* mm: add comment on swap_duplicate's error codeHugh Dickins2010-03-061-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | swap_duplicate()'s loop appears to miss out on returning the error code from __swap_duplicate(), except when that's -ENOMEM. In fact this is intentional: prior to -ENOMEM for swap_count_continuation, swap_duplicate() was void (and the case only occurs when copy_one_pte() hits a corrupt pte). But that's surprising behaviour, which certainly deserves a comment.

* vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only onceJohannes Weiner2010-03-062-13/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VM currently assumes that an inactive, mapped and referenced file page is in use and promotes it to the active list. However, every mapped file page starts out like this and thus a problem arises when workloads create a stream of such pages that are used only for a short time. By flooding the active list with those pages, the VM quickly gets into trouble finding eligible reclaim canditates. The result is long allocation latencies and eviction of the wrong pages. This patch reuses the PG_referenced page flag (used for unmapped file pages) to implement a usage detection that scales with the speed of LRU list cycling (i.e. memory pressure). If the scanner encounters those pages, the flag is set and the page cycled again on the inactive list. Only if it returns with another page table reference it is activated. Otherwise it is reclaimed as 'not recently used cache'. This effectively changes the minimum lifetime of a used-once mapped file page from a full memory cycle to an inactive list cycle, which allows it to occur in linear streams without affecting the stable working set of the system.

* vmscan: drop page_mapping_inuse()Johannes Weiner2010-03-061-23/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | page_mapping_inuse() is a historic predicate function for pages that are about to be reclaimed or deactivated. According to it, a page is in use when it is mapped into page tables OR part of swap cache OR backing an mmapped file. This function is used in combination with page_referenced(), which checks for young bits in ptes and the page descriptor itself for the PG_referenced bit. Thus, checking for unmapped swap cache pages is meaningless as PG_referenced is not set for anonymous pages and unmapped pages do not have young ptes. The test makes no difference. Protecting file pages that are not by themselves mapped but are part of a mapped file is also a historic leftover for short-lived things like the exec() code in libc. However, the VM now does reference accounting and activation of pages at unmap time and thus the special treatment on reclaim is obsolete. This patch drops page_mapping_inuse() and switches the two callsites to use page_mapped() directly.

* vmscan: factor out page reference checksJohannes Weiner2010-03-061-13/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The used-once mapped file page detection patchset. It is meant to help workloads with large amounts of shortly used file mappings, like rtorrent hashing a file or git when dealing with loose objects (git gc on a bigger site?). Right now, the VM activates referenced mapped file pages on first encounter on the inactive list and it takes a full memory cycle to reclaim them again. When those pages dominate memory, the system no longer has a meaningful notion of 'working set' and is required to give up the active list to make reclaim progress. Obviously, this results in rather bad scanning latencies and the wrong pages being reclaimed. This patch makes the VM be more careful about activating mapped file pages in the first place. The minimum granted lifetime without another memory access becomes an inactive list cycle instead of the full memory cycle, which is more natural given the mentioned loads. This test resembles a hashing rtorrent process. Sequentially, 32MB chunks of a file are mapped into memory, hashed (sha1) and unmapped again. While this happens, every 5 seconds a process is launched and its execution time taken: python2.4 -c 'import pydoc' old: max=2.31s mean=1.26s (0.34) new: max=1.25s mean=0.32s (0.32) find /etc -type f old: max=2.52s mean=1.44s (0.43) new: max=1.92s mean=0.12s (0.17) vim -c ':quit' old: max=6.14s mean=4.03s (0.49) new: max=3.48s mean=2.41s (0.25) mplayer --help old: max=8.08s mean=5.74s (1.02) new: max=3.79s mean=1.32s (0.81) overall hash time (stdev): old: time=1192.30 (12.85) thruput=25.78mb/s (0.27) new: time=1060.27 (32.58) thruput=29.02mb/s (0.88) (-11%) I also tested kernbench with regular IO streaming in the background to see whether the delayed activation of frequently used mapped file pages had a negative impact on performance in the presence of pressure on the inactive list. The patch made no significant difference in timing, neither for kernbench nor for the streaming IO throughput. The first patch submission raised concerns about the cost of the extra faults for actually activated pages on machines that have no hardware support for young page table entries. I created an artificial worst case scenario on an ARM machine with around 300MHz and 64MB of memory to figure out the dimensions involved. The test would mmap a file of 20MB, then 1. touch all its pages to fault them in 2. force one full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU -- old: mapping pages activated -- new: mapping pages inactive 3. touch the mapping pages again -- old and new: fault exceptions to set the young bits 4. force another full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU 5. touch the mapping pages one last time -- new: fault exceptions to set the young bits The test showed an overall increase of 6% in time over 100 iterations of the above (old: ~212sec, new: ~225sec). 13 secs total overhead / (100 * 5k pages), ignoring the execution time of the test itself, makes for about 25us overhead for every page that gets actually activated. Note: 1. File mapping the size of one third of main memory, _completely_ in active use across memory pressure - i.e., most pages referenced within one LRU cycle. This should be rare to non-existant, especially on such embedded setups. 2. Many huge activation batches. Those batches only occur when the working set fluctuates. If it changes completely between every full LRU cycle, you have problematic reclaim overhead anyway. 3. Access of activated pages at maximum speed: sequential loads from every single page without doing anything in between. In reality, the extra faults will get distributed between actual operations on the data. So even if a workload manages to get the VM into the situation of activating a third of memory in one go on such a setup, it will take 2.2 seconds instead 2.1 without the patch. Comparing the numbers (and my user-experience over several months), I think this change is an overall improvement to the VM. Patch 1 is only refactoring to break up that ugly compound conditional in shrink_page_list() and make it easy to document and add new checks in a readable fashion. Patch 2 gets rid of the obsolete page_mapping_inuse(). It's not strictly related to #3, but it was in the original submission and is a net simplification, so I kept it. Patch 3 implements used-once detection of mapped file pages. This patch: Moving the big conditional into its own predicate function makes the code a bit easier to read and allows for better commenting on the checks one-by-one. This is just cleaning up, no semantics should have been changed.

* mm: suppress pfn range output for zones without pagesDavid Rientjes2010-03-061-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | free_area_init_nodes() emits pfn ranges for all zones on the system. There may be no pages on a higher zone, however, due to memory limitations or the use of the mem= kernel parameter. For example: Zone PFN ranges: DMA 0x00000001 -> 0x00001000 DMA32 0x00001000 -> 0x00100000 Normal 0x00100000 -> 0x00100000 The implementation copies the previous zone's highest pfn, if any, as the next zone's lowest pfn. If its highest pfn is then greater than the amount of addressable memory, the upper memory limit is used instead. Thus, both the lowest and highest possible pfn for higher zones without memory may be the same. The pfn range for zones without memory is now shown as "empty" instead.

* mm/swapfile.c: fix swapon size off-by-oneHugh Dickins2010-03-061-13/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's an off-by-one disagreement between mkswap and swapon about the meaning of swap_header last_page: mkswap (in all versions I've looked at: util-linux-ng and BusyBox and old util-linux; probably as far back as 1999) consistently means the offset (in page units) of the last page of the swap area, whereas kernel sys_swapon (as far back as 2.2 and 2.3) strangely takes it to mean the size (in page units) of the swap area. This disagreement is the safe way round; but it's worrying people, and loses us one page of swap. The fix is not just to add one to nr_good_pages: we need to get maxpages (the size of the swap_map array) right before that; and though that is an unsigned long, be careful not to overflow the unsigned int p->max which later holds it (probably why header uses __u32 last_page instead of size). Why did we subtract one from the maximum swp_offset to calculate maxpages? Though it was probably me who made that change in 2.4.10, I don't get it: and now we should be adding one (without risk of overflow in this case). Fix the handling of swap_header badpages: it could have overrun the swap_map when very large swap area used on a more limited architecture. Remove pre-initializations of swap_header, nr_good_pages and maxpages: those date from when sys_swapon was supporting other versions of header.

* mm: remove VM_LOCK_RMAP codeRik van Riel2010-03-062-27/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a VMA is in an inconsistent state during setup or teardown, the worst that can happen is that the rmap code will not be able to find the page. The mapping is in the process of being torn down (PTEs just got invalidated by munmap), or set up (no PTEs have been instantiated yet). It is also impossible for the rmap code to follow a pointer to an already freed VMA, because the rmap code holds the anon_vma->lock, which the VMA teardown code needs to take before the VMA is removed from the anon_vma chain. Hence, we should not need the VM_LOCK_RMAP locking at all.

* rmap: move exclusively owned pages to own anon_vma in do_wp_page()Rik van Riel2010-03-062-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the parent process breaks the COW on a page, both the original which is mapped at child and the new page which is mapped parent end up in that same anon_vma. Generally this won't be a problem, but for some workloads it could preserve the O(N) rmap scanning complexity. A simple fix is to ensure that, when a page which is mapped child gets reused in do_wp_page, because we already are the exclusive owner, the page gets moved to our own exclusive child's anon_vma.

* mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issueRik van Riel2010-03-067-76/+248
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

* readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOMWu Fengguang2010-03-062-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance: a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads. In other places, ra_pages==0 means - it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs - some IO error happened where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided. POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the *heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully submit read IO for whatever application requests. So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM. Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance noticeably. And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO size is not limited by read_ahead_kb). In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall (NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!

The get_freepointer() and set_freepointer() functions that used to be only intended for the slow path now are also useful for the hot path since access to the size field does not require accessing an additional cacheline anymore.

These could get quite big if we have to support systems with thousands of cpus. The use of this_cpu_xx operations results in: 1. The size of kmem_cache for SMP configuration shrinks since we will only need 1 pointer instead of NR_CPUS. The same pointer can be used by all processors. Reduces cache footprint of the allocator. 2. We can dynamically size kmem_cache according to the actual nodes in the system meaning less memory overhead for configurations that may potentially support up to 1k NUMA nodes / 4k cpus. 3. We can remove the diddle widdle with allocating and releasing of kmem_cache_cpu structures when bringing up and shutting down cpus. The cpu alloc logic will do it all for us. Removes some portions of the cpu hotplug functionality. 4. Fastpath performance increases since per cpu pointer lookups and address calculations are avoided.

When refilling from the shared array (taking objects from the shared array), we are making use of the shared array so it should be marked as touched. Subsequently pulling an element from the cpu array and allocating it should also touch the cpu array, but that is taken care of after the alloc_done label. (So yes, the cpu array was getting touched = 1 twice). So revert this logic to how it worked in earlier kernels. This also affects the behaviour in __drain_alien_cache, which would previously 'touch' the shared array and now does not. I think it is more logical not to touch there, because we are pushing objects into the shared array rather than pulling them off. So there is no good reason to postpone reaping them -- if the shared array is getting utilized, then it will get 'touched' in the alloc path (where this patch now restores the touch).

In order to preserve default behavior cache filter is off by default (all caches are faulty). One may define specific set of slabs like this: # mark skbuff_head_cache as faulty echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/skbuff_head_cache/failslab # Turn on cache filter (off by default) echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/cache-filter # Turn on fault injection echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/times echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/probability Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>
