| * zsmalloc: fix fatal corruption due to wrong size class selectionHeesub Shin2015-04-151-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no point in overriding the size class below. It causes fatal corruption on the next chunk on the 3264-bytes size class, which is the last size class that is not huge. For example, if the requested size was exactly 3264 bytes, current zsmalloc allocates and returns a chunk from the size class of 3264 bytes, not 4096. User access to this chunk may overwrite head of the next adjacent chunk. Here is the panic log captured when freelist was corrupted due to this: Kernel BUG at ffffffc00030659c [verbose debug info unavailable] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: exynos-snapshot: core register saved(CPU:5) CPUMERRSR: 0000000000000000, L2MERRSR: 0000000000000000 exynos-snapshot: context saved(CPU:5) exynos-snapshot: item - log_kevents is disabled CPU: 5 PID: 898 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 3.10.61-4497415-eng #1 task: ffffffc0b8783d80 ti: ffffffc0b71e8000 task.ti: ffffffc0b71e8000 PC is at obj_idx_to_offset+0x0/0x1c LR is at obj_malloc+0x44/0xe8 pc : [<ffffffc00030659c>] lr : [<ffffffc000306604>] pstate: a0000045 sp : ffffffc0b71eb790 x29: ffffffc0b71eb790 x28: ffffffc00204c000 x27: 000000000001d96f x26: 0000000000000000 x25: ffffffc098cc3500 x24: ffffffc0a13f2810 x23: ffffffc098cc3501 x22: ffffffc0a13f2800 x21: 000011e1a02006e3 x20: ffffffc0a13f2800 x19: ffffffbc02a7e000 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000feb x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 00000000a01003e3 x13: 0000000000000020 x12: fffffffffffffff0 x11: ffffffc08b264000 x10: 00000000e3a01004 x9 : ffffffc08b263fea x8 : ffffffc0b1e611c0 x7 : ffffffc000307d24 x6 : 0000000000000000 x5 : 0000000000000038 x4 : 000000000000011e x3 : ffffffbc00003e90 x2 : 0000000000000cc0 x1 : 00000000d0100371 x0 : ffffffbc00003e90 Reported-by: Sooyong Suk <s.suk@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Heesub Shin <heesub.shin@samsung.com> Tested-by: Sooyong Suk <s.suk@samsung.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| * zsmalloc: record handle in page->private for huge objectMinchan Kim2015-04-151-12/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We store handle on header of each allocated object so it increases the size of each object by sizeof(unsigned long). If zram stores 4096 bytes to zsmalloc(ie, bad compression), zsmalloc needs 4104B-class to add handle. However, 4104B-class has 1-pages_per_zspage so wasted size by internal fragment is 8192 - 4104, which is terrible. So this patch records the handle in page->private on such huge object(ie, pages_per_zspage == 1 && maxobj_per_zspage == 1) instead of header of each object so we could use 4096B-class, not 4104B-class.

| * zsmalloc: adjust ZS_ALMOST_FULLMinchan Kim2015-04-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Curretly, zsmalloc regards a zspage as ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if the zspage has under 1/4 used objects(ie, fullness_threshold_frac). It could make result in loose packing since zsmalloc migrates only ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY zspage out. This patch changes the rule so that zsmalloc makes zspage which has above 3/4 used object ZS_ALMOST_FULL so it could make tight packing.

| * zsmalloc: support compactionMinchan Kim2015-04-151-19/+359
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion policy is simple as follows. for each size class { while { src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!src_page) break; dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL if (!dst_page) dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!dst_page) break; migrate(from src_page, to dst_page); } } For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie, OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check whether the object is allocated easily. This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and new object.

| * zsmalloc: decouple handle and objectMinchan Kim2015-04-151-28/+98
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently, we started to use zram heavily and some of issues popped. 1) external fragmentation I got a report from Juneho Choi that fork failed although there are plenty of free pages in the system. His investigation revealed zram is one of the culprit to make heavy fragmentation so there was no more contiguous 16K page for pgd to fork in the ARM. 2) non-movable pages Other problem of zram now is that inherently, user want to use zram as swap in small memory system so they use zRAM with CMA to use memory efficiently. However, unfortunately, it doesn't work well because zRAM cannot use CMA's movable pages unless it doesn't support compaction. I got several reports about that OOM happened with zram although there are lots of swap space and free space in CMA area. 3) internal fragmentation zRAM has started support memory limitation feature to limit memory usage and I sent a patchset(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/21/148) for VM to be harmonized with zram-swap to stop anonymous page reclaim if zram consumed memory up to the limit although there are free space on the swap. One problem for that direction is zram has no way to know any hole in memory space zsmalloc allocated by internal fragmentation so zram would regard swap is full although there are free space in zsmalloc. For solving the issue, zram want to trigger compaction of zsmalloc before it decides full or not. This patchset is first step to support above issues. For that, it adds indirect layer between handle and object location and supports manual compaction to solve 3th problem first of all. After this patchset got merged, next step is to make VM aware of zsmalloc compaction so that generic compaction will move zsmalloced-pages automatically in runtime. In my imaginary experiment(ie, high compress ratio data with heavy swap in/out on 8G zram-swap), data is as follows, Before = zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes zram total used: 140103680 bytes ratio: 42.98 percent MemFree: 840192 kB Compaction After = frag ratio after compaction zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes zram total used: 76185600 bytes ratio: 79.03 percent MemFree: 901932 kB Juneho reported below in his real platform with small aging. So, I think the benefit would be bigger in real aging system for a long time. - frag_ratio increased 3% (ie, higher is better) - memfree increased about 6MB - In buddy info, Normal 2^3: 4, 2^2: 1: 2^1 increased, Highmem: 2^1 21 increased frag ratio after swap fragment used : 156677 kbytes total: 166092 kbytes frag_ratio : 94 meminfo before compaction MemFree: 83724 kB Node 0, zone Normal 13642 1364 57 10 61 17 9 5 4 0 0 Node 0, zone HighMem 425 29 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 num_migrated : 23630 compaction done frag ratio after compaction used : 156673 kbytes total: 160564 kbytes frag_ratio : 97 meminfo after compaction MemFree: 89060 kB Node 0, zone Normal 14076 1544 67 14 61 17 9 5 4 0 0 Node 0, zone HighMem 863 50 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This patchset adds more logics(about 480 lines) in zsmalloc but when I tested heavy swapin/out program, the regression for swapin/out speed is marginal because most of overheads were caused by compress/decompress and other MM reclaim stuff. This patch (of 7): Currently, handle of zsmalloc encodes object's location directly so it makes support of migration hard. This patch decouples handle and object via adding indirect layer. For that, it allocates handle dynamically and returns it to user. The handle is the address allocated by slab allocation so it's unique and we could keep object's location in the memory space allocated for handle. With it, we can change object's position without changing handle itself.

| * mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAPBoaz Harrosh2015-04-151-4/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN. This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page. We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX patch will follow) This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node. We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because 1 - The name ;-) 2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current DAX code (which this is for) would crash. If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night. Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver. Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to: check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return. No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to change pte permissions anyway.

The root problem of this is that we don't have any information on struct page (so easily accessible) about hugepages' activeness. Note that hugepages' activeness means just being linked to hstate->hugepage_activelist, which is not the same as normal pages' activeness represented by PageActive flag. Normal pages are isolated by isolate_lru_page() which prechecks PageLRU before isolation, so let's do similarly for hugetlb with a new paeg_huge_active(). set/clear_page_huge_active() should be called within hugetlb_lock. But hugetlb_cow() and hugetlb_no_page() don't do this, being justified because in these functions set_page_huge_active() is called right after the hugepage is allocated and no other thread tries to isolate it.

When an element is allocated from the reserved pool, its memory contents is the same as when it was added to the reserved pool. Because of this, elements lack any free poisoning to detect use-after-free errors. This patch adds free poisoning for elements backed by the slab allocator. This is possible because the mempool layer knows the object size of each element. When an element is added to the reserved pool, it is poisoned with POISON_FREE. When it is removed from the reserved pool, the contents are checked for POISON_FREE. If there is a mismatch, a warning is emitted to the kernel log. This is only effective for configs with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB or CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON.

The -EFAULT comes from the branch of security_vm_enough_memory_mm failure, underlyingly it calls __vm_enough_memory which returns only 0 for success or -ENOMEM; So why vma_to_resize needs to return -EFAULT in this case? this sounds like a mistake to me. Some more digging into git history: 1) Before commit 119f657c7 ("RLIMIT_AS checking fix") in May 1 2005 (pre 2.6.12 days) it was returning -ENOMEM for this failure; 2) but commit 119f657c7 ("untangling do_mremap(), part 1") changed it accidentally, to what ever is preserved in local ret, which happened to be -EFAULT, in a previous assignment; 3) then in commit 54f5de709 code refactoring, it's explicitly returning -EFAULT, should be wrong.

None of them were used as supposed to be: finding a suitable free hole for next allocation in block. vm_map_ram allocates space sequentially in block and on free call marks pages as dirty, so freed space can't be reused anymore. Actually it would be very interesting to know the real meaning of those bitmaps, maybe implementation was incomplete, etc. But long time ago Zhang Yanfei removed alloc_map by these two commits: mm/vmalloc.c: remove dead code in vb_alloc 3fcd76e8028e0be37b02a2002b4f56755daeda06 mm/vmalloc.c: remove alloc_map from vmap_block b8e748b6c32999f221ea4786557b8e7e6c4e4e7a In this patch I replaced dirty_map with two range variables: dirty min and max. These variables store minimum and maximum position of dirty space in a block, since we need only to know the dirty range, not exact position of dirty pages. Why it was made? Several reasons: at first glance it seems that vm_map_ram allocator concerns about fragmentation thus it uses bitmaps for finding free hole, but it is not true. To avoid complexity seems it is better to use something simple, like min or max range values. Secondly, code also becomes simpler, without iteration over bitmap, just comparing values in min and max macros. Thirdly, bitmap occupies up to 1024 bits (4MB is a max size of a block). Here I replaced the whole bitmap with two longs. Finally vm_unmap_aliases should be slightly faster and the whole vmap_block structure occupies less memory.

Why it can be better?? 1. Allocation can happen on one CPU, but search can be done on another CPU. In worst case we preallocate amount of vmap blocks which is equal to CPU number on the system. 2. In previous patch I added newly allocated block to the tail of free list to avoid soon exhaustion of virtual space and give a chance to occupy blocks which were allocated long time ago. Thus to find newly allocated block all the search sequence should be repeated, seems it is not efficient. In this patch newly allocated block is occupied right away, address of virtual space is returned to the caller, so there is no any need to repeat the search sequence, allocation job is done.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | allocator Recently I came across high fragmentation of vm_map_ram allocator: vmap_block has free space, but still new blocks continue to appear. Further investigation showed that certain mapping/unmapping sequences can exhaust vmalloc space. On small 32bit systems that's not a big problem, cause purging will be called soon on a first allocation failure (alloc_vmap_area), but on 64bit machines, e.g. x86_64 has 45 bits of vmalloc space, that can be a disaster. 1) I came up with a simple allocation sequence, which exhausts virtual space very quickly: while (iters) { /* Map/unmap big chunk */ vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16); /* Map/unmap small chunks. * * -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block * to keep it partially used, with some free space available */ for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8); } } The idea behind is simple: 1. We have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages. 2. Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller chunks, i.e. 8 pages. At the end small hole should remain to keep block in free list, but do not let big chunk to occupy remaining space. 3. Goto 1 - allocation request of 16 pages can't be completed (only 8 slots are left free in the block in the #2 step), new block will be allocated, all further requests will lay into newly allocated block. To have some measurement numbers for all further tests I setup ftrace and enabled 4 basic calls in a function profile: echo vm_map_ram > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; echo alloc_vmap_area >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; echo vm_unmap_ram >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; echo free_vmap_block >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; So for this scenario I got these results: BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 126000 30683.30 us 0.243 us 30819.36 us vm_unmap_ram 126000 22003.24 us 0.174 us 340.886 us alloc_vmap_area 1000 4132.065 us 4.132 us 0.903 us AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 126000 28713.13 us 0.227 us 24944.70 us vm_unmap_ram 126000 20403.96 us 0.161 us 1429.872 us alloc_vmap_area 993 3916.795 us 3.944 us 29.370 us free_vmap_block 992 654.157 us 0.659 us 1.273 us SUMMARY: The most interesting numbers in those tables are numbers of block allocations and deallocations: alloc_vmap_area and free_vmap_block calls, which show that before the change blocks were not freed, and virtual space and physical memory (vmap_block structure allocations, etc) were consumed. Average time which were spent in vm_map_ram/vm_unmap_ram became slightly better. That can be explained with a reasonable amount of blocks in a free list, which we need to iterate to find a suitable free block. 2) Another scenario is a random allocation: while (iters) { /* Randomly take number from a range [1..32/64] */ nr = rand(1, VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, nr, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, nr); } I chose mersenne twister PRNG to generate persistent random state to guarantee that both runs have the same random sequence. For each vm_map_ram call random number from [1..32/64] was taken to represent amount of pages which I do map. I did 10'000 vm_map_ram calls and got these two tables: BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 10000 10170.01 us 1.017 us 993.609 us vm_unmap_ram 10000 5321.823 us 0.532 us 59.789 us alloc_vmap_area 420 2150.239 us 5.119 us 3.307 us free_vmap_block 37 159.587 us 4.313 us 134.344 us AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 10000 7745.637 us 0.774 us 395.229 us vm_unmap_ram 10000 5460.573 us 0.546 us 67.187 us alloc_vmap_area 414 2201.650 us 5.317 us 5.591 us free_vmap_block 412 574.421 us 1.394 us 15.138 us SUMMARY: 'BEFORE' table shows, that 420 blocks were allocated and only 37 were freed. Remained 383 blocks are still in a free list, consuming virtual space and physical memory. 'AFTER' table shows, that 414 blocks were allocated and 412 were really freed. 2 blocks remained in a free list. So fragmentation was dramatically reduced. Why? Because when we put newly allocated block to the head, all further requests will occupy new block, regardless remained space in other blocks. In this scenario all requests come randomly. Eventually remained free space will be less than requested size, free list will be iterated and it is possible that nothing will be found there - finally new block will be created. So exhaustion in random scenario happens for the maximum possible allocation size: 32 pages for 32-bit system and 64 pages for 64-bit system. Also average cost of vm_map_ram was reduced from 1.017 us to 0.774 us. Again this can be explained by iteration through smaller list of free blocks. 3) Next simple scenario is a sequential allocation, when the allocation order is increased for each block. This scenario forces allocator to reach maximum amount of partially free blocks in a free list: while (iters) { /* Populate free list with blocks with remaining space */ for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) { nr = VMAP_BBMAP_BITS / (1 << order); /* Leave a hole */ nr -= 1; for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order)); } /* Completely occupy blocks from a free list */ for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order)); } } Results which I got: BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 2032000 399545.2 us 0.196 us 467123.7 us vm_unmap_ram 2032000 363225.7 us 0.178 us 111405.9 us alloc_vmap_area 7001 30627.76 us 4.374 us 495.755 us free_vmap_block 6993 7011.685 us 1.002 us 159.090 us AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 2032000 394259.7 us 0.194 us 589395.9 us vm_unmap_ram 2032000 292500.7 us 0.143 us 94181.08 us alloc_vmap_area 7000 31103.11 us 4.443 us 703.225 us free_vmap_block 7000 6750.844 us 0.964 us 119.112 us SUMMARY: No surprises here, almost all numbers are the same. Fixing this fragmentation problem I also did some improvements in a allocation logic of a new vmap block: occupy block immediately and get rid of extra search in a free list. Also I replaced dirty bitmap with min/max dirty range values to make the logic simpler and slightly faster, since two longs comparison costs less, than loop thru bitmap. This patchset raises several questions: Q: Think the problem you comments is already known so that I wrote comments about it as "it could consume lots of address space through fragmentation". Could you tell me about your situation and reason why it should be avoided? Gioh Kim A: Indeed, there was a commit 364376383 which adds explicit comment about fragmentation. But fragmentation which is described in this comment caused by mixing of long-lived and short-lived objects, when a whole block is pinned in memory because some page slots are still in use. But here I am talking about blocks which are free, nobody uses them, and allocator keeps them alive forever, continuously allocating new blocks. Q: I think that if you put newly allocated block to the tail of a free list, below example would results in enormous performance degradation. new block: 1MB (256 pages) while (iters--) { vm_map_ram(3 or something else not dividable for 256) * 85 vm_unmap_ram(3) * 85 } On every iteration, it needs newly allocated block and it is put to the tail of a free list so finding it consumes large amount of time. Joonsoo Kim A: Second patch in current patchset gets rid of extra search in a free list, so new block will be immediately occupied.. Also, the scenario above is impossible, cause vm_map_ram allocates virtual range in orders, i.e. 2^n. I.e. passing 3 to vm_map_ram you will allocate 4 slots in a block and 256 slots (capacity of a block) of course dividable on 4, so block will be completely occupied. But there is a worst case which we can achieve: each free block has a hole equal to order size. The maximum size of allocation is 64 pages for 64-bit system (if you try to map more, original alloc_vmap_area will be called). So the maximum order is 6. That means that worst case, before allocator makes a decision to allocate a new block, is to iterate 7 blocks: HEAD 1st block - has 1 page slot free (order 0) 2nd block - has 2 page slots free (order 1) 3rd block - has 4 page slots free (order 2) 4th block - has 8 page slots free (order 3) 5th block - has 16 page slots free (order 4) 6th block - has 32 page slots free (order 5) 7th block - has 64 page slots free (order 6) TAIL So the worst scenario on 64-bit system is that each CPU queue can have 7 blocks in a free list. This can happen only and only if you allocate blocks increasing the order. (as I did in the function written in the comment of the first patch) This is weird and rare case, but still it is possible. Afterwards you will get 7 blocks in a list. All further requests should be placed in a newly allocated block or some free slots should be found in a free list. Seems it does not look dramatically awful. This patch (of 3): If suitable block can't be found, new block is allocated and put into a head of a free list, so on next iteration this new block will be found first. That's bad, because old blocks in a free list will not get a chance to be fully used, thus fragmentation will grow. Let's consider this simple example: #1 We have one block in a free list which is partially used, and where only one page is free: HEAD |xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL ^ free space for 1 page, order 0 #2 New allocation request of order 1 (2 pages) comes, new block is allocated since we do not have free space to complete this request. New block is put into a head of a free list: HEAD |----------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL #3 Two pages were occupied in a new found block: HEAD |xx--------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL ^ two pages mapped here #4 New allocation request of order 0 (1 page) comes. Block, which was created on #2 step, is located at the beginning of a free list, so it will be found first: HEAD |xxX-------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL ^ ^ page mapped here, but better to use this hole It is obvious, that it is better to complete request of #4 step using the old block, where free space is left, because in other case fragmentation will be highly increased. But fragmentation is not only the case. The worst thing is that I can easily create scenario, when the whole vmalloc space is exhausted by blocks, which are not used, but already dirty and have several free pages. Let's consider this function which execution should be pinned to one CPU: static void exhaust_virtual_space(struct page *pages[16], int iters) { /* Firstly we have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages. * Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller * chunks, i.e. 8 pages. At the end small hole should remain. * So at the end of our allocation sequence block looks like * this: * XX big chunk * |XXxxxxxxx-| x small chunk * - hole, which is enough for a small chunk, * but is not enough for a big chunk */ while (iters--) { int i; void *vaddr; /* Map/unmap big chunk */ vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16); /* Map/unmap small chunks. * * -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block * to keep it partially used, with some free space available */ for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8); } } } On every iteration new block (1MB of vm area in my case) will be allocated and then will be occupied, without attempt to resolve small allocation request using previously allocated blocks in a free list. In case of random allocation (size should be randomly taken from the range [1..64] in 64-bit case or [1..32] in 32-bit case) situation is the same: new blocks continue to appear if maximum possible allocation size (32 or 64) passed to the allocator, because all remaining blocks in a free list do not have enough free space to complete this allocation request. In summary if new blocks are put into the head of a free list eventually virtual space will be exhausted. In current patch I simply put newly allocated block to the tail of a free list, thus reduce fragmentation, giving a chance to resolve allocation request using older blocks with possible holes left.

| * hugetlbfs: add minimum size tracking fields to subpool structureMike Kravetz2015-04-151-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hugetlbfs allocates huge pages from the global pool as needed. Even if the global pool contains a sufficient number pages for the filesystem size at mount time, those global pages could be grabbed for some other use. As a result, filesystem huge page allocations may fail due to lack of pages. Applications such as a database want to use huge pages for performance reasons. hugetlbfs filesystem semantics with ownership and modes work well to manage access to a pool of huge pages. However, the application would like some reasonable assurance that allocations will not fail due to a lack of huge pages. At application startup time, the application would like to configure itself to use a specific number of huge pages. Before starting, the application can check to make sure that enough huge pages exist in the system global pools. However, there are no guarantees that those pages will be available when needed by the application. What the application wants is exclusive use of a subset of huge pages. Add a new hugetlbfs mount option 'min_size=<value>' to indicate that the specified number of pages will be available for use by the filesystem. At mount time, this number of huge pages will be reserved for exclusive use of the filesystem. If there is not a sufficient number of free pages, the mount will fail. As pages are allocated to and freeed from the filesystem, the number of reserved pages is adjusted so that the specified minimum is maintained. This patch (of 4): Add a field to the subpool structure to indicate the minimimum number of huge pages to always be used by this subpool. This minimum count includes allocated pages as well as reserved pages. If the minimum number of pages for the subpool have not been allocated, pages are reserved up to this minimum. An additional field (rsv_hpages) is used to track the number of pages reserved to meet this minimum size. The hstate pointer in the subpool is convenient to have when reserving and unreserving the pages.

| * mm, memcg: sync allocation and memcg charge gfp flags for THPMichal Hocko2015-04-151-22/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | memcg currently uses hardcoded GFP_TRANSHUGE gfp flags for all THP charges. THP allocations, however, might be using different flags depending on /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/{,khugepaged/}defrag and the current allocation context. The primary difference is that defrag configured to "madvise" value will clear __GFP_WAIT flag from the core gfp mask to make the allocation lighter for all mappings which are not backed by VM_HUGEPAGE vmas. If memcg charge path ignores this fact we will get light allocation but the a potential memcg reclaim would kill the whole point of the configuration. Fix the mismatch by providing the same gfp mask used for the allocation to the charge functions. This is quite easy for all paths except for hugepaged kernel thread with !CONFIG_NUMA which is doing a pre-allocation long before the allocated page is used in collapse_huge_page via khugepaged_alloc_page. To prevent from cluttering the whole code path from khugepaged_do_scan we simply return the current flags as per khugepaged_defrag() value which might have changed since the preallocation. If somebody changed the value of the knob we would charge differently but this shouldn't happen often and it is definitely not critical because it would only lead to a reduced success rate of one-off THP promotion.

| * mm: allow compaction of unevictable pagesEric B Munson2015-04-151-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, pages which are marked as unevictable are protected from compaction, but not from other types of migration. The POSIX real time extension explicitly states that mlock() will prevent a major page fault, but the spirit of this is that mlock() should give a process the ability to control sources of latency, including minor page faults. However, the mlock manpage only explicitly says that a locked page will not be written to swap and this can cause some confusion. The compaction code today does not give a developer who wants to avoid swap but wants to have large contiguous areas available any method to achieve this state. This patch introduces a sysctl for controlling compaction behavior with respect to the unevictable lru. Users who demand no page faults after a page is present can set compact_unevictable_allowed to 0 and users who need the large contiguous areas can enable compaction on locked memory by leaving the default value of 1. To illustrate this problem I wrote a quick test program that mmaps a large number of 1MB files filled with random data. These maps are created locked and read only. Then every other mmap is unmapped and I attempt to allocate huge pages to the static huge page pool. When the compact_unevictable_allowed sysctl is 0, I cannot allocate hugepages after fragmenting memory. When the value is set to 1, allocations succeed.

| * mm/page-writeback: check-before-clear PageReclaimNaoya Horiguchi2015-04-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the page flag sanitization patchset, an invalid usage of ClearPageReclaim() is detected in set_page_dirty(). This can be called from __unmap_hugepage_range(), so let's check PageReclaim() before trying to clear it to avoid the misuse.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the page flag sanitization patchset, an invalid usage of ClearPageSwapCache() is detected in migration_page_copy(). migrate_page_copy() is shared by both normal and hugepage (both thp and hugetlb) code path, so let's check PageSwapCache() and clear it if it's set to avoid misuse of the invalid clear operation.

| * mm/memory-failure.c: define page types for action_result() in one placeNaoya Horiguchi2015-04-151-31/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleanup patch moves all strings passed to action_result() into a singl= e array action_page_type so that a reader can easily find which kind of actio= n results are possible. And this patch also fixes the odd lines to be printed out, like "unknown page state page" or "free buddy, 2nd try page".
