      mm: migration: do not try to migrate unmapped anonymous pages · 67b9509b
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      rmap_walk_anon() was triggering errors in memory compaction that look like
      use-after-free errors.  The problem is that between the page being
      isolated from the LRU and rcu_read_lock() being taken, the mapcount of the
      page dropped to 0 and the anon_vma gets freed.  This can happen during
      memory compaction if pages being migrated belong to a process that exits
      before migration completes.  Hence, the use-after-free race looks like
      
       1. Page isolated for migration
       2. Process exits
       3. page_mapcount(page) drops to zero so anon_vma was no longer reliable
       4. unmap_and_move() takes the rcu_lock but the anon_vma is already garbage
       4. call try_to_unmap, looks up tha anon_vma and "locks" it but the lock
          is garbage.
      
      This patch checks the mapcount after the rcu lock is taken.  If the
      mapcount is zero, the anon_vma is assumed to be freed and no further
      action is taken.

      For clarity of review, KSM and page migration have separate refcounts on

      mm: migration: take a reference to the anon_vma before migrating · 3f6c8272
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patchset is a memory compaction mechanism that reduces external
      fragmentation memory by moving GFP_MOVABLE pages to a fewer number of
      pageblocks.  The term "compaction" was chosen as there are is a number of
      mechanisms that are not mutually exclusive that can be used to defragment
      memory.  For example, lumpy reclaim is a form of defragmentation as was
      slub "defragmentation" (really a form of targeted reclaim).  Hence, this
      is called "compaction" to distinguish it from other forms of
      defragmentation.
      
      In this implementation, a full compaction run involves two scanners
      operating within a zone - a migration and a free scanner.  The migration
      scanner starts at the beginning of a zone and finds all movable pages
      within one pageblock_nr_pages-sized area and isolates them on a
      migratepages list.  The free scanner begins at the end of the zone and
      searches on a per-area basis for enough free pages to migrate all the
      pages on the migratepages list.  As each area is respectively migrated or
      exhausted of free pages, the scanners are advanced one area.  A compaction
      run completes within a zone when the two scanners meet.
      
      This method is a bit primitive but is easy to understand and greater
      sophistication would require maintenance of counters on a per-pageblock
      basis.  This would have a big impact on allocator fast-paths to improve
      compaction which is a poor trade-off.
      
      It also does not try relocate virtually contiguous pages to be physically
      contiguous.  However, assuming transparent hugepages were in use, a
      hypothetical khugepaged might reuse compaction code to isolate free pages,
      split them and relocate userspace pages for promotion.
      
      Memory compaction can be triggered in one of three ways.  It may be
      triggered explicitly by writing any value to /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
      and compacting all of memory.  It can be triggered on a per-node basis by
      writing any value to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/compact where N is the
      node ID to be compacted.  When a process fails to allocate a high-order
      page, it may compact memory in an attempt to satisfy the allocation
      instead of entering direct reclaim.  Explicit compaction does not finish
      until the two scanners meet and direct compaction ends if a suitable page
      becomes available that would meet watermarks.
      
      The series is in 14 patches.  The first three are not "core" to the series
      but are important pre-requisites.
      
      Patch 1 reference counts anon_vma for rmap_walk_anon(). Without this
      	patch, it's possible to use anon_vma after free if the caller is
      	not holding a VMA or mmap_sem for the pages in question. While
      	there should be no existing user that causes this problem,
      	it's a requirement for memory compaction to be stable. The patch
      	is at the start of the series for bisection reasons.
      Patch 2 merges the KSM and migrate counts. It could be merged with patch 1
      	but would be slightly harder to review.
      Patch 3 skips over unmapped anon pages during migration as there are no
      	guarantees about the anon_vma existing. There is a window between
      	when a page was isolated and migration started during which anon_vma
      	could disappear.
      Patch 4 notes that PageSwapCache pages can still be migrated even if they
      	are unmapped.
      Patch 5 allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA
      Patch 6 exports a "unusable free space index" via debugfs. It's
      	a measure of external fragmentation that takes the size of the
      	allocation request into account. It can also be calculated from
      	userspace so can be dropped if requested
      Patch 7 exports a "fragmentation index" which only has meaning when an
      	allocation request fails. It determines if an allocation failure
      	would be due to a lack of memory or external fragmentation.
      Patch 8 moves the definition for LRU isolation modes for use by compaction
      Patch 9 is the compaction mechanism although it's unreachable at this point
      Patch 10 adds a means of compacting all of memory with a proc trgger
      Patch 11 adds a means of compacting a specific node with a sysfs trigger
      Patch 12 adds "direct compaction" before "direct reclaim" if it is
      	determined there is a good chance of success.
      Patch 13 adds a sysctl that allows tuning of the threshold at which the
      	kernel will compact or direct reclaim
      Patch 14 temporarily disables compaction if an allocation failure occurs
      	after compaction.
      
      Testing of compaction was in three stages.  For the test, debugging,
      preempt, the sleep watchdog and lockdep were all enabled but nothing nasty
      popped out.  min_free_kbytes was tuned as recommended by hugeadm to help
      fragmentation avoidance and high-order allocations.  It was tested on X86,
      X86-64 and PPC64.
      
      Ths first test represents one of the easiest cases that can be faced for
      lumpy reclaim or memory compaction.
      
      1. Machine freshly booted and configured for hugepage usage with
      	a) hugeadm --create-global-mounts
      	b) hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:8G
      	c) hugeadm --set-recommended-min_free_kbytes
      	d) hugeadm --set-recommended-shmmax
      
      	The min_free_kbytes here is important. Anti-fragmentation works best
      	when pageblocks don't mix. hugeadm knows how to calculate a value that
      	will significantly reduce the worst of external-fragmentation-related
      	events as reported by the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint.
      
      2. Load up memory
      	a) Start updatedb
      	b) Create in parallel a X files of pagesize*128 in size. Wait
      	   until files are created. By parallel, I mean that 4096 instances
      	   of dd were launched, one after the other using &. The crude
      	   objective being to mix filesystem metadata allocations with
      	   the buffer cache.
      	c) Delete every second file so that pageblocks are likely to
      	   have holes
      	d) kill updatedb if it's still running
      
      	At this point, the system is quiet, memory is full but it's full with
      	clean filesystem metadata and clean buffer cache that is unmapped.
      	This is readily migrated or discarded so you'd expect lumpy reclaim
      	to have no significant advantage over compaction but this is at
      	the POC stage.
      
      3. In increments, attempt to allocate 5% of memory as hugepages.
      	   Measure how long it took, how successful it was, how many
      	   direct reclaims took place and how how many compactions. Note
      	   the compaction figures might not fully add up as compactions
      	   can take place for orders other than the hugepage size
      
      X86				vanilla		compaction
      Final page count                    913                916 (attempted 1002)
      pages reclaimed                   68296               9791
      
      X86-64				vanilla		compaction
      Final page count:                   901                902 (attempted 1002)
      Total pages reclaimed:           112599              53234
      
      PPC64				vanilla		compaction
      Final page count:                    93                 94 (attempted 110)
      Total pages reclaimed:           103216              61838
      
      There was not a dramatic improvement in success rates but it wouldn't be
      expected in this case either.  What was important is that fewer pages were
      reclaimed in all cases reducing the amount of IO required to satisfy a
      huge page allocation.
      
      The second tests were all performance related - kernbench, netperf, iozone
      and sysbench.  None showed anything too remarkable.
      
      The last test was a high-order allocation stress test.  Many kernel
      compiles are started to fill memory with a pressured mix of unmovable and
      movable allocations.  During this, an attempt is made to allocate 90% of
      memory as huge pages - one at a time with small delays between attempts to
      avoid flooding the IO queue.
      
                                                   vanilla   compaction
      Percentage of request allocated X86               98           99
      Percentage of request allocated X86-64            95           98
      Percentage of request allocated PPC64             55           70
      
      This patch:
      
      rmap_walk_anon() does not use page_lock_anon_vma() for looking up and
      locking an anon_vma and it does not appear to have sufficient locking to
      ensure the anon_vma does not disappear from under it.
      
      This patch copies an approach used by KSM to take a reference on the
      anon_vma while pages are being migrated.  This should prevent rmap_walk()
      running into nasty surprises later because anon_vma has been freed.

      mm: default to node zonelist ordering when nodes have only lowmem · e325c90f
      David Rientjes 提交于
      There are two types of zonelist ordering methodologies:
      
       - node order, preferring allocations on a node to stay local to and
      
       - zone order, preferring allocations come from a higher zone to avoid
         allocating in lowmem zones even though they may not be local.
      
      The ordering technique used by the kernel is configurable on the command
      line, but also has some logic to determine what the default should be.
      
      This logic currently lacks knowledge of systems where a node may only have
      lowmem.  For such systems, it is necessary to use node order so that
      GFP_KERNEL allocations may be satisfied by nodes consisting of only
      lowmem.
      
      If zone order is used, GFP_KERNEL allocations to such nodes are actually
      allocated on a node with local affinity that includes ZONE_NORMAL.
      
      This change defaults to node zonelist ordering if any node lacks
      ZONE_NORMAL.
      
      To force zone order, append 'numa_zonelist_order=zone' to the kernel
      command line.

      cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems · c0ff7453
      Miao Xie 提交于
      Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
      mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
      old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
      there is no node to alloc memory.
      
      The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
      nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
      
      (mpol: mempolicy)
      	task1			task1's mpol	task2
      	alloc page		1
      	  alloc on node0? NO	1
      				1		change mems from 1 to 0
      				1		rebind task1's mpol
      				0-1		  set new bits
      				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
      	  alloc on node1? NO	0
      	  ...
      	can't alloc page
      	  goto oom
      
      This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
      allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
      use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
      nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
      read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

      mempolicy: restructure rebinding-mempolicy functions · 708c1bbc
      Miao Xie 提交于
      Nick Piggin reported that the allocator may see an empty nodemask when
      changing cpuset's mems[1].  It happens only on the kernel that do not do
      atomic nodemask_t stores.  (MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG)
      
      But I found that there is also a problem on the kernel that can do atomic
      nodemask_t stores.  The problem is that the allocator can't find a node to
      alloc page when changing cpuset's mems though there is a lot of free
      memory.  The reason is like this:
      
      (mpol: mempolicy)
      	task1			task1's mpol	task2
      	alloc page		1
      	  alloc on node0? NO	1
      				1		change mems from 1 to 0
      				1		rebind task1's mpol
      				0-1		  set new bits
      				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
      	  alloc on node1? NO	0
      	  ...
      	can't alloc page
      	  goto oom
      
      I can use the attached program reproduce it by the following step:
      
      # mkdir /dev/cpuset
      # mount -t cpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset
      # mkdir /dev/cpuset/1
      # echo `cat /dev/cpuset/cpus` > /dev/cpuset/1/cpus
      # echo `cat /dev/cpuset/mems` > /dev/cpuset/1/mems
      # echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/1/tasks
      # numactl --membind=`cat /dev/cpuset/mems` ./cpuset_mem_hog <nr_tasks> &
         <nr_tasks> = max(nr_cpus - 1, 1)
      # killall -s SIGUSR1 cpuset_mem_hog
      # ./change_mems.sh
      
      several hours later, oom will happen though there is a lot of free memory.
      
      This patchset fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set
      newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So
      we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is
      reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes
      after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.
      
      This patch:
      
      In order to fix no node to alloc memory, when we want to update mempolicy
      and mems_allowed, we expand the set of nodes first (set all the newly
      nodes) and shrink the set of nodes lazily(clean disallowed nodes), But the
      mempolicy's rebind functions may breaks the expanding.
      
      So we restructure the mempolicy's rebind functions and split the rebind
      work to two steps, just like the update of cpuset's mems: The 1st step:
      expand the set of the mempolicy's nodes.  The 2nd step: shrink the set of
      the mempolicy's nodes.  It is used when there is no real lock to protect
      the mempolicy in the read-side.  Otherwise we can do rebind work at once.
      
      In order to implement it, we define
      
      	enum mpol_rebind_step {
      		MPOL_REBIND_ONCE,
      		MPOL_REBIND_STEP1,
      		MPOL_REBIND_STEP2,
      		MPOL_REBIND_NSTEP,
      	};
      
      If the mempolicy needn't be updated by two steps, we can pass
      MPOL_REBIND_ONCE to the rebind functions.  Or we can pass
      MPOL_REBIND_STEP1 to do the first step of the rebind work and pass
      MPOL_REBIND_STEP2 to do the second step work.
      
      Besides that, it maybe long time between these two step and we have to
      release the lock that protects mempolicy and mems_allowed.  If we hold the
      lock once again, we must check whether the current mempolicy is under the
      rebinding (the first step has been done) or not, because the task may
      alloc a new mempolicy when we don't hold the lock.  So we defined the
      following flag to identify it:
      
      #define MPOL_F_REBINDING (1 << 2)
      
      The new functions will be used in the next patch.

      No need to call mpol_set_nodemask() when we have no context for the
      mempolicy.  This can occur when we're parsing a tmpfs 'mpol' mount option.
       Just save the raw nodemask in the mempolicy's w.user_nodemask member for
      use when a tmpfs/shmem file is created.  mpol_shared_policy_init() will
      "contextualize" the policy for the new file based on the creating task's
      context.

      page allocator: reduce fragmentation in buddy allocator by adding buddies that... · 6dda9d55
      Corrado Zoccolo 提交于
      page allocator: reduce fragmentation in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the free lists
      
      In order to reduce fragmentation, this patch classifies freed pages in two
      groups according to their probability of being part of a high order merge.
       Pages belonging to a compound whose next-highest buddy is free are more
      likely to be part of a high order merge in the near future, so they will
      be added at the tail of the freelist.  The remaining pages are put at the
      front of the freelist.
      
      In this way, the pages that are more likely to cause a big merge are kept
      free longer.  Consequently there is a tendency to aggregate the
      long-living allocations on a subset of the compounds, reducing the
      fragmentation.
      
      This heuristic was tested on three machines, x86, x86-64 and ppc64 with
      3GB of RAM in each machine.  The tests were kernbench, netperf, sysbench
      and STREAM for performance and a high-order stress test for huge page
      allocations.

      The tests are run to have confidence limits within 1%.  Results marked
      with a * were not confident although in this case, it's only outside by
      small amounts.  Even with some results that were not confident, the
      netperf UDP results were generally positive.

      There was a distinct lack of confidence in the X86* figures so I included
      what the devation was where the results were not confident.  Many of the
      results, whether gains or losses were within the standard deviation so no
      solid conclusion can be reached on performance impact.  Looking at the
      figures, only the X86-64 ones look suspicious with a few losses that were
      outside the noise.  However, the results were so unstable that without
      knowing why they vary so much, a solid conclusion cannot be reached.

      Again, there is little to conclude here.  While there are a few losses,
      the results vary by +/- 8% in some cases.  They are the results of most
      concern as there are some large losses but it's also within the variance
      typically seen between kernel releases.
      
      The STREAM results varied so little and are so verbose that I didn't
      include them here.
      
      The final test stressed how many huge pages can be allocated.  The
      absolute number of huge pages allocated are the same with or without the
      page.  However, the "unusability free space index" which is a measure of
      external fragmentation was slightly lower (lower is better) throughout the
      lifetime of the system.  I also measured the latency of how long it took
      to successfully allocate a huge page.  The latency was slightly lower and
      on X86 and PPC64, more huge pages were allocated almost immediately from
      the free lists.  The improvement is slight but there.

      tmpfs: insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first · e9d6c157
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
      This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9 ("vmscan: evict
      streaming IO first").  Wow, It is 2 years old patch!
      
      Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first.  This means
      that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
      it also reduces anon scanning ratio.  Therefore, vmscan will get totally
      confused.  It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
      unused tmpfs pages.
      
      Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
      1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
      2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.
      
      But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
      file LRU list.  then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
      (2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation.  then to
      insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
      insert active list.  Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
      chun.  but it was already solved by commit 64574746 (vmscan: detect
      mapped file pages used only once).  (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)
      
      Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

      Revert "ath9k: Group Key fix for VAPs" · a69eee49
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 03ceedea, since it
      breaks resume from suspend-to-ram on Rafael's Acer Ferrari One.
      NetworkManager thinks everything is ok, but it can't connect to the AP
      to get an IP address after the resume.
      
      In fact, it even breaks resume for non-ath9k chipsets: reverting it also
      fixes Rafael's Toshiba Protege R500 with the iwlagn driver.  As Johannes
      says:
      
        "Indeed, this patch needs to be reverted. That mac80211 change is wrong
         and completely unnecessary."
