1) I_FREEING tests should be coupled with I_CLEAR
The two I_FREEING tests are racy because clear_inode() can set i_state to
I_CLEAR between the clear of I_SYNC and the test of I_FREEING.
2) skip I_WILL_FREE inodes in generic_sync_sb_inodes() to avoid possible
races with generic_forget_inode()
generic_forget_inode() sets I_WILL_FREE call writeback on its own, so
generic_sync_sb_inodes() shall not try to step in and create possible races:
generic_forget_inode
inode->i_state |= I_WILL_FREE;
spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
generic_sync_sb_inodes()
spin_lock(&inode_lock);
__iget(inode);
__writeback_single_inode
// see non zero i_count
may WARN here ==> WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE);
spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
may call generic_forget_inode again ==> iput(inode);
The above race and warning didn't turn up because writeback_inodes() holds
the s_umount lock, so generic_forget_inode() finds MS_ACTIVE and returns
early. But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will
guarantee that. So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.

When a task is chosen for oom kill and is found to be PF_EXITING,
__oom_kill_task() is called to elevate the task's timeslice and give it
access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit.
This privilege is unnecessary, however, if the task has already detached
its mm. Although its possible for the mm to become detached later since
task_lock() is not held, __oom_kill_task() will simply be a no-op in such
circumstances.
Subsequently, it is no longer necessary to warn about killing mm-less
tasks since it is a no-op.

Commit 2e2e425989080cc534fc0fca154cae515f971cf5 ("vmscan,memcg:
reintroduce sc->may_swap) add may_swap flag and handle it at
get_scan_ratio().
But the result of get_scan_ratio() is ignored when priority == 0, so anon
lru is scanned even if may_swap == 0 or nr_swap_pages == 0. IMHO, this is
not an expected behavior.
As for memcg especially, because of this behavior many and many pages are
swapped-out just in vain when oom is invoked by mem+swap limit.
This patch is for handling may_swap flag more strictly.

The "move pages to active list" and "move pages to inactive list" code
blocks are mostly identical and can be served by a function.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out.
Note that buffer_heads_over_limit check will also be carried out for
re-activated pages, which is slightly different from pre-2.6.28 kernels.
Also, Rik's "vmscan: evict use-once pages first" patch could totally stop
scans of active file list when memory pressure is low. So the net effect
could be, the number of buffer heads is now more likely to grow large.
However that's fine according to Johannes' comments:
I don't think that this could be harmful. We just preserve the buffer
mappings of what we consider the working set and with low memory
pressure, as you say, this set is not big.
As to stripping of reactivated pages: the only pages we re-activate
for now are those VM_EXEC mapped ones. Since we don't expect IO from
or to these pages, removing the buffer mappings in case they grow too
large should be okay, I guess.

Protect referenced PROT_EXEC mapped pages from being deactivated.
PROT_EXEC(or its internal presentation VM_EXEC) pages normally belong to some
currently running executables and their linked libraries, they shall really be
cached aggressively to provide good user experiences.
Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the advice to reuse the VMA walk in
page_referenced() to get the PROT_EXEC bit.
[more details]
( The consequences of this patch will have to be discussed together with
Rik van Riel's recent patch "vmscan: evict use-once pages first". )
( Some of the good points and insights are taken into this changelog.
Thanks to all the involved people for the great LKML discussions. )
the problem
===========
For a typical desktop, the most precious working set is composed of
*actively accessed*
(1) memory mapped executables
(2) and their anonymous pages
(3) and other files
(4) and the dcache/icache/.. slabs
while the least important data are
(5) infrequently used or use-once files
For a typical desktop, one major problem is busty and large amount of (5)
use-once files flushing out the working set.
Inside the working set, (4) dcache/icache have already been too sticky ;-)
So we only have to care (2) anonymous and (1)(3) file pages.
anonymous pages
===============
Anonymous pages are effectively immune to the streaming IO attack, because we
now have separate file/anon LRU lists. When the use-once files crowd into the
file LRU, the list's "quality" is significantly lowered. Therefore the scan
balance policy in get_scan_ratio() will choose to scan the (low quality) file
LRU much more frequently than the anon LRU.
file pages
==========
Rik proposed to *not* scan the active file LRU when the inactive list grows
larger than active list. This guarantees that when there are use-once streaming
IO, and the working set is not too large(so that active_size < inactive_size),
the active file LRU will *not* be scanned at all. So the not-too-large working
set can be well protected.
But there are also situations where the file working set is a bit large so that
(active_size >= inactive_size), or the streaming IOs are not purely use-once.
In these cases, the active list will be scanned slowly. Because the current
shrink_active_list() policy is to deactivate active pages regardless of their
referenced bits. The deactivated pages become susceptible to the streaming IO
attack: the inactive list could be scanned fast (500MB / 50MBps = 10s) so that
the deactivated pages don't have enough time to get re-referenced. Because a
user tend to switch between windows in intervals from seconds to minutes.
This patch holds mapped executable pages in the active list as long as they
are referenced during each full scan of the active list. Because the active
list is normally scanned much slower, they get longer grace time (eg. 100s)
for further references, which better matches the pace of user operations.
Therefore this patch greatly prolongs the in-cache time of executable code,
when there are moderate memory pressures.
before patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I
after patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I+A
(except when randomly reclaimed by the lumpy reclaim)
where
A = time to fully scan the active file LRU
I = time to fully scan the inactive file LRU
Note that normally A >> I.
side effects
============
This patch is safe in general, it restores the pre-2.6.28 mmap() behavior
but in a much smaller and well targeted scope.
One may worry about some one to abuse the PROT_EXEC heuristic. But as
Andrew Morton stated, there are other tricks to getting that sort of boost.
Another concern is the PROT_EXEC mapped pages growing large in rare cases,
and therefore hurting reclaim efficiency. But a sane application targeted for
large audience will never use PROT_EXEC for data mappings. If some home made
application tries to abuse that bit, it shall be aware of the consequences.
If it is abused to scale of 2/3 total memory, it gains nothing but overheads.
benchmarks
==========
1) memory tight desktop
1.1) brief summary
- clock time and major faults are reduced by 50%;
- pswpin numbers are reduced to ~1/3.
That means X desktop responsiveness is doubled under high memory/swap pressure.
1.2) test scenario
- nfsroot gnome desktop with 512M physical memory
- run some programs, and switch between the existing windows
after starting each new program.

2) memory flushing in a file server
2.1) brief summary
The number of major faults from 50 to 3 during 10% cache hot reads.
That means this patch successfully stops major faults when the active file
list is slowly scanned when there are partially cache hot streaming IO.
2.2) test scenario
Do 100000 pread(size=110 pages, offset=(i*100) pages), where 10% of the
pages will be activated:
for i in `seq 0 100 10000000`; do echo $i 110; done > pattern-hot-10
iotrace.rb --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse
vmmon nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree
and monitor /proc/vmstat during the time. The test box has 2G memory.
I carried out tests on fresh booted console as well as X desktop, and
fetched the vmstat numbers on
(1) begin: shortly after the big read IO starts;
(2) end: just before the big read IO stops;
(3) restore: the big read IO stops and the zsh working set restored
(4) restore X: after IO, switch back and forth between the urxvt and firefox
windows to restore their working set.
2.3) console mode results
nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree
2.6.29 VM_EXEC protection ON:
begin: 2481 2237 8694 630 0 574299
end: 275 231976 233914 633 776271 20933042
restore: 370 232154 234524 691 777183 20958453
2.6.29 VM_EXEC protection ON (second run):
begin: 2434 2237 8493 629 0 574195
end: 284 231970 233536 632 771918 20896129
restore: 399 232218 234789 690 774526 20957909
2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF:
begin: 2479 2344 9659 210 0 579643
end: 284 232010 234142 260 772776 20917184
restore: 379 232159 234371 301 774888 20967849
The above console numbers show that
- The startup pgmajfault of 2.6.30-rc4-mm is merely 1/3 that of 2.6.29.
I'd attribute that improvement to the mmap readahead improvements :-)
- The pgmajfault increment during the file copy is 633-630=3 vs 260-210=50.
That's a huge improvement - which means with the VM_EXEC protection logic,
active mmap pages is pretty safe even under partially cache hot streaming IO.
- when active:inactive file lru size reaches 1:1, their scan rates is 1:20.8
under 10% cache hot IO. (computed with formula Dpgdeactivate:Dpgfree)
That roughly means the active mmap pages get 20.8 more chances to get
re-referenced to stay in memory.
- The absolute nr_mapped drops considerably to 1/9 during the big IO, and the
dropped pages are mostly inactive ones. The patch has almost no impact in
this aspect, that means it won't unnecessarily increase memory pressure.
(In contrast, your 20% mmap protection ratio will keep them all, and
therefore eliminate the extra 41 major faults to restore working set
of zsh etc.)
The iotrace.rb read throughput is
151.194384MB/s 284.198252s 100001x 450560b --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse
which means the inactive list is rotated at the speed of 250MB/s,
so a full scan of which takes about 3.5 seconds, while a full scan
of active file list takes about 77 seconds.
2.4) X mode results
We can reach roughly the same conclusions for X desktop:
nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree
2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection ON:
begin: 9740 8920 64075 561 0 678360
end: 768 218254 220029 565 798953 21057006
restore: 857 218543 220987 606 799462 21075710
restore X: 2414 218560 225344 797 799462 21080795
2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF:
begin: 9368 5035 26389 554 0 633391
end: 770 218449 221230 661 646472 17832500
restore: 1113 218466 220978 710 649881 17905235
restore X: 2687 218650 225484 947 802700 21083584
- the absolute nr_mapped drops considerably (to 1/13 of the original size)
during the streaming IO.
- the delta of pgmajfault is 3 vs 107 during IO, or 236 vs 393
during the whole process.

Collect vma->vm_flags of the VMAs that actually referenced the page.
This is preparing for more informed reclaim heuristics, eg. to protect
executable file pages more aggressively. For now only the VM_EXEC bit
will be used by the caller.

reports
The page allocation failure messages include a line that looks like
page allocation failure. order:1, mode:0x4020
The mode is easy to translate but irritating for the lazy and a bit error
prone. This patch adds a very simple helper script gfp-translate for the
mode: portion of the page allocation failure messages. An example usage
looks like
mel@machina:~/linux-2.6 $ scripts/gfp-translate 0x4020
Source: /home/mel/linux-2.6
Parsing: 0x4020
#define __GFP_HIGH (0x20) /* Should access emergency pools? */
#define __GFP_COMP (0x4000) /* Add compound page metadata */
The script is not a work of art but it has come in handy for me a few
times so I thought I would share.

code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes. These nodes therefore seem to be
active although these nodes have no present pages.
For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too

This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is
only necessary to hold task_lock() once. If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the
score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score.
This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from
being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future
memory freeing anyway.
Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is
no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the
same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other
thread groups).

The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the
task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the
mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be
freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have
needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory
freeing.
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a
task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already
necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM
size for the badness heuristic.
This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread
sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs
because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the
chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same
task during the next retry.
Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in
oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be
removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be
necessary.
Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since
these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an
oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

Presently we can know a swap entry is just used as SwapCache via swap_map,
without looking up swap cache.
Then, we have a chance to reuse swap-cache-only swap entries in
get_swap_pages().
This patch tries to free swap-cache-only swap entries if swap is not
enough.
Note: We hit following path when swap_cluster code cannot find a free
cluster. Then, vm_swap_full() is not only condition to allow the kernel
to reclaim unused swap.

This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak.
But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg.
There are 2 kinds of references to swap.
- reference from swap entry
- reference from swap cache
Then,
- If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache.
(*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL
This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering
that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[],
current usage of counter is not very good.
This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap
entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c
and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

In a following patch, the usage of swap cache is recorded into swap_map.
This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that.
2 interfaces:
- swapcache_prepare()
- swapcache_free()
are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap
entries. But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At
adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under
swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

Solve two problems.
Whenever memory hotplug sucessfully happens, zone->present_pages
have to be changed.
1) Now memory hotplug calls setup_per_zone_wmark_min only when
online_pages called, not offline_pages.
It breaks balance.
2) If zone->present_pages is changed, we also have to change
zone->inactive_ratio. That's because inactive_ratio depends on
zone->present_pages.

Presently, setup_per_zone_pages_min() changes low, high of zone as well as
min. So a better name is setup_per_zone_wmarks(). That's because Mel
changed zone->pages_[hig/low/min] to zone->watermark array in "page
allocator: replace the watermark-related union in struct zone with a
watermark[] array".
* setup_per_zone_pages_min => setup_per_zone_wmarks
Of course, we have to change init_per_zone_pages_min, too. There are not
pages_min any more.
* init_per_zone_pages_min => init_per_zone_wmark_min

in flags passed to the page allocator
This simplifies the code in gfp_zone() and also keeps the ability of the
compiler to use constant folding to get rid of gfp_zone processing.
The lookup of the zone is done using a bitfield stored in an integer. So
the code in gfp_zone is a simple extraction of bits from a constant
bitfield. The compiler is generating a load of a constant into a register
and then performs a shift and mask operation to get the zone from a gfp_t.
No cachelines are touched and no branches have to be predicted by the
compiler.
We are doing some macro tricks here to convince the compiler to always do
the constant folding if possible.

migrate_prep() is fairly expensive (72us on 16-core barcelona 1.9GHz).
Commit 3140a2273009c01c27d316f35ab76a37e105fdd8 improved move_pages()
throughput by breaking it into chunks, but it also made migrate_prep() be
called once per chunk (every 128pages or so) instead of once per
move_pages().
This patch reverts to calling migrate_prep() only once per chunk as we did
before 2.6.29. It is also a followup to commit
0aedadf91a70a11c4a3e7c7d99b21e5528af8d5d ("mm: move migrate_prep out from

This improves migration throughput on the above machine from 600MB/s to

Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory:
* Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend.
* Free pages are almost exhausted.
* Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate
some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or
equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
* __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the
OOM killer.
* The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so
it doesn't die immediately.
* __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries
to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer.
* No progress can be made.
Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory
shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically
possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been
removed from that code path. Moreover, since memory allocations are
going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even
more likely to happen during hibernation.
To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch
that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in
which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set
this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

__GFP_NOFAIL is a bad fiction. Allocations _can_ fail, and callers should
detect and suitably handle this (and not by lamely moving the infinite
loop up to the caller level either).
Attempting to use __GFP_NOFAIL for a higher-order allocation is even
worse, so add a once-off runtime check for this to slap people around for
even thinking about trying it.

Since videobuf-dma-contig is designed to handle physically contiguous
memory, this patch modifies the videobuf-dma-contig code to only accept a
user space pointer to physically contiguous memory. For now only
VM_PFNMAP vmas are supported, so forget hotplug.
On SuperH Mobile we use this with our sh_mobile_ceu_camera driver together
with various multimedia accelerator blocks that are exported to user space
using UIO. The UIO kernel code exports physically contiguous memory to
user space and lets the user space application mmap() this memory and pass
a pointer using the USERPTR interface for V4L2 zero copy operation.
With this approach we support zero copy capture, hardware scaling and
various forms of hardware encoding and decoding.

The lru->nr_saved_scan's are not meaningful counters for even kernel
developers. They typically are smaller than 32 and are always 0 for large
lists. So remove them from /proc/zoneinfo.
Hopefully this interface change won't break too many scripts.
/proc/zoneinfo is too unstructured to be script friendly, and I wonder the
affected scripts - if there are any - are still bleeding since the not
long ago commit "vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets", which
also touched the "scanned" line :)
If we are to re-export accumulated vmscan counts in the future, they can
go to new lines in /proc/zoneinfo instead of the current form, or to
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo?

When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those
pages first, before considering evicting other pages.
This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems
because only three things can happen to an inactive file page:
1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list
2) evicted by the pageout code
3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted
The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or
allocated for something else. If the pages are used for streaming IO,
this pageout pattern continues. Otherwise, we will fall back to the
normal pageout pattern.

Export all page flags faithfully in /proc/kpageflags.
11. KPF_MMAP (pseudo flag) memory mapped page
12. KPF_ANON (pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous)
13. KPF_SWAPCACHE page is in swap cache
14. KPF_SWAPBACKED page is swap/RAM backed
15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD (*)
16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL (*)
17. KPF_HUGE hugeTLB pages
18. KPF_UNEVICTABLE page is in the unevictable LRU list
19. KPF_HWPOISON(TBD) hardware detected corruption
20. KPF_NOPAGE (pseudo flag) no page frame at the address
32-39. more obscure flags for kernel developers
(*) For compound pages, exporting _both_ head/tail info enables
users to tell where a compound page starts/ends, and its order.
The accompanying page-types tool will handle the details like decoupling
overloaded flags and hiding obscure flags to normal users.
Thanks to KOSAKI and Andi for their valuable recommendations!

A series of patches to enhance the /proc/pagemap interface and to add a
userspace executable which can be used to present the pagemap data.
Export 10 more flags to end users (and more for kernel developers):
11. KPF_MMAP (pseudo flag) memory mapped page
12. KPF_ANON (pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous)
13. KPF_SWAPCACHE page is in swap cache
14. KPF_SWAPBACKED page is swap/RAM backed
15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD (*)
16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL (*)
17. KPF_HUGE hugeTLB pages
18. KPF_UNEVICTABLE page is in the unevictable LRU list
19. KPF_HWPOISON hardware detected corruption
20. KPF_NOPAGE (pseudo flag) no page frame at the address
(*) For compound pages, exporting _both_ head/tail info enables
users to tell where a compound page starts/ends, and its order.

This patch:
Introduce PageHuge(), which identifies huge/gigantic pages by their
dedicated compound destructor functions.
Also move prep_compound_gigantic_page() to hugetlb.c and make
__free_pages_ok() non-static.

logic
alloc_large_system_hash() has logic for freeing pages at the end of an
excessively large power-of-two buffer that is a duplicate of what is in
alloc_pages_exact(). This patch converts alloc_large_system_hash() to use
alloc_pages_exact().

Callers may speculatively call different allocators in order of preference
trying to allocate a buffer of a given size. The order needed to allocate
this may be larger than what the page allocator can normally handle.
While the allocator mostly does the right thing, it should not direct
reclaim or wakeup kswapd with a bogus order. This patch sanity checks the
order in the slow path and returns NULL if it is too large.

Currently, free_page_mlock() is only called from page_alloc.c. Thus, we
can move it to page_alloc.c.

SLAB currently avoids checking a bitmap repeatedly by checking once and
storing a flag. When the addition of nr_online_nodes as a cheaper version
of num_online_nodes(), this check can be replaced by nr_online_nodes.

fast paths
num_online_nodes() is called in a number of places but most often by the
page allocator when deciding whether the zonelist needs to be filtered
based on cpusets or the zonelist cache. This is actually a heavy function
and touches a number of cache lines.
This patch stores the number of online nodes at boot time and updates the
value when nodes get onlined and offlined. The value is then used in a
number of important paths in place of num_online_nodes().
