From 599d0c954f91d0689c9bb421b5bc04ea02437a41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:45:31 -0700 Subject: mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a bdi with the same name is still live. Arrange for the bdi to hold a reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered. Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following: WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 2078 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x64/0x80 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/259:1' Hardware name: HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8, BIOS P79 05/06/2015 0000000000000286 0000000002c04ad5 ffff88006f24f970 ffffffff8134caec ffff88006f24f9c0 0000000000000000 ffff88006f24f9b0 ffffffff8108c351 0000001f0000000c ffff88105d236000 ffff88105d1031e0 ffff8800357427f8 Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x63/0x87 [] __warn+0xd1/0xf0 [] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5f/0x80 [] sysfs_warn_dup+0x64/0x80 [] sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x7e/0x90 [] kobject_add_internal+0xaa/0x320 [] ? vsnprintf+0x34e/0x4d0 [] kobject_add+0x75/0xd0 [] ? mutex_lock+0x12/0x2f [] device_add+0x125/0x610 [] device_create_groups_vargs+0xd8/0x100 [] device_create_vargs+0x1c/0x20 [] bdi_register+0x8c/0x180 [] bdi_register_dev+0x27/0x30 [] add_disk+0x175/0x4a0 Cc: Reported-by: Yi Zhang Tested-by: Yi Zhang Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Fixed up missing 0 return in bdi_register_owner().
