2014-10-30mm/balloon_compaction: fix deflation when compaction is disabledKonstantin Khlebnikov1-0/+2
If CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION=n balloon_page_insert() does not link pages with balloon and doesn't set PagePrivate flag, as a result balloon_page_dequeue() cannot get any pages because it thinks that all of them are isolated. Without balloon compaction nobody can isolate ballooned pages. It's safe to remove this check. Fixes: d6d86c0a7f8d ("mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages management").

2014-10-30mm/slab_common: don't check for duplicate cache namesMikulas Patocka1-10/+0
The SLUB cache merges caches with the same size and alignment and there was long standing bug with this behavior: - create the cache named "foo" - create the cache named "bar" (which is merged with "foo") - delete the cache named "foo" (but it stays allocated because "bar" uses it) - create the cache named "foo" again - it fails because the name "foo" is already used That bug was fixed in commit 694617474e33 ("slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab names") by not warning on duplicate cache names when the SLUB subsystem is used. Recently, cache merging was implemented the with SLAB subsystem too, in 12220dea07f1 ("mm/slab: support slab merge")). Therefore we need stop checking for duplicate names even for the SLAB subsystem. This patch fixes the bug by removing the check.

2014-10-30mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback page accountingJohannes Weiner3-68/+79
Commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed page migration to uncharge the old page right away. The page is locked, unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly: test_clear_page_writeback() migration wait_on_page_writeback() TestClearPageWriteback() mem_cgroup_migrate() clear PCG_USED mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) decrease memcg pages under writeback release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path, which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later. Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of the transaction and then uses it throughout. The charge will be verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge the page as long as that is still set. The RCU lock will protect the memcg past uncharge. As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead. There is no actual difference: old: 33.195102545 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.01% ) new: 33.199231369 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.03% ) The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced: # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol old: 0.12% 0.11% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap new: 0.12% 0.08% filemapstress [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_remove_rmap Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.17.x] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

But if the pgdat is allocated by bootmem allocator, the clearing step is skipped. And when hot adding the same memory, the uninitialized pgdat is reused. But free_area_init_node() checks wether pgdat is set to zero. As a result, free_area_init_node() hits WARN_ON(). This patch clears pgdat which is allocated by bootmem allocator in try_offline_node().

2014-10-30mm, thp: fix collapsing of hugepages on madviseDavid Rientjes2-9/+10
If an anonymous mapping is not allowed to fault thp memory and then madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) is used after fault, khugepaged will never collapse this memory into thp memory. This occurs because the madvise(2) handler for thp, hugepage_madvise(), clears VM_NOHUGEPAGE on the stack and it isn't stored in vma->vm_flags until the final action of madvise_behavior(). This causes the khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() to be a no-op in hugepage_madvise() when the vma had previously had VM_NOHUGEPAGE set. Fix this by passing the correct vma flags to the khugepaged mm slot handler. There's no chance khugepaged can run on this vma until after madvise_behavior() returns since we hold mm->mmap_sem. It would be possible to clear VM_NOHUGEPAGE directly from vma->vm_flags in hugepage_advise(), but I didn't want to introduce special case behavior into madvise_behavior(). I think it's best to just let it always set vma->vm_flags itself. Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Reported-by: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

2014-10-30mm: free compound page with correct orderYu Zhao1-2/+2
Compound page should be freed by put_page() or free_pages() with correct order. Not doing so will cause tail pages leaked. The compound order can be obtained by compound_order() or use HPAGE_PMD_ORDER in our case. Some people would argue the latter is faster but I prefer the former which is more general. This bug was observed not just on our servers (the worst case we saw is 11G leaked on a 48G machine) but also on our workstations running Ubuntu based distro. $ cat /proc/vmstat | grep thp_zero_page_alloc thp_zero_page_alloc 55 thp_zero_page_alloc_failed 0 This means there is (thp_zero_page_alloc - 1) * (2M - 4K) memory leaked.

2014-10-30mm/compaction.c: avoid premature range skip in isolate_migratepages_rangeJoonsoo Kim1-0/+3
Commit edc2ca612496 ("mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range()") commonizes isolate_migratepages variants and make them use isolate_migratepages_block(). isolate_migratepages_block() could stop the execution when enough pages are isolated, but, there is no code in isolate_migratepages_range() to handle this case. In the result, even if isolate_migratepages_block() returns prematurely without checking all pages in the range, isolate_migratepages_block() is called repeately on the following pageblock and some pages in the previous range are skipped to check. Then, CMA is failed frequently due to this fact. To fix this problem, this patch let isolate_migratepages_range() know the situation that enough pages are isolated and stop the isolation in that case. Note that isolate_migratepages() has no such problem, because, it always stops the isolation after just one call of isolate_migratepages_block().

2014-10-30cgroup/kmemleak: add kmemleak_free() for cgroup deallocations.Wang Nan1-0/+1
Commit ff7ee93f4715 ("cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup allocations") introduces kmemleak_alloc() for alloc_page_cgroup(), but corresponding kmemleak_free() is missing, which makes kmemleak be wrongly disabled after memory offlining. Log is pasted at the end of this commit message. This patch add kmemleak_free() into free_page_cgroup(). During page offlining, this patch removes corresponding entries in kmemleak rbtree. After that, the freed memory can be allocated again by other subsystems without killing kmemleak. bash # for x in 1 2 3 4; do echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory$x/state ; sleep 1; done ; dmesg | grep leak Offlined Pages 32768 kmemleak: Cannot insert 0xffff880016969000 into the object search tree (overlaps existing) CPU: 0 PID: 412 Comm: sleep Not tainted 3.17.0-rc5+ #86 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x46/0x58 create_object+0x266/0x2c0 kmemleak_alloc+0x26/0x50 kmem_cache_alloc+0xd3/0x160 __sigqueue_alloc+0x49/0xd0 __send_signal+0xcb/0x410 send_signal+0x45/0x90 __group_send_sig_info+0x13/0x20 do_notify_parent+0x1bb/0x260 do_exit+0x767/0xa40 do_group_exit+0x44/0xa0 SyS_exit_group+0x17/0x20 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b kmemleak: Kernel memory leak detector disabled kmemleak: Object 0xffff880016900000 (size 524288): kmemleak: comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294667296 kmemleak: min_count = 0 kmemleak: count = 0 kmemleak: flags = 0x1 kmemleak: checksum = 0 kmemleak: backtrace: log_early+0x63/0x77 kmemleak_alloc+0x4b/0x50 init_section_page_cgroup+0x7f/0xf5 page_cgroup_init+0xc5/0xd0 start_kernel+0x333/0x408 x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c x86_64_start_kernel+0xf5/0xfc Fixes: ff7ee93f4715 (cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup allocations) Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.2+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2014-10-28zap_pte_range: update addr when forcing flush after TLB batching faiureWill Deacon1-0/+1
When unmapping a range of pages in zap_pte_range, the page being unmapped is added to an mmu_gather_batch structure for asynchronous freeing. If we run out of space in the batch structure before the range has been completely unmapped, then we break out of the loop, force a TLB flush and free the pages that we have batched so far. If there are further pages to unmap, then we resume the loop where we left off. Unfortunately, we forget to update addr when we break out of the loop, which causes us to truncate the range being invalidated as the end address is exclusive. When we re-enter the loop at the same address, the page has already been freed and the pte_present test will fail, meaning that we do not reconsider the address for invalidation. This patch fixes the problem by incrementing addr by the PAGE_SIZE before breaking out of the loop on batch failure.

2014-10-22OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspendMichal Hocko2-0/+25
PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time freeze_processes finishes. Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is, however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case. Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal. Changes since v1 - push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more readable as per Rafael Fixes: f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring) Cc: 3.2+ <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.2+ Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2014-10-14mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY clearedPeter Feiner3-33/+35
For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

2014-10-14mm/cma: fix cma bitmap aligned mask computingWeijie Yang1-1/+3
The current cma bitmap aligned mask computation is incorrect. It could cause an unexpected alignment when using cma_alloc() if the wanted align order is larger than cma->order_per_bit. Take kvm for example (PAGE_SHIFT = 12), kvm_cma->order_per_bit is set to 6. When kvm_alloc_rma() tries to alloc kvm_rma_pages, it will use 15 as the expected align value. After using the current implementation however, we get 0 as cma bitmap aligned mask other than 511. This patch fixes the cma bitmap aligned mask calculation.

2014-10-14mm/slab: fix unaligned access on sparc64Joonsoo Kim1-1/+1
Commit bf0dea23a9c0 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache") changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to 0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment. Following bug report is reported from David Miller. I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64: [603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0 [603965.396987] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b60] free_block+0xa0/0x1a0 ...

This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for writeback IOs. Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator") just now. - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on 64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects directly. - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with blk-mq support).

2014-10-10zbud: avoid accessing last unused freelistChao Yu1-6/+7
For now, there are NCHUNKS of 64 freelists in zbud_pool, the last unbuddied[63] freelist linked with all zbud pages which have free chunks of 63. Calculating according to context of num_free_chunks(), our max chunk number of unbuddied zbud page is 62, so none of zbud pages will be added/removed in last freelist, but still we will try to find an unbuddied zbud page in the last unused freelist, it is unneeded. This patch redefines NCHUNKS to 63 as free chunk number in one zbud page, hence we can decrease size of zpool and avoid accessing the last unused freelist whenever failing to allocate zbud from freelist in zbud_alloc.

2014-10-10zsmalloc: simplify init_zspage free obj linkingDan Streetman1-9/+5
Change zsmalloc init_zspage() logic to iterate through each object on each of its pages, checking the offset to verify the object is on the current page before linking it into the zspage. The current zsmalloc init_zspage free object linking code has logic that relies on there only being one page per zspage when PAGE_SIZE is a multiple of class->size. It calculates the number of objects for the current page, and iterates through all of them plus one, to account for the assumed partial object at the end of the page. While this currently works, the logic can be simplified to just link the object at each successive offset until the offset is larger than PAGE_SIZE, which does not rely on PAGE_SIZE being a multiple of class->size.

2014-10-10zsmalloc: move pages_allocated to zs_poolMinchan Kim1-15/+8
Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can deplete system memory. Users have asked for a limit several times as even without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the platform. This patchset adds the feature. Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used frequently in later patches for the new feature. Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT). Patch 3 adds new feature. I added the feature into zram layer, not zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary branch of zsmalloc. In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc easily but vice versa would be painful. Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total and ensures transient max are not missed. This patch (of 4): pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from each size_class to report the sum. It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov. This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]).

2014-10-10vmstat: on-demand vmstat workers V8Christoph Lameter1-21/+120
vmstat workers are used for folding counter differentials into the zone, per node and global counters at certain time intervals. They currently run at defined intervals on all processors which will cause some holdoff for processors that need minimal intrusion by the OS. The current vmstat_update mechanism depends on a deferrable timer firing every other second by default which registers a work queue item that runs on the local CPU, with the result that we have 1 interrupt and one additional schedulable task on each CPU every 2 seconds If a workload indeed causes VM activity or multiple tasks are running on a CPU, then there are probably bigger issues to deal with. However, some workloads dedicate a CPU for a single CPU bound task. This is done in high performance computing, in high frequency financial applications, in networking (Intel DPDK, EZchip NPS) and with the advent of systems with more and more CPUs over time, this may become more and more common to do since when one has enough CPUs one cares less about efficiently sharing a CPU with other tasks and more about efficiently monopolizing a CPU per task. The difference of having this timer firing and workqueue kernel thread scheduled per second can be enormous. An artificial test measuring the worst case time to do a simple "i++" in an endless loop on a bare metal system and under Linux on an isolated CPU with dynticks and with and without this patch, have Linux match the bare metal performance (~700 cycles) with this patch and loose by couple of orders of magnitude (~200k cycles) without it[*]. The loss occurs for something that just calculates statistics. For networking applications, for example, this could be the difference between dropping packets or sustaining line rate. Statistics are important and useful, but it would be great if there would be a way to not cause statistics gathering produce a huge performance difference. This patche does just that. This patch creates a vmstat shepherd worker that monitors the per cpu differentials on all processors. If there are differentials on a processor then a vmstat worker local to the processors with the differentials is created. That worker will then start folding the diffs in regular intervals. Should the worker find that there is no work to be done then it will make the shepherd worker monitor the differentials again. With this patch it is possible then to have periods longer than 2 seconds without any OS event on a "cpu" (hardware thread). The patch shows a very minor increased in system performance. hackbench -s 512 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P Results before the patch: Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.992 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.971 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 5.063 Hackbench after the patch: Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.973 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.990 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.993 [fengguang.wu@intel.com: cpu_stat_off can be static] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Reviewed-by: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Cc: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Cc: Hakan Akkan <hakanakkan@gmail.com> Cc: Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qti.qualcomm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2014-10-10mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages managementKonstantin Khlebnikov3-27/+17
Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags inside struct anon_vma. Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation: * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works: balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with balloon an all ability for further migration. * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically, this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages. * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate: balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they use trylock_page() for locking. This patch fixes all of them. Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier. PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to the balloon device.

2014-10-10mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast()Steve Capper2-0/+357
This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64. These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0). Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast implementation. This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and certain KVM workloads. This patch (of 6): get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to block any THP splits. One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages are freed. On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too often. This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their own get_user_pages_fast routines. The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk. This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations. It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

2014-10-10memcg: zap memcg_can_account_kmemVladimir Davydov1-9/+3
memcg_can_account_kmem() returns true iff !mem_cgroup_disabled() && !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) && memcg_kmem_is_active(memcg); To begin with the !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) check is useless, because one can't enable kmem accounting for the root cgroup (mem_cgroup_write() returns EINVAL on an attempt to set the limit on the root cgroup). Furthermore, the !mem_cgroup_disabled() check also seems to be redundant. The point is memcg_can_account_kmem() is called from three places: mem_cgroup_salbinfo_read(), __memcg_kmem_get_cache(), and __memcg_kmem_newpage_charge(). The latter two functions are only invoked if memcg_kmem_enabled() returns true, which implies that the memory cgroup subsystem is enabled. And mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() shows the output of memory.kmem.slabinfo, which won't exist if the memory cgroup is completely disabled. So let's substitute all the calls to memcg_can_account_kmem() with plain memcg_kmem_is_active(), and kill the former.

2014-10-10mm: memcontrol: fix transparent huge page allocations under pressureJohannes Weiner2-55/+21
In a memcg with even just moderate cache pressure, success rates for transparent huge page allocations drop to zero, wasting a lot of effort that the allocator puts into assembling these pages. The reason for this is that the memcg reclaim code was never designed for higher-order charges. It reclaims in small batches until there is room for at least one page. Huge page charges only succeed when these batches add up over a series of huge faults, which is unlikely under any significant load involving order-0 allocations in the group. Remove that loop on the memcg side in favor of passing the actual reclaim goal to direct reclaim, which is already set up and optimized to meet higher-order goals efficiently. This brings memcg's THP policy in line with the system policy: if the allocator painstakingly assembles a hugepage, memcg will at least make an honest effort to charge it. As a result, transparent hugepage allocation rates amid cache activity are drastically improved: vanilla patched pgalloc 4717530.80 ( +0.00%) 4451376.40 ( -5.64%) pgfault 491370.60 ( +0.00%) 225477.40 ( -54.11%) pgmajfault 2.00 ( +0.00%) 1.80 ( -6.67%) thp_fault_alloc 0.00 ( +0.00%) 531.60 (+100.00%) thp_fault_fallback 749.00 ( +0.00%) 217.40 ( -70.88%) [ Note: this may in turn increase memory consumption from internal fragmentation, which is an inherent risk of transparent hugepages. Some setups may have to adjust the memcg limits accordingly to accomodate this - or, if the machine is already packed to capacity, disable the transparent huge page feature. ] Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2014-10-10mm: memcontrol: simplify detecting when the memory+swap limit is hitJohannes Weiner1-34/+13
When attempting to charge pages, we first charge the memory counter and then the memory+swap counter. If one of the counters is at its limit, we enter reclaim, but if it's the memory+swap counter, reclaim shouldn't swap because that wouldn't change the situation. However, if the counters have the same limits, we never get to the memory+swap limit. To know whether reclaim should swap or not, there is a state flag that indicates whether the limits are equal and whether hitting the memory limit implies hitting the memory+swap limit. Just try the memory+swap counter first.

2014-10-10mm: memcontrol: do not kill uncharge batching in free_pages_and_swap_cacheMichal Hocko2-21/+23
free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks. This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills memcg uncharge batching which reduces res_counter spin_lock contention. Dave has noticed this with his page fault scalability test case on a large machine when the lock was basically dominating on all CPUs: 80.18% 80.18% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock | --- _raw_spin_lock | |--66.59%-- res_counter_uncharge_until | res_counter_uncharge | uncharge_batch | uncharge_list | mem_cgroup_uncharge_list | release_pages | free_pages_and_swap_cache | tlb_flush_mmu_free | | | |--90.12%-- unmap_single_vma | | unmap_vmas | | unmap_region | | do_munmap | | vm_munmap | | sys_munmap | | system_call_fastpath | | __GI___munmap | | | --9.88%-- tlb_flush_mmu | tlb_finish_mmu | unmap_region | do_munmap | vm_munmap | sys_munmap | system_call_fastpath | __GI___munmap In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been handled by reverting 05b843012335 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains inside dedicated memcgs. There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other than lru_lock held times. This logic, however, can be moved inside the function. mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them in a single run. The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages). However this code has no usage of pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) pages. This means that the lock acquisition frequency is approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled. The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache(). Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.
