mem-hotplug: fix node spanned pages when we have a node with only ZONE_MOVABLE

2019-06-15T09:52:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 299c83dce9ea3a79bb4b5511d2cb996b6b8e5111 ] 342332e6a925 ("mm/page_alloc.c: introduce kernelcore=mirror option") and later patches rewrote the calculation of node spanned pages. e506b99696a2 ("mem-hotplug: fix node spanned pages when we have a movable node"), but the current code still has problems, When we have a node with only zone_movable and the node id is not zero, the size of node spanned pages is double added. That's because we have an empty normal zone, and zone_start_pfn or zone_end_pfn is not between arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn and arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn, so we need to use clamp to constrain the range just like the commit <96e907d13602> (bootmem: Reimplement __absent_pages_in_range() using for_each_mem_pfn_range()). e.g. Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000ffffff] DMA32 [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x00000000ffffffff] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000023fffffff] Movable zone start for each node Node 0: 0x0000000100000000 Node 1: 0x0000000140000000 Early memory node ranges node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff] node 0 DMA spanned:0xfff present:0xf9e absent:0x61 node 0 DMA32 spanned:0xff000 present:0xbefe0 absent:0x40020 node 0 Normal spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 0 Movable spanned:0x40000 present:0x40000 absent:0 On node 0 totalpages(node_present_pages): 1048446 node_spanned_pages:1310719 node 1 DMA spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 1 DMA32 spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 1 Normal spanned:0x100000 present:0x100000 absent:0 node 1 Movable spanned:0x100000 present:0x100000 absent:0 On node 1 totalpages(node_present_pages): 2097152 node_spanned_pages:2097152 Memory: 6967796K/12582392K available (16388K kernel code, 3686K rwdata, 4468K rodata, 2160K init, 10444K bss, 5614596K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) It shows that the current memory of node 1 is double added.

mm/page_alloc.c: fix never set ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT flag

2019-04-26T16:18:05+00:00

Commit 0a79cdad5eb2 ("mm: use alloc_flags to record if kswapd can wake") removed setting of the ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT flag. Bring it back. The runtime effect is that ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT behaviour is restored so that allocations are spread across local zones to avoid fragmentation due to mixing pageblocks as long as possible.

mm/page_alloc.c: avoid potential NULL pointer dereference

2019-04-26T16:18:05+00:00

ac.preferred_zoneref->zone passed to alloc_flags_nofragment() can be NULL. 'zone' pointer unconditionally derefernced in alloc_flags_nofragment(). Bail out on NULL zone to avoid potential crash. Currently we don't see any crashes only because alloc_flags_nofragment() has another bug which allows compiler to optimize away all accesses to 'zone'.

mm, page_alloc: always use a captured page regardless of compaction result

2019-04-26T16:18:05+00:00

During the development of commit 5e1f0f098b46 ("mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction"), a paranoid check was added to ensure that if a captured page was available after compaction that it was consistent with the final state of compaction. The intent was to catch serious programming bugs such as using a stale page pointer and causing corruption problems. However, it is possible to get a captured page even if compaction was unsuccessful if an interrupt triggered and happened to free pages in interrupt context that got merged into a suitable high-order page. It's highly unlikely but Li Wang did report the following warning on s390 occuring when testing OOM handling. Note that the warning is slightly edited for clarity.

mm: do not boost watermarks to avoid fragmentation for the DISCONTIG memory model

2019-04-26T16:18:05+00:00

Mikulas Patocka reported that commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") "broke" memory management on parisc. The machine is not NUMA but the DISCONTIG model creates three pgdats even though it's a UMA machine for the following ranges 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB Mikulas reported: With the patch 1c30844d2, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB. For example, if I run: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=2048 - with the proper kernel, there should be "Buffers - 2GiB" when this command finishes. With the patch 1c30844d2, buffers will consume just 1GiB or slightly more, because the kernel was incorrectly reclaiming them. The page allocator and reclaim makes assumptions that pgdats really represent NUMA nodes and zones represent ranges and makes decisions on that basis. Watermark boosting for small pgdats leads to unexpected results even though this would have behaved reasonably on SPARSEMEM. DISCONTIG is essentially deprecated and even parisc plans to move to SPARSEMEM so there is no need to be fancy, this patch simply disables watermark boosting by default on DISCONTIGMEM.

mm/hotplug: treat CMA pages as unmovable

2019-04-19T16:46:05+00:00

has_unmovable_pages() is used by allocating CMA and gigantic pages as well as the memory hotplug. The later doesn't know how to offline CMA pool properly now, but if an unused (free) CMA page is encountered, then has_unmovable_pages() happily considers it as a free memory and propagates this up the call chain. Memory offlining code then frees the page without a proper CMA tear down which leads to an accounting issues. Moreover if the same memory range is onlined again then the memory never gets back to the CMA pool. State after memory offline: # grep cma /proc/vmstat nr_free_cma 205824 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/cma/cma-kvm_cma/count 209920 Also, kmemleak still think those memory address are reserved below but have already been used by the buddy allocator after onlining. This patch fixes the situation by treating CMA pageblocks as unmovable except when has_unmovable_pages() is called as part of CMA allocation.

mm/hotplug: fix offline undo_isolate_page_range()

2019-03-29T17:01:37+00:00

Commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online") introduced move_pfn_range_to_zone() which calls memmap_init_zone() during onlining a memory block. memmap_init_zone() will reset pagetype flags and makes migrate type to be MOVABLE. However, in __offline_pages(), it also call undo_isolate_page_range() after offline_isolated_pages() to do the same thing. Due to commit 2ce13640b3f4 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages") changed __first_valid_page() to skip offline pages, undo_isolate_page_range() here just waste CPU cycles looping around the offlining PFN range while doing nothing, because __first_valid_page() will return NULL as offline_isolated_pages() has already marked all memory sections within the pfn range as offline via offline_mem_sections(). Also, after calling the "useless" undo_isolate_page_range() here, it reaches the point of no returning by notifying MEM_OFFLINE. Those pages will be marked as MIGRATE_MOVABLE again once onlining. The only thing left to do is to decrease the number of isolated pageblocks zone counter which would make some paths of the page allocation slower that the above commit introduced. Even if alloc_contig_range() can be used to isolate 16GB-hugetlb pages on ppc64, an "int" should still be enough to represent the number of pageblocks there. Fix an incorrect comment along the way.
