mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled while isolating free pages compaction_alloc() isolates free pages to be used as migration targets. While its scanning, IRQs are disabled on the mistaken assumption the scanning should be short. Analysis showed that IRQs were in fact being disabled for substantial time. A simple test was run using large anonymous mappings with transparent hugepage support enabled to trigger frequent compactions. A monitor sampled what the worst IRQ-off latencies were and a post-processing tool found the following; Total sampled time IRQs off (not real total time): 22355 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 8409 us count 1 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 7341 us count 1 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 2463 us count 1 Event compaction_alloc..compaction_alloc 2054 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1864 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 88 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 36 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 35 us count 2 Event __make_request..__blk_run_queue 24 us count 1 Event __alloc_pages_nodemask..__alloc_pages_nodemask 6 us count 1 i.e. compaction is disabled IRQs for a prolonged period of time - 8ms in one instance. The full report generated by the tool can be found at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/minfree-20110225/irqsoff-vanilla-micro.report This patch reduces the time IRQs are disabled by simply disabling IRQs at the last possible minute. An updated IRQs-off summary report then looks like; Total sampled time IRQs off (not real total time): 5493 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1596 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 1530 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 956 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 541 us count 1 Event shrink_inactive_list..shrink_zone 531 us count 1 Event split_huge_page..add_to_swap 232 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 36 us count 1 Event save_args..call_softirq 35 us count 2 Event __wake_up..__wake_up 1 us count 1 A full report is again available at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/minfree-20110225/irqsoff-minimiseirq-free-v1r4-micro.report As should be obvious, IRQ disabled latencies due to compaction are almost elimimnated for this particular test.

mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled while isolating pages for migration compaction_alloc() isolates pages for migration in isolate_migratepages. While it's scanning, IRQs are disabled on the mistaken assumption the scanning should be short. Tests show this to be true for the most part but contention times on the LRU lock can be increased.

mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash.

The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

mm: compaction: check for overlapping nodes during isolation for migration When isolating pages for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone while the free scanner starts at the end of the zone. Migration avoids entering a new zone by never going beyond the free scanned. Unfortunately, in very rare cases nodes can overlap. When this happens, migration isolates pages without the LRU lock held, corrupting lists which will trigger errors in reclaim or during page free such as in the following oops BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffff810f795c>] free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 PGD 1dda554067 PUD 1e1cb58067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 37 Pid: 17088, comm: memcg_process_s Tainted: G X RIP: free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 Process memcg_process_s (pid: 17088, threadinfo ffff881c2926e000, task ffff881c2926c0c0) Call Trace: free_hot_cold_page+0x17e/0x1f0 __pagevec_free+0x90/0xb0 release_pages+0x22a/0x260 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xf3/0x110 putback_lru_page+0x66/0xe0 unmap_and_move+0x156/0x180 migrate_pages+0x9e/0x1b0 compact_zone+0x1f3/0x2f0 compact_zone_order+0xa2/0xe0 try_to_compact_pages+0xdf/0x110 __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0xee/0x1c0 __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x370/0x830 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1b1/0x1c0 alloc_pages_vma+0x9b/0x160 do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page+0x160/0x270 do_page_fault+0x207/0x4c0 page_fault+0x25/0x30 The "X" in the taint flag means that external modules were loaded but but is unrelated to the bug triggering.

mm: compaction: check for overlapping nodes during isolation for migration When isolating pages for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone while the free scanner starts at the end of the zone. Migration avoids entering a new zone by never going beyond the free scanned. Unfortunately, in very rare cases nodes can overlap. When this happens, migration isolates pages without the LRU lock held, corrupting lists which will trigger errors in reclaim or during page free such as in the following oops BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffff810f795c>] free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 PGD 1dda554067 PUD 1e1cb58067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 37 Pid: 17088, comm: memcg_process_s Tainted: G X RIP: free_pcppages_bulk+0xcc/0x450 Process memcg_process_s (pid: 17088, threadinfo ffff881c2926e000, task ffff881c2926c0c0) Call Trace: free_hot_cold_page+0x17e/0x1f0 __pagevec_free+0x90/0xb0 release_pages+0x22a/0x260 pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xf3/0x110 putback_lru_page+0x66/0xe0 unmap_and_move+0x156/0x180 migrate_pages+0x9e/0x1b0 compact_zone+0x1f3/0x2f0 compact_zone_order+0xa2/0xe0 try_to_compact_pages+0xdf/0x110 __alloc_pages_direct_compact+0xee/0x1c0 __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x370/0x830 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1b1/0x1c0 alloc_pages_vma+0x9b/0x160 do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page+0x160/0x270 do_page_fault+0x207/0x4c0 page_fault+0x25/0x30 The "X" in the taint flag means that external modules were loaded but but is unrelated to the bug triggering.

mm: compaction: prevent kswapd compacting memory to reduce CPU usage This patch reverts 5a03b051 ("thp: use compaction in kswapd for GFP_ATOMIC order > 0") due to reports stating that kswapd CPU usage was higher and IRQs were being disabled more frequently. This was reported at http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09885.html. Without this patch applied, CPU usage by kswapd hovers around the 20% mark according to the tester (Arthur Marsh: http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg09899.html). With this patch applied, it's around 2%. The problem is not related to THP which specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD but is triggered by high-order allocations hitting the low watermark for their order and waking kswapd on kernels with CONFIG_COMPACTION set. The most common trigger for this is network cards configured for jumbo frames but it's also possible it'll be triggered by fork-heavy workloads (order-1) and some wireless cards which depend on order-1 allocations. The symptoms for the user will be high CPU usage by kswapd in low-memory situations which could be confused with another writeback problem. While a patch like 5a03b051 may be reintroduced in the future, this patch plays it safe for now and reverts it.
