mm/memory_hotplug: allow memmap on memory hotplug request to fallback

2023-08-21T20:37:48+00:00

If not supported, fallback to not using memap on memmory. This avoids the need for callers to do the fallback.

mm: memory_hotplug: make hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with memmap_on_memory

2022-07-04T01:08:49+00:00

For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone wants to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant. The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself, hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page can be optimized.

mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl

2022-05-13T23:48:56+00:00

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases. 1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance) deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in our practical environment. 2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly' instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit 099730d67417. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop. 3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server. The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and 'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at fault time.

mm/sparse-vmemmap: add a pgmap argument to section activation

2022-04-29T06:16:15+00:00

Patch series "sparse-vmemmap: memory savings for compound devmaps (device-dax)", v9. This series minimizes 'struct page' overhead by pursuing a similar approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap pages of hugetlb page" (now merged since v5.14), but applied to devmap with @vmemmap_shift (device-dax). The vmemmap dedpulication original idea (already used in HugeTLB) is to reuse/deduplicate tail page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only describes tail pages. So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and the first page for a given ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page and 63 tail pages. The second vmemmap page would contain only tail pages, and that's what gets reused across the rest of the subsection/section. The bigger the page size, the bigger the savings (2M hpage -> save 6 vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages). This is done for PMEM /specifically only/ on device-dax configured namespaces, not fsdax. In other words, a devmap with a @vmemmap_shift. In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down with compound devmap: * with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of total memory) * with 1G pages we lose 40MB instead of 16G (0.0014% instead of 1.5% of total memory) The series is mostly summed up by patch 4, and to summarize what the series does: Patches 1 - 3: Minor cleanups in preparation for patch 4. Move the very nice docs of hugetlb_vmemmap.c into a Documentation/vm/ entry. Patch 4: Patch 4 is the one that takes care of the struct page savings (also referred to here as tail-page/vmemmap deduplication). Much like Muchun series, we reuse the second PTE tail page vmemmap areas across a given @vmemmap_shift On important difference though, is that contrary to the hugetlbfs series, there's no vmemmap for the area because we are late-populating it as opposed to remapping a system-ram range. IOW no freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for hugetlbfs, which greatly simplifies the logic (besides not being arch-specific). altmap case unchanged and still goes via the vmemmap_populate(). Also adjust the newly added docs to the device-dax case. [Note that device-dax is still a little behind HugeTLB in terms of savings. I have an additional simple patch that reuses the head vmemmap page too, as a follow-up. That will double the savings and namespaces initialization.] Patch 5: Initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size with DRAM backed struct pages -- because fewer pages are unique and most tail pages (with bigger vmemmap_shift). NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~268-358 ms to ~80-110/<1ms on 128G NVDIMMs with 2M and 1G respectivally. And struct page needed capacity will be 3.8x / 1071x smaller for 2M and 1G respectivelly. Tested on x86 with 1.5Tb of pmem (including pinning, and RDMA registration/deregistration scalability with 2M MRs) This patch (of 5): In support of using compound pages for devmap mappings, plumb the pgmap down to the vmemmap_populate implementation. Note that while altmap is retrievable from pgmap the memory hotplug code passes altmap without pgmap[*], so both need to be independently plumbed. So in addition to @altmap, pass @pgmap to sparse section populate functions namely: sparse_add_section section_activate populate_section_memmap __populate_section_memmap Passing @pgmap allows __populate_section_memmap() to both fetch the vmemmap_shift in which memmap metadata is created for and also to let sparse-vmemmap fetch pgmap ranges to co-relate to a given section and pick whether to just reuse tail pages from past onlined sections. While at it, fix the kdoc for @altmap for sparse_add_section().

drivers/base/memory: determine and store zone for single-zone memory blocks

2022-03-22T22:57:10+00:00

test_pages_in_a_zone() is just another nasty PFN walker that can easily stumble over ZONE_DEVICE memory ranges falling into the same memory block as ordinary system RAM: the memmap of parts of these ranges might possibly be uninitialized. In fact, we observed (on an older kernel) with UBSAN: UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ./include/linux/mm.h:1133:50 index 7 is out of range for type 'zone [5]' CPU: 121 PID: 35603 Comm: read_all Kdump: loaded Tainted: [...] Hardware name: Dell Inc.

While we could try inserting pfn_to_online_page() calls, it will just make memory offlining slower, because we use test_pages_in_a_zone() to make sure we're offlining pages that all belong to the same zone. Let's just get rid of this PFN walker and determine the single zone of a memory block -- if any -- for early memory blocks during boot. For memory onlining, we know the single zone already. Let's avoid any additional memmap scanning and just rely on the zone information available during boot. For memory hot(un)plug, we only really care about memory blocks that: * span a single zone (and, thereby, a single node) * are completely System RAM (IOW, no holes, no ZONE_DEVICE) If one of these conditions is not met, we reject memory offlining. Hotplugged memory blocks (starting out offline), always meet both conditions. There are three scenarios to handle: (1) Memory hot(un)plug A memory block with zone == NULL cannot be offlined, corresponding to our previous test_pages_in_a_zone() check. After successful memory onlining/offlining, we simply set the zone accordingly. * Memory onlining: set the zone we just used for onlining * Memory offlining: set zone = NULL So a hotplugged memory block starts with zone = NULL. Once memory onlining is done, we set the proper zone. (2) Boot memory with !CONFIG_NUMA We know that there is just a single pgdat, so we simply scan all zones of that pgdat for an intersection with our memory block PFN range when adding the memory block. If more than one zone intersects (e.g., DMA and DMA32 on x86 for the first memory block) we set zone = NULL and consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used to do. (3) Boot memory with CONFIG_NUMA At the point in time we create the memory block devices during boot, we don't know yet which nodes *actually* span a memory block. While we could scan all zones of all nodes for intersections, overlapping nodes complicate the situation and scanning all nodes is possibly expensive. But that problem has already been solved by the code that sets the node of a memory block and creates the link in the sysfs -- do_register_memory_block_under_node(). So, we hook into the code that sets the node id for a memory block. If we already have a different node id set for the memory block, we know that multiple nodes *actually* have PFNs falling into our memory block: we set zone = NULL and consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used to do. If there is no node id set, we do the same as (2) for the given node. Note that the call order in driver_init() is: -> memory_dev_init(): create memory block devices -> node_dev_init(): link memory block devices to the node and set the node id So in summary, we detect if there is a single zone responsible for this memory block and we consequently store the zone in that case in the memory block, updating it during memory onlining/offlining.
