2017-11-17mm: add infrastructure for get_user_pages_fast() benchmarkingKirill A. Shutemov
Performance of get_user_pages_fast() is critical for some workloads, but it's tricky to test it directly. This patch provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_benchmark that helps with testing performance of it. See tools/testing/selftests/vm/gup_benchmark.c for userspace counterpart.

2017-11-17mm, compaction: remove unneeded pageblock_skip_persistent() checksVlastimil Babka
Commit f3c931633a59 ("mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs pageblocks") has introduced pageblock_skip_persistent() checks into migration and free scanners, to make sure pageblocks that should be persistently skipped are marked as such, regardless of the ignore_skip_hint flag. Since the previous patch introduced a new no_set_skip_hint flag, the ignore flag no longer prevents marking pageblocks as skipped. Therefore we can remove the special cases. The relevant pageblocks will be marked as skipped by the common logic which marks each pageblock where no page could be isolated. This makes the code simpler.

2017-11-17mm, compaction: split off flag for not updating skip hintsVlastimil Babka
Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which shares core code with CMA. Since CMA reliability would suffer from the heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA use case. Since 6815bf3f233e ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update* the skip hints in addition to ignoring them. Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation fails in such case. Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets. This should improve the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit handling as the next step.

2017-11-17mm, compaction: extend pageblock_skip_persistent() to all compound pagesVlastimil Babka
pageblock_skip_persistent() checks for HugeTLB pages of pageblock order. When clearing pageblock skip bits for compaction, the bits are not cleared for such pageblocks, because they cannot contain base pages suitable for migration, nor free pages to use as migration targets. This optimization can be simply extended to all compound pages of order equal or larger than pageblock order, because migrating such pages (if they support it) cannot help sub-pageblock fragmentation. This includes THP's and also gigantic HugeTLB pages, which the current implementation doesn't persistently skip due to a strict pageblock_order equality check and not recognizing tail pages. While THP pages are generally less "persistent" than HugeTLB, we can still expect that if a THP exists at the point of __reset_isolation_suitable(), it will exist also during the subsequent compaction run. The time difference here could be actually smaller than between a compaction run that sets a (non-persistent) skip bit on a THP, and the next compaction run that observes it.

2017-11-17mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs pageblocksDavid Rientjes
It is pointless to migrate hugetlb memory as part of memory compaction if the hugetlb size is equal to the pageblock order. No defragmentation is occurring in this condition. It is also pointless to for the freeing scanner to scan a pageblock where a hugetlb page is pinned. Unconditionally skip these pageblocks, and do so peristently so that they are not rescanned until it is observed that these hugepages are no longer pinned. It would also be possible to do this by involving the hugetlb subsystem in marking pageblocks to no longer be skipped when they hugetlb pages are freed. This is a simple solution that doesn't involve any additional subsystems in pageblock skip manipulation.

2017-11-17mm, compaction: kcompactd should not ignore pageblock skipDavid Rientjes
Kcompactd is needlessly ignoring pageblock skip information. It is doing MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction, which is no more powerful than MIGRATE_SYNC compaction. If compaction recently failed to isolate memory from a set of pageblocks, there is nothing to indicate that kcompactd will be able to do so, or that it is beneficial from attempting to isolate memory. Use the pageblock skip hint to avoid rescanning pageblocks needlessly until that information is reset.

2017-11-17mm/z3fold.c: use kref to prevent page free/compact raceVitaly Wool
There is a race in the current z3fold implementation between do_compact() called in a work queue context and the page release procedure when page's kref goes to 0. do_compact() may be waiting for page lock, which is released by release_z3fold_page_locked right before putting the page onto the "stale" list, and then the page may be freed as do_compact() modifies its contents. The mechanism currently implemented to handle that (checking the PAGE_STALE flag) is not reliable enough. Instead, we'll use page's kref counter to guarantee that the page is not released if its compaction is scheduled. It then becomes compaction function's responsibility to decrease the counter and quit immediately if the page was actually freed.

An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged. - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable 'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file operation. - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull AFS updates from David Howells: "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul. The major points of the overhaul are: (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's in progress. (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it. (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for it where possible. (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS servers break that restriction. To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key removal, permit combinations are cached and shared. (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing the fscache token for the cell. (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate the lifetime of the volume fscache token. (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared between those cells). Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server rather than the address since a server can have multiple addresses. (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will also wait and retry if the server says it is busy. (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode. This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to actually write to the server if a key that made a modification becomes useless. (10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build entirely on AFS. Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)" * tag 'afs-next-20171113' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: (35 commits) afs: Protect call->state changes against signals afs: Trace page dirty/clean afs: Implement shared-writeable mmap afs: Get rid of the afs_writeback record afs: Introduce a file-private data record afs: Use a dynamic port if 7001 is in use afs: Fix directory read/modify race afs: Trace the sending of pages afs: Trace the initiation and completion of client calls afs: Fix documentation on # vs % prefix in mount source specification afs: Fix total-length calculation for multiple-page send afs: Only progress call state at end of Tx phase from rxrpc callback afs: Make use of the YFS service upgrade to fully support IPv6 afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation afs: Move server rotation code into its own file afs: Add an address list concept afs: Overhaul cell database management afs: Overhaul permit caching afs: Overhaul the callback handling afs: Rename struct afs_call server member to cm_server ...

2017-11-15mm: simplify nodemask printingMichal Hocko
alloc_warn() and dump_header() have to explicitly handle NULL nodemask which forces both paths to use pr_cont. We can do better. printk already handles NULL pointers properly so all we need is to teach nodemask_pr_args to handle NULL nodemask carefully. This allows simplification of both alloc_warn() and dump_header() and gets rid of pr_cont altogether.

2017-11-15mm/page_ext.c: check if page_ext is not preparedJaewon Kim
online_page_ext() and page_ext_init() allocate page_ext for each section, but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn) or !pfn_valid(pfn). Then section->page_ext remains as NULL. lookup_page_ext checks NULL only if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. For a valid PFN, __set_page_owner will try to get page_ext through lookup_page_ext. Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM lookup_page_ext will misuse NULL pointer as value 0. This incurrs invalid address access. This is the panic example when PFN 0x100000 is not valid but PFN 0x13FC00 is being used for page_ext. section->page_ext is NULL, get_entry returned invalid page_ext address as 0x1DFA000 for a PFN 0x13FC00.

2017-11-15mm: do not rely on preempt_count in print_vma_addrMichal Hocko
The preempt count check on print_vma_addr has been added by commit e8bff74afbdb ("x86: fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" in print_vma_addr()") and it relied on the elevated preempt count from preempt_conditional_sti because preempt_count check doesn't work on non preemptive kernels by default. The code has evolved though and commit d99e1bd175f4 ("x86/entry/traps: Refactor preemption and interrupt flag handling") has replaced preempt_conditional_sti by an explicit preempt_disable which is noop on !PREEMPT so the check in print_vma_addr is broken. Fix the issue by using trylock on mmap_sem rather than chacking the preempt count. The allocation we are relying on has to be GFP_NOWAIT as well. There is a chance that we won't dump the vma state if the lock is contended or the memory short but this is acceptable outcome and much less fragile than the not working preemption check or tricks around it.

2017-11-15mm, sparse: do not swamp log with huge vmemmap allocation failuresMichal Hocko

This is an excessive way to tell the user that there is nothing to really worry about because we do have a fallback mechanism to use base pages. The only downside might be a performance degradation due to TLB pressure. This patch changes vmemmap_alloc_block() to use __GFP_NOWARN and warn explicitly once on the first allocation failure. This will reduce the noise in the kernel log considerably, while we still have an indication that a performance might be impacted.

2017-11-15mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculationPavel Tatashin
In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not be deferred. We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also pages for reserved memory in this node. The reserved memory is determined in this function: memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical addresses, and returns size in bytes. However, reset_deferred_meminit() assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page count. The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

2017-11-15mm: don't warn about allocations which stall for too longTetsuo Handa
Commit 63f53dea0c98 ("mm: warn about allocations which stall for too long") was a great step for reducing possibility of silent hang up problem caused by memory allocation stalls. But this commit reverts it, for it is possible to trigger OOM lockup and/or soft lockups when many threads concurrently called warn_alloc() (in order to warn about memory allocation stalls) due to current implementation of printk(), and it is difficult to obtain useful information due to limitation of synchronous warning approach. Current printk() implementation flushes all pending logs using the context of a thread which called console_unlock(). printk() should be able to flush all pending logs eventually unless somebody continues appending to printk() buffer. Since warn_alloc() started appending to printk() buffer while waiting for oom_kill_process() to make forward progress when oom_kill_process() is processing pending logs, it became possible for warn_alloc() to force oom_kill_process() loop inside printk(). As a result, warn_alloc() significantly increased possibility of preventing oom_kill_process() from making forward progress. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- Before warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } goto retry; After warn_alloc() was introduced: retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else if (waited_for_10seconds()) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- Although waited_for_10seconds() becomes true once per 10 seconds, unbounded number of threads can call waited_for_10seconds() at the same time. Also, since threads doing waited_for_10seconds() keep doing almost busy loop, the thread doing print_one_log() can use little CPU resource. Therefore, this situation can be simplified like ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- when printk() is called faster than print_one_log() can process a log. One of possible mitigation would be to introduce a new lock in order to make sure that no other series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) can append to printk() buffer when one series of printk() (either oom_kill_process() or warn_alloc()) is already in progress. Such serialization will also help obtaining kernel messages in readable form. ---------- Pseudo code start ---------- retry: if (mutex_trylock(&oom_lock)) { mutex_lock(&oom_printk_lock); while (atomic_read(&printk_pending_logs) > 0) { atomic_dec(&printk_pending_logs); print_one_log(); } // Send SIGKILL here. mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); mutex_unlock(&oom_lock) } else { if (mutex_trylock(&oom_printk_lock)) { atomic_inc(&printk_pending_logs); mutex_unlock(&oom_printk_lock); } } goto retry; ---------- Pseudo code end ---------- But this commit does not go that direction, for we don't want to introduce a new lock dependency, and we unlikely be able to obtain useful information even if we serialized oom_kill_process() and warn_alloc(). Synchronous approach is prone to unexpected results (e.g. too late [1], too frequent [2], overlooked [3]). As far as I know, warn_alloc() never helped with providing information other than "something is going wrong". I want to consider asynchronous approach which can obtain information during stalls with possibly relevant threads (e.g. the owner of oom_lock and kswapd-like threads) and serve as a trigger for actions (e.g. turn on/off tracepoints, ask libvirt daemon to take a memory dump of stalling KVM guest for diagnostic purpose). This commit temporarily loses ability to report e.g. OOM lockup due to unable to invoke the OOM killer due to !__GFP_FS allocation request. But asynchronous approach will be able to detect such situation and emit warning. Thus, let's remove warn_alloc().

2017-11-15mm, page_alloc: fix potential false positive in __zone_watermark_okVlastimil Babka
Since commit 97a16fc82a7c ("mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for order-0 allocations"), __zone_watermark_ok() check for high-order allocations will shortcut per-migratetype free list checks for ALLOC_HARDER allocations, and return true as long as there's free page of any migratetype. The intention is that ALLOC_HARDER can allocate from MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC free lists, while normal allocations can't. However, as a side effect, the watermark check will then also return true when there are pages only on the MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, or (prior to CMA conversion to ZONE_MOVABLE) on the MIGRATE_CMA list. Since the allocation cannot actually obtain isolated pages, and might not be able to obtain CMA pages, this can result in a false positive. The condition should be rare and perhaps the outcome is not a fatal one. Still, it's better if the watermark check is correct. There also shouldn't be a performance tradeoff here.

2017-11-15mm: mlock: remove lru_add_drain_all()Shakeel Butt
lru_add_drain_all() is not required by mlock() and it will drain everything that has been cached at the time mlock is called. And that is not really related to the memory which will be faulted in (and cached) and mlocked by the syscall itself. If anything lru_add_drain_all() should be called _after_ pages have been mlocked and faulted in but even that is not strictly needed because those pages would get to the appropriate LRUs lazily during the reclaim path. Moreover follow_page_pte (gup) will drain the local pcp LRU cache. On larger machines the overhead of lru_add_drain_all() in mlock() can be significant when mlocking data already in memory. We have observed high latency in mlock() due to lru_add_drain_all() when the users were mlocking in memory tmpfs files.

This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about *4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 threads, 126G memory). Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to 10000000): https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench ========================================================================= When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all tooling to work, you can do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat This is system default setting.

Unify the access check logic of migrate_pages to match the new behavior of move_pages. We discussed this a bit in the security@ list and thought it'd be good for consistency even though there's no evident security impact.

2017-11-15mm, page_alloc: simplify list handling in rmqueue_bulk()Vlastimil Babka
rmqueue_bulk() fills an empty pcplist with pages from the free list. It tries to preserve increasing order by pfn to the caller, because it leads to better performance with some I/O controllers, as explained in commit e084b2d95e48 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when __GFP_COLD is set"). To preserve the order, it's sufficient to add pages to the tail of the list as they are retrieved. The current code instead adds to the head of the list, but then updates the list head pointer to the last added page, in each step. This does result in the same order, but is needlessly confusing and potentially wasteful, with no apparent benefit. This patch simplifies the code and adjusts comment accordingly.

2017-11-15mm: remove __GFP_COLDMel Gorman
As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

2017-11-15mm: remove cold parameter from free_hot_cold_page*Mel Gorman
Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page should be more obvious. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

2017-11-15mm: only drain per-cpu pagevecs once per pagevec usageMel Gorman
When a pagevec is initialised on the stack, it is generally used multiple times over a range of pages, looking up entries and then releasing them. On each pagevec_release, the per-cpu deferred LRU pagevecs are drained on the grounds the page being released may be on those queues and the pages may be cache hot. In many cases only the first drain is necessary as it's unlikely that the range of pages being walked is racing against LRU addition. Even if there is such a race, the impact is marginal where as constantly redraining the lru pagevecs costs. This patch ensures that pagevec is only drained once in a given lifecycle without increasing the cache footprint of the pagevec structure. Only sparsetruncate tiny is shown here as large files have many exceptional entries and calls pagecache_release less frequently. sparsetruncate (tiny) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 batchshadow-v1r1 onedrain-v1r1 Min Time 141.00 ( 0.00%) 141.00 ( 0.00%) 1st-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 2nd-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 3rd-qrtle Time 143.00 ( 0.00%) 143.00 ( 0.00%) Max-90% Time 144.00 ( 0.00%) 144.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 146.00 ( 0.00%) 145.00 ( 0.68%) Max-99% Time 198.00 ( 0.00%) 194.00 ( 2.02%) Max Time 254.00 ( 0.00%) 208.00 ( 18.11%) Amean Time 145.12 ( 0.00%) 144.30 ( 0.56%) Stddev Time 12.74 ( 0.00%) 9.62 ( 24.49%) Coeff Time 8.78 ( 0.00%) 6.67 ( 24.06%) Best99%Amean Time 144.29 ( 0.00%) 143.82 ( 0.32%) Best95%Amean Time 142.68 ( 0.00%) 142.31 ( 0.26%) Best90%Amean Time 142.52 ( 0.00%) 142.19 ( 0.24%) Best75%Amean Time 142.26 ( 0.00%) 141.98 ( 0.20%) Best50%Amean Time 141.90 ( 0.00%) 141.71 ( 0.13%) Best25%Amean Time 141.80 ( 0.00%) 141.43 ( 0.26%) The impact on bonnie is marginal and within the noise because a significant percentage of the file being truncated has been reclaimed and consists of shadow entries which reduce the hotness of the pagevec_release path.

2017-11-15mm, truncate: remove all exceptional entries from pagevec under one lockMel Gorman
During truncate each entry in a pagevec is checked to see if it is an exceptional entry and if so, the shadow entry is cleaned up. This is potentially expensive as multiple entries for a mapping locks/unlocks the tree lock. This batches the operation such that any exceptional entries removed from a pagevec only acquire the mapping tree lock once. The corner case where this is more expensive is where there is only one exceptional entry but this is unlikely due to temporal locality and how it affects LRU ordering. Note that for truncations of small files created recently, this patch should show no gain because it only batches the handling of exceptional entries. sparsetruncate (large) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 pickhelper-v1r1 batchshadow-v1r1 Min Time 38.00 ( 0.00%) 27.00 ( 28.95%) 1st-qrtle Time 40.00 ( 0.00%) 28.00 ( 30.00%) 2nd-qrtle Time 44.00 ( 0.00%) 41.00 ( 6.82%) 3rd-qrtle Time 146.00 ( 0.00%) 147.00 ( -0.68%) Max-90% Time 153.00 ( 0.00%) 153.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 155.00 ( 0.00%) 156.00 ( -0.65%) Max-99% Time 181.00 ( 0.00%) 171.00 ( 5.52%) Amean Time 93.04 ( 0.00%) 88.43 ( 4.96%) Best99%Amean Time 92.08 ( 0.00%) 86.13 ( 6.46%) Best95%Amean Time 89.19 ( 0.00%) 83.13 ( 6.80%) Best90%Amean Time 85.60 ( 0.00%) 79.15 ( 7.53%) Best75%Amean Time 72.95 ( 0.00%) 65.09 ( 10.78%) Best50%Amean Time 39.86 ( 0.00%) 28.20 ( 29.25%) Best25%Amean Time 39.44 ( 0.00%) 27.70 ( 29.77%) bonnie 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 pickhelper-v1r1 batchshadow-v1r1 Hmean SeqCreate ops 71.92 ( 0.00%) 76.78 ( 6.76%) Hmean SeqCreate read 42.42 ( 0.00%) 45.01 ( 6.10%) Hmean SeqCreate del 26519.88 ( 0.00%) 27191.87 ( 2.53%) Hmean RandCreate ops 71.92 ( 0.00%) 76.95 ( 7.00%) Hmean RandCreate read 44.44 ( 0.00%) 49.23 ( 10.78%) Hmean RandCreate del 24948.62 ( 0.00%) 24764.97 ( -0.74%) Truncation of a large number of files shows a substantial gain with 99% of files being truncated 6.46% faster. bonnie shows a modest gain of 2.53% [jack@suse.cz: fix truncate_exceptional_pvec_entries()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171108164226.26788-1-jack@suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171018075952.10627-4-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-11-15mm, truncate: do not check mapping for every page being truncatedMel Gorman
During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required. This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated. In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if workingset_update_node() needs to be called. The one danger is that the API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises. However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is enough to give people the hint. sparsetruncate (tiny) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 oneirq-v1r1 pickhelper-v1r1 Min Time 141.00 ( 0.00%) 140.00 ( 0.71%) 1st-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 141.00 ( 0.70%) 2nd-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 3rd-qrtle Time 143.00 ( 0.00%) 143.00 ( 0.00%) Max-90% Time 144.00 ( 0.00%) 144.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 147.00 ( 0.00%) 145.00 ( 1.36%) Max-99% Time 195.00 ( 0.00%) 191.00 ( 2.05%) Max Time 230.00 ( 0.00%) 205.00 ( 10.87%) Amean Time 144.37 ( 0.00%) 143.82 ( 0.38%) Stddev Time 10.44 ( 0.00%) 9.00 ( 13.74%) Coeff Time 7.23 ( 0.00%) 6.26 ( 13.41%) Best99%Amean Time 143.72 ( 0.00%) 143.34 ( 0.26%) Best95%Amean Time 142.37 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.26%) Best90%Amean Time 142.19 ( 0.00%) 141.85 ( 0.24%) Best75%Amean Time 141.92 ( 0.00%) 141.58 ( 0.24%) Best50%Amean Time 141.69 ( 0.00%) 141.31 ( 0.27%) Best25%Amean Time 141.38 ( 0.00%) 140.97 ( 0.29%) As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected.

2017-11-15mm, page_alloc: enable/disable IRQs once when freeing a list of pagesMel Gorman
Patch series "Follow-up for speed up page cache truncation", v2. This series is a follow-on for Jan Kara's series "Speed up page cache truncation" series. We both ended up looking at the same problem but saw different problems based on the same data. This series builds upon his work. A variety of workloads were compared on four separate machines but each machine showed gains albeit at different levels. Minimally, some of the differences are due to NUMA where truncating data from a remote node is slower than a local node. The workloads checked were o sparse truncate microbenchmark, tiny o sparse truncate microbenchmark, large o reaim-io disk workfile o dbench4 (modified by mmtests to produce more stable results) o filebench varmail configuration for small memory size o bonnie, directory operations, working set size 2*RAM reaim-io, dbench and filebench all showed minor gains. Truncation does not dominate those workloads but were tested to ensure no other regressions. They will not be reported further. The sparse truncate microbench was written by Jan. It creates a number of files and then times how long it takes to truncate each one. The "tiny" configuraiton creates a number of files that easily fits in memory and times how long it takes to truncate files with page cache. The large configuration uses enough files to have data that is twice the size of memory and so timings there include truncating page cache and working set shadow entries in the radix tree. Patches 1-4 are the most relevant parts of this series. Patches 5-8 are optional as they are deleting code that is essentially useless but has a negligible performance impact. The changelogs have more information on performance but just for bonnie delete options, the main comparison is bonnie 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 4.14.0-rc5 jan-v2 vanilla mel-v2 Hmean SeqCreate ops 76.20 ( 0.00%) 75.80 ( -0.53%) 76.80 ( 0.79%) Hmean SeqCreate read 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 ( 0.00%) Hmean SeqCreate del 13752.31 ( 0.00%) 12090.23 ( -12.09%) 15304.84 ( 11.29%) Hmean RandCreate ops 76.00 ( 0.00%) 75.60 ( -0.53%) 77.00 ( 1.32%) Hmean RandCreate read 96.80 ( 0.00%) 96.80 ( 0.00%) 97.00 ( 0.21%) Hmean RandCreate del 13233.75 ( 0.00%) 11525.35 ( -12.91%) 14446.61 ( 9.16%) Jan's series is the baseline and the vanilla kernel is 12% slower where as this series on top gains another 11%.

2017-11-15mm: batch radix tree operations when truncating pagesJan Kara
Currently we remove pages from the radix tree one by one. To speed up page cache truncation, lock several pages at once and free them in one go. This allows us to batch radix tree operations in a more efficient way and also save round-trips on mapping->tree_lock. As a result we gain about 20% speed improvement in page cache truncation. Data from a simple benchmark timing 10000 truncates of 1024 pages (on ext4 on ramdisk but the filesystem is barely visible in the profiles).

2017-11-15mm: speed up cancel_dirty_page() for clean pagesJan Kara
Patch series "Speed up page cache truncation", v1. When rebasing our enterprise distro to a newer kernel (from 4.4 to 4.12) we have noticed a regression in bonnie++ benchmark when deleting files. Eventually we have tracked this down to a fact that page cache truncation got slower by about 10%. There were both gains and losses in the above interval of kernels but we have been able to identify that commit 83929372f629 ("filemap: prepare find and delete operations for huge pages") caused about 10% regression on its own. After some investigation it didn't seem easily possible to fix the regression while maintaining the THP in page cache functionality so we've decided to optimize the page cache truncation path instead to make up for the change. This series is a result of that effort. Patch 1 is an easy speedup of cancel_dirty_page(). Patches 2-6 refactor page cache truncation code so that it is easier to batch radix tree operations. Patch 7 implements batching of deletes from the radix tree which more than makes up for the original regression. This patch (of 7): cancel_dirty_page() does quite some work even for clean pages (fetching of mapping, locking of memcg, atomic bit op on page flags) so it accounts for ~2.5% of cost of truncation of a clean page. That is not much but still dumb for something we don't need at all. Check whether a page is actually dirty and avoid any work if not.

2017-11-15mm/page-writeback.c: convert timers to use timer_setup()Kees Cook
In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly.
