2018-04-11mm/ksm.c: fix inconsistent accounting of zero pagesClaudio Imbrenda
When using KSM with use_zero_pages, we replace anonymous pages containing only zeroes with actual zero pages, which are not anonymous. We need to do proper accounting of the mm counters, otherwise we will get wrong values in /proc and a BUG message in dmesg when tearing down the mm.

2018-04-11memcg, thp: do not invoke oom killer on thp chargesMichal Hocko
A THP memcg charge can trigger the oom killer since 2516035499b9 ("mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations"). We have used an explicit __GFP_NORETRY previously which ruled the OOM killer automagically. Memcg charge path should be semantically compliant with the allocation path and that means that if we do not trigger the OOM killer for costly orders which should do the same in the memcg charge path as well. Otherwise we are forcing callers to distinguish the two and use different gfp masks which is both non-intuitive and bug prone. As soon as we get a costly high order kmalloc user we even do not have any means to tell the memcg specific gfp mask to prevent from OOM because the charging is deep within guts of the slab allocator. The unexpected memcg OOM on THP has already been fixed upstream by 9d3c3354bb85 ("mm, thp: do not cause memcg oom for thp") but this is a one-off fix rather than a generic solution. Teach mem_cgroup_oom to bail out on costly order requests to fix the THP issue as well as any other costly OOM eligible allocations to be added in future. Also revert 9d3c3354bb85 because special gfp for THP is no longer needed.

2018-04-11mm/migrate: properly preserve write attribute in special migrate entryRalph Campbell
Use of pte_write(pte) is only valid for present pte, the common code which set the migration entry can be reach for both valid present pte and special swap entry (for device memory). Fix the code to use the mpfn value which properly handle both cases. On x86 this did not have any bad side effect because pte write bit is below PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL and thus special swap entry have it set to 0 which in turn means we were always creating read only special migration entry. So once migration did finish we always write protected the CPU page table entry (moreover this is only an issue when migrating from device memory to system memory). End effect is that CPU write access would fault again and restore write permission. This behaviour isn't too bad; it just burns CPU cycles by forcing CPU to take a second fault on write access. ie, double faulting the same address. There is no corruption or incorrect states (it behaves as a COWed page from a fork with a mapcount of 1).

2018-04-11sched/numa: avoid trapping faults and attempting migration of file-backed ↵Mel Gorman
dirty pages change_pte_range is called from task work context to mark PTEs for receiving NUMA faulting hints. If the marked pages are dirty then migration may fail. Some filesystems cannot migrate dirty pages without blocking so are skipped in MIGRATE_ASYNC mode which just wastes CPU. Even when they can, it can be a waste of cycles when the pages are shared forcing higher scan rates. This patch avoids marking shared dirty pages for hinting faults but also will skip a migration if the page was dirtied after the scanner updated a clean page. This is most noticeable running the NASA Parallel Benchmark when backed by btrfs, the default root filesystem for some distributions, but also noticeable when using XFS. The following are results from a 4-socket machine running a 4.16-rc4 kernel with some scheduler patches that are pending for the next merge window. 4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4 schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1 Time cg.D 459.07 ( 0.00%) 444.21 ( 3.24%) Time ep.D 76.96 ( 0.00%) 77.69 ( -0.95%) Time is.D 25.55 ( 0.00%) 27.85 ( -9.00%) Time lu.D 601.58 ( 0.00%) 596.87 ( 0.78%) Time mg.D 107.73 ( 0.00%) 108.22 ( -0.45%) is.D regresses slightly in terms of absolute time but note that that particular load varies quite a bit from run to run. The more relevant observation is the total system CPU usage. 4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4 schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1 User 71471.91 70627.04 System 11078.96 8256.13 Elapsed 661.66 632.74 That is a substantial drop in system CPU usage and overall the workload completes faster. The NUMA balancing statistics are also interesting NUMA base PTE updates 111407972 139848884 NUMA huge PMD updates 206506 264869 NUMA page range updates 217139044 275461812 NUMA hint faults 4300924 3719784 NUMA hint local faults 3012539 3416618 NUMA hint local percent 70 91 NUMA pages migrated 1517487 1358420 While more PTEs are scanned due to changes in what faults are gathered, it's clear that a far higher percentage of faults are local as the bulk of the remote hits were dirty pages that, in this case with btrfs, had no chance of migrating. The following is a comparison when using XFS as that is a more realistic filesystem choice for a data partition 4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4 schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1r47 Time cg.D 485.28 ( 0.00%) 442.62 ( 8.79%) Time ep.D 77.68 ( 0.00%) 77.54 ( 0.18%) Time is.D 26.44 ( 0.00%) 24.79 ( 6.24%) Time lu.D 597.46 ( 0.00%) 597.11 ( 0.06%) Time mg.D 142.65 ( 0.00%) 105.83 ( 25.81%) That is a reasonable gain on two relatively long-lived workloads. While not presented, there is also a substantial drop in system CPu usage and the NUMA balancing stats show similar improvements in locality as btrfs did.

2018-04-11mm/hmm.c: remove superfluous RCU protection around radix tree lookupTejun Heo
hmm_devmem_find() requires rcu_read_lock_held() but there's nothing which actually uses the RCU protection. The only caller is hmm_devmem_pages_create() which already grabs the mutex and does superfluous rcu_read_lock/unlock() around the function. This doesn't add anything and just adds to confusion. Remove the RCU protection and open-code the radix tree lookup. If this needs to become more sophisticated in the future, let's add them back when necessary.

2018-04-11mm/hmm: change hmm_vma_fault() to allow write fault on page basisJérôme Glisse
This changes hmm_vma_fault() to not take a global write fault flag for a range but instead rely on caller to populate HMM pfns array with proper fault flag ie HMM_PFN_VALID if driver want read fault for that address or HMM_PFN_VALID and HMM_PFN_WRITE for write. Moreover by setting HMM_PFN_DEVICE_PRIVATE the device driver can ask for device private memory to be migrated back to system memory through page fault. This is more flexible API and it better reflects how device handles and reports fault.

2018-04-11mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace eventSteven Rostedt
The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12 parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure. This structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c. By moving it to the global vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints. In moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments to the trace event. In the future, we may limit the number of arguments that a trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it may be 8).

2018-04-11mm/vmscan: don't mess with pgdat->flags in memcg reclaimAndrey Ryabinin
memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in cgroup and its children. PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem pages. But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested(). Note that only kswapd have powers to clear any of these bits. This might just never happen if cgroup limits configured that way. So all direct reclaims will stall as long as we have some congested bdi in the system. Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd. kswapd scans the whole pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd. Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags. I'm less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and more worried about the case when it falsely set. If direct reclaimer sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It seems like there is no such guarantee. E.g. direct reclaimers may eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see wakeup_kswapd()). Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim now loses its congestion throttling mechanism. Add per-cgroup congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in congestion state. Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY bits since they alter only kswapd behavior. The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in one cgroup: echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs /* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */ while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done & .... while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done & and some job in another cgroup: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max # time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null real 10m15.054s user 0m0.487s sys 1m8.505s According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50% of the time sleeping there. With the patch, cat don't waste time anymore: # time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null real 5m32.911s user 0m0.411s sys 0m56.664s [aryabinin@virtuozzo.com: congestion state should be per-node] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180406135215.10057-1-aryabinin@virtuozzo.com [ayabinin@virtuozzo.com: make congestion state per-cgroup-per-node instead of just per-cgroup[ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180406180254.8970-2-aryabinin@virtuozzo.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180323152029.11084-5-aryabinin@virtuozzo.com Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-04-11mm/vmscan: don't change pgdat state on base of a single LRU list stateAndrey Ryabinin
We have separate LRU list for each memory cgroup. Memory reclaim iterates over cgroups and calls shrink_inactive_list() every inactive LRU list. Based on the state of a single LRU shrink_inactive_list() may flag the whole node as dirty,congested or under writeback. This is obviously wrong and hurtful. It's especially hurtful when we have possibly small congested cgroup in system. Than *all* direct reclaims waste time by sleeping in wait_iff_congested(). And the more memcgs in the system we have the longer memory allocation stall is, because wait_iff_congested() called on each lru-list scan. Sum reclaim stats across all visited LRUs on node and flag node as dirty, congested or under writeback based on that sum. Also call congestion_wait(), wait_iff_congested() once per pgdat scan, instead of once per lru-list scan. This only fixes the problem for global reclaim case. Per-cgroup reclaim may alter global pgdat flags too, which is wrong. But that is separate issue and will be addressed in the next patch. This change will not have any effect on a systems with all workload concentrated in a single cgroup.

2018-04-11mm: treat indirectly reclaimable memory as free in overcommit logicRoman Gushchin
Indirectly reclaimable memory can consume a significant part of total memory and it's actually reclaimable (it will be released under actual memory pressure). So, the overcommit logic should treat it as free. Otherwise, it's possible to cause random system-wide memory allocation failures by consuming a significant amount of memory by indirectly reclaimable memory, e.g. dentry external names. If overcommit policy GUESS is used, it might be used for denial of service attack under some conditions. The following program illustrates the approach. It causes the kernel to allocate an unreclaimable kmalloc-256 chunk for each stat() call, so that at some point the overcommit logic may start blocking large allocation system-wide. int main() { char buf[256]; unsigned long i; struct stat statbuf; buf[0] = '/'; for (i = 1; i < sizeof(buf); i++) buf[i] = '_'; for (i = 0; 1; i++) { sprintf(&buf[248], "%8lu", i); stat(buf, &statbuf); } return 0; } This patch in combination with related indirectly reclaimable memory patches closes this issue.

2018-04-11mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTESRoman Gushchin
Patch series "indirectly reclaimable memory", v2. This patchset introduces the concept of indirectly reclaimable memory and applies it to fix the issue of when a big number of dentries with external names can significantly affect the MemAvailable value. This patch (of 3): Introduce a concept of indirectly reclaimable memory and adds the corresponding memory counter and /proc/vmstat item. Indirectly reclaimable memory is any sort of memory, used by the kernel (except of reclaimable slabs), which is actually reclaimable, i.e. will be released under memory pressure. The counter is in bytes, as it's not always possible to count such objects in pages. The name contains BYTES by analogy to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB.

2018-04-05mm/ksm: fix interaction with THPClaudio Imbrenda
This patch fixes a corner case for KSM. When two pages belong or belonged to the same transparent hugepage, and they should be merged, KSM fails to split the page, and therefore no merging happens. This bug can be reproduced by: * making sure ksm is running (in case disabling ksmtuned) * enabling transparent hugepages * allocating a THP-aligned 1-THP-sized buffer e.g. on amd64: posix_memalign(&p, 1<<21, 1<<21) * filling it with the same values e.g. memset(p, 42, 1<<21) * performing madvise to make it mergeable e.g. madvise(p, 1<<21, MADV_MERGEABLE) * waiting for KSM to perform a few scans The expected outcome is that the all the pages get merged (1 shared and the rest sharing); the actual outcome is that no pages get merged (1 unshared and the rest volatile) The reason of this behaviour is that we increase the reference count once for both pages we want to merge, but if they belong to the same hugepage (or compound page), the reference counter used in both cases is the one of the head of the compound page. This means that split_huge_page will find a value of the reference counter too high and will fail. This patch solves this problem by testing if the two pages to merge belong to the same hugepage when attempting to merge them. If so, the hugepage is split safely. This means that the hugepage is not split if not necessary.

2018-04-05mm/page_isolation.c: make start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolatedMike Kravetz
start_isolate_page_range() is used to set the migrate type of a set of pageblocks to MIGRATE_ISOLATE while attempting to start a migration operation. It assumes that only one thread is calling it for the specified range. This routine is used by CMA, memory hotplug and gigantic huge pages. Each of these users synchronize access to the range within their subsystem. However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range. If this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing. This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation. What is ideally needed is a way to synchronize access to a set of pageblocks that are undergoing isolation and migration. The only thing we know about these pageblocks is that they are all in the same zone. A per-node mutex is too coarse as we want to allow multiple operations on different ranges within the same zone concurrently. Instead, we will use the migration type of the pageblocks themselves as a form of synchronization. start_isolate_page_range sets the migration type on a set of page- blocks going in order from the one associated with the smallest pfn to the largest pfn. The zone lock is acquired to check and set the migration type. When going through the list of pageblocks check if MIGRATE_ISOLATE is already set. If so, this indicates another thread is working on this pageblock. We know exactly which pageblocks we set, so clean up by undo those and return -EBUSY. This allows start_isolate_page_range to serve as a synchronization mechanism and will allow for more general use of callers making use of these interfaces. Update comments in alloc_contig_range to reflect this new functionality. Each CPU holds the associated zone lock to modify or examine the migration type of a pageblock. And, it will only examine/update a single pageblock per lock acquire/release cycle.

2018-04-05mm, oom: remove 3% bonus for CAP_SYS_ADMIN processesDavid Rientjes
Since the 2.6 kernel, the oom killer has slightly biased away from CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes by discounting some of its memory usage in comparison to other processes. This has always been implicit and nothing exactly relies on the behavior. Gaurav notices that __task_cred() can dereference a potentially freed pointer if the task under consideration is exiting because a reference to the task_struct is not held. Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN bias so that all processes are treated equally. If any CAP_SYS_ADMIN process would like to be biased against, it is always allowed to adjust /proc/pid/oom_score_adj.

2018-04-05mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memoryDavid Rientjes
Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed. This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high- order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up. When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

2018-04-05zsmalloc: introduce zs_huge_class_size()Sergey Senozhatsky
Patch series "zsmalloc/zram: drop zram's max_zpage_size", v3. ZRAM's max_zpage_size is a bad thing. It forces zsmalloc to store normal objects as huge ones, which results in bigger zsmalloc memory usage. Drop it and use actual zsmalloc huge-class value when decide if the object is huge or not. This patch (of 2): Not every object can be share its zspage with other objects, e.g. when the object is as big as zspage or nearly as big a zspage. For such objects zsmalloc has a so called huge class - every object which belongs to huge class consumes the entire zspage (which consists of a physical page). On x86_64, PAGE_SHIFT 12 box, the first non-huge class size is 3264, so starting down from size 3264, objects can share page(-s) and thus minimize memory wastage. ZRAM, however, has its own statically defined watermark for huge objects, namely "3 * PAGE_SIZE / 4 = 3072", and forcibly stores every object larger than this watermark (3072) as a PAGE_SIZE object, in other words, to a huge class, while zsmalloc can keep some of those objects in non-huge classes. This results in increased memory consumption. zsmalloc knows better if the object is huge or not. Introduce zs_huge_class_size() function which tells if the given object can be stored in one of non-huge classes or not. This will let us to drop ZRAM's huge object watermark and fully rely on zsmalloc when we decide if the object is huge.

2018-04-05mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcacheHuang Ying
Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap device will be freed. So page_mapping() users which may touch the address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space from being freed during accessing. The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function. But in some cases there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff, for example, CPU1 CPU2 __get_user_pages() swapoff() flush_dcache_page() mapping = page_mapping() ... exit_swap_address_space() ... kvfree(spaces) mapping_mapped(mapping) The address space may be accessed after being freed. But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be used. The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures follows this too. They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the dcache immediately. And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap) to find all user space mappings. While mapping_mapped() and mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all. So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping() is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL otherwise. All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are replaced with page_mapping_file().

2018-04-05mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->pagesize() to vm_operations_structDan Williams
When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like hugetlbfs and report the MMU page mapping size that is being enforced by the vma. Similar to commit 31383c6865a5 "mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct" it would be messy to teach vma_mmu_pagesize() about device-dax page mapping sizes in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this attribute. Instead, these patches introduce a new ->pagesize() vm operation.

2018-04-05mm, powerpc: use vma_kernel_pagesize() in vma_mmu_pagesize()Dan Williams
Patch series "mm, smaps: MMUPageSize for device-dax", v3. Similar to commit 31383c6865a5 ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct") here is another occasion where we want special-case hugetlbfs/hstate enabling to also apply to device-dax. This prompts the question what other hstate conversions we might do beyond ->split() and ->pagesize(), but this appears to be the last of the usages of hstate_vma() in generic/non-hugetlbfs specific code paths. This patch (of 3): The current powerpc definition of vma_mmu_pagesize() open codes looking up the page size via hstate. It is identical to the generic vma_kernel_pagesize() implementation. Now, vma_kernel_pagesize() is growing support for determining the page size of Device-DAX vmas in addition to the existing Hugetlbfs page size determination. Ideally, if the powerpc vma_mmu_pagesize() used vma_kernel_pagesize() it would automatically benefit from any new vma-type support that is added to vma_kernel_pagesize(). However, the powerpc vma_mmu_pagesize() is prevented from calling vma_kernel_pagesize() due to a circular header dependency that requires vma_mmu_pagesize() to be defined before including <linux/hugetlb.h>. Break this circular dependency by defining the default vma_mmu_pagesize() as a __weak symbol to be overridden by the powerpc version.

2018-04-05mm/free_pcppages_bulk: prefetch buddy while not holding lockAaron Lu
When a page is freed back to the global pool, its buddy will be checked to see if it's possible to do a merge. This requires accessing buddy's page structure and that access could take a long time if it's cache cold. This patch adds a prefetch to the to-be-freed page's buddy outside of zone->lock in hope of accessing buddy's page structure later under zone->lock will be faster. Since we *always* do buddy merging and check an order-0 page's buddy to try to merge it when it goes into the main allocator, the cacheline will always come in, i.e. the prefetched data will never be unused. Normally, the number of prefetch will be pcp->batch(default=31 and has an upper limit of (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)=96 on x86_64) but in the case of pcp's pages get all drained, it will be pcp->count which has an upper limit of pcp->high. pcp->high, although has a default value of 186 (pcp->batch=31 * 6), can be changed by user through /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction and there is no software upper limit so could be large, like several thousand. For this reason, only the first pcp->batch number of page's buddy structure is prefetched to avoid excessive prefetching. In the meantime, there are two concerns: 1. the prefetch could potentially evict existing cachelines, especially for L1D cache since it is not huge 2. there is some additional instruction overhead, namely calculating buddy pfn twice For 1, it's hard to say, this microbenchmark though shows good result but the actual benefit of this patch will be workload/CPU dependant; For 2, since the calculation is a XOR on two local variables, it's expected in many cases that cycles spent will be offset by reduced memory latency later. This is especially true for NUMA machines where multiple CPUs are contending on zone->lock and the most time consuming part under zone->lock is the wait of 'struct page' cacheline of the to-be-freed pages and their buddies.

While there is actually no need to do this 'choose part' under lock since it's PCP pages, the only CPU that can touch them is us and irq is also disabled.

2018-04-05mm/free_pcppages_bulk: update pcp->count insideAaron Lu

No functionality or performance change is expected from this patch.
