* mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} APIMichal Hocko2017-05-047-19/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently: - to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation context would be needed during the memory reclaim - to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the allocation is performed from a deep context already - to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly - just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV - silence lockdep false positives Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to the MM. Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the FS layer. In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used and so it might be used unnecessarily. We would like to get rid of those as much as possible. One way to do that is to use the flag in scopes rather than isolated cases. Such a scope is declared when really necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic. Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g. crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey the allocation context between the layers. Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of GFP_NOFS allocation context. This is basically copying memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation context GFP_NOIO. The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently. There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it. PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO. memalloc_noio_flags is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts. Xfs code paths preserve their semantic. kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag anymore. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes. Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp. ~__GFP_FS) usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

* xfs: abstract PF_FSTRANS to PF_MEMALLOC_NOFSMichal Hocko2017-05-046-13/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfs has defined PF_FSTRANS to declare a scope GFP_NOFS semantic quite some time ago. We would like to make this concept more generic and use it for other filesystems as well. Let's start by giving the flag a more generic name PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which is in line with an exiting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO already used for the same purpose for GFP_NOIO contexts. Replace all PF_FSTRANS usage from the xfs code in the first step before we introduce a full API for it as xfs uses the flag directly anyway. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

The problem here is lockdep has seen this allocation from within a transaction, hence a GFP_NOFS allocation, and now it's seeing it in a GFP_KERNEL context. Also note that we have an active reference to this inode. So, because the reclaim annotations overload the interrupt level detections and it's seen the inode ilock been taken in reclaim ("interrupt") context, this triggers a reclaim context warning where it thinks it is unsafe to do this allocation in GFP_KERNEL context holding the inode ilock..." This sounds like a fundamental problem of the reclaim lock detection. It is really impossible to annotate such a special usecase IMHO unless the reclaim lockup detection is reworked completely. Until then it is much better to provide a way to add "I know what I am doing flag" and mark problematic places. This would prevent from abusing GFP_NOFS flag which has a runtime effect even on configurations which have lockdep disabled. Introduce __GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag which tells the lockdep gfp tracking to skip the current allocation request. While we are at it also make sure that the radix tree doesn't accidentaly override tags stored in the upper part of the gfp_mask.

This patch (of 7): Commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O during memory allocation") added the memalloc_noio_(save|restore) functions to enable people to modify the MM behavior by disabling I/O during memory allocation. This was further extended in commit 934f3072c17c ("mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set"). memalloc_noio_* functions prevent allocation paths recursing back into the filesystem without explicitly changing the flags for every allocation site. However, lockdep hasn't been keeping up with the changes and it entirely misses handling the memalloc_noio adjustments. Instead, it is left to the callers of __lockdep_trace_alloc to call the function after they have shaven the respective GFP flags which can lead to false positives: ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 4.10.0-nbor #134 Not tainted --------------------------------- inconsistent {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} -> {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} usage. fsstress/3365 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (&xfs_nondir_ilock_class){++++?.}, at: xfs_ilock+0x141/0x230 {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} state was registered at: __lock_acquire+0x62a/0x17c0 lock_acquire+0xc5/0x220 down_write_nested+0x4f/0x90 xfs_ilock+0x141/0x230 xfs_reclaim_inode+0x12a/0x320 xfs_reclaim_inodes_ag+0x2c8/0x4e0 xfs_reclaim_inodes_nr+0x33/0x40 xfs_fs_free_cached_objects+0x19/0x20 super_cache_scan+0x191/0x1a0 shrink_slab+0x26f/0x5f0 shrink_node+0xf9/0x2f0 kswapd+0x356/0x920 kthread+0x10c/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x31/0x40 irq event stamp: 173777 hardirqs last enabled at (173777): __local_bh_enable_ip+0x70/0xc0 hardirqs last disabled at (173775): __local_bh_enable_ip+0x37/0xc0 softirqs last enabled at (173776): _xfs_buf_find+0x67a/0xb70 softirqs last disabled at (173774): _xfs_buf_find+0x5db/0xb70 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&xfs_nondir_ilock_class); <Interrupt> lock(&xfs_nondir_ilock_class); *** DEADLOCK *** 4 locks held by fsstress/3365: #0: (sb_writers#10){++++++}, at: mnt_want_write+0x24/0x50 #1: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12){++++++}, at: vfs_setxattr+0x6f/0xb0 #2: (sb_internal#2){++++++}, at: xfs_trans_alloc+0xfc/0x140 #3: (&xfs_nondir_ilock_class){++++?.}, at: xfs_ilock+0x141/0x230 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 3365 Comm: fsstress Not tainted 4.10.0-nbor #134 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Ubuntu-1.8.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 Call Trace: kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0x3a/0x2c0 vm_map_ram+0x2a1/0x510 _xfs_buf_map_pages+0x77/0x140 xfs_buf_get_map+0x185/0x2a0 xfs_attr_rmtval_set+0x233/0x430 xfs_attr_leaf_addname+0x2d2/0x500 xfs_attr_set+0x214/0x420 xfs_xattr_set+0x59/0xb0 __vfs_setxattr+0x76/0xa0 __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x5e/0xf0 vfs_setxattr+0xae/0xb0 setxattr+0x15e/0x1a0 path_setxattr+0x8f/0xc0 SyS_lsetxattr+0x11/0x20 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc6 Let's fix this by making lockdep explicitly do the shaving of respective GFP flags.

* mm, vmstat: print non-populated zones in zoneinfoDavid Rientjes2017-05-041-10/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initscripts can use the information (protection levels) from /proc/zoneinfo to configure vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio at boot. vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array of ratios for each configured zone on the system. If a zone is not populated on an arch, /proc/zoneinfo suppresses its output. This results in there not being a 1:1 mapping between the set of zones emitted by /proc/zoneinfo and the zones configured by vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio. This patch shows statistics for non-populated zones in /proc/zoneinfo. The zones exist and hold a spot in the vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio array. Without this patch, it is not possible to determine which index in the array controls which zone if one or more zones on the system are not populated. Remaining users of walk_zones_in_node() are unchanged. Files such as /proc/pagetypeinfo require certain zone data to be initialized properly for display, which is not done for unpopulated zones.

* mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache()Huang Ying2017-05-041-9/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing page information later. But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock (or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap entry. So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be changed in another thread. If the page swap count is not 0, we should not delete the page from the swap cache. This is fixed via checking page swap count again after acquiring the page lock. I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race via a test program. If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page. That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance regression.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages. If the pages are not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately. Otherwise we can't reclaim them. We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal swapout way. We use normal page reclaim policy.

* mm: move MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE listShaohua Li2017-05-046-28/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'. They are still anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout. To distinguish these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag. MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages. To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is suggested by Johannes. This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it. The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc. Several issues are found. Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature. - Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off, we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent our setup using MADV_FREE. - Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages, because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it. - Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting. MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily. To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes). The patchset use the second idea. The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. So we can still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference with other anon and active file pages. Putting the pages into inactive file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages. MADV_FREE pages are put into the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) && !PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages. These pages will directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap will reclaim them. For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages. The problem is we never get accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are mapped to userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side. To get accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay. Jemalloc guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops the accounting patches temporarily. The info exported to /proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we can get accurate accounting right now. This patch (of 6): Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary. It's true because we always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap. For cases we don't do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run. Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary. If no other flags set (for example, TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied. The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal code Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4be3ea1bc56b26fd98a54d0a6f70bec63f6d8980.1487965799.git.shli@fb.com Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Suggested-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Hillf Danton <hillf.zj@alibaba-inc.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If we have intermittent success reclaiming a few pages, the backoff function gets reset also, and so is of little help in these scenarios. We might want a backoff function for when there IS progress, but not enough to be satisfactory. But this isn't that. Remove it.

* mm: don't avoid high-priority reclaim on memcg limit reclaimJohannes Weiner2017-05-041-57/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 246e87a93934 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets") sought to avoid high reclaim priorities for memcg by forcing it to scan a minimum amount of pages when lru_pages >> priority yielded nothing. This was done at a time when reclaim decisions like dirty throttling were tied to the priority level. Nowadays, the only meaningful thing still tied to priority dropping below DEF_PRIORITY - 2 is gating whether laptop_mode=1 is generally allowed to write. But that is from an era where direct reclaim was still allowed to call ->writepage, and kswapd nowadays avoids writes until it's scanned every clean page in the system. Potential changes to how quick sc->may_writepage could trigger are of little concern. Remove the force_scan stuff, as well as the ugly multi-pass target calculation that it necessitated.

The latter patch effectively neutered the behavior completely for all but extreme memory pressure. But in those situations we might as well drop the reclaimers to lower priority levels.

* mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodesJohannes Weiner2017-05-045-23/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and cleanups". Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins at 100% CPU usage. We have seen similar cases at Facebook. The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages. In Jia's and our scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the condition for backing off is never met. Kswapd busyloops in an attempt to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with. This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs. This is the same criteria the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the OOM killer. If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer. Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method. Patch #6 is the odd one out. It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(), and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series. If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups. This patch (of 9): Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system: $ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages top - 13:42:59 up 3:37, 1 user, load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01 Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.0 us, 12.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 85.5 id, 2.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem: 31371520 total, 30915136 used, 456384 free, 320 buffers KiB Swap: 6284224 total, 115712 used, 6168512 free. 48192 cached Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 76 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3 At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep. Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance. Up until commit 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism. It considered zones whose theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as unreclaimable and backed away from them. This guard was erroneously removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node. However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the threshold is met. Kswapd would stay awake anyway. Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off. If kswapd runs through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single page, make it back off from the node. This is the same number of shots direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM. Kswapd will go to sleep on that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus proving the node reclaimable again.

* slab: avoid IPIs when creating kmem cachesGreg Thelen2017-05-041-1/+6

The array caches are created when the kmem_cache is created, either via kmem_cache_create() or lazily when the first object is allocated in context of a kmem enabled memcg. Array caches are replaced by writing to /proc/slabinfo. Array caches are protected by holding slab_mutex or disabling interrupts. Array cache allocation and replacement is done by __do_tune_cpucache() which holds slab_mutex and calls kick_all_cpus_sync() to interrupt all remote processors which confirms there are no references to the old array caches. IPIs are needed when replacing array caches. But when creating a new array cache, there's no need to send IPIs because there cannot be any references to the new cache. Outside of memcg kmem accounting these IPIs occur at boot time, so they're not a problem. But with memcg kmem accounting each container can create kmem caches, so the IPIs are wasteful. Avoid unnecessary IPIs when creating array caches.

Kernel has a default value of it but user can set O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD in /etc/sysconfig/o2cb to override it. Commit 45b997737a80 ("ocfs2/cluster: use per-attribute show and store methods") changed heartbeat dead threshold name while ocfs2-tools did not, so ocfs2-tools won't set this configurable and the default value is always used. So revert it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In many of clk_disable() implementations, it is a no-op for a NULL pointer input, but this is one of the exceptions. Making it treewide consistent will allow clock consumers to call clk_disable() without NULL pointer check.

We have a patches to move to 64-bit timestamps, convert refcounts from atomic_t to refcount_t, track PIDs using the pid struct instead of pid_t, convert our own private audit buffer cache to a standard kmem_cache, log kernel module names when they are unloaded, and normalize the NETFILTER_PKT to make the userspace folks happier. From a fixes perspective, the most important is likely the auditd connection tracking RCU fix; it was a rather brain dead bug that I'll take the blame for, but thankfully it didn't seem to affect many people (only one report). I think the patch subject lines and commit descriptions do a pretty good job of explaining the details and why the changes are important so I'll point you there instead of duplicating it here; as usual, if you have any questions you know where to find us. We also manage to take out more code than we put in this time, that always makes me happy :)" * 'stable-4.12' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: fix the RCU locking for the auditd_connection structure audit: use kmem_cache to manage the audit_buffer cache audit: Use timespec64 to represent audit timestamps audit: store the auditd PID as a pid struct instead of pid_t audit: kernel generated netlink traffic should have a portid of 0 audit: combine audit_receive() and audit_receive_skb() audit: convert audit_watch.count from atomic_t to refcount_t audit: convert audit_tree.count from atomic_t to refcount_t audit: normalize NETFILTER_PKT netfilter: use consistent ipv4 network offset in xt_AUDIT audit: log module name on delete_module audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_watch_handle_event() audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_mark_handle_event() audit: remove unnecessary semicolon in audit_field_valid()

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cong Wang correctly pointed out that the RCU read locking of the auditd_connection struct was wrong, this patch correct this by adopting a more traditional, and correct RCU locking model.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The audit subsystem implemented its own buffer cache mechanism which is a bit silly these days when we could use the kmem_cache construct. Some credit is due to Florian Westphal for originally proposing that we remove the audit cache implementation in favor of simple kmalloc()/kfree() calls, but I would rather have a dedicated slab cache to ease debugging and future stats/performance work.
