      mm/rmap: extend rmap_walk_xxx() to cope with different cases · 0dd1c7bb
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      There are a lot of common parts in traversing functions, but there are
      also a little of uncommon parts in it.  By assigning proper function
      pointer on each rmap_walker_control, we can handle these difference
      correctly.
      
      Following are differences we should handle.
      
      1. difference of lock function in anon mapping case
      2. nonlinear handling in file mapping case
      3. prechecked condition:
      	checking memcg in page_referenced(),
      	checking VM_SHARE in page_mkclean()
      	checking temporary vma in try_to_unmap()
      4. exit condition:
      	checking page_mapped() in try_to_unmap()
      
      So, in this patch, I introduce 4 function pointers to handle above
      differences.

      mm/rmap: factor lock function out of rmap_walk_anon() · faecd8dd
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      When we traverse anon_vma, we need to take a read-side anon_lock.  But
      there is subtle difference in the situation so that we can't use same
      method to take a lock in each cases.  Therefore, we need to make
      rmap_walk_anon() taking difference lock function.
      
      This patch is the first step, factoring lock function for anon_lock out
      of rmap_walk_anon().  It will be used in case of removing migration
      entry and in default of rmap_walk_anon().

      To merge all kinds of rmap traverse functions, try_to_unmap(),
      try_to_munlock(), page_referenced() and page_mkclean(), we need to
      extract common parts and separate out non-common parts.
      
      Nonlinear handling is handled just in try_to_unmap_file() and other rmap
      traverse functions doesn't care of it.  Therfore it is better to factor
      nonlinear handling out of try_to_unmap_file() in order to merge all
      kinds of rmap traverse functions easily.

      mm/rmap: recompute pgoff for huge page · b854f711
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Rmap traversing is used in five different cases, try_to_unmap(),
      try_to_munlock(), page_referenced(), page_mkclean() and
      remove_migration_ptes().  Each one implements its own traversing
      functions for the cases, anon, file, ksm, respectively.  These cause
      lots of duplications and cause maintenance overhead.  They also make
      codes being hard to understand and error-prone.  One example is hugepage
      handling.  There is a code to compute hugepage offset correctly in
      try_to_unmap_file(), but, there isn't a code to compute hugepage offset
      in rmap_walk_file().  These are used pairwise in migration context, but
      we missed to modify pairwise.
      
      To overcome these drawbacks, we should unify these through one unified
      function.  I decide rmap_walk() as main function since it has no
      unnecessity.  And to control behavior of rmap_walk(), I introduce struct
      rmap_walk_control having some function pointers.  These makes
      rmap_walk() working for their specific needs.
      
      This patchset remove a lot of duplicated code as you can see in below
      short-stat and kernel text size also decrease slightly.

      This patch (of 9):
      
      We have to recompute pgoff if the given page is huge, since result based
      on HPAGE_SIZE is not approapriate for scanning the vma interval tree, as
      shown by commit 36e4f20a ("hugetlb: do not use
      vma_hugecache_offset() for vma_prio_tree_foreach") and commit 369a713e
      ("rmap: recompute pgoff for unmapping huge page").
      
      To handle both the cases, normal page for page cache and hugetlb page,
      by same way, we can use compound_page().  It returns 0 on non-compound
      page and it also returns proper value on compound page.

      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture
      is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries
      invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the
      pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights
      allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software
      managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand
      the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are
      quite expensive as well.

      s390/mm: implement software dirty bits · abf09bed
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
      it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
      modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
      of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
      problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f
      "mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".
      
      To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
      s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
      user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
      read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
      the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
      the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
      is removed.
      
      With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
      for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
      KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
      related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
      key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
      provide page age information.
      
      For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
      there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
      already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
      Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
      mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
      To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
      primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
      and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
      tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

      mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable · 4fc3f1d6
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() appears to be too
      careful about locking the anon vma: while it needs protection
      against anon vma list modifications, it does not need exclusive
      access to the list itself.
      
      Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes
      a global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense
      threaded workloads which can cause pathological performance like
      this:

      mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390 · ef5d437f
      Jan Kara 提交于
      On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture
      specific page dirty bit.  Thus when a page is written to via buffered
      write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page,
      page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty().
      
      Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of
      problems to filesystems.  The bug we observed in practice is that
      buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as
      dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion
      BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from
      xfs_count_page_state().
      
      Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from
      xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the
      hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then
      page unmapped.
      
      Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of
      mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty().  This is safe because for
      such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also
      marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault().  When the dirty bit is
      cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in
      page_mkclean().  So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is
      dirty.
      
      Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have
      mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned
      up variant of the patch.
      
      The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs
      while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines
      where the original problem was triggered.

      mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock · 2ec74c3e
      Sagi Grimberg 提交于
      In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
      invoking them under the page table spinlock.  This patch solves the
      problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
      (but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
      with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.
      
      To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
      the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
      saving the arguments in consistently named locals:
      
      	unsigned long mmun_start;	/* For mmu_notifiers */
      	unsigned long mmun_end;	/* For mmu_notifiers */
      
      	...
      
      	mmun_start = ...
      	mmun_end = ...
      	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
      
      	...
      
      	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
      
      The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
      mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
      close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
      aren't changing.
      
      This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
      added to the RDMA stack.
      
      Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?
      
        Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
        and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
        virtual addresses directly to HW.  Until now, this was achieved by
        pinning the memory during the registration calls.  The goal of on demand
        paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
         This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
        other part of their processes address spaces.  Instead of requiring the
        entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
        and only fit the current working set in physical memory.
      
      Why should anyone care?  What problems are users currently experiencing?
      
        This can make programming with RDMA much simpler.  Today, developers
        that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
        deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
        life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it.  On demand
        paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
        beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
        which pages needs to be fetched at a given time.  In the future, we
        might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
        that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
        region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
        all.
      
      Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
      infrastructural changes?  If so, which and how, etc?
      
        As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
        MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
        http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
        perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.
      
        Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
        hardware with the secondary page tables change.  A TLB flush of an IO
        device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
        sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
        interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.
      
      Avi said:
      
        kvm may be a buyer.  kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
        faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
        It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
        mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.
      
        (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
        generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
        is doing up there).

      We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as
      mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that
      truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
      mishandled:
      
      #include <sys/types.h>
      #include <sys/mman.h>
      #include <sys/stat.h>
      #include <stdlib.h>
      #include <unistd.h>
      #include <fcntl.h>
      #include <stdio.h>
      
      int main(void)
      {
      	char *map;
      	int fd;
      
      	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
      	fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
      	unlink("chigurh");
      	ftruncate(fd, 4096);
      	map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
      	map[0] = 11;
      	mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
      	ftruncate(fd, 0);
      	close(fd);
      	munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
      	munmap(map, 4096);
      	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
      	return 0;
      }
      
      The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
      the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
      look out for them there in page_remove_rmap().  Indeed, why should
      truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
      from pagecache?  mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
      property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

      In file and anon rmap, we use interval trees to find potentially relevant

      page might be found at in these vmas.  vma_address() used to include a
      check that the returned address falls within the limits of the vma, but
      this check isn't necessary now that we always use interval trees in rmap:
      the interval tree just doesn't return any vmas which this check would find
      to be irrelevant.  As a result, we can replace the use of -EFAULT error

      mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree. · bf181b9f
      Michel Lespinasse 提交于
      When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which
      will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through
      the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the
      vmas on a linked list.  This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we
      have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the
      one a given anon page might fall into.
      
      By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where
      each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we
      can make rmap efficient for this use case again.
      
      While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple.
      
      Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a
      known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
      interval tree iterator instead.  The exception here is ksm, where the
      page's index is not known.  It would probably be possible to rework ksm so
      that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things
      simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there.
      
      When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take
      care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree.  This is
      done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and
      anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from
      their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update.
       The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that
      rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

      mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail · 108d6642
      Michel Lespinasse 提交于
      mremap() had a clever optimization where move_ptes() did not take the
      anon_vma lock to avoid a race with anon rmap users such as page migration.
       Instead, the avc's were ordered in such a way that the origin vma was
      always visited by rmap before the destination.  This ordering and the use
      of page table locks rmap usage safe.  However, we want to replace the use
      of linked lists in anon rmap with an interval tree, and this will make it
      harder to impose such ordering as the interval tree will always be sorted
      by the avc->vma->vm_pgoff value.  For now, let's replace the
      anon_vma_moveto_tail() ordering function with proper anon_vma locking in
      move_ptes().  Once we have the anon interval tree in place, we will
      re-introduce an optimization to avoid taking these locks in the most
      common cases.

      mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree · 6b2dbba8
      Michel Lespinasse 提交于
      Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree.  The
      algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
      directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
      VMA.  So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
      details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
      filled in using the C preprocessor.
      
      Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
      replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

      memcg: use new logic for page stat accounting · 89c06bd5
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by
      duplicating page's status into the flag.  The reason is that memcg has a
      feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race
      between "move" and "page stat accounting",
      
      Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B.  CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B
      does "page stat accounting".
      
      When CPU-A goes 1st,
      
                  CPU-A                           CPU-B
                                          update "struct page" info.
          move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
          see pc->flags
          copy page stat to new group
          overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
          move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
                                          move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem)
                                          set pc->flags
                                          update page stat accounting
                                          move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem)
      
      stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic
      (CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information.
      
      But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and
      'struct page_cgroup'.  And, there is a potential problem.
      
      For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg.
      PG_..is a flag for struct page.
      PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup.
      (This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any
       kind of page stat accounting.)
      
      	  CPU-A                               CPU-B
            TestSet PG_dirty
            (delay)                        TestClear PG_dirty
                                           if (TestClear(PCG_dirty))
                                                memcg->nr_dirty--
            if (TestSet(PCG_dirty))
                memcg->nr_dirty++
      
      Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong.  This race was reported by Greg
      Thelen <gthelen@google.com>.  Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but
      fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug,
      _now_,
      
      If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in
      struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using
      original 'struct page' information.  But we'll have a problem in "move
      account"
      
      Assume we use only PG_dirty.
      
               CPU-A                   CPU-B
          TestSet PG_dirty
          (delay)                    move_lock_mem_cgroup()
                                     if (PageDirty(page))
                                            new_memcg->nr_dirty++
                                     pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg;
                                     move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
          move_lock_mem_cgroup()
          memcg = pc->mem_cgroup
          new_memcg->nr_dirty++
      
      accounting information may be double-counted.  This was original reason to
      have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem.
      
      I think we need a bigger lock as
      
           move_lock_mem_cgroup(page)
           TestSetPageDirty(page)
           update page stats (without any checks)
           move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page)
      
      This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into
      page_cgroup.  Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there
      are possibility of "account move" under the system.  So, in most path,
      status update will go without atomic locks.
      
      This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and
      mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying
      'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it.  as
      
           mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
           modify page information
           mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
           => never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters.
           mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat().
      
      This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/
      end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not.  A
      following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.
