Compaction scanners regularly check for lock contention and need_resched()
through the compact_checklock_irqsave() function. However, if there is no
contention, the lock can be held and IRQ disabled for potentially long
time.
This has been addressed by commit b2eef8c0d0 ("mm: compaction: minimise
the time IRQs are disabled while isolating pages for migration") for the
migration scanner. However, the refactoring done by commit 2a1402aa04
("mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lru_lock as late as possible") has
changed the conditions so that the lock is dropped only when there's
contention on the lock or need_resched() is true. Also, need_resched() is
checked only when the lock is already held. The comment "give a chance to
irqs before checking need_resched" is therefore misleading, as IRQs remain
disabled when the check is done.
This patch restores the behavior intended by commit b2eef8c0d0 and also
tries to better balance and make more deterministic the time spent by
checking for contention vs the time the scanners might run between the
checks. It also avoids situations where checking has not been done often
enough before. The result should be avoiding both too frequent and too
infrequent contention checking, and especially the potentially
long-running scans with IRQs disabled and no checking of need_resched() or
for fatal signal pending, which can happen when many consecutive pages or
pageblocks fail the preliminary tests and do not reach the later call site
to compact_checklock_irqsave(), as explained below.
Before the patch:
In the migration scanner, compact_checklock_irqsave() was called each
loop, if reached. If not reached, some lower-frequency checking could
still be done if the lock was already held, but this would not result in
aborting contended async compaction until reaching
compact_checklock_irqsave() or end of pageblock. In the free scanner, it
was similar but completely without the periodical checking, so lock can be
potentially held until reaching the end of pageblock.
After the patch, in both scanners:
The periodical check is done as the first thing in the loop on each
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX aligned pfn, using the new compact_unlock_should_abort()
function, which always unlocks the lock (if locked) and aborts async
compaction if scheduling is needed. It also aborts any type of compaction
when a fatal signal is pending.
The compact_checklock_irqsave() function is replaced with a slightly
different compact_trylock_irqsave(). The biggest difference is that the
function is not called at all if the lock is already held. The periodical
need_resched() checking is left solely to compact_unlock_should_abort().
The lock contention avoidance for async compaction is achieved by the
periodical unlock by compact_unlock_should_abort() and by using trylock in
compact_trylock_irqsave() and aborting when trylock fails. Sync
compaction does not use trylock.

Async compaction aborts when it detects zone lock contention or
need_resched() is true. David Rientjes has reported that in practice,
most direct async compactions for THP allocation abort due to
need_resched(). This means that a second direct compaction is never
attempted, which might be OK for a page fault, but khugepaged is intended
to attempt a sync compaction in such case and in these cases it won't.
This patch replaces "bool contended" in compact_control with an int that
distinguishes between aborting due to need_resched() and aborting due to
lock contention. This allows propagating the abort through all compaction
functions as before, but passing the abort reason up to
__alloc_pages_slowpath() which decides when to continue with direct
reclaim and another compaction attempt.
Another problem is that try_to_compact_pages() did not act upon the
reported contention (both need_resched() or lock contention) immediately
and would proceed with another zone from the zonelist. When
need_resched() is true, that means initializing another zone compaction,
only to check again need_resched() in isolate_migratepages() and aborting.
For zone lock contention, the unintended consequence is that the lock
contended status reported back to the allocator is detrmined from the last
zone where compaction was attempted, which is rather arbitrary.
This patch fixes the problem in the following way:
- async compaction of a zone aborting due to need_resched() or fatal signal
pending means that further zones should not be tried. We report
COMPACT_CONTENDED_SCHED to the allocator.
- aborting zone compaction due to lock contention means we can still try
another zone, since it has different set of locks. We report back
COMPACT_CONTENDED_LOCK only if *all* zones where compaction was attempted,
it was aborted due to lock contention.
As a result of these fixes, khugepaged will proceed with second sync
compaction as intended, when the preceding async compaction aborted due to
need_resched(). Page fault compactions aborting due to need_resched()
will spare some cycles previously wasted by initializing another zone
compaction only to abort again. Lock contention will be reported only
when compaction in all zones aborted due to lock contention, and therefore
it's not a good idea to try again after reclaim.
In stress-highalloc from mmtests configured to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, this
has improved number of THP collapse allocations by 10%, which shows
positive effect on khugepaged. The benchmark's success rates are
unchanged as it is not recognized as khugepaged. Numbers of compact_stall
and compact_fail events have however decreased by 20%, with
compact_success still a bit improved, which is good. With benchmark
configured not to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, there is 6% improvement in THP
collapse allocations, and only slight improvement in stalls and failures.

The unification of the migrate and free scanner families of function has
highlighted a difference in how the scanners ensure they only isolate
pages of the intended zone. This is important for taking zone lock or lru
lock of the correct zone. Due to nodes overlapping, it is however
possible to encounter a different zone within the range of the zone being
compacted.
The free scanner, since its inception by commit 748446bb6b ("mm:
compaction: memory compaction core"), has been checking the zone of the
first valid page in a pageblock, and skipping the whole pageblock if the
zone does not match.
This checking was completely missing from the migration scanner at first,
and later added by commit dc9086004b ("mm: compaction: check for
overlapping nodes during isolation for migration") in a reaction to a bug
report. But the zone comparison in migration scanner is done once per a
single scanned page, which is more defensive and thus more costly than a
check per pageblock.
This patch unifies the checking done in both scanners to once per
pageblock, through a new pageblock_pfn_to_page() function, which also
includes pfn_valid() checks. It is more defensive than the current free
scanner checks, as it checks both the first and last page of the
pageblock, but less defensive by the migration scanner per-page checks.
It assumes that node overlapping may result (on some architecture) in a
boundary between two nodes falling into the middle of a pageblock, but
that there cannot be a node0 node1 node0 interleaving within a single
pageblock.
The result is more code being shared and a bit less per-page CPU cost in
the migration scanner.

isolate_migratepages_range() is the main function of the compaction
scanner, called either on a single pageblock by isolate_migratepages()
during regular compaction, or on an arbitrary range by CMA's
__alloc_contig_migrate_range(). It currently perfoms two pageblock-wide
compaction suitability checks, and because of the CMA callpath, it tracks
if it crossed a pageblock boundary in order to repeat those checks.
However, closer inspection shows that those checks are always true for CMA:
- isolation_suitable() is true because CMA sets cc->ignore_skip_hint to true
- migrate_async_suitable() check is skipped because CMA uses sync compaction
We can therefore move the compaction-specific checks to
isolate_migratepages() and simplify isolate_migratepages_range().
Furthermore, we can mimic the freepage scanner family of functions, which
has isolate_freepages_block() function called both by compaction from
isolate_freepages() and by CMA from isolate_freepages_range(), where each
use-case adds own specific glue code. This allows further code
simplification.
Thus, we rename isolate_migratepages_range() to
isolate_migratepages_block() and limit its functionality to a single
pageblock (or its subset). For CMA, a new different
isolate_migratepages_range() is created as a CMA-specific wrapper for the
_block() function. The checks specific to compaction are moved to
isolate_migratepages(). As part of the unification of these two families
of functions, we remove the redundant zone parameter where applicable,
since zone pointer is already passed in cc->zone.
Furthermore, going back to compact_zone() and compact_finished() when
pageblock is found unsuitable (now by isolate_migratepages()) is wasteful
- the checks are meant to skip pageblocks quickly. The patch therefore
also introduces a simple loop into isolate_migratepages() so that it does
not return immediately on failed pageblock checks, but keeps going until
isolate_migratepages_range() gets called once. Similarily to
isolate_freepages(), the function periodically checks if it needs to
reschedule or abort async compaction.

isolate_freepages_block() rechecks if the pageblock is suitable to be a
target for migration after it has taken the zone->lock. However, the
check has been optimized to occur only once per pageblock, and
compact_checklock_irqsave() might be dropping and reacquiring lock, which
means somebody else might have changed the pageblock's migratetype
meanwhile.
Furthermore, nothing prevents the migratetype to change right after
isolate_freepages_block() has finished isolating. Given how imperfect
this is, it's simpler to just rely on the check done in
isolate_freepages() without lock, and not pretend that the recheck under
lock guarantees anything. It is just a heuristic after all.

The compact_stall vmstat counter counts the number of allocations stalled
by direct compaction. It does not count when all attempted zones had
deferred compaction, but it does count when all zones skipped compaction.
The skipping is decided based on very early check of
compaction_suitable(), based on watermarks and memory fragmentation.
Therefore it makes sense not to count skipped compactions as stalls.
Moreover, compact_success or compact_fail is also already not being
counted when compaction was skipped, so this patch changes the
compact_stall counting to match the other two.
Additionally, restructure __alloc_pages_direct_compact() code for better
readability.

When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred
for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async.
Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further
unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period.
Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on
the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction. But
compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so
the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1)
compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite
good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below:
1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set
deferred compaction for the Normal zone. Another unrelated direct
compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32
zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone.
In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to
compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not
defer compaction. In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which
will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32
directly.
2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on
watermarks looking good. A direct compaction with preferred Normal
zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal
was still deferred. The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but
won't.
This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis
instead of preferred zone. For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred()
to decide if the zone should be skipped. If watermarks fail after
compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called. The zone where
watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is
unsuccessful. When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is
called for the zone containing the allocated page. This approach should
approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was
attempted and did not yield allocated page. There might be corner cases
but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not
guarantee that a page will be allocated.
Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying
implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made
more accurate. The did_some_progress output parameter of
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller
actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered
when direct reclaim sets it.
During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone
on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc
mmtests benchmark. The success here were previously made worse by commit
3a025760fc ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking
kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred
compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus
not considered for compaction. On different machine, success rates were
improved with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations.

When allocating huge page for collapsing, khugepaged currently holds
mmap_sem for reading on the mm where collapsing occurs. Afterwards the
read lock is dropped before write lock is taken on the same mmap_sem.
Holding mmap_sem during whole huge page allocation is therefore useless,
the vma needs to be rechecked after taking the write lock anyway.
Furthemore, huge page allocation might involve a rather long sync
compaction, and thus block any mmap_sem writers and i.e. affect workloads
that perform frequent m(un)map or mprotect oterations.
This patch simply releases the read lock before allocating a huge page.
It also deletes an outdated comment that assumed vma must be stable, as it
was using alloc_hugepage_vma(). This is no longer true since commit

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/348441/
Those two patches removes this limit letting kernel to put default CMA
region into high memory when this is possible (there is enough high memory
available and architecture specific DMA limit fits).
This should solve strange OOM issues on systems with lots of RAM (i.e.
>1GiB) and large (>256M) CMA area.
This patch (of 2):
Automatically allocated regions should not cross low/high memory boundary,
because such regions cannot be later correctly initialized due to spanning
across two memory zones. This patch adds a check for this case and a
simple code for moving region to low memory if automatically selected

arm and put it in a common location to reduce code duplication.
As part of this, the arm APIs are now migrated away from
ioremap_page_range to the common APIs which use map_vm_area for remapping.
This should be an equivalent change and using map_vm_area is more correct
as ioremap_page_range is intended to bring in io addresses into the cpu

ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented
_PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE. This saved using an additional PTE bit and
relied on the fact that PROT_NONE vmas were skipped by the NUMA hinting
fault scanner. This was found to be conceptually confusing with a lot of
implicit assumptions and it was asked that an alternative be found.
Commit c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the
PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap PTE
bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far
enough. There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA
but the relics still exist.
This patch removes ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE and removes some unnecessary
duplication in powerpc vs the generic implementation by defining the types
the core NUMA helpers expected to exist from x86 with their ppc64
equivalent. This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that
identified the bits that distinguish present from NUMA pte entries but it
is expected this will only differ between arches based on _PAGE_PROTNONE.
The naming for the generic helpers was taken from x86 originally but ppc64
has types that are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are
mapped instead of duplicating code.

Currently memory-hotplug has two limits:

2. If the memory block is in ZONE_MOVABLE, you can change it to

With this patch, we can easy to know a memory block can be onlined to
which zone, and don't need to know the above two limits.

Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really
complicated. We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the
kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation
through SLAB is impossible.
On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way. It uses
percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg
problem.
So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB. This simplifies the
initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more
easily.
In my testing there is no performance difference.
This implementation relies on percpu allocator. Because percpu allocator
uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by
this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel. This implementation
can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation.
Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches *
120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB
Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) *
80 objects per cpu_cache = 46 MB

Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation. If new creating slab
have similar size and property with exsitent slab, this feature reuse it
rather than creating new one. As a result, objects are packed into fewer
slabs so that fragmentation is reduced.
Below is result of my testing.
* After boot, sleep 20; cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab
<Before>
Slab: 25136 kB
<After>
Slab: 24364 kB
We can save 3% memory used by slab.
For supporting this feature in SLAB, we need to implement SLAB specific
kmem_cache_flag() and __kmem_cache_alias(), because SLUB implements some
SLUB specific processing related to debug flag and object size change on
these functions.

Anton noticed (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html) that
on ppc LPARs with memoryless nodes, a large amount of memory was consumed
by slabs and was marked unreclaimable. He tracked it down to slab
deactivations in the SLUB core when we allocate remotely, leading to poor
efficiency always when memoryless nodes are present.
After much discussion, Joonsoo provided a few patches that help
significantly. They don't resolve the problem altogether:
- memory hotplug still needs testing, that is when a memoryless node
becomes memory-ful, we want to dtrt
- there are other reasons for going off-node than memoryless nodes,
e.g., fully exhausted local nodes
Neither case is resolved with this series, but I don't think that should
block their acceptance, as they can be explored/resolved with follow-on
patches.
The series consists of:
[1/3] topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the
fallback node
[2/3] slub: fallback to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on
memoryless node
- Joonsoo's patches to cache the nearest node with memory for each
NUMA node
[3/3] Partial revert of 81c98869fa (""kthread: ensure locality of
task_struct allocations")
- At Tejun's request, keep the knowledge of memoryless node fallback
to the allocator core.
This patch (of 3):
We need to determine the fallback node in slub allocator if the allocation
target node is memoryless node. Without it, the SLUB wrongly select the
node which has no memory and can't use a partial slab, because of node
mismatch. Introduced function, node_to_mem_node(X), will return a node Y
with memory that has the nearest distance. If X is memoryless node, it
will return nearest distance node, but, if X is normal node, it will
return itself.
We will use this function in following patch to determine the fallback
node.

Now, we track caller if tracing or slab debugging is enabled. If they are
disabled, we could save one argument passing overhead by calling
__kmalloc(_node)(). But, I think that it would be marginal. Furthermore,
default slab allocator, SLUB, doesn't use this technique so I think that
it's okay to change this situation.

this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may

After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full

On some ARCHs modules range is eauql to vmalloc range. E.g on i686
"#define MODULES_VADDR VMALLOC_START"
"#define MODULES_END VMALLOC_END"
This will cause 2 duplicate program segments in /proc/kcore, and no flag
to indicate they are different. This is confusing. And usually people
who need check the elf header or read the content of kcore will check
memory ranges. Two program segments which are the same are unnecessary.
So check if the modules range is equal to vmalloc range. If so, just skip
adding the modules range.

However, it also checks that m_next_vma(vma) != NULL, otherwise it

m_start() can simply do find_vma() + m_next_vma() if last_addr is

Now that m->version is gone we can cleanup m_start(). In particular,
- Remove the "unsigned long" typecast, m->index can't be negative
or exceed ->map_count. But lets use "unsigned int pos" to make
it clear that "pos < map_count" is safe.
- Remove the unnecessary "vma != NULL" check in the main loop. It
can't be NULL unless we have a vm bug.
- This also means that "pos < map_count" case can simply return the
valid vma and avoid "goto" and subsequent checks.

m_start() carefully documents, checks, and sets "m->version = -1" if
we are going to return NULL. The only problem is that we will be never
called again if m_start() returns NULL, so this is simply pointless
and misleading.
Otoh, ->show() methods m->version = 0 if vma == tail_vma and this is
just wrong, we want -1 in this case. And in fact we also want -1 if
->vm_next == NULL and ->tail_vma == NULL.
And it is not used consistently, the "scan vmas" loop in m_start()
should update last_addr too.
Finally, imo the whole "last_addr" logic in m_start() looks horrible.
find_vma(last_addr) is called unconditionally even if we are not going
to use the result. But the main problem is that this code participates
in tail_vma-or-NULL mess, and this looks simply unfixable.
Remove this optimization. We will add it back after some cleanups.

1. There is no reason to reset ->tail_vma in m_start(), if we return
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() it won't be used.
2. m_start() also clears priv->task to ensure that m_stop() won't use
the stale pointer if we fail before get_task_struct(). But this is
ugly and confusing, move this initialization in m_stop().

1. Kill the first "vma != NULL" check. Firstly this is not possible,
m_next() won't be called if ->start() or the previous ->next()
returns NULL.
And if it was possible the 2nd "vma != tail_vma" check is buggy,
we should not wrongly return ->tail_vma.
2. Make this function readable. The logic is very simple, we should
return check "vma != tail" once and return "vm_next || tail_vma".

m_start() drops ->mmap_sem and does mmput() if it retuns vsyscall
vma. This is because in this case m_stop()->vma_stop() obviously
can't use gate_vma->vm_mm.
Now that we have proc_maps_private->mm we can simplify this logic:
- Change m_start() to return with ->mmap_sem held unless it returns
IS_ERR_OR_NULL().
- Change vma_stop() to use priv->mm and avoid the ugly vma checks,
this makes "vm_area_struct *vma" unnecessary.
- This also allows m_start() to use vm_stop().
- Cleanup m_next() to follow the new locking rule.
Note: m_stop() looks very ugly, and this temporary uglifies it
even more. Fixed by the next change.
