Currently functions in zsmalloc.c does not arranged in a readable and
reasonable sequence. With the more and more functions added, we may
meet below inconvenience. For example:
Current functions:
void zs_init()
{
}
static void get_maxobj_per_zspage()
{
}
Then I want to add a func_1() which is called from zs_init(), and this
new added function func_1() will used get_maxobj_per_zspage() which is
defined below zs_init().
void func_1()
{
get_maxobj_per_zspage()
}
void zs_init()
{
func_1()
}
static void get_maxobj_per_zspage()
{
}
This will cause compiling issue. So we must add a declaration:
static void get_maxobj_per_zspage();
before func_1() if we do not put get_maxobj_per_zspage() before
func_1().
In addition, puting module_[init|exit] functions at the bottom of the
file conforms to our habit.
So, this patch ajusts function sequence as:
/* helper functions */
...
obj_location_to_handle()
...
/* Some exported functions */
...
zs_map_object()
zs_unmap_object()
zs_malloc()

When the system boots up, in the dmesg logs we can see the memory
statistics along with total reserved as below. Memory: 458840k/458840k
available, 65448k reserved, 0K highmem
When CMA is enabled, still the total reserved memory remains the same.
However, the CMA memory is not considered as reserved. But, when we see
/proc/meminfo, the CMA memory is part of free memory. This creates
confusion. This patch corrects the problem by properly subtracting the
CMA reserved memory from the total reserved memory in dmesg logs.
Below is the dmesg snapshot from an arm based device with 512MB RAM and
12MB single CMA region.

ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For
example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such
accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145)
Let's change the code to access the page table elements with
READ_ONCE that does implicit scalar accesses for the gup code.
mm_find_pmd is tricky, because m68k and sparc(32bit) define pmd_t
as array of longs. This code requires just that the pmd_present
and pmd_trans_huge check are done on the same value, so a barrier
is sufficent.
A similar case is in handle_pte_fault. On ppc44x the word size is
32 bit, but a pte is 64 bit. A barrier is ok as well.

Dave Hansen reports that commit fb7332a9fe ("mmu_gather: move minimal
range calculations into generic code") caused a performance problem:
"tlb_finish_mmu() goes up about 9x in the profiles (~0.4%->3.6%) and
tlb_flush_mmu_free() takes about 3.1% of CPU time with the patch
applied, but does not show up at all on the commit before"
and the reason is that Will moved the test for whether we need to flush
from tlb_flush_mmu() into tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(). But that meant that
tlb_flush_mmu_free() basically lost that check.
Move it back into tlb_flush_mmu() where it belongs, so that it covers
both tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() _and_ tlb_flush_mmu_free().

Pull aio updates from Benjamin LaHaise.
* git://git.kvack.org/~bcrl/aio-next:
aio: Skip timer for io_getevents if timeout=0
aio: Make it possible to remap aio ring
There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).
To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.
So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
What do you think?

kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool. The memory allocated
for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to
other allocated objects. This only works for memory that is mapped into
the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for
most CMA regions.
Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to
or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects.
Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the
scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem. Perhaps a more
appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel
virtual address?

If we fail to allocate from the current node's stock, we look for free
objects on other nodes before calling the page allocator (see
get_any_partial). While checking other nodes we respect cpuset
constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed. We enforce hardwall check.
As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some
pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set.
However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations,
so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case.
Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to
conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator.

fallback_alloc is called on kmalloc if the preferred node doesn't have
free or partial slabs and there's no pages on the node's free list
(GFP_THISNODE allocations fail). Before invoking the reclaimer it tries
to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists. While
iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which
hardwall cpuset check returns false for. That means that for a task bound
to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free
slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may
allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default). As a
result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes,
which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a
very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully.
To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree
with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly
experiences memory pressure. Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as
reported by /proc/slabinfo.
To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc.

I sent a patch [1] for unnecessary check in zsmalloc. And Minchan Kim
found zsmalloc even does not support allocating an obj with the size of
ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE in some situations.
For example:
In system with 64KB PAGE_SIZE and 32 bit of physical addr. Then:
ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE is 32 bytes which is calculated by:
MAX(32, (ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE << PAGE_SHIFT >> OBJ_INDEX_BITS))
ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE is 64KB(in current code, is PAGE_SIZE)
ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA is 256 bytes
So, ZS_SIZE_CLASSES = (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE - ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE) /
ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA + 1
= 256
In zs_create_pool(), the max size obj which can be allocated will be:
ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE + i * ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA = 32 + 255*256 = 65312
We can see that 65312 < 65536 (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE). So we can NOT
allocate objs with size ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE(65536) which we promise upper
users we can do.

This patch fixes this issue by dynamiclly calculating zs_size_classes when
module is loaded, allocates buffer with size ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE. Then the
max obj(size is ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE) can be stored in it.

The kunmap_atomic should use virtual address getting by kmap_atomic.
However, some pieces of code in zsmalloc uses modified address, not the
one got by kmap_atomic for kunmap_atomic.
It's okay for working because zsmalloc modifies the address inner
PAGE_SIZE bounday so it works with current kmap_atomic's implementation.
But it's still fragile with potential changing of kmap_atomic so let's
correct it.
I got a subtle bug when I implemented a new feature of zsmalloc
(compaction) due to a link's mishandling (the link was over page
boundary). Although it was totally my mistake, it took a while to find
the cause because an unpredictable kmapped address was unmapped causing an
almost random crash.

zsmalloc has many size_classes to reduce fragmentation and they are in 16
bytes unit, for example, 16, 32, 48, etc., if PAGE_SIZE is 4096. And,
zsmalloc has constraint that each zspage has 4 pages at maximum.
In this situation, we can see interesting aspect. Let's think about
size_class for 1488, 1472, ..., 1376. To prevent external fragmentation,
they uses 4 pages per zspage and so all they can contain 11 objects at
maximum.
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1488 * 11 + remains
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1472 * 11 + remains
16384 (4096 * 4) = ...
16384 (4096 * 4) = 1376 * 11 + remains
It means that they have same characteristics and classification between
them isn't needed. If we use one size_class for them, we can reduce
fragementation and save some memory since both the 1488 and 1472 sized
classes can only fit 11 objects into 4 pages, and an object that's 1472
bytes can fit into an object that's 1488 bytes, merging these classes to
always use objects that are 1488 bytes will reduce the total number of
size classes. And reducing the total number of size classes reduces
overall fragmentation, because a wider range of compressed pages can fit
into a single size class, leaving less unused objects in each size class.
For this purpose, this patch implement size_class merging. If there is
size_class that have same pages_per_zspage and same number of objects per
zspage with previous size_class, we don't create new size_class. Instead,
we use previous, same characteristic size_class. With this way, above
example sizes (1488, 1472, ..., 1376) use just one size_class so we can
get much more memory utilization.

Suppose task @t that belongs to a memory cgroup @memcg is going to
allocate an object from a kmem cache @c. The copy of @c corresponding to
@memcg, @mc, is empty. Then if kmem_cache_alloc races with the memory
cgroup destruction we can access the memory cgroup's copy of the cache
after it was destroyed:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
[ current=@t
@mc->memcg_params->nr_pages=0 ]
kmem_cache_alloc(@c):
call memcg_kmem_get_cache(@c);
proceed to allocation from @mc:
alloc a page for @mc:
...
move @t from @memcg
destroy @memcg:
mem_cgroup_css_offline(@memcg):
memcg_unregister_all_caches(@memcg):
kmem_cache_destroy(@mc)
add page to @mc
We could fix this issue by taking a reference to a per-memcg cache, but
that would require adding a per-cpu reference counter to per-memcg caches,
which would look cumbersome.
Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a
per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be
dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline
to css free. As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one
by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup
is freed. This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though.
Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path,
but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu
counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in
memcg_kmem_get_cache. Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory
cgroups with kmem accounting enabled. I don't think we can find a way to
handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc
may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.

oom_kill.c assumes that PF_EXITING task should exit and free the memory
soon. This is wrong in many ways and one important case is the coredump.
A task can sleep in exit_mm() "forever" while the coredumping sub-thread
can need more memory.
Change the PF_EXITING checks to take SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP into account,
we add the new trivial helper for that.
Note: this is only the first step, this patch doesn't try to solve other
problems. The SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is obviously racy, a task can
participate in coredump after it was already observed in PF_EXITING state,
so TIF_MEMDIE (which also blocks oom-killer) still can be wrongly set.
fatal_signal_pending() can be true because of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP so
out_of_memory() and mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() shouldn't blindly trust it.
And even the name/usage of the new helper is confusing, an exiting thread
can only free its ->mm if it is the only/last task in thread group.

Page migration's __unmap_and_move(), and rmap's try_to_unmap(), were
created for use on pages almost certainly mapped into userspace. But
nowadays compaction often applies them to unmapped page cache pages: which
may exacerbate contention on i_mmap_rwsem quite unnecessarily, since
try_to_unmap_file() makes no preliminary page_mapped() check.
Now check page_mapped() in __unmap_and_move(); and avoid repeating the
same overhead in rmap_walk_file() - don't remove_migration_ptes() when we
never inserted any.
(The PageAnon(page) comment blocks now look even sillier than before, but
clean that up on some other occasion. And note in passing that
try_to_unmap_one() does not use a migration entry when PageSwapCache, so
remove_migration_ptes() will then not update that swap entry to newpage
pte: not a big deal, but something else to clean up later.)
Davidlohr remarked in "mm,fs: introduce helpers around the i_mmap_mutex"
conversion to i_mmap_rwsem, that "The biggest winner of these changes is
migration": a part of the reason might be all of that unnecessary taking
of i_mmap_mutex in page migration; and it's rather a shame that I didn't
get around to sending this patch in before his - this one is much less
useful after Davidlohr's conversion to rwsem, but still good.

The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in
kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge the
eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware
shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask. This is
redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to
the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will
only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them
to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well.
Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all
reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication.
Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which
considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like
zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all
visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value.
Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To
avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once
for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot
zone.
For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic
and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and
zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing
memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much
duplication of both code and runtime work.
This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each
zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in
meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes.
Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the
same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it
merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes
the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer
feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

Extended memory to store page owner information is initialized some time
later than that page allocator starts. Until initialization, many pages
can be allocated and they have no owner information. This make debugging
using page owner harder, so some fixup will be helpful.
This patch fixes up this situation by setting fake owner information
immediately after page extension is initialized. Information doesn't tell
the right owner, but, at least, it can tell whether page is allocated or
not, more correctly.
On my testing, this patch catches 13343 early allocated pages, although
they are mostly allocated from page extension feature. Anyway, after
then, there is no page left that it is allocated and has no page owner
flag.

This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.
In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.
Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.
I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So
introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard
page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to
recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really
painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is
not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we
can't use this good feature in many cases.
Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra
flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module
issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra
memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can
avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in
the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our
development process greatly.
This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc
originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will
use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated
later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should
disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of
page_ext. This patch implements this.

When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every
page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But,
this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us
hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is
slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the
kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour
would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of
struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of
kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous
situation.
This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This
feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place
rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the
accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it
checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If
not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can
include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and
solve related problems.
Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed
their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page
has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so
this patch resurrect it.
To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for
clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to
avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init
callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is
allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in
code comment. Please refer it.
Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.

It isn't supposed to stack, so turn it into a bit-field to save 4 bytes on
the task_struct.
Also, remove the memcg_stop/resume_kmem_account helpers - it is clearer to
set/clear the flag inline. Regarding the overwhelming comment to the
helpers, which is removed by this patch too, we already have a compact yet
accurate explanation in memcg_schedule_cache_create, no need in yet
another one.

__memcg_kmem_get_cache can recurse if it calls kmalloc (which it does if
the cgroup's kmem cache doesn't exist), because kmalloc may call
__memcg_kmem_get_cache internally again. To avoid the recursion, we use
the task_struct->memcg_kmem_skip_account flag.
However, there's no need checking the flag in memcg_kmem_newpage_charge,
because there's no way how this function could result in recursion, if
called from memcg_kmem_get_cache. So let's remove the redundant code.

The only such flag is KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVE, but it's set iff
mem_cgroup->kmemcg_id is initialized, so we can check kmemcg_id instead of
having a separate flags field.
