* memcg: revert gfp mask fixKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-081-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My patch, memcg-fix-gfp_mask-of-callers-of-charge.patch changed gfp_mask of callers of charge to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE for showing what will happen at memory reclaim. But in recent discussion, it's NACKed because it sounds ugly. This patch is for reverting it and add some clean up to gfp_mask of callers of charge. No behavior change but need review before generating HUNK in deep queue. This patch also adds explanation to meaning of gfp_mask passed to charge functions in memcontrol.h.

* memcg: mem+swap controller coreKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-081-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap. However there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is avoided. Mem+Swap controller works as following. - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes. - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes. This has following benefits. - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap. Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.) We can avoid this case. And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory) until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg. Assume group A and group B. After some application executes, the system can be.. Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap. Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full. Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required. Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?" - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of mem+swap. In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap. Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is per swap entry record. Charge is done as following. map - charge page and memsw. unmap - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache. swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache) - uncharge page - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup. swap-in (do_swap_page) - charged as page and memsw. record in swap_cgroup is cleared. memsw accounting is decremented. swap-free (swap_free()) - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE. There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an overhead. This overhead is avoided by config or boot option. (see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.) TODO: - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.) But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

* memcg: swap cgroup for remembering usageKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-081-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For accounting swap, we need a record per swap entry, at least. This patch adds following function. - swap_cgroup_swapon() .... called from swapon - swap_cgroup_swapoff() ... called at the end of swapoff. - swap_cgroup_record() .... record information of swap entry. - swap_cgroup_lookup() .... lookup information of swap entry. This patch just implements "how to record information". No actual method for limit the usage of swap. These routine uses flat table to record and lookup. "wise" lookup system like radix-tree requires requires memory allocation at new records but swap-out is usually called under memory shortage (or memcg hits limit.) So, I used static allocation. (maybe dynamic allocation is not very hard but it adds additional memory allocation in memory shortage path.) Note1: In this, we use pointer to record information and this means 8bytes per swap entry. I think we can reduce this when we create "id of cgroup" in the range of 0-65535 or 0-255.

* memcg: fix gfp_mask of callers of chargeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix misuse of gfp_kernel. Now, most of callers of mem_cgroup_charge_xxx functions uses GFP_KERNEL. I think that this is from the fact that page_cgroup *was* dynamically allocated. But now, we allocate all page_cgroup at boot. And mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages() reclaim memory from GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE + specified GFP_RECLAIM_MASK. * This is because we just want to reduce memory usage. "Where we should reclaim from ?" is not a problem in memcg. This patch modifies gfp masks to be GFP_HIGUSER_MOVABLE if possible.

* memcg: introduce charge-commit-cancel style of functionsKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a small race in do_swap_page(). When the page swapped-in is charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0. But, at the same time some process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is uncharged. CPUA CPUB mapcount == 1. (1) charge if mapcount==0 zap_pte_range() (2) mapcount 1 => 0. (3) uncharge(). (success) (4) set page's rmap() mapcount 0=>1 Then, this swap page's account is leaked. For fixing this, I added a new interface. - charge account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary. - commit register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary. - cancel uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure. CPUA (1) charge (always) (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0) (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte(). This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting. Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time. And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges. - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge() called against newly allocated anon pages. - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup() called only from remove_migration_ptes(). we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior) This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration clearer. Good for clarifying "what we do" Then, we have 4 following charge points. - newpage - swap-in - add-to-cache. - migration.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Complete zap_pte_range()'s coverage of bad pagetable entries by calling print_bad_pte() on a pte_file in a linear vma and on a bad swap entry. That needs free_swap_and_cache() to tell it, which will also have shown one of those "swap_free" errors (but with much less information). Similar checks in fork's copy_one_pte()? No, that would be more noisy than helpful: we'll see them when parent and child exec or exit. Where do_nonlinear_fault() calls print_bad_pte(): omit !VM_CAN_NONLINEAR case, that could only be a bug in sys_remap_file_pages(), not a bad pte. VM_FAULT_OOM rather than VM_FAULT_SIGBUS? Well, okay, that is consistent with what happens if do_swap_page() operates a bad swap entry; but don't we have patches to be more careful about killing when VM_FAULT_OOM?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Though attempting to find free clusters (Andrea), swap allocation has always restarted its searches from the beginning of the swap area (sct), to reduce seek times between swap pages, by not scattering them all over the partition. But on a solidstate swap device, seeks are cheap, and block remapping to level the wear may be limited by zones: in that case it's better to cycle around the whole partition.

Therefore sys_swapon() test whether blk_queue is non-rotational, and if so randomize the cluster_next starting position for allocation. If blk_queue is nonrot, note SWP_SOLIDSTATE for later use, and report it with an "SS" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ... swap" message (so that if it's both nonrot and discardable, "SSD" will be shown there).

* mm: try_to_unuse check removing right swapHugh Dickins2009-01-071-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a possible race in try_to_unuse() which Nick Piggin led me to two years ago. Where it does lock_page() after read_swap_cache_async(), what if another task removed that page from swapcache just before we locked it? It would sail though the (*swap_map > 1) tests doing nothing (because it could not have been removed from swapcache before its swap references were gone), until it reaches the delete_from_swap_cache(page) near the bottom. Now imagine that this page has been allocated to swap on a different swap area while we dropped page lock (perhaps at the top, perhaps in unuse_mm): we could wrongly remove from swap cache before the page has been written to swap, so a subsequent do_swap_page() would read in stale data from swap. I think this case could not happen before: remove_exclusive_swap_page() refused while page count was raised. But now with reuse_swap_page() and try_to_free_swap() removing from swap cache without minding page count, I think it could happen - the previous patch argued that it was safe because try_to_unuse() already ignored page count, but overlooked that it might be breaking the assumptions in try_to_unuse() itself.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | remove_exclusive_swap_page(): its problem is in living up to its name. It doesn't matter if someone else has a reference to the page (raised page_count); it doesn't matter if the page is mapped into userspace (raised page_mapcount - though that hints it may be worth keeping the swap): all that matters is that there be no more references to the swap (and no writeback in progress). swapoff (try_to_unuse) has been removing pages from swapcache for years, with no concern for page count or page mapcount, and we used to have a comment in lookup_swap_cache() recognizing that: if you go for a page of swapcache, you'll get the right page, but it could have been removed from swapcache by the time you get page lock. So, give up asking for exclusivity: get rid of remove_exclusive_swap_page(), and remove_exclusive_swap_page_ref() and remove_exclusive_swap_page_count() which were spawned for the recent LRU work: replace them by the simpler try_to_free_swap() which just checks page_swapcount(). Similarly, remove the page_count limitation from free_swap_and_count(), but assume that it's worth holding on to the swap if page is mapped and swap nowhere near full. Add a vm_swap_full() test in free_swap_cache()? It would be consistent, but I think we probably have enough for now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A good place to free up old swap is where do_wp_page(), or do_swap_page(), is about to redirty the page: the data on disk is then stale and won't be read again; and if we do decide to write the page out later, using the previous swap location makes an unnecessary disk seek very likely. So give can_share_swap_page() the side-effect of delete_from_swap_cache() when it safely can. And can_share_swap_page() was always a misleading name, the more so if it has a side-effect: rename it reuse_swap_page(). Irrelevant cleanup nearby: remove swap_token_default_timeout definition from swap.h: it's used nowhere.

* x86: consolidate __swp_XXX() macrosJan Beulich2008-12-161-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup, code robustization The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for _PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros. This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in __swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a collision with _PAGE_FILE. Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and pgoff_to_pte() calculations. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* mm: fix ever-decreasing swap priorityHugh Dickins2008-07-241-24/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps positive. Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed. It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's not much point if a pair or more still misbehave. To handle the general case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from -1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES. That's a change, but should cause no regression, since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the positive specified priorities 0 to 32767. One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority. In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

* tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inodeHugh Dickins2008-02-051-13/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap entry, and its handling of the entry found. shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too. Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match. Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.

(To tell the truth, this patch was not inspired by any cries for lower latency here: rather, this restructuring permits a future memory controller patch to allocate with GFP_KERNEL in unuse_pte, where before it could not.

But since it always starts its search from the beginning of the swap "cluster", a reject (free entry) there immediately curtails the readaround, and every swapin_readahead from that cluster is for just a single page. Instead scan forwards and backwards around the target entry. Use better names for some variables: a swap_info pointer is usually called "si" not "swapdev". And at the end, if only the target page should be read, return count of 0 to disable readaround, to avoid the unnecessarily repeated call to read_swap_cache_async.

* swapin needs gfp_mask for loop on tmpfsHugh Dickins2008-02-051-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout. In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has become easy to hang on one machine. Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache). When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in, read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang. So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.
