2015-04-14alpha: expose number of page table levels on Kconfig levelKirill A. Shutemov1-0/+4
I've implemented accounting for pmd page tables as we have for pte (see mm->nr_ptes). It's requires a new counter in mm_struct: mm->nr_pmds. But the feature doesn't make any sense if an architecture has PMD level folded and it would be nice get rid of the counter in this case. The problem is that we cannot use __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED in <linux/mm_types.h> due to circular dependencies: <linux/mm_types> -> <asm/pgtable.h> -> <linux/mm_types.h> In most cases <asm/pgtable.h> wants <linux/mm_types.h> to get definition of struct page and struct vm_area_struct. I've tried to split mm_struct into separate header file to be able to user <asm/pgtable.h> there. But it doesn't fly on some architectures, like ARM: it wants mm_struct <asm/pgtable.h> to implement tlb flushing. I don't see how to fix it without massive de-inlining or coverting a lot for inline functions to macros. This is other approach: expose number of page tables in use via Kconfig and use it in <linux/mm_types.h> instead of __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED from <asm/pgtable.h>. This patch (of 19): We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct. Let's expose it as CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

This makes show_mem() much less verbose on huge machines. Instead of huge and almost useless dump of counters for each per-zone per-cpu lists this patch prints the sum of these counters for each zone (free_pcp) and size of per-cpu list for current cpu (local_pcp). The filter flag SHOW_MEM_PERCPU_LISTS reverts to the old verbose mode.

2015-04-14page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()Konstantin Khlebnikov9-49/+41
This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters. It's called from truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3). Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f982846 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation"). Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must be handled by caller (either written or truncated). This patch treats final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it. If something removes dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten data might be lost. Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough here. cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant. This is helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete invalidation. The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c796f ("Clean up and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and 3e67c0987d75 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit ecdfc9787fe5 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f53 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal"). Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit 1b3b4a1a2deb ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()"). Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f1b ("Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

2015-04-14mm: incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pagesEbru Akagunduz1-8/+20
This patch improves THP collapse rates, by allowing zero pages. Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch counts pte none and mapped zero pages with the same variable. The patch was tested with a program that allocates 800MB of memory, and performs interleaved reads and writes, in a pattern that causes some 2MB areas to first see read accesses, resulting in the zero pfn being mapped there. To simulate memory fragmentation at allocation time, I modified do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page to return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK for read faults. Without the patch, only %50 of the program was collapsed into THP and the percentage did not increase over time. With this patch after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99 of the program's memory.

2015-04-14mm/compaction: enhance compaction finish conditionJoonsoo Kim3-7/+29
Compaction has anti fragmentation algorithm. It is that freepage should be more than pageblock order to finish the compaction if we don't find any freepage in requested migratetype buddy list. This is for mitigating fragmentation, but, there is a lack of migratetype consideration and it is too excessive compared to page allocator's anti fragmentation algorithm. Not considering migratetype would cause premature finish of compaction. For example, if allocation request is for unmovable migratetype, freepage with CMA migratetype doesn't help that allocation and compaction should not be stopped. But, current logic regards this situation as compaction is no longer needed, so finish the compaction. Secondly, condition is too excessive compared to page allocator's logic. We can steal freepage from other migratetype and change pageblock migratetype on more relaxed conditions in page allocator. This is designed to prevent fragmentation and we can use it here. Imposing hard constraint only to the compaction doesn't help much in this case since page allocator would cause fragmentation again. To solve these problems, this patch borrows anti fragmentation logic from page allocator. It will reduce premature compaction finish in some cases and reduce excessive compaction work. stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows considerable increase of compaction success rate. Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %) 31.82 : 42.20 I tested it on non-reboot 5 runs stress-highalloc benchmark and found that there is no more degradation on allocation success rate than before. That roughly means that this patch doesn't result in more fragmentations. Vlastimil suggests additional idea that we only test for fallbacks when migration scanner has scanned a whole pageblock. It looked good for fragmentation because chance of stealing increase due to making more free pages in certain pageblock. So, I tested it, but, it results in decreased compaction success rate, roughly 38.00. I guess the reason that if system is low memory condition, watermark check could be failed due to not enough order 0 free page and so, sometimes, we can't reach a fallback check although migrate_pfn is aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. I can insert code to cope with this situation but it makes code more complicated so I don't include his idea at this patch.

2015-04-14mm/cma: change fallback behaviour for CMA freepageJoonsoo Kim1-17/+19
Freepage with MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE and they should not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list to protect them from unmovable/reclaimable allocation. Implementing these requirements in __rmqueue_fallback(), that is, finding largest possible block of freepage has bad effect that high order freepage with MIGRATE_CMA are broken continually although there are suitable order CMA freepage. Reason is that they are not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list and next __rmqueue_fallback() invocation try to finds another largest block of freepage and break it again. So, MIGRATE_CMA fallback should be handled separately. This patch introduces __rmqueue_cma_fallback(), that just wrapper of __rmqueue_smallest() and call it before __rmqueue_fallback() if migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE. This results in unintended behaviour change that MIGRATE_CMA freepage is always used first rather than other migratetype as movable allocation's fallback. But, as already mentioned above, MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it is better to use MIGRATE_CMA freepage first as much as possible. Otherwise, we needlessly take up precious freepages with other migratetype and increase chance of fragmentation.

2015-04-14mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory hot-add deadlockDavid Rientjes3-28/+30
There's a deadlock when concurrently hot-adding memory through the probe interface and switching a memory block from offline to online. When hot-adding memory via the probe interface, add_memory() first takes mem_hotplug_begin() and then device_lock() is later taken when registering the newly initialized memory block. This creates a lock dependency of (1) mem_hotplug.lock (2) dev->mutex. When switching a memory block from offline to online, dev->mutex is first grabbed in device_online() when the write(2) transitions an existing memory block from offline to online, and then online_pages() will take mem_hotplug_begin(). This creates a lock inversion between mem_hotplug.lock and dev->mutex. Vitaly reports that this deadlock can happen when kworker handling a probe event races with systemd-udevd switching a memory block's state. This patch requires the state transition to take mem_hotplug_begin() before dev->mutex. Hot-adding memory via the probe interface creates a memory block while holding mem_hotplug_begin(), there is no way to take dev->mutex first in this case. online_pages() and offline_pages() are only called when transitioning memory block state. We now require that mem_hotplug_begin() is taken before calling them -- this requires exporting the mem_hotplug_begin() and mem_hotplug_done() to generic code. In all hot-add and hot-remove cases, mem_hotplug_begin() is done prior to device_online(). This is all that is needed to avoid the deadlock.
