mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

/*
* Mlocked pages are marked with PageMlocked() flag for efficient testing
* in vmscan and, possibly, the fault path; and to support semi-accurate
* statistics.
*
* An mlocked page [PageMlocked(page)] is unevictable. As such, it will
* be placed on the LRU "unevictable" list, rather than the [in]active lists.
* The unevictable list is an LRU sibling list to the [in]active lists.
* PageUnevictable is set to indicate the unevictable state.
*
* When lazy mlocking via vmscan, it is important to ensure that the
* vma's VM_LOCKED status is not concurrently being modified, otherwise we
* may have mlocked a page that is being munlocked. So lazy mlock must take
* the mmap_sem for read, and verify that the vma really is locked
* (see mm/rmap.c).

mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap() We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still mishandled: #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char *map; int fd; system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat"); fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR); unlink("chigurh"); ftruncate(fd, 4096); map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); map[0] = 11; mlock(map, sizeof(fd)); ftruncate(fd, 0); close(fd); munlock(map, sizeof(fd)); munmap(map, 4096); system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat"); return 0; } The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to look out for them there in page_remove_rmap(). Indeed, why should truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing from pagecache? mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

* We lost the race. the page already moved to evictable list.
mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap().

mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked). The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration, which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that effect. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page != check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable memory design.

thp: allow mlocked THP again Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA boundary. So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely transferred to small pages. With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up with this scenario: 1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA. 2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP: - the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED; - huge PMD split into PTE table; - THP is still mlocked; 3. split_huge_page(): - it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA. We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I think we have accounting issue already on step two. Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd(). This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect unevictable small pages and mlock them. With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: munlock: fix potential race with THP page split Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. There is some attempt to prevent bad consequences of racing with a THP page split, but code inspection indicates that there are two problems that may lead to a non-fatal, yet wrong outcome. First, __split_huge_page_refcount() copies flags including PageMlocked from the head page to the tail pages. Clearing PageMlocked by munlock_vma_page() in the middle of this operation might result in part of tail pages left with PageMlocked flag. As the head page still appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed, munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip all the former tail pages. Before ff6a6da60, those pages would be cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK would still become undercounted (related the next point). Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after the PageMlocked is cleared. The accounting might also become inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount() - undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before ff6a6da60) - overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from additional tail pages This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in munlock_vma_page(). This is convenient because: - __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation - munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new __munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.

mm: munlock: fix a bug where THP tail page is encountered Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail pages. Commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked flag. This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the PageTail flags are cleared. However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which is to be fixed in a separate patch.

mm: munlock: fix a bug where THP tail page is encountered Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail pages. Commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked flag. This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the PageTail flags are cleared. However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which is to be fixed in a separate patch.

mm: munlock: fix potential race with THP page split Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. There is some attempt to prevent bad consequences of racing with a THP page split, but code inspection indicates that there are two problems that may lead to a non-fatal, yet wrong outcome. First, __split_huge_page_refcount() copies flags including PageMlocked from the head page to the tail pages. Clearing PageMlocked by munlock_vma_page() in the middle of this operation might result in part of tail pages left with PageMlocked flag. As the head page still appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed, munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip all the former tail pages. Before ff6a6da60, those pages would be cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK would still become undercounted (related the next point). Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after the PageMlocked is cleared. The accounting might also become inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount() - undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before ff6a6da60) - overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from additional tail pages This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in munlock_vma_page(). This is convenient because: - __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation - munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new __munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.

mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked). The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration, which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that effect. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page != check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable memory design.

BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page));
thp: allow mlocked THP again Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA boundary. So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely transferred to small pages. With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up with this scenario: 1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA. 2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP: - the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED; - huge PMD split into PTE table; - THP is still mlocked; 3. split_huge_page(): - it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA. We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I think we have accounting issue already on step two. Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd(). This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect unevictable small pages and mlock them. With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

As the head page still appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed, munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip all the former tail pages. Before ff6a6da60, those pages would be cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK would still become undercounted (related the next point). Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after the PageMlocked is cleared. The accounting might also become inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount() - undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before ff6a6da60) - overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from additional tail pages This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in munlock_vma_page(). This is convenient because: - __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation - munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new __munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.

mm: munlock: fix a bug where THP tail page is encountered Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail pages. Commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked flag. This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the PageTail flags are cleared. However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which is to be fixed in a separate patch.

mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap().

thp: allow mlocked THP again Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA boundary. So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely transferred to small pages. With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up with this scenario: 1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA. 2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP: - the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED; - huge PMD split into PTE table; - THP is still mlocked; 3. split_huge_page(): - it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA. We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I think we have accounting issue already on step two. Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd(). This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect unevictable small pages and mlock them. With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

{
mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used this can incur a high penalty for locking. For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc). This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in. Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set. Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson <emunson@akamai.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.

mm: munlock: fix a bug where THP tail page is encountered Since commit ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. However, when the head page already has PageMlocked unset, it will not skip the tail pages. Commit 7225522bb429 ("mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec") has added a PageTransHuge() check which contains VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)). Sasha Levin found this triggered using trinity, on the first tail page of a THP page without PageMlocked flag. This patch fixes the issue by skipping tail pages also in the case when PageMlocked flag is unset. There is still a possibility of race with THP page split between clearing PageMlocked and determining how many pages to skip. The race might result in former tail pages not being skipped, which is however no longer a bug, as during the skip the PageTail flags are cleared. However this race also affects correctness of NR_MLOCK accounting, which is to be fixed in a separate patch.

We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I think we have accounting issue already on step two. Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd(). This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect unevictable small pages and mlock them.

It's worse than slowness if mlock() is terminated by Out Of Memory kill: the munlock_vma_pages_all() in exit_mmap() insists on faulting in all the pages which mlock() could not find memory for; so innocent bystanders are killed too, and perhaps the system hangs. __get_user_pages() does a lot that's silly for munlock(): so remove the munlock option from __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and use a simple loop of follow_page()s in munlock_vma_pages_range() instead; ignoring absent pages, and not marking present pages as accessed or dirty. (Change munlock() to only go so far as mlock() reached? That does not work out, given the convention that mlock() claims complete success even when it has to give up early - in part so that an underlying file can be extended later, and those pages locked which earlier would give SIGBUS.)

mlock: only hold mmap_sem in shared mode when faulting in pages Currently mlock() holds mmap_sem in exclusive mode while the pages get faulted in. In the case of a large mlock, this can potentially take a very long time, during which various commands such as 'ps auxw' will block. This makes sysadmins unhappy: real 14m36.232s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.015s (output from 'time ps auxw' while a 20GB file was being mlocked without being previously preloaded into page cache) I propose that mlock() could release mmap_sem after the VM_LOCKED bits have been set in all appropriate VMAs. Then a second pass could be done to actually mlock the pages, in small batches, releasing mmap_sem when we block on disk access or when we detect some contention. This patch: Before this change, mlock() holds mmap_sem in exclusive mode while the pages get faulted in. In the case of a large mlock, this can potentially take a very long time. Various things will block while mmap_sem is held, including 'ps auxw'. This can make sysadmins angry. I propose that mlock() could release mmap_sem after the VM_LOCKED bits have been set in all appropriate VMAs. Then a second pass could be done to actually mlock the pages with mmap_sem held for reads only. We need to recheck the vma flags after we re-acquire mmap_sem, but this is easy. In the case where a vma has been munlocked before mlock completes, pages that were already marked as PageMlocked() are handled by the munlock() call, and mlock() is careful to not mark new page batches as PageMlocked() after the munlock() call has cleared the VM_LOCKED vma flags. So, the end result will be identical to what'd happen if munlock() had executed after the mlock() call. In a later change, I will allow the second pass to release mmap_sem when blocking on disk accesses or when it is otherwise contended, so that it won't be held for long periods of time even in shared mode.

mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via the new mlock system calls. We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall. MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED. MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags. When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT in either mlockall() invocation. munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall() unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags field.

mlock: only hold mmap_sem in shared mode when faulting in pages Currently mlock() holds mmap_sem in exclusive mode while the pages get faulted in. In the case of a large mlock, this can potentially take a very long time, during which various commands such as 'ps auxw' will block. This makes sysadmins unhappy: real 14m36.232s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.015s (output from 'time ps auxw' while a 20GB file was being mlocked without being previously preloaded into page cache) I propose that mlock() could release mmap_sem after the VM_LOCKED bits have been set in all appropriate VMAs. Then a second pass could be done to actually mlock the pages, in small batches, releasing mmap_sem when we block on disk access or when we detect some contention. This patch: Before this change, mlock() holds mmap_sem in exclusive mode while the pages get faulted in. In the case of a large mlock, this can potentially take a very long time. Various things will block while mmap_sem is held, including 'ps auxw'. This can make sysadmins angry. I propose that mlock() could release mmap_sem after the VM_LOCKED bits have been set in all appropriate VMAs. Then a second pass could be done to actually mlock the pages with mmap_sem held for reads only. We need to recheck the vma flags after we re-acquire mmap_sem, but this is easy. In the case where a vma has been munlocked before mlock completes, pages that were already marked as PageMlocked() are handled by the munlock() call, and mlock() is careful to not mark new page batches as PageMlocked() after the munlock() call has cleared the VM_LOCKED vma flags. So, the end result will be identical to what'd happen if munlock() had executed after the mlock() call. In a later change, I will allow the second pass to release mmap_sem when blocking on disk accesses or when it is otherwise contended, so that it won't be held for long periods of time even in shared mode.

out:
mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated. For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they are not faulted in by the mlock call. This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way, or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall(). There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every time such a buffer is created. The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed. This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing. For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep the accounting checks out of the page fault path. To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a 5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across the 20 runs in milliseconds. mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range: Setup avg: 8228.666 Processing avg: 8274.257 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access: Setup avg: 0.113 Processing avg: 90993.552 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page: With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get: Setup avg: 0.058 Processing avg: 69488.073 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages: Setup avg: 0.068 Processing avg: 38204.116 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages: Setup avg: 0.044 Processing avg: 29671.180 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range: Setup avg: 0.189 Processing avg: 17904.899 The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far beyond the end of the mapping. These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once, otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster. The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I have tested (stream and kernbench). The following are the average values across 20 runs of stream and 10 runs of kernbench after a warmup run whose results were discarded.

A later patch in this set will extend mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted in immediately and unlocked pages. To pave the way for the new system call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags.

mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via the new mlock system calls. We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall. MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED. MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags. When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT in either mlockall() invocation. munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall() unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags field.

Results are averages across the 20 runs in milliseconds. mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range: Setup avg: 8228.666 Processing avg: 8274.257 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access: Setup avg: 0.113 Processing avg: 90993.552 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page: With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get: Setup avg: 0.058 Processing avg: 69488.073 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages: Setup avg: 0.068 Processing avg: 38204.116 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages: Setup avg: 0.044 Processing avg: 29671.180 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range: Setup avg: 0.189 Processing avg: 17904.899 The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far beyond the end of the mapping. These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once, otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster.

mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated. For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they are not faulted in by the mlock call. This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way, or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall(). There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every time such a buffer is created. The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed. This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing. For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep the accounting checks out of the page fault path. To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a 5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the entire region.

mm: remove lru_add_drain_all() from the munlock path lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task have mmap_sem. Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list. So removing is better. In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing is better. Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real trouble.

mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated. For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they are not faulted in by the mlock call. This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way, or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall(). There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every time such a buffer is created. The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed. This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing. For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep the accounting checks out of the page fault path. To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a 5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across the 20 runs in milliseconds. mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range: Setup avg: 8228.666 Processing avg: 8274.257 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access: Setup avg: 0.113 Processing avg: 90993.552 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page: With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get: Setup avg: 0.058 Processing avg: 69488.073 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages: Setup avg: 0.068 Processing avg: 38204.116 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages: Setup avg: 0.044 Processing avg: 29671.180 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range: Setup avg: 0.189 Processing avg: 17904.899 The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping.

This patch adds the ability to set this state via the new mlock system calls. We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall. MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED. MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags. When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT in either mlockall() invocation. munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall() unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags field.

mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via the new mlock system calls. We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall. MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED. MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags. When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT in either mlockall() invocation. munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall() unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags field.

mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated. For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they are not faulted in by the mlock call. This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way, or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall(). There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every time such a buffer is created. The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed. This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing. For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep the accounting checks out of the page fault path. To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a 5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across the 20 runs in milliseconds. mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range: Setup avg: 8228.666 Processing avg: 8274.257 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access: Setup avg: 0.113 Processing avg: 90993.552 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page: With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get: Setup avg: 0.058 Processing avg: 69488.073 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages: Setup avg: 0.068 Processing avg: 38204.116 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages: Setup avg: 0.044 Processing avg: 29671.180 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range: Setup avg: 0.189 Processing avg: 17904.899 The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far beyond the end of the mapping. These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once, otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster. The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I have tested (stream and kernbench).

mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via the new mlock system calls. We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall. MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED. MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags. When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT in either mlockall() invocation. munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall() unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags field.

mm: remove lru_add_drain_all() from the munlock path lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task have mmap_sem. Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list. So removing is better. In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing is better. Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real trouble.

mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated. For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not ideal. Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are allocated, this set creates a middle ground. Pages are marked to be placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they are not faulted in by the mlock call. This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags argument along with the start address and size. This flags argument gives the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way, or to be locked after the page is faulted in. A new MCL flag is added to mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall(). There are two main use cases that this set covers. The first is the security focussed mlock case. A buffer is needed that cannot be written to swap. The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is significantly less than this maximum. With lock on fault, the buffer is guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every time such a buffer is created. The second use case is focussed on performance. Portions of a large file are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed. This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the graph is not known until run time. The entire graph is unlikely to be used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay resident for further processing. Given these constraints we have a number of options. We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as the entire file is read in). We can mlock every page as we access them without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large overhead for each access. The third option is mapping the entire region with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page. Doing this page at a time adds a significant performance penalty. Batching can be used to mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler. This is precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing. For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is created not when the pages are faulted in. For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used. This decision was made to keep the accounting checks out of the page fault path. To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a 5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to random addresses in that mapping. The test program was run 20 times for each setup. Results are reported for two program portions, setup and execution. The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the entire region. For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights the cost of faulting in the entire region. Results are averages across the 20 runs in milliseconds. mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range: Setup avg: 8228.666 Processing avg: 8274.257 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access: Setup avg: 0.113 Processing avg: 90993.552 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page: With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get: Setup avg: 0.058 Processing avg: 69488.073 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages: Setup avg: 0.068 Processing avg: 38204.116 mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages: Setup avg: 0.044 Processing avg: 29671.180 mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range: Setup avg: 0.189 Processing avg: 17904.899 The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping. The first step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be possible to lock. The second step speculatively tries to mlock and mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow. There may be a clever way to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find it. It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far beyond the end of the mapping. These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once, otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster. The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I have tested (stream and kernbench).

A later patch in this set will extend mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted in immediately and unlocked pages. To pave the way for the new system call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags.

Avg throughput in MB/s from stream using 1000000 element arrays Test 4.2-rc1 4.2-rc1+lock-on-fault Copy: 10,566.5 10,421 Scale: 10,685 10,503.5 Add: 12,044.1 11,814.2 Triad: 12,064.8 11,846.3 Kernbench optimal load 4.2-rc1 4.2-rc1+lock-on-fault Elapsed Time 78.453 78.991 User Time 64.2395 65.2355 System Time 9.7335 9.7085 Context Switches 22211.5 22412.1 Sleeps 14965.3 14956.1 This patch (of 6): Extending the mlock system call is very difficult because it currently does not take a flags argument. A later patch in this set will extend mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted in immediately and unlocked pages. To pave the way for the new system call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags.
