16 years agohugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size
Andi Kleen [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:27:41 +0000 (21:27 -0700)]
hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes.  This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg.  huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).

The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.

This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.

Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

This should help to check that vmalloc() is able to respect NUMA policies.

Example of output on a four nodes machine (one cpu per node)

1) network hash tables are evenly spreaded on four nodes (OK) (Same
   point for inodes and dentries hash tables)

2) iptables tables (x_tables) are correctly allocated on each cpu node
   (OK).

3) sys_swapon() allocates its memory from one node only.

4) each loaded module is using memory on one node.

Sysadmins could tune their setup to change points 3) and 4) if necessary.

16 years agohugetlb reservations: fix hugetlb MAP_PRIVATE reservations across vma splits
Andy Whitcroft [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:27:32 +0000 (21:27 -0700)]
hugetlb reservations: fix hugetlb MAP_PRIVATE reservations across vma splits

When a hugetlb mapping with a reservation is split, a new VMA is cloned
from the original.  This new VMA is a direct copy of the original
including the reservation count.  When this pair of VMAs are unmapped we
will incorrect double account the unused reservation and the overall
reservation count will be incorrect, in extreme cases it will wrap.

The problem occurs when we split an existing VMA say to unmap a page in
the middle.  split_vma() will create a new VMA copying all fields from the
original.  As we are storing our reservation count in vm_private_data this
is also copies, endowing the new VMA with a duplicate of the original
VMA's reservation.  Neither of the new VMAs can exhaust these reservations
as they are too small, but when we unmap and close these VMAs we will
incorrect credit the remainder twice and resv_huge_pages will become out
of sync.  This can lead to allocation failures on mappings with
reservations and even to resv_huge_pages wrapping which prevents all
subsequent hugepage allocations.

The simple fix would be to correctly apportion the remaining reservation
count when the split is made.  However the only hook we have vm_ops->open
only has the new VMA we do not know the identity of the preceeding VMA.
Also even if we did have that VMA to hand we do not know how much of the
reservation was consumed each side of the split.

This patch therefore takes a different tack.  We know that the whole of
any private mapping (which has a reservation) has a reservation over its
whole size.  Any present pages represent consumed reservation.  Therefore
if we track the instantiated pages we can calculate the remaining
reservation.

This patch reuses the existing regions code to track the regions for which
we have consumed reservation (ie.  the instantiated pages), as each page
is faulted in we record the consumption of reservation for the new page.
When we need to return unused reservations at unmap time we simply count
the consumed reservation region subtracting that from the whole of the
map.  During a VMA split the newly opened VMA will point to the same
region map, as this map is offset oriented it remains valid for both of
the split VMAs.  This map is referenced counted so that it is removed when
all VMAs which are part of the mmap are gone.

applications of this type should be rare.

This patch stack implements the MAP_NORESERVE mmap() flag for huge page
mappings.  This flag has the same meaning as for small page mappings,
suppressing reservations for that mapping.

Thanks to Mel Gorman for reviewing a number of early versions of these
patches.

This patch:

When a small page mapping is created with mmap() reservations are created
by default for any memory pages required.  When the region is read/write
the reservation is increased for every page, no reservation is needed for
read-only regions (as they implicitly share the zero page).  Reservations
are tracked via the VM_ACCOUNT vma flag which is present when the region
has reservation backing it.  When we convert a region from read-only to
read-write new reservations are aquired and VM_ACCOUNT is set.  However,
when a read-only map is created with MAP_NORESERVE it is indistinguishable
from a normal mapping.  When we then convert that to read/write we are
forced to incorrectly create reservations for it as we have no record of
the original MAP_NORESERVE.

This patch introduces a new vma flag VM_NORESERVE which records the
presence of the original MAP_NORESERVE flag.  This allows us to
distinguish these two circumstances and correctly account the reserve.

As well as fixing this FIXME in the code, this makes it much easier to
introduce MAP_NORESERVE support for huge pages as this flag is available
consistantly for the life of the mapping.  VM_ACCOUNT on the other hand is
heavily used at the generic level in association with small pages.

Mel Gorman [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:27:25 +0000 (21:27 -0700)]
hugetlb: guarantee that COW faults for a process that called mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed

After patch 2 in this series, a process that successfully calls mmap() for
a MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be guaranteed to successfully fault until a
process calls fork().  At that point, the next write fault from the parent
could fail due to COW if the child still has a reference.

We only reserve pages for the parent but a copy must be made to avoid
leaking data from the parent to the child after fork().  Reserves could be
taken for both parent and child at fork time to guarantee faults but if
the mapping is large it is highly likely we will not have sufficient pages
for the reservation, and it is common to fork only to exec() immediatly
after.  A failure here would be very undesirable.

Note that the current behaviour of mainline with MAP_PRIVATE pages is
pretty bad.  The following situation is allowed to occur today.

1. Process calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE)
2. Process calls mlock() to fault all pages and makes sure it succeeds
3. Process forks()
4. Process writes to MAP_PRIVATE mapping while child still exists
5. If the COW fails at this point, the process gets SIGKILLed even though it
   had taken care to ensure the pages existed

This patch improves the situation by guaranteeing the reliability of the
process that successfully calls mmap().  When the parent performs COW, it
will try to satisfy the allocation without using reserves.  If that fails
the parent will steal the page leaving any children without a page.
Faults from the child after that point will result in failure.  If the
child COW happens first, an attempt will be made to allocate the page
without reserves and the child will get SIGKILLed on failure.

To summarise the new behaviour:

1. If the original mapper performs COW on a private mapping with multiple
   references, it will attempt to allocate a hugepage from the pool or
   the buddy allocator without using the existing reserves. On fail, VMAs
   mapping the same area are traversed and the page being COW'd is unmapped
   where found. It will then steal the original page as the last mapper in
   the normal way.

2. The VMAs the pages were unmapped from are flagged to note that pages
   with data no longer exist. Future no-page faults on those VMAs will
   terminate the process as otherwise it would appear that data was corrupted.
   A warning is printed to the console that this situation occured.

2. If the child performs COW first, it will attempt to satisfy the COW
   from the pool if there are enough pages or via the buddy allocator if
   overcommit is allowed and the buddy allocator can satisfy the request. If
   it fails, the child will be killed.

If the pool is large enough, existing applications will not notice that
the reserves were a factor.  Existing applications depending on the
no-reserves been set are unlikely to exist as for much of the history of
hugetlbfs, pages were prefaulted at mmap(), allocating the pages at that
point or failing the mmap().

hugetlb: reserve huge pages for reliable MAP_PRIVATE hugetlbfs mappings until fork()

This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in
a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings.  The
reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for
private mappings.  This guarantees that a process that successfully calls
mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is
called.

The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after
this patch are;

1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until
   it forks().
2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private
   mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably
   reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of
   hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as
   might occur when fork()ing to exec().
3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already
   faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough
   huge pages being free in the pool.
4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper
   and at fault time otherwise.

Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page
allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent.  This applies
to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW.  After the
patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

hugetlb: move hugetlb_acct_memory()

This is a patchset to give reliable behaviour to a process that
successfully calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on a hugetlbfs file.  Currently, it
is possible for the process to be killed due to a small hugepage pool size
even if it calls mlock().

MAP_SHARED mappings on hugetlbfs reserve huge pages at mmap() time.  This
guarantees all future faults against the mapping will succeed.  This
allows local allocations at first use improving NUMA locality whilst
retaining reliability.

MAP_PRIVATE mappings do not reserve pages.  This can result in an
application being SIGKILLed later if a huge page is not available at fault
time.  This makes huge pages usage very ill-advised in some cases as the
unexpected application failure cannot be detected and handled as it is
immediately fatal.  Although an application may force instantiation of the
pages using mlock(), this may lead to poor memory placement and the
process may still be killed when performing COW.

This patchset introduces a reliability guarantee for the process which
creates a private mapping, i.e.  the process that calls mmap() on a
hugetlbfs file successfully.  The first patch of the set is purely
mechanical code move to make later diffs easier to read.  The second patch
will guarantee faults up until the process calls fork().  After patch two,
as long as the child keeps the mappings, the parent is no longer
guaranteed to be reliable.  Patch 3 guarantees that the parent will always
successfully COW by unmapping the pages from the child in the event there
are insufficient pages in the hugepage pool in allocate a new page, be it
via a static or dynamic pool.

Existing hugepage-aware applications are unlikely to be affected by this
change.  For much of hugetlbfs's history, pages were pre-faulted at mmap()
time or mmap() failed which acts in a reserve-like manner.  If the pool is
sized correctly already so that parent and child can fault reliably, the
application will not even notice the reserves.  It's only when the pool is
too small for the application to function perfectly reliably that the
reserves come into play.

Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for cleaning up a number of mistakes during
review before the patches were released.

This patch:

A later patch in this set needs to call hugetlb_acct_memory() before it is
defined.  This patch moves the function without modification.  This makes
later diffs easier to read.

page-flags: record page flag overlays explicitly

With the recent page flag reorganisation we have a single enum which
defines the valid page flags and their values, nice and clear.  However
there are a number of bits which are overloaded by different subsystems.
Firstly there is PG_owner_priv_1 which is used by filesystems and by XEN.
Secondly both SLOB and SLUB use a couple of extra page bits to manage
internal state for pages they own; both overlay other bits.  All of these
"aliases" are scattered about the source making it very hard for a reader
to know if the bits are safe to rely on in all contexts; confusion here is
bad.

As we now have a single place where the bits are clearly assigned it makes
sense to clarify the reuse of bits by making the aliases explicit and
visible with the original bit assignments.  This patch creates explicit
aliases within the enum itself for the overloaded bits, creates standard
bit accessors PageFoo etc.  and uses those throughout.

This version pulls the bit manipulation out to standard named page bit
accessors as suggested by Christoph, it retains the explicit mapping to
the overlayed bits.  A fusion of both ideas.  This has been SLUB and SLOB
have been compile tested on x86_64 only, and SLUB boot tested.  If people
feel this is worth doing then I can run a fuller set of testing.

This patch:

Some page flags are used for more than one purpose, for example
PG_owner_priv_1.  Currently there are individual accessors for each user,
each built using the common flag name far away from the bit definitions.
This makes it hard to see all possible uses of these bits.

Now that we have a single enum to generate the bit orders it makes sense
to express overlays in the same place.  So create per use aliases for this
bit in the main page-flags enum and use those in the accessors.

16 years agofix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries
Kentaro Makita [Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:27:13 +0000 (21:27 -0700)]
fix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries

[Summary]

 Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft
 lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem.

 Previously I posted here:
 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590

[Descriptions]

- background

  dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced.
  dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are
  released.  This list can be very long if there is huge free memory.

- the problem

  When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly
  under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given
  superblock, scan next dentry.  This scan costs very much if there are
  many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks.

  IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans
  unused dentries on all superblocks in the system.  For example, we scan
  500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused
  dentries on other superblocks.

  In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink
  unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on
  superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems.  I hear NFS
  mounting took 1 min on some system in use.

* : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by
  this problem.

  100,000,000 is possible number on large systems.

  Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in
  reasonable manner.

- How to fix

  I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock
  unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to
  reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2).

  1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318
  2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320

  Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks.  Then, NFS
  mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all.  But
  this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused.  So, I've attempted to
  make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of
  dentries to scan on this sb based on following way

  number of dentries to scan on this sb =
  count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine)

- ToDo
 - I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests.

 - When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same
  superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone
  away.  We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes
  unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock.  But I think
  this happens very rarely.

- Test Results

  Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.

buddy: clarify comments describing buddy merge

Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required

16 years agox86_64: remove bogus optimization in sysret_signal
Roland McGrath [Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:41:12 +0000 (20:41 -0700)]
x86_64: remove bogus optimization in sysret_signal

This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me.
AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were,
it would go wrong.  To wit, try loading a module whose init
function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash
(presumably with a wrong user stack pointer).

This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet
when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to
int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to
have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.

I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no
_TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are
already superfluous.  If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call
do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do.
