Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem. The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a warning is emitted. The next patches fix up several in-tree users of ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types. This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only on scalar types. This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux next already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs. non-scalar types" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/borntraeger/linux: s390/kvm: REPLACE barrier fixup with READ_ONCE arm/spinlock: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE arm64/spinlock: Replace ACCESS_ONCE READ_ONCE mips/gup: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE x86/gup: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE x86/spinlock: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE mm: replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE or barriers kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
| * mm: replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE or barriersChristian Borntraeger2014-12-183-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145) Let's change the code to access the page table elements with READ_ONCE that does implicit scalar accesses for the gup code. mm_find_pmd is tricky, because m68k and sparc(32bit) define pmd_t as array of longs. This code requires just that the pmd_present and pmd_trans_huge check are done on the same value, so a barrier is sufficent. A similar case is in handle_pte_fault. On ppc44x the word size is 32 bit, but a pte is 64 bit. A barrier is ok as well. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Acked-by: Paul E.

With the more and more functions added, we may meet below inconvenience. For example: Current functions: void zs_init() { } static void get_maxobj_per_zspage() { } Then I want to add a func_1() which is called from zs_init(), and this new added function func_1() will used get_maxobj_per_zspage() which is defined below zs_init(). void func_1() { get_maxobj_per_zspage() } void zs_init() { func_1() } static void get_maxobj_per_zspage() { } This will cause compiling issue. So we must add a declaration: static void get_maxobj_per_zspage(); before func_1() if we do not put get_maxobj_per_zspage() before func_1(). In addition, puting module_[init|exit] functions at the bottom of the file conforms to our habit. So, this patch ajusts function sequence as: /* helper functions */ ... obj_location_to_handle() ... /* Some exported functions */ ... zs_map_object() zs_unmap_object() zs_malloc() zs_free() zs_init() zs_exit() Signed-off-by: Ganesh Mahendran <opensource.ganesh@gmail.com> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Memory: 458840k/458840k available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem When CMA is enabled, still the total reserved memory remains the same. However, the CMA memory is not considered as reserved. But, when we see /proc/meminfo, the CMA memory is part of free memory. This creates confusion. This patch corrects the problem by properly subtracting the CMA reserved memory from the total reserved memory in dmesg logs. Below is the dmesg snapshot from an arm based device with 512MB RAM and 12MB single CMA region.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Hansen reports that commit fb7332a9fedf ("mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic code") caused a performance problem: "tlb_finish_mmu() goes up about 9x in the profiles (~0.4%->3.6%) and tlb_flush_mmu_free() takes about 3.1% of CPU time with the patch applied, but does not show up at all on the commit before" and the reason is that Will moved the test for whether we need to flush from tlb_flush_mmu() into tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(). But that meant that tlb_flush_mmu_free() basically lost that check. Move it back into tlb_flush_mmu() where it belongs, so that it covers both tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() _and_ tlb_flush_mmu_free().

Let me start with the one I tried to solve in the beginning. So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks' state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without the MAP_FIXED flag). To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo() calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library accesses memory for aio meta-data. So, to make restore work we need to make sure that a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address b) kioctx->user_id matches this value Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values. Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail. If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context, the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address. This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other vma get unexpectedly unmapped. What do you think?

The memory allocated for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to other allocated objects. This only works for memory that is mapped into the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for most CMA regions. Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects. Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem. Perhaps a more appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel virtual address?

While checking other nodes we respect cpuset constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed. We enforce hardwall check. As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set. However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations, so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case. Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator.

Before invoking the reclaimer it tries to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists. While iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which hardwall cpuset check returns false for. That means that for a task bound to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default). As a result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes, which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully. To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly experiences memory pressure. Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as reported by /proc/slabinfo. To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc.

And Minchan Kim found zsmalloc even does not support allocating an obj with the size of ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE in some situations. For example: In system with 64KB PAGE_SIZE and 32 bit of physical addr. Then: ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE is 32 bytes which is calculated by: MAX(32, (ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE << PAGE_SHIFT >> OBJ_INDEX_BITS)) ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE is 64KB(in current code, is PAGE_SIZE) ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA is 256 bytes So, ZS_SIZE_CLASSES = (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE - ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE) / ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA + 1 = 256 In zs_create_pool(), the max size obj which can be allocated will be: ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE + i * ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA = 32 + 255*256 = 65312 We can see that 65312 < 65536 (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE). So we can NOT allocate objs with size ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE(65536) which we promise upper users we can do.

However, some pieces of code in zsmalloc uses modified address, not the one got by kmap_atomic for kunmap_atomic. It's okay for working because zsmalloc modifies the address inner PAGE_SIZE bounday so it works with current kmap_atomic's implementation. But it's still fragile with potential changing of kmap_atomic so let's correct it. I got a subtle bug when I implemented a new feature of zsmalloc (compaction) due to a link's mishandling (the link was over page boundary). Although it was totally my mistake, it took a while to find the cause because an unpredictable kmapped address was unmapped causing an almost random crash.

And, zsmalloc has constraint that each zspage has 4 pages at maximum. In this situation, we can see interesting aspect. Let's think about size_class for 1488, 1472, ..., 1376. To prevent external fragmentation, they uses 4 pages per zspage and so all they can contain 11 objects at maximum. 16384 (4096 * 4) = 1488 * 11 + remains 16384 (4096 * 4) = 1472 * 11 + remains 16384 (4096 * 4) = ... 16384 (4096 * 4) = 1376 * 11 + remains It means that they have same characteristics and classification between them isn't needed. If we use one size_class for them, we can reduce fragementation and save some memory since both the 1488 and 1472 sized classes can only fit 11 objects into 4 pages, and an object that's 1472 bytes can fit into an object that's 1488 bytes, merging these classes to always use objects that are 1488 bytes will reduce the total number of size classes. And reducing the total number of size classes reduces overall fragmentation, because a wider range of compressed pages can fit into a single size class, leaving less unused objects in each size class. For this purpose, this patch implement size_class merging. If there is size_class that have same pages_per_zspage and same number of objects per zspage with previous size_class, we don't create new size_class. Instead, we use previous, same characteristic size_class. With this way, above example sizes (1488, 1472, ..., 1376) use just one size_class so we can get much more memory utilization.

Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline to css free. As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup is freed. This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though. Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path, but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in memcg_kmem_get_cache. Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory cgroups with kmem accounting enabled. I don't think we can find a way to handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.

As much as I dislike comment patches, the explanation for this behaviour predates current git history.

Change the PF_EXITING checks to take SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP into account, we add the new trivial helper for that. Note: this is only the first step, this patch doesn't try to solve other problems. The SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is obviously racy, a task can participate in coredump after it was already observed in PF_EXITING state, so TIF_MEMDIE (which also blocks oom-killer) still can be wrongly set. fatal_signal_pending() can be true because of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP so out_of_memory() and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() shouldn't blindly trust it. And even the name/usage of the new helper is confusing, an exiting thread can only free its ->mm if it is the only/last task in thread group.

But nowadays compaction often applies them to unmapped page cache pages: which may exacerbate contention on i_mmap_rwsem quite unnecessarily, since try_to_unmap_file() makes no preliminary page_mapped() check. Now check page_mapped() in __unmap_and_move(); and avoid repeating the same overhead in rmap_walk_file() - don't remove_migration_ptes() when we never inserted any. (The PageAnon(page) comment blocks now look even sillier than before, but clean that up on some other occasion. And note in passing that try_to_unmap_one() does not use a migration entry when PageSwapCache, so remove_migration_ptes() will then not update that swap entry to newpage pte: not a big deal, but something else to clean up later.) Davidlohr remarked in "mm,fs: introduce helpers around the i_mmap_mutex" conversion to i_mmap_rwsem, that "The biggest winner of these changes is migration": a part of the reason might be all of that unnecessary taking of i_mmap_mutex in page migration; and it's rather a shame that I didn't get around to sending this patch in before his - this one is much less useful after Davidlohr's conversion to rwsem, but still good.

This is redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well. Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication. Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value. Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot zone. For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much duplication of both code and runtime work. This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes. Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

Until initialization, many pages can be allocated and they have no owner information. This make debugging using page owner harder, so some fixup will be helpful. This patch fixes up this situation by setting fake owner information immediately after page extension is initialized. Information doesn't tell the right owner, but, at least, it can tell whether page is allocated or not, more correctly. On my testing, this patch catches 13343 early allocated pages, although they are mostly allocated from page extension feature. Anyway, after then, there is no page left that it is allocated and has no page owner flag.

It is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature. This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and analyze it from this stored information. In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime without considerable memory waste. Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free, using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched. And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug. Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature using this interface. I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature, but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

This is really painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we can't use this good feature in many cases. Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our development process greatly. This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of page_ext. This patch implements this.

For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But, this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous situation. This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and solve related problems. Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so this patch resurrect it. To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in code comment. Please refer it. Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.
