      mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec · 7225522b
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      
      
      Currently, munlock_vma_range() calls munlock_vma_page on each page in a
      loop, which results in repeated taking and releasing of the lru_lock
      spinlock for isolating pages one by one.  This patch batches the munlock
      operations using an on-stack pagevec, so that isolation is done under
      single lru_lock.  For THP pages, the old behavior is preserved as they
      might be split while putting them into the pagevec.  After this patch, a
      9% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory area with THP
      disabled.
      
      A new function __munlock_pagevec() is introduced that takes a pagevec and:
      1) It clears PageMlocked and isolates all pages under lru_lock.  Zone page
      stats can be also updated using the variant which assumes disabled
      interrupts.  2) It finishes the munlock and lru putback on all pages under
      their lock_page.  Note that previously, lock_page covered also the
      PageMlocked clearing and page isolation, but it is not needed for those
      operations.

      mm: munlock: remove unnecessary call to lru_add_drain() · 586a32ac
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      In munlock_vma_range(), lru_add_drain() is currently called in a loop
      before each munlock_vma_page() call.
      
      This is suboptimal for performance when munlocking many pages.  The
      benefits of per-cpu pagevec for batching the LRU putback are removed since
      the pagevec only holds at most one page from the previous loop's
      iteration.
      
      The lru_add_drain() call also does not serve any purposes for correctness
      - it does not even drain pagavecs of all cpu's.  The munlock code already
      expects and handles situations where a page cannot be isolated from the
      LRU (e.g.  because it is on some per-cpu pagevec).
      
      The history of the (not commented) call also suggest that it appears there
      as an oversight rather than intentionally.  Before commit ff6a6da6 ("mm:
      accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") the call happened only once
      upon entering the function.  The commit has moved the call into the while
      loope.  So while the other changes in the commit improved munlock
      performance for THP pages, it introduced the abovementioned suboptimal
      per-cpu pagevec usage.
      
      Further in history, before commit 408e82b7 ("mm: munlock use
      follow_page"), munlock_vma_pages_range() was just a wrapper around
      __mlock_vma_pages_range which performed both mlock and munlock depending
      on a flag.  However, before ba470de4 ("mmap: handle mlocked pages during
      map, remap, unmap") the function handled only mlock, not munlock.  The
      lru_add_drain call thus comes from the implementation in commit b291f000
      
      
      ("mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable" and was intended only for
      mlocking, not munlocking.  The original intention of draining the LRU
      pagevec at mlock time was to ensure the pages were on the LRU before the
      lock operation so that they could be placed on the unevictable list
      immediately.  There is very little motivation to do the same in the
      munlock path this, particularly for every single page.
      
      This patch therefore removes the call completely.  After removing the
      call, a 10% speedup was measured for munlock() of a 56GB large memory area
      with THP disabled.

      mm: putback_lru_page: remove unnecessary call to page_lru_base_type() · 0ec3b74c
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      The goal of this patch series is to improve performance of munlock() of
      large mlocked memory areas on systems without THP.  This is motivated by
      reported very long times of crash recovery of processes with such areas,
      where munlock() can take several seconds.  See
      http://lwn.net/Articles/548108/
      
      The work was driven by a simple benchmark (to be included in mmtests) that
      mmaps() e.g.  56GB with MAP_LOCKED | MAP_POPULATE and measures the time of
      munlock().  Profiling was performed by attaching operf --pid to the
      process and sending a signal to trigger the munlock() part and then notify
      bach the monitoring wrapper to stop operf, so that only munlock() appears
      in the profile.
      
      The profiles have shown that CPU time is spent mostly by atomic operations
      and repeated locking per single pages. This series aims to reduce both, starting
      from simpler to more complex changes.
      
      Patch 1 performs a simple cleanup in putback_lru_page() so that page lru base
      	type is not determined without being actually needed.
      
      Patch 2 removes an unnecessary call to lru_add_drain() which drains the per-cpu
      	pagevec after each munlocked page is put there.
      
      Patch 3 changes munlock_vma_range() to use an on-stack pagevec for isolating
      	multiple non-THP pages under a single lru_lock instead of locking and
      	processing each page separately.
      
      Patch 4 changes the NR_MLOCK accounting to be called only once per the pvec
      	introduced by previous patch.
      
      Patch 5 uses the introduced pagevec to batch also the work of putback_lru_page
      	when possible, bypassing the per-cpu pvec and associated overhead.
      
      Patch 6 removes a redundant get_page/put_page pair which saves costly atomic
      	operations.
      
      Patch 7 avoids calling follow_page_mask() on each individual page, and obtains
      	multiple page references under a single page table lock where possible.
      
      Measurements were made using 3.11-rc3 as a baseline.  The first set of
      measurements shows the possibly ideal conditions where batching should
      help the most.  All memory is allocated from a single NUMA node and THP is
      disabled.

      The second set of measurements simulates the worst possible conditions for
      batching by using numactl --interleave, so that there is in fact only one
      page per pagevec.  Even in this case the series seems to improve
      performance thanks to reduced atomic operations and removal of
      lru_add_drain().

      For completeness, a third set of measurements shows the situation where
      THP is enabled and allocations are again done on a single NUMA node.  Here
      munlock() is already very fast thanks to huge pages, and this series does
      not compromise that performance.  It seems that the removal of call to
      lru_add_drain() still helps a bit.

      This patch (of 7):
      
      In putback_lru_page() since commit c53954a0
      
       (""mm: remove lru parameter
      from __lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru") it is no longer needed to
      determine lru list via page_lru_base_type().
      
      This patch replaces it with simple flag is_unevictable which says that the
      page was put on the inevictable list.  This is the only information that
      matters in subsequent tests.

      mm: track vma changes with VM_SOFTDIRTY bit · d9104d1c
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      
      
      Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or
      expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this
      situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap,
      loosing soft dirty bit of course.
      
      So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there
      VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in.  When new vma area created (or old expanded)
      we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing
      soft dirty bit.
      
      Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if
      vma area is renewed.

      writeback: fix occasional slow sync(1) · 47df3dde
      Jan Kara authored
      
      
      In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads() will
      submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits
      immediately without doing anything, even though there are dirty inodes in
      the system.  Thus sync(1) will write all the dirty inodes from a
      WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.
      
      Fix the problem by using get_nr_dirty_pages() in wakeup_flusher_threads()
      instead of calculating number of dirty pages manually.  That function also
      takes number of dirty inodes into account.

      mm: fix aio performance regression for database caused by THP · 7cb2ef56
      Khalid Aziz authored
      I am working with a tool that simulates oracle database I/O workload.
      This tool (orion to be specific -
      <http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16638/iodesign.htm#autoId24
      
      >)
      allocates hugetlbfs pages using shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB flag.  It then
      does aio into these pages from flash disks using various common block
      sizes used by database.  I am looking at performance with two of the most
      common block sizes - 1M and 64K.  aio performance with these two block
      sizes plunged after Transparent HugePages was introduced in the kernel.
      Here are performance numbers:
      
      		pre-THP		2.6.39		3.11-rc5
      1M read		8384 MB/s	5629 MB/s	6501 MB/s
      64K read	7867 MB/s	4576 MB/s	4251 MB/s
      
      I have narrowed the performance impact down to the overheads introduced by
      THP in __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() routines.  perf top shows
      >40% of cycles being spent in these two routines.  Every time direct I/O
      to hugetlbfs pages starts, kernel calls get_page() to grab a reference to
      the pages and calls put_page() when I/O completes to put the reference
      away.  THP introduced significant amount of locking overhead to get_page()
      and put_page() when dealing with compound pages because hugepages can be
      split underneath get_page() and put_page().  It added this overhead
      irrespective of whether it is dealing with hugetlbfs pages or transparent
      hugepages.  This resulted in 20%-45% drop in aio performance when using
      hugetlbfs pages.
      
      Since hugetlbfs pages can not be split, there is no reason to go through
      all the locking overhead for these pages from what I can see.  I added
      code to __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() to bypass all the
      locking code when working with hugetlbfs pages.  This improved performance
      significantly.  Performance numbers with this patch:
      
      		pre-THP		3.11-rc5	3.11-rc5 + Patch
      1M read		8384 MB/s	6501 MB/s	8371 MB/s
      64K read	7867 MB/s	4251 MB/s	6510 MB/s
      
      Performance with 64K read is still lower than what it was before THP, but
      still a 53% improvement.  It does mean there is more work to be done but I
      will take a 53% improvement for now.
      
      Please take a look at the following patch and let me know if it looks
      reasonable.

      If kswapd was reclaiming for a high order and resets it to 0 due to
      fragmentation it will still call compact_pgdat.  For the most part, this
      will fail a compaction_suitable() test and not compact but it is
      unnecessarily sloppy.  It could be fixed in the caller but fix it in the
      API instead.

      The memcg_cache_params structure contains the common part and the union,

      another for child caches.
      
      The size of child data is fixed.  The size of the memcg_caches array is
      calculated in runtime.
      
      Currently the size of memcg_cache_params for root caches is calculated
      incorrectly, because it includes the size of parameters for child caches.
      
      ssize_t size = memcg_caches_array_size(num_groups);

      mm: migrate: check movability of hugepage in unmap_and_move_huge_page() · 83467efb
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      
      
      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.

      mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage · c8721bbb
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      
      
      Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a
      hugepage is considered as an unmovable page.  But now with this patch
      series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
      can offline such memory blocks.
      
      What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to
      decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy
      pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining
      in the memory block intervene the memory offlining.  For this reason we
      introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
      dissolve_free_huge_pages().
      
      Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
      migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
      over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
      allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().
      
      As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
      over them because it's larger than memory block.  So we now simply leave
      it to fail as it is.

      Note that using pmd_huge/pud_huge assumes that hugepages are pointed to by
      pmd/pud.  This is not true in some architectures implementing hugepage
      with other mechanisms like ia64, but it's OK because pmd_huge/pud_huge
      simply return 0 in such arch and page walker simply ignores such

      mm: soft-offline: use migrate_pages() instead of migrate_huge_page() · b8ec1cee
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      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 189ebff2
      
       ("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.

      mm: migrate: make core migration code aware of hugepage · 31caf665
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      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.

      mm, hugetlb: return a reserved page to a reserved pool if failed · 07443a85
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      
      
      If we fail with a reserved page, just calling put_page() is not
      sufficient, because put_page() invoke free_huge_page() at last step and it
      doesn't know whether a page comes from a reserved pool or not.  So it
      doesn't do anything related to reserved count.  This makes reserve count
      lower than how we need, because reserve count already decrease in
      dequeue_huge_page_vma().  This patch fix this situation.

      mm/hotplug: remove stop_machine() from try_offline_node() · 0f1cfe9d
      Toshi Kani authored
      
      
      lock_device_hotplug() serializes hotplug & online/offline operations.  The
      lock is held in common sysfs online/offline interfaces and ACPI hotplug
      code paths.
      
      And here are the code paths:
      
      - CPU & Mem online/offline via sysfs online
      	store_online()->lock_device_hotplug()
      
      - Mem online via sysfs state:
      	store_mem_state()->lock_device_hotplug()
      
      - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-add:
      	acpi_scan_bus_device_check()->lock_device_hotplug()
      
      - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-delete:
      	acpi_scan_hot_remove()->lock_device_hotplug()
      
      try_offline_node() off-lines a node if all memory sections and cpus are
      removed on the node.  It is called from acpi_processor_remove() and
      acpi_memory_remove_memory()->remove_memory() paths, both of which are in
      the ACPI hotplug code.
      
      try_offline_node() calls stop_machine() to stop all cpus while checking
      all cpu status with the assumption that the caller is not protected from
      CPU hotplug or CPU online/offline operations.  However, the caller is
      always serialized with lock_device_hotplug().  Also, the code needs to be
      properly serialized with a lock, not by stopping all cpus at a random
      place with stop_machine().
      
      This patch removes the use of stop_machine() in try_offline_node() and
      adds comments to try_offline_node() and remove_memory() that
      lock_device_hotplug() is required.

      Toshi Kani authored
      
      
      add_memory() and remove_memory() can only handle a memory range aligned
      with section.  There are problems when an unaligned range is added and
      then deleted as follows:
      
       - add_memory() with an unaligned range succeeds, but __add_pages()
         called from add_memory() adds a whole section of pages even though
         a given memory range is less than the section size.
       - remove_memory() to the added unaligned range hits BUG_ON() in
         __remove_pages().
      
      This patch changes add_memory() and remove_memory() to check if a given
      memory range is aligned with section at the beginning.  As the result,
      add_memory() fails with -EINVAL when a given range is unaligned, and does
      not add such memory range.  This prevents remove_memory() to be called
      with an unaligned range as well.  Note that remove_memory() has to use
      BUG_ON() since this function cannot fail.

      readahead: make context readahead more conservative · 2cad4018
      Fengguang Wu authored
      
      
      This helps performance on moderately dense random reads on SSD.
      
      Transaction-Per-Second numbers provided by Taobao:
      
      		QPS	case
      		-------------------------------------------------------
      		7536	disable context readahead totally
      w/ patch:	7129	slower size rampup and start RA on the 3rd read
      		6717	slower size rampup
      w/o patch:	5581	unmodified context readahead
      
      Before, readahead will be started whenever reading page N+1 when it happen
      to read N recently.  After patch, we'll only start readahead when *three*
      random reads happen to access pages N, N+1, N+2.  The probability of this
      happening is extremely low for pure random reads, unless they are very
      dense, which actually deserves some readahead.
      
      Also start with a smaller readahead window.  The impact to interleaved
      sequential reads should be small, because for a long run stream, the the
      small readahead window rampup phase is negletable.
      
      The context readahead actually benefits clustered random reads on HDD
      whose seek cost is pretty high.  However as SSD is increasingly used for
      random read workloads it's better for the context readahead to concentrate
      on interleaved sequential reads.
      
      Another SSD rand read test from Miao
      
              # file size:        2GB
              # read IO amount: 625MB
              sysbench --test=fileio          \
                      --max-requests=10000    \
                      --num-threads=1         \
                      --file-num=1            \

                      --file-fsync-end=off    run
      
      shows the performance of btrfs grows up from 69MB/s to 121MB/s, ext4 from

      lib/genalloc.c: fix overflow of ending address of memory chunk · 674470d9
      Joonyoung Shim authored
      
      
      In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk
      (inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of
      memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of
      correct ending address.
      
      The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the
      memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g.  when starting
      address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending
      address will be 0x100000000.
      
      Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

      mm/hotplug: remove unnecessary BUG_ON in __offline_pages() · 37b000b6
      Xishi Qiu authored
      
      
      I think we can remove "BUG_ON(start_pfn >= end_pfn)" in __offline_pages(),
      because in memory_block_action() "nr_pages = PAGES_PER_SECTION * sections_per_block"
      is always greater than 0.
      
      memory_block_action()
      	offline_pages()
      		__offline_pages()
      			BUG_ON(start_pfn >= end_pfn)
      
      In v2.6.32, If info->length==0, this way may hit this BUG_ON().
      acpi_memory_disable_device()
      	remove_memory(info->start_addr, info->length)
      			offline_pages()
      
      A later Fujitsu patch renamed this function and the BUG_ON() is
      unnecessary.

      mm, vmalloc: use well-defined find_last_bit() func · b136be5e
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      
      
      Our intention in here is to find last_bit within the region to flush.
      There is well-defined function, find_last_bit() for this purpose and its
      performance may be slightly better than current implementation.  So change
      it.

      vmstat: use this_cpu() to avoid irqon/off sequence in refresh_cpu_vm_stats · fbc2edb0
      Christoph Lameter authored
      
      
      Disabling interrupts repeatedly can be avoided in the inner loop if we use
      a this_cpu operation.
