mm: vmscan: scan anonymous pages on file refaults

2019-07-28T06:28:38+00:00

commit 2c012a4ad1a2cd3fb5a0f9307b9d219f84eda1fa upstream. When file refaults are detected and there are many inactive file pages, the system never reclaim anonymous pages, the file pages are dropped aggressively when there are still a lot of cold anonymous pages and system thrashes. This issue impacts the performance of applications with large executable, e.g. chrome. With this patch, when file refault is detected, inactive_list_is_low() always returns true for file pages in get_scan_count() to enable scanning anonymous pages. The problem can be reproduced by the following test program. ---8<--- void fallocate_file(const char *filename, off_t size) { struct stat st; int fd; if (!stat(filename, &st) && st.st_size >= size) return; fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0600); if (fd < 0) { perror("create file"); exit(1); } if (posix_fallocate(fd, 0, size)) { perror("fallocate"); exit(1); } close(fd); } long *alloc_anon(long size) { long *start = malloc(size); memset(start, 1, size); return start; } long access_file(const char *filename, long size, long rounds) { int fd, i; volatile char *start1, *end1, *start2; const int page_size = getpagesize(); long sum = 0; fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("open"); exit(1); } /* * Some applications, e.g. chrome, use a lot of executable file * pages, map some of the pages with PROT_EXEC flag to simulate * the behavior. */ start1 = mmap(NULL, size / 2, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (start1 == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); exit(1); } end1 = start1 + size / 2; start2 = mmap(NULL, size / 2, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, size / 2); if (start2 == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); exit(1); } for (i = 0; i < rounds; ++i) { struct timeval before, after; volatile char *ptr1 = start1, *ptr2 = start2; gettimeofday(&before, NULL); for (; ptr1 < end1; ptr1 += page_size, ptr2 += page_size) sum += *ptr1 + *ptr2; gettimeofday(&after, NULL); printf("File access time, round %d: %f (sec) ", i, (after.tv_sec - before.tv_sec) + (after.tv_usec - before.tv_usec) / 1000000.0); } return sum; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const long MB = 1024 * 1024; long anon_mb, file_mb, file_rounds; const char filename[] = "large"; long *ret1; long ret2; if (argc != 4) { printf("usage: thrash ANON_MB FILE_MB FILE_ROUNDS "); exit(0); } anon_mb = atoi(argv[1]); file_mb = atoi(argv[2]); file_rounds = atoi(argv[3]); fallocate_file(filename, file_mb * MB); printf("Allocate %ld MB anonymous pages ", anon_mb); ret1 = alloc_anon(anon_mb * MB); printf("Access %ld MB file pages ", file_mb); ret2 = access_file(filename, file_mb * MB, file_rounds); printf("Print result to prevent optimization: %ld ", *ret1 + ret2); return 0; } ---8<--- Running the test program on 2GB RAM VM with kernel 5.2.0-rc5, the program fills ram with 2048 MB memory, access a 200 MB file for 10 times.

mm/vmscan.c: prevent useless kswapd loops

2019-07-10T07:52:31+00:00

commit dffcac2cb88e4ec5906235d64a83d802580b119e upstream. In production we have noticed hard lockups on large machines running large jobs due to kswaps hoarding lru lock within isolate_lru_pages when sc->reclaim_idx is 0 which is a small zone. The lru was couple hundred GiBs and the condition (page_zonenum(page) > sc->reclaim_idx) in isolate_lru_pages() was basically skipping GiBs of pages while holding the LRU spinlock with interrupt disabled. On further inspection, it seems like there are two issues: (1) If kswapd on the return from balance_pgdat() could not sleep (i.e. node is still unbalanced), the classzone_idx is unintentionally set to 0 and the whole reclaim cycle of kswapd will try to reclaim only the lowest and smallest zone while traversing the whole memory. (2) Fundamentally isolate_lru_pages() is really bad when the allocation has woken kswapd for a smaller zone on a very large machine running very large jobs. It can hoard the LRU spinlock while skipping over 100s of GiBs of pages. This patch only fixes (1). (2) needs a more fundamental solution. To fix (1), in the kswapd context, if pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx is invalid use the classzone_idx of the previous kswapd loop otherwise use the one the waker has requested.

swap_readpage(): avoid blk_wake_io_task() if !synchronous

2019-07-10T07:52:29+00:00

commit 8751853091998cd31e9e5f1e8206280155af8921 upstream. swap_readpage() sets waiter = bio->bi_private even if synchronous = F, this means that the caller can get the spurious wakeup after return. This can be fatal if blk_wake_io_task() does set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after the caller does set_special_state(), in the worst case the kernel can crash in do_task_dead().

mm, swap: fix THP swap out

2019-07-03T11:13:38+00:00

commit 1a5f439c7c02837d943e528d46501564d4226757 upstream. 0-Day test system reported some OOM regressions for several THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap test cases. These regressions are bisected to 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256"). In the commit, BIO_MAX_PAGES is set to 256 even when THP swap is enabled. So the bio_alloc(gfp_flags, 512) in get_swap_bio() may fail when swapping out THP. That causes the OOM. As in the patch description of 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256"), THP swap should use multi-page bvec to write THP to swap space. So the issue is fixed via doing that in get_swap_bio(). BTW: I remember I have checked the THP swap code when 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256") was merged, and thought the THP swap code needn't to be changed. But apparently, I was wrong. I should have done this at that time.

mm/page_idle.c: fix oops because end_pfn is larger than max_pfn

commit 7298e3b0a149c91323b3205d325e942c3b3b9ef6 upstream. Currently the calcuation of end_pfn can round up the pfn number to more than the actual maximum number of pfns, causing an Oops.

mm: hugetlb: soft-offline: dissolve_free_huge_page() return zero on !PageHuge

2019-07-03T11:13:37+00:00

commit faf53def3b143df11062d87c12afe6afeb6f8cc7 upstream. madvise(MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) often returns -EBUSY when calling soft offline for hugepages with overcommitting enabled. That was caused by the suboptimal code in current soft-offline code. See the following part: ret = migrate_pages(&pagelist, new_page, NULL, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, MIGRATE_SYNC, MR_MEMORY_FAILURE); if (ret) { ... } else { /* * We set PG_hwpoison only when the migration source hugepage * was successfully dissolved, because otherwise hwpoisoned * hugepage remains on free hugepage list, then userspace will * find it as SIGBUS by allocation failure. That's not expected * in soft-offlining. */ ret = dissolve_free_huge_page(page); if (!ret) { if (set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page(page)) num_poisoned_pages_inc(); } } return ret; Here dissolve_free_huge_page() returns -EBUSY if the migration source page was freed into buddy in migrate_pages(), but even in that case we actually has a chance that set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() succeeds. So that means current code gives up offlining too early now. dissolve_free_huge_page() checks that a given hugepage is suitable for dissolving, where we should return success for !PageHuge() case because the given hugepage is considered as already dissolved. This change also affects other callers of dissolve_free_huge_page(), which are cleaned up together.

mm: soft-offline: return -EBUSY if set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails

commit b38e5962f8ed0d2a2b28a887fc2221f7f41db119 upstream. The pass/fail of soft offline should be judged by checking whether the raw error page was finally contained or not (i.e. the result of set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page()), but current code do not work like that. It might lead us to misjudge the test result when set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() fails.
