17 years agomm: prevent kswapd from freeing excessive amounts of lowmem
Rik van Riel [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:50 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
mm: prevent kswapd from freeing excessive amounts of lowmem

The current VM can get itself into trouble fairly easily on systems with a
small ZONE_HIGHMEM, which is common on i686 computers with 1GB of memory.

On one side, page_alloc() will allocate down to zone->pages_low, while on
the other side, kswapd() and balance_pgdat() will try to free memory from
every zone, until every zone has more free pages than zone->pages_high.

Highmem can be filled up to zone->pages_low with page tables, ramfs,
vmalloc allocations and other unswappable things quite easily and without
many bad side effects, since we still have a huge ZONE_NORMAL to do future
allocations from.

However, as long as the number of free pages in the highmem zone is below
zone->pages_high, kswapd will continue swapping things out from
ZONE_NORMAL, too!

Sami Farin managed to get his system into a stage where kswapd had freed
about 700MB of low memory and was still "going strong".

The attached patch will make kswapd stop paging out data from zones when
there is more than enough memory free.  We do go above zone->pages_high in
order to keep pressure between zones equal in normal circumstances, but the
patch should prevent the kind of excesses that made Sami's computer totally
unusable.

17 years agofix the max path calculation in radix-tree.c
Jeff Moyer [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:49 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
fix the max path calculation in radix-tree.c

A while back, Nick Piggin introduced a patch to reduce the node memory
usage for small files (commit cfd9b7df4abd3257c9e381b0e445817b26a51c0c):

-#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT 6
+#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6)

Unfortunately, he didn't take into account the fact that the
calculation of the maximum path was based on an assumption of having
to round up:

#define RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH (RADIX_TREE_INDEX_BITS/RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT + 2)

So, if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is set, you will end up with a
RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH that is one greater than necessary.  The practical
upshot of this is just a bit of wasted memory (one long in the
height_to_maxindex array, an extra pre-allocated radix tree node per
cpu, and extra stack usage in a couple of functions), but it seems
worth getting right.

It's also worth noting that I never build with CONFIG_BASE_SMALL.
What I did to test this was duplicate the code in a small user-space
program and check the results of the calculations for max path and the
contents of the height_to_maxindex array.

17 years agofs: fix nobh error handling

fs: fix nobh error handling

nobh mode error handling is not just pretty slack, it's wrong.

One cannot zero out the whole page to ensure new blocks are zeroed, because
it just brings the whole page "uptodate" with zeroes even if that may not
be the correct uptodate data.  Also, other parts of the page may already
contain dirty data which would get lost by zeroing it out.  Thirdly, the
writeback of zeroes to the new blocks will also erase existing blocks.  All
these conditions are pagecache and/or filesystem corruption.

The problem comes about because we didn't keep track of which buffers
actually are new or old.  However it is not enough just to keep only this
state, because at the point we start dirtying parts of the page (new
blocks, with zeroes), the handling of IO errors becomes impossible without
buffers because the page may only be partially uptodate, in which case the
page flags allone cannot capture the state of the parts of the page.

So allocate all buffers for the page upfront, but leave them unattached so
that they don't pick up any other references and can be freed when we're
done.  If the error path is hit, then zero the new buffers as the regular
buffer path does, then attach the buffers to the page so that it can
actually be written out correctly and be subject to the normal IO error
handling paths.

As an upshot, we save 1K of kernel stack on ia64 or powerpc 64K page
systems.

17 years agoremove ZERO_PAGE
Nick Piggin [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:40 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
remove ZERO_PAGE

The commit b5810039a54e5babf428e9a1e89fc1940fabff11 contains the note

  A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap
  (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to
  the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big
  systems.  There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is
  an issue.

And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.
There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked
tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.
This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the
potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner
cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!).

There are several broad ways to fix this problem:
1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE
2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES
3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely

I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they
result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit
that I can see.

Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a
false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would
not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be
expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use
is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of
ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be
used).

As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many
mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not
increase much without it.

When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are
about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000
ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second
is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000
page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves
less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper
than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss.

Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no
regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove
the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,
we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.

The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked.  I don't see
much use to them except on benchmarks.  All other users of ZERO_PAGE are
converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at
replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are
more satisfied with this solution.

SLUB: direct pass through of page size or higher kmalloc requests

This gets rid of all kmalloc caches larger than page size.  A kmalloc
request larger than PAGE_SIZE > 2 is going to be passed through to the page
allocator.  This works both inline where we will call __get_free_pages
instead of kmem_cache_alloc and in __kmalloc.

kfree is modified to check if the object is in a slab page. If not then
the page is freed via the page allocator instead. Roughly similar to what
SLOB does.

Advantages:
- Reduces memory overhead for kmalloc array
- Large kmalloc operations are faster since they do not
  need to pass through the slab allocator to get to the
  page allocator.
- Performance increase of 10%-20% on alloc and 50% on free for
  PAGE_SIZEd allocations.
  SLUB must call page allocator for each alloc anyways since
  the higher order pages which that allowed avoiding the page alloc calls
  are not available in a reliable way anymore. So we are basically removing
  useless slab allocator overhead.
- Large kmallocs yields page aligned object which is what
  SLAB did. Bad things like using page sized kmalloc allocations to
  stand in for page allocate allocs can be transparently handled and are not
  distinguishable from page allocator uses.
- Checking for too large objects can be removed since
  it is done by the page allocator.

Drawbacks:
- No accounting for large kmalloc slab allocations anymore
- No debugging of large kmalloc slab allocations.

17 years agoreadahead: basic support of interleaved reads
Fengguang Wu [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:24:34 +0000 (01:24 -0700)]
readahead: basic support of interleaved reads

This is a simplified version of the pagecache context based readahead.  It
handles the case of multiple threads reading on the same fd and invalidating
each others' readahead state.  It does the trick by scanning the pagecache and
recovering the current read stream's readahead status.

The algorithm works in a opportunistic way, in that it does not try to detect
interleaved reads _actively_, which requires a probe into the page cache
(which means a little more overhead for random reads).  It only tries to
handle a previously started sequential readahead whose state was overwritten
by another concurrent stream, and it can do this job pretty well.

Negative and positive examples(or what you can expect from it):

1) it cannot detect and serve perfect request-by-request interleaved reads
   right:
time stream 1  stream 2
0  1
1            1001
2  2
3            1002
4  3
5            1003
6  4
7            1004
8  5
9           1005

Here no single readahead will be carried out.

2) However, if it's two concurrent reads by two threads, the chance of the
   initial sequential readahead be started is huge. Once the first sequential
   readahead is started for a stream, this patch will ensure that the readahead
   window continues to rampup and won't be disturbed by other streams.

time stream 1  stream 2
0  1
1  2
2            1001
3  3
4            1002
5            1003
6  4
7  5
8            1004
9  6
10           1005
11 7
12           1006
13           1007

Here stream 1 will start a readahead at page 2, and stream 2 will start its
first readahead at page 1003.  From then on the two streams will be served
right.

for virt_to_page and page_address.  This goes so far that the code to do this
has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.

This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap
is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are
physically backed.  This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become
simple shift/add operations.  No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing
involving memory is required.

The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:

   #define __pfn_to_page(pfn)      (vmemmap + (pfn))
   #define __page_to_pfn(page)     ((page) - vmemmap)

By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without
wasting physical memory.  As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1
this introduces no additional overhead.  The virtual mapping must be big
enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid
physical pages.  This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
platforms that support 36 address bits.

However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e.  true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry.  vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.

This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems.  It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms.  Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.

physical pages.  This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
platforms that support 36 address bits.

However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e.  true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry.  vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.

This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems.  It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms.  Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.

The current aim is to bring a common virtually mapped mem_map to all
architectures.  This should facilitate the removal of the bespoke
implementations from the architectures.  This also brings performance
improvements for most architecture making sparsmem vmemmap the more desirable
memory model.  The ultimate aim of this work is to expand sparsemem support to
encompass all the features of the other memory models.  This could allow us to
drop support for and remove the other models in the longer term.

Below are some comparitive kernbench numbers for various architectures,
comparing default memory model against SPARSEMEM VMEMMAP.  All but ia64 show
marginal improvement; we expect the ia64 figures to be sorted out when the
larger mapping support returns.

17 years agox86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft

x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft

x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
cruft for the kprobes page fault hook.  This patch converts them to the
proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.

I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
important aswell.

x86: Convert cpu_core_map to be a per cpu variable

This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter':

    cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
    we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu.

    If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated
    for each processor as it comes online.

    This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area
    has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors
    and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed
    when they are allocated. I commented the code out.

even without this modification).

The issue has something to do with assert time on PCMCIA bus, but I'm not
really sure what -- I found the working value just by trial&error approach.
 I'm not sure how is the assert value in pxa2xx_mcxx_asst calculated (I
know, simple formula, but the reason why is it calculated that way is not
obvious for me), neither that my modification is correct.  It just works
with iPAQ.

slow down printk during boot

Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.

Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.

It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the

Reinstate lost flush_ioremap_region() fix to pxa2xx-flash driver

Commit 90833fdab89da02fc0276224167f0a42e5176f41 ("[ARM] 4554/1: replace
consistent_sync() with flush_ioremap_region()") introduced a new
"flush_ioremap_region()" function to be used by the MTD mainstone-flash
and lubbock-flash drivers to fix a regression from around 2.6.18.

Those drivers were independently merged into a single driver by Todd
Poynor in commit e644f7d6289456657996df4192de76c5d0a9f9c7 ("[MTD] MAPS:
Merge Lubbock and Mainstone drivers into common PXA2xx driver")

Later, those two commits were merged into the main MTD tree by commit
b160292cc216a50fd0cd386b0bda2cd48352c73b ("Merge Linux 2.6.23") by David
Woodhouse, but in that merge, the fix to use flush_iomap_region() got
lost (as it was to files that now no longer existed).

This reinstates the fix in the new driver.
