* aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages saneBenjamin LaHaise2013-12-211-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation. To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page being migrated. While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent misbehaviour in the case of races.

* mm: numa: serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migrationMel Gorman2013-12-181-7/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Base pages are unmapped and flushed from cache and TLB during normal page migration and replaced with a migration entry that causes any parallel NUMA hinting fault or gup to block until migration completes. THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration entries at a PMD level. This allows races with get_user_pages and get_user_pages_fast which commit 3f926ab945b6 ("mm: Close races between THP migration and PMD numa clearing") made worse by introducing a pmd_clear_flush(). This patch forces get_user_page (fast and normal) on a pmd_numa page to go through the slow get_user_page path where it will serialise against THP migration and properly account for the NUMA hinting fault. On the migration side the page table lock is taken for each PTE update.

* mm: thp: give transparent hugepage code a separate copy_pageDave Hansen2013-11-211-0/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page() for hugetlbfs and thp pages: if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page)) copy_huge_page(newpage, page); So, yay for code reuse. But: void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src) { struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src); and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of the time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs page order, it works. But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line (say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate: void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src) { struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src); if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) { ... Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.

* | sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faultsMel Gorman2013-10-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge page boundary. To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also, no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure. To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking" to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons. First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as private faults can result in lower performance overall. The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision. The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

* | mm: numa: Scan pages with elevated page_mapcountMel Gorman2013-10-091-11/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data. This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.

Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock: kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to 0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at 73ce02e9 in detail. If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0. It assume high-order users can still perform direct reclaim if they wish. Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on zone->all_unreclaimble= . This is because to avoid too early oom-kill. So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop. In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill the process. As described in: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737 We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy. Thus this patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates zone reclaimable state every time. Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable. Because, it is racy. commit 929bea7c71 (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe. But the other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages. To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd basis or not. And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

This behavior was introduced in commit 189ebff28 ("hugetlb: simplify migrate_huge_page()"), and was OK because until now hugepage migration is enabled only for soft-offlining which migrates only one hugepage in a single call. But the situation will change in the later patches in this series which enable other users of page migration to support hugepage migration. They can kick migration for both of normal pages and hugepages in a single call, so we need to go back to original implementation which uses linked lists to collect the hugepages to be migrated. With this patch, soft_offline_huge_page() switches to use migrate_pages(), and migrate_huge_page() is not used any more. So let's remove it.

* | mm: migrate: make core migration code aware of hugepageNaoya Horiguchi2013-09-111-1/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently hugepage migration is available only for soft offlining, but it's also useful for some other users of page migration (clearly because users of hugepage can enjoy the benefit of mempolicy and memory hotplug.) So this patchset tries to extend such users to support hugepage migration. The target of this patchset is to enable hugepage migration for NUMA related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and memory hotplug. This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction, because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages. CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack of testing and expertise in CMA.) Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now (again, because of lack of testing.) As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9 is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation. My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code is available here: git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With this patchset, no regression was found in the test. This patch (of 9): Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage, this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages() and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on hugepage fault until the migration finishes.

This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

* mm compaction: fix of improper cache flush in migration codeLeonid Yegoshin2013-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page 'new' during MIGRATION can't be flushed with flush_cache_page(). Using flush_cache_page(vma, addr, pfn) is justified only if the page is already placed in process page table, and that is done right after flush_cache_page(). But without it the arch function has no knowledge of process PTE and does nothing. Besides that, flush_cache_page() flushes an application cache page, but the kernel has a different page virtual address and dirtied it. Replace it with flush_dcache_page(new) which is the proper usage. The old page is flushed in try_to_unmap_one() before migration. This bug takes place in Sead3 board with M14Kc MIPS CPU without cache aliasing (but Harvard arch - separate I and D cache) in tight memory environment (128MB) each 1-3days on SOAK test. It fails in cc1 during kernel build (SIGILL, SIGBUS, SIGSEG) if CONFIG_COMPACTION is switched ON.

There is some question as to whether enforcing a NUMA mempolicy migration ought to migrate KSM pages, mapped into entirely unrelated processes; but moving page_mapcount > 1 is only permitted with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL anyway, and it seems reasonable to assume that you wouldn't set MADV_MERGEABLE on any area where this is a worry.

* ksm: make KSM page migration possibleHugh Dickins2013-02-231-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KSM page migration is already supported in the case of memory hotremove, which takes the ksm_thread_mutex across all its migrations to keep life simple. But the new KSM NUMA merge_across_nodes knob introduces a problem, when it's set to non-default 0: if a KSM page is migrated to a different NUMA node, how do we migrate its stable node to the right tree? And what if that collides with an existing stable node? So far there's no provision for that, and this patch does not attempt to deal with it either. But how will I test a solution, when I don't know how to hotremove memory? The best answer is to enable KSM page migration in all cases now, and test more common cases. With THP and compaction added since KSM came in, page migration is now mainstream, and it's a shame that a KSM page can frustrate freeing a page block. Without worrying about merge_across_nodes 0 for now, this patch gets KSM page migration working reliably for default merge_across_nodes 1 (but leave the patch enabling it until near the end of the series). It's much simpler than I'd originally imagined, and does not require an additional tier of locking: page migration relies on the page lock, KSM page reclaim relies on the page lock, the page lock is enough for KSM page migration too. Almost all the care has to be in get_ksm_page(): that's the function which worries about when a stable node is stale and should be freed, now it also has to worry about the KSM page being migrated. The only new overhead is an additional put/get/lock/unlock_page when stable_tree_search() arrives at a matching node: to make sure migration respects the raised page count, and so does not migrate the page while we're busy with it here. That's probably avoidable, either by changing internal interfaces from using kpage to stable_node, or by moving the ksm_migrate_page() callsite into a page_freeze_refs() section (even if not swapcache); but this works well, I've no urge to pull it apart now. (Descents of the stable tree may pass through nodes whose KSM pages are under migration: being unlocked, the raised page count does not prevent that, nor need it: it's safe to memcmp against either old or new page.) You might worry about mremap, and whether page migration's rmap_walk to remove migration entries will find all the KSM locations where it inserted earlier: that should already be handled, by the satisfyingly heavy hammer of move_vma()'s call to ksm_madvise(,,,MADV_UNMERGEABLE,).

* mm: numa: cleanup flow of transhuge page migrationHugh Dickins2013-02-231-52/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When correcting commit 04fa5d6a6547 ("mm: migrate: check page_count of THP before migrating") Hugh Dickins noted that the control flow for transhuge migration was difficult to follow. Unconditionally calling put_page() in numamigrate_isolate_page() made the failure paths of both migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() and migrate_misplaced_page() more complex that they should be. Further, he was extremely wary that an unlock_page() should ever happen after a put_page() even if the put_page() should never be the final put_page. Hugh implemented the following cleanup to simplify the path by calling putback_lru_page() inside numamigrate_isolate_page() if it failed to isolate and always calling unlock_page() within migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(). There is no functional change after this patch is applied but the code is easier to follow and unlock_page() always happens before put_page().

* mm: migrate: check page_count of THP before migratingMel Gorman2013-01-111-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hugh Dickins pointed out that migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() does not check page_count before migrating like base page migration and khugepage. He could not see why this was safe and he is right. The potential impact of the bug is avoided due to the limitations of NUMA balancing. The page_mapcount() check ensures that only a single address space is using this page and as THPs are typically private it should not be possible for another address space to fault it in parallel. If the address space has one associated task then it's difficult to have both a GUP pin and be referencing the page at the same time. If there are multiple tasks then a buggy scenario requires that another thread be accessing the page while the direct IO is in flight. This is dodgy behaviour as there is a possibility of corruption with or without THP migration. It would be While we happen to be safe for the most part it is shoddy to depend on such "safety" so this patch checks the page count similar to anonymous pages. Note that this does not mean that the page_mapcount() check can go away. If we were to remove the page_mapcount() check the the THP would have to be unmapped from all referencing PTEs, replaced with migration PTEs and restored properly afterwards.

In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...

Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes a global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense threaded workloads which can cause pathological performance like this: 96.43% process 0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] perf_trace_sched_switch | --- perf_trace_sched_switch __schedule schedule schedule_preempt_disabled __mutex_lock_common.isra.6 __mutex_lock_slowpath mutex_lock | |--50.61%-- rmap_walk | move_to_new_page | migrate_pages | migrate_misplaced_page | __do_numa_page.isra.69 | handle_pte_fault | handle_mm_fault | __do_page_fault | do_page_fault | page_fault | __memset_sse2 | | | --100.00%-- worker_thread | | | --100.00%-- start_thread | --49.39%-- page_lock_anon_vma try_to_unmap_anon try_to_unmap migrate_pages migrate_misplaced_page __do_numa_page.isra.69 handle_pte_fault handle_mm_fault __do_page_fault do_page_fault page_fault __memset_sse2 | --100.00%-- worker_thread start_thread With this change applied the profile is now nicely flat and there's no anon-vma related scheduling/blocking.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note: This is very heavily based on a patch from Peter Zijlstra with fixes from Ingo Molnar, Hugh Dickins and Johannes Weiner. That patch put a lot of migration logic into mm/huge_memory.c where it does not belong. This version puts tries to share some of the migration logic with migrate_misplaced_page. However, it should be noted that now migrate.c is doing more with the pagetable manipulation than is preferred. The end result is barely recognisable so as before, the signed-offs had to be removed but will be re-added if the original authors are ok with it. Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. It uses the page lock to serialize. No migration pte dance is necessary because the pte is already unmapped when we decide to migrate.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there are a large number of NUMA hinting faults and all of them are resulting in migrations it may indicate that memory is just bouncing uselessly around. NUMA balancing cost is likely exceeding any benefit from locality. Rate limit the PTE updates if the node is migration rate-limited. As noted in the comments, this distorts the NUMA faulting statistics. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NOTE: This is very heavily based on similar logic in autonuma. It should be signed off by Andrea but because there was no standalone patch and it's sufficiently different from what he did that the signed-off is omitted. Will be added back if requested. If a large number of pages are misplaced then the memory bus can be saturated just migrating pages between nodes. This patch rate-limits the amount of memory that can be migrating between nodes.

This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part of a basic costing model. u = basic unit = sizeof(void *) Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock) where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a lock Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000 Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost of the locking operation Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma) where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2 would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates + Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults + Ci * numa_pages_migrated + Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill. The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0. convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults where this is measured for the last N number of numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully converged the value is 1. This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is doing it.
