arm: set the page table freeing ceiling to TASK_SIZE

ARM processors with LPAE enabled use 3 levels of page tables, with an
entry in the top level (pgd) covering 1GB of virtual space.  Because of
the branch relocation limitations on ARM, the loadable modules are
mapped 16MB below PAGE_OFFSET, making the corresponding 1GB pgd shared
between kernel modules and user space.

If free_pgtables() is called with the default ceiling 0,
free_pgd_range() (and subsequently called functions) also frees the page
table shared between user space and kernel modules (which is normally
handled by the ARM-specific pgd_free() function).  This patch changes
defines the ARM USER_PGTABLES_CEILING to TASK_SIZE when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
is enabled.

Note that the pgd_free() function already checks the presence of the
shared pmd page allocated by pgd_alloc() and frees it, though with
ceiling 0 this wasn't necessary.

On architectures where a pgd entry may be shared between user and kernel

This patch introduces a generic USER_PGTABLES_CEILING that arch code can

memcg: further simplify mem_cgroup_iter

mem_cgroup_iter basically does two things currently.  It takes care of
the house keeping (reference counting, raclaim cookie) and it iterates
through a hierarchy tree (by using cgroup generic tree walk).  The code
would be much more easier to follow if we move the iteration outside of
the function (to __mem_cgrou_iter_next) so the distinction is more
clear.  This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

11 years agomemcg: relax memcg iter caching
Michal Hocko [Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:07:17 +0000 (15:07 -0700)]
memcg: relax memcg iter caching

Now that the per-node-zone-priority iterator caches memory cgroups
rather than their css ids we have to be careful and remove them from the
iterator when they are on the way out otherwise they might live for
unbounded amount of time even though their group is already gone (until
the global/targeted reclaim triggers the zone under priority to find out
the group is dead and let it to find the final rest).

We can fix this issue by relaxing rules for the last_visited memcg.
Instead of taking a reference to the css before it is stored into
iter->last_visited we can just store its pointer and track the number of
removed groups from each memcg's subhierarchy.

This number would be stored into iterator everytime when a memcg is
cached.  If the iter count doesn't match the curent walker root's one we
will start from the root again.  The group counter is incremented
upwards the hierarchy every time a group is removed.

The iter_lock can be dropped because racing iterators cannot leak the
reference anymore as the reference count is not elevated for
last_visited when it is cached.

Locking rules got a bit complicated by this change though.  The iterator
primarily relies on rcu read lock which makes sure that once we see a
valid last_visited pointer then it will be valid for the whole RCU walk.
smp_rmb makes sure that dead_count is read before last_visited and
last_dead_count while smp_wmb makes sure that last_visited is updated
before last_dead_count so the up-to-date last_dead_count cannot point to
an outdated last_visited.  css_tryget then makes sure that the
last_visited is still alive in case the iteration races with the cached
group removal (css is invalidated before mem_cgroup_css_offline
increments dead_count).

In short:
mem_cgroup_iter
 rcu_read_lock()
 dead_count = atomic_read(parent->dead_count)
 smp_rmb()
 if (dead_count != iter->last_dead_count)
  last_visited POSSIBLY INVALID -> last_visited = NULL
 if (!css_tryget(iter->last_visited))
  last_visited DEAD -> last_visited = NULL
 next = find_next(last_visited)
 css_tryget(next)
 css_put(last_visited)  // css would be invalidated and parent->dead_count
  // incremented if this was the last reference
 iter->last_visited = next
 smp_wmb()
 iter->last_dead_count = dead_count
 rcu_read_unlock()

cgroup_rmdir
 cgroup_destroy_locked
  atomic_add(CSS_DEACT_BIAS, &css->refcnt) // subsequent css_tryget fail
   mem_cgroup_css_offline
    mem_cgroup_invalidate_reclaim_iterators
     while(parent = parent_mem_cgroup)
      atomic_inc(parent->dead_count)
  css_put(css) // last reference held by cgroup core

11 years agomemcg: rework mem_cgroup_iter to use cgroup iterators
Michal Hocko [Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:07:15 +0000 (15:07 -0700)]
memcg: rework mem_cgroup_iter to use cgroup iterators

mem_cgroup_iter curently relies on css->id when walking down a group
hierarchy tree.  This is really awkward because the tree walk depends on
the groups creation ordering.  The only guarantee is that a parent node is
visited before its children.

Example:

 1) mkdir -p a a/d a/b/c
 2) mkdir -a a/b/c a/d

Will create the same trees but the tree walks will be different:

 1) a, d, b, c
 2) a, b, c, d

Commit 574bd9f7c7c1 ("cgroup: implement generic child / descendant walk
macros") has introduced generic cgroup tree walkers which provide either
pre-order or post-order tree walk.  This patch converts css->id based
iteration to pre-order tree walk to keep the semantic with the original
iterator where parent is always visited before its subtree.

cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre suggests using post_create and
pre_destroy for proper synchronization with groups addidition resp.
removal.  This implementation doesn't use those because a new memory
cgroup is initialized sufficiently for iteration in mem_cgroup_css_alloc
already and css reference counting enforces that the group is alive for
both the last seen cgroup and the found one resp.  it signals that the
group is dead and it should be skipped.

If the reclaim cookie is used we need to store the last visited group
into the iterator so we have to be careful that it doesn't disappear in
the mean time.  Elevated reference count on the css keeps it alive even
though the group have been removed (parked waiting for the last dput so
that it can be freed).

Per node-zone-prio iter_lock has been introduced to ensure that
css_tryget and iter->last_visited is set atomically.  Otherwise two
racing walkers could both take a references and only one release it
leading to a css leak (which pins cgroup dentry).

11 years agomemcg: keep prev's css alive for the whole mem_cgroup_iter
Michal Hocko [Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:07:14 +0000 (15:07 -0700)]
memcg: keep prev's css alive for the whole mem_cgroup_iter

The patchset tries to make mem_cgroup_iter saner in the way how it walks
hierarchies.  css->id based traversal is far from being ideal as it is not
deterministic because it depends on the creation ordering.  Additional to
that css_id is considered a burden for cgroup maintainers because it is
quite some code and memcg is the last user of it.  After this series only
the swap accounting uses css_id but that one will follow up later.

Diffstat (if we exclude removed/added comments) looks quite
promising. We got rid of some code:

  $ git diff mmotm... | grep -v "^[+-][[:space:]]*[/ ]\*" | diffstat
   b/include/linux/cgroup.h |    3 ---
   kernel/cgroup.c          |   33 ---------------------------------
   mm/memcontrol.c          |    4 +++-
   3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-)

The first patch is just preparatory and it changes when we release css of
the previously returned memcg.  Nothing controlversial.

The second patch is the core of the patchset and it replaces css_get_next
based on css_id by the generic cgroup pre-order.  This brings some
chalanges for the last visited group caching during the reclaim
(mem_cgroup_per_zone::reclaim_iter).  We have to use memcg pointers
directly now which means that we have to keep a reference to those groups'
css to keep them alive.

I also folded iter_lock introduced by https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/3/295
in the previous version into this patch.  Johannes felt the race I was
describing should be mostly harmless and I haven't been able to trigger it
so the lock doesn't deserve its own patch.  It is still needed
temporarily, though, because the reference counting on iter->last_visited
depends on it.  It will go away with the next patch.

The next patch fixups an unbounded cgroup removal holdoff caused by the
elevated css refcount.  The issue has been observed by Ying Han.  Johannes
wasn't impressed by the previous version of the fix
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/8/379) which cleaned up pending references
during mem_cgroup_css_offline when a group is removed.  He has suggested a
different way when the iterator checks whether a cached memcg is still
valid or no.  More on that in the patch but the basic idea is that every
memcg tracks the number removed subgroups and iterator records this number
when a group is cached.  These numbers are checked before
iter->last_visited is about to be used and the iteration is restarted if
it is invalid.

The fourth and fifth patches are an attempt for simplification of the
mem_cgroup_iter.  css juggling is removed and the iteration logic is moved
to a helper so that the reference counting and iteration are separated.

The last patch just removes css_get_next as there is no user for it any
longer.

My testing looked as follows:
        A (use_hierarchy=1, limit_in_bytes=150M)
       /|\
      1 2 3

Children groups were created so that the number is never higher than 3 and
their limits were random between 50-100M.  Each group hosts a kernel build
(starting with tar -xf so the tree is not shared and make -jNUM_CPUs/3)
and terminated after random time - up to 5 minutes) and then it is
removed.

This should exercise both leaf and hierarchical reclaim as well as races
with cgroup removals and debugging messages I added on top proved that.
100 groups were created during the test.

This patch:

css reference counting keeps the cgroup alive even though it has been
already removed.  mem_cgroup_iter relies on this fact and takes a
reference to the returned group.  The reference is then released on the
next iteration or mem_cgroup_iter_break.  mem_cgroup_iter currently
releases the reference right after it gets the last css_id.

This is correct because neither prev's memcg nor cgroup are accessed after
then.  This will change in the next patch so we need to hold the group
alive a bit longer so let's move the css_put at the end of the function.

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136289696323825&w=2

It introduces a helper function free_highmem_page() to free highmem
pages into the buddy system when initializing mm subsystem.
Introduction of free_highmem_page() is one step forward to clean up
accesses and modificaitons of totalhigh_pages, totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages etc. I hope we could remove all references to
totalhigh_pages from the arch/ subdirectory.

We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help
to test this patchset are welcomed!

There are several other parts still under development:
Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
global variable num_physpages.

This patch:

Introduce helper function free_highmem_page(), which will be used by
architectures with HIGHMEM enabled to free highmem pages into the buddy
system.

11 years agomm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages
Jiang Liu [Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:06:21 +0000 (15:06 -0700)]
mm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages

The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501

Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory
initializion.

This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1.

It introduces following common helper functions to simplify
free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures:

adjust_managed_page_count():
will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages,
zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page.

__free_reserved_page():
free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting
page statistics info

free_reserved_page():
free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page
statistics info

mark_page_reserved():
mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info

free_reserved_area():
free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page()

free_initmem_default():
default method to free __init pages.

We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org.  That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures.  So any help to
test this patchset are welcomed!

There are several other parts still under development:
Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages
Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
global variable num_physpages.

This patch:

Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many
architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated
code.  These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code
to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code
much more clear.

direct-io: submit bio after boundary buffer is added to it

sdio->cur_page is added to the bio if sdio->boundary is set.  This is
actually wrong because sdio->boundary means the current buffer is the last

direct-io: fix boundary block handling

When we read/write a file sequentially, we will read/write not only the
data blocks but also the indirect blocks that may not be physically
adjacent to the data blocks.  So filesystems set the BH_Boundary flag to
submit the previous I/O before reading/writing an indirect block.

However the generic direct IO code mishandles buffer_boundary(), setting
sdio->boundary before each submit_page_section() call which results in
sending only one page bios as underlying code thinks this page is the last
in the contiguous extent.  So fix the problem by setting sdio->boundary
only if the current page is really the last one in the mapped extent.

With this patch and "direct-io: submit bio after boundary buffer is added
to it" I've measured about 10% throughput improvement of direct IO reads
on ext3 with SATA harddrive (from 90 MB/s to 100 MB/s).  With ramdisk, the
improvement was about 3-fold (from 350 MB/s to 1.2 GB/s).  For other
filesystems (such as ext4), the improvements won't be as visible because
the frequency of BH_Boundary flag being set is much smaller.

scripts/decodecode: make faulting insn ptr more robust

It can accidentally happen that the faulting insn (the exact instruction
bytes) is repeated a little further on in the trace.  This causes that
same instruction to be tagged twice, see example below.

What we want to do, however, is to track back from the end of the whole
disassembly so many lines as the slice which starts with the faulting
instruction is long.  This leads us to the actual faulting instruction
and *then* we tag it.

While we're at it, we can drop the sed "g" flag because we address only
this one line.

Also, if we point to an instruction which changes decoding depending on
the slice being objdumped, like a Jcc insn, for example, we do not even
tag it as a faulting instruction because the instruction decode changes
in the second slice but we use that second format as a regex on the
fsrst disassembled buffer and more often than not that instruction
doesn't match.

Again, simply tag the line which is deduced from the original "<>"
marking we've received from the kernel.

This also solves the pathologic issue of multiple tagging like this:

  29:*  0f 0b                   ud2         <-- trapping instruction
  2b:*  0f 0b                   ud2         <-- trapping instruction

Merge tag 'char-misc-3.10-rc1' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull char/misc driver update from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big char / misc driver update for 3.10-rc1

  A number of various driver updates, the majority being new
  functionality in the MEI driver subsystem (it's now a subsystem, it
  started out just a single driver), extcon updates, memory updates,
  hyper-v updates, and a bunch of other small stuff that doesn't fit in
  any other tree.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"
