| * | mm/memory_hotplug: disable the functionality for 32bMichal Hocko2020-06-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memory hotlug is broken for 32b systems at least since c6f03e2903c9 ("mm, memory_hotplug: remove zone restrictions") which has considerably reworked how can be memory associated with movable/kernel zones. The same is not really trivial to achieve in 32b where only lowmem is the kernel zone. While we can tweak this immediate problem around there are likely other land mines hidden at other places. It is also quite dubious that there is a real usecase for the memory hotplug on 32b in the first place. Low memory is just too small to be hotplugable (for hot add) and generally unusable for hotremove. Adding more memory to highmem is also dubious because it would increase the low mem or vmalloc space pressure for memmaps. Restrict the functionality to 64b systems. This will help future development to focus on usecases that have real life application. We can remove this restriction in future in presence of a real life usecase of course but until then make it explicit that hotplug on 32b is broken and requires a non trivial amount of work to fix. Robin said: "32-bit Arm doesn't support memory hotplug, and as far as I'm aware there's little likelihood of it ever wanting to.

| * | mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()David Hildenbrand2020-06-041-4/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Interface to add driver-managed system ram", v4. kexec (via kexec_load()) can currently not properly handle memory added via dax/kmem, and will have similar issues with virtio-mem. kexec-tools will currently add all memory to the fixed-up initial firmware memmap. In case of dax/kmem, this means that - in contrast to a proper reboot - how that persistent memory will be used can no longer be configured by the kexec'd kernel. In case of virtio-mem it will be harmful, because that memory might contain inaccessible pieces that require coordination with hypervisor first. In both cases, we want to let the driver in the kexec'd kernel handle detecting and adding the memory, like during an ordinary reboot. Introduce add_memory_driver_managed(). More on the samentics are in patch #1. In the future, we might want to make this behavior configurable for dax/kmem- either by configuring it in the kernel (which would then also allow to configure kexec_file_load()) or in kexec-tools by also adding "System RAM (kmem)" memory from /proc/iomem to the fixed-up initial firmware memmap. More on the motivation can be found in [1] and [2]. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200429160803.109056-1-david@redhat.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200430102908.10107-1-david@redhat.com This patch (of 3): Some device drivers rely on memory they managed to not get added to the initial (firmware) memmap as system RAM - so it's not used as initial system RAM by the kernel and the driver is under control. While this is the case during cold boot and after a reboot, kexec is not aware of that and might add such memory to the initial (firmware) memmap of the kexec kernel. We need ways to teach kernel and userspace that this system ram is different. For example, dax/kmem allows to decide at runtime if persistent memory is to be used as system ram. Another future user is virtio-mem, which has to coordinate with its hypervisor to deal with inaccessible parts within memory resources. We want to let users in the kernel (esp. kexec) but also user space (esp. kexec-tools) know that this memory has different semantics and needs to be handled differently: 1. Don't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/ 2. Name the memory resource "System RAM ($DRIVER)" (exposed via /proc/iomem) ($DRIVER might be "kmem", "virtio_mem"). 3. Flag the memory resource IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED /sys/firmware/memmap/ [1] represents the "raw firmware-provided memory map" because "on most architectures that firmware-provided memory map is modified afterwards by the kernel itself". The primary user is kexec on x86-64. Since commit d96ae5309165 ("memory-hotplug: create /sys/firmware/memmap entry for new memory"), we add all hotplugged memory to that firmware memmap - which makes perfect sense for traditional memory hotplug on x86-64, where real HW will also add hotplugged DIMMs to the firmware memmap. We replicate what the "raw firmware-provided memory map" looks like after hot(un)plug. To keep things simple, let the user provide the full resource name instead of only the driver name - this way, we don't have to manually allocate/craft strings for memory resources. Also use the resource name to make decisions, to avoid passing additional flags. In case the name isn't "System RAM", it's special. We don't have to worry about firmware_map_remove() on the removal path. If there is no entry, it will simply return with -EINVAL. We'll adapt dax/kmem in a follow-up patch.

The only archs that care about memblocks for hotplugged memory (either for iterating over all system RAM or testing for memory validity) are arm64, s390x, and powerpc - due to CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. Without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, we can simply stop messing with memblocks.

| * | mm/memory_hotplug: set node_start_pfn of hotadded pgdat to 0David Hildenbrand2020-06-041-9/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v1. A hotadded node/pgdat will span no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() -> resize_pgdat_range - e.g., when onlining memory blocks. We don't have to initialize the node_start_pfn to the memory we are adding. This patch (of 2): Especially, there is an inconsistency: - Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node with cpus: node_start_pf == 0 - Offlining and removing last memory from a node: node_start_pfn == 0 - Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node without cpus: node_start_pfn != 0 As soon as memory is onlined, node_start_pfn is overwritten with the actual start. E.g., when adding two DIMMs but only onlining one of both, only that DIMM (with online memory blocks) is spanned by the node. Currently, the validity of node_start_pfn really is linked to node_spanned_pages != 0. With node_spanned_pages == 0 (e.g., before onlining memory), it has no meaning. So let's stop setting node_start_pfn, just to be overwritten via move_pfn_range_to_zone(). This avoids confusion when looking at the code, wondering which magic will be performed with the node_start_pfn in this function, when hotadding a pgdat.

This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing page table helpers or addition of new ones. This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page and validating them. Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called via late_initcall(). This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected. Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64, x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers. Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

And there has been few report caught by it, as described in its commit log: : This shouldn't happen any more - the previous two patches fixed : the committed_as underflow issues. But it was really found by Qian Cai when he used the LTP memory stress suite to test a RFC patchset, which tries to improve scalability of per-cpu counter 'vm_committed_as', by chosing a bigger 'batch' number for loose overcommit policies (OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS), while keeping current number for OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. With that patchset, when system firstly uses a loose policy, the 'vm_committed_as' count could be a big negative value, as its big 'batch' number allows a big deviation, then when the policy is changed to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER, the 'batch' will be decreased to a much smaller value, thus hits this WARN check. To mitigate this, one proposed solution is to queue work on all online CPUs to do a local sync for 'vm_committed_as' when changing policy to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER, plus some global syncing to garante the case won't be hit. But this solution is costy and slow, given this check hasn't shown real trouble or benefit, simply drop it from one hot path of MM. And perf stats does show some tiny saving for removing it.

Firstly it is inherently unsafe to access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page returned). Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not return 0 when nr_pages > 0 unless FOLL_NOWAIT is specified which is not the case here.

Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of the lists need to adjust.

| * | mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO costJohannes Weiner2020-06-034-8/+15

It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

| * | mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim rootJohannes Weiner2020-06-032-29/+44

With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

In most cases that tips page reclaim towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively used pages, but there are a few problems with it: 1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU. 2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations, the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim. Since commit a528910e12ec ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events, they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is too small for its workingset and needs to grow. For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list. Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off. Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

The others get deactivated. When it comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing memory. Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

The reason why this is undesirable is that such operations are not part of the regular page aging cycle, and rather a fluke that doesn't say much about the remaining pages on that list; they might all be in heavy use, and once the chunk of easy victims has been purged, the VM continues to apply elevated pressure on those remaining hot pages. The other LRU, meanwhile, might have easily reclaimable pages, and there was never a need to steer away from it in the first place. As the previous patch outlined, we should focus on recording actually observed cost to steer the balance rather than speculating about the potential value of one LRU list over the other. In that spirit, leave explicitely deactivated pages to the LRU algorithm to pick up, and let rotations decide which list is the easiest to reclaim.

| * | mm: base LRU balancing on an explicit cost modelJohannes Weiner2020-06-033-45/+36

That concept of value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to the head of the list. There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm. Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice, i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine, but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once. The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify. This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete, actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head. Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of recently evicted pages. Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost() function.

Since e9868505987a ("mm,vmscan: only evict file pages when we have plenty"), page reclaim generally skips over swap-backed memory entirely as long as there is used-once cache present, and will apply the LRU balancing when only repeatedly accessed cache pages are left - at which point the previous use-once bias will have been neutralized. This makes the use-once cache balancing bias unnecessary.

This allows new pages with competitive access frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially displace pages on the active list that have gone cold. However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active cache in a competition for the hottest memory. This is not a great default assumption. The page cache might be thrashing while there are enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache. Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages. Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs depending on the IO situation. Rotational drives will prefer avoiding random IO from swap and go harder after cache. But fundamentally, hot cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM.
