mm/thp: allow dropping THP from page cache

2019-10-19T10:32:33+00:00

Once a THP is added to the page cache, it cannot be dropped via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.  Fix this issue with proper handling in
invalidate_mapping_pages().

mm/vmscan.c: support removing arbitrary sized pages from mapping

2019-10-19T10:32:32+00:00

__remove_mapping() assumes that pages can only be either base pages or
HPAGE_PMD_SIZE.  Ask the page what size it is.

mm/memcontrol: update lruvec counters in mem_cgroup_move_account

2019-10-19T10:32:32+00:00

Mapped, dirty and writeback pages are also counted in per-lruvec stats.
These counters needs update when page is moved between cgroups.

Currently is nobody *consuming* the lruvec versions of these counters and
that there is no user-visible effect.

hugetlbfs: don't access uninitialized memmaps in pfn_range_valid_gigantic()

2019-10-19T10:32:32+00:00

Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger
kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.  They should not get
touched.

Let's make sure that we only consider online memory (managed by the
buddy) that has initialized memmaps.  ZONE_DEVICE is not applicable.

page_zone() will call page_to_nid(), which will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PagePoisoned(page), page) with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING
and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS when called on uninitialized memmaps.  This
can be the case when an offline memory block (e.g., never onlined) is
spanned by a zone.

Note: As explained by Michal in [1], alloc_contig_range() will verify
the range.  So it boils down to the wrong access in this function.

mm: memblock: do not enforce current limit for memblock_phys* family

2019-10-19T10:32:32+00:00

Until commit 92d12f9544b7 ("memblock: refactor internal allocation
functions") the maximal address for memblock allocations was forced to
memblock.current_limit only for the allocation functions returning
virtual address.  The changes introduced by that commit moved the limit
enforcement into the allocation core and as a result the allocation
functions returning physical address also started to limit allocations
to memblock.current_limit.

This caused breakage of etnaviv GPU driver:

  etnaviv etnaviv: bound 130000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
  etnaviv etnaviv: bound 134000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
  etnaviv etnaviv: bound 2204000.gpu (ops gpu_ops)
  etnaviv-gpu 130000.gpu: model: GC2000, revision: 5108
  etnaviv-gpu 130000.gpu: command buffer outside valid memory window

  etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: model: GC355, revision: 1215
  etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: Ignoring GPU with VG and FE2.0

Restore the behaviour of memblock_phys* family so that these functions
will not enforce memblock.current_limit.

mm: memcg: get number of pages on the LRU list in memcgroup base on lru_zone_size

2019-10-19T10:32:32+00:00

Commit 1a61ab8038e72 ("mm: memcontrol: replace zone summing with
lruvec_page_state()") has made lruvec_page_state to use per-cpu counters
instead of calculating it directly from lru_zone_size with an idea that
this would be more effective.

Tim has reported that this is not really the case for their database
benchmark which is showing an opposite results where lruvec_page_state
is taking up a huge chunk of CPU cycles (about 25% of the system time
which is roughly 7% of total cpu cycles) on 5.3 kernels.  The workload
is running on a larger machine (96cpus), it has many cgroups (500) and
it is heavily direct reclaim bound.

Tim Chen said:

The likely culprit is the cache traffic the lruvec_page_state_local
generates.  Dave Hansen says:

: I was thinking purely of the cache footprint.  If it's reading
: pn->lruvec_stat_local->count[idx] is three separate cachelines, so 192
: bytes of cache *96 CPUs = 18k of data, mostly read-only.  1 cgroup would
: be 18k of data for the whole system and the caching would be pretty
: efficient and all 18k would probably survive a tight page fault loop in
: the L1.  500 cgroups would be ~90k of data per CPU thread which doesn't
: fit in the L1 and probably wouldn't survive a tight page fault loop if
: both logical threads were banging on different cgroups.
:
: It's just a theory, but it's why I noted the number of cgroups when I
: initially saw this show up in profiles

Fix the regression by partially reverting the said commit and calculate
the lru size explicitly.
