      mm: unmapped page migration avoid unmap+remap overhead · 2ebba6b7
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Page migration's __unmap_and_move(), and rmap's try_to_unmap(), were
      created for use on pages almost certainly mapped into userspace.  But
      nowadays compaction often applies them to unmapped page cache pages: which
      may exacerbate contention on i_mmap_rwsem quite unnecessarily, since
      try_to_unmap_file() makes no preliminary page_mapped() check.
      
      Now check page_mapped() in __unmap_and_move(); and avoid repeating the
      same overhead in rmap_walk_file() - don't remove_migration_ptes() when we
      never inserted any.
      
      (The PageAnon(page) comment blocks now look even sillier than before, but
      clean that up on some other occasion.  And note in passing that
      try_to_unmap_one() does not use a migration entry when PageSwapCache, so
      remove_migration_ptes() will then not update that swap entry to newpage
      pte: not a big deal, but something else to clean up later.)
      
      Davidlohr remarked in "mm,fs: introduce helpers around the i_mmap_mutex"
      conversion to i_mmap_rwsem, that "The biggest winner of these changes is
      migration": a part of the reason might be all of that unnecessary taking
      of i_mmap_mutex in page migration; and it's rather a shame that I didn't
      get around to sending this patch in before his - this one is much less
      useful after Davidlohr's conversion to rwsem, but still good.

      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.

      mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotect · d3cb8bf6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the
      entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration
      entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as
      read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write
      again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write
      migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially
      allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by
      double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration
      completes.

      mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API · 0a31bc97
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's
      lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively
      complicated and fragile.
      
      Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their
      page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type
      could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page
      cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap
      pages.  However, these operations happen well before the page is actually
      freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary:
      
      - Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need
        to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging.
      
      - Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and
        possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed.  This means
        that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make
        no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to
        make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged.
      
      - On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused,
        so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case.
        Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so
        special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache().
      
      But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce
      mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we
      know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore.
      
      For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after
      the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped.  Because
      the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double
      charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and
      pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge.  The new bits
      PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred
      to the new page during migration.
      
      mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well,
      which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache().  However, care
      needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can
      already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page
      lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a
      page under migration.  Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we
      uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may
      race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to
      prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward.
      
      Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer
      uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can
      transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry
      before the final put_page() in page reclaim.
      
      Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the
      page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock,
      whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock.
      Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references.
      Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which
      serializes against charge migration.  Remove the very costly page_cgroup
      lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

      I did not respond at the time, because a glance at the PageDirty block
      in shrink_page_list() quickly shows that this is impossible: we don't do
      writeback on file pages (other than tmpfs) from direct reclaim nowadays.
      Dave was hallucinating, but it would have been disrespectful to say so.
      
      However, my own /var/log/messages now shows similar complaints
      
        WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28814 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1881 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b()

      from stressing some mmotm trees during July.
      
      Could a dirty xfs or ext4 file page somehow get marked PageSwapBacked,
      so fail shrink_page_list()'s page_is_file_cache() test, and so proceed
      to mapping->a_ops->writepage()?
      
      Yes, 3.16-rc1's commit 68711a74 ("mm, migration: add destination
      page freeing callback") has provided such a way to compaction: if
      migrating a SwapBacked page fails, its newpage may be put back on the
      list for later use with PageSwapBacked still set, and nothing will clear
      it.
      
      Whether that can do anything worse than issue WARN_ON_ONCEs, and get
      some statistics wrong, is unclear: easier to fix than to think through
      the consequences.
      
      Fixing it here, before the put_new_page(), addresses the bug directly,
      but is probably the worst place to fix it.  Page migration is doing too
      many parts of the job on too many levels: fixing it in
      move_to_new_page() to complement its SetPageSwapBacked would be
      preferable, except why is it (and newpage->mapping and newpage->index)
      done there, rather than down in migrate_page_move_mapping(), once we are
      sure of success? Not a cleanup to get into right now, especially not
      with memcg cleanups coming in 3.17.

      I believe this comes about because, whereas collapsing and splitting THP
      functions take anon_vma lock in write mode (which excludes concurrent
      rmap walks), faulting THP functions (write protection and misplaced
      NUMA) do not - and mostly they do not need to.
      
      But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for
      an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in
      there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge.
      
      Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration
      ptes, seen in the dumped trace.  Although that rmap walk has a 4k page
      to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from
      4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with
      that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent.
      
      I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily
      handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions.
      
      And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than
      a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or
      non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.

      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting
      little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity:
      indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the
      migration entries that was temporarily inserted.
      
      The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree
      (good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good
      for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages()
      range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range).
      
      remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the
      i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration
      entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race.
      
      The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this;
      but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

      mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify · e97ca8e5
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
      remote nodes.  It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
      does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
      when the fallback fails, e.g.  through a subsequent allocation request
      without GFP_THISNODE set.
      
      However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
      aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
      triggering reclaim if necessary.  This results in things like page
      migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
      memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
      concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.
      
      Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
      to __GFP_THISNODE.  This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
      at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
      kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
      happen when memory is full.

      aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane · 8e321fef

      The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core
      migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking
      fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation.
      To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter
      that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page
      being migrated.
      
      While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page
      being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent
      misbehaviour in the case of races.

      mm: thp: give transparent hugepage code a separate copy_page · 30b0a105
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
      for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
      
             if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
                      copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
      
      So, yay for code reuse.  But:
      
        void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
        {
              struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
      
      and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate().  This works 99% of the
      time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
      alone.  Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
      page order, it works.
      
      But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
      (say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
      so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
      since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
      
        void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
        {
              struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
              if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
        ...
      
      Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
      functions.  This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
      copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.
      
      I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff ("mm: numa: Add
      THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")

      After page migration, the new page has the nidpid unset. This makes

      leading to another page migration.
      
      Copying over the nidpid at page migration time should prevent erroneous

      sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faults · b795854b
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
      are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
      there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
      the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
      that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
      interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
      average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
      applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
      page boundary.
      
      To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
      applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
      are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
      no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
      interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.
      
      To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
      but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
      Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
      to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
      well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
      just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
      determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
      private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
      the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
      faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.
      
      First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
      towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
      scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
      tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
      effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
      private faults can result in lower performance overall.
      
      The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
      number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
      array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
      as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.
      
      The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
      other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

      mm: numa: Scan pages with elevated page_mapcount · 1bc115d8
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false
      shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated
      page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the
      nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data.
      
      This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support
      for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so
      that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note
      that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked
      VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages
      is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between
      caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.
