      mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcg · c4159a75
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg,
      which sets page->_mapcount to -512.  Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg
      in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated
      with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any
      cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context.  To avoid overhead
      in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is
      true.  The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups
      (online or offline).  The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled.
      
      As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root
      cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all
      kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g.
      
        # no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one
        mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
        # run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g.
        # a program using pipe
        dmesg | tail
        # remove the memory cgroup
        rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
      
      we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1:
      
        BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0  pfn:1fd945c
        page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
        flags: 0x1000000000000000()
      
      To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are
      actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

      mm, compaction: simplify contended compaction handling · c3486f53
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on
      zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched().  Since 1f9efdef ("mm,
      compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the
      code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the
      __alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken
      for khugepaged allocations.
      
      After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for
      contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock
      and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot.
      
      However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and
      completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial
      async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP
      page fault allocations.  There are several reasons why this can be done
      now:
      
      - with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at
        all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has
        indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it
        means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits.
      - even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously
        wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the
        contention and back off, if the contention persists
      - there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits
        in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies

      mm, compaction: introduce direct compaction priority · a5508cd8
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we
      would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while
      trying as hard as possible.  Current async/sync_light migration mode is
      insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions,
      marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone.  At
      least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these
      heuristics.
      
      To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode
      with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function
      signatures.  In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is
      constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags.  This
      patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels
      are mapped back to the same migration modes as before.  Expanding them
      will be done next.
      
      Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is
      removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.
