mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary parameter from zone_watermark_ok_safe
Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which
was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator. Once this is
done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks.
The series starts with minor micro-optimisations.
Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused.
__GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could
access reserves. This was later abused to identify callers that simply
prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options. A patch distinguishes
between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish
to avoid sleep.
The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious
merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained. The
most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to
be treated as "full". This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim
activity or remote fallbacks. The issues could be fixed but it's not
worth it. The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations
on top before examining GFP flags watermarks.
High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail
even though pages are free. The watermark checks both protect high-order
atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is
a much better way that can be handled using migrate types. This series
uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order
allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand. kswapd
awareness is maintained by examining the free lists. By patch 12 in this
series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the
properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks.
This patch (of 10):
No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags. This patch
removes the unnecessary parameter.

mm, oom: remove task_lock protecting comm printing
The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.
A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.
The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.
Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.

mm, compaction: distinguish contended status in tracepoints
Compaction returns prematurely with COMPACT_PARTIAL when contended or has

in the traces, as the usual reason to return COMPACT_PARTIAL is that we
think the allocation should succeed. After this patch we distinguish the
premature ending condition in the mm_compaction_finished and
mm_compaction_end tracepoints.
The contended status covers the following reasons:
- lock contention or need_resched() detected in async compaction
- fatal signal pending
- too many pages isolated in the zone (only for async compaction)
Further distinguishing the exact reason seems unnecessary for now.

More importantly, we simply can not do mmput() in oom_kill_process(), this

actually leads to exit_mmap(); the victim can have this file mmaped and in

Although the possibility of hitting this time lag is very small for 3.19

SIGKILL, preemption or long interrupts (an extreme example is SysRq-t) can
step between and allow memory allocations which are not needed for

Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value

- Lockdep already knows that reclaim sometimes (e.g. in case of

mm: make swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate
This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate. When
khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages in swap area.
With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to
max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range.
The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 400B of memory,
writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all.
Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing, it skips a page
in each 20 pages of the area.
Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead. THP rate was %65 of
the program of the memory, it did not change over time.
With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99
of the program's memory.

mm/khugepaged: fix scan not aborted on SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE
This patch fixes a typo in khugepaged_scan_pmd(): instead of setting
"result" to SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE we set "ret". Setting "ret" results in
an attempt to collapse a huge page although we meant aborting the scan.
As a result, we can call khugepaged_find_target_node() with all entries
in the khugepaged_node_load array being zeros. The latter is not ready
for that and might return an offline node on such input. This leads to a
warning followed by kernel panic:

memcg: drop unnecessary cold-path tests from __memcg_kmem_bypass()
__memcg_kmem_bypass() decides whether a kmem allocation should be bypassed
to the root memcg. Some conditions that it tests are valid criteria
regarding who should be held accountable; however, there are a couple
unnecessary tests for cold paths - __GFP_FAIL and fatal_signal_pending().
The previous patch updated try_charge() to handle both __GFP_FAIL and
dying tasks correctly and the only thing these two tests are doing is
making accounting less accurate and sprinkling tests for cold path
conditions in the hot paths. There's nothing meaningful gained by these
extra tests.

memcg: ratify and consolidate over-charge handling
try_charge() is the main charging logic of memcg. When it hits the limit
but either can't fail the allocation due to __GFP_NOFAIL or the task is
likely to free memory very soon, being OOM killed, has SIGKILL pending or
exiting, it "bypasses" the charge to the root memcg and returns -EINTR.
While this is one approach which can be taken for these situations, it has
several issues.
* It unnecessarily lies about the reality. The number itself doesn't
go over the limit but the actual usage does. memcg is either forced
to or actively chooses to go over the limit because that is the
right behavior under the circumstances, which is completely fine,
but, if at all avoidable, it shouldn't be misrepresenting what's
happening by sneaking the charges into the root memcg.
* Despite trying, we already do over-charge. kmemcg can't deal with
switching over to the root memcg by the point try_charge() returns
-EINTR, so it open-codes over-charing.
* It complicates the callers. Each try_charge() user has to handle
the weird -EINTR exception. memcg_charge_kmem() does the manual
over-charging. mem_cgroup_do_precharge() performs unnecessary
uncharging of root memcg, which BTW is inconsistent with what
memcg_charge_kmem() does but not broken as [un]charging are noops on
root memcg. mem_cgroup_try_charge() needs to switch the returned
cgroup to the root one.
The reality is that in memcg there are cases where we are forced and/or
willing to go over the limit. Each such case needs to be scrutinized and
justified but there definitely are situations where that is the right
thing to do. We alredy do this but with a superficial and inconsistent
disguise which leads to unnecessary complications.
This patch updates try_charge() so that it over-charges and returns 0 when
deemed necessary. -EINTR return is removed along with all special case
handling in the callers.
While at it, remove the local variable @ret, which was initialized to zero
and never changed, along with done: label which just returned the always
zero @ret.

memcg: punt high overage reclaim to return-to-userland path
Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the
high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have
__GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only
speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is
actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub
allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's
memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating
memory regardless of the high limit.
This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the
return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is
breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and
schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs
synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path.
As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should
provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently.
It also has the following benefits.
- All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific
gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached.
- It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with
small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of
locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it
would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and
released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit
path this issue can be avoided.

x86, NUMA, ACPI: online node earlier when doing CPU hot-addition
This is the third version to enable memoryless node support on x86
platforms. The previous version (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/11/75)
blindly replaces numa_node_id()/cpu_to_node() with numa_mem_id()/
cpu_to_mem(). That's not the right solution as pointed out by Tejun and
Peter due to:
1) We shouldn't shift the burden to normal slab users.
2) Details of memoryless node should be hidden in arch and mm code
as much as possible.
After digging into more code and documentation, we found the rules to
deal with memoryless node should be:
1) Arch code should online corresponding NUMA node before onlining any
CPU or memory, otherwise it may cause invalid memory access when
accessing NODE_DATA(nid).
2) For normal memory allocations without __GFP_THISNODE setting in the
gfp_flags, we should prefer numa_node_id()/cpu_to_node() instead of
numa_mem_id()/cpu_to_mem() because the latter loses hardware topology
information as pointed out by Tejun:
A - B - X - C - D
Where X is the memless node. numa_mem_id() on X would return
either B or C, right? If B or C can't satisfy the allocation,
the allocator would fallback to A from B and D for C, both of
which aren't optimal. It should first fall back to C or B
respectively, which the allocator can't do anymoe because the
information is lost when the caller side performs numa_mem_id().
3) For memory allocation with __GFP_THISNODE setting in gfp_flags,
numa_node_id()/cpu_to_node() should be used if caller only wants to
allocate from local memory, otherwise numa_mem_id()/cpu_to_mem()
should be used if caller wants to allocate from the nearest node
with memory.
4) numa_mem_id()/cpu_to_mem() should be used if caller wants to check
whether a page is allocated from the nearest node.
Based on above rules, this patch set
1) Patch 1 is a bugfix to resolve a crash caused by socket hot-addition
2) Patch 2 replaces numa_mem_id() with numa_node_id() when __GFP_THISNODE
isn't set in gfp_flags.
3) Patch 3-6 replaces numa_node_id()/cpu_to_node() with numa_mem_id()/
cpu_to_mem() if caller wants to allocate from local node only.
4) Patch 7-9 enables support of memoryless node on x86.
With this patch set applied, on a system with two sockets enabled at boot,
one with memory and the other without memory, we got following numa
topology after boot:
root@bkd04sdp:~# numactl --hardware
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44

node 0 free: 15397 MB
node 1 cpus: 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59
node 1 size: 0 MB
node 1 free: 0 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 21
1: 21 10
With typical CPU hot-addition flow on x86, PCI host bridges embedded
in physical processor are always associated with NOMA_NO_NODE, which
may cause sub-optimal performance.
So associated node is always in offline state because it is onlined
until step 3.a or 4.a.
We could improve performance by online node at step 1.a. This change also
makes the code symmetric. Nodes are always created when handling
CPU/memory hot-addition events instead of handling user requests from
sysfs interfaces, and are destroyed when handling CPU/memory hot-removal
events.

The last patch in the series addresses Linus' comment from
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=144148518703321&w=2
(well, it's been some time. sorry.)
gnuplot script takes the slabinfo records file, where every record is a `slabinfo -X'
output. So the basic workflow is, for example, as follows:
while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X -N 2 >> stats; sleep 1; done
^C
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh stats
The last command will produce 3 png files (and 3 stats files)
-- graph of slabinfo totals
-- graph of slabs by size
-- graph of slabs by loss
It's also possible to select a range of records for plotting (a range of collected
slabinfo outputs) via `-r 10,100` (for example); and compare totals from several
measurements (to visially compare slabs behaviour (10,50 range)) using
pre-parsed totals files:
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -r 10,50 -t stats-totals1 .. stats-totals2
This also, technically, supports ktest. Upload new slabinfo to target,
collect the stats and give the resulting stats file to slabinfo-gnuplot

Use getopt constants in `struct option' ->has_arg instead of numerical
representations.

mm/slab_common.c: do not warn that cache is busy on destroy more than once
Currently, when kmem_cache_destroy() is called for a global cache, we
print a warning for each per memcg cache attached to it that has active
objects (see shutdown_cache). This is redundant, because it gives no new
information and only clutters the log. If a cache being destroyed has
active objects, there must be a memory leak in the module that created the
cache, and it does not matter if the cache was used by users in memory
cgroups or not.
This patch moves the warning from shutdown_cache(), which is called for
shutting down both global and per memcg caches, to kmem_cache_destroy(),
so that the warning is only printed once if there are objects left in the

Currently, we do not clear pointers to per memcg caches in the

This is fine if the global cache does get destroyed. However, a cache can
be left on the list if it still has active objects when kmem_cache_destroy

slab.h: sprinkle __assume_aligned attributes
The various allocators return aligned memory. Telling the compiler that
allows it to generate better code in many cases, for example when the
return value is immediately passed to memset().
Some code does become larger, but at least we win twice as much as we lose:
So gcc's strategy is to do two possibly (but not really, of course)
unaligned stores to the first and last word, then do an aligned rep stos
covering the middle part with a little overlap. Maybe arches which do not
allow unaligned stores gain even more.
I don't know if gcc can actually make use of alignments greater than 8 for
anything, so one could probably drop the __assume_xyz_alignment macros and
just use __assume_aligned(8).
The increases in code size are mostly caused by gcc deciding to
opencode strlen() using the check-four-bytes-at-a-time trick when it
knows the buffer is sufficiently aligned (one function grew by 200
bytes). Now it turns out that many of these strlen() calls showing up
were in fact redundant, and they're gone from -next. Applying the two

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist
This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
each with a separate head pointer.
3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.
Performance data:
Benchmarked[1] obj size 256 bytes on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz
SLUB fastpath single object quick reuse: 47 cycles(tsc) 11.931 ns
To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).
Performance data, compared against fallback bulking:
Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking. This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).
Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.
This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.
Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Implement a basic approach of bulking in the SLAB allocator. Simply use
local_irq_{disable,enable} and call single alloc/free in a loop. This
simple implementation approach is surprising fast.
Notice the normal SLAB fastpath is: 96 cycles (24.119 ns). Below table
show that single object bulking only takes 42 cycles. This can be
explained by the bulk APIs requirement to be called from a known interrupt
context, that is with interrupts enabled. This allow us to avoid the
expensive (37 cycles) local_irq_{save,restore}, and instead use the much
faster (7 cycles) local_irq_{disable,restore}.
Benchmarked[1] obj size 256 bytes on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz:
It is not recommended to perform large bulking with SLAB, as local
interrupts are disabled for the entire period. If these kind of use-cases
evolve, this interface should be adjusted to mitigate/reduce the
interrupts off period.

watchdog: fix error handling in proc_watchdog_thresh()
The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by 81a4beef91ba4a9 ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and
watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle errors
returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog threads
to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour from the
perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as appropriate
in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible call chains:
Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a
kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup
detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user
as follows:
- error messages from lockup_detector_suspend()
or watchdog_enable_all_cpus()
- the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled
- the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error
I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some
instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test
the patches.
This patch (of 5):
Restore the previous value of watchdog_thresh _and_ sample_period if
proc_watchdog_update() returns an error. The variables must be consistent
to avoid false positives of the lockup detectors.
