printk: add __printf attributes to internal functions

When compiling with -Wsuggest-attribute=format, gcc complains that some
functions in kernel/printk/printk_safe.c transmit their argument to
printf-like functions without having a printf attribute. Silence these
warnings by adding relevant __printf attributes.

7 years agoprintk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is available
Petr Mladek [Thu, 20 Apr 2017 08:52:31 +0000 (10:52 +0200)]
printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is available

The commit 42a0bb3f71383b457a7d ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe
printk in NMI") caused that printk stores messages into a temporary
buffer in NMI context.

The buffer is per-CPU and therefore the size is rather limited.
It works quite well for NMI backtraces. But there are longer logs
that might get printed in NMI context, for example, lockdep
warnings, ftrace_dump_on_oops.

The temporary buffer is used to avoid deadlocks caused by
logbuf_lock. Also it is needed to avoid races with the other
temporary buffer that is used when PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT is entered.
But the main buffer can be used in NMI if the lock is available
and we did not interrupt PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT.

The lock is checked using raw_spin_is_locked(). It might cause
false negatives when the lock is taken on another CPU and
this CPU is in the safe context from other reasons. Note that
the safe context is used also to get console semaphore or when
calling console drivers. For this reason, we do the check in
printk_nmi_enter(). It makes the handling consistent for
the entire NMI handler and avoids reshuffling of the messages.

The patch also defines special printk context that allows
to use printk_deferred() in NMI. Note that we could not flush
the messages to the consoles because console drivers might use
many other internal locks.

The newly created vprintk_deferred() disables the preemption
only around the irq work handling. It is needed there to keep
the consistency between the two per-CPU variables. But there
is no reason to disable preemption around vprintk_emit().

Finally, the patch puts back explicit serialization of the NMI
backtraces from different CPUs. It was removed by the
commit a9edc88093287183ac934b ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe
NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). It was not needed because
the flushing of the temporary per-CPU buffers was serialized.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - There is a situation when early console is not deregistered because
   the preferred one matches a wrong entry. It caused messages to appear
   twice.

   This is the 2nd attempt to fix it. The first one was wrong, see the
   commit c6c7d83b9c9e ('Revert "console: don't prefer first registered
   if DT specifies stdout-path"').

   The fix is coupled with some small code clean up. Well, the console
   registration code would deserve a big one. We need to think about it.

 - Do not lose information about the preemtive context when the console
   semaphore is re-taken.

 - Do not block CPU hotplug when someone else is already pushing
   messages to the console.

7 years agofs: fix data invalidation in the cleancache during direct IO
Andrey Ryabinin [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:55:59 +0000 (14:55 -0700)]
fs: fix data invalidation in the cleancache during direct IO

Patch series "Properly invalidate data in the cleancache", v2.

We've noticed that after direct IO write, buffered read sometimes gets
stale data which is coming from the cleancache.  The reason for this is
that some direct write hooks call call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]()
conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero, so we may not invalidate
data in the cleancache.

Another odd thing is that we check only for ->nrpages and don't check
for ->nrexceptional, but invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] also
invalidates exceptional entries as well.  So we invalidate exceptional
entries only if ->nrpages != 0? This doesn't feel right.

 - Patch 1 fixes direct IO writes by removing ->nrpages check.
 - Patch 2 fixes similar case in invalidate_bdev().
     Note: I only fixed conditional cleancache_invalidate_inode() here.
       Do we also need to add ->nrexceptional check in into invalidate_bdev()?

 - Patches 3-4: some optimizations.

This patch (of 4):

Some direct IO write fs hooks call invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]()
conditionally iff mapping->nrpages is not zero.  This can't be right,
because invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() also invalidate data in the
cleancache via cleancache_invalidate_inode() call.  So if page cache is
empty but there is some data in the cleancache, buffered read after
direct IO write would get stale data from the cleancache.

Also it doesn't feel right to check only for ->nrpages because
invalidate_inode_pages2[_range] invalidates exceptional entries as well.

Fix this by calling invalidate_inode_pages2[_range]() regardless of
nrpages state.

Note: nfs,cifs,9p doesn't need similar fix because the never call
cleancache_get_page() (nor directly, nor via mpage_readpage[s]()), so
they are not affected by this bug.

This patch (of 6):

Johannes Thumshirn reported system goes the panic when using NVMe over
Fabrics loopback target with zram.

The reason is zram expects each bvec in bio contains a single page
but nvme can attach a huge bulk of pages attached to the bio's bvec
so that zram's index arithmetic could be wrong so that out-of-bound
access makes system panic.

[1] in mainline solved solved the problem by limiting max_sectors with
SECTORS_PER_PAGE but it makes zram slow because bio should split with
each pages so this patch makes zram aware of multiple pages in a bvec
so it could solve without any regression(ie, bio split).

7 years agomm, page_alloc: remove debug_guardpage_minorder() test in warn_alloc()
Tetsuo Handa [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:55:34 +0000 (14:55 -0700)]
mm, page_alloc: remove debug_guardpage_minorder() test in warn_alloc()

Commit c0a32fc5a2e4 ("mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging")
changed to check debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 when reporting
allocation failures.  The reasoning was

  When we use guard page to debug memory corruption, it shrinks
  available pages to 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and so on, depending on parameter
  value. In such case memory allocation failures can be common and
  printing errors can flood dmesg. If somebody debug corruption,
  allocation failures are not the things he/she is interested about.

but this is misguided.

Allocation requests with __GFP_NOWARN flag by definition do not cause
flooding of allocation failure messages.  Allocation requests with
__GFP_NORETRY flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag.  Costly
allocation requests likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag.

Allocation requests without __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag likely also have
__GFP_NOWARN flag or __GFP_HIGH flag.  Non-costly allocation requests
with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag basically retry forever due to the "too
small to fail" memory-allocation rule.

Therefore, as a whole, shrinking available pages by
debug_guardpage_minorder= kernel boot parameter might cause flooding of
OOM killer messages but unlikely causes flooding of allocation failure
messages.  Let's remove debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 check which would
likely be pointless.

* Renamed struct page pointer 'p' to 'page'.

* pr_info() was essentially printing PFN value but it said 'page'
  which was misleading. Made the process virtual address explicit.

mm: vmscan: fix IO/refault regression in cache workingset transition

Since commit 59dc76b0d4df ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file
list") we noticed bigger IO spikes during changes in cache access
patterns.

The patch in question shrunk the inactive list size to leave more room
for the current workingset in the presence of streaming IO.  However,
workingset transitions that previously happened on the inactive list are
now pushed out of memory and incur more refaults to complete.

This patch disables active list protection when refaults are being
observed.  This accelerates workingset transitions, and allows more of
the new set to establish itself from memory, without eating into the
ability to protect the established workingset during stable periods.

The workloads that were measurably affected for us were hit pretty bad
by it, with refault/majfault rates doubling and tripling during cache
transitions, and the machines sustaining half-hour periods of 100% IO
utilization, where they'd previously have sub-minute peaks at 60-90%.

Stateful services that handle user data tend to be more conservative
with kernel upgrades.  As a result we hit most page cache issues with
some delay, as was the case here.

The severity seemed to warrant a stable tag.

7 years agooom: improve oom disable handling
Michal Hocko [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:54:57 +0000 (14:54 -0700)]
oom: improve oom disable handling

Tetsuo has reported that sysrq triggered OOM killer will print a
misleading information when no tasks are selected:

  sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
  Out of memory: Kill process 4468 ((agetty)) score 0 or sacrifice child
  Killed process 4468 ((agetty)) total-vm:43704kB, anon-rss:1760kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
  sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
  Out of memory: Kill process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) score 0 or sacrifice child
  Killed process 4469 (systemd-cgroups) total-vm:10704kB, anon-rss:120kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
  sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
  sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
  sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
  sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled
  sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
  sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled

The real reason is that there are no eligible tasks for the OOM killer
to select but since commit 7c5f64f84483 ("mm: oom: deduplicate victim
selection code for memcg and global oom") the semantic of out_of_memory
has changed without updating moom_callback.

This patch updates moom_callback to tell that no task was eligible which
is the case for both oom killer disabled and no eligible tasks.  In
order to help distinguish first case from the second add printk to both
oom_killer_{enable,disable}.  This information is useful on its own
because it might help debugging potential memory allocation failures.

mm: enable page poisoning early at boot

On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up,
because of the dependency on page extension init.  This causes the pages
released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned.  This either delays or
misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to
undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be
detected.

Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON
flag.  Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not
be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

The cond_resched() added in the commit cbab0e4eec29 is not necessary now

7 years agomm/vmscan: more restrictive condition for retry in do_try_to_free_pages

mm/vmscan: more restrictive condition for retry in do_try_to_free_pages

By reviewing code, I find that when enter do_try_to_free_pages, the
may_thrash is always clear, and it will retry shrink zones to tap
cgroup's reserves memory by setting may_thrash when the former
shrink_zones reclaim nothing.

However, when memcg is disabled or on legacy hierarchy, or there do not
have any memcg protected by low limit, it should not do this useless
retry at all, for we do not have any cgroup's reserves memory to tap,
and we have already done hard work but made no progress, which as Michal
pointed out in former version, we are trying hard to control the retry
logical of page alloctor, and the current additional round of reclaim is
just lame.

Therefore, to avoid this unneeded retrying and make code more readable,
we remove the may_thrash field in scan_control, instead, introduce
memcg_low_reclaim and memcg_low_skipped, and only retry when
memcg_low_skipped, by setting memcg_low_reclaim.

7 years agomm, vmscan: prevent kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idx
Mel Gorman [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:53:45 +0000 (14:53 -0700)]
mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idx

kswapd is woken to reclaim a node based on a failed allocation request
from any eligible zone.  Once reclaiming in balance_pgdat(), it will
continue reclaiming until there is an eligible zone available for the
zone it was woken for.  kswapd tracks what zone it was recently woken
for in pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx.  If it has not been woken recently,
this zone will be 0.

However, the decision on whether to sleep is made on
kswapd_classzone_idx which is 0 without a recent wakeup request and that
classzone does not account for lowmem reserves.  This allows kswapd to
sleep when a low small zone such as ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA
request even if a stream of allocations cannot use that zone.  While
kswapd may be woken again shortly in the near future there are two
consequences -- the pgdat bits that control congestion are cleared
prematurely and direct reclaim is more likely as kswapd slept
prematurely.

This patch flips kswapd_classzone_idx to default to MAX_NR_ZONES (an
invalid index) when there has been no recent wakeups.  If there are no
wakeups, it'll decide whether to sleep based on the highest possible
zone available (MAX_NR_ZONES - 1).  It then becomes critical that the
"pgdat balanced" decisions during reclaim and when deciding to sleep are
the same.  If there is a mismatch, kswapd can stay awake continually
trying to balance tiny zones.

simoop was used to evaluate it again.  Two of the preparation patches
regressed the workload so they are included as the second set of
results.  Otherwise this patch looks artifically excellent

Swap-outs are equivalent to baseline.

Direct reclaim is reduced but not eliminated.  It's worth noting that
there are two periods of direct reclaim for this workload.  The first is
when it switches from preparing the files for the actual test itself.
It's a lot of file IO followed by a lot of allocs that reclaims heavily
for a brief window.  While direct reclaim is lower with clear-v2, it is
due to kswapd scanning aggressively and trying to reclaim the world
which is not the right thing to do.  With the patches applied, there is
still direct reclaim but the phase change from "creating work files" to
starting multiple threads that allocate a lot of anonymous memory faster
than kswapd can reclaim.

Scanning/reclaim efficiency is restored by this patch.

Page writes from reclaim context are back at 0 which is ideal.

Pages immediately reclaimed after IO completes is slightly improved but
it is expected this will vary slightly.

On UMA, there is almost no change so this is not expected to be a
universal win.

A pgdat tracks if recent reclaim encountered too many dirty, writeback

from reclaim context, tags pages for immediate reclaim when IO
completes, whether processes block on wait_iff_congested and whether
kswapd blocks when too many pages marked for immediate reclaim are
encountered.

The state is cleared in a check function with side-effects.  With the
patch "mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep", the
timing of when the bits get cleared changed.  Due to the way the check
works, it'll clear the bits if ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA
allocation because it does not account for lowmem reserves properly.

For the simoop workload, kswapd is not stalling when it should due to
the premature clearing, writing pages from reclaim context like crazy
and generally being unhelpful.

introduces other issues that are noted in the changelog.  Patch 2 makes
a minor modification that is worth considering on its own but leaves the

This was mostly motivated by examining Chris Mason's "simoop" benchmark
which puts the VM under similar pressure to HADOOP.  It has been
reported that the benchmark has regressed severely during the last

latencies for 50% of the samples, 95% and 99% respectively.

For example, the report indicates that while the test was running 99% of
writes completed 99.75% faster.  It's worth noting that on a UMA machine
that no difference in performance with simoop was observed so milage
will vary.

It's noted that there is a slight impact to read latencies but it's
mostly due to IO scheduler decisions and offset by the large reduction
in other latencies.

This patch (of 3):

The check in prepare_kswapd_sleep needs to match the one in
balance_pgdat since the latter will return as soon as any one of the
zones in the classzone is above the watermark.  This is specially
important for higher order allocations since balance_pgdat will
typically reset the order to zero relying on compaction to create the
higher order pages.  Without this patch, prepare_kswapd_sleep fails to
wake up kcompactd since the zone balance check fails.

It was first reported against 4.9.7 that kswapd is failing to wake up
kcompactd due to a mismatch in the zone balance check between
balance_pgdat() and prepare_kswapd_sleep().

balance_pgdat() returns as soon as a single zone satisfies the
allocation but prepare_kswapd_sleep() requires all zones to do +the
same.  This causes prepare_kswapd_sleep() to never succeed except in the
order == 0 case and consequently, wakeup_kcompactd() is never called.
For the machine that originally motivated this patch, the state of
compaction from /proc/vmstat looked this way after a day and a half +of
uptime:

compact_migrate_scanned 240496
compact_free_scanned 76238632
compact_isolated 123472
compact_stall 1791
compact_fail 29
compact_success 1762
compact_daemon_wake 0

After applying the patch and about 10 hours of uptime the state looks
like this:

compact_migrate_scanned 59927299
compact_free_scanned 2021075136
compact_isolated 640926
compact_stall 4
compact_fail 2
compact_success 2
compact_daemon_wake 5160

Further notes from Mel that motivated him to pick this patch up and
resend it;

It was observed for the simoop workload (pressures the VM similar to
HADOOP) that kswapd was failing to keep ahead of direct reclaim.  The
investigation noted that there was a need to rationalise kswapd
decisions to reclaim with kswapd decisions to sleep.  With this patch on
a 2-socket box, there was a 49% reduction in direct reclaim scanning.

However, the impact otherwise is extremely negative.  Kswapd reclaim
efficiency dropped from 98% to 76%.  simoop has three latency-related
metrics for read, write and allocation (an anonymous mmap and fault).

Of greater concern is that the patch causes swapping and page writes
from kswapd context rose from 0 pages to 4189753 pages during the hour
the workload ran for.  By and large, the patch has very bad behaviour
but easily missed as the impact on a UMA machine is negligible.

This patch is included with the data in case a bisection leads to this
area.  This patch is also a pre-requisite for the rest of the series.

mm: tighten up the fault path a little

If we change round_up() to ((x) + __round_mask(x, y)) & ~__round_mask(x, y)
then GCC can see through it and remove the mask (because that would be
dead code given the subsequent shift):

    48cd:       49 8b 47 50             mov    0x50(%r15),%rax

But that's problematic because we'd evaluate 'y' twice.  Converting
round_up into an inline function prevents it from being used in other
definitions.  The easiest thing to do is just change these three usages
of round_up to use DIV_ROUND_UP.  Also add an unlikely() because GCC's
heuristic is wrong in this case.

7 years agomm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API
Michal Hocko [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:53:15 +0000 (14:53 -0700)]
mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API

GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently:

 - to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation
   context would be needed during the memory reclaim

 - to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the
   allocation is performed from a deep context already

 - to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other
   reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly

 - just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV

 - silence lockdep false positives

Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to
the MM.  Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS
metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer
doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the
FS layer.

In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used
and so it might be used unnecessarily.  We would like to get rid of
those as much as possible.  One way to do that is to use the flag in
scopes rather than isolated cases.  Such a scope is declared when really
necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within
the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic.

Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are
much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this
also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g.
crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey
the allocation context between the layers.

Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of
GFP_NOFS allocation context.  This is basically copying
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation
context GFP_NOIO.  The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is
just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently.
There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it.

PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS
implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO.  memalloc_noio_flags
is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts.  Xfs code paths preserve
their semantic.  kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag
anymore.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp.  ~__GFP_FS)
usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

To quote Dave:
 "Ignoring whether reflink should be doing anything or not, that's a
  "xfs_refcountbt_init_cursor() gets called both outside and inside
  transactions" lockdep false positive case. The problem here is lockdep
  has seen this allocation from within a transaction, hence a GFP_NOFS
  allocation, and now it's seeing it in a GFP_KERNEL context. Also note
  that we have an active reference to this inode.

  So, because the reclaim annotations overload the interrupt level
  detections and it's seen the inode ilock been taken in reclaim
  ("interrupt") context, this triggers a reclaim context warning where
  it thinks it is unsafe to do this allocation in GFP_KERNEL context
  holding the inode ilock..."

This sounds like a fundamental problem of the reclaim lock detection.
It is really impossible to annotate such a special usecase IMHO unless
the reclaim lockup detection is reworked completely.  Until then it is
much better to provide a way to add "I know what I am doing flag" and
mark problematic places.  This would prevent from abusing GFP_NOFS flag
which has a runtime effect even on configurations which have lockdep
disabled.

Introduce __GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag which tells the lockdep gfp tracking to
skip the current allocation request.

While we are at it also make sure that the radix tree doesn't
accidentaly override tags stored in the upper part of the gfp_mask.

7 years agolockdep: teach lockdep about memalloc_noio_save
Nikolay Borisov [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:53:05 +0000 (14:53 -0700)]
lockdep: teach lockdep about memalloc_noio_save

Patch series "scope GFP_NOFS api", v5.

This patch (of 7):

Commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") added the memalloc_noio_(save|restore)
functions to enable people to modify the MM behavior by disabling I/O
during memory allocation.

This was further extended in commit 934f3072c17c ("mm: clear __GFP_FS
when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set").

memalloc_noio_* functions prevent allocation paths recursing back into
the filesystem without explicitly changing the flags for every
allocation site.

However, lockdep hasn't been keeping up with the changes and it entirely
misses handling the memalloc_noio adjustments.  Instead, it is left to
the callers of __lockdep_trace_alloc to call the function after they
have shaven the respective GFP flags which can lead to false positives:

mm, vmstat: print non-populated zones in zoneinfo

Initscripts can use the information (protection levels) from
/proc/zoneinfo to configure vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio at boot.

vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array of ratios for each configured zone
on the system.  If a zone is not populated on an arch, /proc/zoneinfo
suppresses its output.

This results in there not being a 1:1 mapping between the set of zones
emitted by /proc/zoneinfo and the zones configured by
vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio.

This patch shows statistics for non-populated zones in /proc/zoneinfo.
The zones exist and hold a spot in the vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio array.
Without this patch, it is not possible to determine which index in the
array controls which zone if one or more zones on the system are not
populated.

Remaining users of walk_zones_in_node() are unchanged.  Files such as
/proc/pagetypeinfo require certain zone data to be initialized properly
for display, which is not done for unpopulated zones.

7 years agomm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache()

mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache()

Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing
page information later.  But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock
(or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap
entry.  So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be
changed in another thread.  If the page swap count is not 0, we should
not delete the page from the swap cache.  This is fixed via checking
page swap count again after acquiring the page lock.

I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race
via a test program.  If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by
multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and
swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.
That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and
the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance
regression.

7 years agomm: move MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list

mm: move MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list

madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'.  They are still
anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout.  To distinguish
these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag.

MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like
used once file pages.  For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once
there is memory pressure.  Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE
pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to
reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.

To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into
LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list.  The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny
nowadays and should be full of used once file pages.  Reclaiming
MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active
file pages.  And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be
reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE
pages too.  Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also
means we can reclaim the pages without swap support.  This idea is
suggested by Johannes.

This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to
avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it.

The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

7 years agomm: delete unnecessary TTU_* flags
Shaohua Li [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:52:22 +0000 (14:52 -0700)]
mm: delete unnecessary TTU_* flags

Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.

We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc.  Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.

 - Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
   we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
   MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
   reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
   fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
   environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
   our setup using MADV_FREE.

 - Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
   against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
   because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
   slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
   still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
   mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
   lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
   usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.

 - Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
   accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
   problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
   MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
   lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
   workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
   applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
   applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.

To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes).  The
patchset use the second idea.  The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages.  So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages.  Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages.  MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages.  These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.

For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages.  The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages.  The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side.  To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay.  Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily.  The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.

This patch (of 6):

Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary.  It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap.  For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.

Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary.  If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.

The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal
code

This was done at a time when reclaim decisions like dirty throttling

Nowadays, the only meaningful thing still tied to priority dropping
below DEF_PRIORITY - 2 is gating whether laptop_mode=1 is generally
allowed to write.  But that is from an era where direct reclaim was
still allowed to call ->writepage, and kswapd nowadays avoids writes
until it's scanned every clean page in the system.  Potential changes to
how quick sc->may_writepage could trigger are of little concern.

Remove the force_scan stuff, as well as the ugly multi-pass target
calculation that it necessitated.

mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodes

Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".

Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage.  We have seen similar cases at Facebook.

The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages.  In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met.  Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.

This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs.  This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer.  If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.

Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.

Patch #6 is the odd one out.  It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.

If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.

This patch (of 9):

Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:

$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

top - 13:42:59 up  3:37,  1 user,  load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01

At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.

Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance.  Up until
commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism.  It considered zones whose
theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as
unreclaimable and backed away from them.  This guard was erroneously
removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node.

However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported
here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the
threshold is met.  Kswapd would stay awake anyway.

Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off.  If kswapd runs
through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single
page, make it back off from the node.  This is the same number of shots
direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM.  Kswapd will go to sleep on
that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus
proving the node reclaimable again.

7 years agoslab: avoid IPIs when creating kmem caches
Greg Thelen [Wed, 3 May 2017 21:51:47 +0000 (14:51 -0700)]
slab: avoid IPIs when creating kmem caches

Each slab kmem cache has per cpu array caches.  The array caches are
created when the kmem_cache is created, either via kmem_cache_create()
or lazily when the first object is allocated in context of a kmem
enabled memcg.  Array caches are replaced by writing to /proc/slabinfo.

Array caches are protected by holding slab_mutex or disabling
interrupts.  Array cache allocation and replacement is done by
__do_tune_cpucache() which holds slab_mutex and calls
kick_all_cpus_sync() to interrupt all remote processors which confirms
there are no references to the old array caches.

IPIs are needed when replacing array caches.  But when creating a new
array cache, there's no need to send IPIs because there cannot be any
references to the new cache.  Outside of memcg kmem accounting these
IPIs occur at boot time, so they're not a problem.  But with memcg kmem
accounting each container can create kmem caches, so the IPIs are
wasteful.

Avoid unnecessary IPIs when creating array caches.

Test which reports the IPI count of allocating slab in 10000 memcg:

import os

def ipi_count():
with open("/proc/interrupts") as f:
for l in f:
if 'Function call interrupts' in l:
return int(l.split()[1])

def echo(val, path):
with open(path, "w") as f:
f.write(val)

n = 10000
os.chdir("/mnt/cgroup/memory")
pid = str(os.getpid())
a = ipi_count()
for i in range(n):
os.mkdir(str(i))
echo("1G\n", "%d/memory.limit_in_bytes" % i)
echo("1G\n", "%d/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes" % i)
echo(pid, "%d/cgroup.procs" % i)
open("/tmp/x", "w").close()
os.unlink("/tmp/x")
b = ipi_count()
print "%d loops: %d => %d (+%d ipis)" % (n, a, b, b-a)
echo(pid, "cgroup.procs")
for i in range(n):
os.rmdir(str(i))

patched:   10000 loops: 1069 => 1170 (+101 ipis)
unpatched: 10000 loops: 1192 => 48933 (+47741 ipis)
