From a1400af755631f5267f7cc3d0fda5ba72f58d7d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 00:38:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm, proc: report PR_SET_THP_DISABLE in proc David Rientjes has reported that commit 1860033237d4 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we report THPable VMAs to the userspace. Their monitoring tool is triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp. memory pressure issue. Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc//smaps file. This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for the process wide THP enabled/disabled status. PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to export in the process wide context rather than per-vma. Introduce a new field to /proc//status which export this status. If PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is not compiled in. It doesn't consider the global THP status because we already export that information via sysfs Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181211143641.3503-4-mhocko@kernel.org Fixes: 1860033237d4 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka Reported-by: David Rientjes Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Jan Kara Cc: Mike Rapoport Cc: Paul Oppenheimer Cc: William Kucharski Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt | 3 +++ fs/proc/array.c | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt b/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt index cd46530..b24fd9b 100644 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt @@ -182,6 +182,7 @@ read the file /proc/PID/status: VmSwap: 0 kB HugetlbPages: 0 kB CoreDumping: 0 + THP_enabled: 1 Threads: 1 SigQ: 0/28578 SigPnd: 0000000000000000 @@ -256,6 +257,8 @@ Table 1-2: Contents of the status files (as of 4.8) HugetlbPages size of hugetlb memory portions CoreDumping process's memory is currently being dumped (killing the process may lead to a corrupted core) + THP_enabled process is allowed to use THP (returns 0 when + PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is set on the process Threads number of threads SigQ number of signals queued/max. number for queue SigPnd bitmap of pending signals for the thread diff --git a/fs/proc/array.c b/fs/proc/array.c index 0ceb3b6..9d428d5 100644 --- a/fs/proc/array.c +++ b/fs/proc/array.c @@ -392,6 +392,15 @@ static inline void task_core_dumping(struct seq_file *m, struct mm_struct *mm) seq_putc(m, '\n'); } +static inline void task_thp_status(struct seq_file *m, struct mm_struct *mm) +{ + bool thp_enabled = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE); + + if (thp_enabled) + thp_enabled = !test_bit(MMF_DISABLE_THP, &mm->flags); + seq_printf(m, "THP_enabled:\t%d\n", thp_enabled); +} + int proc_pid_status(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns, struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task) { @@ -406,6 +415,7 @@ int proc_pid_status(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns, if (mm) { task_mem(m, mm); task_core_dumping(m, mm); + task_thp_status(m, mm); mmput(mm); } task_sig(m, task); -- 2.7.4
