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
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=$((4<<10))

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.

This is more cleanup and consolidation of the hmm APIs and the very
strongly related mmu_notifier interfaces. Many places across the tree
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
series:
- 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.

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
RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a given section:
# cat /proc/iomem | grep -A1 -B1 Persistent\ Memory

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.

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).

When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext

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).

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".

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.

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
209920
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.
