* Fix potential endless loop in kswapd when compaction is not enabledRik van Riel2012-03-241-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | We should only test compaction_suitable if the kernel is built with CONFIG_COMPACTION, otherwise the stub compaction_suitable function will always return COMPACT_SKIPPED and send kswapd into an infinite loop.

* coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMPJason Baron2012-03-231-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit for 'VM_NODUMP' flag. The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag: MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request memory regions which should not dump core. The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core. This flag might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely make sure that parts of memory are not dumped. To clear the flag use: MADV_DODUMP.

* coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flagJason Baron2012-03-231-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

* signal: oom_kill_task: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()Oleg Nesterov2012-03-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change oom_kill_task() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not need force_ to kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks. And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting thread even if oom_kill_task() checks p->mm != NULL, while do_send_sig_info(group => true) kille the whole process.

Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its memcg....this is slow. This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not". With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg. Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file, MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the range by madvise() and page fault again.

The reason is that memcg has a feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race between "move" and "page stat accounting", Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B. CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B does "page stat accounting". When CPU-A goes 1st, CPU-A CPU-B update "struct page" info. move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg) see pc->flags copy page stat to new group overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg) move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem) set pc->flags update page stat accounting move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem) stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic (CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information. But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and 'struct page_cgroup'. And, there is a potential problem. For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg. PG_..is a flag for struct page. PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup. (This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any kind of page stat accounting.) CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) TestClear PG_dirty if (TestClear(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty-- if (TestSet(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty++ Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong. This race was reported by Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com>. Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug, _now_, If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using original 'struct page' information. But we'll have a problem in "move account" Assume we use only PG_dirty. CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) move_lock_mem_cgroup() if (PageDirty(page)) new_memcg->nr_dirty++ pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg; move_unlock_mem_cgroup() move_lock_mem_cgroup() memcg = pc->mem_cgroup new_memcg->nr_dirty++ accounting information may be double-counted. This was original reason to have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem. I think we need a bigger lock as move_lock_mem_cgroup(page) TestSetPageDirty(page) update page stats (without any checks) move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page) This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into page_cgroup. Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there are possibility of "account move" under the system. So, in most path, status update will go without atomic locks. This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying 'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it. as mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() modify page information mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() => never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters. mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat(). This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/ end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not. A following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

This lock helps to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving tasks between cgroup is not a usual job. So, it seems using 1bit per page is too costly. This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes PCG_MOVE_LOCK. If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but I'd like to start from this.

This works as following CPU-A CPU-B rcu_read_lock() set flag if(flag is set) take heavy lock do job. synchronize_rcu() rcu_read_unlock() take heavy lock. In recent discussion, it's argued that using per-cpu value for this flag just complicates the code because 'set flag' is very rare. This patch changes 'flag' implementation from percpu to atomic_t. This will be much simpler.

Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This doesn't include shmem. Considering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know what the page is and we don't need to record it by using one bit per page. This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is. About page migration: Mapping of the used page is not touched during migra tion (see page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct charge type down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for unused page. The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few lines up. But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding another flag just to skip them.

Modify hugetlb_file_setup() to align requests to the huge page size, and to accept an address argument so that all alignment checks can be performed in hugetlb_file_setup(), rather than in its callers. Change newseg() and mmap_pgoff() to match the new prototype and eliminate a now redundant alignment check.

They don't interact with the general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour. Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages) associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance. Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page(). This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the associated inode has already been freed. If an unmount occurs at the wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are stored may have been freed. Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock, bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed. Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made the existing layering violation worse. This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and some of the existing, layering violation. It works by introducing the concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from. hugetlbfs now creates a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of the address_space pointer used now. The subpool has its own lifetime and is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e. superblocks) are gone. subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to mean that no subpool limits are in effect. Previous discussion of this bug found in: "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs quota handling.".

[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

The memory controller may also pass the charge order to the oom killer so it can emit the same information. This is useful in determining how large the memory allocation is that triggered the oom killer.
