| * | | | | slub: never fail to shrink cacheVladimir Davydov2015-02-121-27/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLUB's version of __kmem_cache_shrink() not only removes empty slabs, but also tries to rearrange the partial lists to place slabs filled up most to the head to cope with fragmentation. To achieve that, it allocates a temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in use. If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted. This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink() successfully discarded empty slabs. Although the allocation failure is utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not to rely on that. This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail. The array size is chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32 objects per slab page. Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

| * | | | | memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offlineVladimir Davydov2015-02-122-8/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists. However, it can be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's list to the one of its parent. It will work, because a racing list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element from. It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing reparenting will fix it. After list_lru reparenting is done we are free to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new cgroups.

| * | | | | list_lru: add helpers to isolate itemsVladimir Davydov2015-02-122-4/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by __list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the lists, we have to move entries one by one. This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if checked under the appropriate lock.

However, I am going to change that and release kmemcg_id on css offline, because it is not wise to keep it for so long, wasting valuable entries of memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches arrays. Therefore, to preserve cache name uniqueness, let us switch to css->id.

I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to save space. To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches of the same kind, let us link them into a list.

| * | | | | slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cacheVladimir Davydov2015-02-124-91/+102

The rationale is to save memory when kmem accounting is disabled. However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled drastically since it was first introduced: * Initially: struct memcg_cache_params { bool is_root_cache; union { struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0]; struct { struct mem_cgroup *memcg; struct list_head list; struct kmem_cache *root_cache; bool dead; atomic_t nr_pages; struct work_struct destroy; }; }; }; * Now: struct memcg_cache_params { bool is_root_cache; union { struct { struct rcu_head rcu_head; struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0]; }; struct { struct mem_cgroup *memcg; struct kmem_cache *root_cache; }; }; }; So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore. OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths. Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection, while I want to make them linked in the following patch. That said, let us embed it.

| * | | | | list_lru: introduce per-memcg listsVladimir Davydov2015-02-122-24/+370
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several FS shrinkers, including super_block::s_shrink, that keep reclaimable objects in the list_lru structure. Hence to turn them to memcg-aware shrinkers, it is enough to make list_lru per-memcg. This patch does the trick. It adds an array of lru lists to the list_lru_node structure (per-node part of the list_lru), one for each kmem-active memcg, and dispatches every item addition or removal to the list corresponding to the memcg which the item is accounted to. So now the list_lru structure is not just per node, but per node and per memcg. Not all list_lrus need this feature, so this patch also adds a new method, list_lru_init_memcg, which initializes a list_lru as memcg aware. Otherwise (i.e. if initialized with old list_lru_init), the list_lru won't have per memcg lists. Just like per memcg caches arrays, the arrays of per-memcg lists are indexed by memcg_cache_id, so we must grow them whenever memcg_nr_cache_ids is increased. So we introduce a callback, memcg_update_all_list_lrus, invoked by memcg_alloc_cache_id if the id space is full. The locking is implemented in a manner similar to lruvecs, i.e. we have one lock per node that protects all lists (both global and per cgroup) on the node.

| * | | | | list_lru: organize all list_lrus to listVladimir Davydov2015-02-121-0/+34

Therefore after this change list_lru_destroy may sleep. Fortunately, there is only one user that calls it from an atomic context - it's put_super - and we can easily fix it by calling list_lru_destroy before put_super in destroy_locked_super - anyway we don't longer need lrus by that time. Another point that should be noted is that list_lru_destroy is allowed to be called on an uninitialized zeroed-out object, in which case it is a no-op. Before this patch this was guaranteed by kfree, but now we need an explicit check there.

| * | | | | memcg: add rwsem to synchronize against memcg_caches arrays relocationVladimir Davydov2015-02-122-15/+23

As a result, we have to update memcg_nr_cache_ids under the slab_mutex, which we can only take on the slab's side (see memcg_update_array_size). This looks awkward and will become even worse when per-memcg list_lru is introduced, which also wants stable access to memcg_nr_cache_ids. To get rid of this dependency between the memcg_nr_cache_ids and the slab_mutex, this patch introduces a special rwsem. The rwsem is held for writing during memcg_caches arrays relocation and memcg_nr_cache_ids updates. Therefore one can take it for reading to get a stable access to memcg_caches arrays and/or memcg_nr_cache_ids. Currently the semaphore is taken for reading only from kmem_cache_create, right before taking the slab_mutex, so right now there's no much point in using rwsem instead of mutex. However, once list_lru is made per-memcg it will allow list_lru initializations to proceed concurrently.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker support. That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any chance to recover. What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup. This is what this patch set is intended to do. Basically, it does two things. First, it introduces the notion of per-memcg slab shrinker. A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE. Then it will be passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg. For such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory cgroup. Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg. It's done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru. Then the list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to. This way to make FS shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does. As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit. Handling memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified hierarchy. This patch (of 9): NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists. Whenever such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node, it issues commands like this: count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid); freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func, isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan); where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it from vmscan. To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control structure. This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

Very broadly speaking it would mark PTEs as not present and use another bit to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults and other types of faults. It was universally loved by everybody and caused no problems whatsoever. That last sentence might be a lie. This series is very heavily based on patches from Linus and Aneesh to replace the existing PTE/PMD NUMA helper functions with normal change protections. I did alter and add parts of it but I consider them relatively minor contributions. At their suggestion, acked-bys are in there but I've no problem converting them to Signed-off-by if requested. AFAIK, this has received no testing on ppc64 and I'm depending on Aneesh for that. I tested trinity under kvm-tool and passed and ran a few other basic tests. At the time of writing, only the short-lived tests have completed but testing of V2 indicated that long-term testing had no surprises. In most cases I'm leaving out detail as it's not that interesting. specjbb single JVM: There was negligible performance difference in the benchmark itself for short runs. However, system activity is higher and interrupts are much higher over time -- possibly TLB flushes. Migrations are also higher. Overall, this is more overhead but considering the problems faced with the old approach I think we just have to suck it up and find another way of reducing the overhead. specjbb multi JVM: Negligible performance difference to the actual benchmark but like the single JVM case, the system overhead is noticeably higher. Again, interrupts are a major factor. autonumabench: This was all over the place and about all that can be reasonably concluded is that it's different but not necessarily better or worse. autonumabench 3.18.0-rc5 3.18.0-rc5 mmotm-20141119 protnone-v3r3 User NUMA01 32380.24 ( 0.00%) 21642.92 ( 33.16%) User NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 22481.02 ( 0.00%) 22283.22 ( 0.88%) User NUMA02 3137.00 ( 0.00%) 3116.54 ( 0.65%) User NUMA02_SMT 1614.03 ( 0.00%) 1543.53 ( 4.37%) System NUMA01 322.97 ( 0.00%) 1465.89 (-353.88%) System NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 91.87 ( 0.00%) 49.32 ( 46.32%) System NUMA02 37.83 ( 0.00%) 14.61 ( 61.38%) System NUMA02_SMT 7.36 ( 0.00%) 7.45 ( -1.22%) Elapsed NUMA01 716.63 ( 0.00%) 599.29 ( 16.37%) Elapsed NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 553.98 ( 0.00%) 539.94 ( 2.53%) Elapsed NUMA02 83.85 ( 0.00%) 83.04 ( 0.97%) Elapsed NUMA02_SMT 86.57 ( 0.00%) 79.15 ( 8.57%) CPU NUMA01 4563.00 ( 0.00%) 3855.00 ( 15.52%) CPU NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 4074.00 ( 0.00%) 4136.00 ( -1.52%) CPU NUMA02 3785.00 ( 0.00%) 3770.00 ( 0.40%) CPU NUMA02_SMT 1872.00 ( 0.00%) 1959.00 ( -4.65%) System CPU usage of NUMA01 is worse but it's an adverse workload on this machine so I'm reluctant to conclude that it's a problem that matters.

This correlates with high system CPU usage and could be simply down to bad luck but any modifications that affect that workload would be related to scan rates and migrations, not the protection mechanism. For all other workloads, migration activity was comparable. Overall, headline performance figures are comparable but the overhead is higher, mostly in interrupts. To some extent, higher overhead from this approach was anticipated but not to this degree. It's going to be necessary to reduce this again with a separate series in the future. It's still worth going ahead with this series though as it's likely to avoid constant headaches with Xen and is probably easier to maintain. This patch (of 10): A transhuge NUMA hinting fault may find the page is migrating and should wait until migration completes. The check is race-prone because the pmd is deferenced outside of the page lock and while the race is tiny, it'll be larger if the PMD is cleared while marking PMDs for hinting fault. This patch closes the race.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch applies the same limit for read-only ptes. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all but 190MB of the program by touching other memory. Afterwards, the test program does a mix of reads and writes to its memory, and the memory gets swapped back in. Without the patch, only the memory that did not get swapped out remained in THPs, which corresponds to 24% of the memory of the program. The percentage did not increase over time. With this patch, after 5 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed 50% of the program's memory back into THPs.

However it turned out that the real number of NR_ISOLATED_FILE was 0 and the per-cpu vm_stat_diff wasn't transferred into the global counter. vmstat_work which is responsible for the sync is defined as deferrable delayed work which means that the defined timeout doesn't wake up an idle CPU. A CPU might stay in an idle state for a long time and general effort is to keep such a CPU in this state as long as possible which might lead to all sorts of troubles for vmstat consumers as can be seen with the excessive direct reclaim throttling. This patch basically reverts 39bf6270f524 ("VM statistics: Make timer deferrable") but it shouldn't cause any problems for idle CPUs because only CPUs with an active per-cpu drift are woken up since 7cc36bbddde5 ("vmstat: on-demand vmstat workers v8") and CPUs which are idle for a longer time shouldn't have per-cpu drift.

* | | | | mm: more aggressive page stealing for UNMOVABLE allocationsVlastimil Babka2015-02-111-4/+14

In try_to_steal_freepages(), one of the situations where extra pages are stolen happens when we are trying to allocate a MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page. However, MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE allocations are not treated the same way, although spreading such allocation over multiple fallback pageblocks is arguably even worse than it is for RECLAIMABLE allocations. To minimize fragmentation, we should minimize the number of such fallbacks, and thus steal as much as is possible from each fallback pageblock. Note that in theory this might put more pressure on movable pageblocks and cause movable allocations to steal back from unmovable pageblocks. However, movable allocations are not as aggressive with stealing, and do not cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff is reasonable, and evaluation seems to support the change. This patch thus adds a check for MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE to the decision to steal extra free pages. When evaluating with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the number of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE fallbacks to roughly 1/6. The number of these fallbacks stealing from MIGRATE_MOVABLE block is reduced to 1/3. There was no observation of growing number of unmovable pageblocks over time, and also not of increased movable allocation fallbacks.

* | | | | mm: always steal split buddies in fallback allocationsVlastimil Babka2015-02-111-33/+29

Given the preference of highest available order, it is likely that it will be higher than the desired order, and result in the stolen buddy page being split. The remaining pages after split are currently stolen only when the rest of the free pages are stolen. This can however lead to situations where for MOVABLE allocations we split e.g. order-4 fallback UNMOVABLE page, but steal only order-0 page. Then on the next MOVABLE allocation (which may be batched to fill the pcplists) we split another order-3 or higher page, etc. By stealing all pages that we have split, we can avoid further stealing. This patch therefore adjusts the page stealing so that buddy pages created by split are always stolen. This has effect only on MOVABLE allocations, as RECLAIMABLE and UNMOVABLE allocations already always do that in addition to stealing the rest of free pages from the pageblock. The change also allows to simplify try_to_steal_freepages() and factor out CMA handling. According to Mel, it has been intended since the beginning that buddy pages after split would be stolen always, but it doesn't seem like it was ever the case until commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added"). The commit has unintentionally introduced this behavior, but was reverted by commit 0cbef29a7821 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type"). Neither included evaluation. My evaluation with stress-highalloc from mmtests shows about 2.5x reduction of page stealing events for MOVABLE allocations, without affecting the page stealing events for other allocation migratetypes.

Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what migratetypes are used for fallbacks. Arguably, the worst case of page stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock. RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal, so the goal is to minimize these two cases. The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the results. Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction improvements from [1]. I found that the compaction improvements reduce variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data. First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction, and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test. First column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without reboot. That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts).

Here, each patch improves the situation for unmovable events. Reclaimable is improved by patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse - a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO. The number of movable allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless. These are least critical as compaction can move them around. If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

Configuring the benchmark to allocate like THP page fault (i.e. no sync compaction) gives much noisier results for iterations 2 and 3 after reboot. This is not so surprising given how [1] offers lower improvements in this scenario due to less restarts after deferred compaction which would change compaction pivot.

Anyway, patch 2 rectifies it. Allocation success rates are again unaffected so there's no point in making this e-mail any longer. [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142166196321125&w=2 This patch (of 3): When __rmqueue_fallback() is called to allocate a page of order X, it will find a page of order Y >= X of a fallback migratetype, which is different from the desired migratetype. With the help of try_to_steal_freepages(), it may change the migratetype (to the desired one) also of: 1) all currently free pages in the pageblock containing the fallback page 2) the fallback pageblock itself 3) buddy pages created by splitting the fallback page (when Y > X) These decisions take the order Y into account, as well as the desired migratetype, with the goal of preventing multiple fallback allocations that could e.g. distribute UNMOVABLE allocations among multiple pageblocks. Originally, decision for 1) has implied the decision for 3). Commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") changed that (probably unintentionally) so that the buddy pages in case 3) are always changed to the desired migratetype, except for CMA pageblocks. Commit fef903efcf0c ("mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug") did some refactoring and added a comment that the case of 3) is intended. Commit 0cbef29a7821 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type") removed the comment and tried to restore the original behavior where 1) implies 3), but due to the previous refactoring, the result is instead that only 2) implies 3) - and the conditions for 2) are less frequently met than conditions for 1). This may increase fragmentation in situations where the code decides to steal all free pages from the pageblock (case 1)), but then gives back the buddy pages produced by splitting. This patch restores the original intended logic where 1) implies 3). During testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has shown to decrease the number of events where UNMOVABLE and RECLAIMABLE allocations steal from MOVABLE pageblocks, which can lead to permanent fragmentation. In some cases it has increased the number of events when MOVABLE allocations steal from UNMOVABLE or RECLAIMABLE pageblocks, but these are fixable by sync compaction and thus less harmful. Note that evaluation has shown that the behavior introduced by 47118af076f6 for buddy pages in case 3) is actually even better than the original logic, so the following patch will introduce it properly once again. For stable backports of this patch it makes thus sense to only fix versions containing 0cbef29a7821.

* | | | | mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)Naoya Horiguchi2015-02-112-8/+16

For example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace applications. This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows: - for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole() over vma(VM_PFNMAP), - for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk, just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because these are not interested in hole regions, - for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.

This patch applies page table walker to reduce lines of code. queue_pages_range() has to do some precheck to determine whether we really walk over the vma or just skip it. Now we have test_walk() callback in mm_walk for this purpose, so we can do this replacement cleanly. queue_pages_test_walk() depends on not only the current vma but also the previous one, so queue_pages->prev is introduced to remember it.

Because it's done in pgd loop, considering vma boundary makes code complicated and bug-prone. From the users viewpoint, some user checks some vma-related condition to determine whether the user really does page walk over the vma. In order to solve these, this patch moves vma check outside pgd loop and introduce a new callback ->test_walk(). Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

The problem is that right now practically no get_user_pages call uses FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so we're not leveraging that nifty feature. Andres fixed it for the KVM page fault. However get_user_pages_fast remains uncovered, and 99% of other get_user_pages aren't using it either (the only exception being FOLL_NOWAIT in KVM which is really nonblocking and in fact it doesn't even release the mmap_sem). So this patchsets extends the optimization Andres did in the KVM page fault to the whole kernel. It makes most important places (including gup_fast) to use FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY to reduce the mmap_sem hold times during I/O. The only few places that remains uncovered are drivers like v4l and other exceptions that tends to work on their own memory and they're not working on random user memory (for example like O_DIRECT that uses gup_fast and is fully covered by this patch). A follow up patch should probably also add a printk_once warning to get_user_pages that should go obsolete and be phased out eventually. The "vmas" parameter of get_user_pages makes it fundamentally incompatible with FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY (vmas array becomes meaningless the moment the mmap_sem is released). While this is just an optimization, this becomes an absolute requirement for the userfaultfd feature http://lwn.net/Articles/615086/ . The userfaultfd allows to block the page fault, and in order to do so I need to drop the mmap_sem first. So this patch also ensures that all memory where userfaultfd could be registered by KVM, the very first fault (no matter if it is a regular page fault, or a get_user_pages) always has FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY set. Then the userfaultfd blocks and it is waken only when the pagetable is already mapped. The second fault attempt after the wakeup doesn't need FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so it's ok to retry without it. This patch (of 5): We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault paths better by using either get_user_pages_locked or get_user_pages_unlocked. The former allows conversion of get_user_pages invocations that will have to pass a "&locked" parameter to know if the mmap_sem was dropped during the call. Example from: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); to: int locked = 1; down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); do_something() get_user_pages_locked(tsk, mm, ..., pages, &locked); if (locked) up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); The latter is suitable only as a drop in replacement of the form: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL); up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); into: get_user_pages_unlocked(tsk, mm, ..., pages); Where tsk, mm, the intermediate "..." paramters and "pages" can be any value as before. Just the last parameter of get_user_pages (vmas) must be NULL for get_user_pages_locked|unlocked to be usable (the latter original form wouldn't have been safe anyway if vmas wasn't null, for the former we just make it explicit by dropping the parameter). If vmas is not NULL these two methods cannot be used.

The function has the same interface as alloc_pages_vma(), shares a lot of boilerplate code and a long comment. This patch merges the hugepage special case into alloc_pages_vma. The extra if condition should be cheap enough price to pay. We also prevent a (however unlikely) race with parallel mems_allowed update, which could make hugepage allocation restart only within the fallback call to alloc_hugepage_vma() and not reconsider the special rule in alloc_hugepage_vma(). Also by making sure mpol_cond_put(pol) is always called before actual allocation attempt, we can use a single exit path within the function. Also update the comment for missing node parameter and obsolete reference to mm_sem.

If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation based on mempolicy. This is based on the observation that allocating pages on local node is more beneficial than allocating hugepages on remote node. With this patch applied we may find transparent huge page allocation failures if the current node doesn't have enough freee hugepages. Before this patch such failures result in us retrying the allocation on other nodes in the numa node mask.
