Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
for hugetlbfs and thp pages:
if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
copy_huge_page(newpage, page);
So, yay for code reuse. But:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate(). This works 99% of the
time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
alone. Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
page order, it works.
But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
(say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:
void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
{
struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
...
Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
functions. This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.
I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff10 ("mm: numa: Add
THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")

This patch extends the page lock to being held until the pmd_numa is
cleared to prevent migration starting in parallel while the pmd_numa is
being cleared. It also flushes the old pmd entry and orders pagetable

[ Fixed build failure on 32-bit systems. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
page boundary.
To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.
To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.
First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults can result in lower performance overall.
The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.
The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false
shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated
page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the
nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data.
This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support
for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so
that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note
that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked
VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages
is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between
caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.

This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description,
please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74.
Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free
pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is
heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim
path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton
enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives
in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock:
kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still
not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again
to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to
0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at
73ce02e9 in detail. If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep
and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0. It assume high-order users
can still perform direct reclaim if they wish.
Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a
COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on
zone->all_unreclaimble= . This is because to avoid too early oom-kill.
So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop.
In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when
kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill
the process. As described in:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737
We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because
direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy. Thus this
patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates
zone reclaimable state every time.
Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned
directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable. Because, it
is racy. commit 929bea7c71 (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use
zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages
(mainly due to lack of testing,) so we had better not enable migration of
other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it.
Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do
page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe. But the
other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without
this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages.
To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an
architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd
basis or not. And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are
available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

Currently migrate_huge_page() takes a pointer to a hugepage to be migrated
as an argument, instead of taking a pointer to the list of hugepages to be
migrated. This behavior was introduced in commit 189ebff28 ("hugetlb:
simplify migrate_huge_page()"), and was OK because until now hugepage
migration is enabled only for soft-offlining which migrates only one
hugepage in a single call.
But the situation will change in the later patches in this series which
enable other users of page migration to support hugepage migration. They
can kick migration for both of normal pages and hugepages in a single
call, so we need to go back to original implementation which uses linked
lists to collect the hugepages to be migrated.
With this patch, soft_offline_huge_page() switches to use migrate_pages(),
and migrate_huge_page() is not used any more. So let's remove it.

Currently hugepage migration is available only for soft offlining, but
it's also useful for some other users of page migration (clearly because
users of hugepage can enjoy the benefit of mempolicy and memory hotplug.)
So this patchset tries to extend such users to support hugepage migration.
The target of this patchset is to enable hugepage migration for NUMA
related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and
memory hotplug.
This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction,
because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by
arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages.
CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage
migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack
of testing and expertise in CMA.)
Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in
x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now
(again, because of lack of testing.)
As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to
handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to
check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches
are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is
about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9
is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation.
My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via
each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code
is available here:
git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git
And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With
this patchset, no regression was found in the test.
This patch (of 9):
Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage,
this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only
LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages()
and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages.

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try
to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally
experience long delay or soft lockup.
This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces
migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

Page 'new' during MIGRATION can't be flushed with flush_cache_page().
Using flush_cache_page(vma, addr, pfn) is justified only if the page is
already placed in process page table, and that is done right after
flush_cache_page(). But without it the arch function has no knowledge
of process PTE and does nothing.
Besides that, flush_cache_page() flushes an application cache page, but
the kernel has a different page virtual address and dirtied it.
Replace it with flush_dcache_page(new) which is the proper usage.
The old page is flushed in try_to_unmap_one() before migration.
This bug takes place in Sead3 board with M14Kc MIPS CPU without cache
aliasing (but Harvard arch - separate I and D cache) in tight memory
environment (128MB) each 1-3days on SOAK test. It fails in cc1 during
kernel build (SIGILL, SIGBUS, SIGSEG) if CONFIG_COMPACTION is switched
ON.

Migration of KSM pages is now safe: remove the PageKsm restrictions from
mempolicy.c and migrate.c.
But keep PageKsm out of __unmap_and_move()'s anon_vma contortions, which
are irrelevant to KSM: it looks as if that code was preventing hotremove
migration of KSM pages, unless they happened to be in swapcache.
There is some question as to whether enforcing a NUMA mempolicy migration
ought to migrate KSM pages, mapped into entirely unrelated processes; but
moving page_mapcount > 1 is only permitted with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL anyway,
and it seems reasonable to assume that you wouldn't set MADV_MERGEABLE on
any area where this is a worry.

KSM page migration is already supported in the case of memory hotremove,
which takes the ksm_thread_mutex across all its migrations to keep life
simple.
But the new KSM NUMA merge_across_nodes knob introduces a problem, when
it's set to non-default 0: if a KSM page is migrated to a different NUMA
node, how do we migrate its stable node to the right tree? And what if
that collides with an existing stable node?
So far there's no provision for that, and this patch does not attempt to
deal with it either. But how will I test a solution, when I don't know
how to hotremove memory? The best answer is to enable KSM page migration
in all cases now, and test more common cases. With THP and compaction
added since KSM came in, page migration is now mainstream, and it's a
shame that a KSM page can frustrate freeing a page block.
Without worrying about merge_across_nodes 0 for now, this patch gets KSM
page migration working reliably for default merge_across_nodes 1 (but
leave the patch enabling it until near the end of the series).
It's much simpler than I'd originally imagined, and does not require an
additional tier of locking: page migration relies on the page lock, KSM
page reclaim relies on the page lock, the page lock is enough for KSM page
migration too.
Almost all the care has to be in get_ksm_page(): that's the function which
worries about when a stable node is stale and should be freed, now it also
has to worry about the KSM page being migrated.
The only new overhead is an additional put/get/lock/unlock_page when
stable_tree_search() arrives at a matching node: to make sure migration
respects the raised page count, and so does not migrate the page while
we're busy with it here. That's probably avoidable, either by changing
internal interfaces from using kpage to stable_node, or by moving the
ksm_migrate_page() callsite into a page_freeze_refs() section (even if not
swapcache); but this works well, I've no urge to pull it apart now.
(Descents of the stable tree may pass through nodes whose KSM pages are
under migration: being unlocked, the raised page count does not prevent
that, nor need it: it's safe to memcmp against either old or new page.)
You might worry about mremap, and whether page migration's rmap_walk to
remove migration entries will find all the KSM locations where it inserted
earlier: that should already be handled, by the satisfyingly heavy hammer
of move_vma()'s call to ksm_madvise(,,,MADV_UNMERGEABLE,).

The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and
reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a
struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have
reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in
memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to
page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as
it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more
conflicts than it is worth.

When correcting commit 04fa5d6a65 ("mm: migrate: check page_count of
THP before migrating") Hugh Dickins noted that the control flow for
transhuge migration was difficult to follow. Unconditionally calling
put_page() in numamigrate_isolate_page() made the failure paths of both
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() and migrate_misplaced_page() more
complex that they should be. Further, he was extremely wary that an
unlock_page() should ever happen after a put_page() even if the
put_page() should never be the final put_page.
Hugh implemented the following cleanup to simplify the path by calling
putback_lru_page() inside numamigrate_isolate_page() if it failed to
isolate and always calling unlock_page() within
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page().
There is no functional change after this patch is applied but the code
is easier to follow and unlock_page() always happens before put_page().

Wanpeng Li pointed out that numamigrate_isolate_page() assumes that only
one base page is being migrated when in fact it can also be checking
THP.
The consequences are that a migration will be attempted when a target
node is nearly full and fail later. It's unlikely to be user-visible
but it should be fixed. While we are there, migrate_balanced_pgdat()
should treat nr_migrate_pages as an unsigned long as it is treated as a
watermark.

Hugh Dickins pointed out that migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() does
not check page_count before migrating like base page migration and
khugepage. He could not see why this was safe and he is right.
The potential impact of the bug is avoided due to the limitations of
NUMA balancing. The page_mapcount() check ensures that only a single
address space is using this page and as THPs are typically private it
should not be possible for another address space to fault it in
parallel. If the address space has one associated task then it's
difficult to have both a GUP pin and be referencing the page at the same
time. If there are multiple tasks then a buggy scenario requires that
another thread be accessing the page while the direct IO is in flight.
This is dodgy behaviour as there is a possibility of corruption with or
without THP migration. It would be
While we happen to be safe for the most part it is shoddy to depend on
such "safety" so this patch checks the page count similar to anonymous
pages. Note that this does not mean that the page_mapcount() check can
go away. If we were to remove the page_mapcount() check the the THP
would have to be unmapped from all referencing PTEs, replaced with
migration PTEs and restored properly afterwards.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make

hugepages, so define the dummy function for such a configuration and only
define migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page_put() when transparent hugepages
are enabled.

Note: This is very heavily based on a patch from Peter Zijlstra with
fixes from Ingo Molnar, Hugh Dickins and Johannes Weiner. That patch
put a lot of migration logic into mm/huge_memory.c where it does
not belong. This version puts tries to share some of the migration
logic with migrate_misplaced_page. However, it should be noted
that now migrate.c is doing more with the pagetable manipulation
than is preferred. The end result is barely recognisable so as
before, the signed-offs had to be removed but will be re-added if
the original authors are ok with it.
Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case.
It uses the page lock to serialize. No migration pte dance is
necessary because the pte is already unmapped when we decide
to migrate.

If there are a large number of NUMA hinting faults and all of them
are resulting in migrations it may indicate that memory is just
bouncing uselessly around. NUMA balancing cost is likely exceeding
any benefit from locality. Rate limit the PTE updates if the node
is migration rate-limited. As noted in the comments, this distorts
the NUMA faulting statistics.

NOTE: This is very heavily based on similar logic in autonuma. It should
be signed off by Andrea but because there was no standalone
patch and it's sufficiently different from what he did that
the signed-off is omitted. Will be added back if requested.
If a large number of pages are misplaced then the memory bus can be
saturated just migrating pages between nodes. This patch rate-limits
the amount of memory that can be migrating between nodes.

It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA placement in a
meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part
of a basic costing model.
u = basic unit = sizeof(void *)
Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca
Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock)
where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock
is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a
lock
Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000
Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u
Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi
where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost
of the locking operation
Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma)
where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2
would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive
Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates +
Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults +
Ci * numa_pages_migrated +
Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated
Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages
were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A
vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is
pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill.
The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count
the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like
benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma
but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the
expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0.
convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults
where this is measured for the last N number of
numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully
converged the value is 1.
This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is
doing it.

If we have to avoid migrating to a node that is nearly full, put page
and return zero.

Note: This was originally based on Peter's patch "mm/migrate: Introduce
migrate_misplaced_page()" but borrows extremely heavily from Andrea's
"autonuma: memory follows CPU algorithm and task/mm_autonuma stats
collection". The end result is barely recognisable so signed-offs
had to be dropped. If original authors are ok with it, I'll
re-add the signed-off-bys.
Add migrate_misplaced_page() which deals with migrating pages from
faults.

The pgmigrate_success and pgmigrate_fail vmstat counters tells the user
about migration activity but not the type or the reason. This patch adds
a tracepoint to identify the type of page migration and why the page is
being migrated.
