HugeTLB is limited to allocating hugepages whose size are less than MAX_ORDER order. This is so because HugeTLB allocates hugepages via the buddy allocator. Gigantic pages (that is, pages whose size is greater than MAX_ORDER order) have to be allocated at boottime. However, boottime allocation has at least two serious problems. First, it doesn't support NUMA and second, gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed. This commit solves both issues by adding support for allocating gigantic pages during runtime. It works just like regular sized hugepages, meaning that the interface in sysfs is the same, it supports NUMA, and gigantic pages can be freed. For example, on x86_64 gigantic pages are 1GB big. To allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do: # echo 2 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages And to free them all: # echo 0 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages The one problem with gigantic page allocation at runtime is that it can't be serviced by the buddy allocator. To overcome that problem, this commit scans all zones from a node looking for a large enough contiguous region. When one is found, it's allocated by using CMA, that is, we call alloc_contig_range() to do the actual allocation. For example, on x86_64 we scan all zones looking for a 1GB contiguous region. When one is found, it's allocated by alloc_contig_range(). One expected issue with that approach is that such gigantic contiguous regions tend to vanish as runtime goes by. The best way to avoid this for now is to make gigantic page allocations very early during system boot, say from a init script. Other possible optimization include using compaction, which is supported by CMA but is not explicitly used by this commit. It's also important to note the following: 1. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime by the hugepages= command-line option can be freed at runtime just fine 2. This commit adds support for gigantic pages only to x86_64. The reason is that I don't have access to nor experience with other archs. The code is arch indepedent though, so it should be simple to add support to different archs 3. I didn't add support for hugepage overcommit, that is allocating a gigantic page on demand when /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0. The reason is that I don't think it's reasonable to do the hard and long work required for allocating a gigantic page at fault time. But it should be simple to add this if wanted [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: NLuiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NDavidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Acked-by: NKirill A.

The HugeTLB subsystem uses the buddy allocator to allocate hugepages during runtime. This means that hugepages allocation during runtime is limited to MAX_ORDER order. For archs supporting gigantic pages (that is, page sizes greater than MAX_ORDER), this in turn means that those pages can't be allocated at runtime. HugeTLB supports gigantic page allocation during boottime, via the boot allocator. To this end the kernel provides the command-line options hugepagesz= and hugepages=, which can be used to instruct the kernel to allocate N gigantic pages during boot. For example, x86_64 supports 2M and 1G hugepages, but only 2M hugepages can be allocated and freed at runtime. If one wants to allocate 1G gigantic pages, this has to be done at boot via the hugepagesz= and hugepages= command-line options. Now, gigantic page allocation at boottime has two serious problems: 1. Boottime allocation is not NUMA aware. On a NUMA machine the kernel evenly distributes boottime allocated hugepages among nodes. For example, suppose you have a four-node NUMA machine and want to allocate four 1G gigantic pages at boottime. The kernel will allocate one gigantic page per node. On the other hand, we do have users who want to be able to specify which NUMA node gigantic pages should allocated from. So that they can place virtual machines on a specific NUMA node. 2. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed At this point it's important to observe that regular hugepages allocated at runtime don't have those problems. This is so because HugeTLB interface for runtime allocation in sysfs supports NUMA and runtime allocated pages can be freed just fine via the buddy allocator. This series adds support for allocating gigantic pages at runtime. It does so by allocating gigantic pages via CMA instead of the buddy allocator. Releasing gigantic pages is also supported via CMA. As this series builds on top of the existing HugeTLB interface, it makes gigantic page allocation and releasing just like regular sized hugepages. This also means that NUMA support just works. For example, to allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do: # echo 2 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages And, to release all gigantic pages on the same node: # echo 0 > \ /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages Please, refer to patch 5/5 for full technical details. Finally, please note that this series is a follow up for a previous series that tried to extend the command-line options set to be NUMA aware: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139593335312191&w=2 During the discussion of that series it was agreed that having runtime allocation support for gigantic pages was a better solution. This patch (of 5): This function is going to be used by non-init code in a future commit.

Seems we all agree that information about SECTION, e.g. section size, sections per memory block should be kept as kernel internals, and not exposed to userspace. This patch updates Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt to refer to memory blocks instead of memory sections where appropriate and added a paragraph to explain that memory blocks are made of memory sections. The documentation update is mostly provided by Nathan. Also, as end_phys_index in code is actually not the end section id, but the end memory block id, which should always be the same as phys_index. So it is removed here.

I recently added a patch to let folks pass a "reason" string dump_page() which gets dumped out along with the page's data. This essentially saves the bug-reader a trip in to the source to figure out why we BUG_ON()'d. The new VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() passes in NULL for "reason". It seems like we might as well pass the BUG_ON() condition if we have it.

Per-memcg swappiness and oom killing can currently not be tweaked on a memcg that is part of a hierarchy, but not the root of that hierarchy. Users have complained that they can't configure this when they turned on hierarchy mode. In fact, with hierarchy mode becoming the default, this restriction disables the tunables entirely. But there is no good reason for this restriction. The settings for swappiness and OOM killing are taken from whatever memcg whose limit triggered reclaim and OOM invocation, regardless of its position in the hierarchy tree. Allow setting swappiness on any group. The knob on the root memcg already reads the global VM swappiness, make it writable as well. Allow disabling the OOM killer on any non-root memcg.

The DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator support on x86 is disabled when swiotlb config option is enabled. So DMA CMA is always disabled on x86_64 because swiotlb is always enabled. This attempts to support for DMA CMA with enabling swiotlb config option. The contiguous memory allocator on x86 is integrated in the function dma_generic_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in nommu_dma_ops for dma_alloc_coherent(). x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in swiotlb_dma_ops tries to allocate with dma_generic_alloc_coherent() firstly and then swiotlb_alloc_coherent() is called as a fallback. The main part of supporting DMA CMA with swiotlb is that changing x86_swiotlb_free_coherent() which is .free callback in swiotlb_dma_ops for dma_free_coherent() so that it can distinguish memory allocated by dma_generic_alloc_coherent() from one allocated by swiotlb_alloc_coherent() and release it with dma_generic_free_coherent() which can handle contiguous memory. This change requires making is_swiotlb_buffer() global function. This also needs to change .free callback in the dma_map_ops for amd_gart and sta2x11, because these dma_ops are also using dma_generic_alloc_coherent().

This patchset enhances the DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator on x86. Currently the DMA CMA is only supported with pci-nommu dma_map_ops and furthermore it can't be enabled on x86_64. But I would like to allocate big contiguous memory with dma_alloc_coherent() and tell it to the device that requires it, regardless of which dma mapping implementation is actually used in the system. So this makes it work with swiotlb and intel-iommu dma_map_ops, too. And this also extends "cma=" kernel parameter to specify placement constraint by the physical address range of memory allocations. For example, CMA allocates memory below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G", it is required for the devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems without iommu. This patch (of 5): Calling dma_alloc_coherent() with __GFP_ZERO must return zeroed memory. But when the contiguous memory allocator (CMA) is enabled on x86 and the memory region is allocated by dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), it doesn't return zeroed memory. Because dma_generic_alloc_coherent() forgot to fill the memory region with zero if it was allocated by dma_alloc_from_contiguous() Most implementations of dma_alloc_coherent() return zeroed memory regardless of whether __GFP_ZERO is specified. So this fixes it by unconditionally zeroing the allocated memory region. Alternatively, we could fix dma_alloc_from_contiguous() to return zeroed out memory and remove memset() from all caller of it. But we can't simply remove the memset on arm because __dma_clear_buffer() is used there for ensuring cache flushing and it is used in many places. Of course we can do redundant memset in dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), but I think this patch is less impact for fixing this problem.

Prior to this change, we would decide whether to force scan a LRU during reclaim if that LRU itself was too small for the current priority. However, this can lead to the file LRU getting force scanned even if there are a lot of anonymous pages we can reclaim, leading to hot file pages getting needlessly reclaimed. To address this, we instead only force scan when none of the reclaimable LRUs are big enough. Gives huge improvements with zswap. For example, when doing -j20 kernel build in a 500MB container with zswap enabled, runtime (in seconds) is greatly reduced: x without this change + with this change N Min Max Median Avg Stddev x 5 700.997 790.076 763.928 754.05 39.59493 + 5 141.634 197.899 155.706 161.9 21.270224 Difference at 95.0% confidence -592.15 +/- 46.3521 -78.5293% +/- 6.14709% (Student's t, pooled s = 31.7819) Should also give some improvements in regular (non-zswap) swap cases.

Hugh reported: | I noticed your soft_dirty work in install_file_pte(): which looked | good at first, until I realized that it's propagating the soft_dirty | of a pte it's about to zap completely, to the unrelated entry it's | about to insert in its place. Which seems very odd to me. Indeed this code ends up being nop in result -- pte_file_mksoft_dirty() operates with pte_t argument and returns new pte_t which were never used after. After looking more I think what we need is to soft-dirtify all newely remapped file pages because it should look like a new mapping for memory tracker.

Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g. threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg. The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of the current memory cgroup.

We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with __GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there. All kmem charges will be easier to follow that way. This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG. It removes __GFP_KMEMCG from memcg caches' allocflags. Instead it makes slab allocation path call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's memcg params. This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to. That's why this patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

There used to be only one path out of __slab_alloc(), and ALLOC_SLOWPATH got bumped in that exit path. Now there are two, and a bunch of gotos. ALLOC_SLOWPATH can now get set more than once during a single call to __slab_alloc() which is pretty bogus. Here's the sequence: 1. Enter __slab_alloc(), fall through all the way to the stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH); 2. hit 'if (!freelist)', and bump DEACTIVATE_BYPASS, jump to new_slab (goto #1) 3. Hit 'if (c->partial)', bump CPU_PARTIAL_ALLOC, goto redo (goto #2) 4. Fall through in the same path we did before all the way to stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH) 5. bump ALLOC_REFILL stat, then return Doing this is obviously bogus. It keeps us from being able to accurately compare ALLOC_SLOWPATH vs. ALLOC_FASTPATH. It also means that the total number of allocs always exceeds the total number of frees. This patch moves stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH) to be called from the same place that __slab_alloc() is. This makes it much less likely that ALLOC_SLOWPATH will get botched again in the spaghetti-code inside __slab_alloc().

When the slab or slub allocators cannot allocate additional slab pages, they emit diagnostic information to the kernel log such as current number of slabs, number of objects, active objects, etc. This is always coupled with a page allocation failure warning since it is controlled by !__GFP_NOWARN. Suppress this out of memory warning if the allocator is configured without debug supported. The page allocation failure warning will indicate it is a failed slab allocation, the order, and the gfp mask, so this is only useful to diagnose allocator issues. Since CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is already enabled by default for the slub allocator, there is no functional change with this patch. If debug is disabled, however, the warnings are now suppressed.

On system with 2TiB ram, current x86_64 have 128M as section size, and one memory_block only include one section. So will have 16400 entries under /sys/devices/system/memory/. Current code try to use block id to find block pointer in /sys for any section, and reuse that block pointer. that finding will take some time even after commit 7c243c71 ("mm: speedup in __early_pfn_to_nid") that will skip the search in that case during booting up. So solution could be increase block size just like SGI UV system did. (harded code to 2g). This patch is trying to probe the block size to make it match mmio remap size. for example, Intel Nehalem later system will have memory range [0, TOML), [4g, TOMH]. If the memory hole is 2g and total is 128g, TOM will be 2g, and TOM2 will be 130g. We could use 2g as block size instead of default 128M. That will reduce number of entries in /sys/devices/system/memory/ On system 6TiB system will reduce boot time by 35 seconds.

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting faults on x86. Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults and prot_none faults. This decision was x86-specific and conceptually it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE and NUMA ptes based on context. Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will be trapped. Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset. This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.
