2013-09-12mm, thp: count thp_fault_fallback anytime thp fault failsDavid Rientjes
Currently, thp_fault_fallback in vmstat only gets incremented if a hugepage allocation fails. If current's memcg hits its limit or the page fault handler returns an error, it is incorrectly accounted as a successful thp_fault_alloc. Count thp_fault_fallback anytime the page fault handler falls back to using regular pages and only count thp_fault_alloc when a hugepage has actually been faulted.

2013-07-31thp, mm: avoid PageUnevictable on active/inactive lru listsKirill A. Shutemov
active/inactive lru lists can contain unevicable pages (i.e. ramfs pages that have been placed on the LRU lists when first allocated), but these pages must not have PageUnevictable set - otherwise shrink_[in]active_list goes crazy: kernel BUG at /home/space/kas/git/public/linux-next/mm/vmscan.c:1122! 1090 static unsigned long isolate_lru_pages(unsigned long nr_to_scan, 1091 struct lruvec *lruvec, struct list_head *dst, 1092 unsigned long *nr_scanned, struct scan_control *sc, 1093 isolate_mode_t mode, enum lru_list lru) 1094 { ... 1108 switch (__isolate_lru_page(page, mode)) { 1109 case 0: ... 1116 case -EBUSY: ... 1121 default: 1122 BUG(); 1123 } 1124 } ... 1130 } __isolate_lru_page() returns EINVAL for PageUnevictable(page). For lru_add_page_tail(), it means we should not set PageUnevictable() for tail pages unless we're sure that it will go to LRU_UNEVICTABLE. Let's just copy PG_active and PG_unevictable from head page in __split_huge_page_refcount(), it will simplify lru_add_page_tail(). This will fix one more bug in lru_add_page_tail(): if page_evictable(page_tail) is false and PageLRU(page) is true, page_tail will go to the same lru as page, but nobody cares to sync page_tail active/inactive state with page. So we can end up with inactive page on active lru. The patch will fix it as well since we copy PG_active from head page. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2013-07-03mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes trackingPavel Emelyanov
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task writes to. In order to do this tracking one should 1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs) 2. Wait some time. 3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries) To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE. Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory, and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE. Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

2013-04-29THP: fix comment about memory barrierMinchan Kim
Currently the memory barrier in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page doesn't work. Because lru_cache_add_lru uses pagevec so it could miss spinlock easily so above rule was broken so user might see inconsistent data. I was not first person who pointed out the problem. Mel and Peter pointed out a few months ago and Peter pointed out further that even spin_lock/unlock can't make sure of it: http://marc.info/?t=134333512700004 In particular: *A = a; LOCK UNLOCK *B = b; may occur as: LOCK, STORE *B, STORE *A, UNLOCK At last, Hugh pointed out that even we don't need memory barrier in there because __SetPageUpdate already have done it from Nick's commit 0ed361dec369 ("mm: fix PageUptodate data race") explicitly. So this patch fixes comment on THP and adds same comment for do_anonymous_page, too because everybody except Hugh was missing that. It means we need a comment about that.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more conflicts than it is worth.

2013-02-23mm: numa: cleanup flow of transhuge page migrationHugh Dickins
When correcting commit 04fa5d6a6547 ("mm: migrate: check page_count of THP before migrating") Hugh Dickins noted that the control flow for transhuge migration was difficult to follow. Unconditionally calling put_page() in numamigrate_isolate_page() made the failure paths of both migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() and migrate_misplaced_page() more complex that they should be. Further, he was extremely wary that an unlock_page() should ever happen after a put_page() even if the put_page() should never be the final put_page. Hugh implemented the following cleanup to simplify the path by calling putback_lru_page() inside numamigrate_isolate_page() if it failed to isolate and always calling unlock_page() within migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(). There is no functional change after this patch is applied but the code is easier to follow and unlock_page() always happens before put_page().

Reverting these commits was reported to solve the problem for Alexander. Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct source of the problem. split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to be exclusive to serialise the whole split operation. Ordinarily it is expected that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the avcs but THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split operations where the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the page is changing from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table locks are insufficient. This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.

In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...

2012-12-12thp: implement refcounting for huge zero pageKirill A. Shutemov
H. Peter Anvin doesn't like huge zero page which sticks in memory forever after the first allocation. Here's implementation of lockless refcounting for huge zero page. We have two basic primitives: {get,put}_huge_zero_page(). They manipulate reference counter. If counter is 0, get_huge_zero_page() allocates a new huge page and takes two references: one for caller and one for shrinker. We free the page only in shrinker callback if counter is 1 (only shrinker has the reference). put_huge_zero_page() only decrements counter. Counter is never zero in put_huge_zero_page() since shrinker holds on reference. Freeing huge zero page in shrinker callback helps to avoid frequent allocate-free. Refcounting has cost. On 4 socket machine I observe ~1% slowdown on parallel (40 processes) read page faulting comparing to lazy huge page allocation. I think it's pretty reasonable for synthetic benchmark.

Pass vma instead of mm and add address parameter. In most cases we already have vma on the stack. We provides split_huge_page_pmd_mm() for few cases when we have mm, but not vma. This change is preparation to huge zero pmd splitting implementation. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2012-12-12thp: huge zero page: basic preparationKirill A. Shutemov
During testing I noticed big (up to 2.5 times) memory consumption overhead on some workloads (e.g. ft.A from NPB) if THP is enabled. The main reason for that big difference is lacking zero page in THP case. We have to allocate a real page on read page fault. A program to demonstrate the issue: #include <assert.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #define MB 1024*1024 int main(int argc, char **argv) { char *p; int i; posix_memalign((void **)&p, 2 * MB, 200 * MB); for (i = 0; i < 200 * MB; i+= 4096) assert(p[i] == 0); pause(); return 0; } With thp-never RSS is about 400k, but with thp-always it's 200M. After the patcheset thp-always RSS is 400k too. Design overview. Huge zero page (hzp) is a non-movable huge page (2M on x86-64) filled with zeros. The way how we allocate it changes in the patchset: - [01/10] simplest way: hzp allocated on boot time in hugepage_init(); - [09/10] lazy allocation on first use; - [10/10] lockless refcounting + shrinker-reclaimable hzp; We setup it in do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() if area around fault address is suitable for THP and we've got read page fault. If we fail to setup hzp (ENOMEM) we fallback to handle_pte_fault() as we normally do in THP. On wp fault to hzp we allocate real memory for the huge page and clear it. If ENOMEM, graceful fallback: we create a new pmd table and set pte around fault address to newly allocated normal (4k) page. All other ptes in the pmd set to normal zero page. We cannot split hzp (and it's bug if we try), but we can split the pmd which points to it. On splitting the pmd we create a table with all ptes set to normal zero page. === By hpa's request I've tried alternative approach for hzp implementation (see Virtual huge zero page patchset): pmd table with all entries set to zero page. This way should be more cache friendly, but it increases TLB pressure. The problem with virtual huge zero page: it requires per-arch enabling. We need a way to mark that pmd table has all ptes set to zero page.

2012-12-11mm: thp: set the accessed flag for old pages on access faultWill Deacon
On x86 memory accesses to pages without the ACCESSED flag set result in the ACCESSED flag being set automatically. With the ARM architecture a page access fault is raised instead (and it will continue to be raised until the ACCESSED flag is set for the appropriate PTE/PMD). For normal memory pages, handle_pte_fault will call pte_mkyoung (effectively setting the ACCESSED flag). For transparent huge pages, pmd_mkyoung will only be called for a write fault. This patch ensures that faults on transparent hugepages which do not result in a CoW update the access flags for the faulting pmd.
