2017-07-12mm, migration: do not trigger OOM killer when migrating memoryMichal Hocko
Page migration (for memory hotplug, soft_offline_page or mbind) needs to allocate a new memory. This can trigger an oom killer if the target memory is depleated. Although quite unlikely, still possible, especially for the memory hotplug (offlining of memoery). Up to now we didn't really have reasonable means to back off. __GFP_NORETRY can fail just too easily and __GFP_THISNODE sticks to a single node and that is not suitable for all callers. But now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL we should use it. It is preferable to fail the migration than disrupt the system by killing some processes.

2017-07-06mm, mempolicy: don't check cpuset seqlock where it doesn't matterVlastimil Babka
Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced with a cpuset update. This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back to the wrappers to detect the race at that level. Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent further wrong impression that it can actually help.

2017-07-06mm, mempolicy: simplify rebinding mempolicies when updating cpusetsVlastimil Babka
Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") has introduced a two-step protocol when rebinding task's mempolicy due to cpuset update, in order to avoid a parallel allocation seeing an empty effective nodemask and failing. Later, commit cc9a6c877661 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3") introduced a seqlock protection and removed the synchronization point between the two update steps. At that point (or perhaps later), the two-step rebinding became unnecessary. Currently it only makes sure that the update first adds new nodes in step 1 and then removes nodes in step 2. Without memory barriers the effects are questionable, and even then this cannot prevent a parallel zonelist iteration checking the nodemask at each step to observe all nodes as unusable for allocation. We now fully rely on the seqlock to prevent premature OOMs and allocation failures. We can thus remove the two-step update parts and simplify the code.

2017-07-06mm, page_alloc: pass preferred nid instead of zonelist to allocatorVlastimil Babka
The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist pointer as one of its parameters. All of its callers directly or indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred node id and gfp_mask. We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter). There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined node_zonelist(): bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952) This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets to zonelists.

2017-07-06mm, mempolicy: stop adjusting current->il_next in mpol_rebind_nodemask()Vlastimil Babka
The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy. mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems. Currently it also tries to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask. This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma mempolicy, not task one. The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't manifested as an actual issue. We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation instead of the next id. Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

2017-01-24mm/mempolicy.c: do not put mempolicy before using its nodemaskVlastimil Babka
Since commit be97a41b291e ("mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to alloc_pages_vma") alloc_pages_vma() can potentially free a mempolicy by mpol_cond_put() before accessing the embedded nodemask by __alloc_pages_nodemask(). The commit log says it's so "we can use a single exit path within the function" but that's clearly wrong. We can still do that when doing mpol_cond_put() after the allocation attempt. Make sure the mempolicy is not freed prematurely, otherwise __alloc_pages_nodemask() can end up using a bogus nodemask, which could lead e.g. to premature OOM.

2016-12-12mm/mempolicy.c: forbid static or relative flags for local NUMA modePiotr Kwapulinski
The MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags are irrelevant when setting them for MPOL_LOCAL NUMA memory policy via set_mempolicy or mbind. Return the "invalid argument" from set_mempolicy and mbind whenever any of these flags is passed along with MPOL_LOCAL. It is consistent with MPOL_PREFERRED passed with empty nodemask. It slightly shortens the execution time in paths where these flags are used e.g. when trying to rebind the NUMA nodes for changes in cgroups cpuset mems (mpol_rebind_preferred()) or when just printing the mempolicy structure (/proc/PID/numa_maps).

2016-12-12mm, mempolicy: clean up __GFP_THISNODE confusion in policy_zonelistMichal Hocko
__GFP_THISNODE is documented to enforce the allocation to be satisified from the requested node with no fallbacks or placement policy enforcements. policy_zonelist seemingly breaks this semantic if the current policy is MPOL_MBIND and instead of taking the node it will fallback to the first node in the mask if the requested one is not in the mask. This is confusing to say the least because it fact we shouldn't ever go that path. First tasks shouldn't be scheduled on CPUs with nodes outside of their mempolicy binding. And secondly policy_zonelist is called only from 3 places: - huge_zonelist - never should do __GFP_THISNODE when going this path - alloc_pages_vma - which shouldn't depend on __GFP_THISNODE either - alloc_pages_current - which uses default_policy id __GFP_THISNODE is used So we shouldn't even need to care about this possibility and can drop the confusing code. Let's keep a WARN_ON_ONCE in place to catch potential users and fix them up properly (aka use a different allocation function which ignores mempolicy).

2016-07-28mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to nodeMel Gorman
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP. This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) behaviour.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys). There's a background article at LWN.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/ The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of) protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected virtual memory range. This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that below). This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys - if a user-space application calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC); (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this special case, and will set a special protection key on this memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true' PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either. We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion. There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this pull request. Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.

2016-03-09mm, thp: fix migration of PTE-mapped transparent huge pagesKirill A. Shutemov
We don't have native support of THP migration, so we have to split huge page into small pages in order to migrate it to different node. This includes PTE-mapped huge pages. I made mistake in refcounting patchset: we don't actually split PTE-mapped huge page in queue_pages_pte_range(), if we step on head page. The result is that the head page is queued for migration, but none of tail pages: putting head page on queue takes pin on the page and any subsequent attempts of split_huge_pages() would fail and we skip queuing tail pages. unmap_and_move_huge_page() will eventually split the huge pages, but only one of 512 pages would get migrated.

2016-02-05mempolicy: do not try to queue pages from !vma_migratable()Kirill A. Shutemov
Maybe I miss some point, but I don't see a reason why we try to queue pages from non migratable VMAs. This testcase steps on VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in isolate_lru_page(): #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <numaif.h> #define SIZE 0x2000 int foo; int main() { int fd; char *p; unsigned long mask = 2; fd = open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR); p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); /* Faultin pages */ foo = p[0] + p[0x1000]; mbind(p, SIZE, MPOL_BIND, &mask, 4, MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_STRICT); return 0; } The only case when we can queue pages from such VMA is MPOL_MF_STRICT plus MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL for VMA which has pages on LRU, but gfp mask is not sutable for migaration (see mapping_gfp_mask() check in vma_migratable()). That's looks like a bug to me. Let's filter out non-migratable vma at start of queue_pages_test_walk() and go to queue_pages_pte_range() only if MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL flag is set.

2016-01-14mm/mempolicy.c: convert the shared_policy lock to a rwlockNathan Zimmer
When running the SPECint_rate gcc on some very large boxes it was noticed that the system was spending lots of time in mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The gamess benchmark can also show it and is what I mostly used to chase down the issue since the setup for that I found to be easier. To be clear the binaries were on tmpfs because of disk I/O requirements. We then used text replication to avoid icache misses and having all the copies banging on the memory where the instruction code resides. This results in us hitting a bottleneck in mpol_shared_policy_lookup() since lookup is serialised by the shared_policy lock. I have only reproduced this on very large (3k+ cores) boxes. The problem starts showing up at just a few hundred ranks getting worse until it threatens to livelock once it gets large enough. For example on the gamess benchmark at 128 ranks this area consumes only ~1% of time, at 512 ranks it consumes nearly 13%, and at 2k ranks it is over 90%. To alleviate the contention in this area I converted the spinlock to an rwlock. This allows a large number of lookups to happen simultaneously. The results were quite good reducing this consumtion at max ranks to around 2%.

2015-09-08mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node()Vlastimil Babka
alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags. The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node"). Another issue with the name is that there's a family of alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead of page order), which leads to more confusion. To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage. Both functions get described in comments. It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small anyway. Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously exposed. Both differences will be rectified by the next patch. To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose more existing buggy callers.

2015-06-24mm, thp: respect MPOL_PREFERRED policy with non-local nodeVlastimil Babka
Since commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way - for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the node. This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node. The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g. MPOL_BIND policies where the local node is not among the allowed nodes. However, the current implementation can still give surprising results for the MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the current CPU's local node. In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local node, which is what this patch does. If hugepage allocation on the preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage allocations. The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to simplify the hugepage specific test. The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was occupied to show the difference. > numactl --hardware available: 2 nodes (0-1) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 node 0 size: 7878 MB node 0 free: 3623 MB node 1 cpus: 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 node 1 size: 8045 MB node 1 free: 7818 MB node distances: node 0 1 0: 10 21 1: 21 10 Before the patch: > numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress transhuge-stress: 2.197 s/loop, 0.276 ms/page, 7249.168 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 1786 different pages > numactl -p0 -C12 ./transhuge-stress transhuge-stress: 2.962 s/loop, 0.372 ms/page, 5376.172 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3873 different pages Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and cpu binding "wins".

NUMA balancing is meant to be disabled by default on UMA machines but the check is using nr_node_ids (highest node) instead of num_online_nodes (online nodes). The consequences are that a UMA machine with a node ID of 1 or higher will enable NUMA balancing. This will incur useless overhead due to minor faults with the impact depending on the workload. These are the impact on the stats when running a kernel build on a single node machine whose node ID happened to be 1: vanilla patched NUMA base PTE updates 5113158 0 NUMA huge PMD updates 643 0 NUMA page range updates 5442374 0 NUMA hint faults 2109622 0 NUMA hint local faults 2109622 0 NUMA hint local percent 100 100 NUMA pages migrated 0 0 Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.8+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2015-04-14mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local nodeDavid Rientjes
Commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective interleave mempolicy. alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single node, however, but rather prefers it. This is because __GFP_THISNODE is not set which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed. Without it, only a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed. Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when the allocation fails. Commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node") suffers from a similar problem for khugepaged, which is also fixed.

2015-04-14mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to nodeDavid Rientjes
migrate_to_node() is intended to migrate a page from one source node to a target node. Today, migrate_to_node() could end up migrating to any node, not only the target node. This is because the page migration allocator, new_node_page() does not pass __GFP_THISNODE to alloc_pages_exact_node(). This causes the target node to be preferred but allows fallback to any other node in order of affinity. Prevent this by allocating with __GFP_THISNODE. If memory is not available, -ENOMEM will be returned as appropriate.

2015-02-11mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)Naoya Horiguchi
walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads to undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range). For example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace applications. This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows: - for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole() over vma(VM_PFNMAP), - for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk, just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because these are not interested in hole regions, - for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.

2015-02-11mempolicy: apply page table walker on queue_pages_range()Naoya Horiguchi
queue_pages_range() does page table walking in its own way now, but there is some code duplicate. This patch applies page table walker to reduce lines of code. queue_pages_range() has to do some precheck to determine whether we really walk over the vma or just skip it. Now we have test_walk() callback in mm_walk for this purpose, so we can do this replacement cleanly. queue_pages_test_walk() depends on not only the current vma but also the previous one, so queue_pages->prev is introduced to remember it.

2015-02-11mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to alloc_pages_vmaVlastimil Babka
The previous commit ("mm/thp: Allocate transparent hugepages on local node") introduced alloc_hugepage_vma() to mm/mempolicy.c to perform a special policy for THP allocations. The function has the same interface as alloc_pages_vma(), shares a lot of boilerplate code and a long comment. This patch merges the hugepage special case into alloc_pages_vma. The extra if condition should be cheap enough price to pay. We also prevent a (however unlikely) race with parallel mems_allowed update, which could make hugepage allocation restart only within the fallback call to alloc_hugepage_vma() and not reconsider the special rule in alloc_hugepage_vma(). Also by making sure mpol_cond_put(pol) is always called before actual allocation attempt, we can use a single exit path within the function. Also update the comment for missing node parameter and obsolete reference to mm_sem.

2015-02-11mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local nodeAneesh Kumar K.V
This make sure that we try to allocate hugepages from local node if allowed by mempolicy. If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation based on mempolicy. This is based on the observation that allocating pages on local node is more beneficial than allocating hugepages on remote node. With this patch applied we may find transparent huge page allocation failures if the current node doesn't have enough freee hugepages. Before this patch such failures result in us retrying the allocation on other nodes in the numa node mask.
