lib/test_sort.c: make it explicitly non-modular

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

     lib/Kconfig.debug:config TEST_SORT
     lib/Kconfig.debug:      bool "Array-based sort test"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the code there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case,
the init ordering becomes slightly earlier when we change it to use
subsys_initcall as done here.  However, since it is a self contained
test, this shouldn't be an issue and subsys_initcall seems like a better
fit for this particular case.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag since that information is now
contained at the top of the file in the comments.

There's really two parts to this commit:
 - First, the first half of the test: (!nbits || start >= nbits) is
   trivially a subset of the second half, since nbits and start are both

 - Second, while looking at the disassembly, I noticed that GCC was

   clearly the less likely of the two branches, so add an unlikely() to

run within a non default memcg, then it uncovers the bug fixed by
"kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects"[1].

If run without fix [1] it shows "Slab cache still has objects", and the
kmem_cache structure is leaked.
Here's an unpatched kernel test:

 $ dmesg -c > /dev/null
 $ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
 $ echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks
 $ modprobe test_kasan 2> /dev/null
 $ dmesg | grep -B1 still
 [ 123.456789] kasan test: memcg_accounted_kmem_cache allocate memcg accounted object
 [ 124.456789] kmem_cache_destroy test_cache: Slab cache still has objects

Kernels with fix [1] don't have the "Slab cache still has objects"
warning or the underlying leak.

The new test runs and passes in the default (root) memcg, though in the
root memcg it won't uncover the problem fixed by [1].

7 years agokasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects
Greg Thelen [Fri, 24 Feb 2017 23:00:05 +0000 (15:00 -0800)]
kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects

Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache
destruction.
 - kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for
   allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg.
 - Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either
   __GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg
   kmem_cache.
 - Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free()
   defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine.
 - kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes
   care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's
   kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This
   causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg
   kmem cache being destroyed.

To see the problem:

 1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,)
 2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache
 3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy()
    will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating
    that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked.

Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non
root memcg.

Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled.  kmem_cache_destroy() =>
shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache()
flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been
rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches().

This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is
enabled.  So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.

7 years agomemory-hotplug: use dev_online for memhp_auto_online

memory-hotplug: use dev_online for memhp_auto_online

Commit 31bc3858ea3e ("add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory") provides the capability to have added memory automatically
onlined during add, but this appears to be slightly broken.

The current implementation uses walk_memory_range() to call
online_memory_block, which uses memory_block_change_state() to online
the memory.  Instead, we should be calling device_online() for the
memory block in online_memory_block().  This would online the memory
(the memory bus online routine memory_subsys_online() called from
device_online calls memory_block_change_state()) and properly update the
device struct offline flag.

As a result of the current implementation, attempting to remove a memory
block after adding it using auto online fails.  This is because doing a
remove, for instance

  echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state

uses device_offline() which checks the dev->offline flag.

mm/page_alloc: fix nodes for reclaim in fast path

When @node_reclaim_node isn't 0, the page allocator tries to reclaim
pages if the amount of free memory in the zones are below the low
watermark.  On Power platform, none of NUMA nodes are scanned for page
reclaim because no nodes match the condition in zone_allows_reclaim().
On Power platform, RECLAIM_DISTANCE is set to 10 which is the distance
of Node-A to Node-A.  So the preferred node even won't be scanned for
page reclaim.

   __alloc_pages_nodemask()
   get_page_from_freelist()
      zone_allows_reclaim()

Anton proposed the test code as below:

   # cat alloc.c
      :
   int main(int argc, char *argv[])
   {
void *p;
unsigned long size;
unsigned long start, end;

start = time(NULL);
size = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0);
printf("To allocate %ldGB memory\n", size);

size <<= 30;
p = malloc(size);
assert(p);
memset(p, 0, size);

end = time(NULL);
printf("Used time: %ld seconds\n", end - start);
sleep(3600);
return 0;
   }

The system I use for testing has two NUMA nodes.  Both have 128GB
memory.  In below scnario, the page caches on node#0 should be reclaimed
when it encounters pressure to accommodate request of allocation.

   # echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode; \
     sync; \
     echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; \
   # taskset -c 0 cat file.32G > /dev/null; \

With the patch applied, the pagecache on node-0 is reclaimed when its

from the above data, the benefit is about 2.5% and up to 3% of total

mm/autonuma: let architecture override how the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.

Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2.

This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma
preserve write feature.  migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal
with concurrent modification of the page.  It does a page copy without
following the migration pte sequence.  IIUC, this was done to keep the
migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP
page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme.
That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write
to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update the page
content.  This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that.  We are
good with the hash translation mode with the current code, because we
never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte.

This patch (of 2):

Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid
taking a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b106ea " mm: numa:
preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault").
Architecture can implement protnone in different ways and some may
choose to implement that by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte.
Setting the write bit on such pte can result in wrong behaviour.  Fix
this up by allowing arch to override how to save the write bit on a
protnone pte.

mm, vmscan: clear PGDAT_WRITEBACK when zone is balanced

Hillf Danton pointed out that since commit 1d82de618dd ("mm, vmscan:
make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") that PGDAT_WRITEBACK is no
longer cleared.

It was not noticed as triggering it requires pages under writeback to
cycle twice through the LRU and before kswapd gets stalled.
Historically, such issues tended to occur on small machines writing
heavily to slow storage such as a USB stick.

Once kswapd stalls, direct reclaim stalls may be higher but due to the
fact that memory pressure is required, it would not be very noticable.

Michal Hocko suggested removing the flag entirely but the conservative
fix is to restore the intended PGDAT_WRITEBACK behaviour and clear the
flag when a suitable zone is balanced.

mm: alloc_contig_range: allow to specify GFP mask

Currently alloc_contig_range assumes that the compaction should be done
with the default GFP_KERNEL flags.  This is probably right for all
current uses of this interface, but may change as CMA is used in more
use-cases (including being the default DMA memory allocator on some
platforms).

Change the function prototype, to allow for passing through the GFP mask
set by upper layers.

Also respect global restrictions by applying memalloc_noio_flags to the
passed in flags.

background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.

Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.

The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

7 years agomm: call vm_munmap in munmap syscall instead of using open coded version
Mike Rapoport [Fri, 24 Feb 2017 22:58:19 +0000 (14:58 -0800)]
mm: call vm_munmap in munmap syscall instead of using open coded version

Patch series "userfaultfd: non-cooperative: better tracking for mapping
changes", v2.

These patches try to address issues I've encountered during integration
of userfaultfd with CRIU.

Previously added userfaultfd events for fork(), madvise() and mremap()
unfortunately do not cover all possible changes to a process virtual
memory layout required for uffd monitor.

When one or more VMAs is removed from the process mm, the external uffd
monitor has no way to detect those changes and will attempt to fill the
removed regions with userfaultfd_copy.

Another problematic event is the exit() of the process.  Here again, the
external uffd monitor will try to use userfaultfd_copy, although mm
owning the memory has already gone.

The first patch in the series is a minor cleanup and it's not strictly
related to the rest of the series.

The patches 2 and 3 below add UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP and UFFD_EVENT_EXIT to
allow the uffd monitor track changes in the memory layout of a process.

The patches 4 and 5 amend error codes returned by userfaultfd_copy to
make the uffd monitor able to cope with races that might occur between
delivery of unmap and exit events and outstanding userfaultfd_copy's.

This patch (of 5):

Commit dc0ef0df7b6a ("mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm
syscalls") replaced call to vm_munmap in munmap syscall with open coded
version to allow different waits on mmap_sem in munmap syscall and
vm_munmap.

Now both functions use down_write_killable, so we can restore the call
to vm_munmap from the munmap system call.

cannot find all relevant PTEs, only the first one.  It means we can miss
some references of the page and it can result in suboptimal decisions by
vmscan.

Let's switch it to page_vma_mapped_walk().

effect is that THP can be swapped out when it shouldn't.

7 years agouprobes: split THPs before trying to replace them

uprobes: split THPs before trying to replace them

Patch series "Fix few rmap-related THP bugs", v3.

The patchset fixes handing PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced() and
page_idle_clear_pte_refs().

To achieve that I've intrdocued new helper -- page_vma_mapped_walk() --
which replaces all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() and covers all THP
cases.

Patchset overview:
  - First patch fixes one uprobe bug (unrelated to the rest of the
    patchset, just spotted it at the same time);

  - Patches 2-5 fix handling PTE-mapped THPs in page_referenced(),
    page_idle_clear_pte_refs() and rmap core;

  - Patches 6-12 convert all page_check_address{,_transhuge}() users
    (plus remove_migration_pte()) to page_vma_mapped_walk() and drop
    unused helpers.

I think the fixes are not critical enough for stable@ as they don't lead
to crashes or hangs, only suboptimal behaviour.

This patch (of 12):

For THPs page_check_address() always fails.  It leads to endless loop in
uprobe_write_opcode().

Testcase with huge-tmpfs (uprobes cannot probe anonymous memory).

mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt
gcc -Wall -O2 -o /mnt/test -x c - <<EOF
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}
/* Padding to map the code segment with huge pmd */

EOF
echo 'p /mnt/test:0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable

7 years agomm, x86: add support for PUD-sized transparent hugepages

mm, x86: add support for PUD-sized transparent hugepages

The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs.  This patch
adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX.  It does not include
support for anonymous pages.  x86 support code also added.

Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge
PMDs.  The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in
mm_walk works.  The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method,
whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or
->pte_entry.  The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before
calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is
stable.

mm,fs,dax: change ->pmd_fault to ->huge_fault

Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2.

The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on
x86 for device dax.  The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a
while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX.  I have
forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc.  The current submission has
only the necessary code to support device DAX.

Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this
functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in
hugetlbfs.  Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an
in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can
already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file.  We have
customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous
version of these patches [1].

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52

Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle:

There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume
10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a
server; we are looking at the following:

processes         : 10,000
memory            :    6TB
pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB
pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB
pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB

As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant
amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings
it down to a reasonable level.  Memory sizes will keep increasing; so
this number will keep increasing.

An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model
to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical.
Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable.

This patch (of 3):

In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert
vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault.  The
vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page
table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to
indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

mm, page_alloc: use static global work_struct for draining per-cpu pages

As suggested by Vlastimil Babka and Tejun Heo, this patch uses a static
work_struct to co-ordinate the draining of per-cpu pages on the
workqueue.  Only one task can drain at a time but this is better than
the previous scheme that allowed multiple tasks to send IPIs at a time.

One consideration is whether parallel requests should synchronise
against each other.  This patch does not synchronise for a global drain
as the common case for such callers is expected to be multiple parallel
direct reclaimers competing for pages when the watermark is close to
min.  Draining the per-cpu list is unlikely to make much progress and
serialising the drain is of dubious merit.  Drains are synchonrised for
callers such as memory hotplug and CMA that care about the drain being
complete when the function returns.

in each iteration, which we can avoid by not adding ALLOC_CPUSET to
alloc_flags in that scenario.

This saves some cycles in the allocator fast path on systems with one or

7 years agomm, page_alloc: only use per-cpu allocator for irq-safe requests

mm, page_alloc: only use per-cpu allocator for irq-safe requests

Many workloads that allocate pages are not handling an interrupt at a
time.  As allocation requests may be from IRQ context, it's necessary to
disable/enable IRQs for every page allocation.  This cost is the bulk of
the free path but also a significant percentage of the allocation path.

This patch alters the locking and checks such that only irq-safe
allocation requests use the per-cpu allocator.  All others acquire the
irq-safe zone->lock and allocate from the buddy allocator.  It relies on
disabling preemption to safely access the per-cpu structures.  It could
be slightly modified to avoid soft IRQs using it but it's not clear it's
worthwhile.

This modification may slow allocations from IRQ context slightly but the
main gain from the per-cpu allocator is that it scales better for
allocations from multiple contexts.  There is an implicit assumption
that intensive allocations from IRQ contexts on multiple CPUs from a
single NUMA node are rare and that the fast majority of scaling issues
are encountered in !IRQ contexts such as page faulting.  It's worth
noting that this patch is not required for a bulk page allocator but it
significantly reduces the overhead.

The following is results from a page allocator micro-benchmark.  Only

by 14-20% in most cases.  The free path is reduced by 26-46% and the

Many users require zeroing of pages from the page allocator which is the
vast cost of allocation.  Hence, the impact on a basic page faulting
benchmark is not that significant

This is from aim9 and the most notable outcome is that fault variability
is reduced by the patch.  The headline improvement is small as the
overall fault cost, zeroing, page table insertion etc dominate relative
to disabling/enabling IRQs in the per-cpu allocator.

Similarly, little benefit was seen on networking benchmarks both
localhost and between physical server/clients where other costs
dominate.  It's possible that this will only be noticable on very high
speed networks.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer independently tested this with a separate
microbenchmark from

Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the page allocator is just too
dangerous.  Let's remove the dependency by dropping get_online_cpus()
from drain_all_pages.  This is not so simple though because now we do
not have a protection against cpu hotplug which means 2 things:

  - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from
    unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu

  - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead
    calling drain_pages_zone

Disabling preemption in drain_local_pages_wq will solve the first
problem drain_local_pages will determine its local CPU from the WQ
context which will be stable after that point, page_alloc_cpu_dead is
pinned to the CPU already.  The later condition is achieved by disabling
IRQs in drain_pages_zone.

The per-cpu page allocator can be drained immediately via

per-cpu allocator will only be used for interrupt-safe allocations which
prevents draining it from IPI context.  This patch uses workqueues to
drain the per-cpu lists instead.

This is slower but no slowdown during intensive reclaim was measured and
the paths that use drain_all_pages() are not that sensitive to
performance.  This is particularly true as the path would only be
triggered when reclaim is failing.  It also makes a some sense to avoid
storming a machine with IPIs when it's under memory pressure.  Arguably,
it should be further adjusted so that only one caller at a time is
draining pages but it's beyond the scope of the current patch.

mm, page_alloc: split buffered_rmqueue()

Patch series "Use per-cpu allocator for !irq requests and prepare for a
bulk allocator", v5.

This series is motivated by a conversation led by Jesper Dangaard Brouer
at the last LSF/MM proposing a generic page pool for DMA-coherent pages.
Part of his motivation was due to the overhead of allocating multiple
order-0 that led some drivers to use high-order allocations and
splitting them.  This is very slow in some cases.

The first two patches in this series restructure the page allocator such
that it is relatively easy to introduce an order-0 bulk page allocator.
A patch exists to do that and has been handed over to Jesper until an
in-kernel users is created.  The third patch prevents the per-cpu
allocator being drained from IPI context as that can potentially corrupt
the list after patch four is merged.  The final patch alters the per-cpu
alloctor to make it exclusive to !irq requests.  This cuts
allocation/free overhead by roughly 30%.

Performance tests from both Jesper and me are included in the patch.

This patch (of 4):

buffered_rmqueue removes a page from a given zone and uses the per-cpu
list for order-0.  This is fine but a hypothetical caller that wanted
multiple order-0 pages has to disable/reenable interrupts multiple
times.  This patch structures buffere_rmqueue such that it's relatively
easy to build a bulk order-0 page allocator.  There is no functional
change.

7 years agomm: vmscan: move dirty pages out of the way until they're flushed

mm: vmscan: move dirty pages out of the way until they're flushed

We noticed a performance regression when moving hadoop workloads from
3.10 kernels to 4.0 and 4.6.  This is accompanied by increased pageout
activity initiated by kswapd as well as frequent bursts of allocation
stalls and direct reclaim scans.  Even lowering the dirty ratios to the
equivalent of less than 1% of memory would not eliminate the issue,
suggesting that dirty pages concentrate where the scanner is looking.

This can be traced back to recent efforts of thrash avoidance.  Where
3.10 would not detect refaulting pages and continuously supply clean
cache to the inactive list, a thrashing workload on 4.0+ will detect and
activate refaulting pages right away, distilling used-once pages on the
inactive list much more effectively.  This is by design, and it makes
sense for clean cache.  But for the most part our workload's cache
faults are refaults and its use-once cache is from streaming writes.  We
end up with most of the inactive list dirty, and we don't go after the
active cache as long as we have use-once pages around.

But waiting for writes to avoid reclaiming clean cache that *might*
refault is a bad trade-off.  Even if the refaults happen, reads are
faster than writes.  Before getting bogged down on writeback, reclaim
should first look at *all* cache in the system, even active cache.

To accomplish this, activate pages that are dirty or under writeback
when they reach the end of the inactive LRU.  The pages are marked for
immediate reclaim, meaning they'll get moved back to the inactive LRU
tail as soon as they're written back and become reclaimable.  But in the
meantime, by reducing the inactive list to only immediately reclaimable
pages, we allow the scanner to deactivate and refill the inactive list
with clean cache from the active list tail to guarantee forward
progress.

mm: vmscan: only write dirty pages that the scanner has seen twice

Dirty pages can easily reach the end of the LRU while there are still
clean pages to reclaim around.  Don't let kswapd write them back just
because there are a lot of them.  It costs more CPU to find the clean
pages, but that's almost certainly better than to disrupt writeback from
the flushers with LRU-order single-page writes from reclaim.  And the
flushers have been woken up by that point, so we spend IO capacity on
flushing and CPU capacity on finding the clean cache.

Only start writing dirty pages if they have cycled around the LRU twice
now and STILL haven't been queued on the IO device.  It's possible that
the dirty pages are so sparsely distributed across different bdis,
inodes, memory cgroups, that the flushers take forever to get to the
ones we want reclaimed.  Once we see them twice on the LRU, we know
that's the quicker way to find them, so do LRU writeback.

mm: vmscan: remove old flusher wakeup from direct reclaim path

Direct reclaim has been replaced by kswapd reclaim in pretty much all
common memory pressure situations, so this code most likely doesn't
accomplish the described effect anymore.  The previous patch wakes up
flushers for all reclaimers when we encounter dirty pages at the tail
end of the LRU.  Remove the crufty old direct reclaim invocation.

7 years agomm: vmscan: kick flushers when we encounter dirty pages on the LRU

mm: vmscan: kick flushers when we encounter dirty pages on the LRU

Memory pressure can put dirty pages at the end of the LRU without
anybody running into dirty limits.  Don't start writing individual pages
from kswapd while the flushers might be asleep.

Unlike the old direct reclaim flusher wakeup (removed in the next patch)
that flushes the number of pages just scanned, this patch wakes the
flushers for all outstanding dirty pages.  That seemed to perform better
in a synthetic test that pushes dirty pages to the end of the LRU and
into reclaim, because we know LRU aging outstrips writeback already, and
this way we give younger dirty pages a headstart rather than wait until
reclaim runs into them as well.  It also means less plugging and risk of
exhausting the struct request pool from reclaim.

There is a concern that this will cause temporary files that used to get
dirtied and truncated before writeback to now get written to disk under
memory pressure.  If this turns out to be a real problem, we'll have to
revisit this and tame the reclaim flusher wakeups.

[hannes@cmpxchg.org: mention dirty expiration as a condition]
