2015-07-01mm: meminit: remove mminit_verify_page_linksMel Gorman1-8/+0
mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked. Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was spent on checking this for every page. The cost could be reduced but in practice this check only found problems very early during the initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since. This patch removes an expensive unnecessary check.

2015-07-01mm: meminit: initialise remaining struct pages in parallel with kswapdMel Gorman1-0/+1
Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel. This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and initialising data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is initialised in the kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other user-visibile effects.

2014-01-28mm: bring back /sys/kernel/mmHugh Dickins1-1/+1
Commit da29bd36224b ("mm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcall") changed to pure_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). That's too early: mm_sysfs_init() depends on core_initcall(ksysfs_init) to have made the kernel_kobj directory "kernel" in which to create "mm". Make it postcore_initcall(mm_sysfs_init). We could use core_initcall(), and depend upon Makefile link order kernel/ mm/ fs/ ipc/ security/ ... as core_initcall(debugfs_init) and core_initcall(securityfs_init) do; but better not.

2014-01-24mm/mm_init.c: make creation of the mm_kobj happen earlier than device_initcallPaul Gortmaker1-2/+1
The use of __initcall is to be eventually replaced by choosing one from the prioritized groupings laid out in init.h header: pure_initcall 0 core_initcall 1 postcore_initcall 2 arch_initcall 3 subsys_initcall 4 fs_initcall 5 device_initcall 6 late_initcall 7 In the interim, all __initcall are mapped onto device_initcall, which as can be seen above, comes quite late in the ordering. Currently the mm_kobj is created with __initcall in mm_sysfs_init(). This means that any other initcalls that want to reference the mm_kobj have to be device_initcall (or later), otherwise we will for example, trip the BUG_ON(!kobj) in sysfs's internal_create_group(). This unfairly restricts those users; for example something that clearly makes sense to be an arch_initcall will not be able to choose that. However, upon examination, it is only this way for historical reasons (i.e. simply not reprioritized yet). We see that sysfs is ready quite earlier in init/main.c via: vfs_caches_init |_ mnt_init |_ sysfs_init well ahead of the processing of the prioritized calls listed above. So we can recategorize mm_sysfs_init to be a pure_initcall, which in turn allows any mm_kobj initcall users a wider range (1 --> 7) of initcall priorities to choose from.

2013-10-09mm: numa: Change page last {nid,pid} into {cpu,pid}Peter Zijlstra1-9/+9
Change the per page last fault tracking to use cpu,pid instead of nid,pid. This will allow us to try and lookup the alternate task more easily. Note that even though it is the cpu that is store in the page flags that the mpol_misplaced decision is still based on the node.

2013-10-09sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faultsMel Gorman1-9/+9
Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that are private to a task and those that are shared. 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.

2013-07-04mm: tune vm_committed_as percpu_counter batching sizeTim Chen1-0/+47
Currently the per cpu counter's batch size for memory accounting is configured as twice the number of cpus in the system. However, for system with very large memory, it is more appropriate to make it proportional to the memory size per cpu in the system. For example, for a x86_64 system with 64 cpus and 128 GB of memory, the batch size is only 2*64 pages (0.5 MB). So any memory accounting changes of more than 0.5MB will overflow the per cpu counter into the global counter. Instead, for the new scheme, the batch size is configured to be 0.4% of the memory/cpu = 8MB (128 GB/64 /256), which is more inline with the memory size. I've done a repeated brk test of 800KB (from will-it-scale test suite) with 80 concurrent processes on a 4 socket Westmere machine with a total of 40 cores. Without the patch, about 80% of cpu is spent on spin-lock contention within the vm_committed_as counter. With the patch, there's a 73x speedup on the benchmark and the lock contention drops off almost entirely.

Answering the question "how much space remains in the page->flags" is time-consuming. mminit_loglevel can help answer the question but it does not take last_nid information into account.

2008-07-24mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisationMel Gorman1-0/+18
Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.
