* mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in checkJohannes Weiner2014-04-0310-43/+359
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will accumulate until the machine runs out of memory. To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then reclaim these nodes on memory pressure. A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list: 1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost. 2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter can easily be stored in the unused upper bits. 3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well. 4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

* mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizingJohannes Weiner2014-04-038-23/+331
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists. One list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list. The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown to benefit from caching in the past. We call the recently usedbut ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for cache. This patch solves one half of the problem by decoupling the ability to detect working set changes from the inactive list size. By maintaining a history of recently evicted file pages it can detect frequently used pages with an arbitrarily small inactive list size, and subsequently apply pressure on the active list based on actual demand for cache, not just overall eviction speed. Every zone maintains a counter that tracks inactive list aging speed. When a page is evicted, a snapshot of this counter is stored in the now-empty page cache radix tree slot. On refault, the minimum access distance of the page can be assessed, to evaluate whether the page should be part of the active list or not. This fixes the VM's blindness towards working set changes in excess of the inactive list. And it's the foundation to further improve the protection ability and reduce the minimum inactive list size of 50%.

* mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cacheJohannes Weiner2014-04-0350-65/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area surrounding a fault. It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is "empty tree slot". But this is about to change, though, as shadow page descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get evicted from memory. Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition of "page cache hole".

One list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list. The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown to benefit from caching in the past. We call the recently used list "inactive list" and the frequently used list "active list". Currently, the VM aims for a 1:1 ratio between the lists, which is the "perfect" trade-off between the ability to *protect* frequently used pages and the ability to *detect* frequently used pages. This means that working set changes bigger than half of cache memory go undetected and thrash indefinitely, whereas working sets bigger than half of cache memory are unprotected against used-once streams that don't even need caching. This happens on file servers and media streaming servers, where the popular files and file sections change over time. Even though the individual files might be smaller than half of memory, concurrent access to many of them may still result in their inter-reference distance being greater than half of memory. It's also been reported as a problem on database workloads that switch back and forth between tables that are bigger than half of memory. In these cases the VM never recognizes the new working set and will for the remainder of the workload thrash disk data which could easily live in memory. Historically, every reclaim scan of the inactive list also took a smaller number of pages from the tail of the active list and moved them to the head of the inactive list. This model gave established working sets more gracetime in the face of temporary use-once streams, but ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for cache. This series solves the problem by maintaining a history of pages evicted from the inactive list, enabling the VM to detect frequently used pages regardless of inactive list size and facilitate working set transitions. Tests: The reported database workload is easily demonstrated on a 8G machine with two filesets a 6G. This fio workload operates on one set first, then switches to the other. The VM should obviously always cache the set that the workload is currently using. This test is based on a problem encountered by Citus Data customers: http://citusdata.com/blog/72-linux-memory-manager-and-your-big-data unpatched: db1: READ: io=98304MB, aggrb=885559KB/s, minb=885559KB/s, maxb=885559KB/s, mint= 113672msec, maxt= 113672msec db2: READ: io=98304MB, aggrb= 66169KB/s, minb= 66169KB/s, maxb= 66169KB/s, mint=1521302msec, maxt=1521302msec sdb: ios=835750/4, merge=2/1, ticks=4659739/60016, in_queue=4719203, util=98.92% real 27m15.541s user 0m19.059s sys 0m51.459s patched: db1: READ: io=98304MB, aggrb=877783KB/s, minb=877783KB/s, maxb=877783KB/s, mint=114679msec, maxt=114679msec db2: READ: io=98304MB, aggrb=397449KB/s, minb=397449KB/s, maxb=397449KB/s, mint=253273msec, maxt=253273msec sdb: ios=170587/4, merge=2/1, ticks=954910/61123, in_queue=1015923, util=90.40% real 6m8.630s user 0m14.714s sys 0m31.233s As can be seen, the unpatched kernel simply never adapts to the workingset change and db2 is stuck indefinitely with secondary storage speed. The patched kernel needs 2-3 iterations over db2 before it replaces db1 and reaches full memory speed. Given the unbounded negative affect of the existing VM behavior, these patches should be considered correctness fixes rather than performance optimizations. Another test resembles a fileserver or streaming server workload, where data in excess of memory size is accessed at different frequencies. There is very hot data accessed at a high frequency. Machines should be fitted so that the hot set of such a workload can be fully cached or all bets are off. Then there is a very big (compared to available memory) set of data that is used-once or at a very low frequency; this is what drives the inactive list and does not really benefit from caching. Lastly, there is a big set of warm data in between that is accessed at medium frequencies and benefits from caching the pages between the first and last streamer of each burst. unpatched: hot: READ: io=128000MB, aggrb=160693KB/s, minb=160693KB/s, maxb=160693KB/s, mint=815665msec, maxt=815665msec warm: READ: io= 81920MB, aggrb=109853KB/s, minb= 27463KB/s, maxb= 29244KB/s, mint=717110msec, maxt=763617msec cold: READ: io= 30720MB, aggrb= 35245KB/s, minb= 35245KB/s, maxb= 35245KB/s, mint=892530msec, maxt=892530msec sdb: ios=797960/4, merge=11763/1, ticks=4307910/796, in_queue=4308380, util=100.00% patched: hot: READ: io=128000MB, aggrb=160678KB/s, minb=160678KB/s, maxb=160678KB/s, mint=815740msec, maxt=815740msec warm: READ: io= 81920MB, aggrb=147747KB/s, minb= 36936KB/s, maxb= 40960KB/s, mint=512000msec, maxt=567767msec cold: READ: io= 30720MB, aggrb= 40960KB/s, minb= 40960KB/s, maxb= 40960KB/s, mint=768000msec, maxt=768000msec sdb: ios=596514/4, merge=9341/1, ticks=2395362/997, in_queue=2396484, util=79.18% In both kernels, the hot set is propagated to the active list and then served from cache. In both kernels, the beginning of the warm set is propagated to the active list as well, but in the unpatched case the active list eventually takes up half of memory and no new pages from the warm set get activated, despite repeated access, and despite most of the active list soon being stale. The patched kernel on the other hand detects the thrashing and manages to keep this cache window rolling through the data set. This frees up enough IO bandwidth that the cold set is served at full speed as well and disk utilization even drops by 20%. For reference, this same test was performed with the traditional demotion mechanism, where deactivation is coupled to inactive list reclaim. However, this had the same outcome as the unpatched kernel: while the warm set does indeed get activated continuously, it is forced out of the active list by inactive list pressure, which is dictated primarily by the unrelated cold set. The warm set is evicted before subsequent streamers can benefit from it, even though there would be enough space available to cache the pages of interest. Costs: Page reclaim used to shrink the radix trees but now the tree nodes are reused for shadow entries, where the cost depends heavily on the page cache access patterns. However, with workloads that maintain spatial or temporal locality, the shadow entries are either refaulted quickly or reclaimed along with the inode object itself. Workloads that will experience a memory cost increase are those that don't really benefit from caching in the first place. A more predictable alternative would be a fixed-cost separate pool of shadow entries, but this would incur relatively higher memory cost for well-behaved workloads at the benefit of cornercases. It would also make the shadow entry lookup more costly compared to storing them directly in the cache structure. Future: To simplify the merging process, this patch set is implementing thrash detection on a global per-zone level only for now, but the design is such that it can be extended to memory cgroups as well. All we need to do is store the unique cgroup ID along the node and zone identifier inside the eviction cookie to identify the lruvec. Right now we have a fixed ratio (50:50) between inactive and active list but we already have complaints about working sets exceeding half of memory being pushed out of the cache by simple streaming in the background. Ultimately, we want to adjust this ratio and allow for a much smaller inactive list. These patches are an essential step in this direction because they decouple the VMs ability to detect working set changes from the inactive list size. This would allow us to base the inactive list size on the combined readahead window size for example and potentially protect a much bigger working set. It's also a big step towards activating pages with a reuse distance larger than memory, as long as they are the most frequently used pages in the workload. This will require knowing more about the access frequency of active pages than what we measure right now, so it's also deferred in this series. Another possibility of having thrashing information would be to revisit the idea of local reclaim in the form of zero-config memory control groups. Instead of having allocating tasks go straight to global reclaim, they could try to reclaim the pages in the memcg they are part of first as long as the group is not thrashing. This would allow a user to drop e.g. a back-up job in an otherwise unconfigured memcg and it would only inflate (and possibly do global reclaim) until it has enough memory to do proper readahead. But once it reaches that point and stops thrashing it would just recycle its own used-once pages without kicking out the cache of any other tasks in the system more than necessary. This patch (of 10): Fengguang Wu's build testing spotted problems with inc_zone_state() and dec_zone_state() on UP configurations in out-of-tree patches. inc_zone_state() is declared but not defined, dec_zone_state() is missing entirely. Just like with *_zone_page_state(), they can be defined like their preemption-unsafe counterparts on UP.

* mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault scalabilityDavidlohr Bueso2014-04-031-13/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel can currently only handle a single hugetlb page fault at a time. This is due to a single mutex that serializes the entire path. This lock protects from spurious OOM errors under conditions of low availability of free hugepages. This problem is specific to hugepages, because it is normal to want to use every single hugepage in the system - with normal pages we simply assume there will always be a few spare pages which can be used temporarily until the race is resolved. Address this problem by using a table of mutexes, allowing a better chance of parallelization, where each hugepage is individually serialized. The hash key is selected depending on the mapping type. For shared ones it consists of the address space and file offset being faulted; while for private ones the mm and virtual address are used. The size of the table is selected based on a compromise of collisions and memory footprint of a series of database workloads. Large database workloads that make heavy use of hugepages can be particularly exposed to this issue, causing start-up times to be painfully slow. This patch reduces the startup time of a 10 Gb Oracle DB (with ~5000 faults) from 37.5 secs to 25.7 secs. Larger workloads will naturally benefit even more. NOTE: The only downside to this patch, detected by Joonsoo Kim, is that a small race is possible in private mappings: A child process (with its own mm, after cow) can instantiate a page that is already being handled by the parent in a cow fault. When low on pages, can trigger spurious OOMs. I have not been able to think of a efficient way of handling this... but do we really care about such a tiny window? We already maintain another theoretical race with normal pages. If not, one possible way to is to maintain the single hash for private mappings -- any workloads that *really* suffer from this scaling problem should already use shared mappings.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race condition if we map a same file on different processes. Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex. When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only mmap_sem (exclusively). This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes concurrently. To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region manipulation function grab it before they do actual work.

* kernel/watchdog.c: touch_nmi_watchdog should only touch local cpu not every oneBen Zhang2014-04-031-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I ran into a scenario where while one cpu was stuck and should have panic'd because of the NMI watchdog, it didn't. The reason was another cpu was spewing stack dumps on to the console. Upon investigation, I noticed that when writing to the console and also when dumping the stack, the watchdog is touched. This causes all the cpus to reset their NMI watchdog flags and the 'stuck' cpu just spins forever. This change causes the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog to be changed slightly. Previously, I accidentally changed the semantics and we noticed there was a codepath in which touch_nmi_watchdog could be touched from a preemtible area. That caused a BUG() to happen when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT was enabled. I believe it was the acpi code. My attempt here re-introduces the change to have the touch_nmi_watchdog() code only touch the local cpu instead of all of the cpus. But instead of using __get_cpu_var(), I use the __raw_get_cpu_var() version. This avoids the preemption problem. However my reasoning wasn't because I was trying to be lazy. Instead I rationalized it as, well if preemption is enabled then interrupts should be enabled to and the NMI watchdog will have no reason to trigger. So it won't matter if the wrong cpu is touched because the percpu interrupt counters the NMI watchdog uses should still be incrementing. Don said: : I'm ok with this patch, though it does alter the behaviour of how : touch_nmi_watchdog works. For the most part I don't think most callers : need to touch all of the watchdogs (on each cpu). Perhaps a corner case : will pop up (the scheduler?? to mimic touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() ). : : But this does address an issue where if a system is locked up and one cpu : is spewing out useful debug messages (or error messages), the hard lockup : will fail to go off.

At first we run the test program1 on NodeA , the result is 10k. And then run the test program2 on NodeB, the result is 15k. At last, we run the test program1 on NodeA again, the result is 10k. After applying this patch the three step result is 15k. test result: 1000000 times lseek call; index lseek with inode lock (unit:us) lseek without inode lock (unit:us) 1 1168162 555383 2 1168011 549504 3 1170538 549396 4 1170375 551685 5 1170444 556719 6 1174364 555307 7 1163294 551552 8 1170080 549350 9 1162464 553700 10 1165441 552594 avg 1168317 552519 avg with lock - avg without lock = 615798 (avg with lock - avg without lock)/1000000=0.615798 us Signed-off-by: Jensen <shencanquan@huawei.com> Cc: Jie Liu <jeff.liu@oracle.com> Acked-by: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com> Cc: Sunil Mushran <sunil.mushran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The regression is caused because these patches delay the iput() in case of dentry unlocks. This also delays the unlocking of the open lockres. The open lockresource is required to test if the inode can be wiped from disk or not. When the deleting node does not get the open lock, it marks it as orphan (even though it is not in use by another node/process) and causes a journal checkpoint. This delays operations following the inode eviction. This also moves the inode to the orphaned inode which further causes more I/O and a lot of unneccessary orphans. The following script can be used to generate the load causing issues: declare -a create declare -a remove declare -a iterations=(1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384) unique="`mktemp -u XXXXX`" script="/tmp/idontknow-${unique}.sh" cat <<EOF > "${script}" for n in {1..8}; do mkdir -p test/dir\${n} eval touch test/dir\${n}/foo{1.."\$1"} done EOF chmod 700 "${script}" function fcreate () { exec 2>&1 /usr/bin/time --format=%E "${script}" "$1" } function fremove () { exec 2>&1 /usr/bin/time --format=%E ssh node2 "cd `pwd`; rm -Rf test*" } function fcp () { exec 2>&1 /usr/bin/time --format=%E ssh node3 "cd `pwd`; cp -R test test.new" } echo ------------------------------------------------- echo "| # files | create #s | copy #s | remove #s |" echo ------------------------------------------------- for ((x=0; x < ${#iterations[*]} ; x++)) do create[$x]="`fcreate ${iterations[$x]}`" copy[$x]="`fcp ${iterations[$x]}`" remove[$x]="`fremove`" printf "| %8d | %9s | %9s | %9s |\n" ${iterations[$x]} ${create[$x]} ${copy[$x]} ${remove[$x]} done rm "${script}" echo "------------------------" Signed-off-by: Srinivas Eeda <srinivas.eeda@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.de> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The variable "lock" will point to invalid data if "tmpq" list is empty and a panic will be triggered due to this. Sunil advised reverting it back, but the old version was also not right. At the end of the outer for loop, that list_for_each_entry will also set "lock" to an invalid data, then in the next loop, if the "tmpq" list is empty, "lock" will be an stale invalid data and cause the panic. So reverting the list_for_each back and reset "lock" to NULL to fix this issue. Another concern is that this seemes can not happen because the "tmpq" list should not be empty. Let me describe how. old lock resource owner(node 1): migratation target(node 2): image there's lockres with a EX lock from node 2 in granted list, a NR lock from node x with convert_type EX in converting list. dlm_empty_lockres() { dlm_pick_migration_target() { pick node 2 as target as its lock is the first one in granted list. } dlm_migrate_lockres() { dlm_mark_lockres_migrating() { res->state |= DLM_LOCK_RES_BLOCK_DIRTY; wait_event(dlm->ast_wq, !dlm_lockres_is_dirty(dlm, res)); //after the above code, we can not dirty lockres any more, // so dlm_thread shuffle list will not run downconvert lock from EX to NR upconvert lock from NR to EX <<< migration may schedule out here, then <<< node 2 send down convert request to convert type from EX to <<< NR, then send up convert request to convert type from NR to <<< EX, at this time, lockres granted list is empty, and two locks <<< in the converting list, node x up convert lock followed by <<< node 2 up convert lock. // will set lockres RES_MIGRATING flag, the following // lock/unlock can not run dlm_lockres_release_ast(dlm, res); } dlm_send_one_lockres() dlm_process_recovery_data() for (i=0; i<mres->num_locks; i++) if (ml->node == dlm->node_num) for (j = DLM_GRANTED_LIST; j <= DLM_BLOCKED_LIST; j++) { list_for_each_entry(lock, tmpq, list) if (lock) break; <<< lock is invalid as grant list is empty. } if (lock->ml.node != ml->node) BUG() >>> crash here } I see the above locks status from a vmcore of our internal bug.

* ocfs2: improve fsync efficiency and fix deadlock between aio_write and sync_fileDarrick J. Wong2014-04-039-21/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, ocfs2_sync_file grabs i_mutex and forces the current journal transaction to complete. This isn't terribly efficient, since sync_file really only needs to wait for the last transaction involving that inode to complete, and this doesn't require i_mutex. Therefore, implement the necessary bits to track the newest tid associated with an inode, and teach sync_file to wait for that instead of waiting for everything in the journal to commit. Furthermore, only issue the flush request to the drive if jbd2 hasn't already done so. This also eliminates the deadlock between ocfs2_file_aio_write() and ocfs2_sync_file(). aio_write takes i_mutex then calls ocfs2_aiodio_wait() to wait for unaligned dio writes to finish. However, if that dio completion involves calling fsync, then we can get into trouble when some ocfs2_sync_file tries to take i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
