      ksm: remove old stable nodes more thoroughly · cbf86cfe
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Switching merge_across_nodes after running KSM is liable to oops on stale
nodes still left over from the previous stable tree.  It's not something
that people will often want to do, but it would be lame to demand a reboot
when they're trying to determine which merge_across_nodes setting is best.

How can this happen?  We only permit switching merge_across_nodes when
pages_shared is 0, and usually set run 2 to force that beforehand, which
ought to unmerge everything: yet oopses still occur when you then run 1.

Three causes:

1. The old stable tree (built according to the inverse
   merge_across_nodes) has not been fully torn down.  A stable node
   lingers until get_ksm_page() notices that the page it references no
   longer references it: but the page is not necessarily freed as soon as
   expected, particularly when swapcache.

   Fix this with a pass through the old stable tree, applying
   get_ksm_page() to each of the remaining nodes (most found stale and
   removed immediately), with forced removal of any left over.  Unless the
   page is still mapped: I've not seen that case, it shouldn't occur, but
   better to WARN_ON_ONCE and EBUSY than BUG.

2. __ksm_enter() has a nice little optimization, to insert the new mm
   just behind ksmd's cursor, so there's a full pass for it to stabilize
   (or be removed) before ksmd addresses it.  Nice when ksmd is running,
   but not so nice when we're trying to unmerge all mms: we were missing
   those mms forked and inserted behind the unmerge cursor.  Easily fixed
   by inserting at the end when KSM_RUN_UNMERGE.

3.  It is possible for a KSM page to be faulted back from swapcache
   into an mm, just after unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() scanned past
   it.  Fix this by copying on fault when KSM_RUN_UNMERGE: but that is
   private to ksm.c, so dissolve the distinction between
   ksm_might_need_to_copy() and ksm_does_need_to_copy(), doing it all in
   the one call into ksm.c.

A long outstanding, unrelated bugfix sneaks in with that third fix:
ksm_does_need_to_copy() would copy from a !PageUptodate page (implying I/O
error when read in from swap) to a page which it then marks Uptodate.  Fix
this case by not copying, letting do_swap_page() discover the error.

      page->_last_nid fits into page->flags on 64-bit.  The unlikely 32-bit
NUMA configuration with NUMA Balancing will still need an extra page
field.  As Peter notes "Completely dropping 32bit support for
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING would simplify things, but it would also remove
the warning if we grow enough 64bit only page-flags to push the last-cpu
out."

      mm: directly use __mlock_vma_pages_range() in find_extend_vma() · cea10a19
      由 Michel Lespinasse 提交于 
      In find_extend_vma(), we don't need mlock_vma_pages_range() to verify
the vma type - we know we're working with a stack.  So, we can call
directly into __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and remove the last
make_pages_present() call site.

Note that we don't use mm_populate() here, so we can't release the
mmap_sem while allocating new stack pages.  This is deemed acceptable,
because the stack vmas grow by a bounded number of pages at a time, and
these are anon pages so we don't have to read from disk to populate
them.

      mm: reduce rmap overhead for ex-KSM page copies created on swap faults · af34770e
      由 Johannes Weiner 提交于 
      When ex-KSM pages are faulted from swap cache, the fault handler is not
capable of re-establishing anon_vma-spanning KSM pages.  In this case, a
copy of the page is created instead, just like during a COW break.

These freshly made copies are known to be exclusive to the faulting VMA
and there is no reason to go look for this page in parent and sibling
processes during rmap operations.

Use page_add_new_anon_rmap() for these copies.  This also puts them on
the proper LRU lists and marks them SwapBacked, so we can get rid of
doing this ad-hoc in the KSM copy code.

    • M
      mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT · 53a59fc6
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      Since commit e303297e ("mm: extended batches for generic
mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either
tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done.

This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with
non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY)
on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft
lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no
scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the
freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup.

The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on
softlockup which is not that unusual.

The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum
number of batches in a single mmu_gather.  10k of collected pages should
be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if
they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point.

This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it
relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls
cond_resched per PMD.

The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge
process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details).

    • M
      mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate · b8593bfd
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of
system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement.  Ideally a proper policy
would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the
PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information
to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not.

This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a
NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is
now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset
the scanner in case of phase changes.

This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will
converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able
to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have
no need for automatic balancing.

      mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault · 9532fec1
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      To say that the PMD handling code was incorrectly transferred from autonuma
is an understatement. The intention was to handle a PMDs worth of pages
in the same fault and effectively batch the taking of the PTL and page
migration. The copied version instead has the impact of clearing a number
of pte_numa PTE entries and whether any page migration takes place depends
on racing. This just happens to work in some cases.

This patch handles pte_numa faults in batch when a pmd_numa fault is
handled. The pages are migrated if they are currently misplaced.
Essentially this is making an assumption that NUMA locality is
on a PMD boundary but that could be addressed by only setting
pmd_numa if all the pages within that PMD are on the same node
if necessary.

      mm: numa: Add pte updates, hinting and migration stats · 03c5a6e1
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA placement in a
meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part
of a basic costing model.

u    = basic unit = sizeof(void *)
Ca   = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca
Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock)
	where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock
	is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a
	lock
Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000
Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u
Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi
	where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost
	of the locking operation
Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma)
	where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2
	would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive

Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates +
		Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults +
		Ci * numa_pages_migrated +
		Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated

Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages
were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A
vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is
pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill.

The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count
the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like

	benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma

but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the
expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0.

	convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults
		where this is measured for the last N number of
		numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully
		converged the value is 1.

This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is
doing it.

In order to facilitate a lazy -- fault driven -- migration of pages, create
a special transient PAGE_NUMA variant, we can then use the 'spurious'
protection faults to drive our migrations from.

The meaning of PAGE_NUMA depends on the architecture but on x86 it is
effectively PROT_NONE. Actual PROT_NONE mappings will not generate these
NUMA faults for the reason that the page fault code checks the permission on
the VMA (and will throw a segmentation fault on actual PROT_NONE mappings),
before it ever calls handle_mm_fault.

      mm: Check if PTE is already allocated during page fault · 4fd01770
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map
as pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map()
is called once it is known the PMD is safe.

pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.
Thi useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which
is visible in page_test from aim9.

This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table
lock. The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

      mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock · b676b293
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
moving it to the unevictable lru.

This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
range again.  Currently:

	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */

	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
		Inactive(anon):     6304 kB
		Unevictable:     4213924 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4186252 kB
		Unevictable:       19652 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198556 kB
		Unevictable:       21684 kB

Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment.  If
posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
all on the second mlock().

The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
page is added to the unevictable list.  With this patch:

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

      mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end · 6bdb913f
      由 Haggai Eran 提交于 
      In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we
need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock.  In addition to its direct
calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a change_pte
call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte.

This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead
wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and
invalidate_range_end calls.

Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients
implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of
outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise
they might miss a later invalidation.

      mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock · 2ec74c3e
      由 Sagi Grimberg 提交于 
      In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock.  This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.

To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:

	unsigned long mmun_start;	/* For mmu_notifiers */
	unsigned long mmun_end;	/* For mmu_notifiers */

	...

	mmun_start = ...
	mmun_end = ...
	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

	...

	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.

This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.

Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?

  Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
  and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
  virtual addresses directly to HW.  Until now, this was achieved by
  pinning the memory during the registration calls.  The goal of on demand
  paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
   This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
  other part of their processes address spaces.  Instead of requiring the
  entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
  and only fit the current working set in physical memory.

Why should anyone care?  What problems are users currently experiencing?

  This can make programming with RDMA much simpler.  Today, developers
  that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
  deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
  life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it.  On demand
  paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
  beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
  which pages needs to be fetched at a given time.  In the future, we
  might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
  that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
  region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
  all.

Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes?  If so, which and how, etc?

  As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
  MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
  http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
  perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.

  Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
  hardware with the secondary page tables change.  A TLB flush of an IO
  device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
  sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
  interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.

Avi said:

  kvm may be a buyer.  kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
  faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
  It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
  mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.

  (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
  generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
  is doing up there).

      mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap() · e6c509f8
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as
mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that
truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
mishandled:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	char *map;
	int fd;

	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
	fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
	unlink("chigurh");
	ftruncate(fd, 4096);
	map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
	map[0] = 11;
	mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
	ftruncate(fd, 0);
	close(fd);
	munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
	munmap(map, 4096);
	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
	return 0;
}

The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
look out for them there in page_remove_rmap().  Indeed, why should
truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
from pagecache?  mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

      mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree · 6b2dbba8
      由 Michel Lespinasse 提交于 
      Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree.  The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA.  So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.

Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      由 Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于 
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      由 Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于 
      Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP.  VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.

Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
VM_PFNMAP.  If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
expects page-faults.

This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
do_wp_page() can handle this.

vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage.  Usually it is called
from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
change vma->vm_flags.  Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault
handler.

      x86, pat: separate the pfn attribute tracking for remap_pfn_range and vm_insert_pfn · 5180da41
      由 Suresh Siddha 提交于 
      With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
attribute and uses it.  Expectation is that the driver reserves the
memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().

remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
with a desired memory attribute.  For ranges smaller than the vma size
(which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
existing memory attribute for the pfn range.

Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().

This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
the 'vma'.

      If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page
table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and
others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to
get corrupted.  Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and
output a message to the kernel log.  The final teardown will trigger a
BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c.

This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time

The bug is a race and not always easy to reproduce.  To reproduce it I was
doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM.

$ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
$ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done

On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but
enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits.
Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be
rebooted.  The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps
aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON.  shutdown will also hang and needs a
hard reset or a sysrq-b.

The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown.  For
the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex.  In some cases,
it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with
shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important.

Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following
situation

Process A					Process B
---------					---------
hugetlb_fault					shmdt
  						LockWrite(mmap_sem)
    						  do_munmap
						    unmap_region
						      unmap_vmas
						        unmap_single_vma
						          unmap_hugepage_range
      						            Lock(i_mmap_mutex)
							    Lock(mm->page_table_lock)
							    huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1)
							    Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)
      						            Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)
  huge_pte_alloc				      ...
    Lock(i_mmap_mutex)				      ...
    vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte		      ...
    Lock(mm->page_table_lock)			      ...
    share spte					      ...
    Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)			      ...
    Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)			      ...
  hugetlb_no_page									  <--- (2)
						      free_pgtables
						        unlink_file_vma
							hugetlb_free_pgd_range
						    remove_vma_list

In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with
Process B that is trying to tear them down.  The i_mmap_mutex on its own
does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables.  At (1) above,
the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs.  Process A sets
up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry.  Process B then trips
up on it in free_pgtables.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function
__unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to
be destroyed.  This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during
unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex.  This makes the VMA
ineligible for sharing and avoids the race.  Superficially this looks like
it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs
has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and
does not support madvise(DONTNEED).

This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged.

Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal
Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug.
