The problem is we loop on mdelay(1) and with a 1ms in 10ms hypervisor
timeslice each of these will take 10ms (ie 10x) longer.  I expect other

Johannes Weiner [Fri, 5 Mar 2010 21:42:22 +0000 (13:42 -0800)]
vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once

The VM currently assumes that an inactive, mapped and referenced file page
is in use and promotes it to the active list.

However, every mapped file page starts out like this and thus a problem
arises when workloads create a stream of such pages that are used only for
a short time.  By flooding the active list with those pages, the VM
quickly gets into trouble finding eligible reclaim canditates.  The result
is long allocation latencies and eviction of the wrong pages.

This patch reuses the PG_referenced page flag (used for unmapped file
pages) to implement a usage detection that scales with the speed of LRU
list cycling (i.e.  memory pressure).

If the scanner encounters those pages, the flag is set and the page cycled
again on the inactive list.  Only if it returns with another page table
reference it is activated.  Otherwise it is reclaimed as 'not recently
used cache'.

This effectively changes the minimum lifetime of a used-once mapped file
page from a full memory cycle to an inactive list cycle, which allows it
to occur in linear streams without affecting the stable working set of the
system.

Johannes Weiner [Fri, 5 Mar 2010 21:42:21 +0000 (13:42 -0800)]
vmscan: drop page_mapping_inuse()

page_mapping_inuse() is a historic predicate function for pages that are
about to be reclaimed or deactivated.

According to it, a page is in use when it is mapped into page tables OR
part of swap cache OR backing an mmapped file.

This function is used in combination with page_referenced(), which checks
for young bits in ptes and the page descriptor itself for the
PG_referenced bit.  Thus, checking for unmapped swap cache pages is
meaningless as PG_referenced is not set for anonymous pages and unmapped
pages do not have young ptes.  The test makes no difference.

Protecting file pages that are not by themselves mapped but are part of a
mapped file is also a historic leftover for short-lived things like the
exec() code in libc.  However, the VM now does reference accounting and
activation of pages at unmap time and thus the special treatment on
reclaim is obsolete.

This patch drops page_mapping_inuse() and switches the two callsites to
use page_mapped() directly.

14 years agovmscan: factor out page reference checks
Johannes Weiner [Fri, 5 Mar 2010 21:42:19 +0000 (13:42 -0800)]
vmscan: factor out page reference checks

The used-once mapped file page detection patchset.

It is meant to help workloads with large amounts of shortly used file
mappings, like rtorrent hashing a file or git when dealing with loose
objects (git gc on a bigger site?).

Right now, the VM activates referenced mapped file pages on first
encounter on the inactive list and it takes a full memory cycle to
reclaim them again.  When those pages dominate memory, the system
no longer has a meaningful notion of 'working set' and is required
to give up the active list to make reclaim progress.  Obviously,
this results in rather bad scanning latencies and the wrong pages
being reclaimed.

This patch makes the VM be more careful about activating mapped file
pages in the first place.  The minimum granted lifetime without
another memory access becomes an inactive list cycle instead of the
full memory cycle, which is more natural given the mentioned loads.

This test resembles a hashing rtorrent process.  Sequentially, 32MB
chunks of a file are mapped into memory, hashed (sha1) and unmapped
again.  While this happens, every 5 seconds a process is launched and
its execution time taken:

python2.4 -c 'import pydoc'
old: max=2.31s mean=1.26s (0.34)
new: max=1.25s mean=0.32s (0.32)

find /etc -type f
old: max=2.52s mean=1.44s (0.43)
new: max=1.92s mean=0.12s (0.17)

vim -c ':quit'
old: max=6.14s mean=4.03s (0.49)
new: max=3.48s mean=2.41s (0.25)

mplayer --help
old: max=8.08s mean=5.74s (1.02)
new: max=3.79s mean=1.32s (0.81)

overall hash time (stdev):
old: time=1192.30 (12.85) thruput=25.78mb/s (0.27)
new: time=1060.27 (32.58) thruput=29.02mb/s (0.88) (-11%)

I also tested kernbench with regular IO streaming in the background to
see whether the delayed activation of frequently used mapped file
pages had a negative impact on performance in the presence of pressure
on the inactive list.  The patch made no significant difference in
timing, neither for kernbench nor for the streaming IO throughput.

The first patch submission raised concerns about the cost of the extra
faults for actually activated pages on machines that have no hardware
support for young page table entries.

I created an artificial worst case scenario on an ARM machine with
around 300MHz and 64MB of memory to figure out the dimensions
involved.  The test would mmap a file of 20MB, then

  1. touch all its pages to fault them in
  2. force one full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU
  -- old: mapping pages activated
  -- new: mapping pages inactive
  3. touch the mapping pages again
  -- old and new: fault exceptions to set the young bits
  4. force another full scan cycle on the inactive file LRU
  5. touch the mapping pages one last time
  -- new: fault exceptions to set the young bits

The test showed an overall increase of 6% in time over 100 iterations
of the above (old: ~212sec, new: ~225sec).  13 secs total overhead /
(100 * 5k pages), ignoring the execution time of the test itself,
makes for about 25us overhead for every page that gets actually
activated.  Note:

  1. File mapping the size of one third of main memory, _completely_
  in active use across memory pressure - i.e., most pages referenced
  within one LRU cycle.  This should be rare to non-existant,
  especially on such embedded setups.

  2. Many huge activation batches.  Those batches only occur when the
  working set fluctuates.  If it changes completely between every full
  LRU cycle, you have problematic reclaim overhead anyway.

  3. Access of activated pages at maximum speed: sequential loads from
  every single page without doing anything in between.  In reality,
  the extra faults will get distributed between actual operations on
  the data.

So even if a workload manages to get the VM into the situation of
activating a third of memory in one go on such a setup, it will take
2.2 seconds instead 2.1 without the patch.

Comparing the numbers (and my user-experience over several months),
I think this change is an overall improvement to the VM.

Patch 1 is only refactoring to break up that ugly compound conditional
in shrink_page_list() and make it easy to document and add new checks
in a readable fashion.

Patch 2 gets rid of the obsolete page_mapping_inuse().  It's not
strictly related to #3, but it was in the original submission and is a
net simplification, so I kept it.

Patch 3 implements used-once detection of mapped file pages.

This patch:

Moving the big conditional into its own predicate function makes the code
a bit easier to read and allows for better commenting on the checks
one-by-one.

This is just cleaning up, no semantics should have been changed.

mm: suppress pfn range output for zones without pages

free_area_init_nodes() emits pfn ranges for all zones on the system.
There may be no pages on a higher zone, however, due to memory limitations
or the use of the mem= kernel parameter.  For example:

Zone PFN ranges:
  DMA      0x00000001 -> 0x00001000
  DMA32    0x00001000 -> 0x00100000
  Normal   0x00100000 -> 0x00100000

The implementation copies the previous zone's highest pfn, if any, as the
next zone's lowest pfn.  If its highest pfn is then greater than the
amount of addressable memory, the upper memory limit is used instead.
Thus, both the lowest and highest possible pfn for higher zones without
memory may be the same.

The pfn range for zones without memory is now shown as "empty" instead.

mm/swapfile.c: fix swapon size off-by-one

There's an off-by-one disagreement between mkswap and swapon about the
meaning of swap_header last_page: mkswap (in all versions I've looked at:
util-linux-ng and BusyBox and old util-linux; probably as far back as
1999) consistently means the offset (in page units) of the last page of
the swap area, whereas kernel sys_swapon (as far back as 2.2 and 2.3)
strangely takes it to mean the size (in page units) of the swap area.

This disagreement is the safe way round; but it's worrying people, and
loses us one page of swap.

The fix is not just to add one to nr_good_pages: we need to get maxpages
(the size of the swap_map array) right before that; and though that is an
unsigned long, be careful not to overflow the unsigned int p->max which
later holds it (probably why header uses __u32 last_page instead of size).

Why did we subtract one from the maximum swp_offset to calculate maxpages?
 Though it was probably me who made that change in 2.4.10, I don't get it:
and now we should be adding one (without risk of overflow in this case).

Fix the handling of swap_header badpages: it could have overrun the
swap_map when very large swap area used on a more limited architecture.

Remove pre-initializations of swap_header, nr_good_pages and maxpages:
those date from when sys_swapon was supporting other versions of header.

It is also impossible for the rmap code to follow a pointer to an already

chain.

Hence, we should not need the VM_LOCK_RMAP locking at all.

14 years agomm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue
Rik van Riel [Fri, 5 Mar 2010 21:42:07 +0000 (13:42 -0800)]
mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue

The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads.  Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.

In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes.  However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.

This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock.  This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands.  Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.

This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA.  At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated.  The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.

This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
 This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.

The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations.  This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures.  This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.

A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock.  To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag.  This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.

Some test results:

Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.

With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time.  The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

readahead: introduce FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM

This fixes inefficient page-by-page reads on POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.

POSIX_FADV_RANDOM used to set ra_pages=0, which leads to poor performance:
a 16K read will be carried out in 4 _sync_ 1-page reads.

In other places, ra_pages==0 means
- it's ramfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs/sysfs/configfs
- some IO error happened
where multi-page read IO won't help or should be avoided.

POSIX_FADV_RANDOM actually want a different semantics: to disable the
*heuristic* readahead algorithm, and to use a dumb one which faithfully
submit read IO for whatever application requests.

So introduce a flag FMODE_RANDOM for POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.

Note that the random hint is not likely to help random reads performance
noticeably.  And it may be too permissive on huge request size (its IO
size is not limited by read_ahead_kb).

In Quentin's report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/24/145), the overall
(NFS read) performance of the application increased by 313%!

Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.

 rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
 [before]
     4.5 cache-miss/faults
 [after]
     4.0 cache-miss/faults
