* mm: kmemleak: avoid false negatives on vmalloc'ed objectsCatalin Marinas2013-11-132-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 248ac0e1943a ("mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocks") had the side effect of making vmap_area.va_end member point to the next vmap_area.va_start. This was creating an artificial reference to vmalloc'ed objects and kmemleak was rarely reporting vmalloc() leaks. This patch marks the vmap_area containing pointers explicitly and reduces the min ref_count to 2 as vm_struct still contains a reference to the vmalloc'ed object. The kmemleak add_scan_area() function has been improved to allow a SIZE_MAX argument covering the rest of the object (for simpler calling sites).

* mm/sparsemem: fix a bug in free_map_bootmem when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAPZhang Yanfei2013-11-131-11/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We pass the number of pages which hold page structs of a memory section to free_map_bootmem(). This is right when !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP but wrong when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we should pass the number of pages of a memory section to free_map_bootmem. So the fix is removing the nr_pages parameter. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we directly use the prefined marco PAGES_PER_SECTION in free_map_bootmem. When !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we calculate page numbers needed to hold the page structs for a memory section and use the value in free_map_bootmem(). This was found by reading the code. And I have no machine that support memory hot-remove to test the bug now.

* mm/sparsemem: use PAGES_PER_SECTION to remove redundant nr_pages parameterZhang Yanfei2013-11-132-20/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For below functions, - sparse_add_one_section() - kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kmalloc_section_memmap() - __kfree_section_memmap() they are always invoked to operate on one memory section, so it is redundant to always pass a nr_pages parameter, which is the page numbers in one section. So we can directly use predefined macro PAGES_PER_SECTION instead of passing the parameter.

* memcg: support hierarchical memory.numa_statsYing Han2013-11-131-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memory.numa_stat file was not hierarchical. Memory charged to the children was not shown in parent's numa_stat. This change adds the "hierarchical_" stats to the existing stats. The new hierarchical stats include the sum of all children's values in addition to the value of the memcg. Tested: Create cgroup a, a/b and run workload under b. The values of b are included in the "hierarchical_*" under a. $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup $ echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy $ mkdir a a/b Run workload in a/b: $ (echo $BASHPID >> a/b/cgroup.procs && cat /some/file && bash) & The hierarchical_ fields in parent (a) show use of workload in a/b: $ cat a/memory.numa_stat total=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 file=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 anon=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 $ cat a/b/memory.numa_stat total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 Signed-off-by: Ying Han <yinghan@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target nodeBob Liu2013-11-131-9/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Khugepaged will scan/free HPAGE_PMD_NR normal pages and replace with a hugepage which is allocated from the node of the first scanned normal page, but this policy is too rough and may end with unexpected result to upper users. The problem is the original page-balancing among all nodes will be broken after hugepaged started. Thinking about the case if the first scanned normal page is allocated from node A, most of other scanned normal pages are allocated from node B or C.. But hugepaged will always allocate hugepage from node A which will cause extra memory pressure on node A which is not the situation before khugepaged started. This patch try to fix this problem by making khugepaged allocate hugepage from the node which have max record of scaned normal pages hit, so that the effect to original page-balancing can be minimized. The other problem is if normal scanned pages are equally allocated from Node A,B and C, after khugepaged started Node A will still suffer extra memory pressure. Andrew Davidoff reported a related issue several days ago. He wanted his application interleaving among all nodes and "numactl --interleave=all ./test" was used to run the testcase, but the result wasn't not as expected. cat /proc/2814/numa_maps: 7f50bd440000 interleave:0-3 anon=51403 dirty=51403 N0=435 N1=435 N2=435 N3=50098 The end result showed that most pages are from Node3 instead of interleave among node0-3 which was unreasonable. This patch also fix this issue by allocating hugepage round robin from all nodes have the same record, after this patch the result was as expected: 7f78399c0000 interleave:0-3 anon=51403 dirty=51403 N0=12723 N1=12723 N2=13235 N3=12722 The simple testcase is like this: int main() { char *p; int i; int j; for (i=0; i < 200; i++) { p = (char *)malloc(1048576); printf("malloc done\n"); if (p == 0) { printf("Out of memory\n"); return 1; } for (j=0; j < 1048576; j++) { p[j] = 'A'; } printf("touched memory\n"); sleep(1); } printf("enter sleep\n"); while(1) { sleep(100); } } [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make last_khugepaged_target_node local to khugepaged_find_target_node()] Reported-by: Andrew Davidoff <davidoff@qedmf.net> Tested-by: Andrew Davidoff <davidoff@qedmf.net> Signed-off-by: Bob Liu <bob.liu@oracle.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Kirill A.

If the buffer is too small, just truncate the string and return, the same behavior as snprintf().

| * | sched/numa: Skip some page migrations after a shared faultRik van Riel2013-10-091-1/+47

This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault. This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is, and to moving the other tasks to near the memory. Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before. Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously, with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.

| * | mm: numa: Do not batch handle PMD pagesMel Gorman2013-10-092-144/+4

The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch. When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but there are a number of reasons not to 1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get migrated 2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems due to PID truncation when matching PIDs. 3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy. PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for being grouped together.

With automatic NUMA balancing this may result in the tasks working set being migrated to the new node. However, as the fault buffer will still store faults from the old node the schduler may decide to reset the preferred node and migrate the task back resulting in more migrations. The ideal would be that the scheduler did not migrate tasks with a heavy memory footprint but this may result nodes being overloaded. We could also discard the fault information on task migration but this would still cause all the tasks working set to be migrated.

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.

This patch addresses the problem and should reduce TLB flushes.

| * | mm: Account for a THP NUMA hinting update as one PTE updateMel Gorman2013-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A THP PMD update is accounted for as 512 pages updated in vmstat. This is large difference when estimating the cost of automatic NUMA balancing and can be misleading when comparing results that had collapsed versus split THP. This patch addresses the accounting issue.

This patch extends the page lock to being held until the pmd_numa is cleared to prevent migration starting in parallel while the pmd_numa is being cleared. It also flushes the old pmd entry and orders pagetable insertion before rmap insertion.
