable_tree_search() finds no match for a page, but it's currently exiled to this list, then slot its stable_node right there into the tree, bringing all of its mappings with it; otherwise they get migrated one by one to the original page of the colliding node. stable_tree_search() is now modelled more like stable_tree_insert(), in order to handle these insertions of migrated nodes. remove_node_from_stable_tree(), remove_all_stable_nodes() and ksm_check_stable_tree() have to handle the migrate_nodes list as well as the stable tree itself. Less obviously, we do need to prune the list of stale entries from time to time (scan_get_next_rmap_item() does it once each full scan): whereas stale nodes in the stable tree get naturally pruned as searches try to brush past them, these migrate_nodes may get forgotten and accumulate.

KSM page migration is already supported in the case of memory hotremove, which takes the ksm_thread_mutex across all its migrations to keep life simple. But the new KSM NUMA merge_across_nodes knob introduces a problem, when it's set to non-default 0: if a KSM page is migrated to a different NUMA node, how do we migrate its stable node to the right tree? And what if that collides with an existing stable node? So far there's no provision for that, and this patch does not attempt to deal with it either. But how will I test a solution, when I don't know how to hotremove memory? The best answer is to enable KSM page migration in all cases now, and test more common cases. With THP and compaction added since KSM came in, page migration is now mainstream, and it's a shame that a KSM page can frustrate freeing a page block. Without worrying about merge_across_nodes 0 for now, this patch gets KSM page migration working reliably for default merge_across_nodes 1 (but leave the patch enabling it until near the end of the series). It's much simpler than I'd originally imagined, and does not require an additional tier of locking: page migration relies on the page lock, KSM page reclaim relies on the page lock, the page lock is enough for KSM page migration too. Almost all the care has to be in get_ksm_page(): that's the function which worries about when a stable node is stale and should be freed, now it also has to worry about the KSM page being migrated. The only new overhead is an additional put/get/lock/unlock_page when stable_tree_search() arrives at a matching node: to make sure migration respects the raised page count, and so does not migrate the page while we're busy with it here. That's probably avoidable, either by changing internal interfaces from using kpage to stable_node, or by moving the ksm_migrate_page() callsite into a page_freeze_refs() section (even if not swapcache); but this works well, I've no urge to pull it apart now. (Descents of the stable tree may pass through nodes whose KSM pages are under migration: being unlocked, the raised page count does not prevent that, nor need it: it's safe to memcmp against either old or new page.) You might worry about mremap, and whether page migration's rmap_walk to remove migration entries will find all the KSM locations where it inserted earlier: that should already be handled, by the satisfyingly heavy hammer of move_vma()'s call to ksm_madvise(,,,MADV_UNMERGEABLE,).

Switching merge_across_nodes after running KSM is liable to oops on stale nodes still left over from the previous stable tree. It's not something that people will often want to do, but it would be lame to demand a reboot when they're trying to determine which merge_across_nodes setting is best. How can this happen? We only permit switching merge_across_nodes when pages_shared is 0, and usually set run 2 to force that beforehand, which ought to unmerge everything: yet oopses still occur when you then run 1. Three causes: 1. The old stable tree (built according to the inverse merge_across_nodes) has not been fully torn down. A stable node lingers until get_ksm_page() notices that the page it references no longer references it: but the page is not necessarily freed as soon as expected, particularly when swapcache. Fix this with a pass through the old stable tree, applying get_ksm_page() to each of the remaining nodes (most found stale and removed immediately), with forced removal of any left over. Unless the page is still mapped: I've not seen that case, it shouldn't occur, but better to WARN_ON_ONCE and EBUSY than BUG. 2. __ksm_enter() has a nice little optimization, to insert the new mm just behind ksmd's cursor, so there's a full pass for it to stabilize (or be removed) before ksmd addresses it. Nice when ksmd is running, but not so nice when we're trying to unmerge all mms: we were missing those mms forked and inserted behind the unmerge cursor. Easily fixed by inserting at the end when KSM_RUN_UNMERGE. 3. It is possible for a KSM page to be faulted back from swapcache into an mm, just after unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() scanned past it. Fix this by copying on fault when KSM_RUN_UNMERGE: but that is private to ksm.c, so dissolve the distinction between ksm_might_need_to_copy() and ksm_does_need_to_copy(), doing it all in the one call into ksm.c. A long outstanding, unrelated bugfix sneaks in with that third fix: ksm_does_need_to_copy() would copy from a !PageUptodate page (implying I/O error when read in from swap) to a page which it then marks Uptodate. Fix this case by not copying, letting do_swap_page() discover the error.

In some places where get_ksm_page() is used, we need the page to be locked. When KSM migration is fully enabled, we shall want that to make sure that the page just acquired cannot be migrated beneath us (raised page count is only effective when there is serialization to make sure migration notices). Whereas when navigating through the stable tree, we certainly do not want to lock each node (raised page count is enough to guarantee the memcmps, even if page is migrated to another node). Since we're about to add another use case, add the locked argument to get_ksm_page() now. Hmm, what's that rcu_read_lock() about? Complete misunderstanding, I really got the wrong end of the stick on that! There's a configuration in which page_cache_get_speculative() can do something cheaper than get_page_unless_zero(), relying on its caller's rcu_read_lock() to have disabled preemption for it. There's no need for rcu_read_lock() around get_page_unless_zero() (and mapping checks) here. Cut out that silliness before making this any harder to understand.

Add NUMA() and DO_NUMA() macros to minimize blight of #ifdef CONFIG_NUMAs (but indeed we don't want to expand struct rmap_item by nid when not NUMA). Add comment, remove "unsigned" from rmap_item->nid, as "int nid" elsewhere. Define ksm_merge_across_nodes 1U when #ifndef NUMA to help optimizing out. Use ?: in get_kpfn_nid(). Adjust a few comments noticed in ongoing work. Leave stable_tree_insert()'s rb_linkage until after the node has been set up, as unstable_tree_search_insert() does: ksm_thread_mutex and page lock make either way safe, but we're going to copy and I prefer this precedent.

Here's a KSM series, based on mmotm 2013-01-23-17-04: starting with Petr's v7 "KSM: numa awareness sysfs knob"; then fixing the two issues we had with that, fully enabling KSM page migration on the way. (A different kind of KSM/NUMA issue which I've certainly not begun to address here: when KSM pages are unmerged, there's usually no sense in preferring to allocate the new pages local to the caller's node.) This patch: Introduces new sysfs boolean knob /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes which control merging pages across different numa nodes. When it is set to zero only pages from the same node are merged, otherwise pages from all nodes can be merged together (default behavior). Typical use-case could be a lot of KVM guests on NUMA machine and cpus from more distant nodes would have significant increase of access latency to the merged ksm page. Sysfs knob was choosen for higher variability when some users still prefers higher amount of saved physical memory regardless of access latency. Every numa node has its own stable & unstable trees because of faster searching and inserting. Changing of merge_across_nodes value is possible only when there are not any ksm shared pages in system. I've tested this patch on numa machines with 2, 4 and 8 nodes and measured speed of memory access inside of KVM guests with memory pinned to one of nodes with this benchmark: http://pholasek.fedorapeople.org/alloc_pg.c Population standard deviations of access times in percentage of average were following: merge_across_nodes=1 2 nodes 1.4% 4 nodes 1.6% 8 nodes 1.7% merge_across_nodes=0 2 nodes 1% 4 nodes 0.32% 8 nodes 0.018% RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/30/91 v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/23/46 v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/105 v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/14/550 v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/23/137 v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/540 v6: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/154 v7: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/27/225 Hugh notes that this patch brings two problems, whose solution needs further support in mm/ksm.c, which follows in subsequent patches: 1) switching merge_across_nodes after running KSM is liable to oops on stale nodes still left over from the previous stable tree; 2) memory hotremove may migrate KSM pages, but there is no provision here for !merge_across_nodes to migrate nodes to the proper tree.

The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more conflicts than it is worth.

After the preparation work done in earlier patches, the cgroup_lock can be trivially replaced with a memcg-specific lock. This is an automatic translation at every site where the values involved were queried. The sites where values are written, however, used to be naturally called under cgroup_lock. This is the case for instance in the css_online callback. For those, we now need to explicitly add the memcg lock. With this, all the calls to cgroup_lock outside cgroup core are gone.

Currently, we use cgroups' provided list of children to verify if it is safe to proceed with any value change that is dependent on the cgroup being empty. This is less than ideal, because it enforces a dependency over cgroup core that we would be better off without. The solution proposed here is to iterate over the child cgroups and if any is found that is already online, we bounce and return: we don't really care how many children we have, only if we have any. This is also made to be hierarchy aware. IOW, cgroups with hierarchy disabled, while they still exist, will be considered for the purpose of this interface as having no children.

This patch is a preparatory work for later locking rework to get rid of big cgroup lock from memory controller code. The memory controller uses some tunables to adjust its operation. Those tunables are inherited from parent to children upon children intialization. For most of them, the value cannot be changed after the parent has a new children. cgroup core splits initialization in two phases: css_alloc and css_online. After css_alloc, the memory allocation and basic initialization are done. But the new group is not yet visible anywhere, not even for cgroup core code. It is only somewhere between css_alloc and css_online that it is inserted into the internal children lists. Copying tunable values in css_alloc will lead to inconsistent values: the children will copy the old parent values, that can change between the copy and the moment in which the groups is linked to any data structure that can indicate the presence of children.

In memcg, we use the cgroup_lock basically to synchronize against attaching new children to a cgroup. We do this because we rely on cgroup core to provide us with this information. We need to guarantee that upon child creation, our tunables are consistent. For those, the calls to cgroup_lock() all live in handlers like mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write(), where we change a tunable in the group that is hierarchy-related. For instance, the use_hierarchy flag cannot be changed if the cgroup already have children. Furthermore, those values are propagated from the parent to the child when a new child is created. So if we don't lock like this, we can end up with the following situation: A B memcg_css_alloc() mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write() copy use hierarchy from parent change use hierarchy in parent finish creation. This is mainly because during create, we are still not fully connected to the css tree. So all iterators and the such that we could use, will fail to show that the group has children. My observation is that all of creation can proceed in parallel with those tasks, except value assignment. So what this patch series does is to first move all value assignment that is dependent on parent values from css_alloc to css_online, where the iterators all work, and then we lock only the value assignment. This will guarantee that parent and children always have consistent values. Together with an online test, that can be derived from the observation that the refcount of an online memcg can be made to be always positive, we should be able to synchronize our side without the cgroup lock. This patch: Currently, we rely on the cgroup_lock() to prevent changes to move_charge_at_immigrate during task migration. However, this is only needed because the current strategy keeps checking this value throughout the whole process. Since all we need is serialization, one needs only to guarantee that whatever decision we made in the beginning of a specific migration is respected throughout the process. We can achieve this by just saving it in mc. By doing this, no kind of locking is needed.

In order to maintain all the memcg bookkeeping, we need per-node descriptors, which will in turn contain a per-zone descriptor. Because we want to statically allocate those, this array ends up being very big. Part of the reason is that we allocate something large enough to hold MAX_NUMNODES, the compile time constant that holds the maximum number of nodes we would ever consider. However, we can do better in some cases if the firmware help us. This is true for modern x86 machines; coincidentally one of the architectures in which MAX_NUMNODES tends to be very big. By using the firmware-provided maximum number of nodes instead of MAX_NUMNODES, we can reduce the memory footprint of struct memcg considerably. In the extreme case in which we have only one node, this reduces the size of the structure from ~ 64k to ~2k. This is particularly important because it means that we will no longer resort to the vmalloc area for the struct memcg on defconfigs. We also have enough room for an extra node and still be outside vmalloc. One also has to keep in mind that with the industry's ability to fit more processors in a die as fast as the FED prints money, a nodes = 2 configuration is already respectably big.
