      mm/balloon_compaction: add vmstat counters and kpageflags bit · 09316c09
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled
      and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON.
      
      Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate",
      "balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate".  They accumulate balloon
      activity.  Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate)
      pages.
      
      All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON.
      It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature.
      Currently virtio-balloon is the only user.

      mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages management · d6d86c0a
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range().
      Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests
      AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags.  This function has no protection
      against anonymous pages.  As result it tried to check address space flags
      inside struct anon_vma.
      
      Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation:
      
      * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works:
        balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count.  In
        __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus
        balloon_page_movable() always fails.  As a result execution goes to the
        normal migration path.  virtballoon_migratepage() returns
        MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS,
        move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns
        newpage->mapping to NULL.  Newly migrated page lose connectivity with
        balloon an all ability for further migration.
      
      * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for
        isolation ballooned page.  This function releases lru_lock periodically,
        this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages.
      
      * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate:
        balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between
        picking page from list and locking page_lock.  Race is rare because they
        use trylock_page() for locking.
      
      This patch fixes all of them.
      
      Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of
      page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256.  Buddy allocator uses
      PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose.  Storing mark
      directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier.
      
      PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e.  not
      isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages).  It replaces special rules for
      reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of
      normal pages.  This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to
      the balloon device.

      virtio_balloon: introduce migration primitives to balloon pages · e2250429
      Rafael Aquini 提交于
      Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
      the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
      thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
      transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
      
      Besides making balloon pages movable at allocation time and introducing
      the necessary primitives to perform balloon page migration/compaction,
      this patch also introduces the following locking scheme, in order to
      enhance the syncronization methods for accessing elements of struct
      virtio_balloon, thus providing protection against concurrent access
      introduced by parallel memory migration threads.

      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Since ee7cd898 'virtio: expose added
      descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might
      now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick.  I audited both and this
      seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API.
      Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
      virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is
      racy.
      
      While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
      easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
      (mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.

      virtio: balloon: leak / fill balloon across S4 · 4eb05d56
      Amit Shah 提交于
      commit e562966d added support for S4 to
      the balloon driver.  The freeze function did nothing to free the pages,
      since reclaiming the pages from the host to immediately give them back
      (if S4 was successful) seemed wasteful.  Also, if S4 wasn't successful,
      the guest would have to re-fill the balloon.  On restore, the pages were
      supposed to be marked freed and the free page counters were incremented
      to reflect the balloon was totally deflated.
      
      However, this wasn't done right.  The pages that were earlier taken away
      from the guest during a balloon inflation operation were just shown as
      used pages after a successful restore from S4.  Just a fancy way of
      leaking lots of memory.
      
      Instead of trying that, just leak the balloon on freeze and fill it on
      restore/thaw paths.  This works properly now.  The optimisation to not
      leak can be added later on after a bit of refactoring of the code.

      virtio: balloon: Add freeze, restore handlers to support S4 · e562966d
      Amit Shah 提交于
      Handling balloon hibernate / restore is tricky.  If the balloon was
      inflated before going into the hibernation state, upon resume, the host
      will not have any memory of that.  Any pages that were passed on to the
      host earlier would most likely be invalid, and the host will have to
      re-balloon to the previous value to get in the pre-hibernate state.
      
      So the only sane thing for the guest to do here is to discard all the
      pages that were put in the balloon.  When to discard the pages is the
      next question.
      
      One solution is to deflate the balloon just before writing the image to
      the disk (in the freeze() PM callback).  However, asking for pages from
      the host just to discard them immediately after seems wasteful of
      resources.  Hence, it makes sense to do this by just fudging our
      counters soon after wakeup.  This means we don't deflate the balloon
      before sleep, and also don't put unnecessary pressure on the host.
      
      This also helps in the thaw case: if the freeze fails for whatever
      reason, the balloon should continue to remain in the inflated state.
      This was tested by issuing 'swapoff -a' and trying to go into the S4
      state.  That fails, and the balloon stays inflated, as expected.  Both
      the host and the guest are happy.
      
      Finally, in the restore() callback, we empty the list of pages that were
      previously given off to the host, add the appropriate number of pages to
      the totalram_pages counter, reset the num_pages counter to 0, and
      all is fine.
      
      As a last step, delete the vqs on the freeze callback to prepare for
      hibernation, and re-create them in the restore and thaw callbacks to
      resume normal operation.
      
      The kthread doesn't race with any operations here, since it's frozen
      before the freeze() call and is thawed after the thaw() and restore()
      callbacks, so we're safe with that.

      virtio balloon: kill tell-host-first logic · bf50e69f
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST
      feature bit.  Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must
      always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator.
      Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another
      user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it.
      
      But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to
      reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_.
      As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it.
      
      This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case.  This
      should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or
      untestable code in the kernel.
      
      This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list
      after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some
      temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      virtio: Fix scheduling while atomic in virtio_balloon stats · 1f34c71a
      Adam Litke 提交于
      This is a fix for my earlier patch: "virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to
      the balloon driver (V4)".
      
      I discovered that all_vm_events() can sleep and therefore stats collection
      cannot be done in interrupt context.  One solution is to handle the interrupt
      by noting that stats need to be collected and waking the existing vballoon
      kthread which will complete the work via stats_handle_request().  Rusty, is
      this a saner way of doing business?
      
      There is one issue that I would like a broader opinion on.  In stats_request, I
      update vb->need_stats_update and then wake up the kthread.  The kthread uses
      vb->need_stats_update as a condition variable.  Do I need a memory barrier
      between the update and wake_up to ensure that my kthread sees the correct
      value?  My testing suggests that it is not needed but I would like some
      confirmation from the experts.

      virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4) · 9564e138
      Adam Litke 提交于
      Changes since V3:
       - Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host
       - Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes
       - Minor coding style updates
      
      Changes since V2:
       - Increase stat field size to 64 bits
       - Report all sizes in kb (not pages)
       - Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion
      
      Changes since V1:
       - Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space
      
      When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for
      guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information
      that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests.  The current method
      employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a
      host daemon at a specified time interval.  The host daemon aggregates this
      information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of
      host memory pressure.  This approach is effective but overly complex since a
      daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with
      the host.  A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio
      balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.
      
      This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and
      reporting to the virtio balloon driver.
