* mm/swap: add cache for swap slots allocationTim Chen2017-02-221-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock. Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap slots returned. This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with other slots in a cluster. We do not reuse the slots that are returned right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots. The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when searching for empty slots in cache. The swap free cache is protected by a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path. We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots fall below a low watermark threshold. We re-enable the cache agian when the slots available are above a high watermark.

* mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batchesTim Chen2017-02-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

* mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunksHuang, Ying2017-02-221-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address space will be used for each swap device. And in the common configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently. But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention reduction. The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on x86_64 architecture. One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

* mm/swap: add cluster lockHuang, Ying2017-02-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

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.

* | mm: workingset: move shadow entry tracking to radix tree exceptional trackingJohannes Weiner2016-12-121-33/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we track the shadow entries in the page cache in the upper bits of the radix_tree_node->count, behind the back of the radix tree implementation. Because the radix tree code has no awareness of them, we rely on random subtleties throughout the implementation (such as the node->count != 1 check in the shrinking code, which is meant to exclude multi-entry nodes but also happens to skip nodes with only one shadow entry, as that's accounted in the upper bits). This is error prone and has, in fact, caused the bug fixed in d3798ae8c6f3 ("mm: filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node"). To remove these subtleties, this patch moves shadow entry tracking from the upper bits of node->count to the existing counter for exceptional entries. node->count goes back to being a simple counter of valid entries in the tree node and can be shrunk to a single byte. This vastly simplifies the page cache code. All accounting happens natively inside the radix tree implementation, and maintaining the LRU linkage of shadow nodes is consolidated into a single function in the workingset code that is called for leaf nodes affected by a change in the page cache tree. This also removes the last user of the __radix_delete_node() return value. Eliminate it.

* Using BUG_ON() as an assert() is _never_ acceptableLinus Torvalds2016-10-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That just generally kills the machine, and makes debugging only much harder, since the traces may long be gone. Debugging by assert() is a disease. Don't do it. If you can continue, you're much better off doing so with a live machine where you have a much higher chance that the report actually makes it to the system logs, rather than result in a machine that is just completely dead.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(), and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement page. Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU. To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert(). This fixes the page accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked from the shadow node LRU again. Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

* mm: remove reclaim and compaction retry approximationsMel Gorman2016-07-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat statistics. This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference that inactive/active stats are still available. This preserves the history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on per-zone stats. Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in __alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit 03668b3ceb0c ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations"). The exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot fail. If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact. This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. This is not ideal but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives. The impact it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the OOM killer. As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained allocations. In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation. While it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES. The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages. As those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in highmem. This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone stats as it is sufficient. In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to be removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be node_reclaim. It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching all nodes traversed so far. The documentation and interface to userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also limited to lower zones.

As global page reclaim is based on the node, it is easy to imagine a situation where a zone soft limit is exceeded even though the memcg limit is fine. This patch moves the soft limit tree the node. Technically, all the variable names should also change but people are already familiar by the meaning of "mz" even if "mn" would be a more appropriate name now.

* mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to nodeMel Gorman2016-07-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

* mm, oom: rework oom detectionMichal Hocko2016-05-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry allocation rather than declaring OOM. shrink_zones had to rely on zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up. zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times and restart if a page is freed. This is really subtle behavior and it might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single page. OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any progress for unbounded amount of time. This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as OOM which is per zonelist property. It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic. The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called from __alloc_pages_slowpath. It tries to be more deterministic and easier to follow. It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at least for one zone in the usable zonelist. This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time or even depend on the current allocation context. Therefore there is a backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after each reclaim round without any progress. This means that we should eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the wmark check and proceed to OOM. The backoff is simple and linear with 1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress. We are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds. Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without __GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the requested order. The only difference is that if there was no progress during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check. This is more logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the whole THP physical range. Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called. Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice instead of just once. Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version. Mike Marciniszyn said: : Our RDMA tests are seeing an issue with memory locking that bisects to : commit 61f5d698cc97 ("mm: re-enable THP") : : The test program registers two rather large MRs (512M) and RDMA : writes data to a passive peer using the first and RDMA reads it back : into the second MR and compares that data.

Taking into account the fact that the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the user preference. - memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which looks unexpected. That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for cgroup2. This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number of swap entries used by a cgroup. It is only charged in the unified hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact. The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and limited using memory.swap.max. Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not just ->count, i.e. when all references to a swap entry, including the one taken by swap cache, are gone. This is necessary, because otherwise swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap cache and hence still occupies a swap entry. At the same time, this shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

* mm: move lazily freed pages to inactive listMinchan Kim2016-01-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MADV_FREE is a hint that it's okay to discard pages if there is memory pressure and we use reclaimers(ie, kswapd and direct reclaim) to free them so there is no value keeping them in the active anonymous LRU so this patch moves them to inactive LRU list's head. This means that MADV_FREE-ed pages which were living on the inactive list are reclaimed first because they are more likely to be cold rather than recently active pages. An arguable issue for the approach would be whether we should put the page to the head or tail of the inactive list. I chose head because the kernel cannot make sure it's really cold or warm for every MADV_FREE usecase but at least we know it's not *hot*, so landing of inactive head would be a comprimise for various usecases. This fixes suboptimal behavior of MADV_FREE when pages living on the active list will sit there for a long time even under memory pressure while the inactive list is reclaimed heavily. This basically breaks the whole purpose of using MADV_FREE to help the system to free memory which is might not be used.

It requires adjustment to conditions when we can reuse the page on write-protection fault. For PTE fault we can't reuse the page if it's part of huge page. For PMD we can only reuse the page if nobody else maps the huge page or it's part. We can do it by checking page_mapcount() on each sub-page, but it's expensive. The cheaper way is to check page_count() to be equal 1: every mapcount takes page reference, so this way we can guarantee, that the PMD is the only mapping. This approach can give false negative if somebody pinned the page, but that doesn't affect correctness. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

* mm: memcontrol: fix transparent huge page allocations under pressureJohannes Weiner2014-10-091-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a memcg with even just moderate cache pressure, success rates for transparent huge page allocations drop to zero, wasting a lot of effort that the allocator puts into assembling these pages. The reason for this is that the memcg reclaim code was never designed for higher-order charges. It reclaims in small batches until there is room for at least one page. Huge page charges only succeed when these batches add up over a series of huge faults, which is unlikely under any significant load involving order-0 allocations in the group. Remove that loop on the memcg side in favor of passing the actual reclaim goal to direct reclaim, which is already set up and optimized to meet higher-order goals efficiently. This brings memcg's THP policy in line with the system policy: if the allocator painstakingly assembles a hugepage, memcg will at least make an honest effort to charge it. As a result, transparent hugepage allocation rates amid cache activity are drastically improved: vanilla patched pgalloc 4717530.80 ( +0.00%) 4451376.40 ( -5.64%) pgfault 491370.60 ( +0.00%) 225477.40 ( -54.11%) pgmajfault 2.00 ( +0.00%) 1.80 ( -6.67%) thp_fault_alloc 0.00 ( +0.00%) 531.60 (+100.00%) thp_fault_fallback 749.00 ( +0.00%) 217.40 ( -70.88%) [ Note: this may in turn increase memory consumption from internal fragmentation, which is an inherent risk of transparent hugepages. Some setups may have to adjust the memcg limits accordingly to accomodate this - or, if the machine is already packed to capacity, disable the transparent huge page feature. ] Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary: - Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging. - Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged. - On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused, so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case. Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache(). But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore. For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred to the new page during migration. mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well, which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(). However, care needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a page under migration. Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward. Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry before the final put_page() in page reclaim. Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock, whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock. Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references. Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

Worse, uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so requires a lot of synchronization. Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(), commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like what's currently done for swap-in: mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming pages from the memcg if necessary. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type. mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction. This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to drastically simplify uncharging. As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU additions again.

Its callers better know what they're doing, in which case the page would not be already marked referenced. Kill init_page_accessed(), just __SetPageReferenced() inline.

* mm/vmscan.c: use DIV_ROUND_UP for calculation of zone's balance_gap and ↵Jianyu Zhan2014-06-041-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | correct comments. Currently, we use (zone->managed_pages + KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO-1) / KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO to avoid a zero gap value. It's better to use DIV_ROUND_UP macro for neater code and clear meaning. Besides, the gap value is calculated against the per-zone "managed pages", not "present pages". This patch also corrects the comment and do some rephrasing.

* mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where ↵Mel Gorman2014-06-041-0/+1

Once the page is visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is visible. The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed() helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically. The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used by most filesystems. find_get_page find_lock_page find_or_create_page grab_cache_page_nowait grab_cache_page_write_begin All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core function. Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems have consistent behaviour in this regard. The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO" to not hit the disk. The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting. The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.

* swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_headDan Streetman2014-06-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.
