To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs. Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)). I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes with
the right macro in the memory management (/mm) subsystem.

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.
We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.
The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
the cache.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 |
| patched | 73.45% | 13.58 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
approach as we're dealing with good locality.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 |
| patched | 88.09% | 9.31 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 |
| patched | 91.15% | 12.57 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads:
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 |
| patched | 99.97% | 14.18 |

filemap_map_pages() is generic implementation of ->map_pages() for
filesystems who uses page cache.
It should be safe to use filemap_map_pages() for ->map_pages() if
filesystem use filemap_fault() for ->fault().

As Trond pointed out, you can currently deadlock yourself by setting a
file-private lock on a file that requires mandatory locking and then
trying to do I/O on it.
Avoid this problem by plumbing some knowledge of file-private locks into
the mandatory locking code. In order to do this, we must pass down
information about the struct file that's being used to
locks_verify_locked.

Some applications that run on HPC clusters are designed around the
availability of RAM and the overcommit ratio is fine tuned to get the
maximum usage of memory without swapping. With growing memory, the
1%-of-all-RAM grain provided by overcommit_ratio has become too coarse
for these workload (on a 2TB machine it represents no less than 20GB).
This patch adds the new overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable that allow a
much finer grain.

Add an admin_reserve_kbytes knob to allow admins to change the hardcoded
memory reserve to something other than 3%, which may be multiple
gigabytes on large memory systems. Only about 8MB is necessary to
enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are
required even when overcommit is disabled.
This affects OVERCOMMIT_GUESS and OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.
admin_reserve_kbytes is initialized to min(3% free pages, 8MB)
I arrived at 8MB by summing the RSS of sshd or login, bash, and top.
Please see first patch in this series for full background, motivation,
testing, and full changelog.

Add user_reserve_kbytes knob.
Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to
min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages). Only about 8MB is
necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred
MB are required even when overcommit is disabled.
user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB)
I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ...
then adding the RSS of each.
This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode.
Background
1. user reserve
__vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for
other applications when overcommit is disabled. This was done so that a
user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the
reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as:
bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
2. admin reserve
Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both
overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a
scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations.
Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve.
Motivation
The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current
memory sizes.
Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much.
When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered
"enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory
systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user
or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process.
I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a
specific type of application load:
* single application system
* one or few processes (e.g. one per core)
* allocating all available memory
* not initializing every page immediately
* long running
I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job
sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They
weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't
using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These
clusters run diskless and have no swap.
However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much
memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for
example, almost 2GB out of 32GB.
The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with
one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes
requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not
allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate.
For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And
it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks.
Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful
by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory.
Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior
since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something
useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory.
Risks
* "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory"
The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve
that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set
it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if
they already have a shell prompt.
Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3%
reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible.
* root-cant-log-in problem
The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows
the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They
can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in.
However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current
behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink
to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all
available memory.
Alternatives
* Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory.
Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead.
* We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves.
The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending
on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise.
* Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc.
Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc.
Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well.
The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low
overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where
3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't
shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune
for embedded and enterprise usage.
FAQ
* How is the root-cant-login problem addressed?
What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0?
Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting
admin_reserve_kbytes too low.
On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is:
8MB for overcommit 'guess'
128MB for overcommit 'never'
admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB)
So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust
admin_reserve_pages.
* How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve?
A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform
recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum:
sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.)
For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS)
because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery
programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB.
For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ)
and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode
forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations--
even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for.
On x86_64 this is about 128MB.
When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as
small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode.
When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should
tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each
was safest in my testing.
* What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0?
Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode.
Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus
admin_reserve_kbytes.
However, they will easily see a message such as:
"bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory"
And they won't be able to recover/kill their application.
The admin should be able to recover the system if
admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately.
* What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'?
"Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable
pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root.
"Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable
percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of
free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a
hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional
applications.
* Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually
writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available
swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words,
these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable?
Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It
does not take into account the memory that other applications have
malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system.
Test Summary
There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess'
mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected.
Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never'
mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated
to a user application.
Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to
crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed.
This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer.
Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode
and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the
admin can.
With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode
and without swap can be configured to:
1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of
recoverability
2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to
ensure that a user cannot take down a system
Test Description
Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap
System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services
turned off. Caches were dropped before each test.
Hogs are user memtester processes that attempt to allocate all free memory
as reported by /proc/meminfo
In overcommit 'never' mode, memory_ratio=100

Future Work
- Test larger memory systems.
- Test an embedded image.
- Test other architectures.
- Time malloc microbenchmarks.
- Would it be useful to be able to set overcommit policy for
each memory cgroup?
- Some lines are slightly above 80 chars.
Perhaps define a macro to convert between pages and kb?
Other places in the kernel do this.

Although our intention is to unexport internal structure entirely, but
there is one exception for kexec. kexec dumps address of vmlist and
makedumpfile uses this information.
We are about to remove vmlist, then another way to retrieve information
of vmalloc layer is needed for makedumpfile. For this purpose, we
export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist.

I think we could just move the full vm_iomap_memory() function into
util.h or similar, but I didn't get any reply from anybody actually
using nommu even to this trivial patch, so I'm not going to touch it any
more than required.
Here's the fairly minimal stub to make the nommu case at least
potentially work. It doesn't seem like anybody cares, though.

find_vma() can be called by multiple threads with read lock

Prevent compiler from re-fetching mm->mmap_cache, because other
readers could update it in the meantime:

find_vma() | find_vma()
struct vm_area_struct *vma = NULL; |

This change adds a follow_page_mask function which is equivalent to
follow_page, but with an extra page_mask argument.
follow_page_mask sets *page_mask to HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1 when it encounters
a THP page, and to 0 in other cases.
__get_user_pages() makes use of this in order to accelerate populating
THP ranges - that is, when both the pages and vmas arrays are NULL, we
don't need to iterate HPAGE_PMD_NR times to cover a single THP page (and
we also avoid taking mm->page_table_lock that many times).

swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

do_mmap_pgoff() rounds up the desired size to the next PAGE_SIZE
multiple, however there was no equivalent code in mm_populate(), which
caused issues.
This could be fixed by introduced the same rounding in mm_populate(),
however I think it's preferable to make do_mmap_pgoff() return populate
as a size rather than as a boolean, so we don't have to duplicate the
size rounding logic in mm_populate().

When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or
with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the
newly created vmas. This may take a while as we may have to read pages
from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked
mmap_sem region.
This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating
such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.
This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() /
mlockall().

It will be useful to be able to access global memory commitment from
device drivers. On the Hyper-V platform, the host has a policy engine to
balance the available physical memory amongst all competing virtual
machines hosted on a given node. This policy engine is driven by a number
of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests. The
balloon driver for Linux on Hyper-V will use this function to retrieve
guest memory commitment. This function is also used in Xen self
ballooning code.

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it
resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.
VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets
mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
mm->exe_file while task is running.
comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"),
where all this stuff was introduced:

exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.
Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to
remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().
mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall
task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
vma operation: ->remap_pages().
Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

Compiling 3.5-rc1 for nommu targets gives:
CC mm/nommu.o
mm/nommu.c: In function ‘sys_mmap_pgoff’:
mm/nommu.c:1489:2: error: ‘ret’ undeclared (first use in this function)
mm/nommu.c:1489:2: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
It is trivially fixed by replacing 'ret' with the local variable that is
already defined for the return value 'retval'.

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.
This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

Like the vm_brk() function, this is the same as "do_munmap()", except it
does the VM locking for the caller.

It does the same thing as "do_brk()", except it handles the VM locking
too.
It turns out that all external callers want that anyway, so we can make
do_brk() static to just mm/mmap.c while at it.

When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the
GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and
pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm).
After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to
update additional MMs. This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be
removed from alloc_vm_area().

- shmem pages are not immediately available, but they are not
potentially available either, even if we swap them out, they will just
relocate from memory into swap, total amount of immediate and
potentially available memory is not going to be affected, so we
shouldn't count them as potentially free in the first place.
- nr_free_pages() is not an expensive operation anymore, there is no
need to split the decision making in two halves and repeat code.
