(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky)
Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these
happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal
buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch
adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes
the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any
__GFP_NOFAIL flags), and slab will allocate order-1 allocations even for
small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid
excessive fragmentation).
Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that
judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

If a processor is downed then we need to set the pageset pointer back to

If a kthread happens to use get_user_pages() on an mm (as KSM does),
there's a chance that it will end up trying to read in a swap page, then
oops in grab_swap_token() because the kthread has no mm: GUP passes down
the right mm, so grab_swap_token() ought to be using it.
We have not identified a stronger case than KSM's daemon (not yet in
mainline), but the issue must have come up before, since RHEL has included
a fix for this for years (though a different fix, they just back out of
grab_swap_token if current->mm is unset: which is what we first proposed,
but using the right mm here seems more correct).

The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a
single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set
flags like "you can return a retry error" etc.
And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the
top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the
'write_access' boolean around.
This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags'

for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next.

This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg.
In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when
swap is completely freed. But there are several cases where swap cannot
be freed cleanly. For handling that, this patch changes that memcg
uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache.
By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the
application's behavior.
This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that

distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.
There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is
possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning
uselessly. Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and
experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to
/proc/vmstat. If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing
rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met. The problem is that zone_reclaim() failing at all means the
zone gets marked full.
This can cause situations where a zone is usable, but is being skipped
because it has been considered full. Take a situation where a large tmpfs
mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall. The pages do not
get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full
and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future.
This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about
what occured when zone_reclaim() failued. The zone only gets marked full
if it really is unreclaimable. If it's a case that the scan did not occur
or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then
the zone is simply skipped.
There is a side-effect to this patch. Currently, if zone_reclaim()
successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go
ahead. With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after
zone_reclaim() does some work.
This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc96
("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the
zonelist_cache was introduced. It was not intended that zone_reclaim()
aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct
reclaim can still be an option. Due to the age of the bug, it should be
considered a -stable candidate.

A bug was brought to my attention against a distro kernel but it affects
mainline and I believe problems like this have been reported in various
guises on the mailing lists although I don't have specific examples at the
moment.
The reported problem was that malloc() stalled for a long time (minutes in
some cases) if a large tmpfs mount was occupying a large percentage of
memory overall. The pages did not get cleaned or reclaimed by
zone_reclaim() because the zone_reclaim_mode was unsuitable, but the lists
are uselessly scanned frequencly making the CPU spin at near 100%.
This patchset intends to address that bug and bring the behaviour of
zone_reclaim() more in line with expectations which were noticed during
investigation. It is based on top of mmotm and takes advantage of
Kosaki's work with respect to zone_reclaim().
Patch 1 fixes the heuristics that zone_reclaim() uses to determine if the
scan should go ahead. The broken heuristic is what was causing the
malloc() stall as it uselessly scanned the LRU constantly. Currently,
zone_reclaim is assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 and historically it
could not deal with tmpfs pages at all. This fixes up the heuristic so
that an unnecessary scan is more likely to be correctly avoided.
Patch 2 notes that zone_reclaim() returning a failure automatically means
the zone is marked full. This is not always true. It could have
failed because the GFP mask or zone_reclaim_mode were unsuitable.
Patch 3 introduces a counter zreclaim_failed that will increment each
time the zone_reclaim scan-avoidance heuristics fail. If that
counter is rapidly increasing, then zone_reclaim_mode should be
set to 0 as a temporarily resolution and a bug reported because
the scan-avoidance heuristic is still broken.
This patch:
On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.
There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but the
problem is that the heuristic is not being properly applied and is
basically assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 if it is enabled. The lack of
proper detection can manfiest as high CPU usage as the LRU list is scanned
uselessly.
Historically, once enabled it was depending on NR_FILE_PAGES which may
include swapcache pages that the reclaim_mode cannot deal with. Patch
vmscan-change-the-number-of-the-unmapped-files-in-zone-reclaim.patch by
Kosaki Motohiro noted that zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_PAGES) included
pages that were not file-backed such as swapcache and made a calculation
based on the inactive, active and mapped files. This is far superior when
zone_reclaim==1 but if RECLAIM_SWAP is set, then NR_FILE_PAGES is a
reasonable starting figure.
This patch alters how zone_reclaim() works out how many pages it might be
able to reclaim given the current reclaim_mode. If RECLAIM_SWAP is set in
the reclaim_mode it will either consider NR_FILE_PAGES as potential
candidates or else use NR_{IN}ACTIVE}_PAGES-NR_FILE_MAPPED to discount
swapcache and other non-file-backed pages. If RECLAIM_WRITE is not set,
then NR_FILE_DIRTY number of pages are not candidates. If RECLAIM_SWAP is
not set, then NR_FILE_MAPPED are not.

The "move pages to active list" and "move pages to inactive list" code
blocks are mostly identical and can be served by a function.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out.
Note that buffer_heads_over_limit check will also be carried out for
re-activated pages, which is slightly different from pre-2.6.28 kernels.
Also, Rik's "vmscan: evict use-once pages first" patch could totally stop
scans of active file list when memory pressure is low. So the net effect
could be, the number of buffer heads is now more likely to grow large.
However that's fine according to Johannes' comments:
I don't think that this could be harmful. We just preserve the buffer
mappings of what we consider the working set and with low memory
pressure, as you say, this set is not big.
As to stripping of reactivated pages: the only pages we re-activate
for now are those VM_EXEC mapped ones. Since we don't expect IO from
or to these pages, removing the buffer mappings in case they grow too
large should be okay, I guess.

[more details]
( The consequences of this patch will have to be discussed together with
Rik van Riel's recent patch "vmscan: evict use-once pages first". )
( Some of the good points and insights are taken into this changelog.
Thanks to all the involved people for the great LKML discussions. )
the problem
===========
For a typical desktop, the most precious working set is composed of
*actively accessed*
(1) memory mapped executables
(2) and their anonymous pages
(3) and other files
(4) and the dcache/icache/.. slabs
while the least important data are
(5) infrequently used or use-once files
For a typical desktop, one major problem is busty and large amount of (5)
use-once files flushing out the working set.
Inside the working set, (4) dcache/icache have already been too sticky ;-)
So we only have to care (2) anonymous and (1)(3) file pages.
anonymous pages
===============
Anonymous pages are effectively immune to the streaming IO attack, because we
now have separate file/anon LRU lists. When the use-once files crowd into the
file LRU, the list's "quality" is significantly lowered. Therefore the scan
balance policy in get_scan_ratio() will choose to scan the (low quality) file
LRU much more frequently than the anon LRU.
file pages
==========
Rik proposed to *not* scan the active file LRU when the inactive list grows
larger than active list. This guarantees that when there are use-once streaming
IO, and the working set is not too large(so that active_size < inactive_size),
the active file LRU will *not* be scanned at all. So the not-too-large working
set can be well protected.
But there are also situations where the file working set is a bit large so that
(active_size >= inactive_size), or the streaming IOs are not purely use-once.
In these cases, the active list will be scanned slowly. Because the current
shrink_active_list() policy is to deactivate active pages regardless of their
referenced bits. The deactivated pages become susceptible to the streaming IO
attack: the inactive list could be scanned fast (500MB / 50MBps = 10s) so that
the deactivated pages don't have enough time to get re-referenced. Because a
user tend to switch between windows in intervals from seconds to minutes.
This patch holds mapped executable pages in the active list as long as they
are referenced during each full scan of the active list. Because the active
list is normally scanned much slower, they get longer grace time (eg. 100s)
for further references, which better matches the pace of user operations.
Therefore this patch greatly prolongs the in-cache time of executable code,
when there are moderate memory pressures.
before patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I
after patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I+A
(except when randomly reclaimed by the lumpy reclaim)
where
A = time to fully scan the active file LRU
I = time to fully scan the inactive file LRU
Note that normally A >> I.
side effects
============
This patch is safe in general, it restores the pre-2.6.28 mmap() behavior
but in a much smaller and well targeted scope.
One may worry about some one to abuse the PROT_EXEC heuristic. But as
Andrew Morton stated, there are other tricks to getting that sort of boost.
Another concern is the PROT_EXEC mapped pages growing large in rare cases,
and therefore hurting reclaim efficiency. But a sane application targeted for
large audience will never use PROT_EXEC for data mappings. If some home made
application tries to abuse that bit, it shall be aware of the consequences.
If it is abused to scale of 2/3 total memory, it gains nothing but overheads.

- pswpin numbers are reduced to ~1/3.
That means X desktop responsiveness is doubled under high memory/swap pressure.
1.2) test scenario
- nfsroot gnome desktop with 512M physical memory
- run some programs, and switch between the existing windows
after starting each new program.

2) memory flushing in a file server
2.1) brief summary
The number of major faults from 50 to 3 during 10% cache hot reads.
That means this patch successfully stops major faults when the active file
list is slowly scanned when there are partially cache hot streaming IO.
2.2) test scenario
Do 100000 pread(size=110 pages, offset=(i*100) pages), where 10% of the
pages will be activated:
for i in `seq 0 100 10000000`; do echo $i 110; done > pattern-hot-10
iotrace.rb --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse
vmmon nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree
and monitor /proc/vmstat during the time. The test box has 2G memory.
I carried out tests on fresh booted console as well as X desktop, and
fetched the vmstat numbers on
(1) begin: shortly after the big read IO starts;
(2) end: just before the big read IO stops;
(3) restore: the big read IO stops and the zsh working set restored
(4) restore X: after IO, switch back and forth between the urxvt and firefox
windows to restore their working set.
2.3) console mode results
nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree
2.6.29 VM_EXEC protection ON:
begin: 2481 2237 8694 630 0 574299
end: 275 231976 233914 633 776271 20933042
restore: 370 232154 234524 691 777183 20958453
2.6.29 VM_EXEC protection ON (second run):
begin: 2434 2237 8493 629 0 574195
end: 284 231970 233536 632 771918 20896129
restore: 399 232218 234789 690 774526 20957909
2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF:
begin: 2479 2344 9659 210 0 579643
end: 284 232010 234142 260 772776 20917184
restore: 379 232159 234371 301 774888 20967849
The above console numbers show that
- The startup pgmajfault of 2.6.30-rc4-mm is merely 1/3 that of 2.6.29.
I'd attribute that improvement to the mmap readahead improvements :-)
- The pgmajfault increment during the file copy is 633-630=3 vs 260-210=50.
That's a huge improvement - which means with the VM_EXEC protection logic,
active mmap pages is pretty safe even under partially cache hot streaming IO.
- when active:inactive file lru size reaches 1:1, their scan rates is 1:20.8
under 10% cache hot IO. (computed with formula Dpgdeactivate:Dpgfree)
That roughly means the active mmap pages get 20.8 more chances to get
re-referenced to stay in memory.
- The absolute nr_mapped drops considerably to 1/9 during the big IO, and the
dropped pages are mostly inactive ones. The patch has almost no impact in
this aspect, that means it won't unnecessarily increase memory pressure.
(In contrast, your 20% mmap protection ratio will keep them all, and
therefore eliminate the extra 41 major faults to restore working set
of zsh etc.)
The iotrace.rb read throughput is
151.194384MB/s 284.198252s 100001x 450560b --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse
which means the inactive list is rotated at the speed of 250MB/s,
so a full scan of which takes about 3.5 seconds, while a full scan
of active file list takes about 77 seconds.
2.4) X mode results
We can reach roughly the same conclusions for X desktop:
nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree
2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection ON:
begin: 9740 8920 64075 561 0 678360

restore: 857 218543 220987 606 799462 21075710
restore X: 2414 218560 225344 797 799462 21080795
2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF:
begin: 9368 5035 26389 554 0 633391
end: 770 218449 221230 661 646472 17832500
restore: 1113 218466 220978 710 649881 17905235
restore X: 2687 218650 225484 947 802700 21083584
- the absolute nr_mapped drops considerably (to 1/13 of the original size)
during the streaming IO.
- the delta of pgmajfault is 3 vs 107 during IO, or 236 vs 393
during the whole process.

SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size. The arch code may

This moves the check for OOM_DISABLE to the badness heuristic so it is
only necessary to hold task_lock() once. If the mm is OOM_DISABLE, the
score is 0, which is also correctly exported via /proc/pid/oom_score.
This requires that tasks with badness scores of 0 are prohibited from
being oom killed, which makes sense since they would not allow for future
memory freeing anyway.
Since the oom_adj value is a characteristic of an mm and not a task, it is
no longer necessary to check the oom_adj value for threads sharing the
same memory (except when simply issuing SIGKILLs for threads in other
thread groups).

The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the
task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the
mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be
freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have
needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory
freeing.
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a
task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already
necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM
size for the badness heuristic.
This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread
sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs
because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the
chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same
task during the next retry.
Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in
oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be
removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be
necessary.
Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since
these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an
oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

Presently we can know a swap entry is just used as SwapCache via swap_map,
without looking up swap cache.
Then, we have a chance to reuse swap-cache-only swap entries in
get_swap_pages().
This patch tries to free swap-cache-only swap entries if swap is not
enough.
Note: We hit following path when swap_cluster code cannot find a free
cluster. Then, vm_swap_full() is not only condition to allow the kernel
to reclaim unused swap.

This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak.
But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg.
There are 2 kinds of references to swap.
- reference from swap entry
- reference from swap cache
Then,
- If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache.
(*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL
This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering
that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[],
current usage of counter is not very good.
This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap
entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c
and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

In a following patch, the usage of swap cache is recorded into swap_map.
This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that.
2 interfaces:
- swapcache_prepare()
- swapcache_free()
are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap
entries. But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At
adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under
swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

Whenever memory hotplug sucessfully happens, zone->present_pages
have to be changed.
1) Now memory hotplug calls setup_per_zone_wmark_min only when
online_pages called, not offline_pages.
It breaks balance.
2) If zone->present_pages is changed, we also have to change
zone->inactive_ratio. That's because inactive_ratio depends on
zone->present_pages.
