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.

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

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

hugetlb: prep_compound_gigantic_page(): drop __init marker
The HugeTLB subsystem uses the buddy allocator to allocate hugepages
during runtime. This means that hugepages allocation during runtime is
limited to MAX_ORDER order. For archs supporting gigantic pages (that is,
page sizes greater than MAX_ORDER), this in turn means that those pages
can't be allocated at runtime.
HugeTLB supports gigantic page allocation during boottime, via the boot
allocator. To this end the kernel provides the command-line options
hugepagesz= and hugepages=, which can be used to instruct the kernel to
allocate N gigantic pages during boot.
For example, x86_64 supports 2M and 1G hugepages, but only 2M hugepages
can be allocated and freed at runtime. If one wants to allocate 1G
gigantic pages, this has to be done at boot via the hugepagesz= and
hugepages= command-line options.
Now, gigantic page allocation at boottime has two serious problems:
1. Boottime allocation is not NUMA aware. On a NUMA machine the kernel
evenly distributes boottime allocated hugepages among nodes.
For example, suppose you have a four-node NUMA machine and want
to allocate four 1G gigantic pages at boottime. The kernel will
allocate one gigantic page per node.
On the other hand, we do have users who want to be able to specify
which NUMA node gigantic pages should allocated from. So that they
can place virtual machines on a specific NUMA node.
2. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed
At this point it's important to observe that regular hugepages allocated
at runtime don't have those problems. This is so because HugeTLB
interface for runtime allocation in sysfs supports NUMA and runtime
allocated pages can be freed just fine via the buddy allocator.
This series adds support for allocating gigantic pages at runtime. It
does so by allocating gigantic pages via CMA instead of the buddy
allocator. Releasing gigantic pages is also supported via CMA. As this
series builds on top of the existing HugeTLB interface, it makes gigantic
page allocation and releasing just like regular sized hugepages. This
also means that NUMA support just works.
For example, to allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:

x86: make dma_alloc_coherent() return zeroed memory if CMA is enabled
This patchset enhances the DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator on x86.
Currently the DMA CMA is only supported with pci-nommu dma_map_ops and
furthermore it can't be enabled on x86_64. But I would like to allocate
big contiguous memory with dma_alloc_coherent() and tell it to the device
that requires it, regardless of which dma mapping implementation is
actually used in the system.
So this makes it work with swiotlb and intel-iommu dma_map_ops, too. And
this also extends "cma=" kernel parameter to specify placement constraint
by the physical address range of memory allocations. For example, CMA
allocates memory below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G", it is required for the
devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems without iommu.
This patch (of 5):
Calling dma_alloc_coherent() with __GFP_ZERO must return zeroed memory.
But when the contiguous memory allocator (CMA) is enabled on x86 and the
memory region is allocated by dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), it doesn't
return zeroed memory. Because dma_generic_alloc_coherent() forgot to fill
the memory region with zero if it was allocated by
dma_alloc_from_contiguous()
Most implementations of dma_alloc_coherent() return zeroed memory
regardless of whether __GFP_ZERO is specified. So this fixes it by
unconditionally zeroing the allocated memory region.
Alternatively, we could fix dma_alloc_from_contiguous() to return zeroed
out memory and remove memset() from all caller of it. But we can't simply
remove the memset on arm because __dma_clear_buffer() is used there for
ensuring cache flushing and it is used in many places. Of course we can
do redundant memset in dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), but I think this patch
is less impact for fixing this problem.

mm: only force scan in reclaim when none of the LRUs are big enough.
Prior to this change, we would decide whether to force scan a LRU during
reclaim if that LRU itself was too small for the current priority.
However, this can lead to the file LRU getting force scanned even if there
are a lot of anonymous pages we can reclaim, leading to hot file pages
getting needlessly reclaimed.
To address this, we instead only force scan when none of the reclaimable
LRUs are big enough.

pagewalk: update page table walker core
This patch updates mm/pagewalk.c to make code less complex and more
maintainable. The basic idea is unchanged and there's no userspace visible
effect.
Most of existing callback functions need access to vma to handle each
entry. So we had better add a new member vma in struct mm_walk instead of
using mm_walk->private, which makes code simpler.
One problem in current page table walker is that we check vma in pgd loop.
Historically this was introduced to support hugetlbfs in the strange
manner. It's better and cleaner to do the vma check outside pgd loop.
Another problem is that many users of page table walker now use only
pmd_entry(), although it does both pmd-walk and pte-walk. This makes code
duplication and fluctuation among callers, which worsens the
maintenability.
One difficulty of code sharing is that the callers want to determine
whether they try to walk over a specific vma or not in their own way. To
solve this, this patch introduces test_walk() callback.
When we try to use multiple callbacks in different levels, skip control is
also important. For example we have thp enabled in normal configuration,
and we are interested in doing some work for a thp. But sometimes we want
to split it and handle as normal pages, and in another time user would
handle both at pmd level and pte level. What we need is that when we've
done pmd_entry() we want to decide whether to go down to pte level
handling based on the pmd_entry()'s result. So this patch introduces a
skip control flag in mm_walk. We can't use the returned value for this
purpose, because we already defined the meaning of whole range of returned
values (>0 is to terminate page table walk in caller's specific manner, =0
is to continue to walk, and <0 is to abort the walk in the general
manner.)

mm, hugetlbfs: fix rmapping for anonymous hugepages with page_pgoff()
page->index stores pagecache index when the page is mapped into file
mapping region, and the index is in pagecache size unit, so it depends on
the page size. Some of users of reverse mapping obviously assumes that
page->index is in PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT unit, so they don't work for anonymous
hugepage.
For example, consider that we have 3-hugepage vma and try to mbind the 2nd
hugepage to migrate to another node. Then the vma is split and
migrate_page() is called for the 2nd hugepage (belonging to the middle
vma.) In migrate operation, rmap_walk_anon() tries to find the relevant
vma to which the target hugepage belongs, but here we miscalculate pgoff.
So anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() grabs invalid vma, which fires
VM_BUG_ON.
This patch introduces a new API that is usable both for normal page and
hugepage to get PAGE_SIZE offset from page->index. Users should clearly
distinguish page_index for pagecache index and page_pgoff for page offset.
