* mm, vmalloc: fix vmalloc users tracking properlyMichal Hocko2017-05-121-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1f5307b1e094 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails with In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:145:0, from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:4, from include/linux/vmalloc.h:9, from arch/m68k/kernel/module.c:9: arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h: In function 'nocache_page': >> arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h:339:43: error: 'init_mm' undeclared (first use in this function) #define pgd_offset_k(address) pgd_offset(&init_mm, address) as spotted by kernel build bot. nios2 fails for other reason In file included from include/asm-generic/io.h:767:0, from arch/nios2/include/asm/io.h:61, from include/linux/io.h:25, from arch/nios2/include/asm/pgtable.h:18, from include/linux/mm.h:70, from include/linux/pid_namespace.h:6, from include/linux/ptrace.h:9, from arch/nios2/include/uapi/asm/elf.h:23, from arch/nios2/include/asm/elf.h:22, from include/linux/elf.h:4, from include/linux/module.h:15, from init/main.c:16: include/linux/vmalloc.h: In function '__vmalloc_node_flags': include/linux/vmalloc.h:99:40: error: 'PAGE_KERNEL' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'GFP_KERNEL'? which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2 includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>. Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary. This patch reverts 1f5307b1e094 and reimplements the original fix in a different way. __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will cover vmalloc* functions. We only have one external user (kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and provide the caller directly. This is much simpler and it doesn't really need any games with header files.

* | mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitlyMichal Hocko2017-05-081-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying allocation. This API is quite popular $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l 77 The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily too complex. This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM are simplified and drop the flag.

* | mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc usersMichal Hocko2017-05-081-11/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by "mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given range belongs to vmalloc as a caller: 0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3 0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.

* | mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpersMichal Hocko2017-05-081-1/+8

There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc fallback is available. As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory subsystem proper. Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet was not opposed [2] to convert them as well. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com This patch (of 9): Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive user visible action. This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g. ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be fixed separately. While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there. kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die slowly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When vmalloc() fails it prints a very lengthy message with all the details about memory consumption assuming that it happened due to OOM. However, vmalloc() can also fail due to fatal signal pending. In such case the message is quite confusing because it suggests that it is OOM but the numbers suggest otherwise. The messages can also pollute console considerably. Don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to fatal signal pending.

* sched/headers: Move task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand types and ↵Ingo Molnar2017-03-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | accessors into <linux/sched/signal.h> task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand are pointers, which would normally make it straightforward to not define those types in sched.h. That is not so, because the types are accompanied by a myriad of APIs (macros and inline functions) that dereference them. Split the types and the APIs out of sched.h and move them into a new header, <linux/sched/signal.h>. With this change sched.h does not know about 'struct signal' and 'struct sighand' anymore, trying to put accessors into sched.h as a test fails the following way: ./include/linux/sched.h: In function ‘test_signal_types’: ./include/linux/sched.h:2461:18: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct signal_struct’ ^ This reduces the size and complexity of sched.h significantly. Update all headers and .c code that relied on getting the signal handling functionality from <linux/sched.h> to include <linux/sched/signal.h>. The list of affected files in the preparatory patch was partly generated by grepping for the APIs, and partly by doing coverage build testing, both all[yes|mod|def|no]config builds on 64-bit and 32-bit x86, and an array of cross-architecture builds. Nevertheless some (trivial) build breakage is still expected related to rare Kconfig combinations and in-flight patches to various kernel code, but most of it should be handled by this patch.

* mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed usersMichal Hocko2016-10-071-8/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc allocators. This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would appreciate a slightly different warning message. This is already handled by the fmt parameter except that "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)" is printed anyway. This might be quite misleading because it might be a vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is not the culprit here. Fix this by always using the fmt string and only print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g. order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context). Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch will reuse it also for !failure cases.

* mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator pathsVladimir Davydov2016-07-261-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

Reusing a vmap on an object is preferrable for a driver as the cost of setting up the vmap can otherwise dominate the operation on the object. However, the vmap address space is rather limited on 32bit systems and so we add a notification for vmap pressure in order for the driver to release any cached vmappings. The interface is styled after the oom-notifier where the callees are passed a pointer to an unsigned long counter for them to indicate if they have freed any space. v2: Guard the blocking notifier call with gfpflags_allow_blocking() v3: Correct typo in forward declaration and move to head of file Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Roman Peniaev <r.peniaev@gmail.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> # for inclusion via DRM Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1459777603-23618-3-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com>

I tend to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the interface. And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff? This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations.

* mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman2015-11-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

* mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfoLinus Torvalds2015-11-011-47/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that at least some versions of glibc end up reading /proc/meminfo at every single startup, because glibc wants to know the amount of memory the machine has. And while that's arguably insane, it's just how things are. And it turns out that it's not all that expensive most of the time, but the vmalloc information statistics (amount of virtual memory used in the vmalloc space, and the biggest remaining chunk) can be rather expensive to compute. The 'get_vmalloc_info()' function actually showed up on my profiles as 4% of the CPU usage of "make test" in the git source repository, because the git tests are lots of very short-lived shell-scripts etc. It turns out that apparently this same silly vmalloc info gathering shows up on the facebook servers too, according to Dave Jones. So it's not just "make test" for git. We had two patches to just cache the information (one by me, one by Ingo) to mitigate this issue, but the whole vmalloc information of of rather dubious value to begin with, and people who *actually* want to know what the situation is wrt the vmalloc area should just look at the much more complete /proc/vmallocinfo instead. In fact, according to my testing - and perhaps more importantly, according to that big search engine in the sky: Google - there is nothing out there that actually cares about those two expensive fields: VmallocUsed and VmallocChunk. So let's try to just remove them entirely. Actually, this just removes the computation and reports the numbers as zero for now, just to try to be minimally intrusive. If this breaks anything, we'll obviously have to re-introduce the code to compute this all and add the caching patches on top. But if given the option, I'd really prefer to just remove this bad idea entirely rather than add even more code to work around our historical mistake that likely nobody really cares about.

* mm/vmalloc: get rid of dirty bitmap inside vmap_block structureRoman Pen2015-04-151-18/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In original implementation of vm_map_ram made by Nick Piggin there were two bitmaps: alloc_map and dirty_map. None of them were used as supposed to be: finding a suitable free hole for next allocation in block. vm_map_ram allocates space sequentially in block and on free call marks pages as dirty, so freed space can't be reused anymore. Actually it would be very interesting to know the real meaning of those bitmaps, maybe implementation was incomplete, etc. But long time ago Zhang Yanfei removed alloc_map by these two commits: mm/vmalloc.c: remove dead code in vb_alloc 3fcd76e8028e0be37b02a2002b4f56755daeda06 mm/vmalloc.c: remove alloc_map from vmap_block b8e748b6c32999f221ea4786557b8e7e6c4e4e7a In this patch I replaced dirty_map with two range variables: dirty min and max. These variables store minimum and maximum position of dirty space in a block, since we need only to know the dirty range, not exact position of dirty pages. Why it was made? Several reasons: at first glance it seems that vm_map_ram allocator concerns about fragmentation thus it uses bitmaps for finding free hole, but it is not true. To avoid complexity seems it is better to use something simple, like min or max range values. Secondly, code also becomes simpler, without iteration over bitmap, just comparing values in min and max macros. Thirdly, bitmap occupies up to 1024 bits (4MB is a max size of a block). Here I replaced the whole bitmap with two longs. Finally vm_unmap_aliases should be slightly faster and the whole vmap_block structure occupies less memory.

* mm/vmalloc: occupy newly allocated vmap block just after allocationRoman Pen2015-04-151-21/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous implementation allocates new vmap block and repeats search of a free block from the very beginning, iterating over the CPU free list. Why it can be better?? 1. Allocation can happen on one CPU, but search can be done on another CPU. In worst case we preallocate amount of vmap blocks which is equal to CPU number on the system. 2. In previous patch I added newly allocated block to the tail of free list to avoid soon exhaustion of virtual space and give a chance to occupy blocks which were allocated long time ago. Thus to find newly allocated block all the search sequence should be repeated, seems it is not efficient. In this patch newly allocated block is occupied right away, address of virtual space is returned to the caller, so there is no any need to repeat the search sequence, allocation job is done.

* mm/vmalloc: fix possible exhaustion of vmalloc space caused by vm_map_ram ↵Roman Pen2015-04-151-1/+1

Further investigation showed that certain mapping/unmapping sequences can exhaust vmalloc space. On small 32bit systems that's not a big problem, cause purging will be called soon on a first allocation failure (alloc_vmap_area), but on 64bit machines, e.g. x86_64 has 45 bits of vmalloc space, that can be a disaster. 1) I came up with a simple allocation sequence, which exhausts virtual space very quickly: while (iters) { /* Map/unmap big chunk */ vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16); /* Map/unmap small chunks. * * -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block * to keep it partially used, with some free space available */ for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8); } } The idea behind is simple: 1. We have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages. 2. Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller chunks, i.e. 8 pages. At the end small hole should remain to keep block in free list, but do not let big chunk to occupy remaining space. 3. Goto 1 - allocation request of 16 pages can't be completed (only 8 slots are left free in the block in the #2 step), new block will be allocated, all further requests will lay into newly allocated block. To have some measurement numbers for all further tests I setup ftrace and enabled 4 basic calls in a function profile: echo vm_map_ram > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; echo alloc_vmap_area >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; echo vm_unmap_ram >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; echo free_vmap_block >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter; So for this scenario I got these results: BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 126000 30683.30 us 0.243 us 30819.36 us vm_unmap_ram 126000 22003.24 us 0.174 us 340.886 us alloc_vmap_area 1000 4132.065 us 4.132 us 0.903 us AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 126000 28713.13 us 0.227 us 24944.70 us vm_unmap_ram 126000 20403.96 us 0.161 us 1429.872 us alloc_vmap_area 993 3916.795 us 3.944 us 29.370 us free_vmap_block 992 654.157 us 0.659 us 1.273 us SUMMARY: The most interesting numbers in those tables are numbers of block allocations and deallocations: alloc_vmap_area and free_vmap_block calls, which show that before the change blocks were not freed, and virtual space and physical memory (vmap_block structure allocations, etc) were consumed. Average time which were spent in vm_map_ram/vm_unmap_ram became slightly better. That can be explained with a reasonable amount of blocks in a free list, which we need to iterate to find a suitable free block. 2) Another scenario is a random allocation: while (iters) { /* Randomly take number from a range [1..32/64] */ nr = rand(1, VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, nr, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, nr); } I chose mersenne twister PRNG to generate persistent random state to guarantee that both runs have the same random sequence. For each vm_map_ram call random number from [1..32/64] was taken to represent amount of pages which I do map. I did 10'000 vm_map_ram calls and got these two tables: BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 10000 10170.01 us 1.017 us 993.609 us vm_unmap_ram 10000 5321.823 us 0.532 us 59.789 us alloc_vmap_area 420 2150.239 us 5.119 us 3.307 us free_vmap_block 37 159.587 us 4.313 us 134.344 us AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 10000 7745.637 us 0.774 us 395.229 us vm_unmap_ram 10000 5460.573 us 0.546 us 67.187 us alloc_vmap_area 414 2201.650 us 5.317 us 5.591 us free_vmap_block 412 574.421 us 1.394 us 15.138 us SUMMARY: 'BEFORE' table shows, that 420 blocks were allocated and only 37 were freed. Remained 383 blocks are still in a free list, consuming virtual space and physical memory. 'AFTER' table shows, that 414 blocks were allocated and 412 were really freed. 2 blocks remained in a free list. So fragmentation was dramatically reduced. Why? Because when we put newly allocated block to the head, all further requests will occupy new block, regardless remained space in other blocks. In this scenario all requests come randomly. Eventually remained free space will be less than requested size, free list will be iterated and it is possible that nothing will be found there - finally new block will be created. So exhaustion in random scenario happens for the maximum possible allocation size: 32 pages for 32-bit system and 64 pages for 64-bit system. Also average cost of vm_map_ram was reduced from 1.017 us to 0.774 us. Again this can be explained by iteration through smaller list of free blocks. 3) Next simple scenario is a sequential allocation, when the allocation order is increased for each block. This scenario forces allocator to reach maximum amount of partially free blocks in a free list: while (iters) { /* Populate free list with blocks with remaining space */ for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) { nr = VMAP_BBMAP_BITS / (1 << order); /* Leave a hole */ nr -= 1; for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order)); } /* Completely occupy blocks from a free list */ for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order)); } } Results which I got: BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 2032000 399545.2 us 0.196 us 467123.7 us vm_unmap_ram 2032000 363225.7 us 0.178 us 111405.9 us alloc_vmap_area 7001 30627.76 us 4.374 us 495.755 us free_vmap_block 6993 7011.685 us 1.002 us 159.090 us AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list) # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0 Function Hit Time Avg s^2 -------- --- ---- --- --- vm_map_ram 2032000 394259.7 us 0.194 us 589395.9 us vm_unmap_ram 2032000 292500.7 us 0.143 us 94181.08 us alloc_vmap_area 7000 31103.11 us 4.443 us 703.225 us free_vmap_block 7000 6750.844 us 0.964 us 119.112 us SUMMARY: No surprises here, almost all numbers are the same. Fixing this fragmentation problem I also did some improvements in a allocation logic of a new vmap block: occupy block immediately and get rid of extra search in a free list. Also I replaced dirty bitmap with min/max dirty range values to make the logic simpler and slightly faster, since two longs comparison costs less, than loop thru bitmap. This patchset raises several questions: Q: Think the problem you comments is already known so that I wrote comments about it as "it could consume lots of address space through fragmentation". Could you tell me about your situation and reason why it should be avoided? Gioh Kim A: Indeed, there was a commit 364376383 which adds explicit comment about fragmentation. But fragmentation which is described in this comment caused by mixing of long-lived and short-lived objects, when a whole block is pinned in memory because some page slots are still in use. But here I am talking about blocks which are free, nobody uses them, and allocator keeps them alive forever, continuously allocating new blocks. Q: I think that if you put newly allocated block to the tail of a free list, below example would results in enormous performance degradation. new block: 1MB (256 pages) while (iters--) { vm_map_ram(3 or something else not dividable for 256) * 85 vm_unmap_ram(3) * 85 } On every iteration, it needs newly allocated block and it is put to the tail of a free list so finding it consumes large amount of time. Joonsoo Kim A: Second patch in current patchset gets rid of extra search in a free list, so new block will be immediately occupied.. Also, the scenario above is impossible, cause vm_map_ram allocates virtual range in orders, i.e. 2^n. I.e. passing 3 to vm_map_ram you will allocate 4 slots in a block and 256 slots (capacity of a block) of course dividable on 4, so block will be completely occupied. But there is a worst case which we can achieve: each free block has a hole equal to order size. The maximum size of allocation is 64 pages for 64-bit system (if you try to map more, original alloc_vmap_area will be called). So the maximum order is 6. That means that worst case, before allocator makes a decision to allocate a new block, is to iterate 7 blocks: HEAD 1st block - has 1 page slot free (order 0) 2nd block - has 2 page slots free (order 1) 3rd block - has 4 page slots free (order 2) 4th block - has 8 page slots free (order 3) 5th block - has 16 page slots free (order 4) 6th block - has 32 page slots free (order 5) 7th block - has 64 page slots free (order 6) TAIL So the worst scenario on 64-bit system is that each CPU queue can have 7 blocks in a free list. This can happen only and only if you allocate blocks increasing the order. (as I did in the function written in the comment of the first patch) This is weird and rare case, but still it is possible. Afterwards you will get 7 blocks in a list. All further requests should be placed in a newly allocated block or some free slots should be found in a free list. Seems it does not look dramatically awful. This patch (of 3): If suitable block can't be found, new block is allocated and put into a head of a free list, so on next iteration this new block will be found first. That's bad, because old blocks in a free list will not get a chance to be fully used, thus fragmentation will grow. Let's consider this simple example: #1 We have one block in a free list which is partially used, and where only one page is free: HEAD |xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL ^ free space for 1 page, order 0 #2 New allocation request of order 1 (2 pages) comes, new block is allocated since we do not have free space to complete this request. New block is put into a head of a free list: HEAD |----------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL #3 Two pages were occupied in a new found block: HEAD |xx--------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL ^ two pages mapped here #4 New allocation request of order 0 (1 page) comes. Block, which was created on #2 step, is located at the beginning of a free list, so it will be found first: HEAD |xxX-------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL ^ ^ page mapped here, but better to use this hole It is obvious, that it is better to complete request of #4 step using the old block, where free space is left, because in other case fragmentation will be highly increased. But fragmentation is not only the case. The worst thing is that I can easily create scenario, when the whole vmalloc space is exhausted by blocks, which are not used, but already dirty and have several free pages. Let's consider this function which execution should be pinned to one CPU: static void exhaust_virtual_space(struct page *pages[16], int iters) { /* Firstly we have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages. * Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller * chunks, i.e. 8 pages. At the end small hole should remain. * So at the end of our allocation sequence block looks like * this: * XX big chunk * |XXxxxxxxx-| x small chunk * - hole, which is enough for a small chunk, * but is not enough for a big chunk */ while (iters--) { int i; void *vaddr; /* Map/unmap big chunk */ vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16); /* Map/unmap small chunks. * * -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block * to keep it partially used, with some free space available */ for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) { vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL); vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8); } } } On every iteration new block (1MB of vm area in my case) will be allocated and then will be occupied, without attempt to resolve small allocation request using previously allocated blocks in a free list. In case of random allocation (size should be randomly taken from the range [1..64] in 64-bit case or [1..32] in 32-bit case) situation is the same: new blocks continue to appear if maximum possible allocation size (32 or 64) passed to the allocator, because all remaining blocks in a free list do not have enough free space to complete this allocation request. In summary if new blocks are put into the head of a free list eventually virtual space will be exhausted. In current patch I simply put newly allocated block to the tail of a free list, thus reduce fragmentation, giving a chance to resolve allocation request using older blocks with possible holes left.

The mapping sizes of the traditional I/O devices are relatively small. Non-volatile memory (NVM), however, has many GB and is going to have TB soon. It is not very efficient to create large I/O mappings with 4KB. This patchset extends the ioremap() interfaces to transparently create I/O mappings with huge pages whenever possible. ioremap() continues to use 4KB mappings when a huge page does not fit into a requested range. There is no change necessary to the drivers using ioremap(). A requested physical address must be aligned by a huge page size (1GB or 2MB on x86) for using huge page mapping, though. The kernel huge I/O mapping will improve performance of NVM and other devices with large memory, and reduce the time to create their mappings as well. On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page, which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on the PAT memory types. The patchset introduces HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which indicates that the arch supports huge KVA mappings for ioremap(). User may specify a new kernel option "nohugeiomap" to disable the huge I/O mapping capability of ioremap() when necessary. Patch 1-4 change common files to support huge I/O mappings. There is no change in the functinalities unless HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is defined on the architecture of the system. Patch 5-6 implement the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP funcs on x86, and set HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP on x86. This patch (of 6): __get_vm_area_node() takes unsigned long size, which is a 64-bit value on a 64-bit kernel. However, fls(size) simply ignores the upper 32-bit. Change to use fls_long() to handle the size properly. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Cc: "H.

* kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modulesAndrey Ryabinin2015-03-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken. Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds it is no longer used. vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it: void vfree(const void *addr) { ... if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) { struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred); if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list)) schedule_work(&p->wq); Later this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory. Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free shadow before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel crash. So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory. However, such deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc() in module_alloc(). Free shadow right before releasing vm area. At this point vfree()'d memory is not used anymore and yet not available for other allocations. New VM_KASAN flag used to indicate that vm area has dynamically allocated shadow memory so kasan frees shadow only if it was previously allocated.
