9 years agotmpfs: avoid a little creat and stat slowdown
Hugh Dickins [Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:50:34 +0000 (18:50 -0800)]
tmpfs: avoid a little creat and stat slowdown

LKP reports that v4.2 commit afa2db2fb6f1 ("tmpfs: truncate prealloc
blocks past i_size") causes a 14.5% slowdown in the AIM9 creat-clo
benchmark.

creat-clo does just what you'd expect from the name, and creat's O_TRUNC
on 0-length file does indeed get into more overhead now shmem_setattr()
tests "0 <= 0" instead of "0 < 0".

I'm not sure how much we care, but I think it would not be too VW-like to
add in a check for whether any pages (or swap) are allocated: if none are
allocated, there's none to remove from the radix_tree.  At first I thought
that check would be good enough for the unmaps too, but no: we should not
skip the unlikely case of unmapping pages beyond the new EOF, which were
COWed from holes which have now been reclaimed, leaving none.

This gives me an 8.5% speedup: on Haswell instead of LKP's Westmere, and
running a debug config before and after: I hope those account for the
lesser speedup.

And probably someone has a benchmark where a thousand threads keep on
stat'ing the same file repeatedly: forestall that report by adjusting v4.3
commit 44a30220bc0a ("shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat") not to
take the spinlock in shmem_getattr() when there's no work to do.

9 years agomemcg: fix thresholds for 32b architectures.

memcg: fix thresholds for 32b architectures.

Commit 424cdc141380 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a
regression introduced by 3e32cb2e0a12 ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page
counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units
rather than bytes when interpreting the user input.

The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings
during stable backport review.  The page count is converted to bytes but
unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not
sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds.  The same applies
to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow.

Let's remove this bytes vs.  pages internal tracking differences and
handle thresholds in page units internally.  Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to
return the value in page units and revert 424cdc141380 because this should
be sufficient for the consistent handling.  mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the
only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is
converted to give the proper in bytes result.  It is doing that already
for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well.

The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

9 years agomm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available
Dave Hansen [Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:50:17 +0000 (18:50 -0800)]
mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available

I have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages
with 'nr_hugepages'.  They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let
the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time.

This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and
the pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they
specified.

The code in question is this:

> struct page *alloc_huge_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
...
>         page = dequeue_huge_page_vma(h, vma, addr, avoid_reserve, gbl_chg);
>         if (!page) {
>                 page = alloc_buddy_huge_page(h, NUMA_NO_NODE);

dequeue_huge_page_vma() is smart and will respect the VMA's memory policy.
 But, it only grabs _existing_ huge pages from the huge page pool.  If the
pool is empty, we fall back to alloc_buddy_huge_page() which obviously
can't do anything with the VMA's policy because it isn't even passed the
VMA.

Almost everybody preallocates huge pages.  That's probably why nobody has
ever noticed this.  Looking back at the git history, I don't think this
_ever_ worked from when alloc_buddy_huge_page() was introduced in
7893d1d5, 8 years ago.

The fix is to pass vma/addr down in to the places where we actually call
in to the buddy allocator.  It's fairly straightforward plumbing.  This
has been lightly tested.

mm: migrate dirty page without clear_page_dirty_for_io etc

clear_page_dirty_for_io() has accumulated writeback and memcg subtleties
since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty()
which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too.

No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into
what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually
achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag,
and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another.

It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and
incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of
the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which
radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway).

Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while
interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even
bother if the zone is the same.  Do the PageDirty movement there under
tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible:
bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an
un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just
not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional
reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe).

But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for
those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping().

except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move().

So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into
migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths.  Similarly
migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be

So any page blessed with swapcache would entail a minor fault when it's
next touched, which page migration otherwise tries to avoid.  Swapcache in
an mlocked area is rare, so won't often matter, but still better fixed.

Just rearrange the block in try_to_unmap_one(), to handle TTU_MIGRATION
before checking PageAnon, that's all (apart from some reindenting).

Well, no, that's not quite all: doesn't this by the way fix a soft_dirty
bug, that page migration of a file page was forgetting to transfer the
soft_dirty bit?  Probably not a serious bug: if I understand correctly,
soft_dirty afficionados usually have to handle file pages separately

__unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma()

Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in
the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one.
 Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials.

I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any
differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma
confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique,
which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration
entries.  Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of
migration entry ptes like everything else?  So lose that comment now, and

from the same level, on success or on failure, from __unmap_and_move() or
from unmap_and_move_huge_page().

Don't reset page->mapping of a PageAnon old page in move_to_new_page(),
leave that to when the page is freed.  Except for here in page migration,
it has been an invariant that a PageAnon (bit set in page->mapping) page
stays PageAnon until it is freed, and I think we're safer to keep to that.

And with the above rearrangement, it's necessary because zap_pte_range()
wants to identify whether a migration entry represents a file or an anon
page, to update the appropriate rss stats without waiting on it.

9 years agomm: page migration trylock newpage at same level as oldpage

mm: page migration trylock newpage at same level as oldpage

Clean up page migration a little by moving the trylock of newpage from
move_to_new_page() into __unmap_and_move(), where the old page has been
locked.  Adjust unmap_and_move_huge_page() and balloon_page_migrate()
accordingly.

But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of
newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so.
Cutting out BUG()s is good, right?  But, to be honest, this is really to
extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool
of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses.

Use an "else" instead of that "skip_unmap" label.

Hugh Dickins [Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:49:37 +0000 (18:49 -0800)]
mm: page migration fix PageMlocked on migrated pages

Commit e6c509f85455 ("mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()")
in v3.7 inadvertently made mlock_migrate_page() impotent: page migration
unmaps the page from userspace before migrating, and that commit clears
PageMlocked on the final unmap, leaving mlock_migrate_page() with
nothing to do.  Not a serious bug, the next attempt at reclaiming the
page would fix it up; but a betrayal of page migration's intent - the
new page ought to emerge as PageMlocked.

I don't see how to fix it for mlock_migrate_page() itself; but easily
fixed in remove_migration_pte(), by calling mlock_vma_page() when the vma
is VM_LOCKED - under pte lock as in try_to_unmap_one().

Delete mlock_migrate_page()?  Not quite, it does still serve a purpose for
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): where we could replace it by a test,
clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page() sequence; but would that be an
improvement?  mlock_migrate_page() is fairly lean, and let's make it
leaner by skipping the irq save/restore now clearly not needed.

9 years agomm: rmap use pte lock not mmap_sem to set PageMlocked
Hugh Dickins [Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:49:33 +0000 (18:49 -0800)]
mm: rmap use pte lock not mmap_sem to set PageMlocked

KernelThreadSanitizer (ktsan) has shown that the down_read_trylock() of
mmap_sem in try_to_unmap_one() (when going to set PageMlocked on a page
found mapped in a VM_LOCKED vma) is ineffective against races with
exit_mmap()'s munlock_vma_pages_all(), because mmap_sem is not held when
tearing down an mm.

But that's okay, those races are benign; and although we've believed for
years in that ugly down_read_trylock(), it's unsuitable for the job, and
frustrates the good intention of setting PageMlocked when it fails.

It just doesn't matter if here we read vm_flags an instant before or after
a racing mlock() or munlock() or exit_mmap() sets or clears VM_LOCKED: the
syscalls (or exit) work their way up the address space (taking pt locks
after updating vm_flags) to establish the final state.

We do still need to be careful never to mark a page Mlocked (hence
unevictable) by any race that will not be corrected shortly after.  The
page lock protects from many of the races, but not all (a page is not
necessarily locked when it's unmapped).  But the pte lock we just dropped
is good to cover the rest (and serializes even with
munlock_vma_pages_all(), so no special barriers required): now hold on to
the pte lock while calling mlock_vma_page().  Is that lock ordering safe?
Yes, that's how follow_page_pte() calls it, and how page_remove_rmap()
calls the complementary clear_page_mlock().

This fixes the following case (though not a case which anyone has
complained of), which mmap_sem did not: truncation's preliminary
unmap_mapping_range() is supposed to remove even the anonymous COWs of
filecache pages, and that might race with try_to_unmap_one() on a
VM_LOCKED vma, so that mlock_vma_page() sets PageMlocked just after
zap_pte_range() unmaps the page, causing "Bad page state (mlocked)" when
freed.  The pte lock protects against this.

You could say that it also protects against the more ordinary case, racing
with the preliminary unmapping of a filecache page itself: but in our
current tree, that's independently protected by i_mmap_rwsem; and that
race would be why "Bad page state (mlocked)" was seen before commit
48ec833b7851 ("Revert mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem").

Vlastimil Babka points out another race which this patch protects against.
 try_to_unmap_one() might reach its mlock_vma_page() TestSetPageMlocked a
moment after munlock_vma_pages_all() did its Phase 1 TestClearPageMlocked:
leaving PageMlocked and unevictable when it should be evictable.  mmap_sem
is ineffective because exit_mmap() does not hold it; page lock ineffective
because __munlock_pagevec() only takes it afterwards, in Phase 2; pte lock
is effective because __munlock_pagevec_fill() takes it to get the page,
after VM_LOCKED was cleared from vm_flags, so visible to try_to_unmap_one.

Kirill Shutemov points out that if the compiler chooses to implement a
"vma->vm_flags &= VM_WHATEVER" or "vma->vm_flags |= VM_WHATEVER" operation
with an intermediate store of unrelated bits set, since I'm here foregoing
its usual protection by mmap_sem, try_to_unmap_one() might catch sight of
a spurious VM_LOCKED in vm_flags, and make the wrong decision.  This does
not appear to be an immediate problem, but we may want to define vm_flags
accessors in future, to guard against such a possibility.

While we're here, make a related optimization in try_to_munmap_one(): if
it's doing TTU_MUNLOCK, then there's no point at all in descending the
page tables and getting the pt lock, unless the vma is VM_LOCKED.  Yes,
that can change racily, but it can change racily even without the
optimization: it's not critical.  Far better not to waste time here.

Stopped short of separating try_to_munlock_one() from try_to_munmap_one()
on this occasion, but that's probably the sensible next step - with a
rename, given that try_to_munlock()'s business is to try to set Mlocked.

Updated the unevictable-lru Documentation, to remove its reference to mmap
semaphore, but found a few more updates needed in just that area.

pages and pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages - memcg in the page

we can fold it into mem_cgroup_from_kmem.

9 years agomemcg: unify slab and other kmem pages charging
Vladimir Davydov [Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:49:01 +0000 (18:49 -0800)]
memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages charging

We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and
uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for
charging slab pages (i.e.  they are only used for charging pages allocated
with alloc_kmem_pages).  The only reason why the slab subsystem uses
special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it
needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges
to the memcg that the current task belongs to.

To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to
__memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL.  If it is
not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to,
otherwise it charge to the current context.  Next, it makes the slab
subsystem use this function to charge slab pages.

Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only
in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined.  Since
__memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we
don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages.
Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading
/proc/kpagecgroup.

Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design.  Since this
design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any
difference.

9 years agomemcg: simplify charging kmem pages
Vladimir Davydov [Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:48:59 +0000 (18:48 -0800)]
memcg: simplify charging kmem pages

Charging kmem pages proceeds in two steps.  First, we try to charge the
allocation size to the memcg the current task belongs to, then we allocate
a page and "commit" the charge storing the pointer to the memcg in the
page struct.

Such a design looks overcomplicated, because there is not much sense in
trying charging the allocation before actually allocating a page: we won't
be able to consume much memory over the limit even if we charge after
doing the actual allocation, besides we already charge user pages post
factum, so being pedantic with kmem pages just looks pointless.

So this patch simplifies the design by merging the "charge" and the
"commit" steps into the same function, which takes the allocated page.

Also, rename the charge and uncharge methods to memcg_kmem_charge and
memcg_kmem_uncharge and make the charge method return error code instead
of bool to conform to mem_cgroup_try_charge.

A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to

Although the possibility of hitting this time lag is very small for 3.19

SIGKILL, preemption or long interrupts (an extreme example is SysRq-t) can
step between and allow memory allocations which are not needed for
terminating the OOM victim.

writeback.

The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback
error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2).

However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl,
which don't check error status of individual mappings.

As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events
happen in the following order:

   Application                    System admin
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   write data on page cache
                                  Run sync command
                                  writeback completes with error
                                  filemap_fdatawait() clears error

mm: use only per-device readahead limit

Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values:
 1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead())
 2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages)

There are devices, which require custom readahead limit.
For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices
multiplied by chunk size times 2.

Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value
(POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size).

If so, why do we need two limits?
I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and
use per-device readahead limit everywhere.

Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly
increase i/o performance:

before:
  dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100

But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily
allocate memory for non existent numa nodes.

For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and
we allocate memory for nodes 2-14.  This patch we allocate memory for
only existing numa nodes.

memcg: ratify and consolidate over-charge handling

try_charge() is the main charging logic of memcg.  When it hits the limit
but either can't fail the allocation due to __GFP_NOFAIL or the task is
likely to free memory very soon, being OOM killed, has SIGKILL pending or
exiting, it "bypasses" the charge to the root memcg and returns -EINTR.
While this is one approach which can be taken for these situations, it has
several issues.

* It unnecessarily lies about the reality.  The number itself doesn't
  go over the limit but the actual usage does.  memcg is either forced
  to or actively chooses to go over the limit because that is the
  right behavior under the circumstances, which is completely fine,
  but, if at all avoidable, it shouldn't be misrepresenting what's
  happening by sneaking the charges into the root memcg.

* Despite trying, we already do over-charge.  kmemcg can't deal with
  switching over to the root memcg by the point try_charge() returns
  -EINTR, so it open-codes over-charing.

* It complicates the callers.  Each try_charge() user has to handle
  the weird -EINTR exception.  memcg_charge_kmem() does the manual
  over-charging.  mem_cgroup_do_precharge() performs unnecessary
  uncharging of root memcg, which BTW is inconsistent with what
  memcg_charge_kmem() does but not broken as [un]charging are noops on
  root memcg.  mem_cgroup_try_charge() needs to switch the returned
  cgroup to the root one.

The reality is that in memcg there are cases where we are forced and/or
willing to go over the limit.  Each such case needs to be scrutinized and
justified but there definitely are situations where that is the right
thing to do.  We alredy do this but with a superficial and inconsistent
disguise which leads to unnecessary complications.

This patch updates try_charge() so that it over-charges and returns 0 when
deemed necessary.  -EINTR return is removed along with all special case
handling in the callers.

While at it, remove the local variable @ret, which was initialized to zero
and never changed, along with done: label which just returned the always
zero @ret.

9 years agomemcg: punt high overage reclaim to return-to-userland path
Tejun Heo [Fri, 6 Nov 2015 02:46:11 +0000 (18:46 -0800)]
memcg: punt high overage reclaim to return-to-userland path

Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the
high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have
__GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped.  If a process performs only
speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit.  This is
actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /".  slab/slub
allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's
memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating
memory regardless of the high limit.

This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the
return-to-userland path.  If try_charge() detects that high limit is
breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and
schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs
synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path.

As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should
provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently.
It also has the following benefits.

- All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific
  gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached.

- It copes with prio inversion.  Previously, a low-prio task with
  small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of
  locks held.  If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it
  would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and
  released the locks.  By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit
  path this issue can be avoided.

uaccess: reimplement probe_kernel_address() using probe_kernel_read()

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added)
probe_kernel_read().

The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address()
returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns
-EFAULT.  All callers have been checked, none cared.

probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas
probe_kernel_address() cannot.  parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert
additional checking.  Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs,
although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside
arch/.

My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and
converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got
tiresome.

This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes.  For a single
probe_kernel_address() callsite.

mm: slab: only move management objects off-slab for sizes larger than KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE

On systems with a KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE of 128 (arm64, some mips and powerpc
configurations defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128), the first
kmalloc_caches[] entry to be initialised after slab_early_init = 0 is
"kmalloc-128" with index 7.  Depending on the debug kernel configuration,
sizeof(struct kmem_cache) can be larger than 128 resulting in an
INDEX_NODE of 8.

Commit 8fc9cf420b36 ("slab: make more slab management structure off the
slab") enables off-slab management objects for sizes starting with
PAGE_SIZE >> 5 (128 bytes for a 4KB page configuration) and the creation
of the "kmalloc-128" cache would try to place the management objects
off-slab.  However, since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is already 128 and
freelist_size == 32 in __kmem_cache_create(), kmalloc_slab(freelist_size)
returns NULL (kmalloc_caches[7] not populated yet).  This triggers the
following bug on arm64:
