mm/compaction: do not count migratepages when unnecessary
During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining
non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages(). The
freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that
migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases.
The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when
migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code. Otherwise, the
non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated,
which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages
list.
Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of
mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining
unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0.
This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes
the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when
the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a
negative error code.
Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when
there's nothing to migrate. This potentially avoids some wasted cycles
and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events
where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0". In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this
was about 75% of the events. The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event
is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and
this one was just duplicating the info.

mm, thp: avoid excessive compaction latency during fault
Synchronous memory compaction can be very expensive: it can iterate an
enormous amount of memory without aborting, constantly rescheduling,
waiting on page locks and lru_lock, etc, if a pageblock cannot be
defragmented.
Unfortunately, it's too expensive for transparent hugepage page faults and
it's much better to simply fallback to pages. On 128GB machines, we find
that synchronous memory compaction can take O(seconds) for a single thp
fault.
Now that async compaction remembers where it left off without strictly
relying on sync compaction, this makes thp allocations best-effort without
causing egregious latency during fault. We still need to retry async
compaction after reclaim, but this won't stall for seconds.

mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn cache for async compaction
Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.
Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.
This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.

mm, compaction: return failed migration target pages back to freelist
Greg reported that he found isolated free pages were returned back to the
VM rather than the compaction freelist. This will cause holes behind the
free scanner and cause it to reallocate additional memory if necessary
later.
He detected the problem at runtime seeing that ext4 metadata pages (esp
the ones read by "sbi->s_group_desc[i] = sb_bread(sb, block)") were
constantly visited by compaction calls of migrate_pages(). These pages
had a non-zero b_count which caused fallback_migrate_page() ->
try_to_release_page() -> try_to_free_buffers() to fail.
Memory compaction works by having a "freeing scanner" scan from one end of
a zone which isolates pages as migration targets while another "migrating
scanner" scans from the other end of the same zone which isolates pages
for migration.
When page migration fails for an isolated page, the target page is
returned to the system rather than the freelist built by the freeing
scanner. This may require the freeing scanner to continue scanning memory
after suitable migration targets have already been returned to the system
needlessly.
This patch returns destination pages to the freeing scanner freelist when
page migration fails. This prevents unnecessary work done by the freeing
scanner but also encourages memory to be as compacted as possible at the
end of the zone.

This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to

it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then

vmscan: memcg: always use swappiness of the reclaimed memcg
Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg (origin
of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory reclaim. This
behavior was consistent (except for difference between global and hard
limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be consistent within
each memcg hierarchy.
After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and
oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of
hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone. This
can lead to an unexpected behavior. Say that a group is explicitly
configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets
swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a
It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the
hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness.
There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the
hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of
somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not
necessarily about the memory limit.
From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon vs.
file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike charges
which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied to the
particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes from.
This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into the
scan_control structure. mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to provide the
correct value before shrink_lruvec is called. The global vm_swappiness is

memcg, mm: introduce lowlimit reclaim
Previous discussions have shown that soft limits cannot be reformed
(http://lwn.net/Articles/555249/). This series introduces an alternative
approach for protecting memory allocated to processes executing within a
memory cgroup controller. It is based on a new tunable that was discussed
with Johannes and Tejun held during the kernel summit 2013 and at LSF
2014.
This patchset introduces such low limit that is functionally similar to a
minimum guarantee. Memcgs which are under their lowlimit are not
considered eligible for the reclaim (both global and hardlimit) unless all
groups under the reclaimed hierarchy are below the low limit when all of
them are considered eligible.
The previous version of the patchset posted as a RFC
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=138677140628677&w=2) suggested a hard
guarantee without any fallback. More discussions led me to reconsidering
the default behavior and come up a more relaxed one. The hard requirement
can be added later based on a use case which really requires. It would be
controlled by memory.reclaim_flags knob which would specify whether to OOM
or fallback (default) when all groups are bellow low limit.
The default value of the limit is 0 so all groups are eligible by default
and an interested party has to explicitly set the limit.
The primary use case is to protect an amount of memory allocated to a
workload without it being reclaimed by an unrelated activity. In some
cases this requirement can be fulfilled by mlock but it is not suitable
for many loads and generally requires application awareness. Such
application awareness can be complex. It effectively forbids the use of
memory overcommit as the application must explicitly manage memory
residency.
With the low limit, such workloads can be placed in a memcg with a low
limit that protects the estimated working set.
The hierarchical behavior of the lowlimit is described in the first patch.
The second patch allows setting the lowlimit. The last 2 patches clarify
documentation about the memcg reclaim in gereneral (3rd patch) and low
limit (4th patch).
This patch (of 4)
This patch introduces low limit reclaim. The low_limit acts as a reclaim
protection because groups which are under their low_limit are considered
ineligible for reclaim. While hardlimit protects from using more memory
than allowed lowlimit protects from getting below memory assigned to the
group due to external memory pressure.
More precisely a group is considered eligible for the reclaim under a
specific hierarchy represented by its root only if the group is above its
low limit and the same applies to all parents up the hierarchy to the
root. Nevertheless the limit still might be ignored if all groups under
the reclaimed hierarchy are under their low limits. This will prevent
from OOM rather than protecting the memory.
Consider the following hierarchy with memory pressure coming from the
group A (hard limit reclaim - l-low_limit_in_bytes, u-usage_in_bytes,
h-limit_in_bytes):
root_mem_cgroup
.
_____/
/
A (l = 80 u=90 h=90)
/
/ \_________
/ \
B (l=0 u=50) C (l=50 u=40)
\
D (l=0 u=30)
A and B are reclaimable but C and D are not (D is protected by C).
The low_limit is 0 by default so every group is eligible. This patch
doesn't provide a way to set the limit yet although the core
infrastructure is there already.

mm: introdule compound_head_by_tail()
Currently, in put_compound_page(), we have
======

if (put_page_testzero(page)) {
/*
¦* By the time all refcounts have been released
¦* split_huge_page cannot run anymore from under us.

/* __split_huge_page_refcount can run under us */
page_head = compound_head(page); <------------ (2)
======
if at (1) , we fail the check, this means page is *likely* a tail page.
Then at (2), as compoud_head(page) is inlined, it is :
smp_rmb();
if (likely(PageTail(page)))
return head;
}
return page;
}
======
here, the (3) unlikely in the case is a negative hint, because it is
*likely* a tail page. So the check (3) in this case is not good, so I
introduce a helper for this case.
So this patch introduces compound_head_by_tail() which deals with a
possible tail page(though it could be spilt by a racy thread), and make
compound_head() a wrapper on it.
This patch has no functional change, and it reduces the object
size slightly:
text data bss dec hex filename
11003 1328 16 12347 303b mm/swap.o.orig
10971 1328 16 12315 301b mm/swap.o.patched
I've ran "perf top -e branch-miss" to observe branch-miss in this case.
As Michael points out, it's a slow path, so only very few times this case
happens. But I grep'ed the code base, and found there still are some
other call sites could be benifited from this helper. And given that it
only bloating up the source by only 5 lines, but with a reduced object
size. I still believe this helper deserves to exsit.

mm/swap.c: split put_compound_page()
Currently, put_compound_page() carefully handles tricky cases to avoid
racing with compound page releasing or splitting, which makes it quite
lenthy (about 200+ lines) and needs deep tab indention, which makes it
quite hard to follow and maintain.
Now based on two helpers introduced in the previous patch ("mm/swap.c:

put_compound_page"), this patch replaces those two lengthy code paths with
these two helpers, respectively. Also, it has some comment rephrasing.
After this patch, the put_compound_page() is very compact, thus easy to
read and maintain.
After splitting, the object file is of same size as the original one.
Actually, I've diff'ed put_compound_page()'s orginal disassemble code and
the patched disassemble code, the are 100% the same!
This fact shows that this splitting has no functional change, but it
brings readability.
This patch and the previous one blow the code by 32 lines, mostly due to

mm/vmscan.c: avoid throttling reclaim for loop-back nfsd threads
When a loopback NFS mount is active and the backing device for the NFS
mount becomes congested, that can impose throttling delays on the nfsd
threads.
These delays significantly reduce throughput and so the NFS mount remains
congested.
This results in a livelock and the reduced throughput persists.
This livelock has been found in testing with the 'wait_iff_congested'
call, and could possibly be caused by the 'congestion_wait' call.
This livelock is similar to the deadlock which justified the introduction
of PF_LESS_THROTTLE, and the same flag can be used to remove this
livelock.
To minimise the impact of the change, we still throttle nfsd when the
filesystem it is writing to is congested, but not when some separate
filesystem (e.g. the NFS filesystem) is congested.

memcg, slab: simplify synchronization scheme
At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per
memcg kmem caches:
- slab_mutex. This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
and destruction paths. We also take it when updating per root cache
memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches). As a result, taking
it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
memcg). Why do we need something else then? The point is it is
private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
other mutexes (get_online_cpus). So we just don't want to rely upon it
and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.
- activate_kmem_mutex. Initially it was added to synchronize
initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem). However, since we can
grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g. see
__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).
- We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g. for
destroying all memcg caches on offline). So we have per memcg
slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.
Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:
- We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order. As a result, in
mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.
- We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). Currently we just
don't bother about it.
This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with the global memcg_slab_mutex. It will be held whenever a new per
memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists. The locking
order is following:
This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
memcg_slab_mutex. As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
memcg slab caches list.
Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g. mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.
The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

memcg, slab: do not schedule cache destruction when last page goes away
This patchset is a part of preparations for kmemcg re-parenting. It
targets at simplifying kmemcg work-flows and synchronization.
First, it removes async per memcg cache destruction (see patches 1, 2).
Now caches are only destroyed on memcg offline. That means the caches
that are not empty on memcg offline will be leaked. However, they are
already leaked, because memcg_cache_params::nr_pages normally never drops
to 0 so the destruction work is never scheduled except kmem_cache_shrink
is called explicitly. In the future I'm planning reaping such dead caches
on vmpressure or periodically.
Second, it substitutes per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global
memcg_slab_mutex, which should be taken during the whole per memcg cache
creation/destruction path before the slab_mutex (see patch 3). This
greatly simplifies synchronization among various per memcg cache
creation/destruction paths.
I'm still not quite sure about the end picture, in particular I don't know
whether we should reap dead memcgs' kmem caches periodically or try to
merge them with their parents (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/20/38 for
more details), but whichever way we choose, this set looks like a
reasonable change to me, because it greatly simplifies kmemcg work-flows
and eases further development.
This patch (of 3):
After a memcg is offlined, we mark its kmem caches that cannot be deleted
right now due to pending objects as dead by setting the
memcg_cache_params::dead flag, so that memcg_release_pages will schedule
cache destruction (memcg_cache_params::destroy) as soon as the last slab
of the cache is freed (memcg_cache_params::nr_pages drops to zero).
I guess the idea was to destroy the caches as soon as possible, i.e.
immediately after freeing the last object. However, it just doesn't work
that way, because kmem caches always preserve some pages for the sake of
performance, so that nr_pages never gets to zero unless the cache is
shrunk explicitly using kmem_cache_shrink. Of course, we could account
the total number of objects on the cache or check if all the slabs
allocated for the cache are empty on kmem_cache_free and schedule
destruction if so, but that would be too costly.
Thus we have a piece of code that works only when we explicitly call
kmem_cache_shrink, but complicates the whole picture a lot. Moreover,
it's racy in fact. For instance, kmem_cache_shrink may free the last slab
and thus schedule cache destruction before it finishes checking that the
cache is empty, which can lead to use-after-free.
So I propose to remove this async cache destruction from
memcg_release_pages, and check if the cache is empty explicitly after
calling kmem_cache_shrink instead. This will simplify things a lot w/o
introducing any functional changes.
And regarding dead memcg caches (i.e. those that are left hanging around
after memcg offline for they have objects), I suppose we should reap them
either periodically or on vmpressure as Glauber suggested initially. I'm
going to implement this later.

memcg: do not hang on OOM when killed by userspace OOM access to memory reserves
Eric has reported that he can see task(s) stuck in memcg OOM handler
regularly. The only way out is to
echo 0 > $GROUP/memory.oom_control
His usecase is:
- Setup a hierarchy with memory and the freezer (disable kernel oom and
have a process watch for oom).
- In that memory cgroup add a process with one thread per cpu.
- In one thread slowly allocate once per second I think it is 16M of ram
and mlock and dirty it (just to force the pages into ram and stay
there).
- When oom is achieved loop:
* attempt to freeze all of the tasks.
* if frozen send every task SIGKILL, unfreeze, remove the directory in
cgroupfs.
Eric has then pinpointed the issue to be memcg specific.
All tasks are sitting on the memcg_oom_waitq when memcg oom is disabled.
Those that have received fatal signal will bypass the charge and should
continue on their way out. The tricky part is that the exit path might
trigger a page fault (e.g. exit_robust_list), thus the memcg charge,
while its memcg is still under OOM because nobody has released any charges
yet.
Unlike with the in-kernel OOM handler the exiting task doesn't get
TIF_MEMDIE set so it doesn't shortcut further charges of the killed task
and falls to the memcg OOM again without any way out of it as there are no
fatal signals pending anymore.
This patch fixes the issue by checking PF_EXITING early in
mem_cgroup_try_charge and bypass the charge same as if it had fatal
signal pending or TIF_MEMDIE set.
Normally exiting tasks (aka not killed) will bypass the charge now but
this should be OK as the task is leaving and will release memory and
increasing the memory pressure just to release it in a moment seems
dubious wasting of cycles. Besides that charges after exit_signals should
be rare.
I am bringing this patch again (rebased on the current mmotm tree). I
hope we can move forward finally. If there is still an opposition then
I would really appreciate a concurrent approach so that we can discuss
alternatives.
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/77650 is a reference
to the followup discussion when the patch has been dropped from the mmotm

throttle_direct_reclaim() is meant to trigger during swap-over-network

throttes on the first node in the zonelist but this is flawed.
The user-visible impact is that a process running on CPU whose local
memory node has no ZONE_NORMAL will stall for prolonged periods of time,
possibly indefintely. This is due to throttle_direct_reclaim thinking the
pfmemalloc reserves are depleted when in fact they don't exist on that
node.
On a NUMA machine running a 32-bit kernel (I know) allocation requests
from CPUs on node 1 would detect no pfmemalloc reserves and the process
gets throttled. This patch adjusts throttling of direct reclaim to
throttle based on the first node in the zonelist that has a usable
ZONE_NORMAL or lower zone.

mm/page_alloc: prevent MIGRATE_RESERVE pages from being misplaced
For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is important they do not get misplaced
on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise the whole MIGRATE_RESERVE
pageblock might be changed to other migratetype in
try_to_steal_freepages().
Currently, it is however possible for this to happen when MIGRATE_RESERVE
page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a fallback for
other desired migratetype, and then later freed back through
free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used. This happens because
free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose the
free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with the
*desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to
set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to
__rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's
migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from) is used.
Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page
stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care to
leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.
Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to
get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can
be removed completely. This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above. The
related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory
isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp
lists containing pages that should be isolated. The buffered_rmqueue()
can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of
get_pageblock_migratetype().
A separate patch will add VM_BUG_ON checks for the invariant that for
MIGRATE_RESERVE and MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks, freepage_migratetype must
equal to pageblock_migratetype so that these pages always go to the
correct free_list.

slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}
When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures for
each online NUMA node. To handle nodes taken online/offline, we register
memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node corresponding to
the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.
To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right, because
it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug. For
instance, in case of slub:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
kmem_cache_create: online_pages:
__kmem_cache_create: slab_memory_callback:
slab_mem_going_online_callback:
lock slab_mutex
for each slab_caches list entry
allocate kmem_cache node
unlock slab_mutex
lock slab_mutex
init_kmem_cache_nodes:
for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
allocate kmem_cache node
add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
unlock slab_mutex
online_pages (continued):
node_states_set_node
As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
allocated.
To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during the
whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we deal with
cpu hotplug. This patch does the trick.
Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.

mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of cpu/node
online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node kmem_cache
parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem hotplug. To protect
against cpu hotplug, these functions use {get,put}_online_cpus. However,
they do nothing to synchronize with memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex
does not eliminate the possibility of race as described in patch 2.
What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory. We
already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but it's a
bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex. As a result,
it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not desirable, and
can't be used just like get_online_cpus. That's why in patch 1 I
substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly like
get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug.
[ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68. I NAK'ed it by
myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems, making
them dead lock prune. ]
This patch (of 2):
{un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory
hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a hammer
- threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes mask won't
be able to proceed concurrently. Also, it imposes some strong locking
ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its usage scenarios.
This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as
get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e. executing a code inside
a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of online
nodes, present pages, etc.
lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

mm: disable zone_reclaim_mode by default
When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances
punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA node.
NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are NUMA-aware and
it's routine to see major performance degradation due to zone_reclaim_mode
being enabled but relatively few can identify the problem.
Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect when
it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a sensible
default for the bulk of users.
This patch (of 2):
zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from local
node instead of spilling over to other nodes. This made sense initially when
NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the workload was partitioned
into nodes. The NUMA penalties were sufficiently high to justify reclaiming
the memory. On current machines and workloads it is often the case that
zone_reclaim_mode destroys performance but not all users know how to detect
this. Favour the common case and disable it by default. Users that are
sophisticated enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime
HugeTLB is limited to allocating hugepages whose size are less than
MAX_ORDER order. This is so because HugeTLB allocates hugepages via the
buddy allocator. Gigantic pages (that is, pages whose size is greater
than MAX_ORDER order) have to be allocated at boottime.
However, boottime allocation has at least two serious problems. First, it
doesn't support NUMA and second, gigantic pages allocated at boottime
can't be freed.
This commit solves both issues by adding support for allocating gigantic
pages during runtime. It works just like regular sized hugepages, meaning
that the interface in sysfs is the same, it supports NUMA, and gigantic
pages can be freed.
For example, on x86_64 gigantic pages are 1GB big. To allocate two 1G
gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:
The one problem with gigantic page allocation at runtime is that it can't
be serviced by the buddy allocator. To overcome that problem, this commit
scans all zones from a node looking for a large enough contiguous region.
When one is found, it's allocated by using CMA, that is, we call
alloc_contig_range() to do the actual allocation. For example, on x86_64
we scan all zones looking for a 1GB contiguous region. When one is found,
it's allocated by alloc_contig_range().
One expected issue with that approach is that such gigantic contiguous
regions tend to vanish as runtime goes by. The best way to avoid this for
now is to make gigantic page allocations very early during system boot,
say from a init script. Other possible optimization include using
compaction, which is supported by CMA but is not explicitly used by this
commit.
It's also important to note the following:
1. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime by the hugepages= command-line
option can be freed at runtime just fine
2. This commit adds support for gigantic pages only to x86_64. The
reason is that I don't have access to nor experience with other archs.
The code is arch indepedent though, so it should be simple to add
support to different archs
3. I didn't add support for hugepage overcommit, that is allocating
a gigantic page on demand when
/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0. The reason is that I don't
think it's reasonable to do the hard and long work required for
allocating a gigantic page at fault time. But it should be simple
to add this if wanted
