When running with GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y, the locking implementations emit
calls to arch_{read,write,spin}_relax when spinning on a contended lock
in order to allow architectures to favour the CPU owning the lock if
possible.
In reality, everybody apart from PowerPC and S390 just does cpu_relax()
here, so make that the default behaviour and allow it to be overridden
if required.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *
The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.
For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.
The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could
lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

pnp_bus_suspend() and pnp_bus_resume() invoke legacy pm_ops from
pnp_driver. Changed pnp_bus_suspend() and pnp_bus_resume() to check if
pnp driver has dev_pm_ops and call. If dev_pm_ops don't exist, then call
use legacy pm_ops. Without this change, pnp_driver dev_pm_ops will not
get called.
In addition to the pnp driver bus pm_ops change to invoke driver
dev_pm_ops, this patch set contains changes to rtc-cmos, tpm_tis, and
apple-gmux pnp drivers to convert from legacy pm_ops to dev_pm_ops.

A memory cgroup with (1) multiple threshold notifications and (2) at least
one threshold >=2G was not reliable. Specifically the notifications would
either not fire or would not fire in the proper order.
The __mem_cgroup_threshold() signaling logic depends on keeping 64 bit
thresholds in sorted order. mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() sorts them
with compare_thresholds(), which returns the difference of two 64 bit
thresholds as an int. If the difference is positive but has bit[31] set,
then sort() treats the difference as negative and breaks sort order.
This fix compares the two arbitrary 64 bit thresholds returning the
classic -1, 0, 1 result.
The test below sets two notifications (at 0x1000 and 0x81001000):
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
mkdir x
for x in 4096 2164264960; do
cgroup_event_listener x/memory.usage_in_bytes $x | sed "s/^/$x listener:/" &
done
echo $$ > x/cgroup.procs
anon_leaker 500M
v3.11-rc7 fails to signal the 4096 event listener:
Leaking...
Done leaking pages.
Patched v3.11-rc7 properly notifies:
Leaking...
4096 listener:2013:8:31:14:13:36
Done leaking pages.
The fixed bug is old. It appears to date back to the introduction of
memcg threshold notifications in v2.6.34-rc1-116-g2e72b6347c94 "memcg:
implement memory thresholds"

There is a race between mark inode dirty and writeback thread, see the
following scenario. In this case, writeback thread will not run though
there is dirty_io.
__mark_inode_dirty() bdi_writeback_workfn()
... ...
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
...
if (bdi_cap_writeback_dirty(bdi)) {
<<< assume wb has dirty_io, so wakeup_bdi is false.
<<< the following inode_dirty also have wakeup_bdi false.
if (!wb_has_dirty_io(&bdi->wb))
wakeup_bdi = true;
}
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
<<< assume last dirty_io is removed here.
pages_written = wb_do_writeback(wb);
...
<<< work_list empty and wb has no dirty_io,
<<< delayed_work will not be queued.
if (!list_empty(&bdi->work_list) ||
(wb_has_dirty_io(wb) && dirty_writeback_interval))
queue_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork,
msecs_to_jiffies(dirty_writeback_interval * 10));
spin_lock(&bdi->wb.list_lock);
inode->dirtied_when = jiffies;
<<< new dirty_io is added.
list_move(&inode->i_wb_list, &bdi->wb.b_dirty);
spin_unlock(&bdi->wb.list_lock);
<<< though there is dirty_io, but wakeup_bdi is false,
<<< so writeback thread will not be waked up and
<<< the new dirty_io will not be flushed.
if (wakeup_bdi)
bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi);
Writeback will run until there is a new flush work queued. This may cause
a lot of dirty pages stay in memory for a long time.

madvise hwpoison inject will poison the read-only empty zero page if there
is no write access before poison. Empty zero page reference count will be
increased for hwpoison, subsequent poison zero page will return directly
since page has already been set PG_hwpoison, however, page reference count
is still increased by get_user_pages_fast. The unpoison process will
unpoison the empty zero page and decrease the reference count successfully
for the fist time, however, subsequent unpoison empty zero page will
return directly since page has already been unpoisoned and without
decrease the page reference count of empty zero page.
This patch fixes it by make madvise_hwpoison() put a page and return
immediately (without calling memory_failure() or soft_offline_page()) when
the page is already hwpoisoned.

zone->lock
Set pageblock migration type will hold zone->lock which is heavy contended
in system to avoid race. However, soft offline page will set pageblock
migration type twice during get page if the page is in used, not hugetlbfs
page and not on lru list. There is unnecessary to set the pageblock
migration type and hold heavy contended zone->lock again if the first
round get page have already set the pageblock to right migration type.
The trick here is migration type is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. There are other two
parts can change MIGRATE_ISOLATE except hwpoison. One is memory hoplug,
however, we hold lock_memory_hotplug() which avoid race. The second is
CMA which umovable page allocation requst can't fallback to. So it's safe
here.

There is a race between hwpoison page and unpoison page, memory_failure
set the page hwpoison and increase num_poisoned_pages without hold page
lock, and one page count will be accounted against thp for
num_poisoned_pages. However, unpoison can occur before memory_failure
hold page lock and split transparent hugepage, unpoison will decrease
num_poisoned_pages by 1 << compound_order since memory_failure has not yet
split transparent hugepage with page lock held. That means we account one
page for hwpoison and 1 << compound_order for unpoison. This patch fix it
by inserting a PageTransHuge check before doing TestClearPageHWPoison,
unpoison failed without clearing PageHWPoison and decreasing
num_poisoned_pages.

compound lock is introduced by commit e9da73d67("thp: compound_lock."), it
is used to serialize put_page against __split_huge_page_refcount(). In
addition, transparent hugepages will be splitted in hwpoison handler and
just one subpage will be poisoned. There is unnecessary to hold compound
lock for hugetlbfs page. This patch replace compound_trans_order by
compond_order in the place where the page is hugetlbfs page.

memory_failure() store the page flag of the error page before doing unmap,
and (only) if the first check with page flags at the time decided the
error page is unknown, it do the second check with the stored page flag
since memory_failure() does unmapping of the error pages before doing
page_action(). This unmapping changes the page state, especially
page_remove_rmap() (called from try_to_unmap_one()) clears PG_mlocked, so
page_action() can't catch mlocked pages after that.
However, memory_failure() can't handle memory errors on dirty mlocked
pages correctly. try_to_unmap_one will move the dirty bit from pte to the
physical page, the second check lose it since it check the stored page
flag. This patch fix it by restore PG_dirty flag to stored page flag if
the page is dirty.

The feature prevents mistrusted filesystems (ie: FUSE mounts created by
unprivileged users) to grow a large number of dirty pages before
throttling. For such filesystems balance_dirty_pages always check bdi
counters against bdi limits. I.e. even if global "nr_dirty" is under
"freerun", it's not allowed to skip bdi checks. The only use case for now
is fuse: it sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default and system administrators
are supposed to expect that this limit won't be exceeded.
The feature is on if a BDI is marked by BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT flag. A
filesystem may set the flag when it initializes its BDI.
The problematic scenario comes from the fact that nobody pays attention to
the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter (i.e. number of pages under fuse
writeback). The implementation of fuse writeback releases original page
(by calling end_page_writeback) almost immediately. A fuse request queued
for real processing bears a copy of original page. Hence, if userspace
fuse daemon doesn't finalize write requests in timely manner, an
aggressive mmap writer can pollute virtually all memory by those temporary
fuse page copies. They are carefully accounted in NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP, but
nobody cares.
To make further explanations shorter, let me use "NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP
problem" as a shortcut for "a possibility of uncontrolled grow of amount
of RAM consumed by temporary pages allocated by kernel fuse to process
writeback".
The problem was very easy to reproduce. There is a trivial example
filesystem implementation in fuse userspace distribution: fusexmp_fh.c. I
added "sleep(1);" to the write methods, then recompiled and mounted it.
Then created a huge file on the mount point and run a simple program which
mmap-ed the file to a memory region, then wrote a data to the region. An
hour later I observed almost all RAM consumed by fuse writeback. Since
then some unrelated changes in kernel fuse made it more difficult to
reproduce, but it is still possible now.
Putting this theoretical happens-in-the-lab thing aside, there is another
thing that really hurts real world (FUSE) users. This is write-through
page cache policy FUSE currently uses. I.e. handling write(2), kernel
fuse populates page cache and flushes user data to the server
synchronously. This is excessively suboptimal. Pavel Emelyanov's patches
("writeback cache policy") solve the problem, but they also make resolving
NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem absolutely necessary. Otherwise, simply copying
a huge file to a fuse mount would result in memory starvation. Miklos,
the maintainer of FUSE, believes strictlimit feature the way to go.
And eventually putting FUSE topics aside, there is one more use-case for
strictlimit feature. Using a slow USB stick (mass storage) in a machine
with huge amount of RAM installed is a well-known pain. Let's make simple
computations. Assuming 64GB of RAM installed, existing implementation of
balance_dirty_pages will start throttling only after 9.6GB of RAM becomes
dirty (freerun == 15% of total RAM). So, the command "cp 9GB_file
/media/my-usb-storage/" may return in a few seconds, but subsequent
"umount /media/my-usb-storage/" will take more than two hours if effective
throughput of the storage is, to say, 1MB/sec.
After inclusion of strictlimit feature, it will be trivial to add a knob
(e.g. /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/x:y/strictlimit) to enable it on demand.
Manually or via udev rule. May be I'm wrong, but it seems to be quite a
natural desire to limit the amount of dirty memory for some devices we are
not fully trust (in the sense of sustainable throughput).

This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description,
please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74.
Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free
pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is
heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim
path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton
enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives
in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock:
kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still
not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again
to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to
0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at
73ce02e9 in detail. If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep
and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0. It assume high-order users
can still perform direct reclaim if they wish.
Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a
COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on
zone->all_unreclaimble= . This is because to avoid too early oom-kill.
So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop.
In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when
kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill
the process. As described in:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737
We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because
direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy. Thus this
patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates
zone reclaimable state every time.
Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned
directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable. Because, it
is racy. commit 929bea7c71 (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use
zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

Currently munlock_vma_pages_range() calls follow_page_mask() to obtain
each individual struct page. This entails repeated full page table
translations and page table lock taken for each page separately.
This patch avoids the costly follow_page_mask() where possible, by
iterating over ptes within single pmd under single page table lock. The
first pte is obtained by get_locked_pte() for non-THP page acquired by the
initial follow_page_mask(). The rest of the on-stack pagevec for munlock
is filled up using pte_walk as long as pte_present() and vm_normal_page()
are sufficient to obtain the struct page.
After this patch, a 14% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large
memory area with THP disabled.

The performance of the fast path in munlock_vma_range() can be further
improved by avoiding atomic ops of a redundant get_page()/put_page() pair.
When calling get_page() during page isolation, we already have the pin
from follow_page_mask(). This pin will be then returned by
__pagevec_lru_add(), after which we do not reference the pages anymore.
After this patch, an 8% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large

After introducing batching by pagevecs into munlock_vma_range(), we can
further improve performance by bypassing the copying into per-cpu pagevec
and the get_page/put_page pair associated with that. Instead we perform
LRU putback directly from our pagevec. However, this is possible only for
single-mapped pages that are evictable after munlock. Unevictable pages
require rechecking after putting on the unevictable list, so for those we
fallback to putback_lru_page(), hich handles that.
After this patch, a 13% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large

Depending on previous batch which introduced batched isolation in
munlock_vma_range(), we can batch also the updates of NR_MLOCK page stats.
After the whole pagevec is processed for page isolation, the stats are
updated only once with the number of successful isolations. There were
however no measurable perfomance gains.

Currently, munlock_vma_range() calls munlock_vma_page on each page in a
loop, which results in repeated taking and releasing of the lru_lock
spinlock for isolating pages one by one. This patch batches the munlock
operations using an on-stack pagevec, so that isolation is done under
single lru_lock. For THP pages, the old behavior is preserved as they
might be split while putting them into the pagevec. After this patch, a
9% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory area with THP
disabled.
A new function __munlock_pagevec() is introduced that takes a pagevec and:
1) It clears PageMlocked and isolates all pages under lru_lock. Zone page
stats can be also updated using the variant which assumes disabled
interrupts. 2) It finishes the munlock and lru putback on all pages under
their lock_page. Note that previously, lock_page covered also the
PageMlocked clearing and page isolation, but it is not needed for those
operations.

In munlock_vma_range(), lru_add_drain() is currently called in a loop
before each munlock_vma_page() call.
This is suboptimal for performance when munlocking many pages. The
benefits of per-cpu pagevec for batching the LRU putback are removed since
the pagevec only holds at most one page from the previous loop's
iteration.
The lru_add_drain() call also does not serve any purposes for correctness
- it does not even drain pagavecs of all cpu's. The munlock code already
expects and handles situations where a page cannot be isolated from the
LRU (e.g. because it is on some per-cpu pagevec).
The history of the (not commented) call also suggest that it appears there
as an oversight rather than intentionally. Before commit ff6a6da6 ("mm:
accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") the call happened only once
upon entering the function. The commit has moved the call into the while
loope. So while the other changes in the commit improved munlock
performance for THP pages, it introduced the abovementioned suboptimal
per-cpu pagevec usage.
Further in history, before commit 408e82b7 ("mm: munlock use
follow_page"), munlock_vma_pages_range() was just a wrapper around
__mlock_vma_pages_range which performed both mlock and munlock depending
on a flag. However, before ba470de4 ("mmap: handle mlocked pages during
map, remap, unmap") the function handled only mlock, not munlock. The
lru_add_drain call thus comes from the implementation in commit b291f000
("mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable" and was intended only for
mlocking, not munlocking. The original intention of draining the LRU
pagevec at mlock time was to ensure the pages were on the LRU before the
lock operation so that they could be placed on the unevictable list
immediately. There is very little motivation to do the same in the
munlock path this, particularly for every single page.
This patch therefore removes the call completely. After removing the
call, a 10% speedup was measured for munlock() of a 56GB large memory area
with THP disabled.

The goal of this patch series is to improve performance of munlock() of
large mlocked memory areas on systems without THP. This is motivated by
reported very long times of crash recovery of processes with such areas,
where munlock() can take several seconds. See
http://lwn.net/Articles/548108/
The work was driven by a simple benchmark (to be included in mmtests) that
mmaps() e.g. 56GB with MAP_LOCKED | MAP_POPULATE and measures the time of
munlock(). Profiling was performed by attaching operf --pid to the
process and sending a signal to trigger the munlock() part and then notify
bach the monitoring wrapper to stop operf, so that only munlock() appears
in the profile.
The profiles have shown that CPU time is spent mostly by atomic operations
and repeated locking per single pages. This series aims to reduce both, starting
from simpler to more complex changes.
Patch 1 performs a simple cleanup in putback_lru_page() so that page lru base
type is not determined without being actually needed.
Patch 2 removes an unnecessary call to lru_add_drain() which drains the per-cpu
pagevec after each munlocked page is put there.
Patch 3 changes munlock_vma_range() to use an on-stack pagevec for isolating
multiple non-THP pages under a single lru_lock instead of locking and
processing each page separately.
Patch 4 changes the NR_MLOCK accounting to be called only once per the pvec
introduced by previous patch.
Patch 5 uses the introduced pagevec to batch also the work of putback_lru_page
when possible, bypassing the per-cpu pvec and associated overhead.
Patch 6 removes a redundant get_page/put_page pair which saves costly atomic
operations.
Patch 7 avoids calling follow_page_mask() on each individual page, and obtains
multiple page references under a single page table lock where possible.
Measurements were made using 3.11-rc3 as a baseline. The first set of
measurements shows the possibly ideal conditions where batching should
help the most. All memory is allocated from a single NUMA node and THP is
disabled.

The second set of measurements simulates the worst possible conditions for
batching by using numactl --interleave, so that there is in fact only one
page per pagevec. Even in this case the series seems to improve
performance thanks to reduced atomic operations and removal of
lru_add_drain().

For completeness, a third set of measurements shows the situation where
THP is enabled and allocations are again done on a single NUMA node. Here
munlock() is already very fast thanks to huge pages, and this series does
not compromise that performance. It seems that the removal of call to
lru_add_drain() still helps a bit.

This patch (of 7):
In putback_lru_page() since commit c53954a092 (""mm: remove lru parameter
from __lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru") it is no longer needed to
determine lru list via page_lru_base_type().
This patch replaces it with simple flag is_unevictable which says that the
page was put on the inevictable list. This is the only information that
matters in subsequent tests.

Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or
expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this
situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap,
loosing soft dirty bit of course.
So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in. When new vma area created (or old expanded)
we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing
soft dirty bit.
Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if
vma area is renewed.

In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads() will
submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits
immediately without doing anything, even though there are dirty inodes in
the system. Thus sync(1) will write all the dirty inodes from a
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.
Fix the problem by using get_nr_dirty_pages() in wakeup_flusher_threads()
instead of calculating number of dirty pages manually. That function also
takes number of dirty inodes into account.

I am working with a tool that simulates oracle database I/O workload.
This tool (orion to be specific -
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16638/iodesign.htm#autoId24>)
allocates hugetlbfs pages using shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB flag. It then
does aio into these pages from flash disks using various common block
sizes used by database. I am looking at performance with two of the most
common block sizes - 1M and 64K. aio performance with these two block
sizes plunged after Transparent HugePages was introduced in the kernel.
Here are performance numbers:
pre-THP 2.6.39 3.11-rc5
1M read 8384 MB/s 5629 MB/s 6501 MB/s
64K read 7867 MB/s 4576 MB/s 4251 MB/s
I have narrowed the performance impact down to the overheads introduced by
THP in __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() routines. perf top shows
>40% of cycles being spent in these two routines. Every time direct I/O
to hugetlbfs pages starts, kernel calls get_page() to grab a reference to
the pages and calls put_page() when I/O completes to put the reference
away. THP introduced significant amount of locking overhead to get_page()
and put_page() when dealing with compound pages because hugepages can be
split underneath get_page() and put_page(). It added this overhead
irrespective of whether it is dealing with hugetlbfs pages or transparent
hugepages. This resulted in 20%-45% drop in aio performance when using
hugetlbfs pages.
Since hugetlbfs pages can not be split, there is no reason to go through
all the locking overhead for these pages from what I can see. I added
code to __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() to bypass all the
locking code when working with hugetlbfs pages. This improved performance
significantly. Performance numbers with this patch:
pre-THP 3.11-rc5 3.11-rc5 + Patch
1M read 8384 MB/s 6501 MB/s 8371 MB/s
64K read 7867 MB/s 4251 MB/s 6510 MB/s
Performance with 64K read is still lower than what it was before THP, but
still a 53% improvement. It does mean there is more work to be done but I
will take a 53% improvement for now.
Please take a look at the following patch and let me know if it looks
reasonable.

If kswapd was reclaiming for a high order and resets it to 0 due to
fragmentation it will still call compact_pgdat. For the most part, this
will fail a compaction_suitable() test and not compact but it is
unnecessarily sloppy. It could be fixed in the caller but fix it in the
API instead.
