ksm: unmerge is an origin of OOMs

Just as the swapoff system call allocates many pages of RAM to various
processes, perhaps triggering OOM, so "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run"
(unmerge) is liable to allocate many pages of RAM to various processes,
perhaps triggering OOM; and each is normally run from a modest admin
process (swapoff or shell), easily repeated until it succeeds.

So treat unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() in the same way that we treat
try_to_unuse(): generalize PF_SWAPOFF to PF_OOM_ORIGIN, and bracket both
with that, to ask the OOM killer to kill them first, to prevent them from
spawning more and more OOM kills.

ksm: remove VM_MERGEABLE_FLAGS

KSM originally stood for Kernel Shared Memory: but the kernel has long
supported shared memory, and VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE vmas, and KSM is
something else.  So we switched to saying "merge" instead of "share".

But Chris Wright points out that this is confusing where mmap.c merges
adjacent vmas: most especially in the name VM_MERGEABLE_FLAGS, used by
is_mergeable_vma() to let vmas be merged despite flags being different.

Call it VMA_MERGE_DESPITE_FLAGS?  Perhaps, but at present it consists
only of VM_CAN_NONLINEAR: so for now it's clearer on all sides to use
that directly, with a comment on it in is_mergeable_vma().

ksm: sysfs and defaults

At present KSM is just a waste of space if you don't have CONFIG_SYSFS=y
to provide the /sys/kernel/mm/ksm files to tune and activate it.

Make KSM depend on SYSFS?  Could do, but it might be better to provide
some defaults so that KSM works out-of-the-box, ready for testers to
madvise MADV_MERGEABLE, even without SYSFS.

Though anyone serious is likely to want to retune the numbers to their
taste once they have experience; and whether these settings ever reach
2.6.32 can be discussed along the way.

ksm: fix deadlock with munlock in exit_mmap

Rawhide users have reported hang at startup when cryptsetup is run: the
same problem can be simply reproduced by running a program int main() {
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE); return 0; }

The problem is that exit_mmap() applies munlock_vma_pages_all() to
clean up VM_LOCKED areas, and its current implementation (stupidly)
tries to fault in absent pages, for example where PROT_NONE prevented
them being faulted in when mlocking.  Whereas the "ksm: fix oom
deadlock" patch, knowing there's a race by which KSM might try to fault
in pages after exit_mmap() had finally zapped the range, backs out of
such faults doing nothing when its ksm_test_exit() notices mm_users 0.

So revert that part of "ksm: fix oom deadlock" which moved the
ksm_exit() call from before exit_mmap() to the middle of exit_mmap();
and remove those ksm_test_exit() checks from the page fault paths, so
allowing the munlocking to proceed without interference.

ksm_exit, if there are rmap_items still chained on this mm slot, takes
mmap_sem write side: so preventing KSM from working on an mm while
exit_mmap runs.  And KSM will bail out as soon as it notices that
mm_users is already zero, thanks to its internal ksm_test_exit checks.
So that when a task is killed by OOM killer or the user, KSM will not
indefinitely prevent it from running exit_mmap to release its memory.

This does break a part of what "ksm: fix oom deadlock" was trying to
achieve.  When unmerging KSM (echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm), and even
when ksmd itself has to cancel a KSM page, it is possible that the
first OOM-kill victim would be the KSM process being faulted: then its
memory won't be freed until a second victim has been selected (freeing
memory for the unmerging fault to complete).

But the OOM killer is already liable to kill a second victim once the
intended victim's p->mm goes to NULL: so there's not much point in
rejecting this KSM patch before fixing that OOM behaviour.  It is very
much more important to allow KSM users to boot up, than to haggle over
an unlikely and poorly supported OOM case.

We also intend to fix munlocking to not fault pages: at which point
this patch _could_ be reverted; though that would be controversial, so
we hope to find a better solution.

ksm: fix oom deadlock

There's a now-obvious deadlock in KSM's out-of-memory handling:
imagine ksmd or KSM_RUN_UNMERGE handling, holding ksm_thread_mutex,
trying to allocate a page to break KSM in an mm which becomes the
OOM victim (quite likely in the unmerge case): it's killed and goes
to exit, and hangs there waiting to acquire ksm_thread_mutex.

Clearly we must not require ksm_thread_mutex in __ksm_exit, simple
though that made everything else: perhaps use mmap_sem somehow?
And part of the answer lies in the comments on unmerge_ksm_pages:
__ksm_exit should also leave all the rmap_item removal to ksmd.

But there's a fundamental problem, that KSM relies upon mmap_sem to
guarantee the consistency of the mm it's dealing with, yet exit_mmap
tears down an mm without taking mmap_sem.  And bumping mm_users won't
help at all, that just ensures that the pages the OOM killer assumes
are on their way to being freed will not be freed.

The best answer seems to be, to move the ksm_exit callout from just
before exit_mmap, to the middle of exit_mmap: after the mm's pages
have been freed (if the mmu_gather is flushed), but before its page
tables and vma structures have been freed; and down_write,up_write
mmap_sem there to serialize with KSM's own reliance on mmap_sem.

But KSM then needs to be careful, whenever it downs mmap_sem, to
check that the mm is not already exiting: there's a danger of using
find_vma on a layout that's being torn apart, or writing into page
tables which have been freed for reuse; and even do_anonymous_page
and __do_fault need to check they're not being called by break_ksm
to reinstate a pte after zap_pte_range has zapped that page table.

Though it might be clearer to add an exiting flag, set while holding
mmap_sem in __ksm_exit, that wouldn't cover the issue of reinstating
a zapped pte.  All we need is to check whether mm_users is 0 - but
must remember that ksmd may detect that before __ksm_exit is reached.
So, ksm_test_exit(mm) added to comment such checks on mm->mm_users.

__ksm_exit now has to leave clearing up the rmap_items to ksmd,
that needs ksm_thread_mutex; but shift the exiting mm just after the
ksm_scan cursor so that it will soon be dealt with.  __ksm_enter raise
mm_count to hold the mm_struct, ksmd's exit processing (exactly like
its processing when it finds all VM_MERGEABLEs unmapped) mmdrop it,
similar procedure for KSM_RUN_UNMERGE (which has stopped ksmd).

But also give __ksm_exit a fast path: when there's no complication
(no rmap_items attached to mm and it's not at the ksm_scan cursor),
it can safely do all the exiting work itself.  This is not just an
optimization: when ksmd is not running, the raised mm_count would
otherwise leak mm_structs.

ksm: distribute remove_mm_from_lists

remove_trailing_rmap_items and cursor advancement up, and it becomes
simpler than before.  __ksm_exit becomes messier, but will change

ksm: fix endless loop on oom

break_ksm has been looping endlessly ignoring VM_FAULT_OOM: that should
only be a problem for ksmd when a memory control group imposes limits
(normally the OOM killer will kill others with an mm until it succeeds);
but in general (especially for MADV_UNMERGEABLE and KSM_RUN_UNMERGE) we
do need to route the error (or kill) back to the caller (or sighandling).

Test signal_pending in unmerge_ksm_pages, which could be a lengthy
procedure if it has to spill into swap: returning -ERESTARTSYS so that
trivial signals will restart but fatals will terminate (is that right?
we do different things in different places in mm, none exactly this).

unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items was forgetting to lock when going
down the mm_list: fix that.  Whether it's successful or not, reset
ksm_scan cursor to head; but only if it's successful, reset seqnr
(shown in full_scans) - page counts will have gone down to zero.

This patch leaves a significant OOM deadlock, but it's a good step
on the way, and that deadlock is fixed in a subsequent patch.

ksm: break cow once unshared

We kept agreeing not to bother about the unswappable shared KSM pages

to break COW to replace them by swappable pages, than offer statistics
to show that they don't matter; then we can stop worrying about them.

Doing this in ksm_do_scan, they don't go through cmp_and_merge_page on
this pass: give them a good chance of getting into the unstable tree
on the next pass, or back into the stable, by computing checksum now.

ksm: pages_unshared and pages_volatile

pages_volatile is harder to define.  It includes those pages changing
too fast to get into the unstable tree, but also whatever other edge
conditions prevent a page getting into the trees: a high value may
deserve investigation.  Don't try to calculate it from the various

Also show full_scans: the number of completed scans of everything

ksm: prevent mremap move poisoning

KSM's scan allows for user pages to be COWed or unmapped at any time,
without requiring any notification.  But its stable tree does assume that
when it finds a KSM page where it placed a KSM page, then it is the same
KSM page that it placed there.

mremap move could break that assumption: if an area containing a KSM page
was unmapped, then an area containing a different KSM page was moved with
mremap into the place of the original, before KSM's scan came around to
notice.  That could then poison a node of the stable tree, so that memcmps
would "lie" and upset the ordering of the tree.

Probably noone will ever need mremap move on a VM_MERGEABLE area; except
that prohibiting it would make trouble for schemes in which we try making
everything VM_MERGEABLE e.g.  for testing: an mremap which normally works
would then fail mysteriously.

There's no need to go to any trouble, such as re-sorting KSM's list of
rmap_items to match the new layout: simply unmerge the area to COW all its
KSM pages before moving, but leave VM_MERGEABLE on so that they're
remerged later.

ksm: Kernel SamePage Merging

Ksm is code that allows merging of identical pages between one or more
applications, in a way invisible to the applications that use it.  Pages
that are merged are marked as read-only, then COWed when any application
tries to change them.

Whereas fork() allows sharing anonymous pages between parent and child,
ksm can share anonymous pages between unrelated processes.

Ksm works by walking over the memory pages of the applications it scans,
in order to find identical pages.  It uses two sorted data structures,
called the stable and unstable trees, to locate identical pages in an
effective way.

When ksm finds two identical pages, it marks them as readonly and merges
them into a single page.  After the pages have been marked as readonly and
merged into one, Linux treats them as normal copy-on-write pages, copying
to a fresh anonymous page if write access is required later.

Ksm scans and merges anonymous pages only in those memory areas that have
been registered with it by madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE).

The ksm scanner is controlled by sysfs files in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/:

max_kernel_pages - the maximum number of unswappable kernel pages
                   which may be allocated by ksm (0 for unlimited).

kernel_pages_allocated - how many ksm pages are currently allocated,
                         sharing identical content between different
                         processes (pages unswappable in this release).

pages_shared - how many pages have been saved by sharing with ksm pages
               (kernel_pages_allocated being excluded from this count).

pages_to_scan - how many pages ksm should scan before sleeping.

sleep_millisecs - how many milliseconds ksm should sleep between scans.

run - write 0 to disable ksm, read 0 while ksm is disabled (default),
      write 1 to run ksm, read 1 while ksm is running,
      write 2 to disable ksm and unmerge all its pages.

ksm: identify PageKsm pages

KSM will need to identify its kernel merged pages unambiguously, and
/proc/kpageflags will probably like to do so too.

Since KSM will only be substituting anonymous pages, statistics are best
preserved by making a PageKsm page a special PageAnon page: one with no
anon_vma.

But KSM then needs its own page_add_ksm_rmap() - keep it in ksm.h near
PageKsm; and do_wp_page() must COW them, unlike singly mapped PageAnons.

ksm: no debug in page_dup_rmap()

page_dup_rmap(), used on each mapped page when forking, was originally
just an inline atomic_inc of mapcount.  2.6.22 added CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
out-of-line checks to it, which would need to be ever-so-slightly
complicated to allow for the PageKsm() we're about to define.

But I think these checks never caught anything.  And if it's coding errors
we're worried about, such checks should be in page_remove_rmap() too, not
just when forking; whereas if it's pagetable corruption we're worried
about, then they shouldn't be limited to CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

Oh, just revert page_dup_rmap() to an inline atomic_inc of mapcount.

ksm: the mm interface to ksm

This patch presents the mm interface to a dummy version of ksm.c, for
better scrutiny of that interface: the real ksm.c follows later.

When CONFIG_KSM is not set, madvise(2) reject MADV_MERGEABLE and
MADV_UNMERGEABLE with EINVAL, since that seems more helpful than
pretending that they can be serviced.  But when CONFIG_KSM=y, accept them
even if KSM is not currently running, and even on areas which KSM will not
touch (e.g.  hugetlb or shared file or special driver mappings).

Like other madvices, report ENOMEM despite success if any area in the
range is unmapped, and use EAGAIN to report out of memory.

Define vma flag VM_MERGEABLE to identify an area on which KSM may try
merging pages: leave it to ksm_madvise() to decide whether to set it.
Define mm flag MMF_VM_MERGEABLE to identify an mm which might contain
VM_MERGEABLE areas, to minimize callouts when forking or exiting.

Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.

ksm: define MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE

The out-of-tree KSM used ioctls on fds cloned from /dev/ksm to register a
memory area for merging: we prefer now to use an madvise(2) interface.

This patch just defines MADV_MERGEABLE (to tell KSM it may merge pages in
this area found identical to pages in other mergeable areas) and
MADV_UNMERGEABLE (to undo that).

Most architectures use asm-generic, but alpha, mips, parisc, xtensa need

probably want to split this and feed pieces to arch maintainers.

ksm: add mmu_notifier set_pte_at_notify()

KSM is a linux driver that allows dynamicly sharing identical memory pages
between one or more processes.

Unlike tradtional page sharing that is made at the allocation of the
memory, ksm do it dynamicly after the memory was created.  Memory is
periodically scanned; identical pages are identified and merged.

The sharing is made in a transparent way to the processes that use it.

Ksm is highly important for hypervisors (kvm), where in production
enviorments there might be many copys of the same data data among the host
memory.  This kind of data can be: similar kernels, librarys, cache, and
so on.

Even that ksm was wrote for kvm, any userspace application that want to
use it to share its data can try it.

Ksm may be useful for any application that might have similar (page
aligment) data strctures among the memory, ksm will find this data merge
it to one copy, and even if it will be changed and thereforew copy on
writed, ksm will merge it again as soon as it will be identical again.

Another reason to consider using ksm is the fact that it might simplify
alot the userspace code of application that want to use shared private
data, instead that the application will mange shared area, ksm will do
this for the application, and even write to this data will be allowed
without any synchinization acts from the application.

Ksm was designed to be a loadable module that doesn't change the VM code
of linux.

This patch:

The set_pte_at_notify() macro allows setting a pte in the shadow page
table directly, instead of flushing the shadow page table entry and then
getting vmexit to set it.  It uses a new change_pte() callback to do so.

set_pte_at_notify() is an optimization for kvm, and other users of
mmu_notifiers, for COW pages.  It is useful for kvm when ksm is used,
because it allows kvm not to have to receive vmexit and only then map the
ksm page into the shadow page table, but instead map it directly at the
same time as Linux maps the page into the host page table.

Users of mmu_notifiers who don't implement new mmu_notifier_change_pte()
callback will just receive the mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() callback.

mm: count only reclaimable lru pages

global_lru_pages() / zone_lru_pages() can be used in two ways:
- to estimate max reclaimable pages in determine_dirtyable_memory()
- to calculate the slab scan ratio

When swap is full or not present, the anon lru lists are not reclaimable
and also won't be scanned.  So the anon pages shall not be counted in both
usage scenarios.  Also rename to _reclaimable_pages: now they are counting
the possibly reclaimable lru pages.

It can greatly (and correctly) increase the slab scan rate under high
memory pressure (when most file pages have been reclaimed and swap is
full/absent), thus reduce false OOM kills.

vmscan: throttle direct reclaim when too many pages are isolated already

When way too many processes go into direct reclaim, it is possible for all
of the pages to be taken off the LRU.  One result of this is that the next
process in the page reclaim code thinks there are no reclaimable pages
left and triggers an out of memory kill.

One solution to this problem is to never let so many processes into the
page reclaim path that the entire LRU is emptied.  Limiting the system to
only having half of each inactive list isolated for reclaim should be

mm: shrink_inactive_list() nr_scan accounting fix fix

If sc->isolate_pages() return 0, we don't need to call shrink_page_list().
In past days, shrink_inactive_list() handled it properly.

But commit fb8d14e1 (three years ago commit!) breaked it.  current
shrink_inactive_list() always call shrink_page_list() although
isolate_pages() return 0.

This patch restore proper return value check.

Requirements:
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay before calling shrink_page_list().
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay after nr_scan related statistics
     modification.

We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem
pages:

however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.

hugetlb: restore interleaving of bootmem huge pages

I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next
node on failure to allocate a huge page, potentially filling nodes with
huge-pages.  I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the
usual huge page suspects.

Mel Gorman responded:

I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation
failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate
at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in
commit 63b4613c3f0d4b724ba259dc6c201bb68b884e1a ["hugetlb: fix
hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch
it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when
allocation was successful.

This patch--factored out of my "hugetlb mempolicy" series--moves the
advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test
for success of the attempted allocation.

Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() is only used for order > MAX_ORDER
huge pages.

I'll post a separate patch for mainline/stable, as the above mentioned
"balance freeing" series renamed the next node to alloc function.

Free huges pages from nodes in round robin fashion in an attempt to keep

New function free_pool_huge_page() is modeled on and performs roughly the

now has no callers, so this patch removes it.

next_to_free_nid to distribute "frees" across all nodes with huge pages.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already
have a list_entry() in list.h.

Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the

drm/vgaarb: add VGA arbitration support to the drm and kms.

VGA arb requires DRM support for non-kms drivers, to turn on/off

VGA arb requires KMS support for GPUs where we can turn off VGA
