Currently, the vm.min_free_kbytes sysctl value is capped at a hardcoded
64M in init_per_zone_wmark_min (unless it is overridden by khugepaged
initialization).
This value has not been modified since 2005, and enterprise-grade systems
now frequently have hundreds of GB of RAM and multiple 10, 40, or even 100
GB NICs. We have seen page allocation failures on heavily loaded systems
related to NIC drivers. These issues were resolved by an increase to
vm.min_free_kbytes.
This patch increases the hardcoded value by a factor of 4 as a temporary
solution.
Further work to make the calculation of vm.min_free_kbytes more consistent
throughout the kernel would be desirable.
As an example of the inconsistency of the current method, this value is
recalculated by init_per_zone_wmark_min() in the case of memory hotplug
which will override the value set by set_recommended_min_free_kbytes()
called during khugepaged initialization even if khugepaged remains
enabled, however an on/off toggle of khugepaged will then recalculate and
set the value via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().

For huge pages (and in fact, any compound page), the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS
scheme tends to overflow too easily, each tail page increments the head
page->_refcount by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS (1024). That limits the number
of huge pages that can be pinned.
This patch removes that limitation, by using an exact form of pin counting
for compound pages of order > 1. The "order > 1" is required because this
approach uses the 3rd struct page in the compound page, and order 1
compound pages only have two pages, so that won't work there.
A new struct page field, hpage_pinned_refcount, has been added, replacing
a padding field in the union (so no new space is used).
This enhancement also has a useful side effect: huge pages and compound
pages (of order > 1) do not suffer from the "potential false positives"
problem that is discussed in the page_dma_pinned() comment block. That is
because these compound pages have extra space for tracking things, so they
get exact pin counts instead of overloading page->_refcount.
Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst is updated accordingly.

This reverts commit ad2c814441.
The function node_to_mem_node() was introduced by that commit for use in SLUB
on systems with memoryless nodes, but it turned out to be unreliable on some
architectures/configurations and a simpler solution exists than fixing it up.
Thus commit 0715e6c516 ("mm, slub: prevent kmalloc_node crashes and
memory leaks") removed the only user of node_to_mem_node() and we can
revert the commit that introduced the function.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones before removing memory", v6.
This series fixes the access of uninitialized memmaps when shrinking
zones/nodes and when removing memory. Also, it contains all fixes for
crashes that can be triggered when removing certain namespace using
memunmap_pages() - ZONE_DEVICE, reported by Aneesh.
We stop trying to shrink ZONE_DEVICE, as it's buggy, fixing it would be
more involved (we don't have SECTION_IS_ONLINE as an indicator), and
shrinking is only of limited use (set_zone_contiguous() cannot detect the
ZONE_DEVICE as contiguous).
We continue shrinking !ZONE_DEVICE zones, however, I reduced the amount of
code to a minimum. Shrinking is especially necessary to keep
zone->contiguous set where possible, especially, on memory unplug of DIMMs
at zone boundaries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zones are now properly shrunk when offlining memory blocks or when
onlining failed. This allows to properly shrink zones on memory unplug
even if the separate memory blocks of a DIMM were onlined to different
zones or re-onlined to a different zone after offlining.
Example:
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable
spanned 0
present 0
managed 0
:/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/state
:/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/state
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable
spanned 98304
present 65536
managed 65536
:/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/online
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable
spanned 32768
present 32768
managed 32768
:/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/online
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable

Let's move it to the header and use the shorter variant from
mm/page_alloc.c (the original one will also check
"__highest_present_section_nr + 1", which is not necessary). While at
it, make the section_nr in next_pfn() const.
In next_pfn(), we now return section_nr_to_pfn(-1) instead of -1 once we
exceed __highest_present_section_nr, which doesn't make a difference in
the caller as it is big enough (>= all sane end_pfn).

Let's update the pfn manually whenever we continue the loop. This makes
the code easier to read but also less error prone (and we can directly fix
one issue).
When overlap_memmap_init() returns true, pfn is updated to
"memblock_region_memory_end_pfn(r)". So it already points at the *next*
pfn to process. Incrementing the pfn another time is wrong, we might
leave one uninitialized. I spotted this by inspecting the code, so I have
no idea if this is relevant in practise (with kernelcore=mirror).

Let's make sure that all memory holes are actually marked PageReserved(),
that page_to_pfn() produces reliable results, and that these pages are not
detected as "mmap" pages due to the mapcount.
E.g., booting a x86-64 QEMU guest with 4160 MB:
[ 0.010585] Early memory node ranges
[ 0.010586] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff]
[ 0.010588] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdefff]
[ 0.010589] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000000143ffffff]
max_pfn is 0x144000.
Before this change:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000,
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000000000800 16384 64 ___________M_______________________________ mmap
total 16384 64
After this change:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -r -a 0x144000,
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000100000000 16384 64 ___________________________r_______________ reserved
total 16384 64
IOW, especially the unavailable physical memory ("memory hole") in the
last section would not get properly marked PageReserved() and is indicated
to be "mmap" memory.
Drop the trace of that function from include/linux/mm.h - nobody else
needs it, and rename it accordingly.
Note: The fake zone/node might not be covered by the zone/node span. This
is not an urgent issue (for now, we had the same node/zone due to the
zeroing). We'll need a clean way to mark memory holes (e.g., using a page
type PageHole() if possible or a fake ZONE_INVALID) and eventually stop
marking these memory holes PageReserved().

Patch series "mm: fix max_pfn not falling on section boundary", v2.
Playing with different memory sizes for a x86-64 guest, I discovered that
some memmaps (highest section if max_mem does not fall on the section
boundary) are marked as being valid and online, but contain garbage. We
have to properly initialize these memmaps.
Looking at /proc/kpageflags and friends, I found some more issues,
partially related to this.
This patch (of 3):
If max_pfn is not aligned to a section boundary, we can easily run into
BUGs. This can e.g., be triggered on x86-64 under QEMU by specifying a
memory size that is not a multiple of 128MB (e.g., 4097MB, but also
4160MB). I was told that on real HW, we can easily have this scenario
(esp., one of the main reasons sub-section hotadd of devmem was added).
The issue is, that we have a valid memmap (pfn_valid()) for the whole
section, and the whole section will be marked "online".
pfn_to_online_page() will succeed, but the memmap contains garbage.
E.g., doing a "./page-types -r -a 0x144001" when QEMU was started with "-m
4160M" - (see tools/vm/page-types.c):

This patch fixes that by at least zero-ing out that memmap (so e.g.,
page_to_pfn() will not crash). Commit 907ec5fca3 ("mm: zero remaining
unavailable struct pages") tried to fix a similar issue, but forgot to
consider this special case.
After this patch, there are still problems to solve. E.g., not all of
these pages falling into a memory hole will actually get initialized later
and set PageReserved - they are only zeroed out - but at least the
immediate crashes are gone. A follow-up patch will take care of this.

It is not that hard to trigger lockdep splats by calling printk from
under zone->lock. Most of them are false positives caused by lock
chains introduced early in the boot process and they do not cause any
real problems (although most of the early boot lock dependencies could
happen after boot as well). There are some console drivers which do
allocate from the printk context as well and those should be fixed. In
any case, false positives are not that trivial to workaround and it is
far from optimal to lose lockdep functionality for something that is a
non-issue.
So change has_unmovable_pages() so that it no longer calls dump_page()
itself - instead it returns a "struct page *" of the unmovable page back
to the caller so that in the case of a has_unmovable_pages() failure,
the caller can call dump_page() after releasing zone->lock. Also, make
dump_page() is able to report a CMA page as well, so the reason string
from has_unmovable_pages() can be removed.
Even though has_unmovable_pages doesn't hold any reference to the
returned page this should be reasonably safe for the purpose of
reporting the page (dump_page) because it cannot be hotremoved in the
context of memory unplug. The state of the page might change but that
is the case even with the existing code as zone->lock only plays role
for free pages.
While at it, remove a similar but unnecessary debug-only printk() as
well. A sample of one of those lockdep splats is,

memmap_init_zone() can be called on the ranges with holes during the
boot. It will skip any non-valid PFNs one-by-one. It works fine as
long as holes are not too big.
But huge holes in the memory map causes a problem. It takes over 20
seconds to walk 32TiB hole. x86-64 with 5-level paging allows for much
larger holes in the memory map which would practically hang the system.
Deferred struct page init doesn't help here. It only works on the
present ranges.
Skipping non-present sections would fix the issue.

Commit 96a2b03f28 ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable
debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when
debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the
assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param()
as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed,
it is safe to enable the static key.
However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param()
earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even
earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not
true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with
debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA.
To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple
architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion
from 96a2b03f28. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch
code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool
variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new
debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key,
which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's
guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of
architecture.

THP page faults now attempt a __GFP_THISNODE allocation first, which
should only compact existing free memory, followed by another attempt
that can allocate from any node using reclaim/compaction effort
specified by global defrag setting and madvise.
This patch makes the following changes to the scheme:
- Before the patch, the first allocation relies on a check for
pageblock order and __GFP_IO to prevent excessive reclaim. This
however affects also the second attempt, which is not limited to
single node.
Instead of that, reuse the existing check for costly order
__GFP_NORETRY allocations, and make sure the first THP attempt uses
__GFP_NORETRY. As a side-effect, all costly order __GFP_NORETRY
allocations will bail out if compaction needs reclaim, while
previously they only bailed out when compaction was deferred due to
previous failures.
This should be still acceptable within the __GFP_NORETRY semantics.
- Before the patch, the second allocation attempt (on all nodes) was
passing __GFP_NORETRY. This is redundant as the check for pageblock
order (discussed above) was stronger. It's also contrary to
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) which means some effort to allocate THP is
requested.
After this patch, the second attempt doesn't pass __GFP_THISNODE nor
__GFP_NORETRY.
To sum up, THP page faults now try the following attempts:
1. local node only THP allocation with no reclaim, just compaction.
2. for madvised VMA's or when synchronous compaction is enabled always - THP
allocation from any node with effort determined by global defrag setting
and VMA madvise
3. fallback to base pages on any node

There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being
used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes -
especially when it comes to global reclaim.
How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the
root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled
in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec.
Document that in a comment.
Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the
mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the
right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the
pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper
that suggests it's a commonly accessed member.
While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name
suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second.
I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

HugeTLB helper alloc_gigantic_page() implements fairly generic
allocation method where it scans over various zones looking for a large
contiguous pfn range before trying to allocate it with
alloc_contig_range().
Other than deriving the requested order from 'struct hstate', there is
nothing HugeTLB specific in there. This can be made available for
general use to allocate contiguous memory which could not have been
allocated through the buddy allocator.
alloc_gigantic_page() has been split carving out actual allocation
method which is then made available via new alloc_contig_pages() helper
wrapped under CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC. All references to 'gigantic' have
been replaced with more generic term 'contig'. Allocated pages here
should be freed with free_contig_range() or by calling __free_page() on
each allocated page.

We have two types of users of page isolation:
1. Memory offlining: Offline memory so it can be unplugged. Memory
won't be touched.
2. Memory allocation: Allocate memory (e.g., alloc_contig_range()) to
become the owner of the memory and make use of
it.
For example, in case we want to offline memory, we can ignore (skip
over) PageHWPoison() pages, as the memory won't get used. We can allow
to offline memory. In contrast, we don't want to allow to allocate such
memory.
Let's generalize the approach so we can special case other types of
pages we want to skip over in case we offline memory. While at it, also
pass the same flags to test_pages_isolated().

Patch series "mm: Memory offlining + page isolation cleanups", v2.
This patch (of 2):
We call __offline_isolated_pages() from __offline_pages() after all
pages were isolated and are either free (PageBuddy()) or PageHWPoison.
Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point.
In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections
offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as
invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk
over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the
isolated free lists, to be precise).
Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap
getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state. We already poision
the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to
stale/uninitialized memmaps.
So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful. The memap is
marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated. As soon as offline, the
memmap is stale either way.
This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the
memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set
PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).

While investigating a bug related to higher atomic allocation failures,
we noticed the failure warnings positively drowning the console, and in
our case trigger lockup warnings because of a serial console too slow to
handle all that output.
But even if we had a faster console, it's unclear what additional
information the current level of repetition provides.
Allocation failures happen for three reasons: The machine is OOM, the VM
is failing to handle reasonable requests, or somebody is making
unreasonable requests (and didn't acknowledge their opportunism with
__GFP_NOWARN). Having the memory dump, a callstack, and the ratelimit
stats on skipped failure warnings should provide enough information to
let users/admins/developers know whether something is wrong and point
them in the right direction for debugging, bpftracing etc.
Limit allocation failure warnings to one spew every ten seconds.

Deferred memory initialisation updates zone->managed_pages during the
initialisation phase but before that finishes, the per-cpu page
allocator (pcpu) calculates the number of pages allocated/freed in
batches as well as the maximum number of pages allowed on a per-cpu
list. As zone->managed_pages is not up to date yet, the pcpu
initialisation calculates inappropriately low batch and high values.
This increases zone lock contention quite severely in some cases with
the degree of severity depending on how many CPUs share a local zone and
the size of the zone. A private report indicated that kernel build
times were excessive with extremely high system CPU usage. A perf
profile indicated that a large chunk of time was lost on zone->lock
contention.
This patch recalculates the pcpu batch and high values after deferred
initialisation completes for every populated zone in the system. It was
tested on a 2-socket AMD EPYC 2 machine using a kernel compilation
workload -- allmodconfig and all available CPUs.
mmtests configuration: config-workload-kernbench-max Configuration was
modified to build on a fresh XFS partition.

Commit b39d0ee263 ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when
compaction may not succeed") has chnaged the allocator to bail out from
the allocator early to prevent from a potentially excessive memory
reclaim. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL is designed to retry the allocation,
reclaim and compaction loop as long as there is a reasonable chance to
make forward progress. Neither COMPACT_SKIPPED nor COMPACT_DEFERRED at
the INIT_COMPACT_PRIORITY compaction attempt gives this feedback.
The most obvious affected subsystem is hugetlbfs which allocates huge
pages based on an admin request (or via admin configured overcommit). I
have done a simple test which tries to allocate half of the memory for
hugetlb pages while the memory is full of a clean page cache. This is
not an unusual situation because we try to cache as much of the memory
as possible and sysctl/sysfs interface to allocate huge pages is there
for flexibility to allocate hugetlb pages at any time.
System has 1GB of RAM and we are requesting 515MB worth of hugetlb pages
after the memory is prefilled by a clean page cache:
root@test1:~# cat hugetlb_test.sh
set -x
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

The success rate went down by factor of 20!
Although hugetlb allocation requests might fail and it is reasonable to
expect them to under extremely fragmented memory or when the memory is
under a heavy pressure but the above situation is not that case.
Fix the regression by reverting back to the previous behavior for
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL requests and disable the beail out heuristic for
those requests.
Mike said:
: hugetlbfs allocations are commonly done via sysctl/sysfs shortly after
: boot where this may not be as much of an issue. However, I am aware of at
: least three use cases where allocations are made after the system has been
: up and running for quite some time:
:
: - DB reconfiguration. If sysctl/sysfs fails to get required number of
: huge pages, system is rebooted to perform allocation after boot.
:
: - VM provisioning. If unable get required number of huge pages, fall
: back to base pages.
:
: - An application that does not preallocate pool, but rather allocates
: pages at fault time for optimal NUMA locality.
:
: In all cases, I would expect b39d0ee263 to cause regressions and
: noticable behavior changes.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.
* emailed patches from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>:
mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised
mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed
Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""
Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:
- isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
starting at the end of a zone,
- failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above,
watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
no indication compaction can be successful), and
- if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
be pointless.
For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.
Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.
It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

A later patch makes THP deferred split shrinker memcg aware, but it needs
page->mem_cgroup information in THP destructor, which is called after
mem_cgroup_uncharge() now.
So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page
destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except
HugeTLB. And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

Patch series "Make deferred split shrinker memcg aware", v6.
Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause
premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would
run into premature OOM easily:
$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000
transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.
It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split
queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split
shrinker is not memcg aware.
Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's
deferred split queue too.
Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.
Make deferred split shrinker not depend on memcg kmem since it is not
slab. It doesn't make sense to not shrink THP even though memcg kmem is
disabled.
With the above change the test demonstrated above doesn't trigger OOM even
though with cgroup.memory=nokmem.
This patch (of 4):
Put split_queue, split_queue_lock and split_queue_len into a struct in
order to reduce code duplication when we convert deferred_split to memcg
aware in the later patches.

Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or
hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it
should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was
COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being
made."
The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in
should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible
on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the
priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete
compaction attempts.
With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or
should_compact_retry() returns false.
The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other
outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by
insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this
patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for
that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like
reclaim will be able to help.

using these interfaces are touched in the process. Beyond that a cleanup
to the page walker API and a few memremap related changes round out the

- General improvement of hmm_range_fault() and related APIs, more
documentation, bug fixes from testing, API simplification &
consolidation, and unused API removal
- Simplify the hmm related kconfigs to HMM_MIRROR and DEVICE_PRIVATE, and
make them internal kconfig selects
- Hoist a lot of code related to mmu notifier attachment out of drivers by
using a refcount get/put attachment idiom and remove the convoluted
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() and related APIs.
- General API improvement for the migrate_vma API and revision of its only
user in nouveau
- Annotate mmu_notifiers with lockdep and sleeping region debugging
Two series unrelated to HMM or mmu_notifiers came along due to
dependencies:
- Allow pagemap's memremap_pages family of APIs to work without providing
a struct device
- Make walk_page_range() and related use a constant structure for function

SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init()
for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops
(RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance
across domains that far apart.
However, as is rather unfortunately explained in:
commit 32e45ff43e ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30")
the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from
2011-era hardware.
Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances:
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32
1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32
2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32
3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32
4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16
5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16
6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16
7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10
where 2 hops is 32.
The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across
NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart.
For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4
(CPUs 32-39) like so,
$ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16
causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active
balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads
to node 4.
Override node_reclaim_distance for AMD Zen.

After commit 907ec5fca3 ("mm: zero remaining unavailable struct
pages"), struct page of reserved memory is zeroed. This causes
page->flags to be 0 and fixes issues related to reading
/proc/kpageflags, for example, of reserved memory.
The VM_BUG_ON() in move_freepages_block(), however, assumes that
page_zone() is meaningful even for reserved memory. That assumption is
no longer true after the aforementioned commit.
There's no reason why move_freepages_block() should be testing the
legitimacy of page_zone() for reserved memory; its scope is limited only
to pages on the zone's freelist.
Note that pfn_valid() can be true for reserved memory: there is a
backing struct page. The check for page_to_nid(page) is also buggy but
reserved memory normally only appears on node 0 so the zeroing doesn't
affect this.
Move the debug checks to after verifying PageBuddy is true. This
isolates the scope of the checks to only be for buddy pages which are on
the zone's freelist which move_freepages_block() is operating on. In
this case, an incorrect node or zone is a bug worthy of being warned
about (and the examination of struct page is acceptable bcause this
memory is not reserved).
Why does move_freepages_block() gets called on reserved memory? It's
simply math after finding a valid free page from the per-zone free area
to use as fallback. We find the beginning and end of the pageblock of
the valid page and that can bring us into memory that was reserved per
the e820. pfn_valid() is still true (it's backed by a struct page), but
since it's zero'd we shouldn't make any inferences here about comparing
its node or zone. The current node check just happens to succeed most
of the time by luck because reserved memory typically appears on node 0.
The fix here is to validate that we actually have buddy pages before
testing if there's any type of zone or node strangeness going on.
We noticed it almost immediately after bringing 907ec5fca3 in on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds. It depends on finding specific free pages in
the per-zone free area where the math in move_freepages() will bring the
start or end pfn into reserved memory and wanting to claim that entire
pageblock as a new migratetype. So the path will be rare, require
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, and require fallback to a different migratetype.
Some struct pages were already zeroed from reserve pages before
907ec5fca3c so it theoretically could trigger before this commit. I
think it's rare enough under a config option that most people don't run
that others may not have noticed. I wouldn't argue against a stable tag
and the backport should be easy enough, but probably wouldn't single out
a commit that this is fixing.
Mel said:
: The overhead of the debugging check is higher with this patch although
: it'll only affect debug builds and the path is not particularly hot.
: If this was a concern, I think it would be reasonable to simply remove
: the debugging check as the zone boundaries are checked in
: move_freepages_block and we never expect a zone/node to be smaller than
: a pageblock and stuck in the middle of another zone.

The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity.
For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting
arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System

It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as
some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section.
The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm
section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long
while.
A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it
solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the
namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1],
address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM'
before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.

Prepare for hot{plug,remove} of sub-ranges of a section by tracking a
sub-section active bitmask, each bit representing a PMD_SIZE span of the
architecture's memory hotplug section size.
The implications of a partially populated section is that pfn_valid()
needs to go beyond a valid_section() check and either determine that the
section is an "early section", or read the sub-section active ranges
from the bitmask. The expectation is that the bitmask (subsection_map)
fits in the same cacheline as the valid_section() / early_section()
data, so the incremental performance overhead to pfn_valid() should be
negligible.
The rationale for using early_section() to short-ciruit the
subsection_map check is that there are legacy code paths that use
pfn_valid() at section granularity before validating the pfn against
pgdat data. So, the early_section() check allows those traditional
assumptions to persist while also permitting subsection_map to tell the
truth for purposes of populating the unused portions of early sections
with PMEM and other ZONE_DEVICE mappings.

Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support", v10.
The memory hotplug section is an arbitrary / convenient unit for memory
hotplug. 'Section-size' units have bled into the user interface
('memblock' sysfs) and can not be changed without breaking existing
userspace. The section-size constraint, while mostly benign for typical
memory hotplug, has and continues to wreak havoc with 'device-memory'
use cases, persistent memory (pmem) in particular. Recall that pmem
uses devm_memremap_pages(), and subsequently arch_add_memory(), to
allocate a 'struct page' memmap for pmem. However, it does not use the
'bottom half' of memory hotplug, i.e. never marks pmem pages online and
never exposes the userspace memblock interface for pmem. This leaves an
opening to redress the section-size constraint.
To date, the libnvdimm subsystem has attempted to inject padding to
satisfy the internal constraints of arch_add_memory(). Beyond
complicating the code, leading to bugs [2], wasting memory, and limiting
configuration flexibility, the padding hack is broken when the platform
changes this physical memory alignment of pmem from one boot to the
next. Device failure (intermittent or permanent) and physical
reconfiguration are events that can cause the platform firmware to
change the physical placement of pmem on a subsequent boot, and device
failure is an everyday event in a data-center.
It turns out that sections are only a hard requirement of the
user-facing interface for memory hotplug and with a bit more
infrastructure sub-section arch_add_memory() support can be added for
kernel internal usages like devm_memremap_pages(). Here is an analysis
of the current design assumptions in the current code and how they are
addressed in the new implementation:
Current design assumptions:
- Sections that describe boot memory (early sections) are never
unplugged / removed.
- pfn_valid(), in the CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y, case devolves to a
valid_section() check
- __add_pages() and helper routines assume all operations occur in
PAGES_PER_SECTION units.
- The memblock sysfs interface only comprehends full sections
New design assumptions:
- Sections are instrumented with a sub-section bitmask to track (on
x86) individual 2MB sub-divisions of a 128MB section.
- Partially populated early sections can be extended with additional
sub-sections, and those sub-sections can be removed with
arch_remove_memory(). With this in place we no longer lose usable
memory capacity to padding.
- pfn_valid() is updated to look deeper than valid_section() to also
check the active-sub-section mask. This indication is in the same
cacheline as the valid_section() so the performance impact is
expected to be negligible. So far the lkp robot has not reported any
regressions.
- Outside of the core vmemmap population routines which are replaced,
other helper routines like shrink_{zone,pgdat}_span() are updated to
handle the smaller granularity. Core memory hotplug routines that
deal with online memory are not touched.
- The existing memblock sysfs user api guarantees / assumptions are not
touched since this capability is limited to !online
!memblock-sysfs-accessible sections.
Meanwhile the issue reports continue to roll in from users that do not
understand when and how the 128MB constraint will bite them. The current
implementation relied on being able to support at least one misaligned
namespace, but that immediately falls over on any moderately complex
namespace creation attempt. Beyond the initial problem of 'System RAM'
colliding with pmem, and the unsolvable problem of physical alignment
changes, Linux is now being exposed to platforms that collide pmem ranges
with other pmem ranges by default [3]. In short, devm_memremap_pages()
has pushed the venerable section-size constraint past the breaking point,
and the simplicity of section-aligned arch_add_memory() is no longer
tenable.
These patches are exposed to the kbuild robot on a subsection-v10 branch
[4], and a preview of the unit test for this functionality is available
on the 'subsection-pending' branch of ndctl [5].

This patch (of 13):
Towards enabling memory hotplug to track partial population of a section,
introduce 'struct mem_section_usage'.
A pointer to a 'struct mem_section_usage' instance replaces the existing
pointer to a 'pageblock_flags' bitmap. Effectively it adds one more
'unsigned long' beyond the 'pageblock_flags' (usemap) allocation to house
a new 'subsection_map' bitmap. The new bitmap enables the memory
hot{plug,remove} implementation to act on incremental sub-divisions of a
section.
SUBSECTION_SHIFT is defined as global constant instead of per-architecture
value like SECTION_SIZE_BITS in order to allow cross-arch compatibility of
subsection users. Specifically a common subsection size allows for the
possibility that persistent memory namespace configurations be made
compatible across architectures.
The primary motivation for this functionality is to support platforms that
mix "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" within a single section, or
multiple PMEM ranges with different mapping lifetimes within a single
section. The section restriction for hotplug has caused an ongoing saga
of hacks and bugs for devm_memremap_pages() users.
Beyond the fixups to teach existing paths how to retrieve the 'usemap'
from a section, and updates to usemap allocation path, there are no
expected behavior changes.

Patch series "mm/vmscan: calculate reclaimed slab in all reclaim paths".
This patchset is to fix the issues in doing shrink slab.
There're six different reclaim paths by now,
- kswapd reclaim path
- node reclaim path
- hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path
- direct reclaim path
- memcg reclaim path
- memcg softlimit reclaim path
The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the
above three paths. The issues are detailed explained in patch #2. We
should calculate the reclaimed slab caches in every reclaim path. In
order to do it, the struct reclaim_state is placed into the struct
shrink_control.
In node reclaim path, there'is another issue about shrinking slab, which
is adressed in "mm/vmscan: shrink slab in node reclaim"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1559874946-22960-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com/).
This patch (of 2):
The struct reclaim_state is used to record how many slab caches are
reclaimed in one reclaim path. The struct shrink_control is used to
control one reclaim path. So we'd better put reclaim_state into
shrink_control.

Improvements and bug fixes for the hmm interface in the kernel:
- Improve clarity, locking and APIs related to the 'hmm mirror' feature
merged last cycle. In linux-next we now see AMDGPU and nouveau to be

- Remove old or transitional hmm APIs. These are hold overs from the past
with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree conflicts.
There are still a few more of these cleanups that didn't make the merge
window cut off.
- Improve some core mm APIs:
* export alloc_pages_vma() for driver use
* refactor into devm_request_free_mem_region() to manage
DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations
* refactor duplicative driver code into the core dev_pagemap
struct
- Remove hmm wrappers of improved core mm APIs, instead have drivers use
the simplified API directly
- Remove DEVICE_PUBLIC
- Simplify the kconfig flow for the hmm users and core code

- Remove old or transitional hmm APIs. These are hold overs from the
past with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree

make the merge window cut off.
- Improve some core mm APIs:
- export alloc_pages_vma() for driver use
- refactor into devm_request_free_mem_region() to manage
DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations
- refactor duplicative driver code into the core dev_pagemap

- Remove hmm wrappers of improved core mm APIs, instead have drivers
use the simplified API directly
- Remove DEVICE_PUBLIC

Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10.
Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options.
These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the
control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.
Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the
page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator
isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates
handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly.
Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are
initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access
stale data by using a dangling pointer.
As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to
disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough
evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways
to opt-out may result in things going out of control.
This patch (of 2):
The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make
control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.
This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it
gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the
boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks
where memory forensics is included in their threat models.)
init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap
objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the
places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed.
init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects
with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data
doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses.
Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator
returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with
constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never
zero-initialized to preserve their semantics.
Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults
can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and
CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON.
If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take
precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only
applied to unpoisoned allocations.
Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0:
hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%)
hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%)
The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline
is within the standard error.
The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory
tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free
hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the
same cost as memory initialization.
Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where
in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various
arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but
given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are
people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost,
it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

CONFIG_NUMA on 64-bit CPUs currently enables hashdist unconditionally even
when booting on single node machines. This causes the large system hashes
to be allocated with vmalloc, and mapped with small pages.
This change clears hashdist if only one node has come up with memory.
This results in the important large inode and dentry hashes using memblock
allocations. All others are within 4MB size up to about 128GB of RAM,
which allows them to be allocated from the linear map on most non-NUMA
images.
Other big hashes like futex and TCP should eventually be moved over to the
same style of allocation as those vfs caches that use HASH_EARLY if
!hashdist, so they don't exceed MAX_ORDER on very large non-NUMA images.
This brings dTLB misses for linux kernel tree `git diff` from ~45,000 to
~8,000 on a Kaby Lake KVM guest with 8MB dentry hash and mitigations=off
(performance is in the noise, under 1% difference, page tables are likely
to be well cached for this workload).

is not set, which is rather arbitrary.
vmalloc space is limited on 32-bit machines, but this shouldn't result in
much more used because of small physical memory limiting system hash

When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext
array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that
we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as
guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces
memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other
features requiring the page_ext array.

The page allocator checks struct pages for expected state (mapcount,
flags etc) as pages are being allocated (check_new_page()) and freed
(free_pages_check()) to provide some defense against errors in page
allocator users.
Prior commits 479f854a20 ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of
pages allocated from the PCP") and 4db7548ccb ("mm, page_alloc: defer
debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain") this has happened
for order-0 pages as they were allocated from or freed to the per-cpu
caches (pcplists). Since those are fast paths, the checks are now
performed only when pages are moved between pcplists and global free
lists. This however lowers the chances of catching errors soon enough.
In order to increase the chances of the checks to catch errors, the
kernel has to be rebuilt with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, which also enables
multiple other internal debug checks (VM_BUG_ON() etc), which is
suboptimal when the goal is to catch errors in mm users, not in mm code
itself.
To catch some wrong users of the page allocator we have
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is designed to have virtually no overhead
unless enabled at boot time. Memory corruptions when writing to freed
pages have often the same underlying errors (use-after-free, double free)
as corrupting the corresponding struct pages, so this existing debugging
functionality is a good fit to extend by also perform struct page checks
at least as often as if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was enabled.
Specifically, after this patch, when debug_pagealloc is enabled on boot,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled, pages are checked when allocated from or
freed to the pcplists *in addition* to being moved between pcplists and
free lists. When both debug_pagealloc and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM are enabled,
pages are checked when being moved between pcplists and free lists *in
addition* to when allocated from or freed to the pcplists.
When debug_pagealloc is not enabled on boot, the overhead in fast paths
should be virtually none thanks to the use of static key.

Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements".
I have been recently debugging some pcplist corruptions, where it would be
useful to perform struct page checks immediately as pages are allocated
from and freed to pcplists, which is now only possible by rebuilding the
kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (details in Patch 2 changelog).
To make this kind of debugging simpler in future on a distro kernel, I
have improved CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC so that it has even smaller overhead
when not enabled at boot time (Patch 1) and also when enabled (Patch 3),
and extended it to perform the struct page checks more often when enabled
(Patch 2). Now it can be configured in when building a distro kernel
without extra overhead, and debugging page use after free or double free
can be enabled simply by rebooting with debug_pagealloc=on.
This patch (of 3):
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC has been redesigned by 031bc5743f
("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") to
allow being always enabled in a distro kernel, but only perform its
expensive functionality when booted with debug_pagelloc=on. We can
further reduce the overhead when not boot-enabled (including page
allocator fast paths) using static keys. This patch introduces one for
debug_pagealloc core functionality, and another for the optional guard
page functionality (enabled by booting with debug_guardpage_minorder=X).

EXPORT_SYMBOL() marking. It will be still possible to use the function in

Commit 0e56acae4b ("mm: initialize MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES at a time
instead of doing larger sections") is causing a regression on some
systems when the kernel is booted as Xen dom0.
The system will just hang in early boot.
Reason is an endless loop in get_page_from_freelist() in case the first
zone looked at has no free memory. deferred_grow_zone() is always
returning true due to the following code snipplet:
/* If the zone is empty somebody else may have cleared out the zone */
if (!deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone(&i, zone, &spfn, &epfn,
first_deferred_pfn)) {
pgdat->first_deferred_pfn = ULONG_MAX;
pgdat_resize_unlock(pgdat, &flags);
return true;
}
This in turn results in the loop as get_page_from_freelist() is assuming
forward progress can be made by doing some more struct page
initialization.

When freeing a page with an order >= shuffle_page_order randomly select
the front or back of the list for insertion.
While the mm tries to defragment physical pages into huge pages this can
tend to make the page allocator more predictable over time. Inject the
front-back randomness to preserve the initial randomness established by
shuffle_free_memory() when the kernel was booted.
The overhead of this manipulation is constrained by only being applied
for MAX_ORDER sized pages by default.

Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10.
This patch (of 3):
Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of
a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform
capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC
(high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In
that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to
higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going
to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in
front of higher latency persistent memory [1].
Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux
interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here:
It's been a problem in the HPC space:
http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/
A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software
and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com
Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but
also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance
more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible
to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing
users to deploy remedies like:
"To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream
measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job;
nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth
falls below 300 GB/s."
A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e5
("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this
numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized
("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and
disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance.
However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts
are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate
time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server
platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case.
The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a
workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance
degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to
excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the
valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance.
Here are some performance impact details of the patches:
1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a
3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts.
The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an
instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized
numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they
would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes
without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted
unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node.
2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap
size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8%
for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With
randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%.
3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in
cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with
randomization in one case.
4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization
enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some
improvements and some losses [3].
While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that
depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance
may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the
shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped
memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0
parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems.
Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially
security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and
return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the
location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially
early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for
physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first
onlined.
Quoting Kees:
"While we already have a base-address randomization
(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and
memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of
allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't
important: only the relative positions between allocated memory).
This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain
control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc.
I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar
to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator."
While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab
caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated.
However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to
quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization.
Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform
a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they
are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do
this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line
parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a
follow-on patch).
The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free
pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10,
4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling.
MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator
while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the
expectation that the security implications of finer granularity
randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The
performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to
other memory initialization work.
This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is
introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to
ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to
the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process
putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together,
page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As
more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high
page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant
impact to the cache conflict rate.

Most architectures do not need the memblock memory after the page
allocator is initialized, but only few enable ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK in the
arch Kconfig.
Replacing ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK with ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and inverting the
logic makes it clear which architectures actually use memblock after
system initialization and skips the necessity to add ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK
to the architectures that are still missing that option.

check_pages_isolated_cb currently accounts the whole pfn range as being
offlined if test_pages_isolated suceeds on the range. This is based on
the assumption that all pages in the range are freed which is currently
the case in most cases but it won't be with later changes, as pages marked
as vmemmap won't be isolated.
Move the offlined pages counting to offline_isolated_pages_cb and rely on
__offline_isolated_pages to return the correct value.
check_pages_isolated_cb will still do it's primary job and check the pfn
range.
While we are at it remove check_pages_isolated and offline_isolated_pages
and use directly walk_system_ram_range as do in online_pages.

Add yet another iterator, for_each_free_mem_range_in_zone_from, and then
use it to support initializing and freeing pages in groups no larger than
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. By doing this we can greatly improve the cache
locality of the pages while we do several loops over them in the init and
freeing process.
We are able to tighten the loops further as a result of the "from"
iterator as we can perform the initial checks for first_init_pfn in our
first call to the iterator, and continue without the need for those checks
via the "from" iterator. I have added this functionality in the function
called deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone that primes the iterator and
causes us to exit if we encounter any failure.
On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction
in initialization time from 1.85s to 1.38s as a result of this patch.

Introduce a new iterator for_each_free_mem_pfn_range_in_zone.
This iterator will take care of making sure a given memory range provided
is in fact contained within a zone. It takes are of all the bounds
checking we were doing in deferred_grow_zone, and deferred_init_memmap.
In addition it should help to speed up the search a bit by iterating until
the end of a range is greater than the start of the zone pfn range, and
will exit completely if the start is beyond the end of the zone.

As best as I can tell the meminit_pfn_in_nid call is completely redundant.
The deferred memory initialization is already making use of
for_each_free_mem_range which in turn will call into __next_mem_range
which will only return a memory range if it matches the node ID provided
assuming it is not NUMA_NO_NODE.
I am operating on the assumption that there are no zones or pgdata_t
structures that have a NUMA node of NUMA_NO_NODE associated with them. If
that is the case then __next_mem_range will never return a memory range
that doesn't match the zone's node ID and as such the check is redundant.
So one piece I would like to verify on this is if this works for ia64.
Technically it was using a different approach to get the node ID, but it
seems to have the node ID also encoded into the memblock. So I am
assuming this is okay, but would like to get confirmation on that.
On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction
in initialization time from 2.80s to 1.85s as a result of this patch.

342332e6a9 ("mm/page_alloc.c: introduce kernelcore=mirror option") and
later patches rewrote the calculation of node spanned pages.
e506b99696 ("mem-hotplug: fix node spanned pages when we have a movable
node"), but the current code still has problems,
When we have a node with only zone_movable and the node id is not zero,
the size of node spanned pages is double added.
That's because we have an empty normal zone, and zone_start_pfn or
zone_end_pfn is not between arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn and
arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn, so we need to use clamp to constrain the
range just like the commit <96e907d13602> (bootmem: Reimplement
__absent_pages_in_range() using for_each_mem_pfn_range()).
e.g.
Zone ranges:
DMA [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000ffffff]
DMA32 [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x00000000ffffffff]

alloc_pages_exact*() allocates a page of sufficient order and then splits
it to return only the number of pages requested. That makes it
incompatible with __GFP_COMP, because compound pages cannot be split.
As shown by [1] things may silently work until the requested size
(possibly depending on user) stops being power of two. Then for
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, BUG_ON() triggers in split_page(). Without
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, consequences are unclear.
There are several options here, none of them great:
1) Don't do the splitting when __GFP_COMP is passed, and return the
whole compound page. However if caller then returns it via
free_pages_exact(), that will be unexpected and the freeing actions
there will be wrong.
2) Warn and remove __GFP_COMP from the flags. But the caller may have
really wanted it, so things may break later somewhere.
3) Warn and return NULL. However NULL may be unexpected, especially
for small sizes.
This patch picks option 2, because as Michal Hocko put it: "callers wanted
it" is much less probable than "caller is simply confused and more gfp
flags is surely better than fewer".

valid mappings and handle if they are unmapped when doing a hibernate
save operation.
Previously this checking was already done when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
was configured. It does not appear to have a big hibernating performance
impact. The speed of the saving operation before this change was measured

During the development of commit 5e1f0f098b ("mm, compaction: capture
a page under direct compaction"), a paranoid check was added to ensure
that if a captured page was available after compaction that it was
consistent with the final state of compaction. The intent was to catch
serious programming bugs such as using a stale page pointer and causing
corruption problems.
However, it is possible to get a captured page even if compaction was
unsuccessful if an interrupt triggered and happened to free pages in
interrupt context that got merged into a suitable high-order page. It's
highly unlikely but Li Wang did report the following warning on s390
occuring when testing OOM handling. Note that the warning is slightly
edited for clarity.

This patch simply removes the check entirely instead of trying to be
clever about pages freed from interrupt context. If a serious
programming error was introduced, it is highly likely to be caught by
prep_new_page() instead.

Mikulas Patocka reported that commit 1c30844d2d ("mm: reclaim small
amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") "broke"
memory management on parisc.
The machine is not NUMA but the DISCONTIG model creates three pgdats
even though it's a UMA machine for the following ranges
0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB
1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB
2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB
Mikulas reported:
With the patch 1c30844d2, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the
first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two
completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB.
For example, if I run:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048
- with the proper kernel, there should be "Buffers - 2GiB"
when this command finishes. With the patch 1c30844d2, buffers
will consume just 1GiB or slightly more, because the kernel was
incorrectly reclaiming them.
The page allocator and reclaim makes assumptions that pgdats really
represent NUMA nodes and zones represent ranges and makes decisions on
that basis. Watermark boosting for small pgdats leads to unexpected
results even though this would have behaved reasonably on SPARSEMEM.
DISCONTIG is essentially deprecated and even parisc plans to move to
SPARSEMEM so there is no need to be fancy, this patch simply disables
watermark boosting by default on DISCONTIGMEM.

has_unmovable_pages() is used by allocating CMA and gigantic pages as
well as the memory hotplug. The later doesn't know how to offline CMA
pool properly now, but if an unused (free) CMA page is encountered, then
has_unmovable_pages() happily considers it as a free memory and
propagates this up the call chain. Memory offlining code then frees the
page without a proper CMA tear down which leads to an accounting issues.
Moreover if the same memory range is onlined again then the memory never
gets back to the CMA pool.
State after memory offline:
# grep cma /proc/vmstat
nr_free_cma 205824
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/cma/cma-kvm_cma/count

Also, kmemleak still think those memory address are reserved below but
have already been used by the buddy allocator after onlining. This
patch fixes the situation by treating CMA pageblocks as unmovable except
when has_unmovable_pages() is called as part of CMA allocation.

Commit f1dd2cd13c ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded
memory to zones until online") introduced move_pfn_range_to_zone() which
calls memmap_init_zone() during onlining a memory block.
memmap_init_zone() will reset pagetype flags and makes migrate type to
be MOVABLE.
However, in __offline_pages(), it also call undo_isolate_page_range()
after offline_isolated_pages() to do the same thing. Due to commit
2ce13640b3 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages") changed
__first_valid_page() to skip offline pages, undo_isolate_page_range()
here just waste CPU cycles looping around the offlining PFN range while
doing nothing, because __first_valid_page() will return NULL as
offline_isolated_pages() has already marked all memory sections within
the pfn range as offline via offline_mem_sections().
Also, after calling the "useless" undo_isolate_page_range() here, it
reaches the point of no returning by notifying MEM_OFFLINE. Those pages
will be marked as MIGRATE_MOVABLE again once onlining. The only thing
left to do is to decrease the number of isolated pageblocks zone counter
which would make some paths of the page allocation slower that the above
commit introduced.
Even if alloc_contig_range() can be used to isolate 16GB-hugetlb pages
on ppc64, an "int" should still be enough to represent the number of
pageblocks there. Fix an incorrect comment along the way.

Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

When pageblocks get fragmented, watermarks are artifically boosted to
reclaim pages to avoid further fragmentation events. However,
compaction is often either fragmentation-neutral or moving movable pages
away from unmovable/reclaimable pages. As the true watermarks are
preserved, allow compaction to ignore the boost factor.
The expected impact is very slight as the main benefit is that
compaction is slightly more likely to succeed when the system has been
fragmented very recently. On both 1-socket and 2-socket machines for
THP-intensive allocation during fragmentation the success rate was
increased by less than 1% which is marginal. However, detailed tracing
indicated that failure of migration due to a premature ENOMEM triggered
by watermark checks were eliminated.

In the current implementation, there are two places to isolate a range
of page: __offline_pages() and alloc_contig_range(). During this
procedure, it will drain pages on pcp list.
Below is a brief call flow:
__offline_pages()/alloc_contig_range()
start_isolate_page_range()
set_migratetype_isolate()
drain_all_pages()
drain_all_pages() <--- A
This snippet shows the current logic is isolate and drain pcp list for
each pageblock and drain pcp list again for the whole range.
start_isolate_page_range is responsible for isolating the given pfn
range. One part of that job is to make sure that also pages that are on
the allocator pcp lists are properly isolated. Otherwise they could be
reused and the range wouldn't be completely isolated until the memory is
freed back. While there is no strict guarantee here because pages might
get allocated at any time before drain_all_pages is called there doesn't
seem to be any strong demand for such a guarantee.
In any case, draining is already done at the isolation level and there
is no need to do it again later by start_isolate_page_range callers
(memory hotplug and CMA allocator currently). Therefore remove
pointless draining in existing callers to make the code more clear and
functionally correct.

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

This patch replaces the size + 1 value introduced with the recent fix for 1
byte allocs with a constant value.
The idea here is to reduce code overhead as the previous logic would have
to read size into a register, then increment it, and write it back to
whatever field was being used. By using a constant we can avoid those
memory reads and arithmetic operations in favor of just encoding the
maximum value into the operation itself.

The basic idea behind ->pagecnt_bias is: If we pre-allocate the maximum
number of references that we might need to create in the fastpath later,
the bump-allocation fastpath only has to modify the non-atomic bias value
that tracks the number of extra references we hold instead of the atomic
refcount. The maximum number of allocations we can serve (under the
assumption that no allocation is made with size 0) is nc->size, so that's
the bias used.
However, even when all memory in the allocation has been given away, a
reference to the page is still held; and in the `offset < 0` slowpath, the
page may be reused if everyone else has dropped their references.
This means that the necessary number of references is actually
`nc->size+1`.
Luckily, from a quick grep, it looks like the only path that can call
page_frag_alloc(fragsz=1) is TAP with the IFF_NAPI_FRAGS flag, which
requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the init namespace and is only intended to be
used for kernel testing and fuzzing.
To test for this issue, put a `WARN_ON(page_ref_count(page) == 0)` in the
`offset < 0` path, below the virt_to_page() call, and then repeatedly call
writev() on a TAP device with IFF_TAP|IFF_NO_PI|IFF_NAPI_FRAGS|IFF_NAPI,
with a vector consisting of 15 elements containing 1 byte each.

This reverts commit 2830bf6f05.
The underlying assumption that one sparse section belongs into a single
numa node doesn't hold really. Robert Shteynfeld has reported a boot
failure. The boot log was not captured but his memory layout is as
follows:
Early memory node ranges
node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff]
node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff]
This means that node0 starts in the middle of a memory section which is
also in node1. memmap_init_zone tries to initialize padding of a
section even when it is outside of the given pfn range because there are
code paths (e.g. memory hotplug) which assume that the full worth of
memory section is always initialized.
In this particular case, though, such a range is already intialized and
most likely already managed by the page allocator. Scribbling over
those pages corrupts the internal state and likely blows up when any of
those pages gets used.

It appears to be a false positive in that the only way the lock ordering
should be inverted is if kswapd is waking itself and the wakeup
allocates debugging objects which should already be allocated if it's
kswapd doing the waking. Nevertheless, the possibility exists and so
it's best to avoid the problem.
This patch flags a zone as needing a kswapd using the, surprisingly,
unused zone flag field. The flag is read without the lock held to do
the wakeup. It's possible that the flag setting context is not the same
as the flag clearing context or for small races to occur. However, each
race possibility is harmless and there is no visible degredation in
fragmentation treatment.
While zone->flag could have continued to be unused, there is potential
for moving some existing fields into the flags field instead.
Particularly read-mostly ones like zone->initialized and
zone->contiguous.

Model call chain after should_failslab(). Likewise, we can now use a
kprobe to override the return value of should_fail_alloc_page() and inject
allocation failures into alloc_page*().
This will allow injecting allocation failures using the BCC tools even
without building kernel with CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC and booting it with a
fail_page_alloc= parameter, which incurs some overhead even when failures
are not being injected. On the other hand, this patch adds an
unconditional call to should_fail_alloc_page() from page allocation
hotpath. That overhead should be rather negligible with
CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC=n when there's no kprobe attached, though.

drain_all_pages is documented to drain per-cpu pages for a given zone (if
non-NULL). The current implementation doesn't match the description
though. It will drain all pcp pages for all zones that happen to have
cached pages on the same cpu as the given zone. This will lead to
premature pcp cache draining for zones that are not of any interest to the
caller - e.g. compaction, hwpoison or memory offline.
This forces the page allocator to take locks and potential lock contention
as a result.
There is no real reason for this sub-optimal implementation. Replace
per-cpu work item with a dedicated structure which contains a pointer to
the zone and pass it over to the worker. This will get the zone
information all the way down to the worker function and do the right job.

When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled on large memory SMP systems, the deferrred
pages initialization can take a long time. Below were the reported init
times on a 8-socket 96-core 4TB IvyBridge system.
1) Non-debug kernel without CONFIG_KASAN
[ 8.764222] node 1 initialised, 132086516 pages in 7027ms
2) Debug kernel with CONFIG_KASAN
[ 146.288115] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 143052ms
So the page init time in a debug kernel was 20X of the non-debug kernel.
The long init time can be problematic as the page initialization is done
with interrupt disabled. In this particular case, it caused the
appearance of following warning messages as well as NMI backtraces of all
the cores that were doing the initialization.

The long init time was mainly caused by the call to kasan_free_pages() to
poison the newly initialized pages. On a 4TB system, we are talking about
almost 500GB of memory probably on the same node.
In reality, we may not need to poison the newly initialized pages before
they are ever allocated. So KASAN poisoning of freed pages before the
completion of deferred memory initialization is now disabled. Those pages
will be properly poisoned when they are allocated or freed after deferred
pages initialization is done.
With this change, the new page initialization time became:
[ 21.948010] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 18702ms
This was still about double the non-debug kernel time, but was much
better than before.

NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS depends on MIGRATE_TYPES, while these macro spread on

functions that hang from it.
Also, some variables are no longer used after the system has gone

When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is configured, only the first section of
each node's highest zone is initialized before defer stage.
static_init_pgcnt is used to store the number of pages like this:
pgdat->static_init_pgcnt = min_t(unsigned long, PAGES_PER_SECTION,
pgdat->node_spanned_pages);
because we don't want to overflow zone's range.
But this is not necessary, since defer_init() is called like this:
memmap_init_zone()
for pfn in [start_pfn, end_pfn)
defer_init(pfn, end_pfn)
In case (pgdat->node_spanned_pages < PAGES_PER_SECTION), the loop would
stop before calling defer_init().
BTW, comparing PAGES_PER_SECTION with node_spanned_pages is not correct,
since nr_initialised is zone based instead of node based. Even
node_spanned_pages is bigger than PAGES_PER_SECTION, its highest zone
would have pages less than PAGES_PER_SECTION.

An external fragmentation event was previously described as
When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using
the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller
than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered
an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future.
The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the
watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the
lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if
there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still
occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep.
This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone
watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing
events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease
free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the
calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size
of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is
cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order
to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the
fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap
from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system
disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that
kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.
This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

There is a large reduction in fragmentation events with some jitter around
the latencies and success rates. As before, the high THP allocation
success rate does mean the system is under a lot of pressure. However, as
the fragmentation events are reduced, it would be expected that the
long-term allocation success rate would be higher.

This is a preparation patch that copies the GFP flag __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM

Note that the setting in the fast path happens in alloc_flags_nofragment()
and it may be claimed that this has nothing to do with ALLOC_NO_FRAGMENT.
That's true in this patch but is not true later so it's done now for
easier review to show where the flag needs to be recorded.

Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5.
It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka
anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse
workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order
allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition
of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series
that reduces the level of those fragmentation events.
The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more
detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level
summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the
mmtests implementation.
The broad details of the workload are as follows;
1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
as part of the testing for this patch)
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate
is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
pages get mixed
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files
created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further
interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
and what the fault latency was in microseconds
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup
Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94%
on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation
success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and
high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they
are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded
so they are treated as a secondary metric.
Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory
instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to
handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained
in the changelog.
Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation
event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory
and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system
slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level
of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance
for fragmentation vs allocation latency.
Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4
make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it
is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if
larger stalls can be tolerated.
The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches
1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option
of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for
some stalls to control fragmentation.
This patch (of 5):
The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each
zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0
may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is
that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though
ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the
allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local
zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of
pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast
path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view.
This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before
attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following
configurations
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage
e.g. from mmtests
./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1
The broad details of the workload are as follows;
1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
as part of the testing for this patch).
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate
is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
pages get mixed.
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files
created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further
interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
and what the fault latency was in microseconds.
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup the test files.
Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not
suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory
may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates
fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation.
Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is
used with high-order pages may yield different results.
When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than
a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an
"external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future.
Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation
events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation
latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences
in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of
external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric.

Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain
at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate
THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or
keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation
events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in
the future.
Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types
that are falling back.

42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE
The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is
consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented
again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations.
Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they
can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback
later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a
movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to
actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot
know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it.
Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent
throughout the series and will not be repeated.

partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c1891
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher. The allocation success rate is high enough that
the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and
compaction activity. There is also a certain degree of luck on whether
processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is
reduced later in the series.
Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing
events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved
for this adverse workload.

page_frag_free() calls __free_pages_ok() to free the page back to Buddy.
This is OK for high order page, but for order-0 pages, it misses the
optimization opportunity of using Per-Cpu-Pages and can cause zone lock
contention when called frequently.
Pawel Staszewski recently shared his result of 'how Linux kernel handles
normal traffic'[1] and from perf data, Jesper Dangaard Brouer found the
lock contention comes from page allocator:
mlx5e_poll_tx_cq
|
--16.34%--napi_consume_skb
|
|--12.65%--__free_pages_ok
| |
| --11.86%--free_one_page
| |
| |--10.10%--queued_spin_lock_slowpath
| |
| --0.65%--_raw_spin_lock
|
|--1.55%--page_frag_free
|
--1.44%--skb_release_data
Jesper explained how it happened: mlx5 driver RX-page recycle mechanism is
not effective in this workload and pages have to go through the page
allocator. The lock contention happens during mlx5 DMA TX completion
cycle. And the page allocator cannot keep up at these speeds.[2]
I thought that __free_pages_ok() are mostly freeing high order pages and
thought this is an lock contention for high order pages but Jesper
explained in detail that __free_pages_ok() here are actually freeing
order-0 pages because mlx5 is using order-0 pages to satisfy its page pool
allocation request.[3]
The free path as pointed out by Jesper is:
skb_free_head()
-> skb_free_frag()
-> page_frag_free()
And the pages being freed on this path are order-0 pages.
Fix this by doing similar things as in __page_frag_cache_drain() - send
the being freed page to PCP if it's an order-0 page, or directly to Buddy
if it is a high order page.
With this change, Paweł hasn't noticed lock contention yet in his
workload and Jesper has noticed a 7% performance improvement using a micro
benchmark and lock contention is gone. Ilias' test on a 'low' speed 1Gbit
interface on an cortex-a53 shows ~11% performance boost testing with
64byte packets and __free_pages_ok() disappeared from perf top.

Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed
pages to atomic", v5.
This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables.
totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are
protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it.
Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a
store tear.
Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things. It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 It seemes better
to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic. With the change,
preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing comes as a bonus.
This patch (of 4):
This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. Please note that re-reading the
value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to
unexpected behavior. There are no known bugs as a result of the current
code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.

which are not triggered by the memory hotplug but rather CMA allocator.
The original idea behind dumping the page state for all call paths was
that these messages will be helpful debugging failures. From the above it
seems that this is not the case for the CMA path because we are lacking
much more context. E.g the second reported page might be a CMA allocated
page. It is still interesting to see a slab page in the CMA area but it
is hard to tell whether this is bug from the above output alone.
Address this issue by dumping the page state only on request. Both
start_isolate_page_range and has_unmovable_pages already have an argument
to ignore hwpoison pages so make this argument more generic and turn it
into flags and allow callers to combine non-default modes into a mask.
While we are at it, has_unmovable_pages call from
is_pageblock_removable_nolock (sysfs removable file) is questionable to
report the failure so drop it from there as well.

There is only very limited information printed when the memory offlining
fails:
[ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff
This tells us that the failure is triggered by the userspace intervention
but it doesn't tell us much more about the underlying reason. It might be
that the page migration failes repeatedly and the userspace timeout
expires and send a signal or it might be some of the earlier steps
(isolation, memory notifier) takes too long.
If the migration failes then it would be really helpful to see which page
that and its state. The same applies to the isolation phase. If we fail
to isolate a page from the allocator then knowing the state of the page
would be helpful as well.
Dump the page state that fails to get isolated or migrated. This will
tell us more about the failure and what to focus on during debugging.

Tag-based KASAN doesn't check memory accesses through pointers tagged with
0xff. When page_address is used to get pointer to memory that corresponds
to some page, the tag of the resulting pointer gets set to 0xff, even
though the allocated memory might have been tagged differently.
For slab pages it's impossible to recover the correct tag to return from
page_address, since the page might contain multiple slab objects tagged
with different values, and we can't know in advance which one of them is
going to get accessed. For non slab pages however, we can recover the tag
in page_address, since the whole page was marked with the same tag.
This patch adds tagging to non slab memory allocated with pagealloc. To
set the tag of the pointer returned from page_address, the tag gets stored
to page->flags when the memory gets allocated.

The reason is we do not pass the Head to page_hstate(), and so, the call
to compound_order() in page_hstate() returns 0, so we end up checking
all hstates's size to match PAGE_SIZE.
Obviously, we do not find any hstate matching that size, and we return
NULL. Then, we dereference that NULL pointer in
hugepage_migration_supported() and we got the #PF from above.
Fix that by getting the head page before calling page_hstate().
Also, since gigantic pages span several pageblocks, re-adjust the logic
for skipping pages. While are it, we can also get rid of the
round_up().

init_currently_empty_zone() will adjust pgdat->nr_zones and set it to
'zone_idx(zone) + 1' unconditionally. This is correct in the normal
case, while not exact in hot-plug situation.
This function is used in two places:
* free_area_init_core()
* move_pfn_range_to_zone()
In the first case, we are sure zone index increase monotonically. While
in the second one, this is under users control.
One way to reproduce this is:
----------------------------
1. create a virtual machine with empty node1
-m 4G,slots=32,maxmem=32G \
-smp 4,maxcpus=8 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,mem=4G,cpus=0-3 \
-numa node,nodeid=1,mem=0G,cpus=4-7
2. hot-add cpu 3-7
cpu-add [3-7]
2. hot-add memory to nod1
object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G
device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=ram0,node=1
3. online memory with following order
echo online_movable > memory47/state
echo online > memory40/state
After this, node1 will have its nr_zones equals to (ZONE_NORMAL + 1)
instead of (ZONE_MOVABLE + 1).
Michal said:
"Having an incorrect nr_zones might result in all sorts of problems
which would be quite hard to debug (e.g. reclaim not considering the
movable zone). I do not expect many users would suffer from this it
but still this is trivial and obviously right thing to do so
backporting to the stable tree shouldn't be harmful (last famous
words)"

the problem is that we only check for an out of bound order in the slow
path and the node reclaim might happen from the fast path already. This
is fixable by making sure that kvmalloc doesn't ever use kmalloc for
requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
the code is rather fragile. A recent UBSAN report just underlines that

Page state checks are racy. Under a heavy memory workload (e.g. stress
-m 200 -t 2h) it is quite easy to hit a race window when the page is
allocated but its state is not fully populated yet. A debugging patch to
dump the struct page state shows
has_unmovable_pages: pfn:0x10dfec00, found:0x1, count:0x0
page:ffffea0437fb0000 count:1 mapcount:1 mapping:ffff880e05239841 index:0x7f26e5000 compound_mapcount: 1
flags: 0x5fffffc0090034(uptodate|lru|active|head|swapbacked)
Note that the state has been checked for both PageLRU and PageSwapBacked
already. Closing this race completely would require some sort of retry
logic. This can be tricky and error prone (think of potential endless
or long taking loops).
Workaround this problem for movable zones at least. Such a zone should
only contain movable pages. Commit 15c30bc090 ("mm, memory_hotplug:
make has_unmovable_pages more robust") has told us that this is not
strictly true though. Bootmem pages should be marked reserved though so
we can move the original check after the PageReserved check. Pages from
other zones are still prone to races but we even do not pretend that
memory hotremove works for those so pre-mature failure doesn't hurt that
much.

When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment
is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES.
Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can
come as a surprise. Not that such an alignment would be wrong even
when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of
clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise.
Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter
explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment
in the memblock internal allocation functions.
For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g. like
iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with
Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where
appropriate.

When checking for valid pfns in zero_resv_unavail(), it is not necessary
to verify that pfns within pageblock_nr_pages ranges are valid, only the
first one needs to be checked. This is because memory for pages are
allocated in contiguous chunks that contain pageblock_nr_pages struct
pages.

Patch series "mm: Fix for movable_node boot option", v3.
This patch series contains a fix for the movable_node boot option issue
which was introduced by commit 124049decb ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM
regions into memblock.reserved").
The commit breaks the option because it changed the memory gap range to
reserved memblock. So, the node is marked as Normal zone even if the SRAT
has Hot pluggable affinity.
First and second patch fix the original issue which the commit tried to
fix, then revert the commit.
This patch (of 3):
There is a kernel panic that is triggered when reading /proc/kpageflags on
the kernel booted with kernel parameter 'memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]':

According to kernel bisection, this problem became visible due to commit
f7f99100d8 which changes how struct pages are initialized.
Memblock layout affects the pfn ranges covered by node/zone. Consider
that we have a VM with 2 NUMA nodes and each node has 4GB memory, and the
default (no memmap= given) memblock layout is like below:
MEMBLOCK configuration:
memory size = 0x00000001fff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
memory.cnt = 0x4
memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x2] [0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff], 0x0000000040000000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x3] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
...
If you give memmap=1G!4G (so it just covers memory[0x2]),
the range [0x100000000-0x13fffffff] is gone:
MEMBLOCK configuration:
memory size = 0x00000001bff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
memory.cnt = 0x3
memory[0x0] [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x1] [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
memory[0x2] [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
...
This causes shrinking node 0's pfn range because it is calculated by the
address range of memblock.memory. So some of struct pages in the gap
range are left uninitialized.
We have a function zero_resv_unavail() which does zeroing the struct pages
outside memblock.memory, but currently it covers only the reserved
unavailable range (i.e. memblock.memory && !memblock.reserved). This
patch extends it to cover all unavailable range, which fixes the reported
issue.

contexts: hotplug, and during boot, and also because it must handle some

update_defer_init() should be called only when struct page is about to be
initialized. Because it counts number of initialized struct pages, but
there we may skip struct pages if there is some mirrored memory.
So move, update_defer_init() after checking for mirrored memory.
Also, rename update_defer_init() to defer_init() and reverse the return
boolean to emphasize that this is a boolean function, that tells that the
reset of memmap initialization should be deferred.
Make this function self-contained: do not pass number of already
initialized pages in this zone by using static counters.
I found this bug by reading the code. The effect is that fewer than
expected struct pages are initialized early in boot, and it is possible
that in some corner cases we may fail to boot when mirrored pages are
used. The deferred on demand code should somewhat mitigate this. But
this still brings some inconsistencies compared to when booting without
mirrored pages, so it is better to fix.

If move_freepages_block() returns 0 because !zone_spans_pfn(),
*num_movable can hold the value from the stack because it does not get
initialized in move_freepages().
Move the initialization to move_freepages_block() to guarantee the value
actually makes sense.
This currently doesn't affect its only caller where num_movable != NULL,
so no bug fix, but just more robust.

The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations. One was
with the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock.
The problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory
initialization time. Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a
global lock and once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to
the one outside of the lock. This allows us to avoid serializing the
overhead for memory init and we can instead focus on per-node init times.
One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and
hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same
way. One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it
to a poison value. Since this is something that is exposed to the driver
in the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing

It doesn't make much sense to use the atomic SetPageReserved at init time
when we are using memset to clear the memory and manipulating the page
flags via simple "&=" and "|=" operations in __init_single_page.
This patch adds a non-atomic version __SetPageReserved that can be used
during page init and shows about a 10% improvement in initialization times
on the systems I have available for testing. On those systems I saw
initialization times drop from around 35 seconds to around 32 seconds to
initialize a 3TB block of persistent memory. I believe the main advantage
of this is that it allows for more compiler optimization as the __set_bit
operation can be reordered whereas the atomic version cannot.
I tried adding a bit of documentation based on f1dd2cd13c ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online").
Ideally the reserved flag should be set earlier since there is a brief
window where the page is initialization via __init_single_page and we have
not set the PG_Reserved flag. I'm leaving that for a future patch set as
that will require a more significant refactor.

should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of
show_mem on large NUMA systems. Things have changed since then though.
Namely c78e93630d ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during
show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably.
Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from
the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats.
Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially
interesting information about allocation failures. We have seen a bug
report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is
only

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

The vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES was introduced by
commit eb59254608 ("mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES") with
the goal of accounting objects that can be reclaimed, but cannot be
allocated via a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache. This is now possible via
kmalloc() with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, and the dcache external names user
is converted.
The counter is however still useful for accounting direct page allocations
(i.e. not slab) with a shrinker, such as the ION page pool. So keep it,
and:
- change granularity to pages to be more like other counters; sub-page
allocations should be able to use kmalloc
- rename the counter to NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE
- expose the counter again in vmstat as "nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable"; we can
again remove the check for not printing "hidden" counters

check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this:
if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
return;
Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to
N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other
way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will
never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it.
Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as
well.
We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in
case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <=
ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set
N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally)
Although this works, it is a bit subtle.
I think that this could be easier to follow:
First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL,
without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep
for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe592
("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make
any progress") and lock up the system if OOM.
The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run
even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential
for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky
all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without
much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on
drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others.
Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point,
let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in
order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This
will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down
when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more
robust.

Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.
Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.
Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.
However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.

When scanning for movable pages, filter out Hugetlb pages if hugepage
migration is not supported. Without this we hit infinte loop in
__offline_pages() where we do
pfn = scan_movable_pages(start_pfn, end_pfn);
if (pfn) { /* We have movable pages */
ret = do_migrate_range(pfn, end_pfn);
goto repeat;
}
Fix this by checking hugepage_migration_supported both in
has_unmovable_pages which is the primary backoff mechanism for page
offlining and for consistency reasons also into scan_movable_pages
because it doesn't make any sense to return a pfn to non-migrateable
huge page.

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline. This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."
Two main changes of this patch are:
- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
after put_page() returns,
- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
that is decided to be allocated soon.

Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug
path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core(). But there is
some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such
path.
free_area_init_core() performs the following actions:
1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more.
2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on
when creating hash tables.
3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and
memmap pages.
4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data
5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists
6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone
When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs
actions #1 and #4.
Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the
node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to
this node should have 0 pages. For the same reason, action #3 results
always in manages_pages being 0.
Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages:
online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone()
online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone()
This patch does two things:
First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it
allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only
perform:
1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more
4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data
These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals().
The second thing this patch does, is to introduce
free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of
free_area_init_core():
Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path. In
there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages().
calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has.
Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging
to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate
this now.
Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to:
reset_node_managed_pages()
reset_node_present_pages()
The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when
onlining the pages:
online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range()
online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range()
Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace
__paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

This patchset does three things:

by moving the ifdefery out of the functions.
2) Move the pgdat/zone initialization in free_area_init_core to its
own function.
3) Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug, a small subset of
free_area_init_core, which is only called from memhotlug code path. In this
way, we have:
free_area_init_core: called during early initialization
free_area_init_core_hotplug: called whenever a new node is allocated/re-used (memhotplug path)
This patch (of 5):
Moving the #ifdefs out of the function makes it easier to follow.

__alloc_pages_slowpath() has for a long time contained code to ignore
node restrictions from memory policies for high priority allocations.
The current code that resets the zonelist iterator however does
effectively nothing after commit 7810e6781e ("mm, page_alloc: do not
break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset") removed a buggy zonelist reset.
Even before that commit, mempolicy restrictions were still not ignored,
as they are passed in ac->nodemask which is untouched by the code.
We can either remove the code, or make it work as intended. Since
ac->nodemask can be set from task's mempolicy via alloc_pages_current()
and thus also alloc_pages(), it may indeed affect kernel allocations,
and it makes sense to ignore it to allow progress for high priority
allocations.
Thus, this patch resets ac->nodemask to NULL in such cases. This
assumes all callers can handle it (i.e. there are no guarantees as in
the case of __GFP_THISNODE) which seems to be the case. The same
assumption is already present in check_retry_cpuset() for some time.
The expected effect is that high priority kernel allocations in the
context of userspace tasks (e.g. OOM victims) restricted by mempolicies
will have higher chance to succeed if they are restricted to nodes with
depleted memory, while there are other nodes with free memory left.
It's not a new intention, but for the first time the code will match the
intention, AFAICS. It was intended by commit 183f6371aa ("mm: ignore
mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") in v3.6 but I think it never
really worked, as mempolicy restriction was already encoded in nodemask,
not zonelist, at that time.
So originally that was for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK only. Then it was
adjusted by e46e7b77c9 ("mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred
zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies") and cd04ae1e2d
("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access") to the
current state. So even GFP_ATOMIC would now ignore mempolicies after
the initial attempts fail - if the code worked as people thought it
does.

The role of zero_resv_unavail() is to make sure that every struct page
that is allocated but is not backed by memory that is accessible by
kernel is zeroed and not in some uninitialized state.
Since struct pages are allocated in blocks (2M pages in x86 case), we
can skip pageblock_nr_pages at a time, when the first one is found to be
invalid.
This optimization may help since now on x86 every hole in e820 maps is
marked as reserved in memblock, and thus will go through this function.
This function is called before sched_clock() is initialized, so I used
my x86 early boot clock patches to measure the performance improvement.
With 1T hole on i7-8700 currently we would take 0.606918s of boot time,
but with this optimization 0.001103s.

At present, "systemctl suspend" and "shutdown" can run in parrallel. A
system can suspend after devices_shutdown(), and resume. Then the shutdown
task goes on to power off. This causes many devices are not really shut
off. Hence replacing reboot_mutex with system_transition_mutex (renamed
from pm_mutex) to achieve the exclusion. The renaming of pm_mutex as
system_transition_mutex can be better to reflect the purpose of the mutex.

free_reserved_area() takes pointers as arguments to show which addresses
should be freed. However, it does this in a somewhat ambiguous way. If it
gets a kernel direct map address, it always works. However, if it gets an
address that is part of the kernel image alias mapping, it can fail.
It fails if all of the following happen:
* The specified address is part of the kernel image alias
* Poisoning is requested (forcing a memset())
* The address is in a read-only portion of the kernel image
The memset() fails on the read-only mapping, of course.
free_reserved_area() *is* called both on the direct map and on kernel image
alias addresses. We've just lucked out thus far that the kernel image
alias areas it gets used on are read-write. I'm fairly sure this has been
just a happy accident.
It is quite easy to make free_reserved_area() work for all cases: just
convert the address to a direct map address before doing the memset(), and
do this unconditionally. There is little chance of a regression here
because we previously did a virt_to_page() on the address for the memset,
so we know these are not highmem pages for which virt_to_page() would fail.

Moving zero_resv_unavail before memmap_init_zone(), caused a regression on
x86-32.
The cause is that we access struct pages before they are allocated when
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is used.
free_area_init_nodes()
zero_resv_unavail()
mm_zero_struct_page(pfn_to_page(pfn)); <- struct page is not alloced
free_area_init_node()
if CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP
alloc_node_mem_map()
memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() <- struct page alloced here
On the other hand memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() zeroes all the memory
that it returns, so we do not need to do zero_resv_unavail() here.

We must zero struct pages for memory that is not backed by physical
memory, or kernel does not have access to.
Recently, there was a change which zeroed all memmap for all holes in
e820. Unfortunately, it introduced a bug that is discussed here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg156764.html
Linus, also saw this bug on his machine, and confirmed that reverting
commit 124049decb ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
memblock.reserved") fixes the issue.
The problem is that we incorrectly zero some struct pages after they
were setup.
The fix is to zero unavailable struct pages prior to initializing of
struct pages.
A more detailed fix should come later that would avoid double zeroing
cases: one in __init_single_page(), the other one in
zero_resv_unavail().

In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for
allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained
from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE
allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the
allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU.
This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because
there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page
is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt
the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's
list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race.
Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit
511e3a0588 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on
arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE
works as promised.
We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There
is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets
don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different
when commit 183f6371aa ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their
own restricted zonelists.
We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's
anything currently broken.
SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't
yet have 511e3a0588 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page
allocated on arbitrary node") it is. That's at least 4.4 LTS. Older
ones I'll have to check.
So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be
reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW I think
that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we
don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we
probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a
separate patch.

We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the
_mapcount and make page_type its own field. That implies renaming some of
the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring
back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names.
As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask. Because it starts out
life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page
flag means clearing the appropriate bit. This gives us space for probably
twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about
_mapcount underflow).

While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

Note how only Node 0 has a hutplugable memory region which would rule it
out from the early memblock allocations (most likely memmap). Node1
will surely contain memmaps on the same node and those would prevent
offlining to succeed. So this is arguably a configuration issue.
Although one could argue that we should be more clever and rule early
allocations from the zone movable. This would be correct but probably
not worth the effort considering what a hack movablecore is.
Anyway, We could do better for those cases though. We rely on
start_isolate_page_range resp. has_unmovable_pages to do their job.
The first one isolates the whole range to be offlined so that we do not
allocate from it anymore and the later makes sure we are not stumbling
over non-migrateable pages.
has_unmovable_pages is overly optimistic, however. It doesn't check all
the pages if we are withing zone_movable because we rely that those
pages will be always migrateable. As it turns out we are still not
perfect there. While bootmem pages in zonemovable sound like a clear
bug which should be fixed let's remove the optimization for now and warn
if we encounter unmovable pages in zone_movable in the meantime. That
should help for now at least.
Btw. this wasn't a real problem until commit 72b39cfc4d ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early") because we used to
have a small number of retries and then failed. This turned out to be
too fragile though.

The reason for this error is that the span of MOVABLE_ZONE is extended

It's so late time to fix the later problem so I decide to reverting the

Juergen Gross noticed that commit f7f99100d8 ("mm: stop zeroing memory
during allocation in vmemmap") broke XEN PV domains when deferred struct
page initialization is enabled.
This is because the xen's PagePinned() flag is getting erased from
struct pages when they are initialized later in boot.
Juergen fixed this problem by disabling deferred pages on xen pv
domains. It is desirable, however, to have this feature available as it
reduces boot time. This fix re-enables the feature for pv-dmains, and
fixes the problem the following way:
The fix is to delay setting PagePinned flag until struct pages for all
allocated memory are initialized, i.e. until after free_all_bootmem().
A new x86_init.hyper op init_after_bootmem() is called to let xen know
that boot allocator is done, and hence struct pages for all the
allocated memory are now initialized. If deferred page initialization
is enabled, the rest of struct pages are going to be initialized later
in boot once page_alloc_init_late() is called.
xen_after_bootmem() walks page table's pages and marks them pinned.

Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the
ZONE_MOVABLE", v2.
0. History
This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce
ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed.
1. What does this patch do?
This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA
area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the
CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using
the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.
2. Motivation
There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway,
following is the problems of the current implementation.
o CMA memory utilization
First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage
Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0
If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.
FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.
Useless reclaim:
There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.
Atomic allocation failure:
This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage
calculation logic.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0
It was reported by Aneesh [3].
Useless compaction:
Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.
3. Current approach and new approach
Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are
marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to
deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.
New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA
area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be
migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.
There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA
area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with
GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also
only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with
GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most
of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file
cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev
file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is
pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache
pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail
temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by
discarding this case.
Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be
printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all.

Freepage on ZONE_HIGHMEM doesn't work for kernel memory so it's not that
important to reserve. When ZONE_MOVABLE is used, this problem would
theorectically cause to decrease usable memory for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
allocation request which is mainly used for page cache and anon page
allocation. So, fix it by setting 0 to
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[ZONE_HIGHMEM].
And, defining sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES - 1 size
makes code complex. For example, if there is highmem system, following
reserve ratio is activated for *NORMAL ZONE* which would be easyily
misleading people.
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
32
#endif
This patch also fixes this situation by defining
sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio array by MAX_NR_ZONES and place "#ifdef" to
right place.

start_isolate_page_range() is used to set the migrate type of a set of
pageblocks to MIGRATE_ISOLATE while attempting to start a migration
operation. It assumes that only one thread is calling it for the
specified range. This routine is used by CMA, memory hotplug and
gigantic huge pages. Each of these users synchronize access to the
range within their subsystem. However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic
huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range. If
this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing.
This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as
MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation.
What is ideally needed is a way to synchronize access to a set of
pageblocks that are undergoing isolation and migration. The only thing
we know about these pageblocks is that they are all in the same zone. A
per-node mutex is too coarse as we want to allow multiple operations on
different ranges within the same zone concurrently. Instead, we will
use the migration type of the pageblocks themselves as a form of
synchronization.
start_isolate_page_range sets the migration type on a set of page-
blocks going in order from the one associated with the smallest pfn to
the largest pfn. The zone lock is acquired to check and set the
migration type. When going through the list of pageblocks check if
MIGRATE_ISOLATE is already set. If so, this indicates another thread is
working on this pageblock. We know exactly which pageblocks we set, so
clean up by undo those and return -EBUSY.
This allows start_isolate_page_range to serve as a synchronization
mechanism and will allow for more general use of callers making use of
these interfaces. Update comments in alloc_contig_range to reflect this

Each CPU holds the associated zone lock to modify or examine the
migration type of a pageblock. And, it will only examine/update a
single pageblock per lock acquire/release cycle.

Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too
many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed.
This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high-
order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for
background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or
reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to
reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up.
When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be
woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order
allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even
when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

When a page is freed back to the global pool, its buddy will be checked
to see if it's possible to do a merge. This requires accessing buddy's
page structure and that access could take a long time if it's cache
cold.
This patch adds a prefetch to the to-be-freed page's buddy outside of
zone->lock in hope of accessing buddy's page structure later under
zone->lock will be faster. Since we *always* do buddy merging and check
an order-0 page's buddy to try to merge it when it goes into the main
allocator, the cacheline will always come in, i.e. the prefetched data
will never be unused.
Normally, the number of prefetch will be pcp->batch(default=31 and has
an upper limit of (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)=96 on x86_64) but in the case of
pcp's pages get all drained, it will be pcp->count which has an upper
limit of pcp->high. pcp->high, although has a default value of 186
(pcp->batch=31 * 6), can be changed by user through
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction and there is no software upper
limit so could be large, like several thousand. For this reason, only
the first pcp->batch number of page's buddy structure is prefetched to
avoid excessive prefetching.
In the meantime, there are two concerns:
1. the prefetch could potentially evict existing cachelines, especially
for L1D cache since it is not huge
2. there is some additional instruction overhead, namely calculating
buddy pfn twice
For 1, it's hard to say, this microbenchmark though shows good result
but the actual benefit of this patch will be workload/CPU dependant;
For 2, since the calculation is a XOR on two local variables, it's
expected in many cases that cycles spent will be offset by reduced
memory latency later. This is especially true for NUMA machines where
multiple CPUs are contending on zone->lock and the most time consuming
part under zone->lock is the wait of 'struct page' cacheline of the
to-be-freed pages and their buddies.

When freeing a batch of pages from Per-CPU-Pages(PCP) back to buddy, the
zone->lock is held and then pages are chosen from PCP's migratetype
list. While there is actually no need to do this 'choose part' under
lock since it's PCP pages, the only CPU that can touch them is us and
irq is also disabled.
Moving this part outside could reduce lock held time and improve
performance. Test with will-it-scale/page_fault1 full load:

Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of
ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively. This requires
the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line,
however.
This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore=
as a percentage of total system memory. This is convenient for systems
software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example,
as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value.
To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be
a '%'.

During memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages three times:
1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section()
2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and
SetPageReserved(page);
3. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn()
This patch removes the first two loops, and leaves only loop 3. All
struct pages are initialized in one place, the same as it is done during
boot.
The benefits:
- We improve memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting the
cache several times and also reduce loop branching overhead.
- Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added
in order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above
email thread, thus also improve performance during normal boot.
- Make memory hotplug more similar to the boot memory initialization
path because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one
function.
- Simplifies memory hotplug struct page initialization code, and thus
enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the
initialization of struct pages in order to improve hotplug
performance even further on larger machines.

Deferred page initialization allows the boot cpu to initialize a small
subset of the system's pages early in boot, with other cpus doing the
rest later on.
It is, however, problematic to know how many pages the kernel needs
during boot. Different modules and kernel parameters may change the
requirement, so the boot cpu either initializes too many pages or runs
out of memory.
To fix that, initialize early pages on demand. This ensures the kernel
does the minimum amount of work to initialize pages during boot and
leaves the rest to be divided in the multithreaded initialization path
(deferred_init_memmap).
The on-demand code is permanently disabled using static branching once
deferred pages are initialized. After the static branch is changed to
false, the overhead is up-to two branch-always instructions if the zone
watermark check fails or if rmqueue fails.
Sergey Senozhatsky noticed that while deferred pages currently make
sense only on NUMA machines (we start one thread per latency node),
CONFIG_NUMA is not a requirement for CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT,
so that is also must be addressed in the patch.

Vlastimil Babka reported about a window issue during which when deferred
pages are initialized, and the current version of on-demand
initialization is finished, allocations may fail. While this is highly
unlikely scenario, since this kind of allocation request must be large,
and must come from interrupt handler, we still want to cover it.
We solve this by initializing deferred pages with interrupts disabled,
and holding node_size_lock spin lock while pages in the node are being
initialized. The on-demand deferred page initialization that comes
later will use the same lock, and thus synchronize with
deferred_init_memmap().
It is unlikely for threads that initialize deferred pages to be
interrupted. They run soon after smp_init(), but before modules are
initialized, and long before user space programs. This is why there is
no adverse effect of having these threads running with interrupts
disabled.

This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,

I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"

This warning is caused by commit d92a8cfcb3 ("locking/lockdep:
Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") which replaced the use of
lockdep_{set,clear}_current_reclaim_state() in __perform_reclaim()
and lockdep_trace_alloc() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() with
fs_reclaim_acquire()/ fs_reclaim_release().
Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds __GFP_NOMEMALLOC |
__GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply propagates
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() is
trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already
grabbed the 'fake' lock.
The
/* this guy won't enter reclaim */
if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
return false;
test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock
was added by commit cf40bd16fd ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)"). But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread
won't enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit
341ce06f69 ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation
only once") added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (
/* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
goto nopage;
in __alloc_pages_slowpath()).
Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and
allow __need_fs_reclaim() to return false.

Tile was the only remaining architecture to implement alloc_remap(),
and since that is being removed, there is no point in keeping this
function.
Removing all callers simplifies the mem_map handling.

This reverts commit 864b75f9d6.
Commit 864b75f9d6 ("mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock
alignment") modified the logic in memmap_init_zone() to initialize
struct pages associated with invalid PFNs, to appease a VM_BUG_ON()
in move_freepages(), which is redundant by its own admission, and
dereferences struct page fields to obtain the zone without checking
whether the struct pages in question are valid to begin with.
Commit 864b75f9d6 only makes it worse, since the rounding it does
may cause pfn assume the same value it had in a prior iteration of
the loop, resulting in an infinite loop and a hang very early in the
boot. Also, since it doesn't perform the same rounding on start_pfn
itself but only on intermediate values following an invalid PFN, we
may still hit the same VM_BUG_ON() as before.
So instead, let's fix this at the core, and ensure that the BUG
check doesn't dereference struct page fields of invalid pages.

Commit b92df1de5d ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") introduced a bug where move_freepages() triggers a
VM_BUG_ON() on uninitialized page structure due to pageblock alignment.
To fix this, simply align the skipped pfns in memmap_init_zone() the
same way as in move_freepages_block().

BUG, zones differ!
Note that this range follows two not populated sections
68000000-77ffffff in this zone. 7b788000-7b7fffff is the first one
after a gap. This makes memmap_init_zone() skip all the pfns up to the
beginning of this range. But this range is not pageblock (2M) aligned.
In fact no range has to be.

Initialization of the whole beginning of the section is skipped up to
the start of the range due to the commit b92df1de5d. Now any code
calling move_freepages_block() (like reusing the page from a freelist as
in this example) with a page from the beginning of the range will get
the page rounded down to start_page ffffea0001ed8000 and passed to
move_freepages() which crashes on assertion getting wrong zonenr.
> VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));
Note, page_zone() derives the zone from page flags here.
From similar machine before commit b92df1de5d28:

All the pages since the beginning of the section are initialized.
move_freepages()' not gonna blow up.
The same machine with this fix applied:

At least the bare minimum of pages is initialized preventing the crash
as well.
Customers started to report this as soon as 7.4 (where b92df1de5d was
merged in RHEL) was released. I remember reports from
September/October-ish times. It's not easily reproduced and happens on
a handful of machines only. I guess that's why. But that does not make
it less serious, I think.
Though there actually is a report here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196443
And there are reports for Fedora from July:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1473242
and CentOS:

Commit f7f99100d8 ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in

Bharata has noticed that onlining a newly added memory doesn't increase
the total memory, pointing to commit f7f99100d8 ("mm: stop zeroing
memory during allocation in vmemmap") as a culprit. This commit has
changed the way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it
from the allocation time to the initialization time. This works
properly for the early memmap init path.
It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark
page as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later
initialize it completely during onlining. memmap_init_zone is called in
the early stage of onlining. With the current code it calls
__init_single_page and as such it clears up the whole stage and
therefore online_pages_range skips those pages.
Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for
memory hotplug path. This is quite uggly but unifying both early init
and memory hotplug init paths is a large project. Make sure we plug the
regression at least.

In deferred_init_range() we initialize struct pages, and also free them
to buddy allocator. We do it in separate loops, because buddy page is
computed ahead, so we do not want to access a struct page that has not
been initialized yet.
There is still, however, a corner case where it is potentially possible
to access uninitialized struct page: this is when buddy page is from the
next memblock range.
This patch fixes this problem by splitting deferred_init_range() into
two functions: one to initialize struct pages, and another to free them.
In addition, this patch brings the following improvements:
- Get rid of __def_free() helper function. And simplifies loop logic by
adding a new pfn validity check function: deferred_pfn_valid().
- Reduces number of variables that we track. So, there is a higher
chance that we will avoid using stack to store/load variables inside
hot loops.
- Enables future multi-threading of these functions: do initialization
in multiple threads, wait for all threads to finish, do freeing part
in multithreading.
Tested on x86 with 1T of memory to make sure no regressions are
introduced.

This is introduced by commit a4a3ede213 ("mm: zero reserved and
unavailable struct pages").
The reason is some efi reserved boot ranges is not reported in E820 ram.
In my case it is a bgrt buffer:
efi: mem00: [Boot Data |RUN| | | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000000d2c41000-0x00000000d2c85fff] (0MB)
Use "add_efi_memmap" can workaround the problem with another fix:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171130052327.GA3500@dhcp-128-65.nay.redhat.com
In zero_resv_unavail it would be better to check pfn_valid first before
zero the page struct. This fixes the problem and potential other
similar problems. Also as Pavel Tatashin suggested checks pfn_valid at
the beginning of the section.
The range is backed by real memory. The memory range is efi "Boot
Service Data", that means after ExitBootServices() these ranges can be
used as system ram. But some of them need to be reserved, for example
the bgrt image address in an acpi table, if the image memory is freed
then kexec reboot will fail because kexec inherit same acpi table to
initialize the driver.

Since commit 9cca35d42e ("mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once
when freeing a list of pages") we see excessive IRQ disabled times of up
to 25ms on an embedded ARM system (tracing overhead included).
This is due to graphics buffers being freed back to the system via
release_pages(). Graphics buffers can be huge, so it's not hard to hit
cases where the list of pages to free has 2048 entries. Disabling IRQs
while freeing all those pages is clearly not a good idea.
Introduce a batch limit, which allows IRQ servicing once every few
pages. The batch count is the same as used in other parts of the MM
subsystem when dealing with IRQ disabled regions.

If the call __alloc_contig_migrate_range() in alloc_contig_range returns
-EBUSY, processing continues so that test_pages_isolated() is called
where there is a tracepoint to identify the busy pages. However, it is
possible for busy pages to become available between the calls to these
two routines. In this case, the range of pages may be allocated.
Unfortunately, the original return code (ret == -EBUSY) is still set and
returned to the caller. Therefore, the caller believes the pages were
not allocated and they are leaked.
Update the comment to indicate that allocation is still possible even if
__alloc_contig_migrate_range returns -EBUSY. Also, clear return code in
this case so that it is not accidentally used or returned to caller.

drain_all_pages backs off when called from a kworker context since
commit 0ccce3b924 ("mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue
context") because the original IPI based pcp draining has been replaced
by a WQ based one and the check wanted to prevent from recursion and
inter workers dependencies. This has made some sense at the time
because the system WQ has been used and one worker holding the lock
could be blocked while waiting for new workers to emerge which can be a
problem under OOM conditions.
Since then commit ce612879dd ("mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into
single wq") has moved draining to a dedicated (mm_percpu_wq) WQ with a
rescuer so we shouldn't depend on any other WQ activity to make a
forward progress so calling drain_all_pages from a worker context is
safe as long as this doesn't happen from mm_percpu_wq itself which is
not the case because all workers are required to _not_ depend on any MM
locks.
Why is this a problem in the first place? ACPI driven memory hot-remove
(acpi_device_hotplug) is executed from the worker context. We end up
calling __offline_pages to free all the pages and that requires both
lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked and drain_all_pages to do their job
otherwise we can have dangling pages on pcp lists and fail the offline
operation (__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock would see a page with 0 ref
count but without PageBuddy set).
Fix the issue by removing the worker check in drain_all_pages.
lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked doesn't have this restriction so it works
as expected.

Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which
shares core code with CMA. Since CMA reliability would suffer from the
heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA
use case. Since 6815bf3f23 ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint
in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update*
the skip hints in addition to ignoring them.
Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last
resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation
fails in such case. Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint
flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets. This should improve
the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit
handling as the next step.

free_area_init_node() calls alloc_node_mem_map(), but this function does
nothing unless we have CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP.
As a cleanup, we can move the "#ifdef CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP" within
alloc_node_mem_map() out of the function, and define a
alloc_node_mem_map() { } when CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is not present.
This also moves the printk that lays within the "#ifdef

alloc_node_mem_map(), getting rid of the "#ifdef

In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not
be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also
pages for reserved memory in this node.
The reserved memory is determined in this function:
memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical
addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit()
assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page
count.
The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected
due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the
worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

Commit 63f53dea0c ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too
long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up
problem caused by memory allocation stalls. But this commit reverts it,
for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many
threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory
allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is
difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous
warning approach.
Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the
context of a thread which called console_unlock(). printk() should be
able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues
appending to printk() buffer.
Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting
for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process()
is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force
oom_kill_process() loop inside printk(). As a result, warn_alloc()
significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process()
from making forward progress.
---------- Pseudo code start ----------
Before warn_alloc() was introduced:
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
}
goto retry;
After warn_alloc() was introduced:
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
} else if (waited_for_10seconds()) {
atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
}
goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------
Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds,
unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same
time. Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing
almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU
resource. Therefore, this situation can be simplified like
---------- Pseudo code start ----------
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
} else {
atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
}
goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------
when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log.
One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to
make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or
warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk()
(either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress.
Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable
form.
---------- Pseudo code start ----------
retry:
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) {
mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock);
while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) {
atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs);
print_one_log();
}
// Send SIGKILL here.
mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
mutex_unlock(&oom_lock)
} else {
if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) {
atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs);
mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock);
}
}
goto retry;
---------- Pseudo code end ----------
But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to
introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain
useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and
warn_alloc().
Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g. too late [1],
too frequent [2], overlooked [3]). As far as I know, warn_alloc() never
helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong".
I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information
during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g. the owner of
oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions
(e.g. turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump
of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose).
This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g. OOM lockup due to
unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request.
But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit
warning. Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().

Since commit 97a16fc82a ("mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for
order-0 allocations"), __zone_watermark_ok() check for high-order
allocations will shortcut per-migratetype free list checks for
ALLOC_HARDER allocations, and return true as long as there's free page
of any migratetype. The intention is that ALLOC_HARDER can allocate
from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC free lists, while normal allocations can't.
However, as a side effect, the watermark check will then also return
true when there are pages only on the MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, or (prior to
CMA conversion to ZONE_MOVABLE) on the MIGRATE_CMA list. Since the
allocation cannot actually obtain isolated pages, and might not be able
to obtain CMA pages, this can result in a false positive.
The condition should be rare and perhaps the outcome is not a fatal one.
Still, it's better if the watermark check is correct. There also

This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).
Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):

=========================================================================
When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
This is system default setting.

rmqueue_bulk() fills an empty pcplist with pages from the free list. It
tries to preserve increasing order by pfn to the caller, because it
leads to better performance with some I/O controllers, as explained in
commit e084b2d95e ("page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when
__GFP_COLD is set").
To preserve the order, it's sufficient to add pages to the tail of the
list as they are retrieved. The current code instead adds to the head
of the list, but then updates the list head pointer to the last added
page, in each step. This does result in the same order, but is
needlessly confusing and potentially wasteful, with no apparent benefit.
This patch simplifies the code and adjusts comment accordingly.

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.
The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page
should be more obvious.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2.
This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache
truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but
saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon
his work.
A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each
machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the
differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is
slower than a local node. The workloads checked were
o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny
o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large
o reaim-io disk workfile
o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results)
o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size
o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM
reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does
not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other
regressions. They will not be reported further.
The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number
of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The
"tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in
memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache.
The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the
size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and
working set shadow entries in the radix tree.
Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are
optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a
negligible performance impact.
The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie
delete options, the main comparison is

This patch (of 8):
Freeing a list of pages current enables/disables IRQs for each page
freed. This patch splits freeing a list of pages into two operations --
preparing the pages for freeing and the actual freeing. This is a
tradeoff - we're taking two passes of the list to free in exchange for
avoiding multiple enable/disable of IRQs.

__rmqueue(), __rmqueue_fallback(), __rmqueue_smallest() and
__rmqueue_cma_fallback() are all in page allocator's hot path and better
be finished as soon as possible. One way to make them faster is by making
them inline. But as Andrew Morton and Andi Kleen pointed out:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1252https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/10/1279
To make sure they are inlined, we should use __always_inline for them.
With the will-it-scale/page_fault1/process benchmark, when using nr_cpu
processes to stress buddy, the results for will-it-scale.processes with
and without the patch are:

gcc-6.2.0 14574099 15349204 +5.3%
The above 4 compilers are used because I've done the tests through
Intel's Linux Kernel Performance(LKP) infrastructure and they are the
available compilers there.
The benefit being less on 4 sockets machine is due to the lock
contention there(perf-profile/native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath=81%) is
less severe than on the 2 sockets machine(85%).
What the benchmark does is: it forks nr_cpu processes and then each
process does the following:
1 mmap() 128M anonymous space;
2 writes to each page there to trigger actual page allocation;
3 munmap() it.
in a loop.

vmemmap_alloc_block() will no longer zero the block, so zero memory at
its call sites for everything except struct pages. Struct page memory
is zero'd by struct page initialization.
Replace allocators in sparse-vmemmap to use the non-zeroing version.
So, we will get the performance improvement by zeroing the memory in
parallel when struct pages are zeroed.
Add struct page zeroing as a part of initialization of other fields in

Some memory is reserved but unavailable: not present in memblock.memory
(because not backed by physical pages), but present in memblock.reserved.
Such memory has backing struct pages, but they are not initialized by
going through __init_single_page().
In some cases these struct pages are accessed even if they do not
contain any data. One example is page_to_pfn() might access page->flags
if this is where section information is stored (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM,
SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS).
One example of such memory: trim_low_memory_range() unconditionally
reserves from pfn 0, but e820__memblock_setup() might provide the
exiting memory from pfn 1 (i.e. KVM).
Since struct pages are zeroed in __init_single_page(), and not during
allocation time, we must zero such struct pages explicitly.
The patch involves adding a new memblock iterator:
for_each_resv_unavail_range(i, p_start, p_end)
Which iterates through reserved && !memory lists, and we zero struct pages
explicitly by calling mm_zero_struct_page().
===
Here is more detailed example of problem that this patch is addressing:
Run tested on qemu with the following arguments:
-enable-kvm -cpu kvm64 -m 512 -smp 2
This patch reports that there are 98 unavailable pages.
They are: pfn 0 and pfns in range [159, 255].
Note, trim_low_memory_range() reserves only pfns in range [0, 15], it does
not reserve [159, 255] ones.
e820__memblock_setup() reports linux that the following physical ranges are
available:
[1 , 158]
[256, 130783]
Notice, that exactly unavailable pfns are missing!
Now, lets check what we have in zone 0: [1, 131039]
pfn 0, is not part of the zone, but pfns [1, 158], are.
However, the bigger problem we have if we do not initialize these struct
pages is with memory hotplug. Because, that path operates at 2M
boundaries (section_nr). And checks if 2M range of pages is hot
removable. It starts with first pfn from zone, rounds it down to 2M
boundary (sturct pages are allocated at 2M boundaries when vmemmap is
created), and checks if that section is hot removable. In this case
start with pfn 1 and convert it down to pfn 0. Later pfn is converted
to struct page, and some fields are checked. Now, if we do not zero
struct pages, we get unpredictable results.
In fact when CONFIG_VM_DEBUG is enabled, and we explicitly set all
vmemmap memory to ones, the following panic is observed with kernel test
without this patch applied:

* A new variant of memblock_virt_alloc_* allocations:
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw()
- Does not zero the allocated memory
- Does not panic if request cannot be satisfied
* optimize early system hash allocations
Clients can call alloc_large_system_hash() with flag: HASH_ZERO to
specify that memory that was allocated for system hash needs to be
zeroed, otherwise the memory does not need to be zeroed, and client will
initialize it.
If memory does not need to be zero'd, call the new
memblock_virt_alloc_raw() interface, and thus improve the boot
performance.
* debug for raw alloctor
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, this patch sets all the memory that is
returned by memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to ones to ensure that no
places excpect zeroed memory.

Patch series "complete deferred page initialization", v12.
SMP machines can benefit from the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT config
option, which defers initializing struct pages until all cpus have been
started so it can be done in parallel.
However, this feature is sub-optimal, because the deferred page
initialization code expects that the struct pages have already been
zeroed, and the zeroing is done early in boot with a single thread only.
Also, we access that memory and set flags before struct pages are
initialized. All of this is fixed in this patchset.
In this work we do the following:
- Never read access struct page until it was initialized
- Never set any fields in struct pages before they are initialized
- Zero struct page at the beginning of struct page initialization

This patch (of 11):
deferred_init_memmap() is called when struct pages are initialized later
in boot by slave CPUs. This patch simplifies and optimizes this
function, and also fixes a couple issues (described below).
The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas
instead of all configured memory. Thus, we do not have to check if the
struct page has already been initialized.
=====
In deferred_init_memmap() where all deferred struct pages are
initialized we have a check like this:
if (page->flags) {
VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(page) != zone);
goto free_range;
}
This way we are checking if the current deferred page has already been
initialized. It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed,
and the only way flags are not zero if it went through
__init_single_page() before. But, once we change the current behavior
and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust
anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized. This patch
fixes this.
The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free
memory ranges provided by memblock.
Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is
merged:
=====
This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in
zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined.
In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this:
if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn)
goto free_range;
Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn'
advances. Thus means if deferred struct pages are enabled on systems
with these kind of holes, linux would get memory corruptions. I have
fixed this issue by defining a new macro that performs all the necessary
operations when we free the current set of pages.

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.
As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.
KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream.
We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).
The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.
Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.
This patch (of 4):
Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

Reserved pages should be completely ignored by the core mm because they
have a special meaning for their owners. has_unmovable_pages doesn't
check those so we rely on other tests (reference count, or PageLRU) to
fail on such pages. Althought this happens to work it is safer to
simply check for those explicitly and do not rely on the owner of the
page to abuse those fields for special purposes.
Please note that this is more of a further fortification of the code
rahter than a fix of an existing issue.

Joonsoo has noticed that "mm: drop migrate type checks from
has_unmovable_pages" would break CMA allocator because it relies on
has_unmovable_pages returning false even for CMA pageblocks which in
fact don't have to be movable:
alloc_contig_range
start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
has_unmovable_pages
This is a result of the code sharing between CMA and memory hotplug
while each one has a different idea of what has_unmovable_pages should
return. This is unfortunate but fixing it properly would require a lot
of code duplication.
Fix the issue by introducing the requested migrate type argument and
special case MIGRATE_CMA case where CMA page blocks are handled
properly. This will work for memory hotplug because it requires
MIGRATE_MOVABLE.

Michael has noticed that the memory offline tries to migrate kernel code
pages when doing
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/online
The current implementation will fail the operation after several failed
page migration attempts but we shouldn't even attempt to migrate that
memory and fail right away because this memory is clearly not
migrateable. This will become a real problem when we drop the retry
loop counter resp. timeout.
The real problem is in has_unmovable_pages in fact. We should fail if
there are any non migrateable pages in the area. In orther to guarantee
that remove the migrate type checks because MIGRATE_MOVABLE is not
guaranteed to contain only migrateable pages. It is merely a heuristic.
Similarly MIGRATE_CMA does guarantee that the page allocator doesn't
allocate any non-migrateable pages from the block but CMA allocations
themselves are unlikely to migrateable. Therefore remove both checks.

The function init_reserved_page() references the function __meminit early_pfn_to_nid().
This is often because init_reserved_page lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of early_pfn_to_nid is wrong.
On most compilers, we don't notice this because the function gets
inlined all the time. Adding __meminit here fixes the harmless warning
for the old versions and is generally the correct annotation.

Patch series "Separate NUMA statistics from zone statistics", v2.
Each page allocation updates a set of per-zone statistics with a call to
zone_statistics(). As discussed in 2017 MM summit, these are a
substantial source of overhead in the page allocator and are very rarely
consumed. This significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone
counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded
page allocation (pointed out by Dave Hansen).
A link to the MM summit slides:
http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2017/MM-summit2017-JesperBrouer.pdf
To mitigate this overhead, this patchset separates NUMA statistics from
zone statistics framework, and update NUMA counter threshold to a fixed
size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update
frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter (suggested by
Ying Huang). The rationality is that these statistics counters don't
need to be read often, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem
to use a large threshold and make readers more expensive.
With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369, see
below) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 benchmark. Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style
of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only
move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch
for details).
I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently
using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based
server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold
of pcp counter.

For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM
victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access
to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation,
though.
First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory
reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the
system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on.
Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on
mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed.
Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick
memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving
TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but
that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room
for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the
allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread
was not the group leader.
Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable
after 1b51e65eab ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the
kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to
memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel
memory freeing. We still want some access to reserves because we do not
want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory. oom victims
will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so
aggressive to starve oom victims completely.
Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to
the half of the reserves. This makes the access to reserves independent
on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim. Also drop any usage
of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by
tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely
TIF_MEMDIE free finally.
CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach.
There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply
many tasks killed at once. This change will allow such a usecase
without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

global_page_state is error prone as a recent bug report pointed out [1].
It only returns proper values for zone based counters as the enum it
gets suggests. We already have global_node_page_state so let's rename
global_page_state to global_zone_page_state to be more explicit here.
All existing users seems to be correct:
$ git grep "global_page_state(NR_" | sed 's@.*(\(NR_[A-Z_]*\)).*@\1@' | sort | uniq -c

2 NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES

zonelists_mutex was introduced by commit 4eaf3f6439 ("mem-hotplug: fix
potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone") to
protect zonelist building from races. This is no longer needed though
because both memory online and offline are fully serialized. New users
have grown since then.
Notably setup_per_zone_wmarks wants to prevent from races between memory
hotplug, khugepaged setup and manual min_free_kbytes update via sysctl
(see cfd3da1e49 ("mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes"). Let's
add a private lock for that purpose. This will not prevent from seeing
halfway through memory hotplug operation but that shouldn't be a big
deal becuse memory hotplug will update watermarks explicitly so we will
eventually get a full picture. The lock just makes sure we won't race
when updating watermarks leading to weird results.
Also __build_all_zonelists manipulates global data so add a private lock
for it as well. This doesn't seem to be necessary today but it is more
robust to have a lock there.
While we are at it make sure we document that memory online/offline
depends on a full serialization either via mem_hotplug_begin() or
device_lock.

build_all_zonelists has been (ab)using stop_machine to make sure that
zonelists do not change while somebody is looking at them. This is is
just a gross hack because a) it complicates the context from which we
can call build_all_zonelists (see 3f906ba236 ("mm/memory-hotplug:
switch locking to a percpu rwsem")) and b) is is not really necessary
especially after "mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization" and
c) it doesn't really provide the protection it claims (see below).
Updates of the zonelists happen very seldom, basically only when a zone
becomes populated during memory online or when it loses all the memory
during offline. A racing iteration over zonelists could either miss a
zone or try to work on one zone twice. Both of these are something we
can live with occasionally because there will always be at least one
zone visible so we are not likely to fail allocation too easily for
example.
Please note that the original stop_machine approach doesn't really
provide a better exclusion because the iteration might be interrupted
half way (unless the whole iteration is preempt disabled which is not
the case in most cases) so the some zones could still be seen twice or a
zone missed.
I have run the pathological online/offline of the single memblock in the
movable zone while stressing the same small node with some memory
pressure.

build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most
distant node. As we do not know how many populated zones we will have
in each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of
the zonelist by a NULL zone. While this is functionally correct it is
quite suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists
users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation
or hit the OOM killer in the worst case.
We can do much better, though. We can store the node ordering into an
already existing node_order array and then give this array to
build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once.
zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that
should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and
they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the
worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures.
While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather
confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the
updated index for the next iteration. Let's rename the function to
build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it zoneref
array to update. The function doesn't the index anymore. It just
returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance the
zonered array start for the next update.
This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it
is merely a preparatory work for later changes.

build_all_zonelists gets a zone parameter to initialize zone's pagesets.
There is only a single user which gives a non-NULL zone parameter and
that one doesn't really need the rest of the build_all_zonelists (see
commit 6dcd73d701 ("memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before
onlining pages")).
Therefore remove setup_zone_pageset from build_all_zonelists and call it
from its only user directly. This will also remove a pointless zonlists
rebuilding which is always good.

__build_all_zonelists reinitializes each online cpu local node for
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES. This makes sense because previously
memory less nodes could gain some memory during memory hotplug and so
the local node should be changed for CPUs close to such a node. It
makes less sense to do that unconditionally for a newly creaded NUMA
node which is still offline and without any memory.
Let's also simplify the cpu loop and use for_each_online_cpu instead of
an explicit cpu_online check for all possible cpus.

Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1.
This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have
but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the
usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are
straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration.
Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api
because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch
description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days.
I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to
configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we
can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice
runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but
it made patch 6 easier to implement.
Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any
special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_
is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing
anything.
Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and
not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking
my thinking.
This patch (of 9):
Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the
usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node
ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a
different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones.
This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim
has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that
lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and
so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only
advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when
highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem
pressure doesn't need to reclaim.
Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it
is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we
should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if
somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or
the sysctl.

Commit 9adb62a5df ("mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists
when creating new pgdat") tries to build the correct zonelist for a
newly added node, while it is not necessary to rebuild it for already
exist nodes.
In build_zonelists(), it will iterate on nodes with memory. For a newly
added node, it will have memory until node_states_set_node() is called
in online_pages().
This patch avoids rebuilding the zonelists for already existing nodes.
build_zonelists_node() uses managed_zone(zone) checks, so it should not
include empty zones anyway. So effectively we avoid some pointless work
under stop_machine().

allocations via sleeping locks, calling slab shrinker functions from
node_reclaim() from get_page_from_freelist() with oom_lock held has
possibility of deadlock. Therefore, make sure that last second memory

There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are
enabled:
The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than
128 entries are needed. See comment in e820__memblock_setup():
* The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
* (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
* than that - so allow memblock resizing.
This memblock memory is freed here:
free_low_memory_core_early()
We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages
are initialized in this path:
deferred_init_memmap()
for_each_mem_pfn_range()
__next_mem_pfn_range()
type = &memblock.memory;
One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit
before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been
exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled.
Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128,
and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the
freed pages are sane.

The RDMA subsystem can generate several thousand of these messages per
second eventually leading to a kernel crash. Ratelimit these messages
to prevent this crash.
Doug said:
"I've been carrying a version of this for several kernel versions. I
don't remember when they started, but we have one (and only one) class
of machines: Dell PE R730xd, that generate these errors. When it
happens, without a rate limit, we get rcu timeouts and kernel oopses.
With the rate limit, we just get a lot of annoying kernel messages but
the machine continues on, recovers, and eventually the memory
operations all succeed"
And:
"> Well... why are all these EBUSY's occurring? It sounds inefficient
> (at least) but if it is expected, normal and unavoidable then
> perhaps we should just remove that message altogether?
I don't have an answer to that question. To be honest, I haven't
looked real hard. We never had this at all, then it started out of the
blue, but only on our Dell 730xd machines (and it hits all of them),
but no other classes or brands of machines. And we have our 730xd
machines loaded up with different brands and models of cards (for
instance one dedicated to mlx4 hardware, one for qib, one for mlx5, an
ocrdma/cxgb4 combo, etc), so the fact that it hit all of the machines
meant it wasn't tied to any particular brand/model of RDMA hardware.
To me, it always smelled of a hardware oddity specific to maybe the
CPUs or mainboard chipsets in these machines, so given that I'm not an
mm expert anyway, I never chased it down.
A few other relevant details: it showed up somewhere around 4.8/4.9 or
thereabouts. It never happened before, but the prinkt has been there
since the 3.18 days, so possibly the test to trigger this message was
changed, or something else in the allocator changed such that the
situation started happening on these machines?
And, like I said, it is specific to our 730xd machines (but they are
all identical, so that could mean it's something like their specific
ram configuration is causing the allocator to hit this on these
machine but not on other machines in the cluster, I don't want to say
it's necessarily the model of chipset or CPU, there are other bits of
identicalness between these machines)"

"Commit 385386cff4 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It shows nearly
0kB"
In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from
overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during
suspend-to-disk.
This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from
the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global
accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the
aggregate zone data.
Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.
Fixes: 385386cff4 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters")

A while ago someone, and I cannot find the email just now, asked if we
could not implement the RECLAIM_FS inversion stuff with a 'fake' lock
like we use for other things like workqueues etc. I think this should
be possible which allows reducing the 'irq' states and will reduce the
amount of __bfs() lookups we do.
Removing the 1 IRQ state results in 4 less __bfs() walks per
dependency, improving lockdep performance. And by moving this
annotation out of the lockdep code it becomes easier for the mm people
to extend.
