Patch series "Rearrange struct page", v6. As presented at LSFMM, this patch-set rearranges struct page to give more contiguous usable space to users who have allocated a struct page for their own purposes. For a graphical view of before-and-after, see the first two tabs of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvCszs_7FXrjei9_mtFiKV6nW1FLnYyvPvW-qNZhdog/edit?usp=sharing Highlights: - deferred_list now really exists in struct page instead of just a comment. - hmm_data also exists in struct page instead of being a nasty hack. - x86's PGD pages have a real pointer to the mm_struct. - VMalloc pages now have all sorts of extra information stored in them to help with debugging and tuning. - rcu_head is no longer tied to slab in case anyone else wants to free pages by RCU. - slub's counters no longer share space with _refcount. - slub's freelist+counters are now naturally dword aligned. - slub loses a parameter to a lot of functions and a sysfs file. This patch (of 17): s390 borrows the storage used for _mapcount in struct page in order to account whether the bottom or top half is being used for 2kB page tables. I want to use that for something else, so use the top byte of _refcount instead of the bottom byte of _mapcount. _refcount may temporarily be incremented by other CPUs that see a stale pointer to this page in the page cache, but each CPU can only increment it by one, and there are no systems with 2^24 CPUs today, so they will not change the upper byte of _refcount. We do have to be a little careful not to lose any of their writes (as they will subsequently decrement the counter).

This is to take better advantage of general huge page clearing optimization (commit c79b57e4: "mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page") for hugetlbfs. In the general optimization patch, the sub-page to access will be cleared last to avoid the cache lines of to access sub-page to be evicted when clearing other sub-pages. This works better if we have the address of the sub-page to access, that is, the fault address inside the huge page. So the hugetlbfs no page fault handler is changed to pass that information. This will benefit workloads which don't access the begin of the hugetlbfs huge page after the page fault under heavy cache contention for shared last level cache. The patch is a generic optimization which should benefit quite some workloads, not for a specific use case. To demonstrate the performance benefit of the patch, we tested it with vm-scalability run on hugetlbfs. With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.1% in vm-scalability anon-w-seq test case with 88 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 2699 v4 system (44 cores, 88 threads). The test case creates 88 processes, each process mmaps a big anonymous memory area with MAP_HUGETLB and writes to it from the end to the begin. For each process, other processes could be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~36.3% to ~25.6%, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.3 to 0.37, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~19.3%.

Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim. But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to invoke the OOM killer. It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism to provide stronger guarantees. This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no more reclaimable memory in the system. If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory, and the system can stall.

In commit 1c90308e ("pagemap: hide physical addresses from non-privileged users"), the restriction is relieved to make /proc/PID/pagemap readable, but hide the physical addresses for non-privileged users. But the swap entries are readable for non-privileged users too. This has some security issues. For example, for page under migrating, the swap entry has physical address information. So, in this patch, the swap entries are hided for non-privileged users too.

tmpfs uses the helper d_find_alias() to find a dentry from a decoded inode, but d_find_alias() skips unhashed dentries, so unlinked files cannot be decoded from a file handle. This can be reproduced using xfstests test program open_by_handle: $ open_by handle -c /tmp/testdir $ open_by_handle -dk /tmp/testdir open_by_handle(/tmp/testdir/file000000) returned 116 incorrectly on an unlinked open file! To fix this, if d_find_alias() can't find a hashed alias, call d_find_any_alias() to return an unhashed one.

While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats. 1: https://lwn.net/Articles/625412/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9f8aa70652a98e98d7c4de0fc96a4addcee13efe.1523778026.git.osandov@fb.com Fixes: d92a8cfc ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") Signed-off-by:Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Reviewed-by:

Since tmpfs THP was supported in 4.8, hugetlbfs is not the only filesystem with huge page support anymore. tmpfs can use huge page via THP when mounting by "huge=" mount option. When applications use huge page on hugetlbfs, it just need check the filesystem magic number, but it is not enough for tmpfs. Make stat.st_blksize return huge page size if it is mounted by appropriate "huge=" option to give applications a hint to optimize the behavior with THP. Some applications may not do wisely with THP. For example, QEMU may mmap file on non huge page aligned hint address with MAP_FIXED, which results in no pages are PMD mapped even though THP is used. Some applications may mmap file with non huge page aligned offset. Both behaviors make THP pointless. statfs.f_bsize still returns 4KB for tmpfs since THP could be split, and it also may fallback to 4KB page silently if there is not enough huge page. Furthermore, different f_bsize makes max_blocks and free_blocks calculation harder but without too much benefit. Returning huge page size via stat.st_blksize sounds good enough. Since PUD size huge page for THP has not been supported, now it just returns HPAGE_PMD_SIZE. Hugh said: : Sorry, I have no enthusiasm for this patch; but do I feel strongly : enough to override you and everyone else to NAK it? No, I don't feel : that strongly, maybe st_blksize isn't worth arguing over. : : We did look at struct stat when designing huge tmpfs, to see if there : were any fields that should be adjusted for it; but concluded none. : Yes, it would sometimes be nice to have a quickly accessible indicator : for when tmpfs has been mounted huge (scanning /proc/mounts for options : can be tiresome, agreed); but since tmpfs tries to supply huge (or not) : pages transparently, no difference seemed right. : : So, because st_blksize is a not very useful field of struct stat, with : "size" in the name, we're going to put HPAGE_PMD_SIZE in there instead : of PAGE_SIZE, if the tmpfs was mounted with one of the huge "huge" : options (force or always, okay; within_size or advise, not so much). : Though HPAGE_PMD_SIZE is no more its "preferred I/O size" or "blocksize : for file system I/O" than PAGE_SIZE was. : : Which we can expect to speed up some applications and disadvantage : others, depending on how they interpret st_blksize: just like if we : changed it in the same way on non-huge tmpfs. (Did I actually try : changing st_blksize early on, and find it broke something? If so, I've : now forgotten what, and a search through commit messages didn't find : it; but I guess we'll find out soon enough.) : : If there were an mstat() syscall, returning a field "preferred : alignment", then we could certainly agree to put HPAGE_PMD_SIZE in : there; but in stat()'s st_blksize?

mmap_sem will be read locked when calling follow_pmd_mask(). But this cannot prevent PMD from being changed for all cases when PTL is unlocked, for example, from pmd_trans_huge() to pmd_none() via MADV_DONTNEED. So it is possible for the pmd_present() check in follow_pmd_mask() to encounter an invalid PMD. This may cause an incorrect VM_BUG_ON() or an infinite loop. Fix this by reading the PMD entry into a local variable with READ_ONCE() and checking the local variable and pmd_none() in the retry loop. As Kirill pointed out, with PTL unlocked, the *pmd may be changed under us, so reading it directly again and again may incur weird bugs. So although using *pmd directly other than for pmd_present() checking may be safe, it is still better to replace them to read *pmd once and check the local variable multiple times. When PTL unlocked, replace all *pmd with local variable was suggested by Kirill. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180419083514.1365-1-ying.huang@intel.com Signed-off-by:

This patch aims to address an issue in current memory.low semantics, which makes it hard to use it in a hierarchy, where some leaf memory cgroups are more valuable than others. For example, there are memcgs A, A/B, A/C, A/D and A/E: A A/memory.low = 2G, A/memory.current = 6G //\\ BC DE B/memory.low = 3G B/memory.current = 2G C/memory.low = 1G C/memory.current = 2G D/memory.low = 0 D/memory.current = 2G E/memory.low = 10G E/memory.current = 0 If we apply memory pressure, B, C and D are reclaimed at the same pace while A's usage exceeds 2G. This is obviously wrong, as B's usage is fully below B's memory.low, and C has 1G of protection as well. Also, A is pushed to the size, which is less than A's 2G memory.low, which is also wrong. A simple bash script (provided below) can be used to reproduce the problem. Current results are: A: 1430097920 A/B: 711929856 A/C: 717426688 A/D: 741376 A/E: 0 To address the issue a concept of effective memory.low is introduced. Effective memory.low is always equal or less than original memory.low. In a case, when there is no memory.low overcommittment (and also for top-level cgroups), these two values are equal. Otherwise it's a part of parent's effective memory.low, calculated as a cgroup's memory.low usage divided by sum of sibling's memory.low usages (under memory.low usage I mean the size of actually protected memory: memory.current if memory.current < memory.low, 0 otherwise). It's necessary to track the actual usage, because otherwise an empty cgroup with memory.low set (A/E in my example) will affect actual memory distribution, which makes no sense. To avoid traversing the cgroup tree twice, page_counters code is reused. Calculating effective memory.low can be done in the reclaim path, as we conveniently traversing the cgroup tree from top to bottom and check memory.low on each level. So, it's a perfect place to calculate effective memory low and save it to use it for children cgroups. This also eliminates a need to traverse the cgroup tree from bottom to top each time to check if parent's guarantee is not exceeded. Setting/resetting effective memory.low is intentionally racy, but it's fine and shouldn't lead to any significant differences in actual memory distribution.

This patch renames struct page_counter fields: count -> usage limit -> max and the corresponding functions: page_counter_limit() -> page_counter_set_max() mem_cgroup_get_limit() -> mem_cgroup_get_max() mem_cgroup_resize_limit() -> mem_cgroup_resize_max() memcg_update_kmem_limit() -> memcg_update_kmem_max() memcg_update_tcp_limit() -> memcg_update_tcp_max() The idea behind this renaming is to have the direct matching between memory cgroup knobs (low, high, max) and page_counters API. This is pure renaming, this patch doesn't bring any functional change. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180405185921.4942-1-guro@fb.com Signed-off-by:

So far code was using ULLONG_MAX and type casting to obtain a phys_addr_t with all bits set. The typecast is necessary to silence compiler warnings on 32-bit platforms. Use the simpler but still type safe approach "~(phys_addr_t)0" to create a preprocessor define for all bits set. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180406213809.566-1-stefan@agner.ch Signed-off-by:

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture header files. Most of the time, it is defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per architecture static definition. This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. Here notes for some architecture where the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious: arm __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE. powerpc __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files: - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is included in all the other cases. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time. sparc: __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64 There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

With the addition of memfd hugetlbfs support, we now have the situation where memfd depends on TMPFS -or- HUGETLBFS. Previously, memfd was only supported on tmpfs, so it made sense that the code resided in shmem.c. In the current code, memfd is only functional if TMPFS is defined. If HUGETLFS is defined and TMPFS is not defined, then memfd functionality will not be available for hugetlbfs. This does not cause BUGs, just a lack of potentially desired functionality. Code is restructured in the following way: - include/linux/memfd.h is a new file containing memfd specific definitions previously contained in shmem_fs.h. - mm/memfd.c is a new file containing memfd specific code previously contained in shmem.c. - memfd specific code is removed from shmem_fs.h and shmem.c. - A new config option MEMFD_CREATE is added that is defined if TMPFS or HUGETLBFS is defined. No functional changes are made to the code: restructuring only. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180415182119.4517-4-mike.kravetz@oracle.com Signed-off-by:

In preparation for memfd code restructure, update comments, definitions and function names dealing with file sealing to indicate that tmpfs and hugetlbfs are the supported filesystems. Also, change file pointer checks in memfd_file_seals_ptr to use defined interfaces instead of directly referencing file_operation structs.

zRam as swap is useful for small memory device. However, swap means those pages on zram are mostly cold pages due to VM's LRU algorithm. Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching, they tend to be not accessed any more and finally swapped out. zRAM can store such cold pages as compressed form but it's pointless to keep in memory. Better idea is app developers free them directly rather than remaining them on heap. This patch tell us last access time of each block of zram via "cat /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state". The output is as follows, 300 75.033841 .wh 301 63.806904 s.. 302 63.806919 ..h First column is zram's block index and 3rh one represents symbol (s: same page w: written page to backing store h: huge page) of the block state. Second column represents usec time unit of the block was last accessed. So above example means the 300th block is accessed at 75.033851 second and it was huge so it was written to the backing store. Admin can leverage this information to catch cold|incompressible pages of process with *pagemap* once part of heaps are swapped out. I used the feature a few years ago to find memory hoggers in userspace to notify them what memory they have wasted without touch for a long time. With it, they could reduce unnecessary memory space. However, at that time, I hacked up zram for the feature but now I need the feature again so I decided it would be better to upstream rather than keeping it alone. I hope I submit the userspace tool to use the feature soon.
