NR_FREE_PAGES will be wrong after offlining pages. We add/dec NR_FREE_PAGES like this now: 1. move all pages in buddy system to MIGRATE_ISOLATE, and dec NR_FREE_PAGES 2. don't add NR_FREE_PAGES when it is freed and the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE 3. dec NR_FREE_PAGES when offlining isolated pages. 4. add NR_FREE_PAGES when undoing isolate pages. When we come to step 3, all pages are in MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, and NR_FREE_PAGES are right. When we come to step4, all pages are not in buddy system, so we don't change NR_FREE_PAGES in this step, but we change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. So NR_FREE_PAGES is wrong after offlining pages. So there is no need to change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. This patch also fixs a problem in step2: if the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE, we should not add NR_FRR_PAGES when we remove pages from pcppages.

When a memory block is onlined, we will try allocate memory on that node to store page_cgroup. If onlining the memory block failed, we don't offline the page cgroup, and we have no chance to offline this page cgroup unless the memory block is onlined successfully again. It will cause that we can't hot-remove the memory device on that node, because some memory is used to store page cgroup. If onlining the memory block is failed, there is no need to stort page cgroup for this memory. So auto offline page_cgroup when onlining memory block failed.

dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag, regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly, on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or later trigger the following error: "ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small! Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!". Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always served from the special, very limited memory pool. This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided by the dmapool caller.

This reverts commits a5091539 and d7c3b937. This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the original commits in linux-next. It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do. When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim, and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want to do that too. So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;) Acked-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Acked-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This reverts commit 782fd304. We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again. Making this commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag. The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations (because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure, including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of __GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD") was simply bogus.

commit c702418f ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing, which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim. This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion status when their watermarks have been restored. Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely. The preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if the zone is considered balanced.

This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable. Commit 00442ad0 ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired. This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page(). Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() - those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad0, alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's memory that is considered balanced. This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger zones in the node had plenty of free memory. Arguably, the same should apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that might never get in shape. When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least 25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced). Remove the individual zone checks that restart the kswapd cycle. Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

Commit 0bf380bc ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned. Since commit c89511ab ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem. This patch makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary. In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this: reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap. Size and alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for SPARSEMEM on x86. It needs a "lucky" machine.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory) kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60 _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60 put_super+0x31/0x40 drop_super+0x22/0x30 prune_super+0x149/0x1b0 shrink_slab+0xba/0x510 The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For !THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up. For THP allocations, kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct reclaim/compaction.

Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced zone. Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the allocation. This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the compaction requirement. Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory. Then use it uniformly to check for balanced zones. This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

Commit 5515061d ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making forward progress and can effectively deadlock. This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process exit quickly. If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate for 3.6.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory) kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60 _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60 put_super+0x31/0x40 drop_super+0x22/0x30 prune_super+0x149/0x1b0 shrink_slab+0xba/0x510 The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

There have been some 3.7-rc reports of vm issues, including some kswapd bugs and, more importantly, some memory "leaks": http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg46187.html https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50181 Commit 1fb3f8ca ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available") took split_free_page() and reused it for the compaction code. It does something curious with capture_free_page() (previously known as split_free_page()): int capture_free_page(struct page *page, int alloc_order, ... __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, -(1UL << order)); - /* Split into individual pages */ - set_page_refcounted(page); - split_page(page, order); + if (alloc_order != order) + expand(zone, page, alloc_order, order, + &zone->free_area[order], migratetype); Note that expand() puts the pages _back_ in the allocator, but it does not bump NR_FREE_PAGES. We "return" 'alloc_order' worth of pages, but we accounted for removing 'order' in the __mod_zone_page_state() call. For the old split_page()-style use (order==alloc_order) the bug will not trigger. But, when called from the compaction code where we occasionally get a larger page out of the buddy allocator than we need, we will run in to this. This patch simply changes the NR_FREE_PAGES manipulation to the correct 'alloc_order' instead of 'order'. I've been able to repeatedly trigger this in my testing environment. The amount "leaked" very closely tracks the imbalance I see in buddy pages vs. NR_FREE_PAGES. I have confirmed that this patch fixes the imbalance Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Revert commit 7f1290f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages") That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages, but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero. Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular race between swapout and eviction. It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(), and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting the BUG. One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether, but previous attempts at that failed. So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.

kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address of an arbitrary mapping. This works by checking whether the address falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the linear mapping if appropriate. Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page. This patch fixes the bound check to stay within the pkmap tables.

Jiri Slaby reported the following: (It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".) Given kswapd had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the morning and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h, I would say, it's gone. The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of lumpy reclaim. Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane compromise. When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim. However, since commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up each time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when the patch was developed. Attempts to address the problem ended up just changing the shape of the problem instead of fixing it. The release window gets closer and while a THP allocation failing is not a major problem, kswapd chewing up a lot of CPU is. This patch reverts commit 83fde0f2 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures") and will be revisited in the future.

When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option), when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.) But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60 IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60 Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0) Call Trace: __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xb1/0x100 __pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30 lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130 lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40 ... The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone. So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases. Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason, mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec. Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better proofed against future changes this way. I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5 (now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no answer when I enquired twice before.

oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004f ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might be selected as result. The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and not considering swap at all in such a case.
