      [PATCH] Use min of two prio settings in calculating distress for reclaim · bbdb396a
      Martin Bligh 提交于
      If try_to_free_pages / balance_pgdat are called with a gfp_mask specifying
      GFP_IO and/or GFP_FS, they will reclaim the requisite number of pages, and the
      reset prev_priority to DEF_PRIORITY (or to some other high (ie: unurgent)
      value).
      
      However, another reclaimer without those gfp_mask flags set (say, GFP_NOIO)
      may still be struggling to reclaim pages.  The concurrent overwrite of
      zone->prev_priority will cause this GFP_NOIO thread to unexpectedly cease
      deactivating mapped pages, thus causing reclaim difficulties.
      
      Fix this is to key the distress calculation not off zone->prev_priority, but
      also take into account the local caller's priority by using
      min(zone->prev_priority, sc->priority)

      [PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority race · 3bb1a852
      Martin Bligh 提交于
      The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim
      path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten
      (say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer.
      
      The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but
      it is fixed slightly differently.  In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate
      priority record per zone in a local array.  In try_to_free_pages there is
      no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we
      reclaim from.
      
      Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and
      setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress
      artificially low.  They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,
      in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).
      This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.
      
      From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
      
      __zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority.  But zone->prev_priority
      is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive
      list.  Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because
      zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up
      stuck on the active list.
      
      Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as
      __zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages.
      
      This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created.  It should be
      possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

      [PATCH] mm: clean up pagecache allocation · 2ae88149
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      - Consolidate page_cache_alloc
      
      - Fix splice: only the pagecache pages and filesystem data need to use
        mapping_gfp_mask.
      
      - Fix grab_cache_page_nowait: same as splice, also honour NUMA placement.
