The array pageflag_names[] does conversion from page flags into their
corresponding names so that a meaningful representation of the
corresponding page flag can be printed. This mechanism is used while
dumping page frames. However, the array missed PG_compound_lock. So
the PG_compound_lock page flag would be printed as a digital number
instead of a meaningful string.
The patch fixes that and prints "compound_lock" for the PG_compound_lock
page flag.

It's quite easy for tmpfs to scan the radix_tree to support llseek's new
SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE options: so add them while the minutiae are still
on my mind (in particular, the !PageUptodate-ness of pages fallocated but
still unwritten).
But I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it
would be of any use to them on tmpfs. This code adds 92 lines and 752
bytes on x86_64 - is that bloat or worthwhile?

As it stands, a large fallocate() on tmpfs is liable to fill memory with
pages, freed on failure except when they run into swap, at which point
they become fixed into the file despite the failure. That feels quite
wrong, to be consuming resources precisely when they're in short supply.
Go the other way instead: shmem_fallocate() indicate the range it has
fallocated to shmem_writepage(), keeping count of pages it's allocating;
shmem_writepage() reactivate instead of swapping out pages fallocated by
this syscall (but happily swap out those from earlier occasions), keeping
count; shmem_fallocate() compare counts and give up once the reactivated
pages have started to coming back to writepage (approximately: some zones
would in fact recycle faster than others).
This is a little unusual, but works well: although we could consider the
failure to swap as a bug, and fix it later with SWAP_MAP_FALLOC handling
added in swapfile.c and memcontrol.c, I doubt that we shall ever want to.
(If there's no swap, an over-large fallocate() on tmpfs is limited in the
same way as writing: stopped by rlimit, or by tmpfs mount size if that was
set sensibly, or by __vm_enough_memory() heuristics if OVERCOMMIT_GUESS or
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. If OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS, then it is liable to OOM-kill
others as writing would, but stops and frees if interrupted.)
Now that everything is freed on failure, we can then skip updating ctime.

In the previous episode, we left the already-fallocated pages attached to
the file when shmem_fallocate() fails part way through.
Now try to do better, by extending the earlier optimization of !Uptodate
pages (then always under page lock) to !Uptodate pages (outside of page
lock), representing fallocated pages. And don't waste time clearing them
at the time of fallocate(), leave that until later if necessary.
Adapt shmem_truncate_range() to shmem_undo_range(), so that a failing
fallocate can recognize and remove precisely those !Uptodate allocations
which it added (and were not independently allocated by racing tasks).
But unless we start playing with swapfile.c and memcontrol.c too, once one
of our fallocated pages reaches shmem_writepage(), we do then have to
instantiate it as an ordinarily allocated page, before swapping out. This
is unsatisfactory, but improved in the next episode.

The systemd plumbers expressed a wish that tmpfs support preallocation.
Cong Wang wrote a patch, but several kernel guys expressed scepticism:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/18/137
Christoph Hellwig: What for exactly? Please explain why preallocating on
tmpfs would make any sense.
Kay Sievers: To be able to safely use mmap(), regarding SIGBUS, on files
on the /dev/shm filesystem. The glibc fallback loop for -ENOSYS [or
-EOPNOTSUPP] on fallocate is just ugly.
Hugh Dickins: If tmpfs is going to support
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE), it would seem perverse to permit the
deallocation but fail the allocation. Christoph Hellwig: Agreed.
Now that we do have shmem_fallocate() for hole-punching, plumb in basic
support for preallocation mode too. It's fairly straightforward (though
quite a few details needed attention), except for when it fails part way
through. What a pity that fallocate(2) was not specified to return the
length allocated, permitting short fallocations!
As it is, when it fails part way through, we ought to free what has just
been allocated by this system call; but must be very sure not to free any
allocated earlier, or any allocated by racing accesses (not all excluded
by i_mutex).
But we cannot distinguish them: so in this patch simply leak allocations
on partial failure (they will be freed later if the file is removed).
An attractive alternative approach would have been for fallocate() not to
allocate pages at all, but note reservations by entries in the radix-tree.
But that would give less assurance, and, critically, would be hard to fit
with mem cgroups (who owns the reservations?): allocating pages lets
fallocate() behave in just the same way as write().

Remove vmtruncate_range(), and remove the truncate_range method from

converted over to using the fallocate method of file_operations.
Update Documentation accordingly, adding (setlease and) fallocate lines.
And while we're in mm.h, remove duplicate declarations of shmem_lock() and

There is one more user of vmtruncate_range() in our tree,

(but if its unpinned areas are already unmapped - I don't know - then it

tmpfs has supported hole-punching since 2.6.16, via
madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE).
But nowadays fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE|FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE,,) is
the agreed way to punch holes.
So add shmem_fallocate() to support that, and tweak shmem_truncate_range()
to support partial pages at both the beginning and end of range (never
needed for madvise, which demands rounded addr and rounds up length).

Yes, I have done perf reports, but they need more explanation than they
deserve: in summary, clear_page vanishes, its cache loading shifts into
copy_user_generic_unrolled; shmem_getpage_gfp goes down, and
surprisingly mark_page_accessed goes way up - I think because they are
respectively where the cache gets to be reloaded after being purged by
clear or copy.

The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the
backing RAM has to be below 4GB. Not a problem while the boards
supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and
their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver.
shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the
backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and
even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in. When
read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that
compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin
readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion.
We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new
shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page
from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with
shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given
gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32).
This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache()
(the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a
comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is
always a no-op while PageSwapCache.
Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(),
now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller
might already have made the copy). And at one point shmem_unuse_inode()
needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against
racing with inode eviction.
It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover
cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now:
needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought
to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

When MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pages are freed from MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type
pageblock (and some MIGRATE_MOVABLE pages are left in it) waiting until an
allocation takes ownership of the block may take too long. The type of
the pageblock remains unchanged so the pageblock cannot be used as a
migration target during compaction.
Fix it by:
* Adding enum compact_mode (COMPACT_ASYNC_[MOVABLE,UNMOVABLE], and
COMPACT_SYNC) and then converting sync field in struct compact_control
to use it.
* Adding nr_pageblocks_skipped field to struct compact_control and
tracking how many destination pageblocks were of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type.
If COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE mode compaction ran fully in
try_to_compact_pages() (COMPACT_COMPLETE) it implies that there is not a
suitable page for allocation. In this case then check how if there were
enough MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try a second pass in
COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE mode.
* Scanning the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks (during COMPACT_SYNC and
COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE compaction modes) and building a count based on
finding PageBuddy pages, page_count(page) == 0 or PageLRU pages. If all
pages within the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblock are in one of those three
sets change the whole pageblock type to MIGRATE_MOVABLE.
My particular test case (on a ARM EXYNOS4 device with 512 MiB, which means
131072 standard 4KiB pages in 'Normal' zone) is to:
- allocate 120000 pages for kernel's usage
- free every second page (60000 pages) of memory just allocated
- allocate and use 60000 pages from user space
- free remaining 60000 pages of kernel memory
(now we have fragmented memory occupied mostly by user space pages)
- try to allocate 100 order-9 (2048 KiB) pages for kernel's usage
The results:
- with compaction disabled I get 11 successful allocations
- with compaction enabled - 14 successful allocations
- with this patch I'm able to get all 100 successful allocations
NOTE: If we can make kswapd aware of order-0 request during compaction, we
can enhance kswapd with changing mode to COMPACT_ASYNC_FULL
(COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE + COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE). Please see the
following thread:

to the page allocator, it checks the bitmap if there are still
unreserved pages in the chunk (set bits), but also if the offset in the
chunk indicates BITS_PER_LONG loop iterations already.
But since the consulted bitmap is only a one-word-excerpt of the full

Even if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n gcc genereates code for some VM_BUG_ON()
for example VM_BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page) || !PageHead(page)); in
do_huge_pmd_wp_page() generates 114 bytes of code.
But they mostly disappears when I split this VM_BUG_ON into two:
-VM_BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page) || !PageHead(page));
+VM_BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page));
+VM_BUG_ON(!PageHead(page));
weird... but anyway after this patch code disappears completely.

Sometimes we want to check some expressions correctness at compile time.
"(void)(e);" or "if (e);" can be dangerous if the expression has
side-effects, and gcc sometimes generates a lot of code, even if the
expression has no effect.
This patch introduces macro BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() for such checks, it
forces a compilation error if expression is invalid without any extra
code.

The rmap walker checking page table references has historically ignored
references from VMAs that were not part of the memcg that was being
reclaimed during memcg hard limit reclaim.
When transitioning global reclaim to memcg hierarchy reclaim, I missed
that bit and now references from outside a memcg are ignored even during
global reclaim.
Reverting back to traditional behaviour - count all references during
global reclaim and only mind references of the memcg being reclaimed
during limit reclaim would be one option.
However, the more generic idea is to ignore references exactly then when
they are outside the hierarchy that is currently under reclaim; because
only then will their reclamation be of any use to help the pressure
situation. It makes no sense to ignore references from a sibling memcg
and then evict a page that will be immediately refaulted by that sibling
which contributes to the same usage of the common ancestor under
reclaim.
The solution: make the rmap walker ignore references from VMAs that are
not part of the hierarchy that is being reclaimed.
Flat limit reclaim will stay the same, hierarchical limit reclaim will
mind the references only to pages that the hierarchy owns. Global
reclaim, since it reclaims from all memcgs, will be fixed to regard all
references.

While running an application that moves tasks from one cpuset to another
I noticed that it takes much longer and moves many more pages than
expected.
The reason for this is do_migrate_pages() does its best to preserve the
relative node differential from the first node of the cpuset because the
application may have been written with that in mind. If memory was
interleaved on the nodes of the source cpuset by an application
do_migrate_pages() will try its best to maintain that interleaving on
the nodes of the destination cpuset. This means copying the memory from
all source nodes to the destination nodes even if the source and
destination nodes overlap.
This is a problem for userspace NUMA placement tools. The amount of
time spent doing extra memory moves cancels out some of the NUMA
performance improvements. Furthermore, if the number of source and
destination nodes are to maintain the previous interleaving layout
anyway.
This patch changes do_migrate_pages() to only preserve the relative
layout inside the program if the number of NUMA nodes in the source and
destination mask are the same. If the number is different, we do a much
more efficient migration by not touching memory that is in an allowed
node.
This preserves the old behaviour for programs that want it, while
allowing a userspace NUMA placement tool to use the new, faster
migration. This improves performance in our tests by up to a factor of
7.
Without this change migrating tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7
to a cpuset containing nodes 3-4, we migrate from ALL the nodes even if
they are in the both the source and destination nodesets:
Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 4 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 3 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
Migrating 2 to 3
With this change we only migrate from nodes that are not in the
destination nodesets:
Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 2 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
Yet if we move from a cpuset containing nodes 2,3,4 to a cpuset
containing 3,4,5 we still do move everything so that we preserve the
desired NUMA offsets:
Migrating 4 to 5
Migrating 3 to 4
Migrating 2 to 3
As far as performance is concerned this simple patch improves the time
it takes to move 14, 20 and 26 large tasks from a cpuset containing
nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 1 & 3 by up to a factor of 7.

On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L
#define EXTENT 16393
int main(void)
{
int i, r;
void *m;
char buf[1024];
for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) {
m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
if (m == (void *)-1)
printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m);
else
printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m);
r = fork();
if (r == 0) {
printf("%d: successed\n", i);
return 0;
} else if (r < 0)
printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r);
else if (r > 0)
wait(NULL);
}
return 0;
}
Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is
sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.

The "if (mm)" check is not required in find_vma, as the kernel code
calls find_vma only when it is absolutely sure that the mm_struct arg to
it is non-NULL.
Remove the if(mm) check and adding the a WARN_ONCE(!mm) for now. This
will serve the purpose of mandating that the execution
context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called. Also
fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in the declaration of the rb_node and
vma_tmp local variables.
I was browsing through the internet and read a discussion at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/27/342 which discusses removal of the
validation check within find_vma. Since no-one responded, I decided to
send this patch with Andrew's suggestions.

/sys/devices/system/node/{online,possible} outputs a garbage byte
because print_nodes_state() returns content size + 1. To fix the bug,
the patch changes the use of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist to follow the use at
other places, which is clearer and safer.

There is little motiviation for reclaim_mode_t once RECLAIM_MODE_[A]SYNC
and lumpy reclaim have been removed. This patch gets rid of
reclaim_mode_t as well and improves the documentation about what
reclaim/compaction is and when it is triggered.

This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was
only intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight. Page migration has
its own logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory
compaction is already using it.
Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary
one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a
considerable length of time. Page reclaim instead uses
wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being
scanned.

This series removes lumpy reclaim and some stalling logic that was
unintentionally being used by memory compaction. The end result is that
stalling on dirty pages during page reclaim now depends on
wait_iff_congested().
Four kernels were compared
3.3.0 vanilla
3.4.0-rc2 vanilla
3.4.0-rc2 lumpyremove-v2 is patch one from this series
3.4.0-rc2 nosync-v2r3 is the full series
Removing lumpy reclaim saves almost 900 bytes of text whereas the full
series removes 1200 bytes.

There are behaviour changes in the series and so tests were run with
monitoring of ftrace events. This disrupts results so the performance
results are distorted but the new behaviour should be clearer.
fs-mark running in a threaded configuration showed little of interest as
it did not push reclaim aggressively

It looks like here that the full series regresses performance but as
ftrace showed no usage of wait_iff_congested() or sync reclaim I am
assuming it's a disruption due to monitoring. Other data such as memory
usage, page IO, swap IO all looked similar.
Running a benchmark with a plain DD showed nothing very interesting.
The full series stalled in wait_iff_congested() slightly less but stall
times on vanilla kernels were marginal.
Running a benchmark that hammered on file-backed mappings showed stalls
due to congestion but not in sync writebacks

Reclaim statistics are not radically changed. The stall times in kswapd
are massive but it is clear that it is due to calls to congestion_wait()
and that is almost certainly the call in balance_pgdat(). Otherwise
stalls due to dirty pages are non-existant.
I ran a benchmark that stressed high-order allocation. This is very
artifical load but was used in the past to evaluate lumpy reclaim and
compaction. Generally I look at allocation success rates and latency
figures.

Success rates are completely hosed for 3.4-rc2 which is almost certainly
due to commit fe2c2a1066 ("vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction
is enabled"). I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair
allocation success rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did
not anticipate this much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less
reclaim by kswapd
In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily
which is the intended behaviour. hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would
be much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations
are. The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs
but is much closer to THP.
Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy
load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with
__GFP_REPEAT. Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool
resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from
network devices.
In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test
FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait

KSwapd time conditional waited 4980ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
KSwapd full conditional waited 49 0 0 0
The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is
directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan.
As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding
fewer dirty pages. This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0.
kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but
it's a lot less.
In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this
FTrace Reclaim Statistics: mm_vmscan_writepage
Direct writes anon sync 0 0 0 0
Direct writes anon async 0 0 0 0
Direct writes file sync 0 0 0 0
Direct writes file async 0 0 0 0

KSwapd writes mixed async 0 0 0 0
In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but
reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync
IO. This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling
wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely. It indicates
that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling
wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe.
This patch:
Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the
system so hard it trashed. For others the purpose was to complicate
vmscan.c. Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but
memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends
lumpy reclaim to the farm.
The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch
applied. Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages
in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested. Lumpy reclaim used
this logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error.
