mm: introduce page_vma_mapped_walk()

2017-02-25T01:46:55Z

Introduce a new interface to check if a page is mapped into a vma. It aims to address shortcomings of page_check_address{,_transhuge}. Existing interface is not able to handle PTE-mapped THPs: it only finds the first PTE. The rest lefted unnoticed. page_vma_mapped_walk() iterates over all possible mapping of the page in the vma.

mm, rmap: handle anon_vma_prepare() common case inline

2016-12-13T02:55:08Z

anon_vma_prepare() is mostly a large "if (unlikely(...))" block, as the expected common case is that an anon_vma already exists. We could turn the condition around and return 0, but it also makes sense to do it inline and avoid a call for the common case. Bloat-o-meter naturally shows that inlining the check has some code size costs: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 475/-373 (102) function old new delta __anon_vma_prepare - 359 +359 handle_mm_fault 2744 2796 +52 hugetlb_cow 1146 1170 +24 hugetlb_fault 2123 2145 +22 wp_page_copy 1469 1487 +18 anon_vma_prepare 373 - -373 Checking the asm however confirms that the hot paths now avoid a call, which is moved away.

rmap: support file thp

2016-07-26T23:19:19Z

Naive approach: on mapping/unmapping the page as compound we update ->_mapcount on each 4k page. That's not efficient, but it's not obvious how we can optimize this. We can look into optimization later. PG_double_map optimization doesn't work for file pages since lifecycle of file pages is different comparing to anon pages: file page can be mapped again at any time.

mm: thp: refix false positive BUG in page_move_anon_rmap()

2016-07-15T05:54:27Z

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap() is more trouble than it's worth: the syzkaller fuzzer hit it again. It's still wrong for some THP cases, because linear_page_index() was never intended to apply to addresses before the start of a vma. That's easily fixed with a signed long cast inside linear_page_index(); and Dmitry has tested such a patch, to verify the false positive. But why extend linear_page_index() just for this case? when the avoidance in page_move_anon_rmap() has already grown ugly, and there's no reason for the check at all (nothing else there is using address or index). Remove address arg from page_move_anon_rmap(), remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, remove CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment. And one more thing: should the compound_head(page) be done inside or outside page_move_anon_rmap()? It's usually pushed down to the lowest level nowadays (and mm/memory.c shows no other explicit use of it), so I think it's better done in page_move_anon_rmap() than by caller.

mm: make remove_migration_ptes() beyond mm/migration.c

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

Make remove_migration_ptes() available to be used in split_huge_page(). New parameter 'locked' added: as with try_to_umap() we need a way to indicate that caller holds rmap lock. We also shouldn't try to mlock() pte-mapped huge pages: pte-mapeed THP pages are never mlocked. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

rmap: extend try_to_unmap() to be usable by split_huge_page()

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

Add support for two ttu_flags: - TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD would split PMD if it's there, before trying to unmap page; - TTU_RMAP_LOCKED indicates that caller holds relevant rmap lock; Also, change rwc->done to !page_mapcount() instead of !page_mapped(). try_to_unmap() works on pte level, so we are really interested in the mappedness of this small page rather than of the compound page it's a part of.

rmap: introduce rmap_walk_locked()

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

This patchset rewrites freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() using try_to_unmap() and remove_migration_ptes(). Result is much simpler, but somewhat slower. Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP: Baseline 20.21 +/- 0.393 Patched 20.73 +/- 0.082 Slowdown 1.03x It's 3% slower, comparing to 14% in v1. I don't it should be a stopper. Splitting of PTE-mapped pages slowed more. But this is not a common case. Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP: Baseline 20.39 +/- 0.225 Patched 22.43 +/- 0.496 Slowdown 1.10x rmap_walk_locked() is the same as rmap_walk(), but the caller takes care of the relevant rmap lock. This is preparation for switching THP splitting from custom rmap walk in freeze_page()/unfreeze_page() to the generic one. There is no support for KSM pages for now: not clear which lock is implied.

mm: replace vma_lock_anon_vma with anon_vma_lock_read/write

2016-02-06T02:10:40Z

Sequence vma_lock_anon_vma() - vma_unlock_anon_vma() isn't safe if anon_vma appeared between lock and unlock. We have to check anon_vma first or call anon_vma_prepare() to be sure that it's here. There are only few users of these legacy helpers. Let's get rid of them. This patch fixes anon_vma lock imbalance in validate_mm(). Write lock isn't required here, read lock is enough. And reorders expand_downwards/expand_upwards: security_mmap_addr() and wrapping-around check don't have to be under anon vma lock.

mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)

2016-01-16T01:56:32Z

Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE). The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens. Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation + zeroing). Jason Evans said: : Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED : (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for : several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this : out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it : in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it : increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the : benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still : enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement. : : Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used : applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE. The ones that immediately : come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB. I don't have much insight : into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see : MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications : linked with the integrated jemalloc. : : jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel. : In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's : available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux : (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of : MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly : sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this : remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux. : Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially. How it works: When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding. One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM shouldn't discard the page. However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page wrongly. For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by MADV_FREE. However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future. Look at below example for detail. ptr = malloc(); memset(ptr); .. .. .. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out .. .. var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty .. .. madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page. .. .. .. .. heavy memory pressure again. .. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page .. has *PG_dirty* To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could clear it only if we own it exclusively. Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD) barrios@blaptop:~/benchmark/ebizzy$ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 12 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-11 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 1 Socket(s): 12 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 2 Stepping: 3 CPU MHz: 3200.185 BogoMIPS: 6400.53 Virtualization: VT-x Hypervisor vendor: KVM Virtualization type: full L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 4096K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-11 ebizzy benchmark(./ebizzy -S 10 -n 512) Higher avg is better. vanilla-jemalloc MADV_free-jemalloc 1 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 2961.90 avg: 12069.70 std: 71.96(2.43%) std: 186.68(1.55%) max: 3070.00 max: 12385.00 min: 2796.00 min: 11746.00 2 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 5020.00 avg: 17827.00 std: 264.87(5.28%) std: 358.52(2.01%) max: 5244.00 max: 18760.00 min: 4251.00 min: 17382.00 4 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 8988.80 avg: 27930.80 std: 1175.33(13.08%) std: 3317.33(11.88%) max: 9508.00 max: 30879.00 min: 5477.00 min: 21024.00 8 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 13036.50 avg: 33739.40 std: 170.67(1.31%) std: 5146.22(15.25%) max: 13371.00 max: 40572.00 min: 12785.00 min: 24088.00 16 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11092.40 avg: 31424.20 std: 710.60(6.41%) std: 3763.89(11.98%) max: 12446.00 max: 36635.00 min: 9949.00 min: 25669.00 32 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11067.00 avg: 34495.80 std: 971.06(8.77%) std: 2721.36(7.89%) max: 12010.00 max: 38598.00 min: 9002.00 min: 30636.00 In summary, MADV_FREE is about much faster than MADV_DONTNEED.
