* wait: use EXIT_TRACE only if thread_group_leader(zombie)Oleg Nesterov2014-04-071-10/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if ptrace_reparented(). This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task(). Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.

* wait: introduce EXIT_TRACE to avoid the racy EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE transitionOleg Nesterov2014-04-072-29/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and drops tasklist_lock. If this task is not the natural child and it is traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent. The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d257486a "ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race". wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear ->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE. And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else. So the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable. This was fixed by the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack. 1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural parent. This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still reports "X (dead)" in this case. Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix. 2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD if we need to notify the ->real_parent. 3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task. 4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case. If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list. Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error, we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace" even if the task was already untraced.

* exec: kill bprm->tcomm[], simplify the "basename" logicOleg Nesterov2014-04-074-22/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting from commit c4ad8f98bef7 ("execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing") bprm->filename can not go away after flush_old_exec(), so we do not need to save the binary name in bprm->tcomm[] added by 96e02d158678 ("exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec()"). And there was never need for filename_to_taskname-like code, we can simply do set_task_comm(kbasename(filename). This patch has to change set_task_comm() and trace_task_rename() to accept "const char *", but I think this change is also good.

* kernel/exit.c: call proc_exit_connector() after exit_state is setGuillaume Morin2014-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The process events connector delivers a notification when a process exits. This is really convenient for a process that spawns and wants to monitor its children through an epoll-able() interface. Unfortunately, there is a small window between when the event is delivered and the child become wait()-able. This is creates a race if the parent wants to make sure that it knows about the exit, e.g pid_t pid = fork(); if (pid > 0) { register_interest_for_pid(pid); if (waitpid(pid, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0) { /* We might have raced with exit() */ } return; } /* Child */ execve(...) register_interest_for_pid() would be telling the the connector socket reader to pay attention to events related to pid. Though this is not a bug, I think it would make the connector a bit more usable if this race was closed by simply moving the call to proc_exit_connector() from just before exit_notify() to right after. Oleg said: : Even with this patch the code above is still "racy" if the child is : multi-threaded. Plus it should obviously filter-out subthreads. And : afaics there is no way to make it reliable, even if you change the code : above so that waitpid() is called only after the last thread exits WNOHANG : still can fail.

* mm/zswap: support multiple swap devicesMinchan Kim2014-04-071-31/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cai Liu reporeted that now zbud pool pages counting has a problem when multiple swap is used because it just counts only one swap intead of all of swap so zswap cannot control writeback properly. The result is unnecessary writeback or no writeback when we should really writeback. IOW, it made zswap crazy. Another problem in zswap is: For example, let's assume we use two swap A and B with different priority and A already has charged 19% long time ago and let's assume that A swap is full now so VM start to use B so that B has charged 1% recently. It menas zswap charged (19% + 1%) is full by default. Then, if VM want to swap out more pages into B, zbud_reclaim_page would be evict one of pages in B's pool and it would be repeated continuously. It's totally LRU reverse problem and swap thrashing in B would happen. This patch makes zswap consider mutliple swap by creating *a* zbud pool which will be shared by multiple swap so all of zswap pages in multiple swap keep order by LRU so it can prevent above two problems.

* zram: support REQ_DISCARDJoonsoo Kim2014-04-071-0/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zram is ram based block device and can be used by backend of filesystem. When filesystem deletes a file, it normally doesn't do anything on data block of that file. It just marks on metadata of that file. This behavior has no problem on disk based block device, but has problems on ram based block device, since we can't free memory used for data block. To overcome this disadvantage, there is REQ_DISCARD functionality. If block device support REQ_DISCARD and filesystem is mounted with discard option, filesystem sends REQ_DISCARD to block device whenever some data blocks are discarded. All we have to do is to handle this request. This patch implements to flag up QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD and handle this REQ_DISCARD request. With it, we can free memory used by zram if it isn't used.

* zram: add set_max_streams knobSergey Senozhatsky2014-04-073-3/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows to change max_comp_streams on initialised zcomp. Introduce zcomp set_max_streams() knob, zcomp_strm_multi_set_max_streams() and zcomp_strm_single_set_max_streams() callbacks to change streams limit for zcomp_strm_multi and zcomp_strm_single, accordingly. set_max_streams for single steam zcomp does nothing. If user has lowered the limit, then zcomp_strm_multi_set_max_streams() attempts to immediately free extra streams (as much as it can, depending on idle streams availability). Note, this patch does not allow to change stream 'policy' from single to multi stream (or vice versa) on already initialised compression backend.

* zram: add multi stream functionalitySergey Senozhatsky2014-04-076-11/+201
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Existing zram (zcomp) implementation has only one compression stream (buffer and algorithm private part), so in order to prevent data corruption only one write (compress operation) can use this compression stream, forcing all concurrent write operations to wait for stream lock to be released. This patch changes zcomp to keep a compression streams list of user-defined size (via sysfs device attr). Each write operation still exclusively holds compression stream, the difference is that we can have N write operations (depending on size of streams list) executing in parallel. See TEST section later in commit message for performance data. Introduce struct zcomp_strm_multi and a set of functions to manage zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_multi has a list of idle zcomp_strm structs, spinlock to protect idle list and wait queue, making it possible to perform parallel compressions. The following set of functions added: - zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release() find and release a compression stream, implement required locking - zcomp_strm_multi_create()/zcomp_strm_multi_destroy() create and destroy zcomp_strm_multi zcomp ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks are set during initialisation to zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release() correspondingly. Each time zcomp issues a zcomp_strm_multi_find() call, the following set of operations performed: - spin lock strm_lock - if idle list is not empty, remove zcomp_strm from idle list, spin unlock and return zcomp stream pointer to caller - if idle list is empty, current adds itself to wait queue. it will be awaken by zcomp_strm_multi_release() caller. zcomp_strm_multi_release(): - spin lock strm_lock - add zcomp stream to idle list - spin unlock, wake up sleeper Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case, comparing to mutex-based (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16) base spinlock mutex ==Initial write ==Initial write ==Initial write records: 5 records: 5 records: 5 avg: 1642424.35 avg: 699610.40 avg: 1655583.71 std: 39890.95(2.43%) std: 232014.19(33.16%) std: 52293.96 max: 1690170.94 max: 1163473.45 max: 1697164.75 min: 1568669.52 min: 573429.88 min: 1553410.23 ==Rewrite ==Rewrite ==Rewrite records: 5 records: 5 records: 5 avg: 1611775.39 avg: 501406.64 avg: 1684419.11 std: 17144.58(1.06%) std: 15354.41(3.06%) std: 18367.42 max: 1641800.95 max: 531356.78 max: 1706445.84 min: 1593515.27 min: 488817.78 min: 1655335.73 When only one compression stream available, mutex with spin on owner tends to perform much better than frequent wait_event()/wake_up(). This is why single stream implemented as a special case with mutex locking. Introduce and document zram device attribute max_comp_streams. This attr shows and stores current zcomp's max number of zcomp streams (max_strm). Extend zcomp's zcomp_create() with `max_strm' parameter. `max_strm' limits the number of zcomp_strm structs in compression backend's idle list (max_comp_streams). max_comp_streams used during initialisation as follows: -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm equals to 1 will initialise zcomp using single compression stream zcomp_strm_single (mutex-based locking). -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm greater than 1 will initialise zcomp using multi compression stream zcomp_strm_multi (spinlock-based locking). default max_comp_streams value is 1, meaning that zram with single stream will be initialised. Later patch will introduce configuration knob to change max_comp_streams on already initialised and used zcomp.

* zram: factor out single stream compressionSergey Senozhatsky2014-04-072-10/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is preparation patch to add multi stream support to zcomp. Introduce struct zcomp_strm_single and a set of functions to manage zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_single implements single compession stream, same way as current zcomp implementation. This moves zcomp_strm stream control and locking from zcomp, so compressing backend zcomp is not aware of required locking. Single and multi streams require different locking schemes. Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme (which is used in multi stream implementation) has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case, comparing to mutex-based. see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16 The following set of functions added: - zcomp_strm_single_find()/zcomp_strm_single_release() find and release a compression stream, implement required locking - zcomp_strm_single_create()/zcomp_strm_single_destroy() create and destroy zcomp_strm_single New ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks added to zcomp, which are set to zcomp_strm_single_find() and zcomp_strm_single_release() during initialisation. Instead of direct locking and zcomp_strm access from zcomp_strm_find() and zcomp_strm_release(), zcomp now calls ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() correspondingly.

* zram: introduce compressing backend abstractionSergey Senozhatsky2014-04-074-0/+237
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ZRAM performs direct LZO compression algorithm calls, making it the one and only option. While LZO is generally performs well, LZ4 algorithm tends to have a faster decompression (see http://code.google.com/p/lz4/ for full report) Name Ratio C.speed D.speed MB/s MB/s LZ4 (r101) 2.084 422 1820 LZO 2.06 2.106 414 600 Thus, users who have mostly read (decompress) usage scenarious or mixed workflow (writes with relatively high read ops number) will benefit from using LZ4 compression backend. Introduce compressing backend abstraction zcomp in order to support multiple compression algorithms with the following set of operations: .create .destroy .compress .decompress Schematically zram write() usually contains the following steps: 0) preparation (decompression of partioal IO, etc.) 1) lock buffer_lock mutex (protects meta compress buffers) 2) compress (using meta compress buffers) 3) alloc and map zs_pool object 4) copy compressed data (from meta compress buffers) to object allocated by 3) 5) free previous pool page, assign a new one 6) unlock buffer_lock mutex As we can see, compressing buffers must remain untouched from 1) to 4), because, otherwise, concurrent write() can overwrite data. At the same time, zram_meta must be aware of a) specific compression algorithm memory requirements and b) necessary locking to protect compression buffers. To remove requirement a) new struct zcomp_strm introduced, which contains a compress/decompress `buffer' and compression algorithm `private' part. While struct zcomp implements zcomp_strm stream handling and locking and removes requirement b) from zram meta. zcomp ->create() and ->destroy(), respectively, allocate and deallocate algorithm specific zcomp_strm `private' part. Every zcomp has zcomp stream and mutex to protect its compression stream. Stream usage semantics remains the same -- only one write can hold stream lock and use its buffers. zcomp_strm_find() turns caller into exclusive user of a stream (holding stream mutex until zram release stream), and zcomp_strm_release() makes zcomp stream available (unlock the stream mutex). Hence no concurrent write (compression) operations possible at the moment. iozone -t 3 -R -r 16K -s 60M -I +Z test base patched -------------------------------------------------- Initial write 597992.91 591660.58 Rewrite 609674.34 616054.97 Read 2404771.75 2452909.12 Re-read 2459216.81 2470074.44 Reverse Read 1652769.66 1589128.66 Stride read 2202441.81 2202173.31 Random read 2236311.47 2276565.31 Mixed workload 1423760.41 1709760.06 Random write 579584.08 615933.86 Pwrite 597550.02 594933.70 Pread 1703672.53 1718126.72 Fwrite 1330497.06 1461054.00 Fread 3922851.00 3957242.62 Usage examples: comp = zcomp_create(NAME) /* NAME e.g. "lzo" */ which initialises compressing backend if requested algorithm is supported.

* mm/page_alloc.c: change mm debug routines back to EXPORT_SYMBOLJohn Hubbard2014-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call get_page() and a few other routines. This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL. Longer explanation: Prior to commit 309381feaee5 ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL) drivers on Fedora. Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG. Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(), via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page(). As one of the authors of NVIDIA's new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c, because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use by non-GPL, driver code. So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be too controversial. We did check with Fedora first, and they responded (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change. Their reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

However LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH itself can be 0. (when LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS is set). In such a case LAST_CPUPID_MASK turns out to be 0. But with recent commit 1ae71d0319: (mm: numa: bugfix for LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS) if LAST_CPUPID_MASK is 0, page_cpupid_xchg_last() and page_cpupid_reset_last() causes page->_last_cpupid to be set to 0. This causes performance regression. Its almost as if numa_balancing is off. Fix LAST_CPUPID_MASK by using LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT instead of LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH.

* mm: hugetlb: fix softlockup when a large number of hugepages are freed.Mizuma, Masayoshi2014-04-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I decrease the value of nr_hugepage in procfs a lot, softlockup happens. It is because there is no chance of context switch during this process. On the other hand, when I allocate a large number of hugepages, there is some chance of context switch. Hence softlockup doesn't happen during this process. So it's necessary to add the context switch in the freeing process as same as allocating process to avoid softlockup. When I freed 12 TB hugapages with kernel-2.6.32-358.el6, the freeing process occupied a CPU over 150 seconds and following softlockup message appeared twice or more. $ echo 6000000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages $ cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 6000000 $ grep ^Huge /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 6000000 HugePages_Free: 6000000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB $ echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages BUG: soft lockup - CPU#16 stuck for 67s!

However I confirmed that the amount of decreasing hugepages was directly proportional to the amount of required time. I measured required times on a smaller machine. It showed 130-145 hugepages decreased in a millisecond. Amount of decreasing Required time Decreasing rate hugepages (msec) (pages/msec) ------------------------------------------------------------ 10,000 pages == 20GB 70 - 74 135-142 30,000 pages == 60GB 208 - 229 131-144 It means decrement of 6TB hugepages will trigger softlockup with the default threshold 20sec, in this decreasing rate.

* mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlockingVlastimil Babka2014-04-072-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked). The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration, which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that effect. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page != check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable memory design.

* mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapdJohannes Weiner2014-04-072-44/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes. This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") and fff4068cba48 ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy"). Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones, including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now, the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely. Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds. This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up. However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the delta as the latter filters negative counter values.
