      nfs: enable swap on NFS · a564b8f0
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Implement the new swapfile a_ops for NFS and hook up ->direct_IO.  This
      will set the NFS socket to SOCK_MEMALLOC and run socket reconnect under
      PF_MEMALLOC as well as reset SOCK_MEMALLOC before engaging the protocol
      ->connect() method.
      
      PF_MEMALLOC should allow the allocation of struct socket and related
      objects and the early (re)setting of SOCK_MEMALLOC should allow us to
      receive the packets required for the TCP connection buildup.

      netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock · c76562b6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch series is based on top of "Swap-over-NBD without deadlocking
      v15" as it depends on the same reservation of PF_MEMALLOC reserves logic.
      
      When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
      create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
      with swapon.  In diskless systems this is not an option so if swap if
      required then swapping over the network is considered.  The two likely
      scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the
      form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin
      clients.
      
      The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block
      Device (NBD) for swap but this is not always an option.  There is no
      guarantee that the network attached storage (NAS) device is running Linux
      or supports NBD.  However, it is likely that it supports NFS so there are
      users that want support for swapping over NFS despite any performance
      concern.  Some distributions currently carry patches that support swapping
      over NFS but it would be preferable to support it in the mainline kernel.
      
      Patch 1 avoids a stream-specific deadlock that potentially affects TCP.
      
      Patch 2 is a small modification to SELinux to avoid using PFMEMALLOC
      	reserves.
      
      Patch 3 adds three helpers for filesystems to handle swap cache pages.
      	For example, page_file_mapping() returns page->mapping for
      	file-backed pages and the address_space of the underlying
      	swap file for swap cache pages.
      
      Patch 4 adds two address_space_operations to allow a filesystem
      	to pin all metadata relevant to a swapfile in memory. Upon
      	successful activation, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and
      	the address space operation ->direct_IO is used for writing
      	and ->readpage for reading in swap pages.
      
      Patch 5 notes that patch 3 is bolting
      	filesystem-specific-swapfile-support onto the side and that
      	the default handlers have different information to what
      	is available to the filesystem. This patch refactors the
      	code so that there are generic handlers for each of the new
      	address_space operations.
      
      Patch 6 adds an API to allow a vector of kernel addresses to be
      	translated to struct pages and pinned for IO.
      
      Patch 7 adds support for using highmem pages for swap by kmapping
      	the pages before calling the direct_IO handler.
      
      Patch 8 updates NFS to use the helpers from patch 3 where necessary.
      
      Patch 9 avoids setting PF_private on PG_swapcache pages within NFS.
      
      Patch 10 implements the new swapfile-related address_space operations
      	for NFS and teaches the direct IO handler how to manage
      	kernel addresses.
      
      Patch 11 prevents page allocator recursions in NFS by using GFP_NOIO
      	where appropriate.
      
      Patch 12 fixes a NULL pointer dereference that occurs when using
      	swap-over-NFS.
      
      With the patches applied, it is possible to mount a swapfile that is on an
      NFS filesystem.  Swap performance is not great with a swap stress test
      taking roughly twice as long to complete than if the swap device was
      backed by NBD.
      
      This patch: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock
      
      It could happen that all !SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets have buffered so much data
      that we're over the global rmem limit.  This will prevent SOCK_MEMALLOC
      buffers from receiving data, which will prevent userspace from running,
      which is needed to reduce the buffered data.
      
      Fix this by exempting the SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets from the rmem limit.  Once
      this change it applied, it is important that sockets that set
      SOCK_MEMALLOC do not clear the flag until the socket is being torn down.
      If this happens, a warning is generated and the tokens reclaimed to avoid
      accounting errors until the bug is fixed.

      netvm: set PF_MEMALLOC as appropriate during SKB processing · b4b9e355
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      In order to make sure pfmemalloc packets receive all memory needed to
      proceed, ensure processing of pfmemalloc SKBs happens under PF_MEMALLOC.
      This is limited to a subset of protocols that are expected to be used for
      writing to swap.  Taps are not allowed to use PF_MEMALLOC as these are
      expected to communicate with userspace processes which could be paged out.

      netvm: allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves · c93bdd0e
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall
      back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed.  SKBs allocated from the
      reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc.  If an SKB is allocated from the
      reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the
      packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim.
      Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

      netvm: allow the use of __GFP_MEMALLOC by specific sockets · 7cb02404
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Allow specific sockets to be tagged SOCK_MEMALLOC and use __GFP_MEMALLOC
      for their allocations.  These sockets will be able to go below watermarks
      and allocate from the emergency reserve.  Such sockets are to be used to
      service the VM (iow.  to swap over).  They must be handled kernel side,
      exposing such a socket to user-space is a bug.
      
      There is a risk that the reserves be depleted so for now, the
      administrator is responsible for increasing min_free_kbytes as necessary
      to prevent deadlock for their workloads.

      When a device is unregistered, we have to purge all of the

      If a route is uncached, we currently have no way of accomplishing
      this.

      ipv4: Restore old dst_free() behavior. · 54764bb6
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      commit 404e0a8b (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried
      to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time :
      
      We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets
      still have dst in their cache.
      dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.
      
      Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
      nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
      rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.
      
      Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
      call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)
      
      I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes
      to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in
      this code.
