glibc recently changed the error string for ESTALE to remove "NFS" -
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=96945714ec61951cc748da2b4b8a80cf02127ee9
from: [ERR_REMAP (ESTALE)] = N_("Stale NFS file handle"),
to: [ERR_REMAP (ESTALE)] = N_("Stale file handle"),
And some have expressed concern that the kernel's errno.h
comments still refer to NFS.
So make that change... note that this is a comment-only change,
and has no functional difference.

Use standard gcc __attribute__((alias(foo))) to define the syscall aliases
instead of custom assembler macros.
This is far cleaner, and also fixes my LTO kernel build.

The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET
registers to userspace. The Kconfig help points out that in some cases
this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the
map such that additional data is exposed to userspace.
This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP
functionality but it comes with a significant security risk. In an effort
to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP
functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that
is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

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

Now dirty_background_ratio/dirty_ratio contains a percentage of total
avaiable memory, which contains free pages and reclaimable pages. The
number of these pages is not equal to the number of total system memory.
But they are described as a percentage of total system memory in
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt. So we need to fix them to avoid
misunderstanding.

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

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.

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.

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").

In general, every tracepoint should be zero overhead if it is disabled.
However, trace_mm_page_alloc_extfrag() is one of exception. It evaluate
"new_type == start_migratetype" even if tracepoint is disabled.
However, the code can be moved into tracepoint's TP_fast_assign() and
TP_fast_assign exist exactly such purpose. This patch does it.

Currently, set_pageblock_migratetype() screws up MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is true. It rewrites
the argument to MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE and we lost these attribute.
The problem was introduced by commit 49255c619fbd ("page allocator: move
check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath"). So a 4 year
old issue may mean that nobody uses page_group_by_mobility_disabled.
But anyway, this patch fixes the problem.

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.

It has been reported on very large machines that show_mem is taking almost
5 minutes to display information. This is a serious problem if there is
an OOM storm. The bulk of the cost is in show_mem doing a very expensive
PFN walk to give us the following information
Total RAM: Also available as totalram_pages
Highmem pages: Also available as totalhigh_pages
Reserved pages: Can be inferred from the zone structure
Shared pages: PFN walk required
Unshared pages: PFN walk required
Quick pages: Per-cpu walk required
Only the shared/unshared pages requires a full PFN walk but that
information is useless. It is also inaccurate as page pins of unshared
pages would be accounted for as shared. Even if the information was
accurate, I'm struggling to think how the shared/unshared information
could be useful for debugging OOM conditions. Maybe it was useful before
rmap existed when reclaiming shared pages was costly but it is less
relevant today.
The PFN walk could be optimised a bit but why bother as the information is
useless. This patch deletes the PFN walker and infers the total RAM,
highmem and reserved pages count from struct zone. It omits the
shared/unshared page usage on the grounds that it is useless. It also
corrects the reporting of HighMem as HighMem/MovableOnly as ZONE_MOVABLE
has similar problems to HighMem with respect to lowmem/highmem exhaustion.

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.

Memory reserved for crashkernel could be large. So we should not allocate
this memory bottom up from the end of kernel image.
When SRAT is parsed, we will be able to know which memory is hotpluggable,
and we can avoid allocating this memory for the kernel. So reorder
reserve_crashkernel() after SRAT is parsed.

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.
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.
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.
So direct memory mapping page tables setup is the case.
init_mem_mapping() is called before SRAT is parsed. To prevent page
tables being allocated within hotpluggable memory, we will use bottom-up
direction to allocate page tables from the end of kernel image to the
higher memory.
Note:
As for allocating page tables in lower memory, TJ said:
: This is an optional behavior which is triggered by a very specific kernel
: boot param, which I suspect is gonna need to stick around to support
: memory hotplug in the current setup unless we add another layer of address
: translation to support memory hotplug.
As for page tables may occupy too much lower memory if using 4K mapping
(CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and CONFIG_KMEMCHECK both disable using >4k
pages), TJ said:
: But as I said in the same paragraph, parsing SRAT earlier doesn't solve
: the problem in itself either. Ignoring the option if 4k mapping is
: required and memory consumption would be prohibitive should work, no?
: Something like that would be necessary if we're gonna worry about cases
: like this no matter how we implement it, but, frankly, I'm not sure this
: is something worth worrying about.

Create a new function memory_map_top_down to factor out of the top-down
direct memory mapping pagetable setup. This is also a preparation for the
following patch, which will introduce the bottom-up memory mapping. That
said, we will put the two ways of pagetable setup into separate functions,
and choose to use which way in init_mem_mapping, which makes the code more
clear.

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.

[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.

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. This is also true for the generic
arch_pick_mmap_layout() function. So this change is a no-op currently.

When there are processes heavily creating small files while sync(2) is
running, it can easily happen that quite some new files are created
between WB_SYNC_NONE and WB_SYNC_ALL pass of sync(2). That can happen
especially if there are several busy filesystems (remember that sync
traverses filesystems sequentially and waits in WB_SYNC_ALL phase on one
fs before starting it on another fs). Because WB_SYNC_ALL pass is slow
(e.g. causes a transaction commit and cache flush for each inode in
ext3), resulting sync(2) times are rather large.
The following script reproduces the problem:
function run_writers
{
for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do
mkdir $1/dir$i
for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do
dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null
done &
done
}
for dir in "$@"; do
run_writers $dir
done
sleep 40
time sync
Fix the problem by disregarding inodes dirtied after sync(2) was called
in the WB_SYNC_ALL pass. To allow for this, sync_inodes_sb() now takes
a time stamp when sync has started which is used for setting up work for
flusher threads.
To give some numbers, when above script is run on two ext4 filesystems
on simple SATA drive, the average sync time from 10 runs is 267.549
seconds with standard deviation 104.799426. With the patched kernel,
the average sync time from 10 runs is 2.995 seconds with standard
deviation 0.096.

Soft dirty bit allows us to track which pages are written since the last
clear_ref (by "echo 4 > /proc/pid/clear_refs".) This is useful for
userspace applications to know their memory footprints.
Note that the kernel exposes this flag via bit[55] of /proc/pid/pagemap,
and the semantics is not a default one (scheduled to be the default in the
near future.) However, it shifts to the new semantics at the first
clear_ref, and the users of soft dirty bit always do it before utilizing
the bit, so that's not a big deal. Users must avoid relying on the bit in
page-types before the first clear_ref.

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.

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).

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. So we can directly use predefined macro PAGES_PER_SECTION
instead of passing the parameter.

This change adds the "hierarchical_" stats to the existing stats. The
new hierarchical stats include the sum of all children's values in
addition to the value of the memcg.
Tested: Create cgroup a, a/b and run workload under b. The values of
b are included in the "hierarchical_*" under 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);
}
}
