mm, tracing: unify mm flags handling in tracepoints and printk

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

In tracepoints, it's possible to print gfp flags in a human-friendly format through a macro show_gfp_flags(), which defines a translation array and passes is to __print_flags(). Since the following patch will introduce support for gfp flags printing in printk(), it would be nice to reuse the array. This is not straightforward, since __print_flags() can't simply reference an array defined in a .c file such as mm/debug.c - it has to be a macro to allow the macro magic to communicate the format to userspace tools such as trace-cmd. The solution is to create a macro __def_gfpflag_names which is used both in show_gfp_flags(), and to define the gfpflag_names[] array in mm/debug.c. On the other hand, mm/debug.c also defines translation tables for page flags and vma flags, and desire was expressed (but not implemented in this series) to use these also from tracepoints. Thus, this patch also renames the events/gfpflags.h file to events/mmflags.h and moves the table definitions there, using the same macro approach as for gfpflags. This allows translating all three kinds of mm-specific flags both in tracepoints and printk.

tracing, mm: Record pfn instead of pointer to struct page

2015-04-13T14:44:52+00:00

The struct page is opaque for userspace tools, so it'd be better to save pfn in order to identify page frames. The textual output of $debugfs/tracing/trace file remains unchanged and only raw (binary) data format is changed - but thanks to libtraceevent, userspace tools which deal with the raw data (like perf and trace-cmd) can parse the format easily. So impact on the userspace will also be minimal.

mm: shrinker trace points: fix negatives

2014-06-04T23:54:04+00:00

I was looking at a trace of the slab shrinkers (attachment in this comment): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72742#c67 and noticed that "total_scan" can go negative in some cases. We used to dump out the "total_scan" variable directly, but some of the shrinker modifications along the way changed that. This patch just dumps it out directly, again. It doesn't make any sense to derive it from new_nr and nr any more since there are now other shrinkers that can be running in parallel and mucking with those values. Here's an example of the negative numbers in the output: > kswapd0-840 [000] 160.869398: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 10 new scan count 39 total_scan 29 last shrinker return val 256 > kswapd0-840 [000] 160.869618: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 39 new scan count 102 total_scan 63 last shrinker return val 256 > kswapd0-840 [000] 160.870031: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 102 new scan count 47 total_scan -55 last shrinker return val 768 > kswapd0-840 [000] 160.870464: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 47 new scan count 45 total_scan -2 last shrinker return val 768 > kswapd0-840 [000] 163.384144: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 45 new scan count 56 total_scan 11 last shrinker return val 0 > kswapd0-840 [000] 163.384297: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 56 new scan count 15 total_scan -41 last shrinker return val 256 > kswapd0-840 [000] 163.384414: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 15 new scan count 117 total_scan 102 last shrinker return val 0 > kswapd0-840 [000] 163.384657: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 117 new scan count 36 total_scan -81 last shrinker return val 512 > kswapd0-840 [000] 163.384880: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 36 new scan count 111 total_scan 75 last shrinker return val 256 > kswapd0-840 [000] 163.385256: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 111 new scan count 34 total_scan -77 last shrinker return val 768 > kswapd0-840 [000] 163.385598: mm_shrink_slab_end: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0 0xffff8800037cbc68: unused scan count 34 new scan count 122 total_scan 88 last shrinker return val 512 Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Dave Chinner Cc: Konstantin Khlebnikov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: vmscan: do not stall on writeback during memory compaction

2012-05-29T23:22:19+00:00

This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was only intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight. Page migration has its own logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory compaction is already using it. Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a considerable length of time. Page reclaim instead uses wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being scanned.
