Move the migrate_prep outside the mmap_sem for the following system calls 1. sys_move_pages 2. sys_migrate_pages 3. sys_mbind() It really does not matter when we flush the lru. The system is free to add pages onto the lru even during migration which will make the page migration either skip the page (mbind, migrate_pages) or return a busy state (move_pages). Fixes this lockdep warning (and potential deadlock): Some VM place has mmap_sem -> kevent_wq via lru_add_drain_all() net/core/dev.c::dev_ioctl() has rtnl_lock -> mmap_sem (*) the ioctl has copy_from_user() and it can do page fault. linkwatch_event has kevent_wq -> rtnl_lock Signed-off-by: NChristoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reported-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch tries to make page->mapping to be NULL before mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() is called. "page->mapping == NULL" is a good check for "whether the page is still radix-tree or not".

A patchset reworking sys_move_pages(). It removes the possibly large vmalloc by using multiple chunks when migrating large buffers. It also dramatically increases the throughput for large buffers since the lookup in new_page_node() is now limited to a single chunk, causing the quadratic complexity to have a much slower impact. There is no need to use any radix-tree-like structure to improve this lookup. sys_move_pages() duration on a 4-quadcore-opteron 2347HE (1.9Gz), migrating between nodes #2 and #3: length move_pages (us) move_pages+patch (us) 4kB 126 98 40kB 198 168 400kB 963 937 4MB 12503 11930 40MB 246867 11848 Patches #1 and #4 are the important ones: 1) stop returning -ENOENT from sys_move_pages() if nothing got migrated 2) don't vmalloc a huge page_to_node array for do_pages_stat() 3) extract do_pages_move() out of sys_move_pages() 4) rework do_pages_move() to work on page_sized chunks 5) move_pages: no need to set pp->page to ZERO_PAGE(0) by default This patch: There is no point in returning -ENOENT from sys_move_pages() if all pages were already on the right node, while we return 0 if only 1 page was not. Most application don't know where their pages are allocated, so it's not an error to try to migrate them anyway. Just return 0 and let the status array in user-space be checked if the application needs details. It will make the upcoming chunked-move_pages() support much easier.

Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages, the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required, resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour. Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide" them from vmscan. Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable lru list. Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set. Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on. The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU. A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various !evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path. To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state, the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()' -- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable, putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the unevictable list.

Define page_file_cache() function to answer the question: is page backed by a file? Originally part of Rik van Riel's split-lru patch. Extracted to make available for other, independent reclaim patches. Moved inline function to linux/mm_inline.h where it will be needed by subsequent "split LRU" and "noreclaim" patches. Unfortunately this needs to use a page flag, since the PG_swapbacked state needs to be preserved all the way to the point where the page is last removed from the LRU. Trying to derive the status from other info in the page resulted in wrong VM statistics in earlier split VM patchsets. The total number of page flags in use on a 32 bit machine after this patch is 19.

On large memory systems, the VM can spend way too much time scanning through pages that it cannot (or should not) evict from memory. Not only does it use up CPU time, but it also provokes lock contention and can leave large systems under memory presure in a catatonic state. This patch series improves VM scalability by: 1) putting filesystem backed, swap backed and unevictable pages onto their own LRUs, so the system only scans the pages that it can/should evict from memory 2) switching to two handed clock replacement for the anonymous LRUs, so the number of pages that need to be scanned when the system starts swapping is bound to a reasonable number 3) keeping unevictable pages off the LRU completely, so the VM does not waste CPU time scanning them. ramfs, ramdisk, SHM_LOCKED shared memory segments and mlock()ed VMA pages are keept on the unevictable list. This patch: isolate_lru_page logically belongs to be in vmscan.c than migrate.c. It is tough, because we don't need that function without memory migration so there is a valid argument to have it in migrate.c. However a subsequent patch needs to make use of it in the core mm, so we can happily move it to vmscan.c. Also, make the function a little more generic by not requiring that it adds an isolated page to a given list. Callers can do that. Note that we now have '__isolate_lru_page()', that does something quite different, visible outside of vmscan.c for use with memory controller. Methinks we need to rationalize these names/purposes. --lts [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mm/memory_hotplug.c build] Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NRik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLee Schermerhorn <Lee.Schermerhorn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or otherwise pinning a reference to the page. This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something else, we must be able to free it with a put_page). Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page in either case. This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie. adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make it work). Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to hold off speculative getters.

This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a different algorithm. (thanks to Christoph for new idea.) Before: - page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page. After: - a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup. Pros: - We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration. Cons: - new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common(). - mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong. This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton under memory resource controller. new refcnt sequence is following. a mapped page: prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page try_to_unmap() ..... all refs to OLD page is gone. move_pages() ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache. remap... ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one. end_migration() ..... -1 to New page. page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.

We'd like to support CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE on s390, which depends on CONFIG_MIGRATION. So far, CONFIG_MIGRATION is only available with NUMA support. This patch makes CONFIG_MIGRATION selectable for architectures that define ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. When MIGRATION is enabled w/o NUMA, the kernel won't compile because migrate_vmas() does not know about vm_ops->migrate() and vma_migratable() does not know about policy_zone. To fix this, those two functions can be restricted to '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA' because they are not being used w/o NUMA. vma_migratable() is moved over from migrate.h to mempolicy.h.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit 557ed1fa ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly. We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages, we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead. In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating all those useless newly zeroed pages. This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly. While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it) and a page that just wasn't mapped. We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not be turned into a "struct page *". The error is arbitrarily picked to be EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the equivalent IO-mapped page case. [ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing: that's not how that function works ] Acked-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Page migration gave me free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON page->page_cgroup. remove_migration_pte was calling mem_cgroup_charge on the new page whenever it found a swap pte, before it had determined it to be a migration entry. That left a surplus reference count on the page_cgroup, so it was still attached when the page was later freed. Move that mem_cgroup_charge down to where we're sure it's a migration entry. We were already under i_mmap_lock or anon_vma->lock, so its GFP_KERNEL was already inappropriate: change that to GFP_ATOMIC. It's essential that remove_migration_pte removes all the migration entries, other crashes follow if not. So proceed even when the charge fails: normally it cannot, but after a mem_cgroup_force_empty it might - comment in the code.

While using memory control cgroup, page-migration under it works as following. == 1. uncharge all refs at try to unmap. 2. charge regs again remove_migration_ptes() == This is simple but has following problems. == The page is uncharged and charged back again if *mapped*. - This means that cgroup before migration can be different from one after migration - If page is not mapped but charged as page cache, charge is just ignored (because not mapped, it will not be uncharged before migration) This is memory leak. == This patch tries to keep memory cgroup at page migration by increasing one refcnt during it. 3 functions are added. mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() --- increase refcnt of page->page_cgroup mem_cgroup_end_migration() --- decrease refcnt of page->page_cgroup mem_cgroup_page_migration() --- copy page->page_cgroup from old page to new page. During migration - old page is under PG_locked. - new page is under PG_locked, too. - both old page and new page is not on LRU. These 3 facts guarantee that page_cgroup() migration has no race.

Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts. This patch makes the charging routine aware of the gfp context. Charging might fail if the cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned. This patch was tested on a Powerpc box. I am still looking at being able to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL contexts.

Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

Orphaned page might have fs-private metadata, the page is truncated. As the page hasn't mapping, page migration refuse to migrate the page. It appears the page is only freed in page reclaim and if zone watermark is low, the page is never freed, as a result migration always fail. I thought we could free the metadata so such page can be freed in migration and make migration more reliable.

The find_task_by_something is a set of macros are used to find task by pid depending on what kind of pid is proposed - global or virtual one. All of them are wrappers above the most generic one - find_task_by_pid_type_ns() - and just substitute some args for it. It turned out, that dereferencing the current->nsproxy->pid_ns construction and pushing one more argument on the stack inline cause kernel text size to grow. This patch moves all this stuff out-of-line into kernel/pid.c. Together with the next patch it saves a bit less than 400 bytes from the .text section.

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after* set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary. This patch flush icache of a page when new pte has exec bit. && new pte has present bit && new pte is user's page. && (old *ptep is not present || new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn) && new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit. Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent. I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering "Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?". pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as clean-up.

Online nodes now may have no memory. The checks and initialization must therefore be changed to no longer use the online functions. This will correctly initialize the interleave on bootup to only target nodes with memory and will make sys_move_pages return an error when a page is to be moved to a memoryless node. Similarly we will get an error if MPOL_BIND and MPOL_INTERLEAVE is used on a memoryless node. These are somewhat new semantics. So far one could specify memoryless nodes and we would maybe do the right thing and just ignore the node (or we'd do something strange like with MPOL_INTERLEAVE). If we want to allow the specification of memoryless nodes via memory policies then we need to keep checking for online nodes.

In usual, migrate_pages(page,,) is called with holding mm->sem by system call. (mm here is a mm_struct which maps the migration target page.) This semaphore helps avoiding some race conditions. But, if we want to migrate a page by some kernel codes, we have to avoid some races. This patch adds check code for following race condition. 1. A page which page->mapping==NULL can be target of migration. Then, we have to check page->mapping before calling try_to_unmap(). 2. anon_vma can be freed while page is unmapped, but page->mapping remains as it was. We drop page->mapcount to be 0. Then we cannot trust page->mapping. So, use rcu_read_lock() to prevent anon_vma pointed by page->mapping from being freed during migration.

It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not. This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing storage and discarding. An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should be marked deprecated if this patch is merged. Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of Hugh Dickens. Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the concept.

Make radix tree lookups safe to be performed without locks. Readers are protected against nodes being deleted by using RCU based freeing. Readers are protected against new node insertion by using memory barriers to ensure the node itself will be properly written before it is visible in the radix tree. Each radix tree node keeps a record of their height (above leaf nodes). This height does not change after insertion -- when the radix tree is extended, higher nodes are only inserted in the top. So a lookup can take the pointer to what is *now* the root node, and traverse down it even if the tree is concurrently extended and this node becomes a subtree of a new root. "Direct" pointers (tree height of 0, where root->rnode points directly to the data item) are handled by using the low bit of the pointer to signal whether rnode is a direct pointer or a pointer to a radix tree node. When a reader wants to traverse the next branch, they will take a copy of the pointer. This pointer will be either NULL (and the branch is empty) or non-NULL (and will point to a valid node).
