* memcg: move charges of anonymous swapDaisuke Nishimura2010-03-121-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration feature. It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps. To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record. In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by: - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache. - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache. This works well in usual swap-in/out activity. But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely. So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record()) to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record. This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

* mm: add comment on swap_duplicate's error codeHugh Dickins2010-03-061-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | swap_duplicate()'s loop appears to miss out on returning the error code from __swap_duplicate(), except when that's -ENOMEM. In fact this is intentional: prior to -ENOMEM for swap_count_continuation, swap_duplicate() was void (and the case only occurs when copy_one_pte() hits a corrupt pte). But that's surprising behaviour, which certainly deserves a comment.

* mm/swapfile.c: fix swapon size off-by-oneHugh Dickins2010-03-061-13/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's an off-by-one disagreement between mkswap and swapon about the meaning of swap_header last_page: mkswap (in all versions I've looked at: util-linux-ng and BusyBox and old util-linux; probably as far back as 1999) consistently means the offset (in page units) of the last page of the swap area, whereas kernel sys_swapon (as far back as 2.2 and 2.3) strangely takes it to mean the size (in page units) of the swap area. This disagreement is the safe way round; but it's worrying people, and loses us one page of swap. The fix is not just to add one to nr_good_pages: we need to get maxpages (the size of the swap_map array) right before that; and though that is an unsigned long, be careful not to overflow the unsigned int p->max which later holds it (probably why header uses __u32 last_page instead of size). Why did we subtract one from the maximum swp_offset to calculate maxpages? Though it was probably me who made that change in 2.4.10, I don't get it: and now we should be adding one (without risk of overflow in this case). Fix the handling of swap_header badpages: it could have overrun the swap_map when very large swap area used on a more limited architecture. Remove pre-initializations of swap_header, nr_good_pages and maxpages: those date from when sys_swapon was supporting other versions of header.

* mm: count swap usageKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-03-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A frequent questions from users about memory management is what numbers of swap ents are user for processes. And this information will give some hints to oom-killer. Besides we can count the number of swapents per a process by scanning /proc/<pid>/smaps, this is very slow and not good for usual process information handler which works like 'ps' or 'top'. (ps or top is now enough slow..) This patch adds a counter of swapents to mm_counter and update is at each swap events.

* ksm: let shared pages be swappableHugh Dickins2009-12-151-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when faced with a PageKsm page. Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch. Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap. Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that page's node of the stable tree. The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma. (And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.) ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page. Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability. Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

* mm: define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGSHugh Dickins2009-12-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present we define PageAnon(page) by the low PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit set in page->mapping, with the higher bits a pointer to the anon_vma; and have defined PageKsm(page) as that with NULL anon_vma. But KSM swapping will need to store a pointer there: so in preparation for that, now define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS as the low two bits, including PAGE_MAPPING_KSM (always set along with PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, until some other use for the bit emerges). Declare page_rmapping(page) to return the pointer part of page->mapping, and page_anon_vma(page) to return the anon_vma pointer when that's what it is. Use these in a few appropriate places: notably, unuse_vma() has been testing page->mapping, but is better to be testing page_anon_vma() (cases may be added in which flag bits are set without any pointer).

Rework map_swap_page() to do what its name says and map a page to a page offset in the swap space. The only other caller of map_swap_page() is internal to mm/swapfile.c and it does want to map a swap entry to the 'sector'. So rename map_swap_page() to map_swap_entry(), make it 'static' and and implement map_swap_page() as a wrapper around that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While we're fiddling with the swap_map values, let's assign a particular value to shmem/tmpfs swap pages: their swap counts are never incremented, and it helps swapoff's try_to_unuse() a little if it can immediately distinguish those pages from process pages. Since we've no use for SWAP_MAP_BAD | COUNT_CONTINUED, we might as well use that 0xbf value for SWAP_MAP_SHMEM.

* swap_info: swap count continuationsHugh Dickins2009-12-151-54/+250
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry). swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag) We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff: at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances, assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong. Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented, and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count: possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT. This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows, a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced: the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | While testing Swap over NFS patchset, I noticed an oops that was triggered during swapon. Investigating further, the NULL pointer deference is due to the SSD device check/optimization in the swapon code that assumes s_bdev could never be NULL. inode->i_sb->s_bdev could be NULL in a few cases. For e.g. one such case is loopback NFS mount, there could be others as well. Fix this by ensuring s_bdev is not NULL before we try to deference s_bdev.

In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when swap is completely freed. But there are several cases where swap cannot be freed cleanly. For handling that, this patch changes that memcg uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache. By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the application's behavior. This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.

* mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flagKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-06-161-55/+159
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak. But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg. There are 2 kinds of references to swap. - reference from swap entry - reference from swap cache Then, - If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache. (*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[], current usage of counter is not very good. This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12239 The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device. This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't affect the image which gets resumed. But it means multiple _failed_ hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use! swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of(). It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device. Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device passed to it. So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode. This is by design and other callers expect this behaviour. The fix is for swap_type_of() to take a reference on the inode using bdget().

* memcg: mem+swap controller coreKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-081-4/+7

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mm: optimize get_scan_ratio for no swapHugh Dickins2009-01-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rik suggests a simplified get_scan_ratio() for !CONFIG_SWAP. Yes, the gcc optimizer gives us that, when nr_swap_pages is #defined as 0L. Move usual declaration to swapfile.c: it never belonged in page_alloc.c.

* mm: try_to_unuse check removing right swapHugh Dickins2009-01-061-1/+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.
