* | | mm: soft-offline: use migrate_pages() instead of migrate_huge_page()Naoya Horiguchi2013-09-112-29/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently migrate_huge_page() takes a pointer to a hugepage to be migrated as an argument, instead of taking a pointer to the list of hugepages to be migrated. This behavior was introduced in commit 189ebff28 ("hugetlb: simplify migrate_huge_page()"), and was OK because until now hugepage migration is enabled only for soft-offlining which migrates only one hugepage in a single call. But the situation will change in the later patches in this series which enable other users of page migration to support hugepage migration. They can kick migration for both of normal pages and hugepages in a single call, so we need to go back to original implementation which uses linked lists to collect the hugepages to be migrated. With this patch, soft_offline_huge_page() switches to use migrate_pages(), and migrate_huge_page() is not used any more. So let's remove it.

* | | mm: migrate: make core migration code aware of hugepageNaoya Horiguchi2013-09-112-2/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently hugepage migration is available only for soft offlining, but it's also useful for some other users of page migration (clearly because users of hugepage can enjoy the benefit of mempolicy and memory hotplug.) So this patchset tries to extend such users to support hugepage migration. The target of this patchset is to enable hugepage migration for NUMA related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and memory hotplug. This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction, because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages. CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack of testing and expertise in CMA.) Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now (again, because of lack of testing.) As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9 is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation. My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code is available here: git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With this patchset, no regression was found in the test. This patch (of 9): Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage, this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages() and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages.

* | | mm, hugetlb: return a reserved page to a reserved pool if failedJoonsoo Kim2013-09-111-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we fail with a reserved page, just calling put_page() is not sufficient, because put_page() invoke free_huge_page() at last step and it doesn't know whether a page comes from a reserved pool or not. So it doesn't do anything related to reserved count. This makes reserve count lower than how we need, because reserve count already decrease in dequeue_huge_page_vma(). This patch fix this situation.

The lock is held in common sysfs online/offline interfaces and ACPI hotplug code paths. And here are the code paths: - CPU & Mem online/offline via sysfs online store_online()->lock_device_hotplug() - Mem online via sysfs state: store_mem_state()->lock_device_hotplug() - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-add: acpi_scan_bus_device_check()->lock_device_hotplug() - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-delete: acpi_scan_hot_remove()->lock_device_hotplug() try_offline_node() off-lines a node if all memory sections and cpus are removed on the node. It is called from acpi_processor_remove() and acpi_memory_remove_memory()->remove_memory() paths, both of which are in the ACPI hotplug code. try_offline_node() calls stop_machine() to stop all cpus while checking all cpu status with the assumption that the caller is not protected from CPU hotplug or CPU online/offline operations. However, the caller is always serialized with lock_device_hotplug(). Also, the code needs to be properly serialized with a lock, not by stopping all cpus at a random place with stop_machine(). This patch removes the use of stop_machine() in try_offline_node() and adds comments to try_offline_node() and remove_memory() that lock_device_hotplug() is required.

There are problems when an unaligned range is added and then deleted as follows: - add_memory() with an unaligned range succeeds, but __add_pages() called from add_memory() adds a whole section of pages even though a given memory range is less than the section size. - remove_memory() to the added unaligned range hits BUG_ON() in __remove_pages(). This patch changes add_memory() and remove_memory() to check if a given memory range is aligned with section at the beginning. As the result, add_memory() fails with -EINVAL when a given range is unaligned, and does not add such memory range. This prevents remove_memory() to be called with an unaligned range as well. Note that remove_memory() has to use BUG_ON() since this function cannot fail.

* | | readahead: make context readahead more conservativeFengguang Wu2013-09-111-4/+4

Transaction-Per-Second numbers provided by Taobao: QPS case ------------------------------------------------------- 7536 disable context readahead totally w/ patch: 7129 slower size rampup and start RA on the 3rd read 6717 slower size rampup w/o patch: 5581 unmodified context readahead Before, readahead will be started whenever reading page N+1 when it happen to read N recently. After patch, we'll only start readahead when *three* random reads happen to access pages N, N+1, N+2. The probability of this happening is extremely low for pure random reads, unless they are very dense, which actually deserves some readahead. Also start with a smaller readahead window. The impact to interleaved sequential reads should be small, because for a long run stream, the the small readahead window rampup phase is negletable. The context readahead actually benefits clustered random reads on HDD whose seek cost is pretty high. However as SSD is increasingly used for random read workloads it's better for the context readahead to concentrate on interleaved sequential reads.

This patch (of 3): It is better to have a separate folding function because refresh_cpu_vm_stats() also does other things like expire pages in the page allocator caches. If we have a separate function then refresh_cpu_vm_stats() is only called from the local cpu which allows additional optimizations. The folding function is only called when a cpu is being downed and therefore no other processor will be accessing the counters. Also simplifies synchronization.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We rarely allocate a page with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS and it is used in slow path. For helping compiler optimization, add unlikely macro to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS checking. This patch doesn't have any effect now, because gcc already optimize this properly. But we cannot assume that gcc always does right and nobody re-evaluate if gcc do proper optimization with their change, for example, it is not optimized properly on v3.10. So adding compiler hint here is reasonable.

* | | mm, hugetlb: decrement reserve count if VM_NORESERVE alloc page cacheJoonsoo Kim2013-09-111-8/+26

If this address is already reserved by other process(in case of chg == 0), we should decrement reserve count, because this allocated page will go into page cache and currently, there is no way to know that this page comes from reserved pool or not when releasing inode. This may introduce over-counting problem to reserved count. With following example code, you can easily reproduce this situation. Assume 2MB, nr_hugepages = 100 size = 20 * MB; flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } flag = MAP_SHARED | MAP_NORESERVE; q = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (q == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } q[0] = 'c'; After finish the program, run 'cat /proc/meminfo'. You can see below result. HugePages_Free: 100 HugePages_Rsvd: 1 To fix this, we should check our mapping type and tracked region. If our mapping is VM_NORESERVE, VM_MAYSHARE and chg is 0, this imply that current allocated page will go into page cache which is already reserved region when mapping is created. In this case, we should decrease reserve count. As implementing above, this patch solve the problem.

HugePages_Free: 99 HugePages_Rsvd: 100 Number of free should be higher or equal than number of reserve, but this aren't. This represent that non reserved shared mapping steal a reserved page. Non reserved shared mapping should not eat into reserve space. If we consider VM_NORESERVE in vma_has_reserve() and return 0 which mean that we don't have reserved pages, then we check that we have enough free pages in dequeue_huge_page_vma().

If we find this condition, we don't allocate a new page and copy contents. Instead, we map this page directly. This may introduce a problem that writting to private mapping overwrite hugetlb file directly. You can find this situation with following code. size = 20 * MB; flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } p[0] = 's'; fprintf(stdout, "BEFORE STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]); munmap(p, size); flag = MAP_PRIVATE; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } p[0] = 'c'; munmap(p, size); flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } fprintf(stdout, "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]); munmap(p, size); We can see that "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: c", not "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: s". If we turn off this optimization to a page in page cache, the problem is disappeared. So, I change the trigger condition of optimization. If this page is not AnonPage, we don't do optimization. This makes this optimization turning off for a page cache.

Otherwise, the time an individual page gets to stay in memory depends on the zone it happened to be allocated in. Asymmetry in the zone aging creates rather unpredictable aging behavior and results in the wrong pages being reclaimed, activated etc. But exactly this happens right now because of the way the page allocator and kswapd interact. The page allocator uses per-node lists of all zones in the system, ordered by preference, when allocating a new page. When the first iteration does not yield any results, kswapd is woken up and the allocator retries. Due to the way kswapd reclaims zones below the high watermark while a zone can be allocated from when it is above the low watermark, the allocator may keep kswapd running while kswapd reclaim ensures that the page allocator can keep allocating from the first zone in the zonelist for extended periods of time. Meanwhile the other zones rarely see new allocations and thus get aged much slower in comparison. The result is that the occasional page placed in lower zones gets relatively more time in memory, even gets promoted to the active list after its peers have long been evicted. Meanwhile, the bulk of the working set may be thrashing on the preferred zone even though there may be significant amounts of memory available in the lower zones. Even the most basic test -- repeatedly reading a file slightly bigger than memory -- shows how broken the zone aging is. In this scenario, no single page should be able stay in memory long enough to get referenced twice and activated, but activation happens in spades: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 8 nr_inactive_file 1582 nr_active_file 11994 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 70 nr_inactive_file 258753 nr_active_file 443214 nr_inactive_file 149793 nr_active_file 12021 Fix this with a very simple round robin allocator. Each zone is allowed a batch of allocations that is proportional to the zone's size, after which it is treated as full. The batch counters are reset when all zones have been tried and the allocator enters the slowpath and kicks off kswapd reclaim. Allocation and reclaim is now fairly spread out to all available/allowable zones: $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 174 nr_active_file 4865 nr_inactive_file 53 nr_active_file 860 $ cat data data data data >/dev/null $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo nr_inactive_file 0 nr_active_file 0 nr_inactive_file 666622 nr_active_file 4988 nr_inactive_file 190969 nr_active_file 937 When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, allocations will now spread out to all zones on the local node, not just the first preferred zone (which on a 4G node might be a tiny Normal zone).

This patch: When the page allocator fails to get a page from all zones in its given zonelist, it wakes up the per-node kswapds for all zones that are at their low watermark. However, with a system under load the free pages in a zone can fluctuate enough that the allocation fails but the kswapd wakeup is also skipped while the zone is still really close to the low watermark. When one node misses a wakeup like this, it won't be aged before all the other node's zones are down to their low watermarks again. And skipping a full aging cycle is an obvious fairness problem. Kswapd runs until the high watermarks are restored, so it should also be woken when the high watermarks are not met. This ages nodes more equally and creates a safety margin for the page counter fluctuation. By using zone_balanced(), it will now check, in addition to the watermark, if compaction requires more order-0 pages to create a higher order page.

* | | mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bugSrivatsa S. Bhat2013-09-111-36/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside! First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of pageblocks. Under some conditions, we try to move upto 'pageblock_nr_pages' no. of pages to the preferred allocation list. But we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set). However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the 'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not. So, the page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e., 'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0). So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to the right place. But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype' variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()". Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is MIGRATE_CMA!! To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA. So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug. And while at it, also add a comment explaining the subtlety behind the migratetype used in the call to expand().

* | | swap: make cluster allocation per-cpuShaohua Li2013-09-111-34/+91

But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

We should use ACCESS_ONCE() there, and whenever accessing swap_map locklessly; but rather than peppering it throughout try_to_unuse(), just declare *swap_map with volatile. try_to_unuse() is accustomed to *swap_map going down racily, but not necessarily to it jumping up from 0 to SWAP_MAP_BAD: we'll be safer to prevent that transition once SWP_WRITEOK is switched off, when it's a waste of time to issue discards anyway (swapon can do a whole discard). Another issue is: In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry, because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad. This doesn't break anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page reclaim. We should avoid read such swap entry. And in discard, we mark swap entry SWAP_MAP_BAD and then switch it to normal when discard is finished. If readahead reads such swap entry, we have the same issue, so we much check if swap entry is bad too. Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.

This is useless for high end SSD, because an overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A discard + overwrite == overwrite. 2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write. Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard earlier or later doesn't make 3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map() significantly. 4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD. Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently. This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole cluster. My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).
