* mm/page-writeback.c: initialize m_dirty to avoid compile warningYang Shi2015-11-201-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building kernel with gcc 5.2, the below warning is raised: mm/page-writeback.c: In function 'balance_dirty_pages.isra.10': mm/page-writeback.c:1545:17: warning: 'm_dirty' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] unsigned long m_dirty, m_thresh, m_bg_thresh; The m_dirty{thresh, bg_thresh} are initialized in the block of "if (mdtc)", so if mdts is null, they won't be initialized before being used. Initialize m_dirty to zero, also initialize m_thresh and m_bg_thresh to keep consistency. They are used later by if condition: !mdtc || m_dirty <= dirty_freerun_ceiling(m_thresh, m_bg_thresh) If mdtc is null, dirty_freerun_ceiling will not be called at all, so the initialization will not change any behavior other than just ceasing the compile warning.

* writeback: fix incorrect calculation of available memory for memcg domainsTejun Heo2015-10-121-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For memcg domains, the amount of available memory was calculated as min(the amount currently in use + headroom according to memcg, total clean memory) This isn't quite correct as what should be capped by the amount of clean memory is the headroom, not the sum of memory in use and headroom. For example, if a memcg domain has a significant amount of dirty memory, the above can lead to a value which is lower than the current amount in use which doesn't make much sense. In most circumstances, the above leads to a number which is somewhat but not drastically lower. As the amount of memory which can be readily allocated to the memcg domain is capped by the amount of system-wide clean memory which is not already assigned to the memcg itself, the number we want is the amount currently in use + min(headroom according to memcg, clean memory elsewhere in the system) This patch updates mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to return the number of filepages and headroom instead of the calculated available pages. mdtc_cap_avail() is renamed to mdtc_calc_avail() and performs the above calculation from file, headroom, dirty and globally clean pages. v2: Dummy mem_cgroup_wb_stats() implementation wasn't updated leading to build failure when !CGROUP_WRITEBACK.

* writeback: bdi_writeback iteration must not skip dying onesTejun Heo2015-10-121-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bdi_for_each_wb() is used in several places to wake up or issue writeback work items to all wb's (bdi_writeback's) on a given bdi. The iteration is performed by walking bdi->cgwb_tree; however, the tree only indexes wb's which are currently active. For example, when a memcg gets associated with a different blkcg, the old wb is removed from the tree so that the new one can be indexed. The old wb starts dying from then on but will linger till all its inodes are drained. As these dying wb's may still host dirty inodes, writeback operations which affect all wb's must include them. bdi_for_each_wb() skipping dying wb's led to sync(2) missing and failing to sync the inodes belonging to those wb's. This patch adds a RCU protected @bdi->wb_list which lists all wb's beloinging to that bdi. wb's are added on creation and removed on release rather than on the start of destruction. bdi_for_each_wb() usages are replaced with list_for_each[_continue]_rcu() iterations over @bdi->wb_list and bdi_for_each_wb() and its helpers are removed. v2: Updated as per Jan. last_wb ref leak in bdi_split_work_to_wbs() fixed and unnecessary list head severing in cgwb_bdi_destroy() removed.

This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle. Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates: - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure. - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism. - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup. Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling: cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO. writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against. This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group, which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution implemented by cfq. - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff. - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased. Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches: This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods and blk[c]g_policy_data handling. - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped. - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data. - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct allocation. - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or blkcg. And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats handling: blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset tries to improve the situation a bit. - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps colllecting common stats on bio issue. - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek. - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core support both by default. - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats multiple times.

| * writeback: implement unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction and use it for stat ↵Tejun Heo2015-06-021-6/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | updates The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb (bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the framework for the actual switching. This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates. The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another, the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together; unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu operations which are performed without holding any lock in some places. This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted, mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction. In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against mapping->tree_lock. This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching. v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates. unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order. v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too. Function names and comments updated accordingly. s/inode_wb_stat_unlocked_{begin|end}/unlocked_inode_to_wb_{begin|end}/ s/switch_wb/switch_wbs/ Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
| * writeback: implement memcg writeback domain based throttlingTejun Heo2015-06-021-22/+136
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cgroup writeback support now connects memcg and blkcg so that writeback IOs are properly attributed and controlled, the IO back pressure propagation mechanism implemented in balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines wasn't aware of cgroup writeback. Processes belonging to a memcg may have access to only subset of total memory available in the system and not factoring this into dirty throttling rendered it completely ineffective for processes under memcg limits and memcg ended up building a separate ad-hoc degenerate mechanism directly into vmscan code to limit page dirtying. The previous patches updated balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines so that they can deal with multiple wb_domain's (writeback domains) and defined per-memcg wb_domain. Processes belonging to a non-root memcg are bound to two wb_domains, global wb_domain and memcg wb_domain, and should be throttled according to IO pressures from both domains. This patch updates dirty throttling code so that it repeats similar calculations for the two domains - the differences between the two are few and minor - and applies the lower of the two sets of resulting constraints. wb_over_bg_thresh(), which controls when background writeback terminates, is also updated to consider both global and memcg wb_domains. It returns true if dirty is over bg_thresh for either domain. This makes the dirty throttling mechanism operational for memcg domains including writeback-bandwidth-proportional dirty page distribution inside them but the ad-hoc memcg throttling mechanism in vmscan is still in place. The next patch will rip it out.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dirtyable memory is distributed to a wb (bdi_writeback) according to the relative bandwidth the wb is writing out in the whole system. This distribution is global - each wb is measured against all other wb's and gets the proportinately sized portion of the memory in the whole system. For cgroup writeback, the amount of dirtyable memory is scoped by memcg and thus each wb would need to be measured and controlled in its memcg. IOW, a wb will belong to two writeback domains - the global and memcg domains. The previous patches laid the groundwork to support the two wb_domains and this patch implements memcg wb_domain. memcg->cgwb_domain is initialized on css online and destroyed on css release, wb->memcg_completions is added, and __wb_writeout_inc() is updated to increment completions against both global and memcg wb_domains. The following patches will update balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines to actually consider memcg wb_domain for throttling.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wb_position_ratio() is used to calculate pos_ratio, which is used for two purposes. wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses it to adjust wb->[balanced_]dirty_ratelimit gradually and balance_dirty_pages() to immediately adjust dirty_ratelimit right before applying it to determine pause duration. While wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() is separately rate limited from balance_dirty_pages(), on the run where the ratelimit is updated, we end up calculating pos_ratio twice with the same parameters. This patch adds dirty_throttle_control->pos_ratio. balance_dirty_pages() calculates it once per run and wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses the value stored in dirty_throttle_control. This removes the duplicate calculation and also will help implementing memcg wb_domain.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wb_calc_thresh() calculates wb_thresh by scaling thresh according to the wb's portion in the system-wide write bandwidth. cgroup writeback support would need to calculate wb_thresh against memcg domain too. This patch renames wb_calc_thresh() to __wb_calc_thresh() and makes it take dirty_throttle_control so that the function can later be updated to calculate against different domains according to dirty_throttle_control. wb_calc_thresh() is now a thin wrapper around __wb_calc_thresh(). v2: The original version was incorrectly scaling dtc->dirty instead of dtc->thresh. This was due to the extremely confusing function and variable names. Added a rename patch and fixed this one.

It's only used when BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT is set and balance_dirty_pages() doesn't calculate it unless the cap is set. When the cap is set, the calculated value is not passed around but instead recalculated whenever it's used. wb_position_ratio() calculates it by scaling wb_thresh proportional to bg_thresh / thresh. wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses wb_dirty_limit() on bg_thresh, which should generally lead to a similar result as the proportional scaling but can also be way off in the presence of max/min_ratio settings. Avoiding wb_bg_thresh calculation saves us one u64 multiplication and divsion when BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT is not set. Given that balance_dirty_pages() is already ratelimited, this doesn't justify the incurred extra complexity. This patch adds wb_bg_thresh to dirty_throttle_control and makes wb_dirty_limits() always calculate it and updates the users to use the pre-calculated value.

| * writeback: consolidate dirty throttle parameters into dirty_throttle_controlTejun Heo2015-06-021-111/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dirty throttling implemented in balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines makes use of a number of parameters which are passed around individually. This renders these functions somewhat unwieldy and makes it difficult to add or change the involved parameters. Also some functions use different or conflicting naming schemes for the same parameters making the code confusing to follow. This patch consolidates the main parameters into struct dirty_throttle_control so that they can be passed around easily and adding new paramters isn't painful. This also unifies how a given parameter is named and accessed. The drawback of using this type of control structure rather than explicit paramters is that it isn't immediately obvious which function accesses and modifies what; however, it's fairly clear that the benefits outweigh in this case. GDTC_INIT() macro is provided to ease initializing dirty_throttle_control for the global_wb_domain and balance_dirty_pages() uses a separate pointer to point to its global dirty_throttle_control. This is to make it uniform with memcg domain handling which will be added later. This patch doesn't introduce any behavioral changes.

This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.

The most recent past attempt at this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632 The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill messages). The ability to move page accounting between memcg (memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more complicated than the global counter. The existing mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move accounting with stat updates. Typical update operation: memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page) if (TestSetPageDirty()) { [...] mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg) } mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg) Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead: - Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op - With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just rcu_read_lock() - With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave() A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(). Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some adjustments are needed: - move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller. __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled. - use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(), invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping(). text data bss dec hex filename 8925147 1774832 1785856 12485835 be84cb vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8925339 1774832 1785856 12486027 be858b vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-after +192 text bytes 8965977 1784992 1785856 12536825 bf4bf9 vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8966750 1784992 1785856 12537598 bf4efe vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-after +773 text bytes Performance tests run on v4.0-rc1-36-g4f671fe2f952.

| * page_writeback: revive cancel_dirty_page() in a restricted formTejun Heo2015-06-021-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea25152e56 ("page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and stat updates. While we can open-code such synchronization in each account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward and verbose. This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form. All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned() invocation if the page was dirty. This helper covers all account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache() which is a special case anyway and left alone. As this leaves no module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped from it. This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional changes.

* | writeback: use |1 instead of +1 to protect against div by zeroTejun Heo2015-04-231-3/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mm/page-writeback.c has several places where 1 is added to the divisor to prevent division by zero exceptions; however, if the original divisor is equivalent to -1, adding 1 leads to division by zero. There are three places where +1 is used for this purpose - one in pos_ratio_polynom() and two in bdi_position_ratio(). The second one in bdi_position_ratio() actually triggered div-by-zero oops on a machine running a 3.10 kernel. The divisor is x_intercept - bdi_setpoint + 1 == span + 1 span is confirmed to be (u32)-1. It isn't clear how it ended up that but it could be from write bandwidth calculation underflow fixed by c72efb658f7c ("writeback: fix possible underflow in write bandwidth calculation"). At any rate, +1 isn't a proper protection against div-by-zero. This patch converts all +1 protections to |1. Note that bdi_update_dirty_ratelimit() was already using |1 before this patch.

* page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()Konstantin Khlebnikov2015-04-141-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters. It's called from truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3). Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f982846 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation"). Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must be handled by caller (either written or truncated). This patch treats final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it. If something removes dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten data might be lost. Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough here. cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant. This is helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete invalidation. The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c796f ("Clean up and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and 3e67c0987d75 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit ecdfc9787fe5 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f53 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal"). Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit 1b3b4a1a2deb ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()"). Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f1b ("Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

* writeback: fix possible underflow in write bandwidth calculationTejun Heo2015-03-231-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From 1ebf33901ecc75d9496862dceb1ef0377980587c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 00:08:19 -0400 2f800fbd777b ("writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty") introduced account_page_redirty() which reverts stat updates for a redirtied page, making BDI_DIRTIED no longer monotonically increasing. bdi_update_write_bandwidth() uses the delta in BDI_DIRTIED as the basis for bandwidth calculation. While unlikely, since the above patch, the newer value may be lower than the recorded past value and underflow the bandwidth calculation leading to a wild result. Fix it by subtracing min of the old and new values when calculating delta. AFAIK, there hasn't been any report of it happening but the resulting erratic behavior would be non-critical and temporary, so it's possible that the issue is happening without being reported. The risk of the fix is very low, so tagged for -stable.

* writeback: add missing INITIAL_JIFFIES init in global_update_bandwidth()Tejun Heo2015-03-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | global_update_bandwidth() uses static variable update_time as the timestamp for the last update but forgets to initialize it to INITIALIZE_JIFFIES. This means that global_dirty_limit will be 5 mins into the future on 32bit and some large amount jiffies into the past on 64bit. This isn't critical as the only effect is that global_dirty_limit won't be updated for the first 5 mins after booting on 32bit machines, especially given the auxiliary nature of global_dirty_limit's role - protecting against global dirty threshold's sudden dips; however, it does lead to unintended suboptimal behavior.
