mm/memcg: set memcg when splitting page

2021-03-30T12:31:47Z

commit e1baddf8475b06cc56f4bafecf9a32a124343d9f upstream. As described in the split_page() comment, for the non-compound high order page, the sub-pages must be freed individually. If the memcg of the first page is valid, the tail pages cannot be uncharged when be freed. For example, when alloc_pages_exact is used to allocate 1MB continuous physical memory, 2MB is charged(kmemcg is enabled and __GFP_ACCOUNT is set). When make_alloc_exact free the unused 1MB and free_pages_exact free the applied 1MB, actually, only 4KB(one page) is uncharged. Therefore, the memcg of the tail page needs to be set when splitting a page. Michel: There are at least two explicit users of __GFP_ACCOUNT with alloc_exact_pages added recently. See 7efe8ef274024 ("KVM: arm64: Allocate stage-2 pgd pages with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT") and c419621873713 ("KVM: s390: Add memcg accounting to KVM allocations"), so this is not just a theoretical issue.

mm/page_alloc.c: refactor initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout

2021-03-17T16:06:37Z

commit 0740a50b9baa4472cfb12442df4b39e2712a64a4 upstream. There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory. This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory. Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields of this page are set to default values and it is marked as Reserved. init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero. Before commit 73a6e474cb37 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") the holes inside a zone were re-initialized during memmap_init() and got their zone/node links right. However, after that commit nothing updates the struct pages representing such holes. On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for instance in a configuration below: # grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem 7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type 7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM unset zone link in struct page will trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page); in set_pfnblock_flags_mask() when called with a struct page from a range other than E820_TYPE_RAM because there are pages in the range of ZONE_DMA32 but the unset zone link in struct page makes them appear as a part of ZONE_DMA. Interleave initialization of the unavailable pages with the normal initialization of memory map, so that zone and node information will be properly set on struct pages that are not backed by the actual memory. With this change the pages for holes inside a zone will get proper zone/node links and the pages that are not spanned by any node will get links to the adjacent zone/node. The holes between nodes will be prepended to the zone/node above the hole and the trailing pages in the last section that will be appended to the zone/node below.

mm: memmap defer init doesn't work as expected

2021-01-06T13:56:50Z

commit dc2da7b45ffe954a0090f5d0310ed7b0b37d2bd2 upstream. VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb376 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it. Before the commit: [0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap [0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63 [0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448 With commit [0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap [0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63 [2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448 The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected. Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone, to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of the last zone in that numa node. However, since commit 73a6e474cb376, function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each region. E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two memory regions in node 2. The current code will mistakenly initialize the whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]. In fact, we only expect to see that there's only one memory section's memmap initialized. That's why more time is costed at the time. [ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x0009ffff] [ 0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00100000-0xbfffffff] [ 0.008843] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x55ffffffff] [ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x5600000000-0xaaffffffff] [ 0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff] [ 0.008845] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff] Now, let's add a parameter 'zone_end_pfn' to memmap_init_zone() to pass down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

mm: don't wake kswapd prematurely when watermark boosting is disabled

2020-12-30T10:53:55Z

[ Upstream commit 597c892038e08098b17ccfe65afd9677e6979800 ] On 2-node NUMA hosts we see bursts of kswapd reclaim and subsequent pressure spikes and stalls from cache refaults while there is plenty of free memory in the system. Usually, kswapd is woken up when all eligible nodes in an allocation are full. But the code related to watermark boosting can wake kswapd on one full node while the other one is mostly empty. This may be justified to fight fragmentation, but is currently unconditionally done whether watermark boosting is occurring or not. In our case, many of our workloads' throughput scales with available memory, and pure utilization is a more tangible concern than trends around longer-term fragmentation. As a result we generally disable watermark boosting. Wake kswapd only woken when watermark boosting is requested.

page_frag: Recover from memory pressure

2020-11-18T23:21:56Z

The ethernet driver may allocate skb (and skb->data) via napi_alloc_skb(). This ends up to page_frag_alloc() to allocate skb->data from page_frag_cache->va. During the memory pressure, page_frag_cache->va may be allocated as pfmemalloc page. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true as skb->data is from page_frag_cache->va. The skb will be dropped if the sock (receiver) does not have SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is expected behaviour under memory pressure. However, once kernel is not under memory pressure any longer (suppose large amount of memory pages are just reclaimed), the page_frag_alloc() may still re-use the prior pfmemalloc page_frag_cache->va to allocate skb->data. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true unless page_frag_cache->va is re-allocated, even if the kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Here is how kernel runs into issue. 1. The kernel is under memory pressure and allocation of PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_ORDER in __page_frag_cache_refill() will fail. Instead, the pfmemalloc page is allocated for page_frag_cache->va. 2: All skb->data from page_frag_cache->va (pfmemalloc) will have skb->pfmemalloc=true. The skb will always be dropped by sock without SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is an expected behaviour. 3. Suppose a large amount of pages are reclaimed and kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. We expect skb->pfmemalloc drop will not happen. 4. Unfortunately, page_frag_alloc() does not proactively re-allocate page_frag_alloc->va and will always re-use the prior pfmemalloc page. The skb->pfmemalloc is always true even kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Fix this by freeing and re-allocating the page instead of recycling it.

mm: rename page_order() to buddy_order()

2020-10-16T18:11:19Z

The current page_order() can only be called on pages in the buddy allocator. For compound pages, you have to use compound_order(). This is confusing and led to a bug, so rename page_order() to buddy_order().
