      treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants · 752ade68
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc.  Let's use the helper
      instead.  The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
      usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator.  E.g.
      allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
      and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation.  This sounds too
      disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
      On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
      memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
      attempts previously.  There is no guarantee something like that happens
      though.
      
      This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
      they are more conservative.

      mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers · a7c3e901
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
      
      There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
      tree.  Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
      the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
      a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
      part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
      invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
      which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
      fallback is available.
      
      As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
      knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
      strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
      subsystem proper.
      
      Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
      instead.  This is patch 6.  There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
      in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
      was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

      [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com
      
      This patch (of 9):
      
      Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
      common pattern in the kernel code.  Yet we do not have any common helper
      for that and so users have invented their own helpers.  Some of them are
      really creative when doing so.  Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
      it is implemented properly.  This implementation makes sure to not make
      a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
      to not warn about allocation failures.  This also rules out the OOM
      killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
      user visible action.
      
      This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
      are specific for them.  In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
      ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
      require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
      (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL).  Those need to be
      fixed separately.
      
      While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
      mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
      kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
      superset) flags to catch new abusers.  Existing ones would have to die
      slowly.

      mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page() with a single reference to fix pmem crash · 71389703
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes
      crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good.
      
      The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86
      get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because
      get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate
      page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures.
      (The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.)
      
      But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to
      page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the
      get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on.
      
      One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use
      get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP
      using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem
      driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel
      feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.)
      
      So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the
      get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into
      __put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery:
      
      Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be
      removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap()
      reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the
      page to drop that reference.
      
      This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the
      percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(),
      since it now maintains its own elevated reference.
      
      This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going
      forward.

      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
      tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
      which requires another cacheline load.
      
      This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
      and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
      there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
      wakeup check that will clears the bit.
      
      The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
      Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
      generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
      under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
      
      This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
      2-3%.
      
      Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
      memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
      bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
      operand widths match and cover both bits).
