Kirill A. Shutemov [Thu, 29 Nov 2012 03:17:33 +0000 (14:17 +1100)]
thp: huge zero page: basic preparation

During testing I noticed big (up to 2.5 times) memory consumption overhead
on some workloads (e.g.  ft.A from NPB) if THP is enabled.

The main reason for that big difference is lacking zero page in THP case.
We have to allocate a real page on read page fault.

A program to demonstrate the issue:
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define MB 1024*1024

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char *p;
        int i;

        posix_memalign((void **)&p, 2 * MB, 200 * MB);
        for (i = 0; i < 200 * MB; i+= 4096)
                assert(p[i] == 0);
        pause();
        return 0;
}

With thp-never RSS is about 400k, but with thp-always it's 200M.  After
the patcheset thp-always RSS is 400k too.

Design overview.

Huge zero page (hzp) is a non-movable huge page (2M on x86-64) filled with
zeros.  The way how we allocate it changes in the patchset:

- [01/10] simplest way: hzp allocated on boot time in hugepage_init();
- [09/10] lazy allocation on first use;
- [10/10] lockless refcounting + shrinker-reclaimable hzp;

We setup it in do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() if area around fault address
is suitable for THP and we've got read page fault.  If we fail to setup
hzp (ENOMEM) we fallback to handle_pte_fault() as we normally do in THP.

On wp fault to hzp we allocate real memory for the huge page and clear it.
 If ENOMEM, graceful fallback: we create a new pmd table and set pte
around fault address to newly allocated normal (4k) page.  All other ptes
in the pmd set to normal zero page.

We cannot split hzp (and it's bug if we try), but we can split the pmd
which points to it.  On splitting the pmd we create a table with all ptes
set to normal zero page.

===

By hpa's request I've tried alternative approach for hzp implementation
(see Virtual huge zero page patchset): pmd table with all entries set to
zero page.  This way should be more cache friendly, but it increases TLB
pressure.

The problem with virtual huge zero page: it requires per-arch enabling.
We need a way to mark that pmd table has all ptes set to zero page.

Some numbers to compare two implementations (on 4s Westmere-EX):

is_huge_zero_{pfn,pmd}() functions will be used by following patches to

mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion memory

Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug.  This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore".  It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:

o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.

  Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
  "online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
  THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.

  Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
  to save/(reduce waste) memory.

  Memory capacity on Demand

o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
  "online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
  expected when we logic-online it.

  This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.

o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
  hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
  management).

(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)

Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.

When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.

Current constraints:

mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom origin

test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to
specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in
between the two calls.

The usage is

short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX);
...
compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj);

to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum
score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same.

This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls.
The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value
prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.

To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct
that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags.  KSM and swapoff can
now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed
first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj.

This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading
/proc/pid/oom_score.

11 years agomm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility
Rafael Aquini [Thu, 29 Nov 2012 03:17:24 +0000 (14:17 +1100)]
mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.

This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on
making its page set movable to compaction, and thus allowing the system
to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.

This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" -- http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make
those subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages
become movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned
fragmentation issue

Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing
compaction to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.

Results for STRESS-HIGHALLOC benchmark, from Mel Gorman's mmtests suite,

x86 and MIPS cache alignment code as the basis for a generic cache
alignment function.

The old x86 code will always align the mmap to aliasing boundaries,

If program A mmaps the file with pgoff 0, and program B mmaps the file
with pgoff 1.  The old code would align the mmaps, resulting in misaligned

Digging into this, the root cause was that vma insertions and removals
require both an rbtree insert or erase operation (which may trigger
tree rotations), and an update of the next vma's gap (which does not

rb_subtree_gap values to be updated in some of the internal nodes, but
without upstream propagation. Then the subsequent update on the next
vma didn't iterate as high up the tree as it should have, as it
stopped as soon as it hit one of the internal nodes that had been
updated as part of a tree rotation.

The fix is to impose that all rb_subtree_gap values must be up to date
before any rbtree insertion or erase, with the possible exception that
the node being erased doesn't need to have an up to date rb_subtree_gap.

This change: introduce validate_mm_rb() to verify that the rbtree does
not include any stale rb_subtree_gap values before node insertion or
erase, so as to avoid the issue where a subsequent vma_gap_update() would
fail to propagate the rb_subtree_gap updates as high up as necessary.

mm: augment vma rbtree with rb_subtree_gap

Define vma->rb_subtree_gap as the largest gap between any vma in the
subtree rooted at that vma, and their predecessor.  Or, for a recursive
definition, vma->rb_subtree_gap is the max of:

- vma->vm_start - vma->vm_prev->vm_end
- rb_subtree_gap fields of the vmas pointed by vma->rb.rb_left and
  vma->rb.rb_right

This will allow get_unmapped_area_* to find a free area of the right size
in O(log(N)) time, instead of potentially having to do a linear walk
across all the VMAs.

Also define mm->highest_vm_end as the vm_end field of the highest vma, so
that we can easily check if the following gap is suitable.

This does have the potential to make unmapping VMAs more expensive,
especially for processes with very large numbers of VMAs, where the VMA
rbtree can grow quite deep.

This is an elusive one, I couldn't reproduce it with master.  This appears
to only happen on the akpm branch, correct?

It happens because of e37c64a9751a ("mm: support more pagesizes for
MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB") adds a spurious "#endif" to include/linux/shm.h
and gets reverted in master by 359078d82a20 ("Revert "mm: support more
pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB"") because of another build failure
that Stephen reports on November 8:

mm/mmap.c: In function 'SYSC_mmap_pgoff':
mm/mmap.c:1271:15: error: 'MAP_HUGE_SHIFT' undeclared (first use in this function)

mm/mmap.c:1271:33: error: 'MAP_HUGE_MASK' undeclared (first use in this function)

I think the best bet would be to merge the following in -mm and then let
Stephen revert it in master again if his build error persists for powerpc:

mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB
to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on others.  This
is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving on some
mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.

This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
specifying the page size.

It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
flag.  When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the change
fully compatible.

Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
right mount based on the specified page size.  When no page size is
specified it uses the mount of the default page size.

The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
appear there.  It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.

I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
under __KERNEL__).  Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined.  The interface should already
work for all other architectures though.  Only architectures that define
multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
powerpc).  However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb sizes,
so it's not easy to add defines.  A program on those architectures would
need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

mm: hwpoison: fix action_result() to print out dirty/clean

action_result() fails to print out "dirty" even if an error occurred on a
dirty pagecache, because when we check PageDirty in action_result() it was
cleared after page isolation even if it's dirty before error handling.
This can break some applications that monitor this message, so should be
fixed.

There are several callers of action_result() except page_action(), but
either of them are not for LRU pages but for free pages or kernel pages,
so we don't have to consider dirty or not for them.

Note that PG_dirty can be set outside page locks as described in commit
6746aff74da29 ("HWPOISON: shmem: call set_page_dirty() with locked page"),
so this patch does not completely closes the race window, but just narrows

11 years agoslub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry
Glauber Costa [Thu, 29 Nov 2012 03:17:09 +0000 (14:17 +1100)]
slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry

Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new
attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series.  In short, slab_mutex
will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function.  This will
create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is
destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then
calls in to the sysfs directory removal function.

In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what
__kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the
lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove.  This is pretty much the last
operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by
splitting this and moving this call alone to later on.  This will fit
nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look
weird now.

memcg: add comments clarifying aspects of cache attribute propagation

This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation.

First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in
memcontrol.h.  The usages already in the codebase are safe.  In mm/slub.c,
it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop.
In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a
few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is
indeed safe.

A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the
parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

slub: slub-specific propagation changes

SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
tunables.  When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any
tunables the parent cache already had.

This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by
the allocator.  We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields.
Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by
sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and
then ->store() in the memcg cache.

The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering
for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee.  To
avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store
time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache.  We
will then get a buffer big enough to hold it.  The corolary to this, is
that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated.

It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.

creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the

Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that

called at cache initialization.  We can just preset the values, and then
things work as expected.

This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in

memcg_kmem_cache_create could be called from either softirq context (where
memcg_stop/resume_account is not needed), or process context, (where
memcg_stop/resume_account is needed).  Just skipping it in-function was
the cleanest way to merge both behaviors.  The reason for that is that we
would try to create caches right away through memcg_kmem_cache_create if
the context would allow us to.

However, the final version of the code that merged did not have this
behavior and we always queue up new cache creation.  Thus, instead of a
comment explaining why current->mm test is needed, my proposal in this
patch is to remove memcg_stop/resume_account from the worker thread and
make sure all callers have a valid mm context.
