14 years agomm: stack based kmap_atomic()

mm: stack based kmap_atomic()

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.

The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:

#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE :  \
 in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
 KM_PTE0)

and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.

The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.

For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:

  #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)

to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

vmscan,tmpfs: treat used once pages on tmpfs as used once

When a page has PG_referenced, shrink_page_list() discards it only if it
is not dirty.  This rule works fine if the backing filesystem is a regular
one.  PG_dirty is a good signal that the page was used recently because
the flusher threads clean pages periodically.  In addition, page writeback
is costlier than simple page discard.

However, when a page is on tmpfs this heuristic doesn't work because
flusher threads don't write back tmpfs pages.  Consequently tmpfs pages
always rotate around the lru twice at least and adds unnecessary lru
churn.  Simple tmpfs streaming io shouldn't cause large anonymous page
swap-out.

Remove this unncessary reclaim bonus of tmpfs pages.

If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will
sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep.  This
patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps

This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during
IO.  For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait()
but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no
congestion.  Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but
after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too
long.  Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making

vmscan: narrow the scenarios in whcih lumpy reclaim uses synchrounous reclaim

shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a
number of conditions such as

  1. trylock_page() failure
  2. page is unevictable
  3. zone reclaim and page is mapped
  4. PageWriteback() is true
  5. page is swapbacked and swap is full
  6. add_to_swap() failure
  7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS
  8. page is pinned
  9. IO queue is congested
 10. pageout() start IO, but not finished

With lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim
but this can be unnecessary.  In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8),
there is no point retrying.  This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when
it is known it will fail.

Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is,
  1. start shrink_page_list(async)
  2. found queue_congested()
  3. skip pageout write
  4. still start shrink_page_list(sync)
  5. wait on a lot of pages
  6. again, found queue_congested()
  7. give up pageout write again

So, it's useless time wasting.  However, just skipping page reclaim is
also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example.
It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128).

After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows;

 - If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
Ignore queue congestion always.
 - If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.

tracing, vmscan: add trace events for LRU list shrinking

There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM.  There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing.  This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.

Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list.  For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.

Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.

Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series.  It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat.  As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable.  It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.

Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait().  wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested.  Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones.  It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.

I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were

X86:    Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64:  PPC970MP

Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller.  Dirty ratio was
left at 20.  I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short.  Four kernels were tested each based on
v2.6.36-rc4

traceonly-v2r2:     Patches 1 and 2 to instrument vmscan reclaims and congestion_wait
lowlumpy-v2r3:      Patches 1-6 to test if lumpy reclaim is better
waitcongest-v2r3:   Patches 1-7 to only wait on congestion
waitwriteback-v2r4: Patches 1-8 to detect when a zone is congested

nocongest-v1r5: Patches 1-3 for testing wait_iff_congestion
nodirect-v1r5:  Patches 1-10 to disable filesystem writeback for better IO

The tests run were as follows

kernbench
compile-based benchmark. Smoke test performance

sysbench
OLTP read-only benchmark. Will be re-run in the future as read-write

micro-mapped-file-stream
This is a micro-benchmark from Johannes Weiner that accesses a
large sparse-file through mmap(). It was configured to run in only
single-CPU mode but can be indicative of how well page reclaim
identifies suitable pages.

stress-highalloc
Tries to allocate huge pages under heavy load.

kernbench, iozone and sysbench did not report any performance regression
on any machine.  sysbench did pressure the system lightly and there was
reclaim activity but there were no difference of major interest between
the kernels.

These are based on the raw figures taken from /proc/vmstat.  It's a rough
measure of reclaim activity.  Note that allocstall counts are higher
because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not
sleeping in congestion.  In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint
report.

What is interesting here for nocongest in particular is that while direct
reclaim scans more pages, the overall number of pages scanned remains the
same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same.  In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

Again, a similar trend that the congestion_wait changes mean that direct
reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar.  The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar.  The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

Scanned/reclaimed ratios again look good with big improvements in
efficiency.  The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved.  With a
better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be
more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much
reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake.

Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster
and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the

Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.

The output is as below:

 # grep threshold /proc/vmstat
 nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223

This patch:

This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting.  Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.

14 years agovmscan: prevent background aging of anon page in no swap system

vmscan: prevent background aging of anon page in no swap system

Ying Han reported that backing aging of anon pages in no swap system
causes unnecessary TLB flush.

When I sent a patch(69c8548175), I wanted this patch but Rik pointed out
and allowed aging of anon pages to give a chance to promote from inactive
to active LRU.

It has a two problem.

1) non-swap system

Never make sense to age anon pages.

2) swap configured but still doesn't swapon

It doesn't make sense to age anon pages until swap-on time.  But it's
arguable.  If we have aged anon pages by swapon, VM have moved anon pages
from active to inactive.  And in the time swapon by admin, the VM can't
reclaim hot pages so we can protect hot pages swapout.

But let's think about it.  When does swap-on happen?  It depends on admin.
 we can't expect it.  Nonetheless, we have done aging of anon pages to
protect hot pages swapout.  It means we lost run time overhead when below
high watermark but gain hot page swap-[in/out] overhead when VM decide
swapout.  Is it true?  Let's think more detail.  We don't promote anon
pages in case of non-swap system.  So even though VM does aging of anon
pages, the pages would be in inactive LRU for a long time.  It means many
of pages in there would mark access bit again.  So access bit hot/code
separation would be pointless.

This patch prevents unnecessary anon pages demotion in not-yet-swapon and
non-configured swap system.  Even, in non-configuared swap system
inactive_anon_is_low can be compiled out.

It could make side effect that hot anon pages could swap out when admin
does swap on.  But I think sooner or later it would be steady state.  So
it's not a big problem.

We could lose someting but gain more thing(TLB flush and unnecessary
function call to demote anon pages).

Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind of

      calling shrink_slab() against a range before starting memory hotremove

14 years agooom: kill all threads sharing oom killed task's mm
David Rientjes [Tue, 26 Oct 2010 21:21:24 +0000 (14:21 -0700)]
oom: kill all threads sharing oom killed task's mm

It's necessary to kill all threads that share an oom killed task's mm if
the goal is to lead to future memory freeing.

This patch reintroduces the code removed in 8c5cd6f3 (oom: oom_kill
doesn't kill vfork parent (or child)) since it is obsoleted.

It's now guaranteed that any task passed to oom_kill_task() does not share
an mm with any thread that is unkillable.  Thus, we're safe to issue a
SIGKILL to any thread sharing the same mm.

This is especially necessary to solve an mm->mmap_sem livelock issue
whereas an oom killed thread must acquire the lock in the exit path while
another thread is holding it in the page allocator while trying to
allocate memory itself (and will preempt the oom killer since a task was
already killed).  Since tasks with pending fatal signals are now granted
access to memory reserves, the thread holding the lock may quickly
allocate and release the lock so that the oom killed task may exit.

This mainly is for threads that are cloned with CLONE_VM but not
CLONE_THREAD, so they are in a different thread group.  Non-NPTL threads
exist in the wild and this change is necessary to prevent the livelock in
such cases.  We care more about preventing the livelock than incurring the
additional tasklist in the oom killer when a task has been killed.
Systems that are sufficiently large to not want the tasklist scan in the
oom killer in the first place already have the option of enabling
/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task, which was designed specifically for
that purpose.

This code had existed in the oom killer for over eight years dating back
to the 2.4 kernel.

oom: avoid killing a task if a thread sharing its mm cannot be killed

The oom killer's goal is to kill a memory-hogging task so that it may
exit, free its memory, and allow the current context to allocate the
memory that triggered it in the first place.  Thus, killing a task is
pointless if other threads sharing its mm cannot be killed because of its
/proc/pid/oom_adj or /proc/pid/oom_score_adj value.

This patch checks whether any other thread sharing p->mm has an
oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.  If so, the thread cannot be killed
and oom_badness(p) returns 0, meaning it's unkillable.

oom: add per-mm oom disable count

It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing.  A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.

This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.

This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it

mm, page-allocator: do not check the state of a non-existant buddy during free

There is a bug in commit 6dda9d55 ("page allocator: reduce fragmentation
in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the
free lists") that means a buddy at order MAX_ORDER is checked for merging.
 A page of this order never exists so at times, an effectively random
piece of memory is being checked.

Alan Curry has reported that this is causing memory corruption in
userspace data on a PPC32 platform (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/9/32).
It is not clear why this is happening.  It could be a cache coherency
problem where pages mapped in both user and kernel space are getting
different cache lines due to the bad read from kernel space
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/13/179).  It could also be that there are
some special registers being io-remapped at the end of the memmap array
and that a read has special meaning on them.  Compiler bugs have been
ruled out because the assembly before and after the patch looks relatively
harmless.

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring we are not reading a possibly
invalid location of memory.  It's not clear why the read causes corruption
but one way or the other it is a buggy read.

14 years agoMN10300: Fix the PERCPU() alignment to allow for workqueues
David Howells [Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:41:11 +0000 (23:41 +0100)]
MN10300: Fix the PERCPU() alignment to allow for workqueues

In the MN10300 arch, we occasionally see an assertion being tripped in
alloc_cwqs() at the following line:

        /* just in case, make sure it's actually aligned */
  --->  BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(wq->cpu_wq.v, align));
        return wq->cpu_wq.v ? 0 : -ENOMEM;

The values are:

        wa->cpu_wq.v => 0x902776e0
        align => 0x100

and align is calculated by the following:

        const size_t align = max_t(size_t, 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
                                   __alignof__(unsigned long long));

This is because the pointer in question (wq->cpu_wq.v) loses some of its
lower bits to control flags, and so the object it points to must be
sufficiently aligned to avoid the need to use those bits for pointing to
things.

Currently, 4 control bits and 4 colour bits are used in normal
circumstances, plus a debugging bit if debugging is set.  This requires
the cpu_workqueue_struct struct to be at least 256 bytes aligned (or 512
bytes aligned with debugging).

PERCPU() alignment on MN13000, however, is only 32 bytes as set in
vmlinux.lds.S.  So we set this to PAGE_SIZE (4096) to match most other
arches and stick a comment in alloc_cwqs() for anyone else who triggers
the assertion.
