fs: inode: count invalidated shadow pages in pginodesteal

2021-09-03T16:58:10+00:00

pginodesteal is supposed to capture the impact that inode reclaim has on the page cache state. Currently, it doesn't consider shadow pages that get dropped this way, even though this can have a significant impact on paging behavior, memory pressure calculations etc. To improve visibility into these effects, make sure shadow pages get counted when they get dropped through inode reclaim. This changes the return value semantics of invalidate_mapping_pages() semantics slightly, but the only two users are the inode shrinker itsel and a usb driver that logs it for debugging purposes.

mm: remove irqsave/restore locking from contexts with irqs enabled

2021-09-03T16:58:10+00:00

The page cache deletion paths all have interrupts enabled, so no need to use irqsafe/irqrestore locking variants. They used to have irqs disabled by the memcg lock added in commit c4843a7593a9 ("memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accounting"), but that has since been replaced by memcg taking the page lock instead, commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge AP").

mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock

2021-07-13T11:14:27+00:00

Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is like: fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / .. truncate_inode_pages_range() Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer. So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock - that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads / readahead. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

mm/thp: unmap_mapping_page() to fix THP truncate_cleanup_page()

2021-06-16T16:24:42+00:00

There is a race between THP unmapping and truncation, when truncate sees pmd_none() and skips the entry, after munmap's zap_huge_pmd() cleared it, but before its page_remove_rmap() gets to decrement compound_mapcount: generating false "BUG: Bad page cache" reports that the page is still mapped when deleted. This commit fixes that, but not in the way I hoped. The first attempt used try_to_unmap(page, TTU_SYNC|TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK) instead of unmap_mapping_range() in truncate_cleanup_page(): it has often been an annoyance that we usually call unmap_mapping_range() with no pages locked, but there apply it to a single locked page. try_to_unmap() looks more suitable for a single locked page. However, try_to_unmap_one() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!pvmw.pte,page): it is used to insert THP migration entries, but not used to unmap THPs. Copy zap_huge_pmd() and add THP handling now? Perhaps, but their TLB needs are different, I'm too ignorant of the DAX cases, and couldn't decide how far to go for anon+swap. Set that aside. The second attempt took a different tack: make no change in truncate.c, but modify zap_huge_pmd() to insert an invalidated huge pmd instead of clearing it initially, then pmd_clear() between page_remove_rmap() and unlocking at the end. Nice. But powerpc blows that approach out of the water, with its serialize_against_pte_lookup(), and interesting pgtable usage. It would need serious help to get working on powerpc (with a minor optimization issue on s390 too). Set that aside. Just add an "if (page_mapped(page)) synchronize_rcu();" or other such delay, after unmapping in truncate_cleanup_page()? Perhaps, but though that's likely to reduce or eliminate the number of incidents, it would give less assurance of whether we had identified the problem correctly. This successful iteration introduces "unmap_mapping_page(page)" instead of try_to_unmap(), and goes the usual unmap_mapping_range_tree() route, with an addition to details. Then zap_pmd_range() watches for this case, and does spin_unlock(pmd_lock) if so - just like page_vma_mapped_walk() now does in the PVMW_SYNC case. Not pretty, but safe. Note that unmap_mapping_page() is doing a VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked) to assert its interface; but currently that's only used to make sure that page->mapping is stable, and zap_pmd_range() doesn't care if the page is locked or not. Along these lines, in invalidate_inode_pages2_range() move the initial unmap_mapping_range() out from under page lock, before then calling unmap_mapping_page() under page lock if still mapped.

mm: stop accounting shadow entries

2021-05-05T18:27:19+00:00

We no longer need to keep track of how many shadow entries are present in a mapping. This saves a few writes to the inode and memory barriers.

mm: introduce and use mapping_empty()

2021-05-05T18:27:19+00:00

Patch series "Remove nrexceptional tracking", v2. We actually use nrexceptional for very little these days. It's a minor pain to keep in sync with nrpages, but the pain becomes much bigger with the THP patches because we don't know how many indices a shadow entry occupies. It's easier to just remove it than keep it accurate. Also, we save 8 bytes per inode which is nothing to sneeze at; on my laptop, it would improve shmem_inode_cache from 22 to 23 objects per 16kB, and inode_cache from 26 to 27 objects. Combined, that saves a megabyte of memory from a combined usage of 25MB for both caches. Unfortunately, ext4 doesn't cross a magic boundary, so it doesn't save any memory for ext4. This patch (of 4): Instead of checking the two counters (nrpages and nrexceptional), we can just check whether i_pages is empty.
