It turned out that DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is still broken even after recent recue efforts that when there is a large number of objects like kmemleak_object which is normal on a debug kernel, # grep kmemleak /proc/slabinfo kmemleak_object 2243606 3436210 ... reading /proc/slab_allocators could easily loop forever while processing the kmemleak_object cache and any additional freeing or allocating objects will trigger a reprocessing. To make a situation worse, soft-lockups could easily happen in this sitatuion which will call printk() to allocate more kmemleak objects to guarantee an infinite loop. Also, since it seems no one had noticed when it was totally broken more than 2-year ago - see the commit fcf88917 ("slab: fix a crash by reading /proc/slab_allocators"), probably nobody cares about it anymore due to the decline of the SLAB. Just remove it entirely. Suggested-by:

When a cgroup is reclaimed on behalf of a configured limit, reclaim needs to round-robin through all NUMA nodes that hold pages of the memcg in question. However, when assembling the mask of candidate NUMA nodes, the code only consults the *local* cgroup LRU counters, not the recursive counters for the entire subtree. Cgroup limits are frequently configured against intermediate cgroups that do not have memory on their own LRUs. In this case, the node mask will always come up empty and reclaim falls back to scanning only the current node. If a cgroup subtree has some memory on one node but the processes are bound to another node afterwards, the limit reclaim will never age or reclaim that memory anymore. To fix this, use the recursive LRU counts for a cgroup subtree to determine which nodes hold memory of that cgroup. The code has been broken like this forever, so it doesn't seem to be a problem in practice. I just noticed it while reviewing the way the LRU counters are used in general.

Right now, when somebody needs to know the recursive memory statistics and events of a cgroup subtree, they need to walk the entire subtree and sum up the counters manually. There are two issues with this: 1. When a cgroup gets deleted, its stats are lost. The state counters should all be 0 at that point, of course, but the events are not. When this happens, the event counters, which are supposed to be monotonic, can go backwards in the parent cgroups. 2. During regular operation, we always have a certain number of lazily freed cgroups sitting around that have been deleted, have no tasks, but have a few cache pages remaining. These groups' statistics do not change until we eventually hit memory pressure, but somebody watching, say, memory.stat on an ancestor has to iterate those every time. This patch addresses both issues by introducing recursive counters at each level that are propagated from the write side when stats change. Upward propagation happens when the per-cpu caches spill over into the local atomic counter. This is the same thing we do during charge and uncharge, except that the latter uses atomic RMWs, which are more expensive; stat changes happen at around the same rate. In a sparse file test (page faults and reclaim at maximum CPU speed) with 5 cgroup nesting levels, perf shows __mod_memcg_page state at ~1%.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: memory.stat cost & correctness". The cgroup memory.stat file holds recursive statistics for the entire subtree. The current implementation does this tree walk on-demand whenever the file is read. This is giving us problems in production. 1. The cost of aggregating the statistics on-demand is high. A lot of system service cgroups are mostly idle and their stats don't change between reads, yet we always have to check them. There are also always some lazily-dying cgroups sitting around that are pinned by a handful of remaining page cache; the same applies to them. In an application that periodically monitors memory.stat in our fleet, we have seen the aggregation consume up to 5% CPU time. 2. When cgroups die and disappear from the cgroup tree, so do their accumulated vm events. The result is that the event counters at higher-level cgroups can go backwards and confuse some of our automation, let alone people looking at the graphs over time. To address both issues, this patch series changes the stat implementation to spill counts upwards when the counters change. The upward spilling is batched using the existing per-cpu cache. In a sparse file stress test with 5 level cgroup nesting, the additional cost of the flushing was negligible (a little under 1% of CPU at 100% CPU utilization, compared to the 5% of reading memory.stat during regular operation). This patch (of 4): memcg_page_state(), lruvec_page_state(), memcg_sum_events() are currently returning the state of the local memcg or lruvec, not the recursive state. In practice there is a demand for both versions, although the callers that want the recursive counts currently sum them up by hand. Per default, cgroups are considered recursive entities and generally we expect more users of the recursive counters, with the local counts being special cases. To reflect that in the name, add a _local suffix to the current implementations. The following patch will re-incarnate these functions with recursive semantics, but with an O(1) implementation.

I spent literally an hour trying to work out why an earlier version of my memory.events aggregation code doesn't work properly, only to find out I was calling memcg->events instead of memcg->memory_events, which is fairly confusing. This naming seems in need of reworking, so make it harder to do the wrong thing by using vmevents instead of events, which makes it more clear that these are vm counters rather than memcg-specific counters. There are also a few other inconsistent names in both the percpu and aggregated structs, so these are all cleaned up to be more coherent and easy to understand. This commit contains code cleanup only: there are no logic changes.

The semantics of what mincore() considers to be resident is not completely clear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page cache". That's potentially a problem, as that [in]directly exposes meta-information about pagecache / memory mapping state even about memory not strictly belonging to the process executing the syscall, opening possibilities for sidechannel attacks. Change the semantics of mincore() so that it only reveals pagecache information for non-anonymous mappings that belog to files that the calling process could (if it tried to) successfully open for writing; otherwise we'd be including shared non-exclusive mappings, which - is the sidechannel - is not the usecase for mincore(), as that's primarily used for data, not (shared) text [jkosina@suse.cz: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190312141708.6652-2-vbabka@suse.cz [mhocko@suse.com: restructure can_do_mincore() conditions] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/nycvar.YFH.7.76.1903062342020.19912@cbobk.fhfr.pm Signed-off-by:

When freeing a page with an order >= shuffle_page_order randomly select the front or back of the list for insertion. While the mm tries to defragment physical pages into huge pages this can tend to make the page allocator more predictable over time. Inject the front-back randomness to preserve the initial randomness established by shuffle_free_memory() when the kernel was booted. The overhead of this manipulation is constrained by only being applied for MAX_ORDER sized pages by default.

Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10. This patch (of 3): Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC (high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in front of higher latency persistent memory [1]. Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here: It's been a problem in the HPC space: http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/ A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing users to deploy remedies like: "To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job; nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth falls below 300 GB/s." A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03 ("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized ("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance. However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case. The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance. Here are some performance impact details of the patches: 1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a 3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts. The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node. 2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8% for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%. 3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with randomization in one case. 4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some improvements and some losses [3]. While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0 parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems. Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first onlined. Quoting Kees: "While we already have a base-address randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't important: only the relative positions between allocated memory). This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc. I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator." While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated. However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization. Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch). The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10, 4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling. MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the expectation that the security implications of finer granularity randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to other memory initialization work. This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together, page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant impact to the cache conflict rate.

Commit 763b218d ("mm: add preempt points into __purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced some preempt points, one of those is making an allocation more prioritized over lazy free of vmap areas. Prioritizing an allocation over freeing does not work well all the time, i.e. it should be rather a compromise. 1) Number of lazy pages directly influences the busy list length thus on operations like: allocation, lookup, unmap, remove, etc. 2) Under heavy stress of vmalloc subsystem I run into a situation when memory usage gets increased hitting out_of_memory -> panic state due to completely blocking of logic that frees vmap areas in the __purge_vmap_area_lazy() function. Establish a threshold passing which the freeing is prioritized back over allocation creating a balance between each other. Using vmalloc test driver in "stress mode", i.e. When all available test cases are run simultaneously on all online CPUs applying a pressure on the vmalloc subsystem, my HiKey 960 board runs out of memory due to the fact that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() logic simply is not able to free pages in time. How I run it: 1) You should build your kernel with CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC=m 2) ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/test_vmalloc.sh stress During this test "vmap_lazy_nr" pages will go far beyond acceptable lazy_max_pages() threshold, that will lead to enormous busy list size and other problems including allocation time and so on.

Luckily, private_data is NULL for address spaces in all such cases today but, there is no guarantee this will continue. Change all hugetlbfs code getting a resv_map pointer to explicitly get it from the address space embedded within the inode.

Now that we are not using page address in handles directly, we can make z3fold pages movable to decrease the memory fragmentation z3fold may create over time. This patch starts advertising non-headless z3fold pages as movable and uses the existing kernel infrastructure to implement moving of such pages per memory management subsystem's request. It thus implements 3 required callbacks for page migration: * isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise * migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the memory subsystem. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise * putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code).

The current z3fold implementation only searches this CPU's page lists for a fitting page to put a new object into. This patch adds quick search for very well fitting pages (i. e. those having exactly the required number of free space) on other CPUs too, before allocating a new page for that object.

Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case. Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is included in this patchset. This patch (of 4): Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2 smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190417103633.a4bb770b5bf0fb7e43ce1666@gmail.com Signed-off-by:

Add 2 new Kconfig variables that are not used by anyone. I check that various make ARCH=somearch allmodconfig do work and do not complain. This new Kconfig needs to be added first so that device drivers that depend on HMM can be updated. Once drivers are updated then I can update the HMM Kconfig to depend on this new Kconfig in a followup patch. This is about solving Kconfig for HMM given that device driver are going through their own tree we want to avoid changing them from the mm tree. So plan is: 1 - Kernel release N add the new Kconfig to mm/Kconfig (this patch) 2 - Kernel release N+1 update driver to depend on new Kconfig ie stop using ARCH_HASH_HMM and start using ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR and ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE (one or the other or both depending on the driver) 3 - Kernel release N+2 remove ARCH_HASH_HMM and do final Kconfig update in mm/Kconfig Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190417211141.17580-1-jglisse@redhat.com Signed-off-by:Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Cc: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com> Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> Cc: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by:

Patch series "mm: Use vm_map_pages() and vm_map_pages_zero() API", v5. This patch (of 5): Previouly drivers have their own way of mapping range of kernel pages/memory into user vma and this was done by invoking vm_insert_page() within a loop. As this pattern is common across different drivers, it can be generalized by creating new functions and using them across the drivers. vm_map_pages() is the API which can be used to map kernel memory/pages in drivers which have considered vm_pgoff vm_map_pages_zero() is the API which can be used to map a range of kernel memory/pages in drivers which have not considered vm_pgoff. vm_pgoff is passed as default 0 for those drivers. We _could_ then at a later "fix" these drivers which are using vm_map_pages_zero() to behave according to the normal vm_pgoff offsetting simply by removing the _zero suffix on the function name and if that causes regressions, it gives us an easy way to revert. Tested on Rockchip hardware and display is working, including talking to Lima via prime.

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig setting so there is no need to write it explicitly. Also since commit f467c564 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same regardless of 'default n' being present or not: ... One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making the following two definitions behave exactly the same: config FOO bool config FOO bool default n With this change, neither of these will generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied). That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is redundant. ... Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/c3385916-e4d4-37d3-b330-e6b7dff83a52@samsung.com Signed-off-by:

With the default overcommit==guess we occasionally run into mmap rejections despite plenty of memory that would get dropped under pressure but just isn't accounted reclaimable. One example of this is dying cgroups pinned by some page cache. A previous case was auxiliary path name memory associated with dentries; we have since annotated those allocations to avoid overcommit failures (see d79f7aa4 ("mm: treat indirectly reclaimable memory as free in overcommit logic")). But trying to classify all allocated memory reliably as reclaimable and unreclaimable is a bit of a fool's errand. There could be a myriad of dependencies that constantly change with kernel versions. It becomes even more questionable of an effort when considering how this estimate of available memory is used: it's not compared to the system-wide allocated virtual memory in any way. It's not even compared to the allocating process's address space. It's compared to the single allocation request at hand! So we have an elaborate left-hand side of the equation that tries to assess the exact breathing room the system has available down to a page - and then compare it to an isolated allocation request with no additional context. We could fail an allocation of N bytes, but for two allocations of N/2 bytes we'd do this elaborate dance twice in a row and then still let N bytes of virtual memory through. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Let's take a step back and look at the actual goal of the heuristic. From the documentation: Heuristic overcommit handling. Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. Used for a typical system. It ensures a seriously wild allocation fails while allowing overcommit to reduce swap usage. root is allowed to allocate slightly more memory in this mode. This is the default. If all we want to do is catch clearly bogus allocation requests irrespective of the general virtual memory situation, the physical memory counter-part doesn't need to be that complicated, either. When in GUESS mode, catch wild allocations by comparing their request size to total amount of ram and swap in the system.

All callers of arch_remove_memory() ignore errors. And we should really try to remove any errors from the memory removal path. No more errors are reported from __remove_pages(). BUG() in s390x code in case arch_remove_memory() is triggered. We may implement that properly later.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Better error handling when removing memory", v1. Error handling when removing memory is somewhat messed up right now. Some errors result in warnings, others are completely ignored. Memory unplug code can essentially not deal with errors properly as of now. remove_memory() will never fail. We have basically two choices: 1. Allow arch_remov_memory() and friends to fail, propagating errors via remove_memory(). Might be problematic (e.g. DIMMs consisting of multiple pieces added/removed separately). 2. Don't allow the functions to fail, handling errors in a nicer way. It seems like most errors that can theoretically happen are really corner cases and mostly theoretical (e.g. "section not valid"). However e.g. aborting removal of sections while all callers simply continue in case of errors is not nice. If we can gurantee that removal of memory always works (and WARN/skip in case of theoretical errors so we can figure out what is going on), we can go ahead and implement better error handling when adding memory. E.g. via add_memory(): arch_add_memory() ret = do_stuff() if (ret) { arch_remove_memory(); goto error; } Handling here that arch_remove_memory() might fail is basically impossible. So I suggest, let's avoid reporting errors while removing memory, warning on theoretical errors instead and continuing instead of aborting. This patch (of 4): __add_pages() doesn't add the memory resource, so __remove_pages() shouldn't remove it. Let's factor it out. Especially as it is a special case for memory used as system memory, added via add_memory() and friends. We now remove the resource after removing the sections instead of doing it the other way around. I don't think this change is problematic. add_memory() register memory resource arch_add_memory() remove_memory arch_remove_memory() release memory resource While at it, explain why we ignore errors and that it only happeny if we remove memory in a different granularity as we added it.

arch_add_memory, __add_pages take a want_memblock which controls whether the newly added memory should get the sysfs memblock user API (e.g. ZONE_DEVICE users do not want/need this interface). Some callers even want to control where do we allocate the memmap from by configuring altmap. Add a more generic hotplug context for arch_add_memory and __add_pages. struct mhp_restrictions contains flags which contains additional features to be enabled by the memory hotplug (MHP_MEMBLOCK_API currently) and altmap for alternative memmap allocator. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190408082633.2864-3-osalvador@suse.de Signed-off-by:

check_pages_isolated_cb currently accounts the whole pfn range as being offlined if test_pages_isolated suceeds on the range. This is based on the assumption that all pages in the range are freed which is currently the case in most cases but it won't be with later changes, as pages marked as vmemmap won't be isolated. Move the offlined pages counting to offline_isolated_pages_cb and rely on __offline_isolated_pages to return the correct value. check_pages_isolated_cb will still do it's primary job and check the pfn range. While we are at it remove check_pages_isolated and offline_isolated_pages and use directly walk_system_ram_range as do in online_pages.

Add yet another iterator, for_each_free_mem_range_in_zone_from, and then use it to support initializing and freeing pages in groups no larger than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. By doing this we can greatly improve the cache locality of the pages while we do several loops over them in the init and freeing process. We are able to tighten the loops further as a result of the "from" iterator as we can perform the initial checks for first_init_pfn in our first call to the iterator, and continue without the need for those checks via the "from" iterator. I have added this functionality in the function called deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone that primes the iterator and causes us to exit if we encounter any failure. On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction in initialization time from 1.85s to 1.38s as a result of this patch.
