* mm: numa: do not dereference pmd outside of the lock during NUMA hinting faultMel Gorman2015-02-131-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Automatic NUMA balancing depends on being able to protect PTEs to trap a fault and gather reference locality information. Very broadly speaking it would mark PTEs as not present and use another bit to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults and other types of faults. It was universally loved by everybody and caused no problems whatsoever. That last sentence might be a lie. This series is very heavily based on patches from Linus and Aneesh to replace the existing PTE/PMD NUMA helper functions with normal change protections. I did alter and add parts of it but I consider them relatively minor contributions. At their suggestion, acked-bys are in there but I've no problem converting them to Signed-off-by if requested. AFAIK, this has received no testing on ppc64 and I'm depending on Aneesh for that. I tested trinity under kvm-tool and passed and ran a few other basic tests. At the time of writing, only the short-lived tests have completed but testing of V2 indicated that long-term testing had no surprises. In most cases I'm leaving out detail as it's not that interesting. specjbb single JVM: There was negligible performance difference in the benchmark itself for short runs. However, system activity is higher and interrupts are much higher over time -- possibly TLB flushes. Migrations are also higher. Overall, this is more overhead but considering the problems faced with the old approach I think we just have to suck it up and find another way of reducing the overhead. specjbb multi JVM: Negligible performance difference to the actual benchmark but like the single JVM case, the system overhead is noticeably higher. Again, interrupts are a major factor. autonumabench: This was all over the place and about all that can be reasonably concluded is that it's different but not necessarily better or worse. autonumabench 3.18.0-rc5 3.18.0-rc5 mmotm-20141119 protnone-v3r3 User NUMA01 32380.24 ( 0.00%) 21642.92 ( 33.16%) User NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 22481.02 ( 0.00%) 22283.22 ( 0.88%) User NUMA02 3137.00 ( 0.00%) 3116.54 ( 0.65%) User NUMA02_SMT 1614.03 ( 0.00%) 1543.53 ( 4.37%) System NUMA01 322.97 ( 0.00%) 1465.89 (-353.88%) System NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 91.87 ( 0.00%) 49.32 ( 46.32%) System NUMA02 37.83 ( 0.00%) 14.61 ( 61.38%) System NUMA02_SMT 7.36 ( 0.00%) 7.45 ( -1.22%) Elapsed NUMA01 716.63 ( 0.00%) 599.29 ( 16.37%) Elapsed NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 553.98 ( 0.00%) 539.94 ( 2.53%) Elapsed NUMA02 83.85 ( 0.00%) 83.04 ( 0.97%) Elapsed NUMA02_SMT 86.57 ( 0.00%) 79.15 ( 8.57%) CPU NUMA01 4563.00 ( 0.00%) 3855.00 ( 15.52%) CPU NUMA01_THEADLOCAL 4074.00 ( 0.00%) 4136.00 ( -1.52%) CPU NUMA02 3785.00 ( 0.00%) 3770.00 ( 0.40%) CPU NUMA02_SMT 1872.00 ( 0.00%) 1959.00 ( -4.65%) System CPU usage of NUMA01 is worse but it's an adverse workload on this machine so I'm reluctant to conclude that it's a problem that matters.

This correlates with high system CPU usage and could be simply down to bad luck but any modifications that affect that workload would be related to scan rates and migrations, not the protection mechanism. For all other workloads, migration activity was comparable. Overall, headline performance figures are comparable but the overhead is higher, mostly in interrupts. To some extent, higher overhead from this approach was anticipated but not to this degree. It's going to be necessary to reduce this again with a separate series in the future. It's still worth going ahead with this series though as it's likely to avoid constant headaches with Xen and is probably easier to maintain. This patch (of 10): A transhuge NUMA hinting fault may find the page is migrating and should wait until migration completes. The check is race-prone because the pmd is deferenced outside of the page lock and while the race is tiny, it'll be larger if the PMD is cleared while marking PMDs for hinting fault. This patch closes the race.

* mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()Naoya Horiguchi2015-02-121-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock. This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page. This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any architectures or configurations. This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to properly handle the returned tail pages. We could have a choice to add the similar locking to follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it for future development.

* | mm: unmapped page migration avoid unmap+remap overheadHugh Dickins2014-12-131-10/+18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page migration's __unmap_and_move(), and rmap's try_to_unmap(), were created for use on pages almost certainly mapped into userspace. But nowadays compaction often applies them to unmapped page cache pages: which may exacerbate contention on i_mmap_rwsem quite unnecessarily, since try_to_unmap_file() makes no preliminary page_mapped() check. Now check page_mapped() in __unmap_and_move(); and avoid repeating the same overhead in rmap_walk_file() - don't remove_migration_ptes() when we never inserted any. (The PageAnon(page) comment blocks now look even sillier than before, but clean that up on some other occasion. And note in passing that try_to_unmap_one() does not use a migration entry when PageSwapCache, so remove_migration_ptes() will then not update that swap entry to newpage pte: not a big deal, but something else to clean up later.) Davidlohr remarked in "mm,fs: introduce helpers around the i_mmap_mutex" conversion to i_mmap_rwsem, that "The biggest winner of these changes is migration": a part of the reason might be all of that unnecessary taking of i_mmap_mutex in page migration; and it's rather a shame that I didn't get around to sending this patch in before his - this one is much less useful after Davidlohr's conversion to rwsem, but still good.

* mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages managementKonstantin Khlebnikov2014-10-101-12/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags inside struct anon_vma. Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation: * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works: balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with balloon an all ability for further migration. * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically, this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages. * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate: balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they use trylock_page() for locking. This patch fixes all of them. Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier. PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to the balloon device.

* mm: migrate: Close race between migration completion and mprotectMel Gorman2014-10-021-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration completes.

* mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge APIJohannes Weiner2014-08-091-29/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively complicated and fragile. Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary: - Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging. - Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged. - On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused, so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case. Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache(). But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore. For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred to the new page during migration. mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well, which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(). However, care needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a page under migration. Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward. Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry before the final put_page() in page reclaim. Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock, whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock. Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references. Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

Dave was hallucinating, but it would have been disrespectful to say so. However, my own /var/log/messages now shows similar complaints WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28814 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1881 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b() WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27347 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1764 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b() from stressing some mmotm trees during July. Could a dirty xfs or ext4 file page somehow get marked PageSwapBacked, so fail shrink_page_list()'s page_is_file_cache() test, and so proceed to mapping->a_ops->writepage()? Yes, 3.16-rc1's commit 68711a746345 ("mm, migration: add destination page freeing callback") has provided such a way to compaction: if migrating a SwapBacked page fails, its newpage may be put back on the list for later use with PageSwapBacked still set, and nothing will clear it. Whether that can do anything worse than issue WARN_ON_ONCEs, and get some statistics wrong, is unclear: easier to fix than to think through the consequences. Fixing it here, before the put_new_page(), addresses the bug directly, but is probably the worst place to fix it. Page migration is doing too many parts of the job on too many levels: fixing it in move_to_new_page() to complement its SetPageSwapBacked would be preferable, except why is it (and newpage->mapping and newpage->index) done there, rather than down in migrate_page_move_mapping(), once we are sure of success? Not a cleanup to get into right now, especially not with memcg cleanups coming in 3.17.

But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge. Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration ptes, seen in the dumped trace. Although that rmap walk has a 4k page to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from 4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent. I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions. And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.

* mm, migration: add destination page freeing callbackDavid Rientjes2014-06-051-16/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mm: numa: add migrated transhuge pages to LRU the same way as base pagesMel Gorman2014-06-051-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Migration of misplaced transhuge pages uses page_add_new_anon_rmap() when putting the page back as it avoided an atomic operations and added the new page to the correct LRU. A side-effect is that the page gets marked activated as part of the migration meaning that transhuge and base pages are treated differently from an aging perspective than base page migration. This patch uses page_add_anon_rmap() and putback_lru_page() on completion of a transhuge migration similar to base page migration. It would require fewer atomic operations to use lru_cache_add without taking an additional reference to the page. The downside would be that it's still different to base page migration and unevictable pages may be added to the wrong LRU for cleaning up later. Testing of the usual workloads did not show any adverse impact to the change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity: indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the migration entries that was temporarily inserted. The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree (good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages() range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range). remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race. The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this; but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

* mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarifyJohannes Weiner2014-03-111-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

This allows races with get_user_pages and get_user_pages_fast which commit 3f926ab945b6 ("mm: Close races between THP migration and PMD numa clearing") made worse by introducing a pmd_clear_flush(). This patch forces get_user_page (fast and normal) on a pmd_numa page to go through the slow get_user_page path where it will serialise against THP migration and properly account for the NUMA hinting fault.

This works 99% of the time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs page order, it works. But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line (say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate: void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src) { struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src); if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) { ... Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.

* | sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faultsMel Gorman2013-10-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data. This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.

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.
