mm/hugetlb: add dedicated func to get 'allowed' nodemask for current process

2022-09-12T03:25:50+00:00

Muchun Song found that after MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy was introduced in commit b27abaccf8e8 ("mm/mempolicy: add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for multiple preferred nodes"), the policy_nodemask_current()'s semantics for this new policy has been changed, which returns 'preferred' nodes instead of 'allowed' nodes. With the changed semantic of policy_nodemask_current, a task with MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy could fail to get its reservation even though it can fall back to other nodes (either defined by cpusets or all online nodes) for that reservation failing mmap calles unnecessarily early. The fix is to not consider MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for reservations at all because they, unlike MPOL_MBIND, do not pose any actual hard constrain. Michal suggested the policy_nodemask_current() is only used by hugetlb, and could be moved to hugetlb code with more explicit name to enforce the 'allowed' semantics for which only MPOL_BIND policy matters. apply_policy_zone() is made extern to be called in hugetlb code and its return value is changed to bool.

mm/mempolicy: add set_mempolicy_home_node syscall

2022-01-15T14:30:30+00:00

This syscall can be used to set a home node for the MPOL_BIND and MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY memory policy. Users should use this syscall after setting up a memory policy for the specified range as shown below. mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp, new_nodes->size + 1, 0); sys_set_mempolicy_home_node((unsigned long)p, nr_pages * page_size, home_node, 0); The syscall allows specifying a home node/preferred node from which kernel will fulfill memory allocation requests first. For address range with MPOL_BIND memory policy, if nodemask specifies more than one node, page allocations will come from the node in the nodemask with sufficient free memory that is closest to the home node/preferred node. For MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY if the nodemask specifies more than one node, page allocation will come from the node in the nodemask with sufficient free memory that is closest to the home node/preferred node. If there is not enough memory in all the nodes specified in the nodemask, the allocation will be attempted from the closest numa node to the home node in the system. This helps applications to hint at a memory allocation preference node and fallback to _only_ a set of nodes if the memory is not available on the preferred node. Fallback allocation is attempted from the node which is nearest to the preferred node. This helps applications to have control on memory allocation numa nodes and avoids default fallback to slow memory NUMA nodes. For example a system with NUMA nodes 1,2 and 3 with DRAM memory and 10, 11 and 12 of slow memory new_nodes = numa_bitmask_alloc(nr_nodes); numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 1); numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 2); numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 3); p = mmap(NULL, nr_pages * page_size, protflag, mapflag, -1, 0); mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp, new_nodes->size + 1, 0); sys_set_mempolicy_home_node(p, nr_pages * page_size, 2, 0); This will allocate from nodes closer to node 2 and will make sure the kernel will only allocate from nodes 1, 2, and 3. Memory will not be allocated from slow memory nodes 10, 11, and 12. This differs from default MPOL_BIND behavior in that with default MPOL_BIND the allocation will be attempted from node closer to the local node. One of the reasons to specify a home node is to allow allocations from cpu less NUMA node and its nearby NUMA nodes. With MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY on the other hand will first try to allocate from the closest node to node 2 from the node list 1, 2 and 3. If those nodes don't have enough memory, kernel will allocate from slow memory node 10, 11 and 12 which ever is closer to node 2.

mm: migrate: make demotion knob depend on migration

2021-11-06T20:30:41+00:00

The memory demotion needs to call migrate_pages() to do the jobs. And it is controlled by a knob, however, the knob doesn't depend on CONFIG_MIGRATION. The knob could be truned on even though MIGRATION is disabled, this will not cause any crash since migrate_pages() would just return -ENOSYS. But it is definitely not optimal to go through demotion path then retry regular swap every time. And it doesn't make too much sense to have the knob visible to the users when !MIGRATION. Move the related code from mempolicy.[h|c] to migrate.[h|c].

mm/hugetlb: add support for mempolicy MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY

2021-09-03T16:58:17+00:00

Implement the missing huge page allocation functionality while obeying the preferred node semantics. This is similar to the implementation for general page allocation, as it uses a fallback mechanism to try multiple preferred nodes first, and then all other nodes. To avoid adding too many "#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA" check, add a helper function in mempolicy.h to check whether a mempolicy is MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.

mm/migrate: add sysfs interface to enable reclaim migration

2021-09-03T16:58:16+00:00

Some method is obviously needed to enable reclaim-based migration. Just like traditional autonuma, there will be some workloads that will benefit like workloads with more "static" configurations where hot pages stay hot and cold pages stay cold. If pages come and go from the hot and cold sets, the benefits of this approach will be more limited. The benefits are truly workload-based and *not* hardware-based. We do not believe that there is a viable threshold where certain hardware configurations should have this mechanism enabled while others do not. To be conservative, earlier work defaulted to disable reclaim- based migration and did not include a mechanism to enable it. This proposes add a new sysfs file /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled as a method to enable it. We are open to any alternative that allows end users to enable this mechanism or disable it if workload harm is detected (just like traditional autonuma). Once this is enabled page demotion may move data to a NUMA node that does not fall into the cpuset of the allocating process. This could be construed to violate the guarantees of cpusets. However, since this is an opt-in mechanism, the assumption is that anyone enabling it is content to relax the guarantees.

mm/mempolicy: use unified 'nodes' for bind/interleave/prefer policies

2021-07-01T03:47:29+00:00

Current structure 'mempolicy' uses a union to store the node info for bind/interleave/perfer policies. union { short preferred_node; /* preferred */ nodemask_t nodes; /* interleave/bind */ /* undefined for default */ } v; Since preferred node can also be represented by a nodemask_t with only ont bit set, unify these policies with using one nodemask_t 'nodes', which can remove a union, simplify the code and make it easier to support future's new policy's node info.

mm/mempolicy: cleanup nodemask intersection check for oom

2021-07-01T03:47:29+00:00

Patch series "mm/mempolicy: some fix and semantics cleanup", v4. Current memory policy code has some confusing and ambiguous part about MPOL_LOCAL policy, as it is handled as a faked MPOL_PREFERRED one, and there are many places having to distinguish them. Also the nodemask intersection check needs cleanup to be more explicit for OOM use, and handle MPOL_INTERLEAVE correctly. This patchset cleans up these and unifies the parameter sanity check for mbind() and set_mempolicy(). This patch (of 3): mempolicy_nodemask_intersects seem to be a general purpose mempolicy function. In fact it is partially tailored for the OOM purpose instead. The oom proper is the only existing user so rename the function to make that purpose explicit. While at it drop the MPOL_INTERLEAVE as those allocations never has a nodemask defined (see alloc_page_interleave) so this is a dead code and a confusing one because MPOL_INTERLEAVE is a hint rather than a hard requirement so it shouldn't be considered during the OOM. The final code can be reduced to a check for MPOL_BIND which is the only memory policy that is a hard requirement and thus relevant to a constrained OOM logic.

mm/hugetlb: add mempolicy check in the reservation routine

2020-08-12T17:57:55+00:00

In the reservation routine, we only check whether the cpuset meets the memory allocation requirements. But we ignore the mempolicy of MPOL_BIND case. If someone mmap hugetlb succeeds, but the subsequent memory allocation may fail due to mempolicy restrictions and receives the SIGBUS signal. This can be reproduced by the follow steps. 1) Compile the test case. cd tools/testing/selftests/vm/ gcc map_hugetlb.c -o map_hugetlb 2) Pre-allocate huge pages. Suppose there are 2 numa nodes in the system. Each node will pre-allocate one huge page. echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 3) Run test case(mmap 4MB). We receive the SIGBUS signal. numactl --membind=3D0 ./map_hugetlb 4 With this patch applied, the mmap will fail in the step 3) and throw "mmap: Cannot allocate memory".
