zbud: avoid accessing last unused freelist
For now, there are NCHUNKS of 64 freelists in zbud_pool, the last

zsmalloc: simplify init_zspage free obj linking
Change zsmalloc init_zspage() logic to iterate through each object on each
of its pages, checking the offset to verify the object is on the current
page before linking it into the zspage.
The current zsmalloc init_zspage free object linking code has logic that
relies on there only being one page per zspage when PAGE_SIZE is a
multiple of class->size. It calculates the number of objects for the
current page, and iterates through all of them plus one, to account for
the assumed partial object at the end of the page. While this currently
works, the logic can be simplified to just link the object at each
successive offset until the offset is larger than PAGE_SIZE, which does
not rely on PAGE_SIZE being a multiple of class->size.

zram: use notify_free to account all free notifications
`notify_free' device attribute accounts the number of slot free
notifications and internally represents the number of zram_free_page()
calls. Slot free notifications are sent only when device is used as a
swap device, hence `notify_free' is used only for swap devices. Since
f4659d8e620d08 (zram: support REQ_DISCARD) ZRAM handles yet another one
free notification (also via zram_free_page() call) -- REQ_DISCARD
requests, which are sent by a filesystem, whenever some data blocks are
discarded. However, there is no way to know the number of notifications
in the latter case.
Use `notify_free' to account the number of pages freed by
zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify(). Depending on usage
scenario `notify_free' represents:
a) the number of pages freed because of slot free notifications, which is
equal to the number of swap_slot_free_notify() calls, so there is no
behaviour change
b) the number of pages freed because of REQ_DISCARD notifications

zsmalloc: move pages_allocated to zs_pool
Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can
deplete system memory. Users have asked for a limit several times as even
without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the
platform. This patchset adds the feature.
Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used
frequently in later patches for the new feature.
Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page
so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT).
Patch 3 adds new feature. I added the feature into zram layer, not
zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any
other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary
branch of zsmalloc. In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the
feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc
easily but vice versa would be painful.
Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that
this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total
and ensures transient max are not missed.
This patch (of 4):
pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of
zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from
each size_class to report the sum.
It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see
the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov.
This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce
memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]).

vmstat: on-demand vmstat workers V8
vmstat workers are used for folding counter differentials into the zone,
per node and global counters at certain time intervals. They currently
run at defined intervals on all processors which will cause some holdoff
for processors that need minimal intrusion by the OS.
The current vmstat_update mechanism depends on a deferrable timer firing
every other second by default which registers a work queue item that runs
on the local CPU, with the result that we have 1 interrupt and one
additional schedulable task on each CPU every 2 seconds If a workload
indeed causes VM activity or multiple tasks are running on a CPU, then
there are probably bigger issues to deal with.
However, some workloads dedicate a CPU for a single CPU bound task. This
is done in high performance computing, in high frequency financial
applications, in networking (Intel DPDK, EZchip NPS) and with the advent
of systems with more and more CPUs over time, this may become more and
more common to do since when one has enough CPUs one cares less about
efficiently sharing a CPU with other tasks and more about efficiently
monopolizing a CPU per task.
The difference of having this timer firing and workqueue kernel thread
scheduled per second can be enormous. An artificial test measuring the
worst case time to do a simple "i++" in an endless loop on a bare metal
system and under Linux on an isolated CPU with dynticks and with and
without this patch, have Linux match the bare metal performance (~700
cycles) with this patch and loose by couple of orders of magnitude (~200k
cycles) without it[*]. The loss occurs for something that just calculates
statistics. For networking applications, for example, this could be the
difference between dropping packets or sustaining line rate.
Statistics are important and useful, but it would be great if there would
be a way to not cause statistics gathering produce a huge performance
difference. This patche does just that.
This patch creates a vmstat shepherd worker that monitors the per cpu
differentials on all processors. If there are differentials on a
processor then a vmstat worker local to the processors with the
differentials is created. That worker will then start folding the diffs
in regular intervals. Should the worker find that there is no work to be
done then it will make the shepherd worker monitor the differentials
again.
With this patch it is possible then to have periods longer than
2 seconds without any OS event on a "cpu" (hardware thread).
The patch shows a very minor increased in system performance.

mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages management
Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range().
Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests
AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection
against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags
inside struct anon_vma.
Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation:
* Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works:
balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In
__unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus
balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the
normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns
MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS,
move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns
newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with
balloon an all ability for further migration.
* lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for
isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically,
this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages.
* balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate:
balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between
picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they
use trylock_page() for locking.
This patch fixes all of them.
Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of
page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses
PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark
directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier.
PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not
isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for
reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of
normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to
the balloon device.

mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast()
This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and
__get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64.
These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a
futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the
core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0).
Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain
workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast
implementation.
This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and
certain KVM workloads.
This patch (of 6):
get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page
tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be
protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to
block any THP splits.
One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely
on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages
are freed.
On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus
the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and
spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too
often.
This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page
table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an
rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has
been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables
HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their
own get_user_pages_fast routines.
The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split
(which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by
merely disabling the interrupts during the walk.
This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast
that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB
invalidations.
It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

are linked with map_entries list.

memcg: zap memcg_can_account_kmem
memcg_can_account_kmem() returns true iff
!mem_cgroup_disabled() && !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) &&
memcg_kmem_is_active(memcg);
To begin with the !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) check is useless, because one
can't enable kmem accounting for the root cgroup (mem_cgroup_write()
returns EINVAL on an attempt to set the limit on the root cgroup).
Furthermore, the !mem_cgroup_disabled() check also seems to be redundant.
The point is memcg_can_account_kmem() is called from three places:
mem_cgroup_salbinfo_read(), __memcg_kmem_get_cache(), and
__memcg_kmem_newpage_charge(). The latter two functions are only invoked
if memcg_kmem_enabled() returns true, which implies that the memory cgroup
subsystem is enabled. And mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() shows the output of
memory.kmem.slabinfo, which won't exist if the memory cgroup is completely
disabled.

memcg_kmem_is_active(), and kill the former.

mm: memcontrol: fix transparent huge page allocations under pressure
In a memcg with even just moderate cache pressure, success rates for
transparent huge page allocations drop to zero, wasting a lot of effort
that the allocator puts into assembling these pages.
The reason for this is that the memcg reclaim code was never designed for
higher-order charges. It reclaims in small batches until there is room
for at least one page. Huge page charges only succeed when these batches
add up over a series of huge faults, which is unlikely under any
significant load involving order-0 allocations in the group.
Remove that loop on the memcg side in favor of passing the actual reclaim
goal to direct reclaim, which is already set up and optimized to meet
higher-order goals efficiently.
This brings memcg's THP policy in line with the system policy: if the
allocator painstakingly assembles a hugepage, memcg will at least make an
honest effort to charge it. As a result, transparent hugepage allocation
rates amid cache activity are drastically improved:
vanilla patched
pgalloc
4717530.80 ( +0.00%)
4451376.40 ( -5.64%)
pgfault 491370.60 ( +0.00%) 225477.40 ( -54.11%)
pgmajfault 2.00 ( +0.00%) 1.80 ( -6.67%)
thp_fault_alloc 0.00 ( +0.00%) 531.60 (+100.00%)
thp_fault_fallback 749.00 ( +0.00%) 217.40 ( -70.88%)
[ Note: this may in turn increase memory consumption from internal
fragmentation, which is an inherent risk of transparent hugepages.
Some setups may have to adjust the memcg limits accordingly to
accomodate this - or, if the machine is already packed to capacity,
disable the transparent huge page feature. ]

mm: memcontrol: simplify detecting when the memory+swap limit is hit
When attempting to charge pages, we first charge the memory counter and
then the memory+swap counter. If one of the counters is at its limit, we
enter reclaim, but if it's the memory+swap counter, reclaim shouldn't swap
because that wouldn't change the situation. However, if the counters have
the same limits, we never get to the memory+swap limit. To know whether
reclaim should swap or not, there is a state flag that indicates whether
the limits are equal and whether hitting the memory limit implies hitting
the memory+swap limit.

In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been
handled by reverting
05b843012335 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup
res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains
inside dedicated memcgs.
There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other
than lru_lock held times. This logic, however, can be moved inside the
function. mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not
hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them
in a single run.
The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages). However this code has no usage of
pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
(32) pages. This means that the lock acquisition frequency is
approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled.
The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache().
Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.

memcg: move memcg_{alloc,free}_cache_params to slab_common.c
The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css
reference to the owner memory cgroup in them. However, we can do that in
memcg_{un,}register_cache. OTOH, there are several reasons to move them
to slab_common.c.
First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in
memcontrol.h the better. Since the functions I move don't depend on
memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially
taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too.
Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it
proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c
(memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again
(memcg_update_array_size). In the following patches I move the function
relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and
therefore get rid this circular call path. I think we should have the
cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because
it's easier to follow the code then. So I move arrays alloc/free
functions to slab_common.c too.
The third point isn't obvious. I'm going to make the list_lru structure
per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim. That means we will have
per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too. It turns out that it's much easier to
update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all
the stuff we need is defined there. This patch makes memcg caches arrays
allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru.
So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static.

mm: page_alloc: default node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA, zone-ordering on 32-bit
Zones are allocated by the page allocator in either node or zone order.
Node ordering is preferred in terms of locality and is applied
automatically in one of three cases:
1. If a node has only low memory
2. If DMA/DMA32 is a high percentage of memory
3. If low memory on a single node is greater than 70% of the node size
Otherwise zone ordering is used to preserve low memory for devices that
require it. Unfortunately a consequence of this is that applications
running on a machine with balanced NUMA nodes will experience different
performance characteristics depending on which node they happen to start
from.
The point of zone ordering is to protect lower zones for devices that
require DMA/DMA32 memory. When NUMA was first introduced, this was
critical as 32-bit NUMA machines existed and exhausting low memory
triggered OOMs easily as so many allocations required low memory. On
64-bit machines the primary concern is devices that are 32-bit only which
is less severe than the low memory exhaustion problem on 32-bit NUMA. It
seems there are really few devices that depends on it.
AGP -- I assume this is getting more rare but even then I think the allocations
happen early in boot time where lowmem pressure is less of a problem
DRM -- If the device is 32-bit only then there may be low pressure. I didn't
evaluate these in detail but it looks like some of these are mobile
graphics card. Not many NUMA laptops out there. DRM folk should know
better though.
Some TV cards -- Much demand for 32-bit capable TV cards on NUMA machines?
B43 wireless card -- again not really a NUMA thing.
I cannot find a good reason to incur a performance penalty on all 64-bit NUMA
machines in case someone throws a brain damanged TV or graphics card in there.
This patch defaults to node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA machines. I was tempted
to make it default everywhere but I understand that some embedded arches may
be using 32-bit NUMA where I cannot predict the consequences.
The performance impact depends on the workload and the characteristics of the
machine and the machine I tested on had a large Normal zone on node 0 so the
impact is within the noise for the majority of tests. The allocation stats
show more allocation requests were from DMA32 and local node. Running SpecJBB
with multiple JVMs and automatic NUMA balancing disabled the results were

expectation is that DMA32 was being used at the low watermark instead of
falling into the slow path. kswapd was not woken but it's not worken for
THP allocations.
On 32-bit, this patch defaults to zone-ordering as low memory depletion
can be a serious problem on 32-bit large memory machines. If the default
ordering was node then processes on node 0 will deplete the Normal zone
due to normal activity. The problem is worse if CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not
set. If combined with large amounts of dirty/writeback pages in Normal
zone then there is also a high risk of OOM. The heuristics are removed
as it's not clear they were ever important on 32-bit. They were only
relevant for setting node-ordering on 64-bit.

2) o2net_wq processes this work and call the following functions:

mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set
commit
21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag to avoid doing
I/O inside memory allocation, __GFP_IO is cleared when this flag is set,
but __GFP_FS implies __GFP_IO, it should also be cleared. Or it may still
run into I/O, like in superblock shrinker. And this will make the kernel
run into the deadlock case described in that commit.
See Dave Chinner's comment about io in superblock shrinker:
Filesystem shrinkers do indeed perform IO from the superblock shrinker and
have for years. Even clean inodes can require IO before they can be freed
- e.g. on an orphan list, need truncation of post-eof blocks, need to
wait for ordered operations to complete before it can be freed, etc.
IOWs, Ext4, btrfs and XFS all can issue and/or block on arbitrary amounts
of IO in the superblock shrinker context. XFS, in particular, has been
doing transactions and IO from the VFS inode cache shrinker since it was
first introduced....
Fix this by clearing __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags(), this function has
masked all the gfp_mask that will be passed into fs for the processes
setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in the direct reclaim path.

mempolicy: fix show_numa_map() vs exec() + do_set_mempolicy() race
9e7814404b77 "hold task->mempolicy while numa_maps scans." fixed the
race with the exiting task but this is not enough.
The current code assumes that get_vma_policy(task) should either see
task->mempolicy == NULL or it should be equal to ->task_mempolicy saved
by hold_task_mempolicy(), so we can never race with __mpol_put(). But
this can only work if we can't race with do_set_mempolicy(), and thus
we can't race with another do_set_mempolicy() or do_exit() after that.
However, do_set_mempolicy()->down_write(mmap_sem) can not prevent this
race. This task can exec, change it's ->mm, and call do_set_mempolicy()
after that; in this case they take 2 different locks.
Change hold_task_mempolicy() to use get_task_policy(), it never returns
NULL, and change show_numa_map() to use __get_vma_policy() or fall back
to proc_priv->task_mempolicy.
Note: this is the minimal fix, we will cleanup this code later. I think
hold_task_mempolicy() and release_task_mempolicy() should die, we can
move this logic into show_numa_map(). Or we can move get_task_policy()
outside of ->mmap_sem and !CONFIG_NUMA code at least.

prctl: PR_SET_MM -- introduce PR_SET_MM_MAP operation
During development of c/r we've noticed that in case if we need to support
user namespaces we face a problem with capabilities in prctl(PR_SET_MM,
...) call, in particular once new user namespace is created
capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) no longer passes.
A approach is to eliminate CAP_SYS_RESOURCE check but pass all new values
in one bundle, which would allow the kernel to make more intensive test
for sanity of values and same time allow us to support checkpoint/restore
of user namespaces.
Thus a new command PR_SET_MM_MAP introduced. It takes a pointer of
prctl_mm_map structure which carries all the members to be updated.
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, struct prctl_mm_map *, size)
struct prctl_mm_map {
__u64 start_code;
__u64 end_code;
__u64 start_data;
__u64 end_data;
__u64 start_brk;
__u64 brk;
__u64 start_stack;
__u64 arg_start;
__u64 arg_end;
__u64 env_start;
__u64 env_end;
__u64 *auxv;
__u32 auxv_size;
__u32 exe_fd;
};
All members except @exe_fd correspond ones of struct mm_struct. To figure
out which available values these members may take here are meanings of the
members.
- start_code, end_code: represent bounds of executable code area
- start_data, end_data: represent bounds of data area
- start_brk, brk: used to calculate bounds for brk() syscall
- start_stack: used when accounting space needed for command
line arguments, environment and shmat() syscall
- arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end: represent memory area
supplied for command line arguments and environment variables
- auxv, auxv_size: carries auxiliary vector, Elf format specifics
- exe_fd: file descriptor number for executable link (/proc/self/exe)
Thus we apply the following requirements to the values
1) Any member except @auxv, @auxv_size, @exe_fd is rather an address
in user space thus it must be laying inside [mmap_min_addr, mmap_max_addr)
interval.
2) While @[start|end]_code and @[start|end]_data may point to an nonexisting
VMAs (say a program maps own new .text and .data segments during execution)
the rest of members should belong to VMA which must exist.
3) Addresses must be ordered, ie @start_ member must not be greater or
equal to appropriate @end_ member.
4) As in regular Elf loading procedure we require that @start_brk and
@brk be greater than @end_data.
5) If RLIMIT_DATA rlimit is set to non-infinity new values should not
exceed existing limit. Same applies to RLIMIT_STACK.
6) Auxiliary vector size must not exceed existing one (which is
predefined as AT_VECTOR_SIZE and depends on architecture).
7) File descriptor passed in @exe_file should be pointing
to executable file (because we use existing prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked
helper it ensures that the file we are going to use as exe link has all
required permission granted).
Now about where these members are involved inside kernel code:
- @start_code and @end_code are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output;
- @start_data and @end_data are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output,
also they are considered if there enough space for brk() syscall
result if RLIMIT_DATA is set;
- @start_brk shown in /proc/$pid/stat output and accounted in brk()
syscall if RLIMIT_DATA is set; also this member is tested to
find a symbolic name of mmap event for perf system (we choose
if event is generated for "heap" area); one more aplication is
selinux -- we test if a process has PROCESS__EXECHEAP permission
if trying to make heap area being executable with mprotect() syscall;
- @brk is a current value for brk() syscall which lays inside heap
area, it's shown in /proc/$pid/stat. When syscall brk() succesfully
provides new memory area to a user space upon brk() completion the
mm::brk is updated to carry new value;
Both @start_brk and @brk are actively used in /proc/$pid/maps
and /proc/$pid/smaps output to find a symbolic name "heap" for
VMA being scanned;
- @start_stack is printed out in /proc/$pid/stat and used to
find a symbolic name "stack" for task and threads in
/proc/$pid/maps and /proc/$pid/smaps output, and as the same
as with @start_brk -- perf system uses it for event naming.
Also kernel treat this member as a start address of where
to map vDSO pages and to check if there is enough space
for shmat() syscall;
- @arg_start, @arg_end, @env_start and @env_end are printed out
in /proc/$pid/stat. Another access to the data these members
represent is to read /proc/$pid/environ or /proc/$pid/cmdline.
Any attempt to read these areas kernel tests with access_process_vm
helper so a user must have enough rights for this action;
- @auxv and @auxv_size may be read from /proc/$pid/auxv. Strictly
speaking kernel doesn't care much about which exactly data is
sitting there because it is solely for userspace;
- @exe_fd is referred from /proc/$pid/exe and when generating
coredump. We uses prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked helper to update
this member, so exe-file link modification remains one-shot
action.
Still note that updating exe-file link now doesn't require sys-resource
capability anymore, after all there is no much profit in preventing setup
own file link (there are a number of ways to execute own code -- ptrace,
ld-preload, so that the only reliable way to find which exactly code is
executed is to inspect running program memory). Still we require the
caller to be at least user-namespace root user.
I believe the old interface should be deprecated and ripped off in a
couple of kernel releases if no one against.
To test if new interface is implemented in the kernel one can pass
PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE opcode and the kernel returns the size of currently
supported struct prctl_mm_map.

mm, compaction: skip buddy pages by their order in the migrate scanner
The migration scanner skips PageBuddy pages, but does not consider their
order as checking page_order() is generally unsafe without holding the
zone->lock, and acquiring the lock just for the check wouldn't be a good
tradeoff.
Still, this could avoid some iterations over the rest of the buddy page,
and if we are careful, the race window between PageBuddy() check and
page_order() is small, and the worst thing that can happen is that we skip
too much and miss some isolation candidates. This is not that bad, as
compaction can already fail for many other reasons like parallel
allocations, and those have much larger race window.
This patch therefore makes the migration scanner obtain the buddy page
order and use it to skip the whole buddy page, if the order appears to be
in the valid range.
It's important that the page_order() is read only once, so that the value
used in the checks and in the pfn calculation is the same. But in theory
the compiler can replace the local variable by multiple inlines of
page_order(). Therefore, the patch introduces page_order_unsafe() that
uses ACCESS_ONCE to prevent this.
Testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests shows a 15% reduction in number
of pages scanned by migration scanner. The reduction is >60% with
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations, along with success rates better by few
percent.

mm, compaction: remember position within pageblock in free pages scanner
Unlike the migration scanner, the free scanner remembers the beginning of
the last scanned pageblock in cc->free_pfn. It might be therefore
rescanning pages uselessly when called several times during single
compaction. This might have been useful when pages were returned to the
buddy allocator after a failed migration, but this is no longer the case.
This patch changes the meaning of cc->free_pfn so that if it points to a
middle of a pageblock, that pageblock is scanned only from cc->free_pfn to
the end. isolate_freepages_block() will record the pfn of the last page
it looked at, which is then used to update cc->free_pfn.
In the mmtests stress-highalloc benchmark, this has resulted in lowering
the ratio between pages scanned by both scanners, from 2.5 free pages per
migrate page, to 2.25 free pages per migrate page, without affecting
success rates.
With __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations, this appears to result in a worse ratio
(2.1 instead of 1.8), but page migration successes increased by 10%, so
this could mean that more useful work can be done until need_resched()
aborts this kind of compaction.

mm, compaction: periodically drop lock and restore IRQs in scanners
Compaction scanners regularly check for lock contention and need_resched()
through the compact_checklock_irqsave() function. However, if there is no
contention, the lock can be held and IRQ disabled for potentially long
time.
This has been addressed by commit
b2eef8c0d091 ("mm: compaction: minimise
the time IRQs are disabled while isolating pages for migration") for the
migration scanner. However, the refactoring done by commit
2a1402aa044b
("mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lru_lock as late as possible") has
changed the conditions so that the lock is dropped only when there's
contention on the lock or need_resched() is true. Also, need_resched() is
checked only when the lock is already held. The comment "give a chance to
irqs before checking need_resched" is therefore misleading, as IRQs remain
disabled when the check is done.
This patch restores the behavior intended by commit
b2eef8c0d091 and also
tries to better balance and make more deterministic the time spent by
checking for contention vs the time the scanners might run between the
checks. It also avoids situations where checking has not been done often
enough before. The result should be avoiding both too frequent and too
infrequent contention checking, and especially the potentially
long-running scans with IRQs disabled and no checking of need_resched() or
for fatal signal pending, which can happen when many consecutive pages or
pageblocks fail the preliminary tests and do not reach the later call site
to compact_checklock_irqsave(), as explained below.
Before the patch:
In the migration scanner, compact_checklock_irqsave() was called each
loop, if reached. If not reached, some lower-frequency checking could
still be done if the lock was already held, but this would not result in
aborting contended async compaction until reaching
compact_checklock_irqsave() or end of pageblock. In the free scanner, it
was similar but completely without the periodical checking, so lock can be
potentially held until reaching the end of pageblock.
After the patch, in both scanners:
The periodical check is done as the first thing in the loop on each
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX aligned pfn, using the new compact_unlock_should_abort()
function, which always unlocks the lock (if locked) and aborts async
compaction if scheduling is needed. It also aborts any type of compaction
when a fatal signal is pending.
The compact_checklock_irqsave() function is replaced with a slightly
different compact_trylock_irqsave(). The biggest difference is that the
function is not called at all if the lock is already held. The periodical
need_resched() checking is left solely to compact_unlock_should_abort().
The lock contention avoidance for async compaction is achieved by the
periodical unlock by compact_unlock_should_abort() and by using trylock in
compact_trylock_irqsave() and aborting when trylock fails. Sync
compaction does not use trylock.

mm, compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()
Async compaction aborts when it detects zone lock contention or
need_resched() is true. David Rientjes has reported that in practice,
most direct async compactions for THP allocation abort due to
need_resched(). This means that a second direct compaction is never
attempted, which might be OK for a page fault, but khugepaged is intended
to attempt a sync compaction in such case and in these cases it won't.
This patch replaces "bool contended" in compact_control with an int that
distinguishes between aborting due to need_resched() and aborting due to
lock contention. This allows propagating the abort through all compaction
functions as before, but passing the abort reason up to
__alloc_pages_slowpath() which decides when to continue with direct
reclaim and another compaction attempt.
Another problem is that try_to_compact_pages() did not act upon the
reported contention (both need_resched() or lock contention) immediately
and would proceed with another zone from the zonelist. When
need_resched() is true, that means initializing another zone compaction,
only to check again need_resched() in isolate_migratepages() and aborting.
For zone lock contention, the unintended consequence is that the lock
contended status reported back to the allocator is detrmined from the last
zone where compaction was attempted, which is rather arbitrary.
This patch fixes the problem in the following way:
- async compaction of a zone aborting due to need_resched() or fatal signal
pending means that further zones should not be tried. We report
COMPACT_CONTENDED_SCHED to the allocator.
- aborting zone compaction due to lock contention means we can still try
another zone, since it has different set of locks. We report back
COMPACT_CONTENDED_LOCK only if *all* zones where compaction was attempted,
it was aborted due to lock contention.
As a result of these fixes, khugepaged will proceed with second sync
compaction as intended, when the preceding async compaction aborted due to
need_resched(). Page fault compactions aborting due to need_resched()
will spare some cycles previously wasted by initializing another zone
compaction only to abort again. Lock contention will be reported only
when compaction in all zones aborted due to lock contention, and therefore
it's not a good idea to try again after reclaim.
In stress-highalloc from mmtests configured to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, this
has improved number of THP collapse allocations by 10%, which shows
positive effect on khugepaged. The benchmark's success rates are
unchanged as it is not recognized as khugepaged. Numbers of compact_stall
and compact_fail events have however decreased by 20%, with
compact_success still a bit improved, which is good. With benchmark
configured not to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, there is 6% improvement in THP
collapse allocations, and only slight improvement in stalls and failures.

mm, compaction: reduce zone checking frequency in the migration scanner
The unification of the migrate and free scanner families of function has
highlighted a difference in how the scanners ensure they only isolate
pages of the intended zone. This is important for taking zone lock or lru
lock of the correct zone. Due to nodes overlapping, it is however
possible to encounter a different zone within the range of the zone being
compacted.
The free scanner, since its inception by commit
748446bb6b5a ("mm:
compaction: memory compaction core"), has been checking the zone of the
first valid page in a pageblock, and skipping the whole pageblock if the
zone does not match.
This checking was completely missing from the migration scanner at first,
and later added by commit
dc9086004b3d ("mm: compaction: check for
overlapping nodes during isolation for migration") in a reaction to a bug
report. But the zone comparison in migration scanner is done once per a
single scanned page, which is more defensive and thus more costly than a
check per pageblock.
This patch unifies the checking done in both scanners to once per
pageblock, through a new pageblock_pfn_to_page() function, which also
includes pfn_valid() checks. It is more defensive than the current free
scanner checks, as it checks both the first and last page of the
pageblock, but less defensive by the migration scanner per-page checks.
It assumes that node overlapping may result (on some architecture) in a
boundary between two nodes falling into the middle of a pageblock, but
that there cannot be a node0 node1 node0 interleaving within a single
pageblock.
The result is more code being shared and a bit less per-page CPU cost in
the migration scanner.

mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range()
isolate_migratepages_range() is the main function of the compaction
scanner, called either on a single pageblock by isolate_migratepages()
during regular compaction, or on an arbitrary range by CMA's
__alloc_contig_migrate_range(). It currently perfoms two pageblock-wide
compaction suitability checks, and because of the CMA callpath, it tracks
if it crossed a pageblock boundary in order to repeat those checks.
However, closer inspection shows that those checks are always true for CMA:
- isolation_suitable() is true because CMA sets cc->ignore_skip_hint to true
- migrate_async_suitable() check is skipped because CMA uses sync compaction
We can therefore move the compaction-specific checks to
isolate_migratepages() and simplify isolate_migratepages_range().
Furthermore, we can mimic the freepage scanner family of functions, which
has isolate_freepages_block() function called both by compaction from
isolate_freepages() and by CMA from isolate_freepages_range(), where each
use-case adds own specific glue code. This allows further code
simplification.
Thus, we rename isolate_migratepages_range() to
isolate_migratepages_block() and limit its functionality to a single
pageblock (or its subset). For CMA, a new different
isolate_migratepages_range() is created as a CMA-specific wrapper for the
_block() function. The checks specific to compaction are moved to
isolate_migratepages(). As part of the unification of these two families
of functions, we remove the redundant zone parameter where applicable,
since zone pointer is already passed in cc->zone.
Furthermore, going back to compact_zone() and compact_finished() when
pageblock is found unsuitable (now by isolate_migratepages()) is wasteful
- the checks are meant to skip pageblocks quickly. The patch therefore
also introduces a simple loop into isolate_migratepages() so that it does
not return immediately on failed pageblock checks, but keeps going until
isolate_migratepages_range() gets called once. Similarily to
isolate_freepages(), the function periodically checks if it needs to
reschedule or abort async compaction.

mm, compaction: defer each zone individually instead of preferred zone
When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred
for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async.
Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further
unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period.
Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on
the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction. But
compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so
the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1)
compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite
good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below:
1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set
deferred compaction for the Normal zone. Another unrelated direct
compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32
zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone.
In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to
compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not
defer compaction. In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which
will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32
directly.
2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on
watermarks looking good. A direct compaction with preferred Normal
zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal
was still deferred. The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but
won't.
This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis
instead of preferred zone. For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred()
to decide if the zone should be skipped. If watermarks fail after
compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called. The zone where
watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is
unsuccessful. When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is
called for the zone containing the allocated page. This approach should
approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was
attempted and did not yield allocated page. There might be corner cases
but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not
guarantee that a page will be allocated.
Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying
implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made
more accurate. The did_some_progress output parameter of
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller
actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered
when direct reclaim sets it.
During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone
on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc
mmtests benchmark. The success here were previously made worse by commit
3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking
kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred
compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus
not considered for compaction. On different machine, success rates were
improved with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations.

It also deletes an outdated comment that assumed vma must be stable, as it
was using alloc_hugepage_vma(). This is no longer true since commit

block_dev: implement readpages() to optimize sequential read
Sequential read from a block device is expected to be equal or faster than
from the file on a filesystem. But it is not correct due to the lack of
effective readpages() in the address space operations for block device.
This implements readpages() operation for block device by using
mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each
page and reduce system CPU time consumption.
Install 1GB of RAM disk storage:
# modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1024 delay=0
Sequential read from file on a filesystem:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/$DEV
# mount /dev/$DEV /mnt
# fio --name=t --size=512m --rw=read --filename=/mnt/file
...

mm: cma: adjust address limit to avoid hitting low/high memory boundary
Russell King recently noticed that limiting default CMA region only to low
memory on ARM architecture causes serious memory management issues with
machines having a lot of memory (which is mainly available as high
memory). More information can be found the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/348441/
Those two patches removes this limit letting kernel to put default CMA
region into high memory when this is possible (there is enough high memory
available and architecture specific DMA limit fits).
This should solve strange OOM issues on systems with lots of RAM (i.e.
>1GiB) and large (>256M) CMA area.
This patch (of 2):
Automatically allocated regions should not cross low/high memory boundary,
because such regions cannot be later correctly initialized due to spanning
across two memory zones. This patch adds a check for this case and a
simple code for moving region to low memory if automatically selected
address might not fit completely into high memory.

As part of this, the arm APIs are now migrated away from
ioremap_page_range to the common APIs which use map_vm_area for remapping.
This should be an equivalent change and using map_vm_area is more correct

mm: remove misleading ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE
ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented
_PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE. This saved using an additional PTE bit and
relied on the fact that PROT_NONE vmas were skipped by the NUMA hinting
fault scanner. This was found to be conceptually confusing with a lot of
implicit assumptions and it was asked that an alternative be found.
Commit
c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the
PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap PTE
bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far
enough. There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA
but the relics still exist.
This patch removes ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE and removes some unnecessary
duplication in powerpc vs the generic implementation by defining the types
the core NUMA helpers expected to exist from x86 with their ppc64
equivalent. This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that
identified the bits that distinguish present from NUMA pte entries but it
is expected this will only differ between arches based on _PAGE_PROTNONE.
The naming for the generic helpers was taken from x86 originally but ppc64
has types that are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are
mapped instead of duplicating code.

mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache
Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really
complicated. We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the
kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation
through SLAB is impossible.
On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way. It uses
percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg
problem.
So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB. This simplifies the
initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more
easily.
In my testing there is no performance difference.
This implementation relies on percpu allocator. Because percpu allocator
uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by
this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel. This implementation
can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation.
Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches *
120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB
Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) *
