zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim
and it's also updated during page free. Move the counter into vmstat to
take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.
On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example
o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
allocation policy.
o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area
o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
line on a stat update
This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.
On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.
This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET
should be set in allocflags. ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation
should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems.
Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent
the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim. Thus, it
is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a
side-effect.
This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is
truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

This happens because init_cma_reserved_pageblock() calls
__free_one_page() with pageblock_order as page order but it is bigger
than MAX_ORDER. This in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[].
Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it
splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger
than a MAX_ORDER page.
In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all
architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the
âpageblock_order > MAX_ORDERâ condition will be optimised out since both
sides of the operator are constants. In cases where pageblock size is
variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway
since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most
MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.

However, if the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl is set by the user, it
is also impossible to restore it to the kernel default since the user
cannot write 0 to the sysctl.
This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior.
It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as
stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7]
is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL.
This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This
patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate
the bits of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the
bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no
other changes made in parallel.
In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related
functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%.
In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are
possible between:
a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype()
reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after
set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them.
b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic
read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause
lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype().
Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection. Vlastimil
Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs
roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not
necessarily in the same pageblock). Furthermore during development of
unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to
{start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of
times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages()
and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is
manipulated by e.g. list_move(). Further debugging confirmed that
migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the
free_list array.
That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare,
and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to
memory hot remove. Races on pageblocks being updated by
set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are
lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value
being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to
unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks.
Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is
used more, or when new migratetypes are added.
After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

cases are relatively rare events but the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check is an
unlikely branch in the fast path. This patch moves the check out of the

path slower and hitting kswapd with a performance cost. It's a reasonable

Synchronous memory compaction can be very expensive: it can iterate an
enormous amount of memory without aborting, constantly rescheduling,
waiting on page locks and lru_lock, etc, if a pageblock cannot be
defragmented.
Unfortunately, it's too expensive for transparent hugepage page faults and
it's much better to simply fallback to pages. On 128GB machines, we find
that synchronous memory compaction can take O(seconds) for a single thp

Now that async compaction remembers where it left off without strictly
relying on sync compaction, this makes thp allocations best-effort without
causing egregious latency during fault. We still need to retry async
compaction after reclaim, but this won't stall for seconds.

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the
page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.
Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.
This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.
This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.
If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch
introduces no functional change.

For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get
misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get
allocated prematurely and e.g. fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks.
While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should
prevent the misplacement where possible.
Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a
MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a
fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back
through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used. This happens
because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose
the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with
the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to
set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to
__rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's
migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from) is used.
Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page
stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care
to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.
Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to
get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can
be removed completely. This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above. The
related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory
isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp
lists containing pages that should be isolated. The buffered_rmqueue()
can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of
get_pageblock_migratetype().

When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances
punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA
node. NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are
NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to
zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the
problem.
Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect
when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a
sensible default for the bulk of users.
This patch (of 2):
zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from
local node instead of spilling over to other nodes. This made sense
initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the
workload was partitioned into nodes. The NUMA penalties were
sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory. On current machines
and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys
performance but not all users know how to detect this. Favour the
common case and disable it by default. Users that are sophisticated
enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.
The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE()
macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call
get_page() and a few other routines.
This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL.
Longer explanation:
Prior to commit 309381feae ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON
using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL)
drivers on Fedora. Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets
CONFIG_VM_DEBUG.
Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(),
via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page(). As one of the authors of NVIDIA's
new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use
the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c,
because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use
by non-GPL, driver code.
So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be
too controversial. We did check with Fedora first, and they responded
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should
try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change. Their
reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows
Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous
pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes.
This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone
allocator policy") and fff4068cba ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect
of fair allocation policy").
Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones,
including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now,
the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can
only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on
exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in
the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still
have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node
or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely.
Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is
allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but
before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds.
This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness
protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which
GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up.
However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them
over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could
underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use
atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the
delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine
although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory
which could be swapped out. In the end it turned out that the OOM was a
side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and
so the system was pushed to the OOM. Although this sounds like a bug
somewhere in the kswapd vs. zone reclaim vs. direct reclaim
interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim
should not have been set in the first place:
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 free: 0 MB
node 2 cpus:
node 2 size: 7168 MB
node 2 free: 6019 MB
node distances:
node 0 2
0: 10 40
2: 40 10
So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory
while Node2 contains all the available memory. Node distances cause an
automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling.
Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't
make any sense on the memoryless nodes. So let's exclude such nodes for
init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and
suitable reclaim_nodes.

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory

seqcount interface.
This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),

Jan Stancek reports manual page migration encountering allocation
failures after some pages when there is still plenty of memory free, and
bisected the problem down to commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair
zone allocator policy").
The problem is that GFP_THISNODE obeys the zone fairness allocation
batches on one hand, but doesn't reset them and wake kswapd on the other
hand. After a few of those allocations, the batches are exhausted and
the allocations fail.
Fixing this means either having GFP_THISNODE wake up kswapd, or
GFP_THISNODE not participating in zone fairness at all. The latter
seems safer as an acute bugfix, we can clean up later.

Commit bf6bddf192 ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for
ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction
which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page).
This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the
aforementioned page_count(page). Indeed, anything that does
compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with
prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page
pointer.
This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that
deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head()
implementation. This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that
if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither
NULL nor dangling. The patch then adds a store memory barrier to
prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set.
This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are
expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the
memory barriers are unfortunately required.
Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier
during init since no race is possible.

Commit 4b59e6c473 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in
non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to
suppress PFN walks on large memory machines. Commit c78e93630d ("mm:
do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in
the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for
SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case.
This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations
that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity. ARM and unicore32
still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a
much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of
use. As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small
amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

Yasuaki Ishimatsu reported memory hot-add spent more than 5 _hours_ on
9TB memory machine since onlining memory sections is too slow. And we
found out setup_zone_migrate_reserve spent >90% of the time.
The problem is, setup_zone_migrate_reserve scans all pageblocks
unconditionally, but it is only necessary if the number of reserved
block was reduced (i.e. memory hot remove).
Moreover, maximum MIGRATE_RESERVE per zone is currently 2. It means
that the number of reserved pageblocks is almost always unchanged.
This patch adds zone->nr_migrate_reserve_block to maintain the number of
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks and it reduces the overhead of
setup_zone_migrate_reserve dramatically. The following table shows time
of onlining a memory section.

Commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant
to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous
and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems.
Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to
make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all
allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the
highest zone in the node.
While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is
obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes -
remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality
over memory utilization. The original change assumed that
zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it
turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip.
Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to
make it configurable and agree on a sane default.

Dave Hansen noted a regression in a microbenchmark that loops around
open() and close() on an 8-node NUMA machine and bisected it down to
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy").
That change forces the slab allocations of the file descriptor to spread
out to all 8 nodes, causing remote references in the page allocator and
slab.
The round-robin policy is only there to provide fairness among memory
allocations that are reclaimed involuntarily based on pressure in each
zone. It does not make sense to apply it to unreclaimable kernel
allocations that are freed manually, in this case instantly after the
allocation, and incur the remote reference costs twice for no reason.
Only round-robin allocations that are usually freed through page reclaim
or slab shrinking.

When __rmqueue_fallback() doesn't find a free block with the required size
it splits a larger page and puts the rest of the page onto the free list.
But it has one serious mistake. When putting back, __rmqueue_fallback()
always use start_migratetype if type is not CMA. However,
__rmqueue_fallback() is only called when all of the start_migratetype
queue is empty. That said, __rmqueue_fallback always puts back memory to
the wrong queue except try_to_steal_freepages() changed pageblock type
(i.e. requested size is smaller than half of page block). The end result
is that the antifragmentation framework increases fragmenation instead of
decreasing it.
Mel's original anti fragmentation does the right thing. But commit
47118af076 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") broke it.
This patch restores sane and old behavior. It also removes an incorrect

[ Fixed build failure on 32-bit systems. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
page boundary.
To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.
To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.
First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults can result in lower performance overall.
The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.
The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description,
please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74.
Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free
pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is
heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim
path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton
enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives
in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock:
kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still
not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again
to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to
0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at
73ce02e9 in detail. If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep
and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0. It assume high-order users
can still perform direct reclaim if they wish.
Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a
COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on
zone->all_unreclaimble= . This is because to avoid too early oom-kill.
So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop.
In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when
kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill
the process. As described in:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737
We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because
direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy. Thus this
patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates
zone reclaimable state every time.
Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned
directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable. Because, it
is racy. commit 929bea7c71 (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use
zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a
hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch
series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
can offline such memory blocks.
What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to
decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy
pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining
in the memory block intervene the memory offlining. For this reason we
introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
dissolve_free_huge_pages().
Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().
As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave
it to fail as it is.

The main idea behind this patchset is to reduce the vmstat update overhead
by avoiding interrupt enable/disable and the use of per cpu atomics.
This patch (of 3):
It is better to have a separate folding function because
refresh_cpu_vm_stats() also does other things like expire pages in the
page allocator caches.
If we have a separate function then refresh_cpu_vm_stats() is only called
from the local cpu which allows additional optimizations.
The folding function is only called when a cpu is being downed and
therefore no other processor will be accessing the counters. Also
simplifies synchronization.

Each zone that holds userspace pages of one workload must be aged at a
speed proportional to the zone size. Otherwise, the time an individual
page gets to stay in memory depends on the zone it happened to be
allocated in. Asymmetry in the zone aging creates rather unpredictable
aging behavior and results in the wrong pages being reclaimed, activated
etc.
But exactly this happens right now because of the way the page allocator
and kswapd interact. The page allocator uses per-node lists of all zones
in the system, ordered by preference, when allocating a new page. When
the first iteration does not yield any results, kswapd is woken up and the
allocator retries. Due to the way kswapd reclaims zones below the high
watermark while a zone can be allocated from when it is above the low
watermark, the allocator may keep kswapd running while kswapd reclaim
ensures that the page allocator can keep allocating from the first zone in
the zonelist for extended periods of time. Meanwhile the other zones
rarely see new allocations and thus get aged much slower in comparison.
The result is that the occasional page placed in lower zones gets
relatively more time in memory, even gets promoted to the active list
after its peers have long been evicted. Meanwhile, the bulk of the
working set may be thrashing on the preferred zone even though there may
be significant amounts of memory available in the lower zones.
Even the most basic test -- repeatedly reading a file slightly bigger than
memory -- shows how broken the zone aging is. In this scenario, no single
page should be able stay in memory long enough to get referenced twice and
activated, but activation happens in spades:
$ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
nr_inactive_file 0
nr_active_file 0
nr_inactive_file 0
nr_active_file 8
nr_inactive_file 1582
nr_active_file 11994
$ cat data data data data >/dev/null
$ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
nr_inactive_file 0
nr_active_file 70
nr_inactive_file 258753
nr_active_file 443214
nr_inactive_file 149793
nr_active_file 12021
Fix this with a very simple round robin allocator. Each zone is allowed a
batch of allocations that is proportional to the zone's size, after which
it is treated as full. The batch counters are reset when all zones have
been tried and the allocator enters the slowpath and kicks off kswapd
reclaim. Allocation and reclaim is now fairly spread out to all
available/allowable zones:
$ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
nr_inactive_file 0
nr_active_file 0
nr_inactive_file 174
nr_active_file 4865
nr_inactive_file 53
nr_active_file 860
$ cat data data data data >/dev/null
$ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
nr_inactive_file 0
nr_active_file 0
nr_inactive_file 666622
nr_active_file 4988
nr_inactive_file 190969
nr_active_file 937
When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, allocations will now spread out to all
zones on the local node, not just the first preferred zone (which on a 4G
node might be a tiny Normal zone).

We should not check loop+1 with loop end in loop body. Just duplicate two

In the current code, the value of fallback_migratetype that is printed
using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint, is the value of the
migratetype *after* it has been set to the preferred migratetype (if the
ownership was changed). Obviously that wouldn't have been the original
intent. (We already have a separate 'change_ownership' field to tell
whether the ownership of the pageblock was changed from the
fallback_migratetype to the preferred type.)
The intent of the fallback_migratetype field is to show the migratetype
from which we borrowed pages in order to satisfy the allocation request.
So fix the code to print that value correctly.

The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to
follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside!
First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of
pageblocks. Under some conditions, we try to move upto
'pageblock_nr_pages' no. of pages to the preferred allocation list. But
we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we
manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if
page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set).
However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the
'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we
actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not. So, the
page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e.,
'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0).
So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to
the right place. But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype'
variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()".
Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is
MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to
start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is
MIGRATE_CMA!!
To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in
practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA.
So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand
what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug. And while at it,
also add a comment explaining the subtlety behind the migratetype used in
the call to expand().

In __rmqueue_fallback(), current_order loops down from MAX_ORDER - 1 to
the order passed. MAX_ORDER is typically 11 and pageblock_order is
typically 9 on x86. Integer division truncates, so pageblock_order / 2
is 4. For the first eight iterations, it's guaranteed that
current_order >= pageblock_order / 2 if it even gets that far!
So just remove the unlikely(), it's completely bogus.

That is to say, we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid to get start_pfn and

unnecessary if we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid before

As reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501,
"MemTotal" from /proc/meminfo means memory pages managed by the buddy
system (managed_pages), but "MemTotal" from /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo
means physical pages present (present_pages) within the NUMA node.
There's a difference between managed_pages and present_pages due to
bootmem allocator and reserved pages.
And Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt says
MemTotal: Total usable ram (i.e. physical ram minus a few reserved
bits and the kernel binary code)
So change /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo to report available pages within
the node as "MemTotal".

In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot
time. With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem() will only be
used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time, so mark it as __init.
Other callers of __free_pages_bootmem() have been converted to use
free_reserved_page(), which handles totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages in a safer way.
This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should
increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing
reserved pages.
And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in
put_page_bootmem(). This greatly simplifies the locking rules.

Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to
protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory
hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be
modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon,
virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little
too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages.
Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages as:
1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long.
2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context.
3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated
managed_page_count_lock.
Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the
buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in
consistence.

Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes
that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function
mem_init(). But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve
some highmem pages during boot. For example PPC may allocate highmem
pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to
check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot
when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system.
So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to:
1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init().
2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

When memory hotplug is triggered, we call pageset_init() on
per-cpu-pagesets which both contain pages and are in use, causing both the
leakage of those pages and (potentially) bad behaviour if a page is
allocated from a pageset while it is being cleared.
Avoid this by factoring out pageset_set_high_and_batch() (which contains
all needed logic too set a pageset's ->high and ->batch inrespective of
system state) from zone_pageset_init() and using the new
pageset_set_high_and_batch() instead of zone_pageset_init() in
zone_pcp_update().

zone_pcp_update()'s goal is to adjust the ->high and ->mark members of a
percpu pageset based on a zone's ->managed_pages. We don't need to drain
the entire percpu pageset just to modify these fields.
This lets us avoid calling setup_pageset() (and the draining required to
call it) and instead allows simply setting the fields' values (with some
attention paid to memory barriers to prevent the relationship between
->batch and ->high from being thrown off).
This does change the behavior of zone_pcp_update() as the percpu pagesets
will not be drained when zone_pcp_update() is called (they will end up
being shrunk, not completely drained, later when a 0-order page is freed
in free_hot_cold_page()).

Introduce pageset_update() to perform a safe transision from one set of
pcp->{batch,high} to a new set using memory barriers.
This ensures that batch is always set to a safe value (1) prior to
updating high, and ensure that high is fully updated before setting the
real value of batch. It avoids ->batch ever rising above ->high.

"Problems" with the current code:
1: there is a lack of synchronization in setting ->high and ->batch in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()
2: stop_machine() in zone_pcp_update() is unnecissary.
3: zone_pcp_update() does not consider the case where
percpu_pagelist_fraction is non-zero
To fix:
1: add memory barriers, a safe ->batch value, an update side mutex when
updating ->high and ->batch, and use ACCESS_ONCE() for ->batch users
that expect a stable value.
2: avoid draining pages in zone_pcp_update(), rely upon the memory
barriers added to fix#1
3: factor out quite a few functions, and then call the appropriate one.
Note that it results in a change to the behavior of zone_pcp_update(),
which is used by memory_hotplug. I'm rather certain that I've diserned
(and preserved) the essential behavior (changing ->high and ->batch), and
only eliminated unneeded actions (draining the per cpu pages), but this
may not be the case.
Further note that the draining of pages that previously took place in
zone_pcp_update() occured after repeated draining when attempting to
offline a page, and after the offline has "succeeded". It appears that
the draining was added to zone_pcp_update() to avoid refactoring
setup_pageset() into 2 funtions.
This patch:
Creates pageset_set_batch() for use in setup_pageset().
pageset_set_batch() imitates the functionality of
setup_pagelist_highmark(), but uses the boot time
(percpu_pagelist_fraction == 0) calculations for determining ->high based
on ->batch.

The watermark check consists of two sub-checks. The first one is:
if (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve)
return false;
The check assures that there is minimal amount of RAM in the zone. If
CMA is used then the free_pages is reduced by the number of free pages
in CMA prior to the over-mentioned check.
if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CMA))
free_pages -= zone_page_state(z, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES);
This prevents the zone from being drained from pages available for
non-movable allocations.
The second check prevents the zone from getting too fragmented.
for (o = 0; o < order; o++) {
free_pages -= z->free_area[o].nr_free << o;
min >>= 1;
if (free_pages <= min)
return false;
}
The field z->free_area[o].nr_free is equal to the number of free pages
including free CMA pages. Therefore the CMA pages are subtracted twice.
This may cause a false positive fail of __zone_watermark_ok() if the CMA
area gets strongly fragmented. In such a case there are many 0-order
free pages located in CMA. Those pages are subtracted twice therefore
they will quickly drain free_pages during the check against
fragmentation. The test fails even though there are many free non-cma
pages in the zone.
This patch fixes this issue by subtracting CMA pages only for a purpose of
(free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) check.
Laura said:
We were observing allocation failures of higher order pages (order 5 =
128K typically) under tight memory conditions resulting in driver
failure. The output from the page allocation failure showed plenty of
free pages of the appropriate order/type/zone and mostly CMA pages in
the lower orders.
For full disclosure, we still observed some page allocation failures
even after applying the patch but the number was drastically reduced and
those failures were attributed to fragmentation/other system issues.

When booting on a large memory system, the kernel spends considerable
time in memmap_init_zone() setting up memory zones. Analysis shows
significant time spent in __early_pfn_to_nid().
The routine memmap_init_zone() checks each PFN to verify the nid is
valid. __early_pfn_to_nid() sequentially scans the list of pfn ranges
to find the right range and returns the nid. This does not scale well.
On a 4 TB (single rack) system there are 308 memory ranges to scan. The
higher the PFN the more time spent sequentially spinning through memory
ranges.
Since memmap_init_zone() increments pfn, it will almost always be
looking for the same range as the previous pfn, so check that range
first. If it is in the same range, return that nid. If not, scan the
list as before.
A 4 TB (single rack) UV1 system takes 512 seconds to get through the
zone code. This performance optimization reduces the time by 189
seconds, a 36% improvement.
A 2 TB (single rack) UV2 system goes from 212.7 seconds to 99.8 seconds,
a 112.9 second (53%) reduction.

The following problem was reported against a distribution kernel when
zone_reclaim was enabled but the same problem applies to the mainline
kernel. The reproduction case was as follows
1. Run numactl -m +0 dd if=largefile of=/dev/null
This allocates a large number of clean pages in node 0
2. numactl -N +0 memhog 0.5*Mg
This start a memory-using application in node 0.
The expected behaviour is that the clean pages get reclaimed and the
application uses node 0 for its memory. The observed behaviour was that
the memory for the memhog application was allocated off-node since
commits cd38b115d5 ("mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone
eligible for zone_reclaim") and commit 76d3fbf8fb ("mm: page
allocator: reconsider zones for allocation after direct reclaim").
The assumption of those patches was that it was always preferable to
allocate quickly than stall for long periods of time and they were meant
to take care that the zone was only marked full when necessary but an
important case was missed.
In the allocator fast path, only the low watermarks are checked. If the
zones free pages are between the low and min watermark then allocations
from the allocators slow path will succeed. However, zone_reclaim will
only reclaim SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX or 1<<order pages. There is no guarantee
that this will meet the low watermark causing the zone to be marked full
prematurely.
This patch will only mark the zone full after zone_reclaim if it the min
watermarks are checked or if page reclaim failed to make sufficient
progress.

Particularly in oom conditions, it's troublesome that hugetlb memory is

what is expected, and there is no artifact left in the kernel log to
show that a potentially significant amount of memory is actually
allocated as hugepages which are not available to be reclaimed.

shown in oom conditions. For example, with echo m >

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.
In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.
To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")
It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
can not be just removed. Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
and make fall back path working.
2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
it should be moved before that....
c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
early before override from INITRD is settled.
3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
be routed via tip/x86/mm.
4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
anymore.
d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
not good.
If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.
We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.
So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
f7210e6c4a ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
01a178a94e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
SRAT")
27168d38fa ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
the end of node")
e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
ready")
fb06bc8e5f ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")
42f47e27e7 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")
6981ec3114 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
movable limit for nodes")
34b71f1e04 ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
4d59a75125 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

Add 2 helpers (zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()) to reduce code

This also switches to using them in compaction (where an additional

kmemleak.
Note that in compaction.c I avoid calling zone_end_pfn() repeatedly
because I expect at some point the sycronization issues with start_pfn &
spanned_pages will need fixing, either by actually using the seqlock or
clever memory barrier usage.

The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and

struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have
reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in
memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to
page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as
it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more
conflicts than it is worth.

This patch introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO on process flag('flags' field of
'struct task_struct'), so that the flag can be set by one task to avoid
doing I/O inside memory allocation in the task's context.
The patch trys to solve one deadlock problem caused by block device, and
the problem may happen at least in the below situations:
- during block device runtime resume, if memory allocation with
GFP_KERNEL is called inside runtime resume callback of any one of its
ancestors(or the block device itself), the deadlock may be triggered
inside the memory allocation since it might not complete until the block
device becomes active and the involed page I/O finishes. The situation
is pointed out first by Alan Stern. It is not a good approach to
convert all GFP_KERNEL[1] in the path into GFP_NOIO because several
subsystems may be involved(for example, PCI, USB and SCSI may be
involved for usb mass stoarage device, network devices involved too in
the iSCSI case)
- during block device runtime suspend, because runtime resume need to
wait for completion of concurrent runtime suspend.
- during error handling of usb mass storage deivce, USB bus reset will
be put on the device, so there shouldn't have any memory allocation with
GFP_KERNEL during USB bus reset, otherwise the deadlock similar with
above may be triggered. Unfortunately, any usb device may include one
mass storage interface in theory, so it requires all usb interface
drivers to handle the situation. In fact, most usb drivers don't know
how to handle bus reset on the device and don't provide .pre_set() and
.post_reset() callback at all, so USB core has to unbind and bind driver
for these devices. So it is still not practical to resort to GFP_NOIO
for solving the problem.
Also the introduced solution can be used by block subsystem or block
drivers too, for example, set the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag before doing
actual I/O transfer.
It is not a good idea to convert all these GFP_KERNEL in the affected
path into GFP_NOIO because these functions doing that may be implemented
as library and will be called in many other contexts.
In fact, memalloc_noio_flags() can convert some of current static
GFP_NOIO allocation into GFP_KERNEL back in other non-affected contexts,
at least almost all GFP_NOIO in USB subsystem can be converted into
GFP_KERNEL after applying the approach and make allocation with GFP_NOIO
only happen in runtime resume/bus reset/block I/O transfer contexts
generally.
[1], several GFP_KERNEL allocation examples in runtime resume path
- pci subsystem
acpi_os_allocate
<-acpi_ut_allocate
<-ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED
<-acpi_evaluate_object
<-__acpi_bus_set_power
<-acpi_bus_set_power
<-acpi_pci_set_power_state
<-platform_pci_set_power_state
<-pci_platform_power_transition
<-__pci_complete_power_transition
<-pci_set_power_state
<-pci_restore_standard_config
<-pci_pm_runtime_resume
- usb subsystem
usb_get_status
<-finish_port_resume
<-usb_port_resume
<-generic_resume
<-usb_resume_device
<-usb_resume_both
<-usb_runtime_resume
- some individual usb drivers
usblp, uvc, gspca, most of dvb-usb-v2 media drivers, cpia2, az6007, ....
That is just what I have found. Unfortunately, this allocation can only
be found by human being now, and there should be many not found since
any function in the resume path(call tree) may allocate memory with
GFP_KERNEL.

We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical
memory address in kernel commandline.
/*
* For movablemem_map=acpi:
*
* SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ......
* node id: 0 1 1 2
* hotpluggable: n y y n
* movablemem_map: |_____| |_________|
*
* Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory
* on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time.
*/
So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use
hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set
as ZONE_MOVABLE.
If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be
used by kernel. But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve
some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so
on. We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory. So we need to
exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable.
Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node
which the kernel resides in. We may skip one range that have memory
reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the
kernel will fail to boot. So, make the whole node which the kernel
resides in un-hotpluggable. Then the kernel has enough memory to use.
NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the
whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory
on it. If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use
it.

Since ZONE_MOVABLE is the latst zone of a node, if user didn't specify
the whole node memory range, we need to extend it to the node end so
that we can use it to prevent memblock from allocating memory in the
ranges user didn't specify.
We now implement movablemem_map boot option like this:

Fix up conflict in kernel/context_tracking.c due to comment additions.
Commit c060f943d0 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.
However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.
This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.
In the meantime, commit c060f943d0 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when
waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket. It was easier to trigger if
there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to
commit 1fb3f8ca0e ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
immediately when it is made available").
The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under
memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt
THP allocations but the approach was flawed. For Eric, the problem was
that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading
to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to
be dropped. However, I identified a few more problems with the patch
including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some
cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early.
In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach. What it should
have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it
was allocating for THP and avoided races that way. While the patch was
showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is
marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from
scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have
taken place since the patch was first written and tested. This patch
partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e ("mm: compaction: capture a
suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn -
zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for
all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to
pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct.
Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB:
pfn | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order
----------------------------------------------------------------
0x26000 | 0x25e00 | 0x97
0x26100 | 0x25f00 | 0x97
0x26200 | 0x26000 | 0x98
0x26300 | 0x26100 | 0x98
This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page
will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding
down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.
For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact
that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen.
Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from
visual glitches to application failures.

Commit 702d1a6e07 ("memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever
problem") added an isolated pageblocks counter (nr_pageblock_isolate in
struct zone) and used it to adjust free pages counter in
zone_watermark_ok_safe() to prevent kswapd looping forever problem.
Then later, commit 2139cbe627 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages")
fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter. It
made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and
potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice
making free pages counter incorrect).
This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether
which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.

When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the
page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate
the allocation. Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed.
To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would
necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason,
whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible
for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at
free_pages() time. This is done by the invocation of
__free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().

While allocating pages using buddy allocator, the compound page is
probably split up to free pages. Under these circumstances, the compound
page should be destroyed by destroy_compound_page(). However, there is a
duplicate check to judge if the page is compound.
Remove the duplicate check since the compound_order() returns 0 when the
page doesn't have PG_head set in destroy_compound_page(). That is to say,
destroy_compound_page() needn't check PageHead().

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma
Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

"The rest of most-of-MM. The other MM bits await a slab merge.
This patch includes the addition of a huge zero_page. Not a
performance boost but it an save large amounts of physical memory in

Also a bunch of Fujitsu engineers are working on memory hotplug.
Which, as it turns out, was badly broken. About half of their patches

However, this merge disables CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, which was totally

Currently a zone's present_pages is calcuated as below, which is
inaccurate and may cause trouble to memory hotplug.
spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve.
During fixing bugs caused by inaccurate zone->present_pages, we found
zone->present_pages has been abused. The field zone->present_pages may
have different meanings in different contexts:
1) pages existing in a zone.
2) pages managed by the buddy system.
For more discussions about the issue, please refer to:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/866https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1346751/
This patchset tries to introduce a new field named "managed_pages" to
struct zone, which counts "pages managed by the buddy system". And revert
zone->present_pages to count "physical pages existing in a zone", which
also keep in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages.
We will set an initial value for zone->managed_pages in function
free_area_init_core() and will adjust it later if the initial value is
inaccurate.
For DMA/normal zones, the initial value is set to:
(spanned_pages - absent_pages - memmap_pages - dma_reserve)
Later zone->managed_pages will be adjusted to the accurate value when the
bootmem allocator frees all free pages to the buddy system in function
free_all_bootmem_node() and free_all_bootmem().
The bootmem allocator doesn't touch highmem pages, so highmem zones'
managed_pages is set to the accurate value "spanned_pages - absent_pages"
in function free_area_init_core() and won't be updated anymore.
This patch also adds a new field "managed_pages" to /proc/zoneinfo
and sysrq showmem.

so watermarks check is not required if one operates on a free page in
isolated pageblock.

The PATCH "mm: introduce compaction and migration for virtio ballooned pages"
hacks around putback_lru_pages() in order to allow ballooned pages to be
re-inserted on balloon page list as if a ballooned page was like a LRU page.
As ballooned pages are not legitimate LRU pages, this patch introduces
putback_movable_pages() to properly cope with cases where the isolated
pageset contains ballooned pages and LRU pages, thus fixing the mentioned
inelegant hack around putback_lru_pages().

We use __free_page() to put a page to buddy system when onlining pages.
__free_page() will store NR_FREE_PAGES in zone's pcp.vm_stat_diff, so we
should allocate zone's pcp before onlining pages, otherwise we will lose
some free pages.

NR_FREE_PAGES will be wrong after offlining pages. We add/dec
NR_FREE_PAGES like this now:
1. move all pages in buddy system to MIGRATE_ISOLATE, and dec NR_FREE_PAGES
2. don't add NR_FREE_PAGES when it is freed and the migratetype is
MIGRATE_ISOLATE
3. dec NR_FREE_PAGES when offlining isolated pages.
4. add NR_FREE_PAGES when undoing isolate pages.
When we come to step 3, all pages are in MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, and
NR_FREE_PAGES are right. When we come to step4, all pages are not in
buddy system, so we don't change NR_FREE_PAGES in this step, but we change
NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. So NR_FREE_PAGES is wrong after offlining pages.
So there is no need to change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3.
This patch also fixs a problem in step2: if the migratetype is
MIGRATE_ISOLATE, we should not add NR_FRR_PAGES when we remove pages from
pcppages.

This is useful to diagnose the reason for page allocation failure for
cases where there appear to be several free pages.
Example, with this alloc_pages(GFP_ATOMIC) failure:
swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x0
...
Mem-info:
Normal per-cpu:
CPU 0: hi: 90, btch: 15 usd: 48
CPU 1: hi: 90, btch: 15 usd: 21

lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0
Before the patch, it's hard (for me, at least) to say why all these free
chunks weren't considered for allocation:
Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB
1*1024kB 1*2048kB 3*4096kB = 16128kB
After the patch, it's obvious that the reason is that all of these are
in the MIGRATE_CMA (C) freelist:
Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB (C) 1*512kB

This reverts commits a50915394f and
d7c3b937bd.
This is a revert of a revert of a revert. In addition, it reverts the
even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
original commits in linux-next.
It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.
When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.
So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up. For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

There have been some 3.7-rc reports of vm issues, including some kswapd
bugs and, more importantly, some memory "leaks":
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg46187.htmlhttps://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50181
Commit 1fb3f8ca0e ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
immediately when it is made available") took split_free_page() and
reused it for the compaction code. It does something curious with
capture_free_page() (previously known as split_free_page()):
int capture_free_page(struct page *page, int alloc_order,
...
__mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, -(1UL << order));
- /* Split into individual pages */
- set_page_refcounted(page);
- split_page(page, order);
+ if (alloc_order != order)
+ expand(zone, page, alloc_order, order,
+ &zone->free_area[order], migratetype);
Note that expand() puts the pages _back_ in the allocator, but it does
not bump NR_FREE_PAGES. We "return" 'alloc_order' worth of pages, but
we accounted for removing 'order' in the __mod_zone_page_state() call.
For the old split_page()-style use (order==alloc_order) the bug will not
trigger. But, when called from the compaction code where we
occasionally get a larger page out of the buddy allocator than we need,
we will run in to this.
This patch simply changes the NR_FREE_PAGES manipulation to the correct
'alloc_order' instead of 'order'.
I've been able to repeatedly trigger this in my testing environment.
The amount "leaked" very closely tracks the imbalance I see in buddy
pages vs. NR_FREE_PAGES. I have confirmed that this patch fixes the
imbalance

Revert commit 7f1290f2f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")
That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that
change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.
Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)
But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60
IP: __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60
Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs
Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0)
Call Trace:
__pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140

__pagevec_lru_add+0x1c/0x30
lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130
lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
...
The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.
So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.
Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.
I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.

Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate
contiguous memory space.
This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out. Of course, it can affect
realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing
is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while
CMA is running. If someone wants to make the system realtime, he shouldn't
enable CMA because stalls can still happen at random times.

During memory-hotplug, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE] are increasing,
causing the kernel to hang. When the system doesn't have enough free
pages, it enters reclaim but never reclaim any pages due to
too_many_isolated()==true and loops forever.
The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove,
__zone_pcp_update() clears a zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset()
although the vm_stat_diff of all CPUs still have values.
In addtion, when we offline all pages of the zone, we reset them in
zone_pcp_reset without draining so we loss some zone stat item.

RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is
deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from
a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such
a distance.
To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two
nodes on the system is greather than this distance. This, however, ends
up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of
its affinity.
What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than
RECLAIM_DISTANCE. This patch adds a nodemask to each node that
represents the set of nodes that are within this distance. During the
zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node,
then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.

I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
it should be:
zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,
but is now:
zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.
spanned pages: total size, including holes.
absent pages: holes.
bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
memmap pages: pages used by page structs.
This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be. For example,
numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other
bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's
present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also
minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from
ZONE_MOVABLE. When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause
zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long
type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused
zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large
integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a
large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).
[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
I think the bug described in
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2
is also caused by wrong zone present pages.
This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
buddy system on x86_64 and IA64 platforms.

Compaction caches if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated so
that the pageblocks can be skipped in the future to reduce scanning. This
information is not cleared by the page allocator based on activity due to
the impact it would have to the page allocator fast paths. Hence there is
a requirement that something clear the cache or pageblocks will be skipped
forever. Currently the cache is cleared if there were a number of recent
allocation failures and it has not been cleared within the last 5 seconds.
Time-based decisions like this are terrible as they have no relationship
to VM activity and is basically a big hammer.
Unfortunately, accurate heuristics would add cost to some hot paths so
this patch implements a rough heuristic. There are two cases where the
cache is cleared.
1. If a !kswapd process completes a compaction cycle (migrate and free
scanner meet), the zone is marked compact_blockskip_flush. When kswapd
goes to sleep, it will clear the cache. This is expected to be the
common case where the cache is cleared. It does not really matter if
kswapd happens to be asleep or going to sleep when the flag is set as
it will be woken on the next allocation request.
2. If there have been multiple failures recently and compaction just
finished being deferred then a process will clear the cache and start a
full scan. This situation happens if there are multiple high-order
allocation requests under heavy memory pressure.
The clearing of the PG_migrate_skip bits and other scans is inherently
racy but the race is harmless. For allocations that can fail such as THP,
they will simply fail. For requests that cannot fail, they will retry the
allocation. Tests indicated that scanning rates were roughly similar to
when the time-based heuristic was used and the allocation success rates
were similar.

When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could
potentially be excessive. The ideal was that a counter be maintained for
each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe
penalty due to a shared writable cache line. It has reached the point
where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on
long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large
number of THPs at the same time.
Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the
pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip. If a pageblock is scanned by
either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is
marked to be skipped in the future. When scanning, this bit is checked
before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set.
The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached
information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be
excessive. If the information is too stale then allocations will fail
that might have otherwise succeeded. In this patch
o CMA always ignores the information
o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will
be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache
was discarded
o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache.
The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a
better event. Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still
allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick
succession due to memory pressure. Waiting until memory pressure is
relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using
reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page. The time-based mechanism is
clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

This reverts commit 7db8889ab0 ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start

start near a pageblock with free pages"). These patches were a good
idea and tests confirmed that they massively reduced the amount of
scanning but the implementation is complex and tricky to understand. A
later patch will cache what pageblocks should be skipped and
reimplements the concept of compact_cached_free_pfn on top for both
migration and free scanners.

If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline
happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the
pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.
The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. If it is detected, now EBUSY gets
bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails.
But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move
the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected. It could
enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is
really rare.

The page allocator caches the pageblock information in page->private while
it is in the PCP freelists but this is overwritten with the order of the
page when freed to the buddy allocator. This patch stores the migratetype
of the page in the page->index field so that it is available at all times
when the page remain in free_list.
This patch adds a new call site in __free_pages_ok so it might be overhead
a bit but it's for high order allocation. So I believe damage isn't hurt.

Drop clean cache pages instead of migration during alloc_contig_range() to
minimise allocation latency by reducing the amount of migration that is
necessary. It's useful for CMA because latency of migration is more
important than evicting the background process's working set. In
addition, as pages are reclaimed then fewer free pages for migration
targets are required so it avoids memory reclaiming to get free pages,
which is a contributory factor to increased latency.
I measured elapsed time of __alloc_contig_migrate_range() which migrates
10M in 40M movable zone in QEMU machine.
Before - 146ms, After - 7ms
