mm, fault_around: do not take a reference to a locked page
filemap_map_pages takes a speculative reference to each page in the range before it tries to lock that page. While this is correct it also can influence page migration which will bail out when seeing an elevated reference count. The faultaround code would bail on seeing a locked page so we can pro-actively check the PageLocked bit before page_cache_get_speculative and prevent from pointless reference count churn.

mm, memory_hotplug: deobfuscate migration part of offlining
Memory migration might fail during offlining and we keep retrying in that case. This is currently obfuscated by goto retry loop. The code is hard to follow and as a result it is even suboptimal becase each retry round scans the full range from start_pfn even though we have successfully scanned/migrated [start_pfn, pfn] range already. This is all only because check_pages_isolated failure has to rescan the full range again. De-obfuscate the migration retry loop by promoting it to a real for loop. In fact remove the goto altogether by making it a proper double loop (yeah, gotos are nasty in this specific case). In the end we will get a slightly more optimal code which is better readable.

mm, memory_hotplug: try to migrate full pfn range
Patch series "few memory offlining enhancements". I have been chasing memory offlining not making progress recently. On the way I have noticed few weird decisions in the code. The migration itself is restricted without a reasonable justification and the retry loop around the migration is quite messy. This is addressed by patch 1 and patch 2. Patch 3 is targeting on the faultaround code which has been a hot candidate for the initial issue reported upstream [2] and that I am debugging internally. It turned out to be not the main contributor in the end but I believe we should address it regardless. See the patch description for more details. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181120134323.13007-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181114070909.GB2653@MiWiFi-R3L-srv This patch (of 3): do_migrate_range has been limiting the number of pages to migrate to 256 for some reason which is not documented. Even if the limit made some sense back then when it was introduced it doesn't really serve a good purpose these days. If the range contains huge pages then we break out of the loop too early and go through LRU and pcp caches draining and scan_movable_pages is quite suboptimal. The only reason to limit the number of pages I can think of is to reduce the potential time to react on the fatal signal. But even then the number of pages is a questionable metric because even a single page migration might block in a non-killable state (e.g. __unmap_and_move). Remove the limit and offline the full requested range (this is one memblock worth of pages with the current code). Should we ever get a report that offlining takes too long to react on fatal signal then we should rather fix the core migration to use killable waits and bailout on a signal.

mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each vma
Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory range is eligible for THP. There are usecases that would like to know that http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com : This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp : but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation : issue. The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp. nh flags and confronting the state with the global setting. Except that there is also PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture. So the final logic is not trivial. Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of VMA as well. In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration knob. Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in /proc/<pid>/smaps for each existing vma. Reuse transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose. The original implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into __transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers. __show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of line due to include dependency issues).

mm/mmu_notifier: use structure for invalidate_range_start/end callback
Patch series "mmu notifier contextual informations", v2. This patchset adds contextual information, why an invalidation is happening, to mmu notifier callback. This is necessary for user of mmu notifier that wish to maintains their own data structure without having to add new fields to struct vm_area_struct (vma). For instance device can have they own page table that mirror the process address space. When a vma is unmap (munmap() syscall) the device driver can free the device page table for the range. Today we do not have any information on why a mmu notifier call back is happening and thus device driver have to assume that it is always an munmap(). This is inefficient at it means that it needs to re-allocate device page table on next page fault and rebuild the whole device driver data structure for the range. Other use case beside munmap() also exist, for instance it is pointless for device driver to invalidate the device page table when the invalidation is for the soft dirtyness tracking. Or device driver can optimize away mprotect() that change the page table permission access for the range. This patchset enables all this optimizations for device drivers. I do not include any of those in this series but another patchset I am posting will leverage this. The patchset is pretty simple from a code point of view. The first two patches consolidate all mmu notifier arguments into a struct so that it is easier to add/change arguments. The last patch adds the contextual information (munmap, protection, soft dirty, clear, ...). This patch (of 3): To avoid having to change many callback definition everytime we want to add a parameter use a structure to group all parameters for the mmu_notifier invalidate_range_start/end callback. No functional changes with this patch.

hwpoison, memory_hotplug: allow hwpoisoned pages to be offlined
We have received a bug report that an injected MCE about faulty memory prevents memory offline to succeed on 4.4 base kernel. The underlying reason was that the HWPoison page has an elevated reference count and the migration keeps failing. There are two problems with that. First of all it is dubious to migrate the poisoned page because we know that accessing that memory is possible to fail. Secondly it doesn't make any sense to migrate a potentially broken content and preserve the memory corruption over to a new location. Oscar has found out that 4.4 and the current upstream kernels behave slightly differently with his simply testcase === int main(void) { int ret; int i; int fd; char *array = malloc(4096); char *array_locked = malloc(4096); fd = open("/tmp/data", O_RDONLY); read(fd, array, 4095); for (i = 0; i < 4096; i++) array_locked[i] = 'd'; ret = mlock((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), sizeof(array_locked)); if (ret) perror("mlock"); sleep (20); ret = madvise((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), 4096, MADV_HWPOISON); if (ret) perror("madvise"); for (i = 0; i < 4096; i++) array_locked[i] = 'd'; return 0; } === + offline this memory. In 4.4 kernels he saw the hwpoisoned page to be returned back to the LRU list kernel: [<ffffffff81019ac9>] dump_trace+0x59/0x340 kernel: [<ffffffff81019e9a>] show_stack_log_lvl+0xea/0x170 kernel: [<ffffffff8101ac71>] show_stack+0x21/0x40 kernel: [<ffffffff8132bb90>] dump_stack+0x5c/0x7c kernel: [<ffffffff810815a1>] warn_slowpath_common+0x81/0xb0 kernel: [<ffffffff811a275c>] __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0x14c/0x160 kernel: [<ffffffff811a2eed>] pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xad/0x100 kernel: [<ffffffff811a334c>] __lru_cache_add+0x6c/0xb0 kernel: [<ffffffff81195236>] add_to_page_cache_lru+0x46/0x70 kernel: [<ffffffffa02b4373>] extent_readpages+0xc3/0x1a0 [btrfs] kernel: [<ffffffff811a16d7>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x177/0x200 kernel: [<ffffffff811a18c8>] ondemand_readahead+0x168/0x2a0 kernel: [<ffffffff8119673f>] generic_file_read_iter+0x41f/0x660 kernel: [<ffffffff8120e50d>] __vfs_read+0xcd/0x140 kernel: [<ffffffff8120e9ea>] vfs_read+0x7a/0x120 kernel: [<ffffffff8121404b>] kernel_read+0x3b/0x50 kernel: [<ffffffff81215c80>] do_execveat_common.isra.29+0x490/0x6f0 kernel: [<ffffffff81215f08>] do_execve+0x28/0x30 kernel: [<ffffffff81095ddb>] call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0xfb/0x130 kernel: [<ffffffff8161c045>] ret_from_fork+0x55/0x80 And that latter confuses the hotremove path because an LRU page is attempted to be migrated and that fails due to an elevated reference count. It is quite possible that the reuse of the HWPoisoned page is some kind of fixed race condition but I am not really sure about that. With the upstream kernel the failure is slightly different. The page doesn't seem to have LRU bit set but isolate_movable_page simply fails and do_migrate_range simply puts all the isolated pages back to LRU and therefore no progress is made and scan_movable_pages finds same set of pages over and over again. Fix both cases by explicitly checking HWPoisoned pages before we even try to get reference on the page, try to unmap it if it is still mapped. As explained by Naoya: : Hwpoison code never unmapped those for no big reason because : Ksm pages never dominate memory, so we simply didn't have strong : motivation to save the pages. Also put WARN_ON(PageLRU) in case there is a race and we can hit LRU HWPoison pages which shouldn't happen but I couldn't convince myself about that. Naoya has noted the following: : Theoretically no such gurantee, because try_to_unmap() doesn't have a : guarantee of success and then memory_failure() returns immediately : when hwpoison_user_mappings fails. : Or the following code (comes after hwpoison_user_mappings block) also impli= : es : that the target page can still have PageLRU flag. : : /* : * Torn down by someone else? : */ : if (PageLRU(p) && !PageSwapCache(p) && p->mapping =3D=3D NULL) { : action_result(pfn, MF_MSG_TRUNCATED_LRU, MF_IGNORED); : res =3D -EBUSY; : goto out; : } : : So I think it's OK to keep "if (WARN_ON(PageLRU(page)))" block in : current version of your patch.

mm, kmemleak: little optimization while scanning
kmemleak_scan() goes through all online nodes and tries to scan all used pages. We can do better and use pfn_to_online_page(), so in case we have CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, offlined pages will be skiped automatically. For boxes where CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not present, pfn_to_online_page() will fallback to pfn_valid(). Another little optimization is to check if the page belongs to the node we are currently checking, so in case we have nodes interleaved we will not check the same pfn multiple times. I ran some tests: Add some memory to node1 and node2 making it interleaved: (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=ram0,node=1 (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram1,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=ram1,node=2 (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram2,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm2,memdev=ram2,node=1 Then, we offline that memory: # for i in {32..39} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory$i/state;done # for i in {48..55} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory$i/state;don # for i in {40..47} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/memory$i/state;done And we run kmemleak_scan: # echo "scan" > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak before the patch: kmemleak: time spend: 41596 us after the patch: kmemleak: time spend: 34899 us [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove stray newline, per Oscar] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181206131918.25099-1-osalvador@suse.de Signed-off-by: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm/page-writeback.c: don't break integrity writeback on ->writepage() error
write_cache_pages() is used in both background and integrity writeback scenarios by various filesystems. Background writeback is mostly concerned with cleaning a certain number of dirty pages based on various mm heuristics. It may not write the full set of dirty pages or wait for I/O to complete. Integrity writeback is responsible for persisting a set of dirty pages before the writeback job completes. For example, an fsync() call must perform integrity writeback to ensure data is on disk before the call returns. write_cache_pages() unconditionally breaks out of its processing loop in the event of a ->writepage() error. This is fine for background writeback, which had no strict requirements and will eventually come around again. This can cause problems for integrity writeback on filesystems that might need to clean up state associated with failed page writeouts. For example, XFS performs internal delayed allocation accounting before returning a ->writepage() error, where applicable. If the current writeback happens to be associated with an unmount and write_cache_pages() completes the writeback prematurely due to error, the filesystem is unmounted in an inconsistent state if dirty+delalloc pages still exist. To handle this problem, update write_cache_pages() to always process the full set of pages for integrity writeback regardless of ->writepage() errors. Save the first encountered error and return it to the caller once complete. This facilitates XFS (or any other fs that expects integrity writeback to process the entire set of dirty pages) to clean up its internal state completely in the event of persistent mapping errors. Background writeback continues to exit on the first error encountered.

mm, hotplug: move init_currently_empty_zone() under zone_span_lock protection
During online_pages phase, pgdat->nr_zones will be updated in case this zone is empty. Currently the online_pages phase is protected by the global locks (device_device_hotplug_lock and mem_hotplug_lock), which ensures there is no contention during the update of nr_zones. These global locks introduces scalability issues (especially the second one), which slow down code relying on get_online_mems(). This is also a preparation for not having to rely on get_online_mems() but instead some more fine grained locks. The patch moves init_currently_empty_zone under both zone_span_writelock and pgdat_resize_lock because both the pgdat state is changed (nr_zones) and the zone's start_pfn. Also this patch changes the documentation of node_size_lock to include the protection of nr_zones.

mm, sparse: drop pgdat_resize_lock in sparse_add/remove_one_section()
pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect pgdat's memory region information like: node_start_pfn, node_present_pages, etc. While in function sparse_add/remove_one_section(), pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect initialization/release of one mem_section. This looks not proper. These code paths are currently protected by mem_hotplug_lock currently but should there ever be any reason for locking at the sparse layer a dedicated lock should be introduced.

mm/memblock.c: skip kmemleak for kasan_init()
Kmemleak does not play well with KASAN (tested on both HPE Apollo 70 and Huawei TaiShan 2280 aarch64 servers). After calling start_kernel()->setup_arch()->kasan_init(), kmemleak early log buffer went from something like 280 to 260000 which caused kmemleak disabled and crash dump memory reservation failed. The multitude of kmemleak_alloc() calls is from nested loops while KASAN is setting up full memory mappings, so let early kmemleak allocations skip those memblock_alloc_internal() calls came from kasan_init() given that those early KASAN memory mappings should not reference to other memory. Hence, no kmemleak false positives. kasan_init kasan_map_populate [1] kasan_pgd_populate [2] kasan_pud_populate [3] kasan_pmd_populate [4] kasan_pte_populate [5] kasan_alloc_zeroed_page memblock_alloc_try_nid memblock_alloc_internal kmemleak_alloc [1] for_each_memblock(memory, reg) [2] while (pgdp++, addr = next, addr != end) [3] while (pudp++, addr = next, addr != end && pud_none(READ_ONCE(*pudp))) [4] while (pmdp++, addr = next, addr != end && pmd_none(READ_ONCE(*pmdp))) [5] while (ptep++, addr = next, addr != end && pte_none(READ_ONCE(*ptep))) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1543442925-17794-1-git-send-email-cai@gmx.us Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@gmx.us> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm, memory_hotplug: add nid parameter to arch_remove_memory
Patch series "Do not touch pages in hot-remove path", v2. This patchset aims for two things: 1) A better definition about offline and hot-remove stage 2) Solving bugs where we can access non-initialized pages during hot-remove operations [2] [3]. This is achieved by moving all page/zone handling to the offline stage, so we do not need to access pages when hot-removing memory. [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10691415/ [2] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10547445/ [3] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg161316.html This patch (of 5): This is a preparation for the following-up patches. The idea of passing the nid is that it will allow us to get rid of the zone parameter afterwards.

mm: check nr_initialised with PAGES_PER_SECTION directly in defer_init()
When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is configured, only the first section of each node's highest zone is initialized before defer stage. static_init_pgcnt is used to store the number of pages like this: pgdat->static_init_pgcnt = min_t(unsigned long, PAGES_PER_SECTION, pgdat->node_spanned_pages); because we don't want to overflow zone's range. But this is not necessary, since defer_init() is called like this: memmap_init_zone() for pfn in [start_pfn, end_pfn) defer_init(pfn, end_pfn) In case (pgdat->node_spanned_pages < PAGES_PER_SECTION), the loop would stop before calling defer_init(). BTW, comparing PAGES_PER_SECTION with node_spanned_pages is not correct, since nr_initialised is zone based instead of node based. Even node_spanned_pages is bigger than PAGES_PER_SECTION, its highest zone would have pages less than PAGES_PER_SECTION.

mm: put_and_wait_on_page_locked() while page is migrated
Waiting on a page migration entry has used wait_on_page_locked() all along since 2006: but you cannot safely wait_on_page_locked() without holding a reference to the page, and that extra reference is enough to make migrate_page_move_mapping() fail with -EAGAIN, when a racing task faults on the entry before migrate_page_move_mapping() gets there. And that failure is retried nine times, amplifying the pain when trying to migrate a popular page. With a single persistent faulter, migration sometimes succeeds; with two or three concurrent faulters, success becomes much less likely (and the more the page was mapped, the worse the overhead of unmapping and remapping it on each try). This is especially a problem for memory offlining, where the outer level retries forever (or until terminated from userspace), because a heavy refault workload can trigger an endless loop of migration failures. wait_on_page_locked() is the wrong tool for the job. David Herrmann (but was he the first?) noticed this issue in 2014: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140110465608116&w=2 Tim Chen started a thread in August 2017 which appears relevant: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150275941014915&w=2 where Kan Liang went on to implicate __migration_entry_wait(): https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150300268411980&w=2 and the thread ended up with the v4.14 commits: |

mm, oom: add oom victim's memcg to the oom context information
The current oom report doesn't display victim's memcg context during the global OOM situation. While this information is not strictly needed, it can be really helpful for containerized environments to locate which container has lost a process. Now that we have a single line for the oom context, we can trivially add both the oom memcg (this can be either global_oom or a specific memcg which hits its hard limits) and task_memcg which is the victim's memcg. Below is the single line output in the oom report after this patch. - global oom context information: oom-kill:constraint=<constraint>,nodemask=<nodemask>,cpuset=<cpuset>,mems_allowed=<mems_allowed>,global_oom,task_memcg=<memcg>,task=<comm>,pid=<pid>,uid=<uid> - memcg oom context information: oom-kill:constraint=<constraint>,nodemask=<nodemask>,cpuset=<cpuset>,mems_allowed=<mems_allowed>,oom_memcg=<memcg>,task_memcg=<memcg>,task=<comm>,pid=<pid>,uid=<uid> [penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp: use pr_cont() in mem_cgroup_print_oom_context()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201812190723.wBJ7NdkN032628@www262.sakura.ne.jp Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542799799-36184-2-git-send-email-ufo19890607@gmail.com Signed-off-by: yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@didichuxing.com> Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A .

mm, oom: reorganize the oom report in dump_header
OOM report contains several sections. The first one is the allocation context that has triggered the OOM. Then we have cpuset context followed by the stack trace of the OOM path. The tird one is the OOM memory information. Followed by the current memory state of all system tasks. At last, we will show oom eligible tasks and the information about the chosen oom victim. One thing that makes parsing more awkward than necessary is that we do not have a single and easily parsable line about the oom context. This patch is reorganizing the oom report to 1) who invoked oom and what was the allocation request [ 515.902945] tuned invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 2) OOM stack trace [ 515.904273] CPU: 24 PID: 1809 Comm: tuned Not tainted 4.20.0-rc3+ #3 [ 515.905518] Hardware name: Inspur SA5212M4/YZMB-00370-107, BIOS 4.1.10 11/14/2016 [ 515.906821] Call Trace: [ 515.908062] dump_stack+0x5a/0x73 [ 515.909311] dump_header+0x55/0x28c [ 515.914260] oom_kill_process+0x2d8/0x300 [ 515.916708] out_of_memory+0x145/0x4a0 [ 515.917932] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x7d2/0xa16 [ 515.919157] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x277/0x290 [ 515.920367] filemap_fault+0x3d0/0x6c0 [ 515.921529] ? filemap_map_pages+0x2b8/0x420 [ 515.922709] ext4_filemap_fault+0x2c/0x40 [ext4] [ 515.923884] __do_fault+0x20/0x80 [ 515.925032] __handle_mm_fault+0xbc0/0xe80 [ 515.926195] handle_mm_fault+0xfa/0x210 [ 515.927357] __do_page_fault+0x233/0x4c0 [ 515.928506] do_page_fault+0x32/0x140 [ 515.929646] ? page_fault+0x8/0x30 [ 515.930770] page_fault+0x1e/0x30 3) OOM memory information [ 515.958093] Mem-Info: [ 515.959647] active_anon:26501758 inactive_anon:1179809 isolated_anon:0 active_file:4402672 inactive_file:483963 isolated_file:1344 unevictable:0 dirty:4886753 writeback:0 unstable:0 slab_reclaimable:148442 slab_unreclaimable:18741 mapped:1347 shmem:1347 pagetables:58669 bounce:0 free:88663 free_pcp:0 free_cma:0 ... 4) current memory state of all system tasks [ 516.079544] [ 744] 0 744 9211 1345 114688 82 0 systemd-journal [ 516.082034] [ 787] 0 787 31764 0 143360 92 0 lvmetad [ 516.084465] [ 792] 0 792 10930 1 110592 208 -1000 systemd-udevd [ 516.086865] [ 1199] 0 1199 13866 0 131072 112 -1000 auditd [ 516.089190] [ 1222] 0 1222 31990 1 110592 157 0 smartd [ 516.091477] [ 1225] 0 1225 4864 85 81920 43 0 irqbalance [ 516.093712] [ 1226] 0 1226 52612 0 258048 426 0 abrtd [ 516.112128] [ 1280] 0 1280 109774 55 299008 400 0 NetworkManager [ 516.113998] [ 1295] 0 1295 28817 37 69632 24 0 ksmtuned [ 516.144596] [ 10718] 0 10718 2622484 1721372 15998976 267219 0 panic [ 516.145792] [ 10719] 0 10719 2622484 1164767 9818112 53576 0 panic [ 516.146977] [ 10720] 0 10720 2622484 1174361 9904128 53709 0 panic [ 516.148163] [ 10721] 0 10721 2622484 1209070 10194944 54824 0 panic [ 516.149329] [ 10722] 0 10722 2622484 1745799 14774272 91138 0 panic 5) oom context (contrains and the chosen victim). oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1,task=panic,pid=10737,uid=0 An admin can easily get the full oom context at a single line which makes parsing much easier.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs
An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation
Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5.
It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka
anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse
workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order
allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition
of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series
that reduces the level of those fragmentation events.
The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more
detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level
summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the
mmtests implementation.
The broad details of the workload are as follows;
1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
as part of the testing for this patch)
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate
is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
pages get mixed
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files
created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further
interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
and what the fault latency was in microseconds
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup
Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94%
on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation
success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and
high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they
are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded
so they are treated as a secondary metric.
Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory
instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to
handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained
in the changelog.
Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation
event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory
and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system
slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level
of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance
for fragmentation vs allocation latency.
Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4
make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it
is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if
larger stalls can be tolerated.
The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches
1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option
of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for
some stalls to control fragmentation.
This patch (of 5):
The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each
zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0
may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is
that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though
ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the
allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local
zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of
pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast
path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view.
This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before
attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following
configurations
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage
e.g. from mmtests
./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1
The broad details of the workload are as follows;
1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
as part of the testing for this patch).
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate
is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
pages get mixed.
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files
created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further
interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
and what the fault latency was in microseconds.
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup the test files.
Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not
suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory
may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates
fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation.
Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is
used with high-order pages may yield different results.
When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than
a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an
"external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future.
Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation
events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation
latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences
in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of
external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric.

Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain
at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate
THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or
keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation
events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in
the future.
Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types
that are falling back.

The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is
consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented
again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations.
Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they
can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback
later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a
movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to
actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot
know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it.
Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent
throughout the series and will not be repeated.

mm/page_alloc.c: free order-0 pages through PCP in page_frag_free()
page_frag_free() calls __free_pages_ok() to free the page back to Buddy. This is OK for high order page, but for order-0 pages, it misses the optimization opportunity of using Per-Cpu-Pages and can cause zone lock contention when called frequently. Pawel Staszewski recently shared his result of 'how Linux kernel handles normal traffic'[1] and from perf data, Jesper Dangaard Brouer found the lock contention comes from page allocator: mlx5e_poll_tx_cq | --16.34%--napi_consume_skb | |--12.65%--__free_pages_ok | | | --11.86%--free_one_page | | | |--10.10%--queued_spin_lock_slowpath | | | --0.65%--_raw_spin_lock | |--1.55%--page_frag_free | --1.44%--skb_release_data Jesper explained how it happened: mlx5 driver RX-page recycle mechanism is not effective in this workload and pages have to go through the page allocator. The lock contention happens during mlx5 DMA TX completion cycle. And the page allocator cannot keep up at these speeds.[2] I thought that __free_pages_ok() are mostly freeing high order pages and thought this is an lock contention for high order pages but Jesper explained in detail that __free_pages_ok() here are actually freeing order-0 pages because mlx5 is using order-0 pages to satisfy its page pool allocation request.[3] The free path as pointed out by Jesper is: skb_free_head() -> skb_free_frag() -> page_frag_free() And the pages being freed on this path are order-0 pages. Fix this by doing similar things as in __page_frag_cache_drain() - send the being freed page to PCP if it's an order-0 page, or directly to Buddy if it is a high order page. With this change, Paweł hasn't noticed lock contention yet in his workload and Jesper has noticed a 7% performance improvement using a micro benchmark and lock contention is gone. Ilias' test on a 'low' speed 1Gbit interface on an cortex-a53 shows ~11% performance boost testing with 64byte packets and __free_pages_ok() disappeared from perf top.

mm, hmm: mark hmm_devmem_{add, add_resource} EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
At Maintainer Summit, Greg brought up a topic I proposed around EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL usage. The motivation was considerations for when EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is warranted and the criteria for taking the exceptional step of reclassifying an existing export. Specifically, I wanted to make the case that although the line is fuzzy and hard to specify in abstract terms, it is nonetheless clear that devm_memremap_pages() and HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management) have crossed it. The devm_memremap_pages() facility should have been EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the beginning, and HMM as a derivative of that functionality should have naturally picked up that designation as well. Contrary to typical rules, the HMM infrastructure was merged upstream with zero in-tree consumers. There was a promise at the time that those users would be merged "soon", but it has been over a year with no drivers arriving. While the Nouveau driver is about to belatedly make good on that promise it is clear that HMM was targeted first and foremost at an out-of-tree consumer. HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), a facility Christoph and I spearheaded to support persistent memory. It combines a device lifetime model with a dynamically created 'struct page' / memmap array for any physical address range. It enables coordination and control of the many code paths in the kernel built to interact with memory via 'struct page' objects. With HMM the integration goes even deeper by allowing device drivers to hook and manipulate page fault and page free events. One interpretation of when EXPORT_SYMBOL is suitable is when it is exporting stable and generic leaf functionality. The devm_memremap_pages() facility continues to see expanding use cases, peer-to-peer DMA being the most recent, with no clear end date when it will stop attracting reworks and semantic changes. It is not suitable to export devm_memremap_pages() as a stable 3rd party driver API due to the fact that it is still changing and manipulates core behavior. Moreover, it is not in the best interest of the long term development of the core memory management subsystem to permit any external driver to effectively define its own system-wide memory management policies with no encouragement to engage with upstream. I am also concerned that HMM was designed in a way to minimize further engagement with the core-MM. That, with these hooks in place, device-drivers are free to implement their own policies without much consideration for whether and how the core-MM could grow to meet that need. Going forward not only should HMM be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, but the core-MM should be allowed the opportunity and stimulus to change and address these new use cases as first class functionality. Original changelog: hmm_devmem_add(), and hmm_devmem_add_resource() duplicated devm_memremap_pages() and are now simple now wrappers around the core facility to inject a dev_pagemap instance into the global pgmap_radix and hook page-idle events. The devm_memremap_pages() interface is base infrastructure for HMM. HMM has more and deeper ties into the kernel memory management implementation than base ZONE_DEVICE which is itself a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL facility. Originally, the HMM page structure creation routines copied the devm_memremap_pages() code and reused ZONE_DEVICE. A cleanup to unify the implementations was discussed during the initial review: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.2/00812.html Recent work to extend devm_memremap_pages() for the peer-to-peer-DMA facility enabled this cleanup to move forward. In addition to the integration with devm_memremap_pages() HMM depends on other GPL-only symbols: mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release percpu_ref region_intersects __class_create It goes further to consume / indirectly expose functionality that is not exported to any other driver: alloc_pages_vma walk_page_range HMM is derived from devm_memremap_pages(), and extends deep core-kernel fundamentals. Similar to devm_memremap_pages(), mark its entry points EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

devm semantics arrange for resources to be torn down when device-driver-probe fails or when device-driver-release completes.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

mm: convert zone->managed_pages to atomic variable
totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it. Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a store tear. This patch converts zone->managed_pages. Subsequent patches will convert totalram_panges, totalhigh_pages and eventually managed_page_count_lock will be removed.

mm: reference totalram_pages and managed_pages once per function
Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed pages to atomic", v5. This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it. Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a store tear. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 It seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic. With the change, preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing comes as a bonus. This patch (of 4): This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. Please note that re-reading the value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to unexpected behavior. There are no known bugs as a result of the current code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.

mm, memory_hotplug: do not clear numa_node association after hot_remove
Per-cpu numa_node provides a default node for each possible cpu. The
association gets initialized during the boot when the architecture
specific code explores cpu->NUMA affinity. When the whole NUMA node is
removed though we are clearing this association
try_offline_node
check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node
unmap_cpu_on_node
numa_clear_node
numa_set_node(cpu, NUMA_NO_NODE)
This means that whoever calls cpu_to_node for a cpu associated with such a
node will get NUMA_NO_NODE. This is problematic for two reasons. First
it is fragile because __alloc_pages_node would simply blow up on an
out-of-bound access. We have encountered this when loading kvm module

DWARF2 unwinder stuck at entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1e/0xb7
on an older kernel but the code is basically the same in the current Linus
tree as well. alloc_vmcs_cpu could use alloc_pages_nodemask which would
recognize NUMA_NO_NODE and use alloc_pages_node which would translate it
to numa_mem_id but that is wrong as well because it would use a cpu
affinity of the local CPU which might be quite far from the original node.
It is also reasonable to expect that cpu_to_node will provide a sane
value and there might be many more callers like that.
The second problem is that __register_one_node relies on cpu_to_node to
properly associate cpus back to the node when it is onlined. We do not
want to lose that link as there is no arch independent way to get it from
the early boot time AFAICS.
Drop the whole check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node machinery and keep the
association to fix both issues. The NODE_DATA(nid) is not deallocated so
it will stay in place and if anybody wants to allocate from that node then
a fallback node will be used.
Thanks to Vlastimil Babka for his live system debugging skills that helped
debugging the issue.

mm/mmap.c: remove verify_mm_writelocked()
We should get rid of this function. It no longer serves its purpose. This is a historical artifact from 2005 where do_brk was called outside of the core mm. We do have a proper abstraction in vm_brk_flags and that one does the locking properly so there is no need to use this function.

The original idea behind dumping the page state for all call paths was that these messages will be helpful debugging failures. From the above it seems that this is not the case for the CMA path because we are lacking much more context. E.g the second reported page might be a CMA allocated page. It is still interesting to see a slab page in the CMA area but it is hard to tell whether this is bug from the above output alone. Address this issue by dumping the page state only on request. Both start_isolate_page_range and has_unmovable_pages already have an argument to ignore hwpoison pages so make this argument more generic and turn it into flags and allow callers to combine non-default modes into a mask. While we are at it, has_unmovable_pages call from is_pageblock_removable_nolock (sysfs removable file) is questionable to report the failure so drop it from there as well.

mm, memory_hotplug: be more verbose for memory offline failures
There is only very limited information printed when the memory offlining fails: [ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff This tells us that the failure is triggered by the userspace intervention but it doesn't tell us much more about the underlying reason. It might be that the page migration failes repeatedly and the userspace timeout expires and send a signal or it might be some of the earlier steps (isolation, memory notifier) takes too long. If the migration failes then it would be really helpful to see which page that and its state. The same applies to the isolation phase. If we fail to isolate a page from the allocator then knowing the state of the page would be helpful as well. Dump the page state that fails to get isolated or migrated. This will tell us more about the failure and what to focus on during debugging.

mm, memory_hotplug: print reason for the offlining failure
The memory offlining failure reporting is inconsistent and insufficient. Some error paths simply do not report the failure to the log at all. When we do report there are no details about the reason of the failure and there are several of them which makes memory offlining failures hard to debug. Make sure that the memory offlining [mem %#010llx-%#010llx] failed message is printed for all failures and also provide a short textual reason for the failure e.g. [ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff this tells us that the offlining has failed because of a signal pending aka user intervention.
