14 years agocpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems

cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems

Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:

(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
  alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1   set new bits
0      clear disallowed bits
  alloc on node1? NO 0
  ...
can't alloc page
  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

14 years agomempolicy: restructure rebinding-mempolicy functions
Miao Xie [Mon, 24 May 2010 21:32:07 +0000 (14:32 -0700)]
mempolicy: restructure rebinding-mempolicy functions

Nick Piggin reported that the allocator may see an empty nodemask when
changing cpuset's mems[1].  It happens only on the kernel that do not do
atomic nodemask_t stores.  (MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG)

But I found that there is also a problem on the kernel that can do atomic
nodemask_t stores.  The problem is that the allocator can't find a node to
alloc page when changing cpuset's mems though there is a lot of free
memory.  The reason is like this:

(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
  alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1   set new bits
0      clear disallowed bits
  alloc on node1? NO 0
  ...
can't alloc page
  goto oom

I can use the attached program reproduce it by the following step:

# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/1
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/cpus` > /dev/cpuset/1/cpus
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/mems` > /dev/cpuset/1/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/1/tasks
# numactl --membind=`cat /dev/cpuset/mems` ./cpuset_mem_hog <nr_tasks> &
   <nr_tasks> = max(nr_cpus - 1, 1)
# killall -s SIGUSR1 cpuset_mem_hog
# ./change_mems.sh

several hours later, oom will happen though there is a lot of free memory.

This patchset fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set
newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So
we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is
reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes
after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

This patch:

In order to fix no node to alloc memory, when we want to update mempolicy
and mems_allowed, we expand the set of nodes first (set all the newly
nodes) and shrink the set of nodes lazily(clean disallowed nodes), But the
mempolicy's rebind functions may breaks the expanding.

So we restructure the mempolicy's rebind functions and split the rebind
work to two steps, just like the update of cpuset's mems: The 1st step:
expand the set of the mempolicy's nodes.  The 2nd step: shrink the set of
the mempolicy's nodes.  It is used when there is no real lock to protect
the mempolicy in the read-side.  Otherwise we can do rebind work at once.

In order to implement it, we define

enum mpol_rebind_step {
MPOL_REBIND_ONCE,
MPOL_REBIND_STEP1,
MPOL_REBIND_STEP2,
MPOL_REBIND_NSTEP,
};

If the mempolicy needn't be updated by two steps, we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_ONCE to the rebind functions.  Or we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP1 to do the first step of the rebind work and pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP2 to do the second step work.

Besides that, it maybe long time between these two step and we have to
release the lock that protects mempolicy and mems_allowed.  If we hold the
lock once again, we must check whether the current mempolicy is under the
rebinding (the first step has been done) or not, because the task may
alloc a new mempolicy when we don't hold the lock.  So we defined the
following flag to identify it:

#define MPOL_F_REBINDING (1 << 2)

The new functions will be used in the next patch.

page allocator: reduce fragmentation in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the free lists

In order to reduce fragmentation, this patch classifies freed pages in two
groups according to their probability of being part of a high order merge.
 Pages belonging to a compound whose next-highest buddy is free are more
likely to be part of a high order merge in the near future, so they will
be added at the tail of the freelist.  The remaining pages are put at the
front of the freelist.

In this way, the pages that are more likely to cause a big merge are kept
free longer.  Consequently there is a tendency to aggregate the
long-living allocations on a subset of the compounds, reducing the
fragmentation.

This heuristic was tested on three machines, x86, x86-64 and ppc64 with
3GB of RAM in each machine.  The tests were kernbench, netperf, sysbench
and STREAM for performance and a high-order stress test for huge page
allocations.

There was a distinct lack of confidence in the X86* figures so I included
what the devation was where the results were not confident.  Many of the
results, whether gains or losses were within the standard deviation so no
solid conclusion can be reached on performance impact.  Looking at the
figures, only the X86-64 ones look suspicious with a few losses that were
outside the noise.  However, the results were so unstable that without
knowing why they vary so much, a solid conclusion cannot be reached.

the results vary by +/- 8% in some cases.  They are the results of most
concern as there are some large losses but it's also within the variance
typically seen between kernel releases.

The STREAM results varied so little and are so verbose that I didn't
include them here.

The final test stressed how many huge pages can be allocated.  The
absolute number of huge pages allocated are the same with or without the
page.  However, the "unusability free space index" which is a measure of
external fragmentation was slightly lower (lower is better) throughout the
lifetime of the system.  I also measured the latency of how long it took
to successfully allocate a huge page.  The latency was slightly lower and
on X86 and PPC64, more huge pages were allocated almost immediately from
the free lists.  The improvement is slight but there.

14 years agotmpfs: insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first
KOSAKI Motohiro [Mon, 24 May 2010 21:31:48 +0000 (14:31 -0700)]
tmpfs: insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first

Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict
streaming IO first").  Wow, It is 2 years old patch!

Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first.  This means
that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
it also reduces anon scanning ratio.  Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confused.  It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
unused tmpfs pages.

Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.

But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
file LRU list.  then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
(2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation.  then to
insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
insert active list.  Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
chun.  but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect
mapped file pages used only once).  (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)

Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

breaks resume from suspend-to-ram on Rafael's Acer Ferrari One.
NetworkManager thinks everything is ok, but it can't connect to the AP
to get an IP address after the resume.

In fact, it even breaks resume for non-ath9k chipsets: reverting it also
fixes Rafael's Toshiba Protege R500 with the iwlagn driver.  As Johannes

  "Indeed, this patch needs to be reverted. That mac80211 change is wrong

timekeeping: Fix timezone update

commit 64ce4c2f (time: Clean up warp_clock()) breaks the timezone
update in a very subtle way. To avoid the direct access to timekeeping
internals it adds the timezone delta to the current time with
timespec_add_safe(). This works nicely when the timezone delta is > 0.
If timezone delta is < 0 then the wrap check in timespec_add_safe()
triggers and timespec_add_safe() returns TIME_MAX and screws up
timekeeping completely.

The comment above timespec_add_safe() says:
    It's assumed that both values are valid (>= 0)

Add the timezone seconds adjustment directly.

Blackfin: optimize strncpy a bit

Add a little strncpy optimization which can easily cut boot time by 20%.

When the kernel is booting with initramfs, it builds up the filesystem
from a cpio archive by calling strncpy_from_user() via fs/namei.c's
do_getname() on every file in the archive (which can be lots) with a
length of PATH_MAX (1024).  This causes the dest of the strncpy to be
padded with many NUL bytes.

This optimization mostly causes these NUL bytes to be padded with a call
to memset() which is already optimized for filling memory quickly, but
the hardware loop helps a little bit as well.
