Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are... - percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed. This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for writeback IOs. Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7 ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator") just now. - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on 64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects directly. - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging. There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of conflicts with s390 and other trees.

Pull libata update from Tejun Heo: "AHCI is getting per-port irq handling and locks for better scalability. The gain is not huge but measureable with multiple high iops devices connected to the same host; however, the value of threaded IRQ handling seems negligible for AHCI and it likely will revert to non-threaded handling soon. Another noteworthy change is George Spelvin's "libata: Un-break ATA blacklist". During 3.17 devel cycle, the libata blacklist glob matching got generalized and rewritten; unfortunately, the patch forgot to swap arguments to match the new match function and ended up breaking blacklist matching completely.

It appears that gcc is better at optimising a double call to min and max rather than open coded min3 and max3. This can be observed here: $ cat min-max.c #define min(x, y) ({ \ typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \ typeof(y) _min2 = (y); \ (void) (&_min1 == &_min2); \ _min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; }) #define min3(x, y, z) ({ \ typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \ typeof(y) _min2 = (y); \ typeof(z) _min3 = (z); \ (void) (&_min1 == &_min2); \ (void) (&_min1 == &_min3); \ _min1 < _min2 ?

For now, there are NCHUNKS of 64 freelists in zbud_pool, the last unbuddied[63] freelist linked with all zbud pages which have free chunks of 63. Calculating according to context of num_free_chunks(), our max chunk number of unbuddied zbud page is 62, so none of zbud pages will be added/removed in last freelist, but still we will try to find an unbuddied zbud page in the last unused freelist, it is unneeded. This patch redefines NCHUNKS to 63 as free chunk number in one zbud page, hence we can decrease size of zpool and avoid accessing the last unused freelist whenever failing to allocate zbud from freelist in zbud_alloc.

Change zsmalloc init_zspage() logic to iterate through each object on each of its pages, checking the offset to verify the object is on the current page before linking it into the zspage. The current zsmalloc init_zspage free object linking code has logic that relies on there only being one page per zspage when PAGE_SIZE is a multiple of class->size. It calculates the number of objects for the current page, and iterates through all of them plus one, to account for the assumed partial object at the end of the page. While this currently works, the logic can be simplified to just link the object at each successive offset until the offset is larger than PAGE_SIZE, which does not rely on PAGE_SIZE being a multiple of class->size.

`notify_free' device attribute accounts the number of slot free notifications and internally represents the number of zram_free_page() calls. Slot free notifications are sent only when device is used as a swap device, hence `notify_free' is used only for swap devices. Since f4659d8e (zram: support REQ_DISCARD) ZRAM handles yet another one free notification (also via zram_free_page() call) -- REQ_DISCARD requests, which are sent by a filesystem, whenever some data blocks are discarded. However, there is no way to know the number of notifications in the latter case. Use `notify_free' to account the number of pages freed by zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify(). Depending on usage scenario `notify_free' represents: a) the number of pages freed because of slot free notifications, which is equal to the number of swap_slot_free_notify() calls, so there is no behaviour change b) the number of pages freed because of REQ_DISCARD notifications Signed-off-by:

Normally, zram user could get maximum memory usage zram consumed via polling mem_used_total with sysfs in userspace. But it has a critical problem because user can miss peak memory usage during update inverval of polling. For avoiding that, user should poll it with shorter interval(ie, 0.0000000001s) with mlocking to avoid page fault delay when memory pressure is heavy. It would be troublesome. This patch adds new knob "mem_used_max" so user could see the maximum memory usage easily via reading the knob and reset it via "echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/mem_used_max". Signed-off-by:

Since zram has no control feature to limit memory usage, it makes hard to manage system memrory. This patch adds new knob "mem_limit" via sysfs to set up the a limit so that zram could fail allocation once it reaches the limit. In addition, user could change the limit in runtime so that he could manage the memory more dynamically. Initial state is no limit so it doesn't break old behavior.

zs_get_total_size_bytes returns a amount of memory zsmalloc consumed with *byte unit* but zsmalloc operates *page unit* rather than byte unit so let's change the API so benefit we could get is that reduce unnecessary overhead (ie, change page unit with byte unit) in zsmalloc. Since return type is pages, "zs_get_total_pages" is better than "zs_get_total_size_bytes". Signed-off-by:

Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can deplete system memory. Users have asked for a limit several times as even without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the platform. This patchset adds the feature. Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used frequently in later patches for the new feature. Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT). Patch 3 adds new feature. I added the feature into zram layer, not zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary branch of zsmalloc. In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc easily but vice versa would be painful. Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total and ensures transient max are not missed. This patch (of 4): pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from each size_class to report the sum. It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov. This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]). Signed-off-by:

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (shared) in order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree. In addition, this guarantees that the address space will remain intact during the CPU flushing.

vmstat workers are used for folding counter differentials into the zone, per node and global counters at certain time intervals. They currently run at defined intervals on all processors which will cause some holdoff for processors that need minimal intrusion by the OS. The current vmstat_update mechanism depends on a deferrable timer firing every other second by default which registers a work queue item that runs on the local CPU, with the result that we have 1 interrupt and one additional schedulable task on each CPU every 2 seconds If a workload indeed causes VM activity or multiple tasks are running on a CPU, then there are probably bigger issues to deal with. However, some workloads dedicate a CPU for a single CPU bound task. This is done in high performance computing, in high frequency financial applications, in networking (Intel DPDK, EZchip NPS) and with the advent of systems with more and more CPUs over time, this may become more and more common to do since when one has enough CPUs one cares less about efficiently sharing a CPU with other tasks and more about efficiently monopolizing a CPU per task. The difference of having this timer firing and workqueue kernel thread scheduled per second can be enormous. An artificial test measuring the worst case time to do a simple "i++" in an endless loop on a bare metal system and under Linux on an isolated CPU with dynticks and with and without this patch, have Linux match the bare metal performance (~700 cycles) with this patch and loose by couple of orders of magnitude (~200k cycles) without it[*]. The loss occurs for something that just calculates statistics. For networking applications, for example, this could be the difference between dropping packets or sustaining line rate. Statistics are important and useful, but it would be great if there would be a way to not cause statistics gathering produce a huge performance difference. This patche does just that. This patch creates a vmstat shepherd worker that monitors the per cpu differentials on all processors. If there are differentials on a processor then a vmstat worker local to the processors with the differentials is created. That worker will then start folding the diffs in regular intervals. Should the worker find that there is no work to be done then it will make the shepherd worker monitor the differentials again. With this patch it is possible then to have periods longer than 2 seconds without any OS event on a "cpu" (hardware thread). The patch shows a very minor increased in system performance. hackbench -s 512 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P Results before the patch: Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.992 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.971 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 5.063 Hackbench after the patch: Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.973 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.990 Running in process mode with 15 groups using 50 file descriptors each (== 750 tasks) Each sender will pass 2000 messages of 512 bytes Time: 4.993 [fengguang.wu@intel.com: cpu_stat_off can be static] Signed-off-by:

Increase the buffer-head per-CPU LRU size to allow efficient filesystem operations that access many blocks for each transaction. For example, creating a file in a large ext4 directory with quota enabled will access multiple buffer heads and will overflow the LRU at the default 8-block LRU size: * parent directory inode table block (ctime, nlinks for subdirs) * new inode bitmap * inode table block * 2 quota blocks * directory leaf block (not reused, but pollutes one cache entry) * 2 levels htree blocks (only one is reused, other pollutes cache) * 2 levels indirect/index blocks (only one is reused) The buffer-head per-CPU LRU size is raised to 16, as it shows in metadata performance benchmarks up to 10% gain for create, 4% for lookup and 7% for destroy.

Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON. Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate", "balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate". They accumulate balloon activity. Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate) pages. All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON. It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature. Currently virtio-balloon is the only user. Signed-off-by:

Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags inside struct anon_vma. Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation: * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works: balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with balloon an all ability for further migration. * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically, this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages. * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate: balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they use trylock_page() for locking. This patch fixes all of them. Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier. PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to the balloon device.
