2017-01-25mm, page_alloc: fix premature OOM when racing with cpuset mems updateVlastimil Babka1-11/+24
Ganapatrao Kulkarni reported that the LTP test cpuset01 in stress mode triggers OOM killer in few seconds, despite lots of free memory. The test attempts to repeatedly fault in memory in one process in a cpuset, while changing allowed nodes of the cpuset between 0 and 1 in another process. The problem comes from insufficient protection against cpuset changes, which can cause get_page_from_freelist() to consider all zones as non-eligible due to nodemask and/or current->mems_allowed. This was masked in the past by sufficient retries, but since commit 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we fix the preferred_zoneref once, and don't iterate over the whole zonelist in further attempts, thus the only eligible zones might be placed in the zonelist before our starting point and we always miss them. A previous patch fixed this problem for current->mems_allowed. However, cpuset changes also update the task's mempolicy nodemask. The fix has two parts. We have to repeat the preferred_zoneref search when we detect cpuset update by way of seqcount, and we have to check the seqcount before considering OOM.

2017-01-25mm, page_alloc: move cpuset seqcount checking to slowpathVlastimil Babka1-21/+26
This is a preparation for the following patch to make review simpler. While the primary motivation is a bug fix, this also simplifies the fast path, although the moved code is only enabled when cpusets are in use.

2017-01-25mm, page_alloc: fix fast-path race with cpuset update or removalVlastimil Babka1-1/+9
Ganapatrao Kulkarni reported that the LTP test cpuset01 in stress mode triggers OOM killer in few seconds, despite lots of free memory. The test attempts to repeatedly fault in memory in one process in a cpuset, while changing allowed nodes of the cpuset between 0 and 1 in another process. One possible cause is that in the fast path we find the preferred zoneref according to current mems_allowed, so that it points to the middle of the zonelist, skipping e.g. zones of node 1 completely. If the mems_allowed is updated to contain only node 1, we never reach it in the zonelist, and trigger OOM before checking the cpuset_mems_cookie. This patch fixes the particular case by redoing the preferred zoneref search if we switch back to the original nodemask. The condition is also slightly changed so that when the last non-root cpuset is removed, we don't miss it. Note that this is not a full fix, and more patches will follow.

2017-01-25mm, page_alloc: fix check for NULL preferred_zoneVlastimil Babka1-1/+1
Patch series "fix premature OOM regression in 4.7+ due to cpuset races". This is v2 of my attempt to fix the recent report based on LTP cpuset stress test [1]. The intention is to go to stable 4.9 LTSS with this, as triggering repeated OOMs is not nice. That's why the patches try to be not too intrusive. Unfortunately why investigating I found that modifying the testcase to use per-VMA policies instead of per-task policies will bring the OOM's back, but that seems to be much older and harder to fix problem. I have posted a RFC [2] but I believe that fixing the recent regressions has a higher priority. Longer-term we might try to think how to fix the cpuset mess in a better and less error prone way. I was for example very surprised to learn, that cpuset updates change not only task->mems_allowed, but also nodemask of mempolicies. Until now I expected the parameter to alloc_pages_nodemask() to be stable. I wonder why do we then treat cpusets specially in get_page_from_freelist() and distinguish HARDWALL etc, when there's unconditional intersection between mempolicy and cpuset. I would expect the nodemask adjustment for saving overhead in g_p_f(), but that clearly doesn't happen in the current form. So we have both crazy complexity and overhead, AFAICS.

We check the zoneref pointer which is never NULL and we should check the zone pointer. Also document this in first_zones_zonelist() comment per Michal Hocko.

2017-01-25mm/mempolicy.c: do not put mempolicy before using its nodemaskVlastimil Babka1-1/+1
Since commit be97a41b291e ("mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to alloc_pages_vma") alloc_pages_vma() can potentially free a mempolicy by mpol_cond_put() before accessing the embedded nodemask by __alloc_pages_nodemask(). The commit log says it's so "we can use a single exit path within the function" but that's clearly wrong. We can still do that when doing mpol_cond_put() after the allocation attempt. Make sure the mempolicy is not freed prematurely, otherwise __alloc_pages_nodemask() can end up using a bogus nodemask, which could lead e.g. to premature OOM.

2017-01-25mm/slub.c: trace free objects at KERN_INFODaniel Thompson1-10/+13
Currently when trace is enabled (e.g. slub_debug=T,kmalloc-128 ) the trace messages are mostly output at KERN_INFO. However the trace code also calls print_section() to hexdump the head of a free object. This is hard coded to use KERN_ERR, meaning the console is deluged with trace messages even if we've asked for quiet. Fix this the obvious way but adding a level parameter to print_section(), allowing calls from the trace code to use the same trace level as other trace messages.

2017-01-25mm/huge_memory.c: respect FOLL_FORCE/FOLL_COW for thpKeno Fischer1-1/+17
In commit 19be0eaffa3a ("mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()"), the mm code was changed from unsetting FOLL_WRITE after a COW was resolved to setting the (newly introduced) FOLL_COW instead. Simultaneously, the check in gup.c was updated to still allow writes with FOLL_FORCE set if FOLL_COW had also been set. However, a similar check in huge_memory.c was forgotten. As a result, remote memory writes to ro regions of memory backed by transparent huge pages cause an infinite loop in the kernel (handle_mm_fault sets FOLL_COW and returns 0 causing a retry, but follow_trans_huge_pmd bails out immidiately because `(flags & FOLL_WRITE) && !pmd_write(*pmd)` is true. While in this state the process is stil SIGKILLable, but little else works (e.g. no ptrace attach, no other signals). This is easily reproduced with the following code (assuming thp are set to always): #include <assert.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #define TEST_SIZE 5 * 1024 * 1024 int main(void) { int status; pid_t child; int fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR); void *addr = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); assert(addr != MAP_FAILED); pid_t parent_pid = getpid(); if ((child = fork()) == 0) { void *addr2 = mmap(NULL, TEST_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); assert(addr2 != MAP_FAILED); memset(addr2, 'a', TEST_SIZE); pwrite(fd, addr2, TEST_SIZE, (uintptr_t)addr); return 0; } assert(child == waitpid(child, &status, 0)); assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0); return 0; } Fix this by updating follow_trans_huge_pmd in huge_memory.c analogously to the update in gup.c in the original commit. The same pattern exists in follow_devmap_pmd. However, we should not be able to reach that check with FOLL_COW set, so add WARN_ONCE to make sure we notice if we ever do.

2017-01-25memory_hotplug: make zone_can_shift() return a boolean valueYasuaki Ishimatsu1-11/+17
online_{kernel|movable} is used to change the memory zone to ZONE_{NORMAL|MOVABLE} and online the memory. To check that memory zone can be changed, zone_can_shift() is used. Currently the function returns minus integer value, plus integer value and 0. When the function returns minus or plus integer value, it means that the memory zone can be changed to ZONE_{NORNAL|MOVABLE}. But when the function returns 0, there are two meanings. One of the meanings is that the memory zone does not need to be changed. For example, when memory is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_kernel the memory zone does not need to be changed. Another meaning is that the memory zone cannot be changed. When memory is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_movable, the memory zone may not be changed to ZONE_MOVALBE due to memory online limitation(see Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt). In this case, memory must not be onlined. The patch changes the return type of zone_can_shift() so that memory online operation fails when memory zone cannot be changed as follows: Before applying patch: # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo Node 2, zone Normal <snip> node_scanned 0 spanned 8388608 present 7864320 managed 7864320 # echo online_movable > memory4097/state # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo Node 2, zone Normal <snip> node_scanned 0 spanned 8388608 present 8388608 managed 8388608 online_movable operation succeeded. But memory is onlined as ZONE_NORMAL, not ZONE_MOVABLE. After applying patch: # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo Node 2, zone Normal <snip> node_scanned 0 spanned 8388608 present 7864320 managed 7864320 # echo online_movable > memory4097/state bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo Node 2, zone Normal <snip> node_scanned 0 spanned 8388608 present 7864320 managed 7864320 online_movable operation failed because of failure of changing the memory zone from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE Fixes: df429ac03936 ("memory-hotplug: more general validation of zone during online") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2f9c3837-33d7-b6e5-59c0-6ca4372b2d84@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Reza Arbab <arbab@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-01-11mm/hugetlb.c: fix reservation race when freeing surplus pagesMike Kravetz1-9/+28
return_unused_surplus_pages() decrements the global reservation count, and frees any unused surplus pages that were backing the reservation. Commit 7848a4bf51b3 ("mm/hugetlb.c: add cond_resched_lock() in return_unused_surplus_pages()") added a call to cond_resched_lock in the loop freeing the pages. As a result, the hugetlb_lock could be dropped, and someone else could use the pages that will be freed in subsequent iterations of the loop. This could result in inconsistent global hugetlb page state, application api failures (such as mmap) failures or application crashes. When dropping the lock in return_unused_surplus_pages, make sure that the global reservation count (resv_huge_pages) remains sufficiently large to prevent someone else from claiming pages about to be freed.

IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing. Unfortunately, zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7. It aims for increasing cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for compressing. Downside of that approach is that zram should ask memory space for compressed page in per-cpu context which requires stricted gfp flag which could be failed. If so, it retries to allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it could get memory this time and compress the data again, copies it to the memory space. In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed but it is not true unless stable page supports. So, If the data is changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining so system goes crash like above. I think below is same problem. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574 Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if we found it needs stable page. Although it increases memory footprint temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug it happened. Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion, which is critial path for application latency.

2017-01-11mm: rename __alloc_page_frag to page_frag_alloc and __free_page_frag to ↵Alexander Duyck1-5/+5
page_frag_free Patch series "Page fragment updates", v4. This patch series takes care of a few cleanups for the page fragments API. First we do some renames so that things are much more consistent. First we move the page_frag_ portion of the name to the front of the functions names. Secondly we split out the cache specific functions from the other page fragment functions by adding the word "cache" to the name. Finally I added a bit of documentation that will hopefully help to explain some of this. I plan to revisit this later as we get things more ironed out in the near future with the changes planned for the DMA setup to support eXpress Data Path. This patch (of 3): This patch renames the page frag functions to be more consistent with other APIs. Specifically we place the name page_frag first in the name and then have either an alloc or free call name that we append as the suffix. This makes it a bit clearer in terms of naming. In addition we drop the leading double underscores since we are technically no longer a backing interface and instead the front end that is called from the networking APIs.

Further debugging has shown that the reclaim cannot make any forward progress because the page cache is hidden in the active list which doesn't get rotated because inactive_list_is_low is not memcg aware. The code simply subtracts per-zone highmem counters from the respective memcg's lru sizes which doesn't make any sense. We can simply end up always seeing the resulting active and inactive counts 0 and return false. This issue is not limited to 32b kernels but in practice the effect on systems without CONFIG_HIGHMEM would be much harder to notice because we do not invoke the OOM killer for allocations requests targeting < ZONE_NORMAL. Fix the issue by tracking per zone lru page counts in mem_cgroup_per_node and subtract per-memcg highmem counts when memcg is enabled. Introduce helper lruvec_zone_lru_size which redirects to either zone counters or mem_cgroup_get_zone_lru_size when appropriate. We are losing empty LRU but non-zero lru size detection introduced by ca707239e8a7 ("mm: update_lru_size warn and reset bad lru_size") because of the inherent zone vs. node discrepancy.

2017-01-11mm: don't dereference struct page fields of invalid pagesArd Biesheuvel1-3/+3
The VM_BUG_ON() check in move_freepages() checks whether the node id of a page matches the node id of its zone. However, it does this before having checked whether the struct page pointer refers to a valid struct page to begin with. This is guaranteed in most cases, but may not be the case if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=y. So reorder the VM_BUG_ON() with the pfn_valid_within() check.

2017-01-11mm: pmd dirty emulation in page fault handlerMinchan Kim1-2/+4
Andreas reported [1] made a test in jemalloc hang in THP mode in arm64: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/mvmmvfy37g1.fsf@hawking.suse.de The problem is currently page fault handler doesn't supports dirty bit emulation of pmd for non-HW dirty-bit architecture so that application stucks until VM marked the pmd dirty. How the emulation work depends on the architecture. In case of arm64, when it set up pte firstly, it sets pte PTE_RDONLY to get a chance to mark the pte dirty via triggering page fault when store access happens. Once the page fault occurs, VM marks the pmd dirty and arch code for setting pmd will clear PTE_RDONLY for application to proceed. IOW, if VM doesn't mark the pmd dirty, application hangs forever by repeated fault(i.e., store op but the pmd is PTE_RDONLY). This patch enables pmd dirty-bit emulation for those architectures.

2017-01-11mm: fix remote numa hits statisticsMichal Hocko1-11/+4
Jia He has noticed that commit b9f00e147f27 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce branches in zone_statistics") has an unintentional side effect that remote node allocation requests are accounted as NUMA_MISS rathat than NUMA_HIT and NUMA_OTHER if such a request doesn't use __GFP_OTHER_NODE. There are many of these potentially because the flag is used very rarely while we have many users of __alloc_pages_node. Fix this by simply ignoring __GFP_OTHER_NODE (it can be removed in a follow up patch) and treat all allocations that were satisfied from the preferred zone's node as NUMA_HITS because this is the same node we requested the allocation from in most cases. If this is not the local node then we just account it as NUMA_OTHER rather than NUMA_LOCAL. One downsize would be that an allocation request for a node which is outside of the mempolicy nodemask would be reported as a hit which is a bit weird but that was the case before b9f00e147f27 already.

2017-01-11dax: wrprotect pmd_t in dax_mapping_entry_mkcleanRoss Zwisler1-2/+2
Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation. This can result in data loss in the following sequence: 1) mmap write to DAX PMD, dirtying PMD radix tree entry and making the pmd_t dirty and writeable 2) fsync, flushing out PMD data and cleaning the radix tree entry. We currently fail to mark the pmd_t as clean and write protected. 3) more mmap writes to the PMD. These don't cause any page faults since the pmd_t is dirty and writeable. The radix tree entry remains clean. 4) fsync, which fails to flush the dirty PMD data because the radix tree entry was clean. 5) crash - dirty data that should have been fsync'd as part of 4) could still have been in the processor cache, and is lost. Fix this by marking the pmd_t clean and write protected in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean(), which is called as part of the fsync operation 2). This will cause the writes in step 3) above to generate page faults where we'll re-dirty the PMD radix tree entry, resulting in flushes in the fsync that happens in step 4).

2017-01-11dax: fix deadlock with DAX 4k holesRoss Zwisler1-1/+1
Currently in DAX if we have three read faults on the same hole address we can end up with the following: Thread 0 Thread 1 Thread 2 -------- -------- -------- dax_iomap_fault grab_mapping_entry lock_slot <locks empty DAX entry> dax_iomap_fault grab_mapping_entry get_unlocked_mapping_entry <sleeps on empty DAX entry> dax_iomap_fault grab_mapping_entry get_unlocked_mapping_entry <sleeps on empty DAX entry> dax_load_hole find_or_create_page ... page_cache_tree_insert dax_wake_mapping_entry_waiter <wakes one sleeper> __radix_tree_replace <swaps empty DAX entry with 4k zero page> <wakes> get_page lock_page ... put_locked_mapping_entry unlock_page put_page <sleeps forever on the DAX wait queue> The crux of the problem is that once we insert a 4k zero page, all locking from then on is done in terms of that 4k zero page and any additional threads sleeping on the empty DAX entry will never be woken. Fix this by waking all sleepers when we replace the DAX radix tree entry with a 4k zero page. This will allow all sleeping threads to successfully transition from locking based on the DAX empty entry to locking on the 4k zero page. With the test case reported by Xiong this happens very regularly in my test setup, with some runs resulting in 9+ threads in this deadlocked state. With this fix I've been able to run that same test dozens of times in a loop without issue.

Dave Jones managed to reproduce the issue with a debug patch applied, which confirmed that the radix tree shrinking indeed frees shadow nodes while they are still linked to the shadow LRU: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 53 at lib/radix-tree.c:643 delete_node+0x1e4/0x200 CPU: 2 PID: 53 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc2-think+ #3 Call Trace: delete_node+0x1e4/0x200 __radix_tree_delete_node+0xd/0x10 shadow_lru_isolate+0xe6/0x220 __list_lru_walk_one.isra.4+0x9b/0x190 list_lru_walk_one+0x23/0x30 scan_shadow_nodes+0x2e/0x40 shrink_slab.part.44+0x23d/0x5d0 shrink_node+0x22c/0x330 kswapd+0x392/0x8f0 This is the WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&node->private_list)) placed in the inlined radix_tree_shrink(). The problem is with 14b468791fa9 ("mm: workingset: move shadow entry tracking to radix tree exceptional tracking"), which passes an update callback into the radix tree to link and unlink shadow leaf nodes when tree entries change, but forgot to pass the callback when reclaiming a shadow node. While the reclaimed shadow node itself is unlinked by the shrinker, its deletion from the tree can cause the left-most leaf node in the tree to be shrunk. If that happens to be a shadow node as well, we don't unlink it from the LRU as we should. Consider this tree, where the s are shadow entries: root->rnode | [0 n] | | [s ] [sssss] Now the shadow node shrinker reclaims the rightmost leaf node through the shadow node LRU: root->rnode | [0 ] | [s ] Because the parent of the deleted node is the first level below the root and has only one child in the left-most slot, the intermediate level is shrunk and the node containing the single shadow is put in its place: root->rnode | [s ] The shrinker again sees a single left-most slot in a first level node and thus decides to store the shadow in root->rnode directly and free the node - which is a leaf node on the shadow node LRU. root->rnode | s Without the update callback, the freed node remains on the shadow LRU, where it causes later shrinker runs to crash. Pass the node updater callback into __radix_tree_delete_node() in case the deletion causes the left-most branch in the tree to collapse too. Also add warnings when linked nodes are freed right away, rather than wait for the use-after-free when the list is scanned much later.

2017-01-08mm: stop leaking PageTablesHugh Dickins1-27/+20
4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with "fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows PageTables growing. Commit 953c66c2b22a ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable after do_fault_around() has called map_pages(). This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault(). Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing). And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?

2016-12-29mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page()Linus Torvalds1-5/+31
In commit 62906027091f ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot. However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit" sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be, because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that just got updated atomically. On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd. The atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed, not the value of an unrelated bit. On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use "xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other bits), and look at the other bits of the result. However, an even simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state of the unrelated bit #7. So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too. And architectures with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too. This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids the costly stall at page unlock time. The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit. Nick doesn't love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit. So this introduces the new architecture primitive clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte(); and adds the trivial implementation for x86. We have a generic non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)" combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do better. According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for example, but some other architectures may not even care. All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad. Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test". After this, it's down to 0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be. (The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed by Nick's earlier commit).

2016-12-27mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriateJan Kara1-14/+61
Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last one. Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and wire them up into the corresponding mm functions.

2016-12-25mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bitNicholas Piggin3-35/+150
Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active which requires another cacheline load. This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page), and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra wakeup check that will clears the bit. The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages. Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency). This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by 2-3%. Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory operand widths match and cover both bits).

2016-12-20mm: fadvise: avoid expensive remote LRU cache draining after FADV_DONTNEEDJohannes Weiner1-1/+14
When FADV_DONTNEED cannot drop all pages in the range, it observes that some pages might still be on per-cpu LRU caches after recent instantiation and so initiates remote calls to all CPUs to flush their local caches. However, in most cases, the fadvise happens from the same context that instantiated the pages, and any pre-LRU pages in the specified range are most likely sitting on the local CPU's LRU cache, and so in many cases this results in unnecessary remote calls, which, in a loaded system, can hold up the fadvise() call significantly. [ I didn't record it in the extreme case we observed at Facebook, unfortunately. We had a slow-to-respond system and noticed it lru_add_drain_all() leading the profile during fadvise calls. This patch came out of thinking about the code and how we commonly call FADV_DONTNEED. FWIW, I wrote a silly directory tree walker/searcher that recurses through /usr to read and FADV_DONTNEED each file it finds. On a 2 socket 40 ht machine, over 1% is spent in lru_add_drain_all(). With the patch, that cost is gone; the local drain cost shows at 0.09%. ] Try to avoid the remote call by flushing the local LRU cache before even attempting to invalidate anything. It's a cheap operation, and the local LRU cache is the most likely to hold any pre-LRU pages in the specified fadvise range.

2016-12-15radix-tree: delete radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged()Matthew Wilcox1-10/+18
This is an exceptionally complicated function with just one caller (tag_pages_for_writeback). We devote a large portion of the runtime of the test suite to testing this one function which has one caller. By introducing the new function radix_tree_iter_tag_set(), we can eliminate all of the complexity while keeping the performance. The caller can now use a fairly standard radix_tree_for_each() loop, and it doesn't need to worry about tricksy things like 'start' wrapping. The test suite continues to spend a large amount of time investigating this function, but now it's testing the underlying primitives such as radix_tree_iter_resume() and the radix_tree_for_each_tagged() iterator which are also used by other parts of the kernel.

2016-12-15radix-tree: improve multiorder iteratorsMatthew Wilcox2-7/+6
This fixes several interlinked problems with the iterators in the presence of multiorder entries. 1. radix_tree_iter_next() would only advance by one slot, which would result in the iterators returning the same entry more than once if there were sibling entries. 2. radix_tree_next_slot() could return an internal pointer instead of a user pointer if a tagged multiorder entry was immediately followed by an entry of lower order. 3. radix_tree_next_slot() expanded to a lot more code than it used to when multiorder support was compiled in. And I wasn't comfortable with entry_to_node() being in a header file. Fixing radix_tree_iter_next() for the presence of sibling entries necessarily involves examining the contents of the radix tree, so we now need to pass 'slot' to radix_tree_iter_next(), and we need to change the calling convention so it is called *before* dropping the lock which protects the tree. Also rename it to radix_tree_iter_resume(), as some people thought it was necessary to call radix_tree_iter_next() each time around the loop. radix_tree_next_slot() becomes closer to how it looked before multiorder support was introduced. It only checks to see if the next entry in the chunk is a sibling entry or a pointer to a node; this should be rare enough that handling this case out of line is not a performance impact (and such impact is amortised by the fact that the entry we just processed was a multiorder entry). Also, radix_tree_next_slot() used to force a new chunk lookup for untagged entries, which is more expensive than the out of line sibling entry skipping.

Currently PTE gets updated in wp_pfn_shared() after dax_pfn_mkwrite() has released corresponding radix tree entry lock. When we want to writeprotect PTE on cache flush, we need PTE modification to happen under radix tree entry lock to ensure consistent updates of PTE and radix tree (standard faults use page lock to ensure this consistency). So move update of PTE bit into dax_pfn_mkwrite().

2016-12-15mm: change return values of finish_mkwrite_fault()Jan Kara1-4/+3
Currently finish_mkwrite_fault() returns 0 when PTE got changed before we acquired PTE lock and VM_FAULT_WRITE when we succeeded in modifying the PTE. This is somewhat confusing since 0 generally means success, it is also inconsistent with finish_fault() which returns 0 on success. Change finish_mkwrite_fault() to return 0 on success and VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when PTE changed. Practically, there should be no behavioral difference since we bail out from the fault the same way regardless whether we return 0, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, or VM_FAULT_WRITE. Also note that VM_FAULT_WRITE has no effect for shared mappings since the only two places that check it - KSM and GUP - care about private mappings only. Generally the meaning of VM_FAULT_WRITE for shared mappings is not well defined and we should probably clean that up.

Patch series "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches", v5. Patchset to clear dirty bits from radix tree of DAX inodes when caches for corresponding pfns have been flushed. In principle, these patches enable handlers to easily update PTEs and do other work necessary to finish the fault without duplicating the functionality present in the generic code. I'd like to thank Kirill and Ross for reviews of the series! This patch (of 20): To allow full handling of COW faults add memcg field to struct vm_fault and a return value of ->fault() handler meaning that COW fault is fully handled and memcg charge must not be canceled. This will allow us to remove knowledge about special DAX locking from the generic fault code.
