Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail if the node has no memory. Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom interleave variable. The callers of this function, though, assume that a failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated on the system period. This might not be the case, for instance, if we have an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory on the other nodes. To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated. Add a helper function for actually allocating the hugepage. Use a new global nid iterator to control which nid to allocate on. Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now enforced even for memoryless nodes. That is, there is should be no fallback to other nodes. Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from. If this is incorrect, accounting will break. Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2 memoryless nodes).

When shrinking the size of the hugetlb pool via the nr_hugepages sysctl, we are careful to keep enough pages around to satisfy reservations. But the calculation is flawed for the following scenario: Action Pool Counters (Total, Free, Resv) ====== ============= Set pool to 1 page 1 1 0 Map 1 page MAP_PRIVATE 1 1 0 Touch the page to fault it in 1 0 0 Set pool to 3 pages 3 2 0 Map 2 pages MAP_SHARED 3 2 2 Set pool to 2 pages 2 1 2 <-- Mistake, should be 3 2 2 Touch the 2 shared pages 2 0 1 <-- Program crashes here The last touch above will terminate the process due to lack of huge pages. This patch corrects the calculation so that it factors in pages being used for private mappings. Andrew, this is a standalone fix suitable for mainline. It is also now corrected in my latest dynamic pool resizing patchset which I will send out soon.

For historical reason, expanding ftruncate that increases file size on hugetlbfs is not allowed due to pages were pre-faulted and lack of fault handler. Now that we have demand faulting on hugetlb since 2.6.15, there is no reason to hold back that limitation. This will make hugetlbfs behave more like a normal fs. I'm writing a user level code that uses hugetlbfs but will fall back to tmpfs if there are no hugetlb page available in the system. Having hugetlbfs specific ftruncate behavior is a bit quirky and I would like to remove that artificial limitation.

The maximum size of the huge page pool can be controlled using the overall size of the hugetlb filesystem (via its 'size' mount option). However in the common case the this will not be set as the pool is traditionally fixed in size at boot time. In order to maintain the expected semantics, we need to prevent the pool expanding by default. This patch introduces a new sysctl controlling dynamic pool resizing. When this is enabled the pool will expand beyond its base size up to the size of the hugetlb filesystem. It is disabled by default.

Shared mappings require special handling because the huge pages needed to fully populate the VMA must be reserved at mmap time. If not enough pages are available when making the reservation, allocate all of the shortfall at once from the buddy allocator and add the pages directly to the hugetlb pool. If they cannot be allocated, then fail the mapping. The page surplus is accounted for in the same way as for private mappings; faulted surplus pages will be freed at unmap time. Reserved, surplus pages that have not been used must be freed separately when their reservation has been released.

Because we overcommit hugepages for MAP_PRIVATE mappings, it is possible that the hugetlb pool will be exhausted or completely reserved when a hugepage is needed to satisfy a page fault. Before killing the process in this situation, try to allocate a hugepage directly from the buddy allocator. The explicitly configured pool size becomes a low watermark. When dynamically grown, the allocated huge pages are accounted as a surplus over the watermark. As huge pages are freed on a node, surplus pages are released to the buddy allocator so that the pool will shrink back to the watermark. Surplus accounting also allows for friendlier explicit pool resizing. When shrinking a pool that is fully in-use, increase the surplus so pages will be returned to the buddy allocator as soon as they are freed. When growing a pool that has a surplus, consume the surplus first and then allocate new pages.

Dynamic huge page pool resizing. In most real-world scenarios, configuring the size of the hugetlb pool correctly is a difficult task. If too few pages are allocated to the pool, applications using MAP_SHARED may fail to mmap() a hugepage region and applications using MAP_PRIVATE may receive SIGBUS. Isolating too much memory in the hugetlb pool means it is not available for other uses, especially those programs not using huge pages. The obvious answer is to let the hugetlb pool grow and shrink in response to the runtime demand for huge pages. The work Mel Gorman has been doing to establish a memory zone for movable memory allocations makes dynamically resizing the hugetlb pool reliable within the limits of that zone. This patch series implements dynamic pool resizing for private and shared mappings while being careful to maintain existing semantics. Please reply with your comments and feedback; even just to say whether it would be a useful feature to you. Thanks. How it works ============ Upon depletion of the hugetlb pool, rather than reporting an error immediately, first try and allocate the needed huge pages directly from the buddy allocator. Care must be taken to avoid unbounded growth of the hugetlb pool, so the hugetlb filesystem quota is used to limit overall pool size. The real work begins when we decide there is a shortage of huge pages. What happens next depends on whether the pages are for a private or shared mapping. Private mappings are straightforward. At fault time, if alloc_huge_page() fails, we allocate a page from the buddy allocator and increment the source node's surplus_huge_pages counter. When free_huge_page() is called for a page on a node with a surplus, the page is freed directly to the buddy allocator instead of the hugetlb pool. Because shared mappings require all of the pages to be reserved up front, some additional work must be done at mmap() to support them. We determine the reservation shortage and allocate the required number of pages all at once. These pages are then added to the hugetlb pool and marked reserved. Where that is not possible the mmap() will fail. As with private mappings, the appropriate surplus counters are updated. Since reserved huge pages won't necessarily be used by the process, we can't be sure that free_huge_page() will always be called to return surplus pages to the buddy allocator. To prevent the huge page pool from bloating, we must free unused surplus pages when their reservation has ended. Controlling it ============== With the entire patch series applied, pool resizing is off by default so unless specific action is taken, the semantics are unchanged. To take advantage of the flexibility afforded by this patch series one must tolerate a change in semantics. To control hugetlb pool growth, the following techniques can be employed: * A sysctl tunable to enable/disable the feature entirely * The size= mount option for hugetlbfs filesystems to limit pool size Performance =========== When contiguous memory is readily available, it is expected that the cost of dynamicly resizing the pool will be small. This series has been performance tested with 'stream' to measure this cost. Stream (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/) was linked with libhugetlbfs to enable remapping of the text and data/bss segments into huge pages. Stream with small array ----------------------- Baseline: nr_hugepages = 0, No libhugetlbfs segment remapping Preallocated: nr_hugepages = 5, Text and data/bss remapping Dynamic: nr_hugepages = 0, Text and data/bss remapping Rate (MB/s) Function Baseline Preallocated Dynamic Copy: 4695.6266 5942.8371 5982.2287 Scale: 4451.5776 5017.1419 5658.7843 Add: 5815.8849 7927.7827 8119.3552 Triad: 5949.4144 8527.6492 8110.6903 Stream with large array ----------------------- Baseline: nr_hugepages = 0, No libhugetlbfs segment remapping Preallocated: nr_hugepages = 67, Text and data/bss remapping Dynamic: nr_hugepages = 0, Text and data/bss remapping Rate (MB/s) Function Baseline Preallocated Dynamic Copy: 2227.8281 2544.2732 2546.4947 Scale: 2136.3208 2430.7294 2421.2074 Add: 2773.1449 4004.0021 3999.4331 Triad: 2748.4502 3777.0109 3773.4970 * All numbers are averages taken from 10 consecutive runs with a maximum standard deviation of 1.3 percent noted.

To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(), To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range(). Changes V6 -> V7 - removed unnecessary #ifdef There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..

A clean up patch for "scanning memory resource [start, end)" operation. Now, find_next_system_ram() function is used in memory hotplug, but this interface is not easy to use and codes are complicated. This patch adds walk_memory_resouce(start,len,arg,func) function. The function 'func' is called per valid memory resouce range in [start,pfn).

The statistics patch later needs to know what order a free page is on the free lists. Rather than having special knowledge of page_private() when PageBuddy() is set, this patch places out page_order() in internal.h and adds a VM_BUG_ON to catch using it on non-PageBuddy pages.

We touch a cacheline in the kmem_cache structure for zeroing to get the size. However, the hot paths in slab_alloc and slab_free do not reference any other fields in kmem_cache, so we may have to just bring in the cacheline for this one access. Add a new field to kmem_cache_cpu that contains the object size. That cacheline must already be used in the hotpaths. So we save one cacheline on every slab_alloc if we zero. We need to update the kmem_cache_cpu object size if an aliasing operation changes the objsize of an non debug slab.

The kmem_cache_cpu structures introduced are currently an array placed in the kmem_cache struct. Meaning the kmem_cache_cpu structures are overwhelmingly on the wrong node for systems with a higher amount of nodes. These are performance critical structures since the per node information has to be touched for every alloc and free in a slab. In order to place the kmem_cache_cpu structure optimally we put an array of pointers to kmem_cache_cpu structs in kmem_cache (similar to SLAB). However, the kmem_cache_cpu structures can now be allocated in a more intelligent way. We would like to put per cpu structures for the same cpu but different slab caches in cachelines together to save space and decrease the cache footprint. However, the slab allocators itself control only allocations per node. We set up a simple per cpu array for every processor with 100 per cpu structures which is usually enough to get them all set up right. If we run out then we fall back to kmalloc_node. This also solves the bootstrap problem since we do not have to use slab allocator functions early in boot to get memory for the small per cpu structures. Pro: - NUMA aware placement improves memory performance - All global structures in struct kmem_cache become readonly - Dense packing of per cpu structures reduces cacheline footprint in SMP and NUMA. - Potential avoidance of exclusive cacheline fetches on the free and alloc hotpath since multiple kmem_cache_cpu structures are in one cacheline. This is particularly important for the kmalloc array. Cons: - Additional reference to one read only cacheline (per cpu array of pointers to kmem_cache_cpu) in both slab_alloc() and slab_free().

We need the offset from the page struct during slab_alloc and slab_free. In both cases we also reference the cacheline of the kmem_cache_cpu structure. We can therefore move the offset field into the kmem_cache_cpu structure freeing up 16 bits in the page struct. Moving the offset allows an allocation from slab_alloc() without touching the page struct in the hot path. The only thing left in slab_free() that touches the page struct cacheline for per cpu freeing is the checking of SlabDebug(page). The next patch deals with that. Use the available 16 bits to broaden page->inuse. More than 64k objects per slab become possible and we can get rid of the checks for that limitation. No need anymore to shrink the order of slabs if we boot with 2M sized slabs (slub_min_order=9). No need anymore to switch off the offset calculation for very large slabs since the field in the kmem_cache_cpu structure is 32 bits and so the offset field can now handle slab sizes of up to 8GB.
