2013-11-13mm: numa: return the number of base pages altered by protection changesMel Gorman
Commit 0255d4918480 ("mm: Account for a THP NUMA hinting update as one PTE update") was added to account for the number of PTE updates when marking pages prot_numa. task_numa_work was using the old return value to track how much address space had been updated. Altering the return value causes the scanner to do more work than it is configured or documented to in a single unit of work. This patch reverts that commit and accounts for the number of THP updates separately in vmstat. It is up to the administrator to interpret the pair of values correctly. This is a straight-forward operation and likely to only be of interest when actively debugging NUMA balancing problems. The impact of this patch is that the NUMA PTE scanner will scan slower when THP is enabled and workloads may converge slower as a result. On the flip size system CPU usage should be lower than recent tests reported. This is an illustrative example of a short single JVM specjbb test specjbb 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanilla acctupdates TPut 1 26143.00 ( 0.00%) 25747.00 ( -1.51%) TPut 7 185257.00 ( 0.00%) 183202.00 ( -1.11%) TPut 13 329760.00 ( 0.00%) 346577.00 ( 5.10%) TPut 19 442502.00 ( 0.00%) 460146.00 ( 3.99%) TPut 25 540634.00 ( 0.00%) 549053.00 ( 1.56%) TPut 31 512098.00 ( 0.00%) 519611.00 ( 1.47%) TPut 37 461276.00 ( 0.00%) 474973.00 ( 2.97%) TPut 43 403089.00 ( 0.00%) 414172.00 ( 2.75%) 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanillaacctupdates User 5169.64 5184.14 System 100.45 80.02 Elapsed 252.75 251.85 Performance is similar but note the reduction in system CPU time.

The refcount routine was not fit the kernel get/put semantic exactly, There were too many judgement statements on refcount and it could be minus. This patch does the following: - move refcount judgement to zswap_entry_put() to hide resource free function. - add a new function zswap_entry_find_get(), so that callers can use easily in the following pattern: zswap_entry_find_get .../* do something */ zswap_entry_put - to eliminate compile error, move some functions declaration This patch is based on Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> 's idea and suggestion.

2013-11-13mm/zswap: bugfix: memory leak when invalidate and reclaim occur concurrentlyWeijie Yang
Consider the following scenario: thread 0: reclaim entry x (get refcount, but not call zswap_get_swap_cache_page) thread 1: call zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page to invalidate entry x. finished, entry x and its zbud is not freed as its refcount != 0 now, the swap_map[x] = 0 thread 0: now call zswap_get_swap_cache_page swapcache_prepare return -ENOENT because entry x is not used any more zswap_get_swap_cache_page return ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM zswap_writeback_entry do nothing except put refcount Now, the memory of zswap_entry x and its zpage leak. Modify: - check the refcount in fail path, free memory if it is not referenced. - use ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_FAIL instead of ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM as the fail path can be not only caused by nomem but also by invalidate.

2013-11-13mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addrAkira Takeuchi
This patch fixes the problem that get_unmapped_area() can return illegal address and result in failing mmap(2) etc. In case that the address higher than PAGE_SIZE is set to /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, the address lower than mmap_min_addr can be returned by get_unmapped_area(), even if you do not pass any virtual address hint (i.e. the second argument). This is because the current get_unmapped_area() code does not take into account mmap_min_addr. This leads to two actual problems as follows: 1. mmap(2) can fail with EPERM on the process without CAP_SYS_RAWIO, although any illegal parameter is not passed. 2. The bottom-up search path after the top-down search might not work in arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(). Note: The first and third chunk of my patch, which changes "len" check, are for more precise check using mmap_min_addr, and not for solving the above problem.

2013-11-13mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock typeKOSAKI Motohiro
When __rmqueue_fallback() doesn't find a free block with the required size it splits a larger page and puts the rest of the page onto the free list. But it has one serious mistake. When putting back, __rmqueue_fallback() always use start_migratetype if type is not CMA. However, __rmqueue_fallback() is only called when all of the start_migratetype queue is empty. That said, __rmqueue_fallback always puts back memory to the wrong queue except try_to_steal_freepages() changed pageblock type (i.e. requested size is smaller than half of page block). The end result is that the antifragmentation framework increases fragmenation instead of decreasing it. Mel's original anti fragmentation does the right thing. But commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") broke it. This patch restores sane and old behavior. It also removes an incorrect comment which was introduced by commit fef903efcf0c ("mm/page_alloc.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug").

2013-11-13readahead: fix sequential read cache miss detectionDamien Ramonda
The kernel's readahead algorithm sometimes interprets random read accesses as sequential and triggers unnecessary data prefecthing from storage device (impacting random read average latency). In order to identify sequential cache read misses, the readahead algorithm intends to check whether offset - previous offset == 1 (trivial sequential reads) or offset - previous offset == 0 (sequential reads not aligned on page boundary): if (offset - (ra->prev_pos >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT) <= 1UL) The current offset is stored in the "offset" variable of type "pgoff_t" (unsigned long), while previous offset is stored in "ra->prev_pos" of type "loff_t" (long long). Therefore, operands of the if statement are implicitly converted to type long long. Consequently, when previous offset > current offset (which happens on random pattern), the if condition is true and access is wrongly interpeted as sequential. An unnecessary data prefetching is triggered, impacting the average random read latency. Storing the previous offset value in a "pgoff_t" variable (unsigned long) fixes the sequential read detection logic.

2013-11-13mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot optionTang Chen
The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable. As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it. Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed. But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA performance down. And other users may be unhappy. So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality. In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE. To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel does the following: 1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up. 2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory top down. Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel will work as before.

2013-11-13mm/memblock.c: introduce bottom-up allocation modeTang Chen
The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable memory for the kernel. ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this. In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least 16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely unhotpluggable. So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and to the higher memory. Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image. The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down. So this patch introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up. And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we will limit the start address above the kernel.

2013-11-13mm/memblock.c: factor out of top-down allocationTang Chen
[Problem] The current Linux cannot migrate pages used by the kernel because of the kernel direct mapping. In Linux kernel space, va = pa + PAGE_OFFSET. When the pa is changed, we cannot simply update the pagetable and keep the va unmodified. So the kernel pages are not migratable. There are also some other issues will cause the kernel pages not migratable. For example, the physical address may be cached somewhere and will be used. It is not to update all the caches. When doing memory hotplug in Linux, we first migrate all the pages in one memory device somewhere else, and then remove the device. But if pages are used by the kernel, they are not migratable. As a result, memory used by the kernel cannot be hot-removed. Modifying the kernel direct mapping mechanism is too difficult to do. And it may cause the kernel performance down and unstable. So we use the following way to do memory hotplug. [What we are doing] In Linux, memory in one numa node is divided into several zones. One of the zones is ZONE_MOVABLE, which the kernel won't use. In order to implement memory hotplug in Linux, we are going to arrange all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use these memory. To do this, we need ACPI's help. In ACPI, SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) contains NUMA info. The memory affinities in SRAT record every memory range in the system, and also, flags specifying if the memory range is hotpluggable. (Please refer to ACPI spec 5.0 5.2.16) With the help of SRAT, we have to do the following two things to achieve our goal: 1. When doing memory hot-add, allow the users arranging hotpluggable as ZONE_MOVABLE. (This has been done by the MOVABLE_NODE functionality in Linux.) 2. when the system is booting, prevent bootmem allocator from allocating hotpluggable memory for the kernel before the memory initialization finishes. The problem 2 is the key problem we are going to solve. But before solving it, we need some preparation. Please see below. [Preparation] Bootloader has to load the kernel image into memory. And this memory must be unhotpluggable. We cannot prevent this anyway. So in a memory hotplug system, we can assume any node the kernel resides in is not hotpluggable. Before SRAT is parsed, we don't know which memory ranges are hotpluggable. But memblock has already started to work. In the current kernel, memblock allocates the following memory before SRAT is parsed: setup_arch() |->memblock_x86_fill() /* memblock is ready */ |...... |->early_reserve_e820_mpc_new() /* allocate memory under 1MB */ |->reserve_real_mode() /* allocate memory under 1MB */ |->init_mem_mapping() /* allocate page tables, about 2MB to map 1GB memory */ |->dma_contiguous_reserve() /* specified by user, should be low */ |->setup_log_buf() /* specified by user, several mega bytes */ |->relocate_initrd() /* could be large, but will be freed after boot, should reorder */ |->acpi_initrd_override() /* several mega bytes */ |->reserve_crashkernel() /* could be large, should reorder */ |...... |->initmem_init() /* Parse SRAT */ According to Tejun's advice, before SRAT is parsed, we should try our best to allocate memory near the kernel image. Since the whole node the kernel resides in won't be hotpluggable, and for a modern server, a node may have at least 16GB memory, allocating several mega bytes memory around the kernel image won't cross to hotpluggable memory. [About this patchset] So this patchset is the preparation for the problem 2 that we want to solve. It does the following: 1. Make memblock be able to allocate memory bottom up. 1) Keep all the memblock APIs' prototype unmodified. 2) When the direction is bottom up, keep the start address greater than the end of kernel image. 2. Improve init_mem_mapping() to support allocate page tables in bottom up direction. 3. Introduce "movable_node" boot option to enable and disable this functionality. This patch (of 6): Create a new function __memblock_find_range_top_down to factor out of top-down allocation from memblock_find_in_range_node. This is a preparation because we will introduce a new bottom-up allocation mode in the following patch.

2013-11-13mmap: arch_get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base for bottom up directionHeiko Carstens
This is more or less the generic variant of commit 41aacc1eea64 ("x86 get_unmapped_area: Access mmap_legacy_base through mm_struct member"). So effectively architectures which use an own arch_pick_mmap_layout() implementation but call the generic arch_get_unmapped_area() now can also randomize their mmap_base. All architectures which have an own arch_pick_mmap_layout() and call the generic arch_get_unmapped_area() (arm64, s390, tile) currently set mmap_base to TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE.

2013-11-13frontswap: enable call to invalidate area on swapoffKrzysztof Kozlowski
During swapoff the frontswap_map was NULL-ified before calling frontswap_invalidate_area(). However the frontswap_invalidate_area() exits early if frontswap_map is NULL. Invalidate was never called during swapoff. This patch moves frontswap_map_set() in swapoff just after calling frontswap_invalidate_area() so outside of locks (swap_lock and swap_info_struct->lock). This shouldn't be a problem as during swapon the frontswap_map_set() is called also outside of any locks.

2013-11-13mm: kmemleak: avoid false negatives on vmalloc'ed objectsCatalin Marinas
Commit 248ac0e1943a ("mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocks") had the side effect of making vmap_area.va_end member point to the next vmap_area.va_start. This was creating an artificial reference to vmalloc'ed objects and kmemleak was rarely reporting vmalloc() leaks. This patch marks the vmap_area containing pointers explicitly and reduces the min ref_count to 2 as vm_struct still contains a reference to the vmalloc'ed object. The kmemleak add_scan_area() function has been improved to allow a SIZE_MAX argument covering the rest of the object (for simpler calling sites).

2013-11-13mm/sparsemem: fix a bug in free_map_bootmem when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAPZhang Yanfei
We pass the number of pages which hold page structs of a memory section to free_map_bootmem(). This is right when !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP but wrong when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we should pass the number of pages of a memory section to free_map_bootmem. So the fix is removing the nr_pages parameter. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we directly use the prefined marco PAGES_PER_SECTION in free_map_bootmem. When !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we calculate page numbers needed to hold the page structs for a memory section and use the value in free_map_bootmem(). This was found by reading the code. And I have no machine that support memory hot-remove to test the bug now.

For below functions, - sparse_add_one_section() - kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kfree_section_memmap() they are always invoked to operate on one memory section, so it is redundant to always pass a nr_pages parameter, which is the page numbers in one section.

2013-11-13mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target nodeBob Liu
Khugepaged will scan/free HPAGE_PMD_NR normal pages and replace with a hugepage which is allocated from the node of the first scanned normal page, but this policy is too rough and may end with unexpected result to upper users. The problem is the original page-balancing among all nodes will be broken after hugepaged started. Thinking about the case if the first scanned normal page is allocated from node A, most of other scanned normal pages are allocated from node B or C.. But hugepaged will always allocate hugepage from node A which will cause extra memory pressure on node A which is not the situation before khugepaged started. This patch try to fix this problem by making khugepaged allocate hugepage from the node which have max record of scaned normal pages hit, so that the effect to original page-balancing can be minimized. The other problem is if normal scanned pages are equally allocated from Node A,B and C, after khugepaged started Node A will still suffer extra memory pressure. Andrew Davidoff reported a related issue several days ago. He wanted his application interleaving among all nodes and "numactl --interleave=all ./test" was used to run the testcase, but the result wasn't not as expected. cat /proc/2814/numa_maps: 7f50bd440000 interleave:0-3 anon=51403 dirty=51403 N0=435 N1=435 N2=435 N3=50098 The end result showed that most pages are from Node3 instead of interleave among node0-3 which was unreasonable. This patch also fix this issue by allocating hugepage round robin from all nodes have the same record, after this patch the result was as expected: 7f78399c0000 interleave:0-3 anon=51403 dirty=51403 N0=12723 N1=12723 N2=13235 N3=12722 The simple testcase is like this: int main() { char *p; int i; int j; for (i=0; i < 200; i++) { p = (char *)malloc(1048576); printf("malloc done\n"); if (p == 0) { printf("Out of memory\n"); return 1; } for (j=0; j < 1048576; j++) { p[j] = 'A'; } printf("touched memory\n"); sleep(1); } printf("enter sleep\n"); while(1) { sleep(100); } } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make last_khugepaged_target_node local to khugepaged_find_target_node()] Reported-by: Andrew Davidoff <davidoff@qedmf.net> Tested-by: Andrew Davidoff <davidoff@qedmf.net> Signed-off-by: Bob Liu <bob.liu@oracle.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Kirill A.

For this reason, this patch replaces mem_online_node() with try_online_node(), which performs the whole steps with lock_memory_hotplug() held. try_online_node() is named after try_offline_node() as they have similar purpose.
