mm, page_alloc: check for max order in hot path

2018-12-01T08:37:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit c63ae43ba53bc432b414fd73dd5f4b01fcb1ab43 ]

Konstantin has noticed that kvmalloc might trigger the following
warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6676 at mm/vmstat.c:986 __fragmentation_index+0x54/0x60

the problem is that we only check for an out of bound order in the slow
path and the node reclaim might happen from the fast path already.  This
is fixable by making sure that kvmalloc doesn't ever use kmalloc for
requests that are larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE but this also shows that
the code is rather fragile.  A recent UBSAN report just underlines that
by the following report

Note that this is not a kvmalloc path.  It is just that the fast path
really depends on having sanitzed order as well.  Therefore move the
order check to the fast path.

mm, memory_hotplug: check zone_movable in has_unmovable_pages

2018-12-01T08:37:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9d7899999c62c1a81129b76d2a6ecbc4655e1597 ]

Page state checks are racy. Under a heavy memory workload (e.g. stress
-m 200 -t 2h) it is quite easy to hit a race window when the page is
allocated but its state is not fully populated yet. A debugging patch to
dump the struct page state shows

has_unmovable_pages: pfn:0x10dfec00, found:0x1, count:0x0
page:ffffea0437fb0000 count:1 mapcount:1 mapping:ffff880e05239841 index:0x7f26e5000 compound_mapcount: 1
flags: 0x5fffffc0090034(uptodate|lru|active|head|swapbacked)

Note that the state has been checked for both PageLRU and PageSwapBacked
already. Closing this race completely would require some sort of retry
logic. This can be tricky and error prone (think of potential endless
or long taking loops).

Workaround this problem for movable zones at least. Such a zone should
only contain movable pages. Commit 15c30bc09085 ("mm, memory_hotplug:
make has_unmovable_pages more robust") has told us that this is not
strictly true though. Bootmem pages should be marked reserved though so
we can move the original check after the PageReserved check. Pages from
other zones are still prone to races but we even do not pretend that
memory hotremove works for those so pre-mature failure doesn't hurt that
much.

mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration

2018-10-02T09:31:14+00:00

Rate limiting of page migrations due to automatic NUMA balancing was
introduced to mitigate the worst-case scenario of migrating at high
frequency due to false sharing or slowly ping-ponging between nodes.
Since then, a lot of effort was spent on correctly identifying these
pages and avoiding unnecessary migrations and the safety net may no longer
be required.

Jirka Hladky reported a regression in 4.17 due to a scheduler patch that
avoids spreading STREAM tasks wide prematurely. However, once the task
was properly placed, it delayed migrating the memory due to rate limiting.
Increasing the limit fixed the problem for him.

Currently, the limit is hard-coded and does not account for the real
capabilities of the hardware. Even if an estimate was attempted, it would
not properly account for the number of memory controllers and it could
not account for the amount of bandwidth used for normal accesses. Rather
than fudging, this patch simply eliminates the rate limiting.

However, Jirka reports that a STREAM configuration using multiple
processes achieved similar performance to 4.16. In local tests, this patch
improved performance of STREAM relative to the baseline but it is somewhat
machine-dependent. Most workloads show little or not performance difference
implying that there is not a heavily reliance on the throttling mechanism
and it is safe to remove.

mm/hugetlb: filter out hugetlb pages if HUGEPAGE migration is not supported.

2018-09-04T23:45:02+00:00

When scanning for movable pages, filter out Hugetlb pages if hugepage
migration is not supported.  Without this we hit infinte loop in
__offline_pages() where we do

	pfn = scan_movable_pages(start_pfn, end_pfn);
	if (pfn) { /* We have movable pages */
		ret = do_migrate_range(pfn, end_pfn);
		goto repeat;
	}

Fix this by checking hugepage_migration_supported both in
has_unmovable_pages which is the primary backoff mechanism for page
offlining and for consistency reasons also into scan_movable_pages
because it doesn't make any sense to return a pfn to non-migrateable
huge page.

This issue was revealed by, but not caused by 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm,
memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early").

mm: soft-offline: close the race against page allocation

2018-08-24T01:48:43+00:00

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline.  This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."

Two main changes of this patch are:

- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
  in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
  freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
  after put_page() returns,

- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
  freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
  that is decided to be allocated soon.

mm/page_alloc: Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug

2018-08-22T17:52:45+00:00

Currently, whenever a new node is created/re-used from the memhotplug
path, we call free_area_init_node()->free_area_init_core().  But there is
some code that we do not really need to run when we are coming from such
path.

free_area_init_core() performs the following actions:

1) Initializes pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more.
2) Account # nr_all_pages and # nr_kernel_pages. These values are used later on
   when creating hash tables.
3) Account number of managed_pages per zone, substracting dma_reserved and
   memmap pages.
4) Initializes some fields of the zone structure data
5) Calls init_currently_empty_zone to initialize all the freelists
6) Calls memmap_init to initialize all pages belonging to certain zone

When called from memhotplug path, free_area_init_core() only performs
actions #1 and #4.

Action #2 is pointless as the zones do not have any pages since either the
node was freed, or we are re-using it, eitherway all zones belonging to
this node should have 0 pages.  For the same reason, action #3 results
always in manages_pages being 0.

Action #5 and #6 are performed later on when onlining the pages:
 online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->init_currently_empty_zone()
 online_pages()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->memmap_init_zone()

This patch does two things:

First, moves the node/zone initializtion to their own function, so it
allows us to create a small version of free_area_init_core, where we only
perform:

1) Initialization of pgdat internals, such as spinlock, waitqueues and more
4) Initialization of some fields of the zone structure data

These two functions are: pgdat_init_internals() and zone_init_internals().

The second thing this patch does, is to introduce
free_area_init_core_hotplug(), the memhotplug version of
free_area_init_core():

Currently, we call free_area_init_node() from the memhotplug path.  In
there, we set some pgdat's fields, and call calculate_node_totalpages().
calculate_node_totalpages() calculates the # of pages the node has.

Since the node is either new, or we are re-using it, the zones belonging
to this node should not have any pages, so there is no point to calculate
this now.

Actually, we re-set these values to 0 later on with the calls to:

reset_node_managed_pages()
reset_node_present_pages()

The # of pages per node and the # of pages per zone will be calculated when
onlining the pages:

online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_zone_range()
online_pages()->move_pfn_range()->move_pfn_range_to_zone()->resize_pgdat_range()

Also, since free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node will now only get called during early init, let us replace
__paginginit with __init, so their code gets freed up.

__paginginit is the same thing as __meminit except for platforms without
sparsemem, there it is defined as __init.

Remove __paginginit and use __meminit.  Use __ref in one single function
that merges __meminit and __init sections: setup_usemap().
