mm, compaction: fully assume capture is not NULL in compact_zone_order()

Dan reports:

The patch 5e1f0f098b46: "mm, compaction: capture a page under direct
compaction" from Mar 5, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

    mm/compaction.c:2321 compact_zone_order()
     error: we previously assumed 'capture' could be null (see line 2313)

mm/compaction.c
  2288  static enum compact_result compact_zone_order(struct zone *zone, int order,
  2289                  gfp_t gfp_mask, enum compact_priority prio,
  2290                  unsigned int alloc_flags, int classzone_idx,
  2291                  struct page **capture)
                                      ^^^^^^^

                    ^^^^^^^
Check for NULL

  2314 current->capture_control = &capc;

  2319 VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc.migratepages));

  2321 *capture = capc.page;
                ^^^^^^^^
Unchecked dereference.

  2322 current->capture_control = NULL;
  2323

In practice this is not an issue, as the only caller path passes non-NULL
capture:

__alloc_pages_direct_compact()
  struct page *page = NULL;
  try_to_compact_pages(capture = &page);
    compact_zone_order(capture = capture);

So let's remove the unnecessary check, which should also make Smatch happy.

mm,thp,compaction,cma: allow THP migration for CMA allocations

The code to implement THP migrations already exists, and the code for CMA
to clear out a region of memory already exists.

Only a few small tweaks are needed to allow CMA to move THP memory when
attempting an allocation from alloc_contig_range.

With these changes, migrating THPs from a CMA area works when allocating a
1GB hugepage from CMA memory.

4 years agomm,compaction,cma: add alloc_contig flag to compact_control

mm,compaction,cma: add alloc_contig flag to compact_control

Patch series "fix THP migration for CMA allocations", v2.

Transparent huge pages are allocated with __GFP_MOVABLE, and can end up in
CMA memory blocks.  Transparent huge pages also have most of the
infrastructure in place to allow migration.

However, a few pieces were missing, causing THP migration to fail when
attempting to use CMA to allocate 1GB hugepages.

With these patches in place, THP migration from CMA blocks seems to work,
both for anonymous THPs and for tmpfs/shmem THPs.

This patch (of 2):

Add information to struct compact_control to indicate that the allocator
would really like to clear out this specific part of memory, used by for
example CMA.

selftests: vm: drop dependencies on page flags from mlock2 tests

It was noticed that mlock2 tests are failing after 9c4e6b1a7027f ("mm,
mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecs") because the patch has changed
the timing on when the page is added to the unevictable LRU list and thus
gains the unevictable page flag.

The test was just too dependent on the implementation details which were
true at the time when it was introduced.  Page flags and the timing when
they are set is something no userspace should ever depend on.  The test
should be testing only for the user observable contract of the tested
syscalls.  Those are defined pretty well for the mlock and there are other
means for testing them.  In fact this is already done and testing for page
flags can be safely dropped to achieve the aimed purpose.  Present bits
can be checked by /proc/<pid>/smaps RSS field and the locking state by
VmFlags although I would argue that Locked: field would be more
appropriate.

Drop all the page flag machinery and considerably simplify the test.  This
should be more robust for future kernel changes while checking the
promised contract is still valid.

mm, pagealloc: micro-optimisation: save two branches on hot page allocation path

This patch makes ALLOC_KSWAPD equal to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (cast to int).

Thanks to that code like:

    if (gfp_mask & __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM)
    alloc_flags |= ALLOC_KSWAPD;

can be changed to:

    alloc_flags |= (__force int) (gfp_mask &__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM);

Thanks to this one branch less is generated in the assembly.

In case of ALLOC_KSWAPD flag two branches are saved, first one in code
that always executes in the beginning of page allocation and the second
one in loop in page allocator slowpath.

4 years agomm/page_alloc: increase default min_free_kbytes bound
Joel Savitz [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:09:44 +0000 (21:09 -0700)]
mm/page_alloc: increase default min_free_kbytes bound

Currently, the vm.min_free_kbytes sysctl value is capped at a hardcoded
64M in init_per_zone_wmark_min (unless it is overridden by khugepaged
initialization).

This value has not been modified since 2005, and enterprise-grade systems
now frequently have hundreds of GB of RAM and multiple 10, 40, or even 100
GB NICs.  We have seen page allocation failures on heavily loaded systems
related to NIC drivers.  These issues were resolved by an increase to
vm.min_free_kbytes.

This patch increases the hardcoded value by a factor of 4 as a temporary
solution.

Further work to make the calculation of vm.min_free_kbytes more consistent
throughout the kernel would be desirable.

As an example of the inconsistency of the current method, this value is
recalculated by init_per_zone_wmark_min() in the case of memory hotplug
which will override the value set by set_recommended_min_free_kbytes()
called during khugepaged initialization even if khugepaged remains
enabled, however an on/off toggle of khugepaged will then recalculate and
set the value via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().

mm/mremap: add MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to mremap()

When remapping an anonymous, private mapping, if MREMAP_DONTUNMAP is set,
the source mapping will not be removed.  The remap operation will be
performed as it would have been normally by moving over the page tables to
the new mapping.  The old vma will have any locked flags cleared, have no
pagetables, and any userfaultfds that were watching that range will
continue watching it.

For a mapping that is shared or not anonymous, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP will cause
the mremap() call to fail.  Because MREMAP_DONTUNMAP always results in
moving a VMA you MUST use the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag, it's not possible to
resize a VMA while also moving with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP so old_len must
always be equal to the new_len otherwise it will return -EINVAL.

We hope to use this in Chrome OS where with userfaultfd we could write an
anonymous mapping to disk without having to STOP the process or worry
about VMA permission changes.

This feature also has a use case in Android, Lokesh Gidra has said that
"As part of using userfaultfd for GC, We'll have to move the physical
pages of the java heap to a separate location.  For this purpose mremap
will be used.  Without the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag, when I mremap the java
heap, its virtual mapping will be removed as well.  Therefore, we'll
require performing mmap immediately after.  This is not only time
consuming but also opens a time window where a native thread may call mmap
and reserve the java heap's address range for its own usage.  This flag
solves the problem."

4 years agomm/userfaultfd: honor FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE in fault path

mm/userfaultfd: honor FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE in fault path

Userfaultfd fault path was by default killable even if the caller does not
have FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE.  That makes sense before in that when with gup
we don't have FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE properly set before.  Now after previous
patch we've got FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE applied even for gup code so it should
also make sense to let userfaultfd to honor the FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE.

Because we're unconditionally setting FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE in gup code
right now, this patch should have no functional change.  It also cleaned
the code a little bit by introducing some helpers.

4 years agomm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times
Peter Xu [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:08:45 +0000 (21:08 -0700)]
mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times

The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].

Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once.  We achieved
this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time.  This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the
page fault on a single page.  However that should hardly happen, and after
all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a
condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen
before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.

This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY.  It means that the page fault handler
now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the
need to generate another page fault event.  Meanwhile we still keep the
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a
page fault is the first attempt or not.

Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):

  - ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED:  this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is the first try

  - ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:   this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is not the first try

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
                             to retry at all

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:  this is forbidden and should never be used

In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of
the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY).  This patch introduces a simple helper to detect
the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now
even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in
all existing special paths.  One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now
we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll
keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.

This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a
supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in
that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry
for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when
userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then
we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault.  It might also benefit
other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault
write-protection.

GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

Please read the thread below for more information.

mm: introduce FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE

handle_userfaultfd() is currently the only one place in the kernel page
fault procedures that can respond to non-fatal userspace signals.  It was
trying to detect such an allowance by checking against USER & KILLABLE
flags, which was "un-official".

In this patch, we introduced a new flag (FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE) to show
that the fault handler allows the fault procedure to respond even to
non-fatal signals.  Meanwhile, add this new flag to the default fault
flags so that all the page fault handlers can benefit from the new flag.
With that, replacing the userfault check to this one.

Since the line is getting even longer, clean up the fault flags a bit too
to ease TTY users.

Although we've got a new flag and applied it, we shouldn't have any
functional change with this patch so far.

Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial

mm: return faster for non-fatal signals in user mode faults

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20171102193644.GB22686@redhat.com/

A summary to the issue: there was a special path in handle_userfault() in
the past that we'll return a VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when we detected non-fatal
signals when waiting for userfault handling.  We did that by reacquiring
the mmap_sem before returning.  However that brings a risk in that the
vmas might have changed when we retake the mmap_sem and even we could be
holding an invalid vma structure.

This patch is a preparation of removing that special path by allowing the
page fault to return even faster if we were interrupted by a non-fatal
signal during a user-mode page fault handling routine.

4 years agomm: introduce fault_signal_pending()
Peter Xu [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:08:06 +0000 (21:08 -0700)]
mm: introduce fault_signal_pending()

For most architectures, we've got a quick path to detect fatal signal
after a handle_mm_fault().  Introduce a helper for that quick path.

It cleans the current codes a bit so we don't need to duplicate the same
check across archs.  More importantly, this will be an unified place that
we handle the signal immediately right after an interrupted page fault, so
it'll be much easier for us if we want to change the behavior of handling
signals later on for all the archs.

Note that currently only part of the archs are using this new helper,
because some archs have their own way to handle signals.  In the follow up
patches, we'll try to apply this helper to all the rest of archs.

Another note is that the "regs" parameter in the new helper is not used
yet.  It'll be used very soon.  Now we kept it in this patch only to avoid
touching all the archs again in the follow up patches.

4 years agomm/gup: rename "nonblocking" to "locked" where proper
Peter Xu [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:07:58 +0000 (21:07 -0700)]
mm/gup: rename "nonblocking" to "locked" where proper

Patch series "mm: Page fault enhancements", v6.

This series contains cleanups and enhancements to current page fault
logic.  The whole idea comes from the discussion between Andrea and Linus
on the bug reported by syzbot here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/2/833

Basically it does two things:

  (a) Allows the page fault logic to be more interactive on not only
      SIGKILL, but also the rest of userspace signals, and,

  (b) Allows the page fault retry (VM_FAULT_RETRY) to happen for more
      than once.

For (a): with the changes we should be able to react faster when page
faults are working in parallel with userspace signals like SIGSTOP and
SIGCONT (and more), and with that we can remove the buggy part in
userfaultfd and benefit the whole page fault mechanism on faster signal
processing to reach the userspace.

For (b), we should be able to allow the page fault handler to loop for
even more than twice.  Some context: for now since we have
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY we can allow to retry the page fault once with the
same interrupt context, however never more than twice.  This can be not
only a potential cleanup to remove this assumption since AFAIU the code
itself doesn't really have this twice-only limitation (though that should
be a protective approach in the past), at the same time it'll greatly
simplify future works like userfaultfd write-protect where it's possible
to retry for more than twice (please have a look at [1] below for a
possible user that might require the page fault to be handled for a third
time; if we can remove the retry limitation we can simply drop that patch
and those complexity).

This patch (of 16):

There's plenty of places around __get_user_pages() that has a parameter
"nonblocking" which does not really mean that "it won't block" (because it
can really block) but instead it shows whether the mmap_sem is released by
up_read() during the page fault handling mostly when VM_FAULT_RETRY is
returned.

We have the correct naming in e.g.  get_user_pages_locked() or
get_user_pages_remote() as "locked", however there're still many places
that are using the "nonblocking" as name.

Renaming the places to "locked" where proper to better suite the
functionality of the variable.  While at it, fixing up some of the
comments accordingly.

mm: memcg: make memory.oom.group tolerable to task migration

If a task is getting moved out of the OOMing cgroup, it might result in
unexpected OOM killings if memory.oom.group is used anywhere in the cgroup
tree.

Imagine the following example:

          A (oom.group = 1)
         / \
  (OOM) B   C

Let's say B's memory.max is exceeded and it's OOMing.  The OOM killer
selects a task in B as a victim, but someone asynchronously moves the task
into C.  mem_cgroup_get_oom_group() will iterate over all ancestors of C
up to the root cgroup.  In theory it had to stop at the oom_domain level -
the memory cgroup which is OOMing.  But because B is not an ancestor of C,
it's not happening.  Instead it chooses A (because it's oom.group is set),
and kills all tasks in A.  This behavior is wrong because the OOM happened
in B, so there is no reason to kill anything outside.

Fix this by checking it the memory cgroup to which the task belongs is a
descendant of the oom_domain.  If not, memory.oom.group should be ignored,
and the OOM killer should kill only the victim task.

memcg: css_tryget_online cleanups

Currently multiple locations in memcg code, css_tryget_online() is being

callers. Online used to matter when we had reparenting on offlining and
we needed a way to prevent new ones from showing up.

The failure case for couple of these css_tryget_online usage is to
fallback to root_mem_cgroup which kind of make bypassing the memcg
limits possible for some workloads. For example creating an inotify
group in a subcontainer and then deleting that container after moving the
process to a different container will make all the event objects
allocated for that group to the root_mem_cgroup. So, using
css_tryget_online() is dangerous for such cases.

Two locations still use the online version. The swapin of offlined
memcg's pages and the memcg kmem cache creation. The kmem cache indeed
needs the online version as the kernel does the reparenting of memcg
kmem caches. For the swapin case, it has been left for later as the
fallback is not really that concerning.

With swap accounting enabled, if the memcg of the swapped out page is
not online then the memcg extracted from the given 'mm' will be charged
and if 'mm' is NULL then root memcg will be charged.  However I could

4 years agomm: memcontrol: recursive memory.low protection
Johannes Weiner [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:07:07 +0000 (21:07 -0700)]
mm: memcontrol: recursive memory.low protection

Right now, the effective protection of any given cgroup is capped by its
own explicit memory.low setting, regardless of what the parent says.  The
reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make
delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all
memory.low up the tree.

Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire
subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection
allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly
undesirable in real life scenarios.

Consider memory in a data center host.  At the cgroup top level, we have a
distinction between system management software and the actual workload the
system is executing.  Both branches are further subdivided into individual
services, job components etc.

We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management
software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize
individual workload wrt each other.  Their memory demand can vary over
time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the
workload subtree.  Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to
allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order
to get protection from system management software in general.  This
results in very inefficient resource distribution.

Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the
complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels
to be informed about decisions made at the host-level.  Consider a
container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of
cgroups to run multiple workloads.  It'd be extremely difficult to
configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand
balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also
reflecting the host-level protection from e.g.  rpm upgrades, that lie
beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree.

It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to
be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be
effective.

To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this
patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar
to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource
allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to
the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating,
children to further specify distribution rules.

That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings,
those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like
they are now.  However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not
fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is
applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size.  Since
reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in
that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings -
with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was
enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally
within the subtree.  But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the
cgroups in neighboring trees.

E.g.  a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that
it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just
that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings.

This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another
(system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each
other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without
nested groups having to echo higher-level settings.

The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection.
Consider the following example tree:

A            A: low = 2G
               / \          A1: low = 1G
              A1 A2         A2: low = 0G

As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed
protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split
evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G.

There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the
top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high
"bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree.  Such
setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and
distributing it would change the intended behavior.  Be safe and hide the
new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

4 years agomm: memcontrol: fix memory.low proportional distribution
Johannes Weiner [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:07:00 +0000 (21:07 -0700)]
mm: memcontrol: fix memory.low proportional distribution

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: recursive memory.low protection", v3.

The current memory.low (and memory.min) semantics require protection to be
assigned to a cgroup in an untinterrupted chain from the top-level cgroup
all the way to the leaf.

In practice, we want to protect entire cgroup subtrees from each other
(system management software vs.  workload), but we would like the VM to
balance memory optimally *within* each subtree, without having to make
explicit weight allocations among individual components.  The current
semantics make that impossible.

They also introduce unmanageable complexity into more advanced resource
trees.  For example:

          host root
          `- system.slice
             `- rpm upgrades
             `- logging
          `- workload.slice
             `- a container
                `- system.slice
                `- workload.slice
                   `- job A
                      `- component 1
                      `- component 2
                   `- job B

At a host-level perspective, we would like to protect the outer
workload.slice subtree as a whole from rpm upgrades, logging etc.  But for
that to be effective, right now we'd have to propagate it down through the
container, the inner workload.slice, into the job cgroup and ultimately
the component cgroups where memory is actually, physically allocated.
This may cross several tree delegation points and namespace boundaries,
which make such a setup near impossible.

CPU and IO on the other hand are already distributed recursively.  The
user would simply configure allowances at the host level, and they would
apply to the entire subtree without any downward propagation.

To enable the above-mentioned usecases and bring memory in line with other
resource controllers, this patch series extends memory.low/min such that
settings apply recursively to the entire subtree.  Users can still assign
explicit shares in subgroups, but if they don't, any ancestral protection
will be distributed such that children compete freely amongst each other -
as if no memory control were enabled inside the subtree - but enjoy
protection from neighboring trees.

In the above example, the user would then be able to configure shares of
CPU, IO and memory at the host level to comprehensively protect and
isolate the workload.slice as a whole from system.slice activity.

Patch #1 fixes an existing bug that can give a cgroup tree more protection
than it should receive as per ancestor configuration.

Patch #2 simplifies and documents the existing code to make it easier to
reason about the changes in the next patch.

Patch #3 finally implements recursive memory protection semantics.

Because of a risk of regressing legacy setups, the new semantics are
hidden behind a cgroup2 mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

More details in patch #3.

This patch (of 3):

When memory.low is overcommitted - i.e.  the children claim more
protection than their shared ancestor grants them - the allowance is
distributed in proportion to how much each sibling uses their own declared
protection:

low_usage = min(memory.low, memory.current)
elow = parent_elow * (low_usage / siblings_low_usage)

However, siblings_low_usage is not the sum of all low_usages. It sums
up the usages of *only those cgroups that are within their memory.low*
That means that low_usage can be *bigger* than siblings_low_usage, and
consequently the total protection afforded to the children can be
bigger than what the ancestor grants the subtree.

Consider three groups where two are in excess of their protection:

  A/memory.low = 10G
  A/A1/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
  A/A2/memory.low = 10G, memory.current = 20G
  A/A3/memory.low = 10G, memory.current =  8G
  siblings_low_usage = 8G (only A3 contributes)

  A1/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 12.5G -> 10G
  A2/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(10G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 12.5G -> 10G
  A3/elow = parent_elow(10G) * low_usage(8G) / siblings_low_usage(8G) = 10.0G

  (the 12.5G are capped to the explicit memory.low setting of 10G)

With that, the sum of all awarded protection below A is 30G, when A
only grants 10G for the entire subtree.

What does this mean in practice? A1 and A2 would still be in excess of
their 10G allowance and would be reclaimed, whereas A3 would not. As
they eventually drop below their protection setting, they would be
counted in siblings_low_usage again and the error would right itself.

When reclaim was applied in a binary fashion (cgroup is reclaimed when
it's above its protection, otherwise it's skipped) this would actually
work out just fine. However, since 1bc63fb1272b ("mm, memcg: make scan
aggression always exclude protection"), reclaim pressure is scaled to
how much a cgroup is above its protection. As a result this
calculation error unduly skews pressure away from A1 and A2 toward the
rest of the system.

But why did we do it like this in the first place?

The reasoning behind exempting groups in excess from
siblings_low_usage was to go after them first during reclaim in an
overcommitted subtree:

  A/memory.low = 2G, memory.current = 4G
  A/A1/memory.low = 3G, memory.current = 2G
  A/A2/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 2G

  siblings_low_usage = 2G (only A1 contributes)
  A1/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(2G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 2G
  A2/elow = parent_elow(2G) * low_usage(1G) / siblings_low_usage(2G) = 1G

While the children combined are overcomitting A and are technically
both at fault, A2 is actively declaring unprotected memory and we
would like to reclaim that first.

However, while this sounds like a noble goal on the face of it, it
doesn't make much difference in actual memory distribution: Because A
is overcommitted, reclaim will not stop once A2 gets pushed back to
within its allowance; we'll have to reclaim A1 either way. The end
result is still that protection is distributed proportionally, with A1
getting 3/4 (1.5G) and A2 getting 1/4 (0.5G) of A's allowance.

[ If A weren't overcommitted, it wouldn't make a difference since each
  cgroup would just get the protection it declares:

  A/memory.low = 2G, memory.current = 3G
  A/A1/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 1G
  A/A2/memory.low = 1G, memory.current = 2G

  With the current calculation:

  siblings_low_usage = 1G (only A1 contributes)

mm: memcg/slab: use mem_cgroup_from_obj()

Sometimes we need to get a memcg pointer from a charged kernel object.
The right way to get it depends on whether it's a proper slab object or
it's backed by raw pages (e.g.  it's a vmalloc alloction).  In the first
case the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg indirection should be used; in
other cases it's just page->mem_cgroup.

To simplify this task and hide the implementation details let's use the
mem_cgroup_from_obj() helper, which takes a pointer to any kernel object
and returns a valid memcg pointer or NULL.

Passing a kernel address rather than a pointer to a page will allow to use
this helper for per-object (rather than per-page) tracked objects in the
future.

The caller is still responsible to ensure that the returned memcg isn't
going away underneath: take the rcu read lock, cgroup mutex etc; depending
on the context.

mem_cgroup_from_kmem() defined in mm/list_lru.c is now obsolete and can be
removed.

mm: swap: make page_evictable() inline

When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a7027 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping
pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with
a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce,
lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read).  I didn't see that much down
on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes).  It might be caused by the test configuration,
which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg,
so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru.  It sounds
not very usual in mordern production environment.

That commit did two major changes:
1. Call page_evictable()
2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible

It looks they contribute the most overhead.  The page_evictable() is a
function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by
page reclaim path only.  However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds
better to make it inline.  However, it calls page_mapping() which is not
inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop
operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it.

Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since
SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it
with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch.

With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test
bench and get back normal on my VM.  Since the test bench configuration is
not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it
sounds good enough IMHO.

The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4:
mainline w/ inline fix
          150MB            154MB

With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up.  The data with using
smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch.

Shakeel Butt did the below test:

On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100
GiB sparse file (less than a single node).  Just ran a single instance to
not cause the lru lock contention.  The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB
of=/dev/null bs=4k".  Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and
measured the time it took.

Without patch: 56.64143 +- 0.672 sec

With patches: 56.10 +- 0.21 sec

Currently we use a tmp pointer, pentry, to transfer and reset swap cache
slot, which is a little redundant.  Swap cache slot stores the entry value
directly, assign and reset it by value would be straight forward.

mm/gup: fix omission of check on FOLL_LONGTERM in gup fast path

FOLL_LONGTERM is a special case of FOLL_PIN.  It suggests a pin which is
going to be given to hardware and can't move.  It would truncate CMA
permanently and should be excluded.

In gup slow path, where
__gup_longterm_locked->check_and_migrate_cma_pages() handles
FOLL_LONGTERM, but in fast path, there lacks such a check, which means a
possible leak of CMA page to longterm pinned.

Place a check in try_grab_compound_head() in the fast path to fix the
leak, and if FOLL_LONGTERM happens on CMA, it will fall back to slow path
to migrate the page.

Some note about the check: Huge page's subpages have the same migrate type
due to either allocation from a free_list[] or alloc_contig_range() with
param MIGRATE_MOVABLE.  So it is enough to check on a single subpage by
is_migrate_cma_page(subpage)

mm/gup/writeback: add callbacks for inaccessible pages

With the introduction of protected KVM guests on s390 there is now a
concept of inaccessible pages.  These pages need to be made accessible
before the host can access them.

While cpu accesses will trigger a fault that can be resolved, I/O accesses
will just fail.  We need to add a callback into architecture code for
places that will do I/O, namely when writeback is started or when a page
reference is taken.

This is not only to enable paging, file backing etc, it is also necessary
to protect the host against a malicious user space.  For example a bad
QEMU could simply start direct I/O on such protected memory.  We do not
want userspace to be able to trigger I/O errors and thus the logic is
"whenever somebody accesses that page (gup) or does I/O, make sure that
this page can be accessed".  When the guest tries to access that page we
will wait in the page fault handler for writeback to have finished and for
the page_ref to be the expected value.

On s390x the function is not supposed to fail, so it is ok to use a
WARN_ON on failure.  If we ever need some more finegrained handling we can
tackle this when we know the details.

It's good to have basic unit test coverage of the new FOLL_PIN behavior.
Fortunately, the gup_benchmark unit test is extremely fast (a few
milliseconds), so adding it the the run_vmtests suite is going to cause no
noticeable change in running time.

So, add two new invocations to run_vmtests:

1) Run gup_benchmark with normal get_user_pages().

2) Run gup_benchmark with pin_user_pages().  This is much like the
   first call, except that it sets FOLL_PIN.

Running these two in quick succession also provide a visual comparison of
the running times, which is convenient.

The new invocations are fairly early in the run_vmtests script, because
with test suites, it's usually preferable to put the shorter, faster tests
first, all other things being equal.

a padding field in the union (so no new space is used).

This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound
pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives"
problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block.  That is
because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they
get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount.

Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

4 years agomm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages
John Hubbard [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:05:29 +0000 (21:05 -0700)]
mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages

Add tracking of pages that were pinned via FOLL_PIN.  This tracking is
implemented via overloading of page->_refcount: pins are added by adding
GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024) to the refcount.  This provides a fuzzy
indication of pinning, and it can have false positives (and that's OK).
Please see the pre-existing Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for
details.

As mentioned in pin_user_pages.rst, callers who effectively set FOLL_PIN
(typically via pin_user_pages*()) are required to ultimately free such
pages via unpin_user_page().

Please also note the limitation, discussed in pin_user_pages.rst under the
"TODO: for 1GB and larger huge pages" section.  (That limitation will be
removed in a following patch.)

The effect of a FOLL_PIN flag is similar to that of FOLL_GET, and may be
thought of as "FOLL_GET for DIO and/or RDMA use".

Pages that have been pinned via FOLL_PIN are identifiable via a new
function call:

   bool page_maybe_dma_pinned(struct page *page);

What to do in response to encountering such a page, is left to later
patchsets. There is discussion about this in [1], [2], [3], and [4].

This also changes a BUG_ON(), to a WARN_ON(), in follow_page_mask().

4 years agomm/gup: split get_user_pages_remote() into two routines
John Hubbard [Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:05:10 +0000 (21:05 -0700)]
mm/gup: split get_user_pages_remote() into two routines

Patch series "mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages", v6.

This activates tracking of FOLL_PIN pages.  This is in support of fixing
the get_user_pages()+DMA problem described in [1]-[4].

FOLL_PIN support is now in the main linux tree.  However, the patch to use
FOLL_PIN to track pages was *not* submitted, because Leon saw an RDMA test
suite failure that involved (I think) page refcount overflows when huge
pages were used.

This patch definitively solves that kind of overflow problem, by adding an
exact pincount, for compound pages (of order > 1), in the 3rd struct page
of a compound page.  If available, that form of pincounting is used,
instead of the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS approach.  Thanks again to Jan Kara
for that idea.

Other interesting changes:

* dump_page(): added one, or two new things to report for compound
  pages: head refcount (for all compound pages), and map_pincount (for
  compound pages of order > 1).

* Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst: removed the "TODO" for the
  huge page refcount upper limit problems, and added notes about how it
  works now.  Also added a note about the dump_page() enhancements.

* Added some comments in gup.c and mm.h, to explain that there are two
  ways to count pinned pages: exact (for compound pages of order > 1) and
  fuzzy (GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS: for all other pages).

============================================================
General notes about the tracking patch:

This is a prerequisite to solving the problem of proper interactions
between file-backed pages, and [R]DMA activities, as discussed in [1],
[2], [3], [4] and in a remarkable number of email threads since about
2017.  :)

In contrast to earlier approaches, the page tracking can be incrementally
applied to the kernel call sites that, until now, have been simply calling
get_user_pages() ("gup").  In other words, opt-in by changing from this:

    get_user_pages() (sets FOLL_GET)
    put_page()

to this:
    pin_user_pages() (sets FOLL_PIN)
    unpin_user_page()

============================================================
Future steps:

* Convert more subsystems from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages().
  The first probably needs to be bio/biovecs, because any filesystem
  testing is too difficult without those in place.

* Change VFS and filesystems to respond appropriately when encountering
  dma-pinned pages.

* Work with Ira and others to connect this all up with file system
  leases.

This patch (of 12):

An upcoming patch requires reusing the implementation of
get_user_pages_remote().  Split up get_user_pages_remote() into an outer
routine that checks flags, and an implementation routine that will be
reused.  This makes subsequent changes much easier to understand.

There should be no change in behavior due to this patch.

mm/filemap.c: clear page error before actual read

Mount failure issue happens under the scenario: Application forked dozens
of threads to mount the same number of cramfs images separately in docker,
but several mounts failed with high probability.  Mount failed due to the
checking result of the page(read from the superblock of loop dev) is not
uptodate after wait_on_page_locked(page) returned in function cramfs_read:

   wait_on_page_locked(page);
   if (!PageUptodate(page)) {
      ...
   }

The reason of the checking result of the page not uptodate: systemd-udevd
read the loopX dev before mount, because the status of loopX is Lo_unbound
at this time, so loop_make_request directly trigger the calling of io_end
handler end_buffer_async_read, which called SetPageError(page).  So It
caused the page can't be set to uptodate in function
end_buffer_async_read:

   if(page_uptodate && !PageError(page)) {
      SetPageUptodate(page);
   }

Then mount operation is performed, it used the same page which is just
accessed by systemd-udevd above, Because this page is not uptodate, it
will launch a actual read via submit_bh, then wait on this page by calling
wait_on_page_locked(page).  When the I/O of the page done, io_end handler
end_buffer_async_read is called, because no one cleared the page
error(during the whole read path of mount), which is caused by
systemd-udevd reading, so this page is still in "PageError" status, which
can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read, then caused
mount failure.

But sometimes mount succeed even through systemd-udeved read loopX dev
just before, The reason is systemd-udevd launched other loopX read just
between step 3.1 and 3.2, the steps as below:

1, loopX dev default status is Lo_unbound;
2, systemd-udved read loopX dev (page is set to PageError);
3, mount operation
   1) set loopX status to Lo_bound;
   ==>systemd-udevd read loopX dev<==
   2) read loopX dev(page has no error)
   3) mount succeed

As the loopX dev status is set to Lo_bound after step 3.1, so the other
loopX dev read by systemd-udevd will go through the whole I/O stack, part
of the call trace as below:

   SYS_read
      vfs_read
          do_sync_read
              blkdev_aio_read
                 generic_file_aio_read
                     do_generic_file_read:
                        ClearPageError(page);
                        mapping->a_ops->readpage(filp, page);

here, mapping->a_ops->readpage() is blkdev_readpage.  In latest kernel,
some function name changed, the call trace as below:

   blkdev_read_iter
      generic_file_read_iter
         generic_file_buffered_read:
            /*
             * A previous I/O error may have been due to temporary
             * failures, eg. mutipath errors.
             * Pg_error will be set again if readpage fails.
             */
            ClearPageError(page);
            /* Start the actual read. The read will unlock the page*/
            error=mapping->a_ops->readpage(flip, page);

We can see ClearPageError(page) is called before the actual read,
then the read in step 3.2 succeed.

This patch is to add the calling of ClearPageError just before the actual
read of read path of cramfs mount.  Without the patch, the call trace as
below when performing cramfs mount:

   do_mount
      cramfs_read
         cramfs_blkdev_read
            read_cache_page
               do_read_cache_page:
                  filler(data, page);
                  or
                  mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page);

With the patch, the call trace as below when performing mount:

   do_mount
      cramfs_read
         cramfs_blkdev_read
            read_cache_page:
               do_read_cache_page:
                  ClearPageError(page); <== new add
                  filler(data, page);
                  or
                  mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page);

With the patch, mount operation trigger the calling of
ClearPageError(page) before the actual read, the page has no error if no
additional page error happen when I/O done.
