* mm: use octal not symbolic permissionsJoe Perches2018-06-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mm/*.c files use symbolic and octal styles for permissions. Using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more readable. https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/2/1945 Prefer the direct use of octal for permissions. Done using $ scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace mm/*.c and some typing.

* mm, page_alloc: do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist resetVlastimil Babka2018-06-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU. This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race. Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit 511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE works as promised. We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different when commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their own restricted zonelists. We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's anything currently broken. SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't yet have 511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node") it is. That's at least 4.4 LTS. Older ones I'll have to check. So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW I think that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a separate patch.

* mm: combine LRU and main union in struct pageMatthew Wilcox2018-06-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gives us five words of space in a single union in struct page. The compound_mapcount moves position (from offset 24 to offset 20) on 64-bit systems, but that does not seem likely to cause any trouble.

* mm: split page_type out from _mapcountMatthew Wilcox2018-06-071-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the _mapcount and make page_type its own field. That implies renaming some of the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names. As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask. Because it starts out life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page flag means clearing the appropriate bit. This gives us space for probably twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about _mapcount underflow).

* lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotationOmar Sandoval2018-06-071-5/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats. 1: https://lwn.net/Articles/625412/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9f8aa70652a98e98d7c4de0fc96a4addcee13efe.1523778026.git.osandov@fb.com Fixes: d92a8cfcb37e ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Node1 will surely contain memmaps on the same node and those would prevent offlining to succeed. So this is arguably a configuration issue. Although one could argue that we should be more clever and rule early allocations from the zone movable. This would be correct but probably not worth the effort considering what a hack movablecore is. Anyway, We could do better for those cases though. We rely on start_isolate_page_range resp. has_unmovable_pages to do their job. The first one isolates the whole range to be offlined so that we do not allocate from it anymore and the later makes sure we are not stumbling over non-migrateable pages. has_unmovable_pages is overly optimistic, however. It doesn't check all the pages if we are withing zone_movable because we rely that those pages will be always migrateable. As it turns out we are still not perfect there. While bootmem pages in zonemovable sound like a clear bug which should be fixed let's remove the optimization for now and warn if we encounter unmovable pages in zone_movable in the meantime. That should help for now at least. Btw. this wasn't a real problem until commit 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early") because we used to have a small number of retries and then failed. This turned out to be too fragile though.

* xen, mm: allow deferred page initialization for xen pv domainsPavel Tatashin2018-04-111-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Juergen Gross noticed that commit f7f99100d8d ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap") broke XEN PV domains when deferred struct page initialization is enabled. This is because the xen's PagePinned() flag is getting erased from struct pages when they are initialized later in boot. Juergen fixed this problem by disabling deferred pages on xen pv domains. It is desirable, however, to have this feature available as it reduces boot time. This fix re-enables the feature for pv-dmains, and fixes the problem the following way: The fix is to delay setting PagePinned flag until struct pages for all allocated memory are initialized, i.e. until after free_all_bootmem(). A new x86_init.hyper op init_after_bootmem() is called to let xen know that boot allocator is done, and hence struct pages for all the allocated memory are now initialized. If deferred page initialization is enabled, the rest of struct pages are going to be initialized later in boot once page_alloc_init_late() is called. xen_after_bootmem() walks page table's pages and marks them pinned.

History This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed. 1. What does this patch do? This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone. To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view, characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem. 2. Motivation There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone. Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway, following is the problems of the current implementation. o CMA memory utilization First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0 If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim, there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas would not be used. FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml. And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this problem. Useless reclaim: There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence, CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be usable for the kernel allocation. Atomic allocation failure: This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage calculation logic. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would fails due to following logic. - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0 It was reported by Aneesh [3]. Useless compaction: Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction, migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the unmovable allocation request so it's just waste. 3. Current approach and new approach Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However, as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised. New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone. There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by discarding this case. Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all. 4.

* mm/page_alloc: don't reserve ZONE_HIGHMEM for ZONE_MOVABLE requestJoonsoo Kim2018-04-111-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that important to reserve. When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page allocation. So, fix it by setting 0 to sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM]. And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size makes code complex. For example, if there is highmem system, following reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily misleading people. #ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM 32 #endif This patch also fixes this situation by defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to right place.

* mm/page_isolation.c: make start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolatedMike Kravetz2018-04-051-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | start_isolate_page_range() is used to set the migrate type of a set of pageblocks to MIGRATE_ISOLATE while attempting to start a migration operation. It assumes that only one thread is calling it for the specified range. This routine is used by CMA, memory hotplug and gigantic huge pages. Each of these users synchronize access to the range within their subsystem. However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range. If this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing. This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation. What is ideally needed is a way to synchronize access to a set of pageblocks that are undergoing isolation and migration. The only thing we know about these pageblocks is that they are all in the same zone. A per-node mutex is too coarse as we want to allow multiple operations on different ranges within the same zone concurrently. Instead, we will use the migration type of the pageblocks themselves as a form of synchronization. start_isolate_page_range sets the migration type on a set of page- blocks going in order from the one associated with the smallest pfn to the largest pfn. The zone lock is acquired to check and set the migration type. When going through the list of pageblocks check if MIGRATE_ISOLATE is already set. If so, this indicates another thread is working on this pageblock. We know exactly which pageblocks we set, so clean up by undo those and return -EBUSY. This allows start_isolate_page_range to serve as a synchronization mechanism and will allow for more general use of callers making use of these interfaces. Update comments in alloc_contig_range to reflect this new functionality. Each CPU holds the associated zone lock to modify or examine the migration type of a pageblock. And, it will only examine/update a single pageblock per lock acquire/release cycle.

* mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memoryDavid Rientjes2018-04-051-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed. This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high- order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up. When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

* mm/free_pcppages_bulk: prefetch buddy while not holding lockAaron Lu2018-04-051-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a page is freed back to the global pool, its buddy will be checked to see if it's possible to do a merge. This requires accessing buddy's page structure and that access could take a long time if it's cache cold. This patch adds a prefetch to the to-be-freed page's buddy outside of zone->lock in hope of accessing buddy's page structure later under zone->lock will be faster. Since we *always* do buddy merging and check an order-0 page's buddy to try to merge it when it goes into the main allocator, the cacheline will always come in, i.e. the prefetched data will never be unused. Normally, the number of prefetch will be pcp->batch(default=31 and has an upper limit of (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)=96 on x86_64) but in the case of pcp's pages get all drained, it will be pcp->count which has an upper limit of pcp->high. pcp->high, although has a default value of 186 (pcp->batch=31 * 6), can be changed by user through /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction and there is no software upper limit so could be large, like several thousand. For this reason, only the first pcp->batch number of page's buddy structure is prefetched to avoid excessive prefetching. In the meantime, there are two concerns: 1. the prefetch could potentially evict existing cachelines, especially for L1D cache since it is not huge 2. there is some additional instruction overhead, namely calculating buddy pfn twice For 1, it's hard to say, this microbenchmark though shows good result but the actual benefit of this patch will be workload/CPU dependant; For 2, since the calculation is a XOR on two local variables, it's expected in many cases that cycles spent will be offset by reduced memory latency later. This is especially true for NUMA machines where multiple CPUs are contending on zone->lock and the most time consuming part under zone->lock is the wait of 'struct page' cacheline of the to-be-freed pages and their buddies.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages three times: 1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section() 2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and SetPageReserved(page); 3. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn() This patch removes the first two loops, and leaves only loop 3. All struct pages are initialized in one place, the same as it is done during boot. The benefits: - We improve memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting the cache several times and also reduce loop branching overhead. - Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added in order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above email thread, thus also improve performance during normal boot. - Make memory hotplug more similar to the boot memory initialization path because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one function. - Simplifies memory hotplug struct page initialization code, and thus enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the initialization of struct pages in order to improve hotplug performance even further on larger machines.

* mm: initialize pages on demand during bootPavel Tatashin2018-04-051-39/+144
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deferred page initialization allows the boot cpu to initialize a small subset of the system's pages early in boot, with other cpus doing the rest later on. It is, however, problematic to know how many pages the kernel needs during boot. Different modules and kernel parameters may change the requirement, so the boot cpu either initializes too many pages or runs out of memory. To fix that, initialize early pages on demand. This ensures the kernel does the minimum amount of work to initialize pages during boot and leaves the rest to be divided in the multithreaded initialization path (deferred_init_memmap). The on-demand code is permanently disabled using static branching once deferred pages are initialized. After the static branch is changed to false, the overhead is up-to two branch-always instructions if the zone watermark check fails or if rmqueue fails. Sergey Senozhatsky noticed that while deferred pages currently make sense only on NUMA machines (we start one thread per latency node), CONFIG_NUMA is not a requirement for CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, so that is also must be addressed in the patch.

* mm: disable interrupts while initializing deferred pagesPavel Tatashin2018-04-051-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Vlastimil Babka reported about a window issue during which when deferred pages are initialized, and the current version of on-demand initialization is finished, allocations may fail. While this is highly unlikely scenario, since this kind of allocation request must be large, and must come from interrupt handler, we still want to cover it. We solve this by initializing deferred pages with interrupts disabled, and holding node_size_lock spin lock while pages in the node are being initialized. The on-demand deferred page initialization that comes later will use the same lock, and thus synchronize with deferred_init_memmap(). It is unlikely for threads that initialize deferred pages to be interrupted. They run soon after smp_init(), but before modules are initialized, and long before user space programs. This is why there is no adverse effect of having these threads running with interrupts disabled.

I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users. In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees. [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ] The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases. After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline gcc support: - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc. - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]" This really says it all: 2498 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 467668 deletions(-) * tag 'arch-removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (74 commits) MAINTAINERS: UNICORE32: Change email account staging: iio: remove iio-trig-bfin-timer driver tty: hvc: remove tile driver tty: remove bfin_jtag_comm and hvc_bfin_jtag drivers serial: remove tile uart driver serial: remove m32r_sio driver serial: remove blackfin drivers serial: remove cris/etrax uart drivers usb: Remove Blackfin references in USB support usb: isp1362: remove blackfin arch glue usb: musb: remove blackfin port usb: host: remove tilegx platform glue pwm: remove pwm-bfin driver i2c: remove bfin-twi driver spi: remove blackfin related host drivers watchdog: remove bfin_wdt driver can: remove bfin_can driver mmc: remove bfin_sdh driver input: misc: remove blackfin rotary driver input: keyboard: remove bf54x driver ...

Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply propagates __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() is trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already grabbed the 'fake' lock. The /* this guy won't enter reclaim */ if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC)) return false; test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock was added by commit cf40bd16fdad ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS)"). But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread won't enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit 341ce06f69ab ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once") added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard ( /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */ if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) goto nopage; in __alloc_pages_slowpath()). Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and allow __need_fs_reclaim() to return false.

Commit 864b75f9d6b0 ("mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment") modified the logic in memmap_init_zone() to initialize struct pages associated with invalid PFNs, to appease a VM_BUG_ON() in move_freepages(), which is redundant by its own admission, and dereferences struct page fields to obtain the zone without checking whether the struct pages in question are valid to begin with. Commit 864b75f9d6b0 only makes it worse, since the rounding it does may cause pfn assume the same value it had in a prior iteration of the loop, resulting in an infinite loop and a hang very early in the boot. Also, since it doesn't perform the same rounding on start_pfn itself but only on intermediate values following an invalid PFN, we may still hit the same VM_BUG_ON() as before. So instead, let's fix this at the core, and ensure that the BUG check doesn't dereference struct page fields of invalid pages.

This commit has changed the way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it from the allocation time to the initialization time. This works properly for the early memmap init path. It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark page as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later initialize it completely during onlining. memmap_init_zone is called in the early stage of onlining. With the current code it calls __init_single_page and as such it clears up the whole stage and therefore online_pages_range skips those pages. Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for memory hotplug path. This is quite uggly but unifying both early init and memory hotplug init paths is a large project. Make sure we plug the regression at least.

* | | mm: split deferred_init_range into initializing and freeing partsPavel Tatashin2018-01-311-70/+76
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In deferred_init_range() we initialize struct pages, and also free them to buddy allocator. We do it in separate loops, because buddy page is computed ahead, so we do not want to access a struct page that has not been initialized yet. There is still, however, a corner case where it is potentially possible to access uninitialized struct page: this is when buddy page is from the next memblock range. This patch fixes this problem by splitting deferred_init_range() into two functions: one to initialize struct pages, and another to free them. In addition, this patch brings the following improvements: - Get rid of __def_free() helper function. And simplifies loop logic by adding a new pfn validity check function: deferred_pfn_valid(). - Reduces number of variables that we track. So, there is a higher chance that we will avoid using stack to store/load variables inside hot loops. - Enables future multi-threading of these functions: do initialization in multiple threads, wait for all threads to finish, do freeing part in multithreading. Tested on x86 with 1T of memory to make sure no regressions are introduced.

The reason is some efi reserved boot ranges is not reported in E820 ram. In my case it is a bgrt buffer: efi: mem00: [Boot Data |RUN| | | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000000d2c41000-0x00000000d2c85fff] (0MB) Use "add_efi_memmap" can workaround the problem with another fix: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171130052327.GA3500@dhcp-128-65.nay.redhat.com In zero_resv_unavail it would be better to check pfn_valid first before zero the page struct. This fixes the problem and potential other similar problems. Also as Pavel Tatashin suggested checks pfn_valid at the beginning of the section. The range is backed by real memory. The memory range is efi "Boot Service Data", that means after ExitBootServices() these ranges can be used as system ram. But some of them need to be reserved, for example the bgrt image address in an acpi table, if the image memory is freed then kexec reboot will fail because kexec inherit same acpi table to initialize the driver.

* mm/page_alloc.c: avoid excessive IRQ disabled times in free_unref_page_list()Lucas Stach2017-12-141-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 9cca35d42eb6 ("mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pages") we see excessive IRQ disabled times of up to 25ms on an embedded ARM system (tracing overhead included). This is due to graphics buffers being freed back to the system via release_pages(). Graphics buffers can be huge, so it's not hard to hit cases where the list of pages to free has 2048 entries. Disabling IRQs while freeing all those pages is clearly not a good idea. Introduce a batch limit, which allows IRQ servicing once every few pages. The batch count is the same as used in other parts of the MM subsystem when dealing with IRQ disabled regions.

* mm/cma: fix alloc_contig_range ret code/potential leakMike Kravetz2017-11-291-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the call __alloc_contig_migrate_range() in alloc_contig_range returns -EBUSY, processing continues so that test_pages_isolated() is called where there is a tracepoint to identify the busy pages. However, it is possible for busy pages to become available between the calls to these two routines. In this case, the range of pages may be allocated. Unfortunately, the original return code (ret == -EBUSY) is still set and returned to the caller. Therefore, the caller believes the pages were not allocated and they are leaked. Update the comment to indicate that allocation is still possible even if __alloc_contig_migrate_range returns -EBUSY. Also, clear return code in this case so that it is not accidentally used or returned to caller.

* mm, memory_hotplug: do not back off draining pcp free pages from kworker contextMichal Hocko2017-11-291-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | drain_all_pages backs off when called from a kworker context since commit 0ccce3b92421 ("mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue context") because the original IPI based pcp draining has been replaced by a WQ based one and the check wanted to prevent from recursion and inter workers dependencies. This has made some sense at the time because the system WQ has been used and one worker holding the lock could be blocked while waiting for new workers to emerge which can be a problem under OOM conditions. Since then commit ce612879ddc7 ("mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq") has moved draining to a dedicated (mm_percpu_wq) WQ with a rescuer so we shouldn't depend on any other WQ activity to make a forward progress so calling drain_all_pages from a worker context is safe as long as this doesn't happen from mm_percpu_wq itself which is not the case because all workers are required to _not_ depend on any MM locks. Why is this a problem in the first place? ACPI driven memory hot-remove (acpi_device_hotplug) is executed from the worker context. We end up calling __offline_pages to free all the pages and that requires both lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked and drain_all_pages to do their job otherwise we can have dangling pages on pcp lists and fail the offline operation (__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock would see a page with 0 ref count but without PageBuddy set). Fix the issue by removing the worker check in drain_all_pages. lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked doesn't have this restriction so it works as expected.

* mm, compaction: split off flag for not updating skip hintsVlastimil Babka2017-11-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which shares core code with CMA. Since CMA reliability would suffer from the heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA use case. Since 6815bf3f233e ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update* the skip hints in addition to ignoring them. Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation fails in such case. Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets. This should improve the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit handling as the next step.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP free_area_init_node() calls alloc_node_mem_map(), but this function does nothing unless we have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP.

This also moves the printk that lays within the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" block from free_area_init_node() to alloc_node_mem_map(), getting rid of the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" in free_area_init_node().

* mm: simplify nodemask printingMichal Hocko2017-11-151-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask which forces both paths to use pr_cont. We can do better. printk already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully. This allows simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of pr_cont altogether. This patch has been motivated by patch from Joe Perches http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b31236dfe3fc924054fd7842bde678e71d193638.1509991345.git.joe@perches.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix tile warning, per Arnd] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171109100531.3cn2hcqnuj7mjaju@dhcp22.suse.cz Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculationPavel Tatashin2017-11-151-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also pages for reserved memory in this node. The reserved memory is determined in this function: memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit() assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page count. The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

* mm: don't warn about allocations which stall for too longTetsuo Handa2017-11-151-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 63f53dea0c98 ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up problem caused by memory allocation stalls. But this commit reverts it, for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous warning approach. Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the context of a thread which called console_unlock(). printk() should be able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues appending to printk() buffer. Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process() is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force oom_kill_process() loop inside printk(). As a result, warn_alloc() significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process() from making forward progress. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- Before warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } goto retry; After warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else if (waited_for_10seconds()) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds, unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same time. Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU resource. Therefore, this situation can be simplified like ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log. One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress. Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable form. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock); while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); } } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and warn_alloc(). Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g. too late [1], too frequent [2], overlooked [3]). As far as I know, warn_alloc() never helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong". I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g. the owner of oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions (e.g. turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose). This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g. OOM lockup due to unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request. But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit warning. Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().
