Currently each page struct is set as reserved upon initialization. This
patch leaves the reserved bit clear and only sets the reserved bit when it
is known the memory was allocated by the bootmem allocator. This makes it
easier to distinguish between uninitialised struct pages and reserved
struct pages in later patches.

Currently, memmap_init_zone() has all the smarts for initializing a single
page. A subset of this is required for parallel page initialisation and
so this patch breaks up the monolithic function in preparation.

Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used. This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.
After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine
[ 7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
[ 7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
[ 7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
[ 7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
On a 1TB machine, I see
[ 8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
[ 8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
[ 8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
[ 8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again. In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.
Nate Zimmer said:
: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as
: measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484
: seconds to exactly 1000 seconds.
Waiman Long said:
: I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system. From
: grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s
: after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%).
Daniel Blueman said:
: On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing
: stock 4.0 boot in 7136s. This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with
: this patchset. Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350)
: drops this to 1045s.
This patch (of 13):
As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.
This helper function will be used for that expansion.

This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit
4066c33d0308f8 and also reverts the portions that introduced the
KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation
is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number.
The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86
configuration under KVM using either SLAB or SLUB.
Fixes: 4066c33d0308f8 ("support the slub_debug boot option")

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
clock "monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
even faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
deal with trace events.
Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
confusion with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically,
"ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
tracing and also helps with live kernel patching. But the trace
events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
trace events should not be named "ftrace". These include:
include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h
include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h
Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*()
(un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event()
ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name()
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -> trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call()
ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call()
Structures have been renamed:
ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file
ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class}
ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer
ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir
ftrace_event_raw_##call -> trace_event_raw_##call
ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call
ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call
And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly
because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
external to that"

Remove zpool_evict() helper function. As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.
Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function. However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page. This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

Since commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.
This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.
The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g. MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes. However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.
In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does. If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations. The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.
The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.

transhuge-stress: 2.962 s/loop, 0.372 ms/page, 5376.172 MiB/s 7962 succeed, 0 failed, 3873 different pages
Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".
After the patch:

One of the rocksdb people noticed that when you do something like this
fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, 0, 10M)
pwrite(fd, buf, 5M, 0)
ftruncate(5M)
on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun
issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be
getting ENOSPC. This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the
other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF).
I tested it locally to make sure it worked properly with the following
xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 10M" -c "pwrite 0 5M" -c "truncate 5M" file
Without the patch we have "Blocks: 20480", with the patch we have the
correct value of "Blocks: 10240".

The cause is the last region was missed at the and of hot add memory,
and p_start, p_end, node_start were not reset, so when hot add memory to
a new node, it will consider they are not contiguous blocks and print
the previous one. So we print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot
add memory to avoid the confusion.

The kmemleak memory scanning uses finer grained object->lock spinlocks
primarily to avoid races with the memory block freeing. However, the
pointer lookup in the rb tree requires the kmemleak_lock to be held.
This is currently done in the find_and_get_object() function for each
pointer-like location read during scanning. While this allows a low
latency on kmemleak_*() callbacks on other CPUs, the memory scanning is
slower.
This patch moves the kmemleak_lock outside the scan_block() loop,
acquiring/releasing it only once per scanned memory block. The
allow_resched logic is moved outside scan_block() and a new
scan_large_block() function is implemented which splits large blocks in
MAX_SCAN_SIZE chunks with cond_resched() calls in-between. A redundant
(object->flags & OBJECT_NO_SCAN) check is also removed from
scan_object().
With this patch, the kmemleak scanning performance is significantly
improved: at least 50% with lock debugging disabled and over an order of
magnitude with lock proving enabled (on an arm64 system).

While very unlikely (usually kmemleak or sl*b bug), the create_object()
function in mm/kmemleak.c may fail to insert a newly allocated object into
the rb tree. When this happens, kmemleak disables itself and prints
additional information about the object already found in the rb tree.
Such printing is done with the parent->lock acquired, however the
kmemleak_lock is already held. This is a potential race with the scanning
thread which acquires object->lock and kmemleak_lock in a
This patch removes the locking around the 'parent' object information
printing. Such object cannot be freed or removed from object_tree_root
and object_list since kmemleak_lock is already held. There is a very
small risk that some of the object data is being modified on another CPU
but the only downside is inconsistent information printing.

Calling delete_object_*() on the same pointer is not a standard use case
(unless there is a bug in the code calling kmemleak_free()). However,
during kmemleak disabling (error or user triggered via /sys), there is a
potential race between kmemleak_free() calls on a CPU and
__kmemleak_do_cleanup() on a different CPU.
The current delete_object_*() implementation first performs a look-up
holding kmemleak_lock, increments the object->use_count and then
re-acquires kmemleak_lock to remove the object from object_tree_root and
object_list.
This patch simplifies the delete_object_*() mechanism to both look up
and remove an object from the object_tree_root and object_list
atomically (guarded by kmemleak_lock). This allows safe concurrent
calls to delete_object_*() on the same pointer without additional
locking for synchronising the kmemleak_free_enabled flag.
A side effect is a slight improvement in the delete_object_*() performance
by avoiding acquiring kmemleak_lock twice and incrementing/decrementing
object->use_count.

The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes. Callbacks like
kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care
of by the object->lock spinlock. Such lock also prevents a memory block
from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the
kmemleak_free() -> ... -> __delete_object() function until the lock is
released in scan_object().
When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g. it fails to allocate its metadata),
kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on
freed objects. If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time,
kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete,
allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the
case of vfree()). This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a
page fault.
This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the
overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the
object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed. The
kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is
only called during boot before the scanning thread started.

memcg->under_oom tracks whether the memcg is under OOM conditions and is
an atomic_t counter managed with mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom(). While
atomic_t appears to be simple synchronization-wise, when used as a
synchronization construct like here, it's trickier and more error-prone
due to weak memory ordering rules, especially around atomic_read(), and
false sense of security.
For example, both non-trivial read sites of memcg->under_oom are a bit
problematic although not being actually broken.
* mem_cgroup_oom_register_event()
It isn't explicit what guarantees the memory ordering between event
addition and memcg->under_oom check. This isn't broken only because
memcg_oom_lock is used for both event list and memcg->oom_lock.
* memcg_oom_recover()
The lockless test doesn't have any explanation why this would be
safe.
mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom() are very cold paths and there's no point
in avoiding locking memcg_oom_lock there. This patch converts
memcg->under_oom from atomic_t to int, puts their modifications under
memcg_oom_lock and documents why the lockless test in
memcg_oom_recover() is safe.

Change frontswap single pointer to a singly linked list of frontswap
implementations. Update Xen tmem implementation as register no longer
returns anything.
Frontswap only keeps track of a single implementation; any
implementation that registers second (or later) will replace the
previously registered implementation, and gets a pointer to the previous
implementation that the new implementation is expected to pass all
frontswap functions to if it can't handle the function itself. However
that method doesn't really make much sense, as passing that work on to
every implementation adds unnecessary work to implementations; instead,
frontswap should simply keep a list of all registered implementations
and try each implementation for any function. Most importantly, neither
of the two currently existing frontswap implementations in the kernel
actually do anything with any previous frontswap implementation that
they replace when registering.
This allows frontswap to successfully manage multiple implementations by
keeping a list of them all.

Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
memory.
If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.
By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures. 64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ... or about 1.5% of total
system memory. For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
allocated to the kernel.

based on attribute
Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).
But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.
Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.
Gen1: All memory is mirrored
Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
mirror
Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications
Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
Pro: Keep more of the capacity
Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance
Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
controller
Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
Con: I have to write memory management code to implement
The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:
1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
allocations
2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
page_alloc.c is scary).
This patch (of 3):
Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
attribute. No functional changes

page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and
__ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling
add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the
direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic.
This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

Before the pages are actually added to the reserve map, these routines
could race and add fewer pages than expected. If this happens, the
subpool and global reserve counts are not correct.

While working on hugetlbfs fallocate support, I noticed the following race
in the existing code. It is unlikely that this race is hit very often in
the current code. However, if more functionality to add and remove pages
to hugetlbfs mappings (such as fallocate) is added the likelihood of
hitting this race will increase.
alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use information from the reserve
map to determine if there are enough available huge pages to complete the
operation, as well as adjust global reserve and subpool usage counts. The
order of operations is as follows:
- call region_chg() to determine the expected change based on reserve map
- determine if enough resources are available for this operation
- adjust global counts based on the expected change
- call region_add() to update the reserve map
The issue is that reserve map could change between the call to region_chg
and region_add. In this case, the counters which were adjusted based on
the output of region_chg will not be correct.
In order to hit this race today, there must be an existing shared hugetlb
mmap created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. A page fault to allocate a huge
page via this mapping must occur at the same another task is mapping the
same region without the MAP_NORESERVE flag.
The patch set does not prevent the race from happening. Rather, it adds
simple functionality to detect when the race has occurred. If a race is
detected, then the incorrect counts are adjusted.
Review comments pointed out the need for documentation of the existing
region/reserve map routines. This patch set also adds documentation in
this area.
This patch (of 3):
This is a documentation only patch and does not modify any code.
Descriptions of the routines used for reserve map/region tracking are

Architectures like ppc64 [1] need to do special things while clearing pmd
before a collapse. For them this operation is largely different from a
normal hugepage pte clear. Hence add a separate function to clear pmd
before collapse. After this patch pmdp_* functions operate only on
hugepage pte, and not on regular pmd_t values pointing to page table.
[1] ppc64 needs to invalidate all the normal page pte mappings we already
have inserted in the hardware hash page table. But before doing that we
need to make sure there are no parallel hash page table insert going on.
So we need to do a kick_all_cpus_sync() before flushing the older hash
table entries. By moving this to a separate function we capture these
details and mention how it is different from a hugepage pte clear.
This patch is a cleanup and only does code movement for clarity. There
should not be any change in functionality.

receive mce error event, but no memory recovery result event. So, I want
to add this event to make this scenario complete.
This patch add a event at ras group for memory-failure.
The output like below:
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 2/2 #P:24

Historically memcg overhead was high even if memcg was unused. This has
improved a lot but it still showed up in a profile summary as being a
problem.
/usr/src/linux-4.0-vanilla/mm/memcontrol.c 6.6441 395842

try_charge 0.150% 8928
commit_charge 0.141% 8388
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm 0.121% 7184
That is showing that 6.64% of system CPU cycles were in memcontrol.c and
dominated by mem_cgroup_try_charge. The annotation shows that the bulk
of the cost was checking PageSwapCache which is expected to be cache hot
but is very expensive. The problem appears to be that __SetPageUptodate
is called just before the check which is a write barrier. It is
required to make sure struct page and page data is written before the
PTE is updated and the data visible to userspace. memcg charging does
not require or need the barrier but gets unfairly hit with the cost so
this patch attempts the charging before the barrier. Aside from the
accidental cost to memcg there is the added benefit that the barrier is
avoided if the page cannot be charged. When applied the relevant
profile summary is as follows.
/usr/src/linux-4.0-chargefirst-v2r1/mm/memcontrol.c 3.7907 223277
__mem_cgroup_count_vm_event 1.143% 67312

mem_cgroup_charge_statistics.isra.22 0.185% 10920
commit_charge 0.140% 8235
try_charge 0.131% 7716
That brings the overhead down to 3.79% and leaves the memcg fault
accounting to the root cgroup but it's an improvement. The difference
in headline performance of the page fault microbench is marginal as
memcg is such a small component of it.

hugetlb pages uses add_to_page_cache to track shared mappings. This is
OK from the data structure point of view but it is less so from the
NR_FILE_PAGES accounting:
- huge pages are accounted as 4k which is clearly wrong
- this counter is used as the amount of the reclaimable page
cache which is incorrect as well because hugetlb pages are
special and not reclaimable
- the counter is then exported to userspace via /proc/meminfo
(in Cached:), /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo as
nr_file_pages which is confusing at least:
Cached: 8883504 kB
HugePages_Free: 8348
...
Cached: 8916048 kB
HugePages_Free: 156
...
thats 8192 huge pages allocated which is ~16G accounted as 32M
There are usually not that many huge pages in the system for this to
make any visible difference e.g. by fooling __vm_enough_memory or
zone_pagecache_reclaimable.
Fix this by special casing huge pages in both __delete_from_page_cache
and __add_to_page_cache_locked. replace_page_cache_page is currently
only used by fuse and that shouldn't touch hugetlb pages AFAICS but it
is more robust to check for special casing there as well.
Hugetlb pages shouldn't get to any other paths where we do accounting:
- migration - we have a special handling via
hugetlbfs_migrate_page
- shmem - doesn't handle hugetlb pages directly even for
SHM_HUGETLB resp. MAP_HUGETLB
- swapcache - hugetlb is not swapable
This has a user visible effect but I believe it is reasonable because the
previously exported number is simply bogus.
An alternative would be to account hugetlb pages with their real size and
treat them similar to shmem. But this has some drawbacks.
First we would have to special case in kernel users of NR_FILE_PAGES and
considering how hugetlb is special we would have to do it everywhere. We
do not want Cached exported by /proc/meminfo to include it because the
value would be even more misleading.
__vm_enough_memory and zone_pagecache_reclaimable would have to do the
same thing because those pages are simply not reclaimable. The correction
is even not trivial because we would have to consider all active hugetlb
page sizes properly. Users of the counter outside of the kernel would
have to do the same.
So the question is why to account something that needs to be basically
excluded for each reasonable usage. This doesn't make much sense to me.
It seems that this has been broken since hugetlb was introduced but I
haven't checked the whole history.

The should_alloc_retry() function was meant to encapsulate retry
conditions of the allocator slowpath, but there are still checks
remaining in the main function, and much of how the retrying is
performed also depends on the OOM killer progress. The physical
separation of those conditions make the code hard to follow.
Inline the should_alloc_retry() checks. Notes:
- The __GFP_NOFAIL check is already done in __alloc_pages_may_oom(),
replace it with looping on OOM killer progress
- The pm_suspended_storage() check is meant to skip the OOM killer
when reclaim has no IO available, move to __alloc_pages_may_oom()
- The order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY order is re-united with its original
counterpart of checking whether reclaim actually made any progress

The zonelist locking and the oom_sem are two overlapping locks that are
used to serialize global OOM killing against different things.
The historical zonelist locking serializes OOM kills from allocations with
overlapping zonelists against each other to prevent killing more tasks
than necessary in the same memory domain. Only when neither tasklists nor
zonelists from two concurrent OOM kills overlap (tasks in separate memcgs
bound to separate nodes) are OOM kills allowed to execute in parallel.
The younger oom_sem is a read-write lock to serialize OOM killing against
the PM code trying to disable the OOM killer altogether.
However, the OOM killer is a fairly cold error path, there is really no
reason to optimize for highly performant and concurrent OOM kills. And
the oom_sem is just flat-out redundant.
Replace both locking schemes with a single global mutex serializing OOM
kills regardless of context.

Disabling the OOM killer needs to exclude allocators from entering, not
existing victims from exiting.
Right now the only waiter is suspend code, which achieves quiescence by
disabling the OOM killer. But later on we want to add waits that hold
the lock instead to stop new victims from showing up.

It turns out that the mechanism to wait for exiting OOM victims is less
generic than it looks: it won't issue wakeups unless the OOM killer is
disabled.
The reason this check was added was the thought that, since only the OOM
disabling code would wait on this queue, wakeup operations could be
saved when that specific consumer is known to be absent.
However, this is quite the handgrenade. Later attempts to reuse the
waitqueue for other purposes will lead to completely unexpected bugs and
the failure mode will appear seemingly illogical. Generally, providers
shouldn't make unnecessary assumptions about consumers.
This could have been replaced with waitqueue_active(), but it only saves
a few instructions in one of the coldest paths in the kernel. Simply
remove it.
