| * mm: slub: work around unneeded lockdep warningDave Hansen2014-01-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The slub code does some setup during early boot in early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() with some local data. There is no possible way that another CPU can see this data, so the slub code doesn't unnecessarily lock it. However, some new lockdep asserts check to make sure that add_partial() _always_ has the list_lock held. Just add the locking, even though it is technically unnecessary.

The bug was introduced by commit 49e2258586b423684f03c278149ab46d8f8b6700 ("slub: per cpu cache for partial pages"). We should use page->pages instead of page->pobjects when calculating the number of cpu partial slabs. This also fixes the mapping of slabs and nodes. As there's no variable storing the number of total/active objects in cpu partial slabs, and we don't have user interfaces requiring those statistics, I just add WARN_ON for those cases.

* | memcg: fix mutex not unlocked on memcg_create_kmem_cache fail pathVladimir Davydov2014-01-301-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 842e2873697e ("memcg: get rid of kmem_cache_dup()") introduced a mutex for memcg_create_kmem_cache() to protect the tmp_name buffer that holds the memcg name. It failed to unlock the mutex if this buffer could not be allocated. This patch fixes the issue by appropriately unlocking the mutex if the allocation fails.

* | mm, oom: base root bonus on current usageDavid Rientjes2014-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to other processes. With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.

* | mm/slub.c: fix page->_count corruption (again)Dave Hansen2014-01-301-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit abca7c496584 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except when using a real double-cmpxchg. Doing so can lose updates to ->_count. That is an absolute rule: You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg. Commit abca7c496584 fixed this for the folks who have the slub cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case alone. It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two cases: 1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on the distro kernels that I looked at. 2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64 cpus, evidently) There are at least 3 ways we could fix this: 1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and __cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new and target 'struct page'. 2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'. 3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}. I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code. This patch is an attempt at (3). This was the most straightforward and foolproof way that I could think to do this. This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly #if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && \ defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE) in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that 'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As a result of commit 5606e3877ad8 ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as "prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file. This should only be printed when the mempolicy of <pid> is MPOL_PREFERRED for node N. If the process is actually only using the default mempolicy for local node allocation, make sure "default" is printed as expected.

* | zsmalloc: move it under mmMinchan Kim2014-01-303-0/+1131
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory. Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom allocator. Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations. zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to achieve these design goals. zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or "size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory pressure. Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage. This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size, the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover space. This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being directly addressable by the user. The user is given an non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages. The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly [sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com: borrow Seth's quote] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: Bob Liu <bob.liu@oracle.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Luigi Semenzato <semenzato@google.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This gets forwarded on to userspace, and results in sys_readahead appearing to succeed in cases that don't make sense (e.g. when called on pipes or sockets). This issue is detected by the LTP readahead01 testcase. As the exact return value of force_page_cache_readahead is currently never used, we can simplify it to return only 0 or -EINVAL (when readpage or readpages is missing). With that in place we can simply forward on the return value of force_page_cache_readahead in do_readahead. This patch performs said change, restoring the expected semantics.

Initially we checked 'err' immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set ignoring the value of 's': out_unlock: ... if (err) { /* report error */ return NULL; } return s; Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3abb5e ("slab: do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to: out_unlock: ... if (err && !memcg) { /* report error */ return NULL; } return s; As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap. Obviously, commit f717eb3abb5e intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the check should look like this: out_unlock: ... if (err) { if (!memcg) return NULL; /* report error */ return NULL; } return s; [rientjes@google.com: despaghettification] [vdavydov@parallels.com: patch monkeying] Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Whether that is good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem. In that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large portion of the cache pages to be dirtied. As kswapd starts rotating these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO. Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

Around 50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk (rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition. : The problem was pretty ridiculous. It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k : rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every : several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive : either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which : allocates about the same amount of anon memory. Although swap usage was : zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too. : : The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/ : heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this : is happening in the wild too. (this can happen with copying large files : to usb sticks too, right?) This patch (of 2): The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache allocations. As a result, it has to be taken into account when calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable. In that case, at least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable. Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top.

So I think it is probably time to send this via some suitable tree. I'm guessing that the vfs tree would be the most appropriate route, but not sure that there is one at the moment (don't see anything recent at kernel.org) so in that case I think -mm is the "back up plan". Al, please let me know if you will take this? Steve. --------------------- Following on from the "Re: [PATCH v3] vfs: fix a bug when we do some dio reads with append dio writes" thread on linux-fsdevel, this patch is my current version of the fix proposed as option (b) in that thread. Removing the i_size test from the direct i/o read path at vfs level means that filesystems now have to deal with requests which are beyond i_size themselves. These I've divided into three sets: a) Those with "no op" ->direct_IO (9p, cifs, ceph) These are obviously not going to be an issue b) Those with "home brew" ->direct_IO (nfs, fuse) I've been told that NFS should not have any problem with the larger i_size, however I've added an extra test to FUSE to duplicate the original behaviour just to be on the safe side. c) Those using __blockdev_direct_IO() These call through to ->get_block() which should deal with the EOF condition correctly. I've verified that with GFS2 and I believe that Zheng has verified it for ext4. I've also run the test on XFS and it passes both before and after this change. The part of the patch in filemap.c looks a lot larger than it really is - there are only two lines of real change. The rest is just indentation of the contained code. There remains a test of i_size though, which was added for btrfs. It doesn't cause the other filesystems a problem as the test is performed after ->direct_IO has been called. It is possible that there is a race that does matter to btrfs, however this patch doesn't change that, so its still an overall improvement.

We still need to make sure we use the numa faulting logic only when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set. This implies the migrate-on-fault (Lazy migration) via mbind will only work if CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.

A part of that change was dropping an optimization which didn't call css_tryget on the root of the walked tree. The patch however didn't change the css_put part in mem_cgroup_iter which excludes root. This wasn't an issue at the time because __mem_cgroup_iter_next bailed out for root early without taking a reference as cgroup iterators (css_next_descendant_pre) didn't visit root themselves. Nevertheless cgroup iterators have been reworked to visit root by commit bd8815a6d802 ("cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration") when the root bypass have been dropped in __mem_cgroup_iter_next. This means that css_put is not called for root and so css along with mem_cgroup and other cgroup internal object tied by css lifetime are never freed. Fix the issue by reintroducing root check in __mem_cgroup_iter_next and do not take css reference for it. This reference counting magic protects us also from another issue, an endless loop reported by Hugh Dickins when reclaim races with root removal and css_tryget called by iterator internally would fail. There would be no other nodes to visit so __mem_cgroup_iter_next would return NULL and mem_cgroup_iter would interpret it as "start looping from root again" and so mem_cgroup_iter would loop forever internally.

This patch fixes the issue by skipping css_tryget on the root of the tree walk in mem_cgroup_iter_load and symmetrically doesn't release it in mem_cgroup_iter_update.

So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: mm/ksm.c bool KSM mm/mmap.c bool MMU mm/huge_memory.c bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE mm/mmu_notifier.c bool MMU_NOTIFIER Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual init functions themselves, we see things like: mm/huge_memory.c --> hugepage_init --> hugepage_init_sysfs mm/mmap.c --> init_user_reserve --> sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes mm/ksm.c --> ksm_init --> sysfs_create_group and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too drastically all at once. We can adjust further in the future. Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

Currently the mm_kobj is created with __initcall in mm_sysfs_init(). This means that any other initcalls that want to reference the mm_kobj have to be device_initcall (or later), otherwise we will for example, trip the BUG_ON(!kobj) in sysfs's internal_create_group(). This unfairly restricts those users; for example something that clearly makes sense to be an arch_initcall will not be able to choose that. However, upon examination, it is only this way for historical reasons (i.e. simply not reprioritized yet). We see that sysfs is ready quite earlier in init/main.c via: vfs_caches_init |_ mnt_init |_ sysfs_init well ahead of the processing of the prioritized calls listed above. So we can recategorize mm_sysfs_init to be a pure_initcall, which in turn allows any mm_kobj initcall users a wider range (1 --> 7) of initcall priorities to choose from.

Sometimes, this will change the value which was set by the user. Showing this message will clarify this confusion. Only show this message when changing a value which was set by the user according to Michal Hocko's suggestion. Show the old value of min_free_kbytes according to Dave Hansen's suggestion. This will give user the chance to restore old value of min_free_kbytes.

Also register_memory_resource return NULL on failure so we don't have anything to cleanup at this point. The reason for this rfc is I was doing some experiments with hotplugging of memory on some of our larger systems. While it seems to work, it can be quite slow. With some preliminary digging I found that lock_memory_hotplug is clearly ripe for breakup. It could be broken up per nid or something but it also covers the online_page_callback. The online_page_callback shouldn't be very hard to break out. Also there is the issue of various structures(wmarks come to mind) that are only updated under the lock_memory_hotplug that would need to be dealt with.
