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.

Patch series "mm: add new syscall set_mempolicy_home_node", v6.
This patch (of 3):
A followup patch will enable setting a home node with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY memory policy. To facilitate that switch to using
policy_node helper. There is no functional change in this patch.

alloc_pages_vma is meant to allocate a page with a vma specific memory
policy. The initial node parameter is always a local node so it is
pointless to waste a function argument for this. Drop the parameter.

In many userspace applications, and especially in VM based applications
like Android uses heavily, there are multiple different allocators in
use. At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases
there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous
memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big
objects, etc.). Each of these layers usually has its own tools to
inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through
heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way
to track them.
On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of
the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages
mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs.
unique mappings, backing, etc. This can account for real physical
memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses
heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between
processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages. It produces
a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for
unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process
with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that
share them (PSS).
If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real
physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap
walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or
for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking
logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory
across the whole system.
Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems.
It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every
process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon
request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody
needs to clean up on crashes. It needs to be readable while the process
is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with
every layer of userspace. Efficiently tracking the ranges requires
reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it
from every layer of userspace. It requires more memory, more syscalls,
more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that
the kernel is already tracking.
This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a
userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas. The names of named
anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as
[anon:<name>].
Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling
prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name)
Setting the name to NULL clears it. The name length limit is 80 bytes
including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii
characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.
Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas,
which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or
/proc/pid/smaps. Names can be standardized for a given system and they
can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a
library, tid of the thread using it, etc.
The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct
that points to a null terminated string. Anonymous vmas with the same
name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged.
The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the
same name. The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are
only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage.
CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this
feature. It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any
additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on
systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas.
The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more
specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal.
It used a userspace pointer to store vma names. In that design, name
pointers could be shared between vmas. However during the last
upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach
and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform
validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from
vm_area_struct.
One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup
anonymous vma names. Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with
worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest
possible names [4]. I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device
and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a
process.
This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the
pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the
name pointer between vmas of the same name. Instead of duplicating the
string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Changes for prctl(2) manual page (in the options section):
PR_SET_VMA
Sets an attribute specified in arg2 for virtual memory areas
starting from the address specified in arg3 and spanning the
size specified in arg4. arg5 specifies the value of the attribute
to be set. Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory
area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual
memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value.
Currently, arg2 must be one of:
PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME
Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should
be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the
name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed
80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate
anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name
can contain only printable ascii characters (including
space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.
This feature is available only if the kernel is built with
the CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME option enabled.

alloc_pages_vma() may try to allocate THP page on the local NUMA node
first:
page = __alloc_pages_node(hpage_node,
gfp | __GFP_THISNODE | __GFP_NORETRY, order);
And if the allocation fails it retries allowing remote memory:
if (!page && (gfp & __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM))
page = __alloc_pages_node(hpage_node,
gfp, order);
However, this retry allocation completely ignores memory policy nodemask
allowing allocation to escape restrictions.
The first appearance of this bug seems to be the commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings").
The bug disappeared later in the commit 89c83fb539f9 ("mm, thp:
consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask") and
reappeared again in slightly different form in the commit 76e654cc91bb
("mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when
madvised")
Fix this by passing correct nodemask to the __alloc_pages() call.

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].

allocation
Commit ffb29b1c255a ("mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash
tables") can cause significant performance regressions in some
situations as Andrew mentioned in [1]. The main situation is vmalloc,
vmalloc will allocate pages with NUMA_NO_NODE by default, that will
result in alloc page one by one;
In order to solve this, __alloc_pages_bulk and mempolicy should be
considered at the same time.
1) If node is specified in memory allocation request, it will alloc all
pages by __alloc_pages_bulk.
2) If interleaving allocate memory, it will cauculate how many pages
should be allocated in each node, and use __alloc_pages_bulk to alloc
pages in each node.

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
"Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
precise page containing a particular byte.
The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE.
I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags:
Christoph Hellwig, David Howells, Jan Kara, Jeff Layton, Johannes
Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil

syzbot reported access to unitialized memory in mbind() [1]
Issue came with commit bda420b98505 ("numa balancing: migrate on fault
among multiple bound nodes")
This commit added a new bit in MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, but only checked valid
combination (MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING can only be used with MPOL_BIND) in
do_set_mempolicy()
This patch moves the check in sanitize_mpol_flags() so that it is also

The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third

zonelist->zoneref->zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic.
In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol->v.nodes, after
this other threads may chang pol->v.nodes before next_node(). This race
condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES. So put pol->nodes in
a local variable.

The compat implementations for mbind, get_mempolicy, set_mempolicy and
migrate_pages are just there to handle the subtly different layout of
bitmaps on 32-bit hosts.
The compat implementation however lacks some of the checks that are
present in the native one, in particular for checking that the extra bits
are all zero when user space has a larger mask size than the kernel.
Worse, those extra bits do not get cleared when copying in or out of the
kernel, which can lead to incorrect data as well.
Unify the implementation to handle the compat bitmap layout directly in
the get_nodes() and copy_nodes_to_user() helpers. Splitting out the
get_bitmap() helper from get_nodes() also helps readability of the native
case.
On x86, two additional problems are addressed by this: compat tasks can
pass a bitmap at the end of a mapping, causing a fault when reading across
the page boundary for a 64-bit word. x32 tasks might also run into
problems with get_mempolicy corrupting data when an odd number of 32-bit
words gets passed.
On parisc the migrate_pages() system call apparently had the wrong calling
convention, as big-endian architectures expect the words inside of a
bitmap to be swapped. This is not a problem though since parisc has no
NUMA support.

Adds a new mode to the existing mempolicy modes, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY will be adequately documented in the internal
admin-guide with this patch. Eventually, the man pages for mbind(2),
get_mempolicy(2), set_mempolicy(2) and numactl(8) will also have text
about this mode. Those shall contain the canonical reference.
NUMA systems continue to become more prevalent. New technologies like
PMEM make finer grain control over memory access patterns increasingly
desirable. MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY allows userspace to specify a set of nodes
that will be tried first when performing allocations. If those
allocations fail, all remaining nodes will be tried. It's a straight
forward API which solves many of the presumptive needs of system
administrators wanting to optimize workloads on such machines. The mode
will work either per VMA, or per thread.

The semantics of MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY is similar to MPOL_PREFERRED, that it
will first try to allocate memory from the preferred node(s), and fallback
to all nodes in system when first try fails.
Add a dedicated function alloc_pages_preferred_many() for it just like for
'interleave' policy, which will be used by 2 general memoory allocation
APIs: alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_vma()

Patch series "Introduce multi-preference mempolicy", v7.
This patch series introduces the concept of the MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY
mempolicy. This mempolicy mode can be used with either the
set_mempolicy(2) or mbind(2) interfaces. Like the MPOL_PREFERRED
interface, it allows an application to set a preference for nodes which
will fulfil memory allocation requests. Unlike the MPOL_PREFERRED mode,
it takes a set of nodes. Like the MPOL_BIND interface, it works over a
set of nodes. Unlike MPOL_BIND, it will not cause a SIGSEGV or invoke the
OOM killer if those preferred nodes are not available.
Along with these patches are patches for libnuma, numactl, numademo, and
memhog. They still need some polish, but can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/bwidawsk/numactl/-/tree/prefer-many It allows new
usage: `numactl -P 0,3,4`
The goal of the new mode is to enable some use-cases when using tiered memory
usage models which I've lovingly named.
1a. The Hare - The interconnect is fast enough to meet bandwidth and
latency requirements allowing preference to be given to all nodes with
"fast" memory.
1b. The Indiscriminate Hare - An application knows it wants fast
memory (or perhaps slow memory), but doesn't care which node it runs
on. The application can prefer a set of nodes and then xpu bind to
the local node (cpu, accelerator, etc). This reverses the nodes are
chosen today where the kernel attempts to use local memory to the CPU
whenever possible. This will attempt to use the local accelerator to
the memory.
2. The Tortoise - The administrator (or the application itself) is
aware it only needs slow memory, and so can prefer that.
Much of this is almost achievable with the bind interface, but the bind
interface suffers from an inability to fallback to another set of nodes if
binding fails to all nodes in the nodemask.
Like MPOL_BIND a nodemask is given. Inherently this removes ordering from the
preference.
> /* Set first two nodes as preferred in an 8 node system. */
> const unsigned long nodes = 0x3
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8);
> /* Mimic interleave policy, but have fallback *.
> const unsigned long nodes = 0xaa
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, &nodes, 8);
Some internal discussion took place around the interface. There are two
alternatives which we have discussed, plus one I stuck in:
1. Ordered list of nodes. Currently it's believed that the added
complexity is nod needed for expected usecases.
2. A flag for bind to allow falling back to other nodes. This
confuses the notion of binding and is less flexible than the current
solution.
3. Create flags or new modes that helps with some ordering. This
offers both a friendlier API as well as a solution for more customized
usage. It's unknown if it's worth the complexity to support this.
Here is sample code for how this might work:
> // Prefer specific nodes for some something wacky
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, 0x17c, 1024);
>
> // Default
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_SOCKET, NULL, 0);
> // which is the same as
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_DEFAULT, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Hare
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Tortoise
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE_REV, NULL, 0);
>
> // Prefer the fast memory of the first two sockets
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, -1, 2);
>
This patch (of 5):
The NUMA APIs currently allow passing in a "preferred node" as a single
bit set in a nodemask. If more than one bit it set, bits after the first
are ignored.
This single node is generally OK for location-based NUMA where memory
being allocated will eventually be operated on by a single CPU. However,
in systems with multiple memory types, folks want to target a *type* of
memory instead of a location. For instance, someone might want some
high-bandwidth memory but do not care about the CPU next to which it is
allocated. Or, they want a cheap, high capacity allocation and want to
target all NUMA nodes which have persistent memory in volatile mode. In
both of these cases, the application wants to target a *set* of nodes, but
does not want strict MPOL_BIND behavior as that could lead to OOM killer
or SIGSEGV.
So add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy to support the multiple preferred nodes
requirement. This is not a pie-in-the-sky dream for an API. This was a
response to a specific ask of more than one group at Intel. Specifically:
1. There are existing libraries that target memory types such as
https://github.com/memkind/memkind. These are known to suffer from
SIGSEGV's when memory is low on targeted memory "kinds" that span more
than one node. The MCDRAM on a Xeon Phi in "Cluster on Die" mode is an
example of this.
2. Volatile-use persistent memory users want to have a memory policy
which is targeted at either "cheap and slow" (PMEM) or "expensive and
fast" (DRAM). However, they do not want to experience allocation
failures when the targeted type is unavailable.
3. Allocate-then-run. Generally, we let the process scheduler decide
on which physical CPU to run a task. That location provides a default
allocation policy, and memory availability is not generally considered
when placing tasks. For situations where memory is valuable and
constrained, some users want to allocate memory first, *then* allocate
close compute resources to the allocation. This is the reverse of the
normal (CPU) model. Accelerators such as GPUs that operate on
core-mm-managed memory are interested in this model.
A check is added in sanitize_mpol_flags() to not permit 'prefer_many'
policy to be used for now, and will be removed in later patch after all
implementations for 'prefer_many' are ready, as suggested by Michal Hocko.

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.

Under normal circumstances, migrate_pages() returns the number of pages
migrated. In error conditions, it returns an error code. When returning
an error code, there is no way to know how many pages were migrated or not
migrated.
Make migrate_pages() return how many pages are demoted successfully for
all cases, including when encountering errors. Page reclaim behavior will
depend on this in subsequent patches.

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.

When trying to migrate pages to obey mempolicy, the huge zero page is
split by inserting base zero pfn to all PTEs, then the page table walk
fallback to PTE level and just skips zero page. Skipping zero page for
mempolicy has been the behavior of kernel since v2.6.16 due to commit
f4598c8b3678 ("[PATCH] migration: make sure there is no attempt to migrate
reserved pages."). So it seems pointless to split huge zero page, it
could be just skipped like base zero page.
Set ACTION_CONTINUE to prevent the walk_page_range() split the pmd for
this case.

Currently the kernel_mbind() and kernel_set_mempolicy() do almost the same
operation for parameter sanity check.
Add a helper function to unify the code to reduce the redundancy, and make
it easier for changing the sanity check code in future.
[thanks to David Rientjes for suggesting using helper function instead of
macro].

MPOL_LOCAL policy has been setup as a real policy, but it is still handled
like a faked POL_PREFERRED policy with one internal MPOL_F_LOCAL flag bit
set, and there are many places having to judge the real 'prefer' or the
'local' policy, which are quite confusing.
In current code, there are 4 cases that MPOL_LOCAL are used:
1. user specifies 'local' policy
2. user specifies 'prefer' policy, but with empty nodemask
3. system 'default' policy is used
4. 'prefer' policy + valid 'preferred' node with MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES
flag set, and when it is 'rebind' to a nodemask which doesn't contains
the 'preferred' node, it will perform as 'local' policy
So make 'local' a real policy instead of a fake 'prefer' one, and kill
MPOL_F_LOCAL bit, which can greatly reduce the confusion for code reading.
For case 4, the logic of mpol_rebind_preferred() is confusing, as Michal
Hocko pointed out:
: I do believe that rebinding preferred policy is just bogus and it should
: be dropped altogether on the ground that a preference is a mere hint from
: userspace where to start the allocation. Unless I am missing something
: cpusets will be always authoritative for the final placement. The
: preferred node just acts as a starting point and it should be really
: preserved when cpusets changes. Otherwise we have a very subtle behavior
: corner cases.
So dump all the tricky transformation between 'prefer' and 'local', and
just record the new nodemask of rebinding.

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.

NUMA statistics are maintained on the zone level for hits, misses, foreign
etc but nothing relies on them being perfectly accurate for functional
correctness. The counters are used by userspace to get a general overview
of a workloads NUMA behaviour but the page allocator incurs a high cost to
maintain perfect accuracy similar to what is required for a vmstat like
NR_FREE_PAGES. There even is a sysctl vm.numa_stat to allow userspace to
turn off the collection of NUMA statistics like NUMA_HIT.
This patch converts NUMA_HIT and friends to be NUMA events with similar
accuracy to VM events. There is a possibility that slight errors will be
introduced but the overall trend as seen by userspace will be similar.
The counters are no longer updated from vmstat_refresh context as it is
unnecessary overhead for counters that may never be read by userspace.
Note that counters could be maintained at the node level to save space but
it would have a user-visible impact due to /proc/zoneinfo.

Currently, migrate_[prep|finish] is merely a wrapper of
lru_cache_[disable|enable]. There is not much to gain from having
additional abstraction.
Use lru_cache_[disable|enable] instead of migrate_[prep|finish], which
would be more descriptive.
note: migrate_prep_local in compaction.c changed into lru_add_drain to
avoid CPU schedule cost with involving many other CPUs to keep old
behavior.

LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It
could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than
the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of
migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all
before migrate_pages call.
However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the
draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep
preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have
retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail
but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race
between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration
failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end.
To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during
ongoing migration until migrate is done.
Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times
migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync
migration) with below debug code.
int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page,
..
..
if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) {
printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc);
dump_page(page, "fail to migrate");
}
The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in
background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500
during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced
from 400 to 30.
The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently
drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather
suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation.
With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in
line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as
well.

When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled, alloc_pages() is a wrapper around
alloc_pages_current(). This is pointless, just implement alloc_pages()
directly.

There are only two callers of __alloc_pages() so prune the thicket of
alloc_page variants by combining the two functions together. Current
callers of __alloc_pages() simply add an extra 'NULL' parameter and
current callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() call __alloc_pages() instead.

The helper range_in_vma() is introduced via commit 017b1660df89 ("mm:
migration: fix migration of huge PMD shared pages"). But we forgot to
use it in queue_pages_test_walk().

Now, NUMA balancing can only optimize the page placement among the NUMA
nodes if the default memory policy is used. Because the memory policy
specified explicitly should take precedence. But this seems too strict in
some situations. For example, on a system with 4 NUMA nodes, if the
memory of an application is bound to the node 0 and 1, NUMA balancing can
potentially migrate the pages between the node 0 and 1 to reduce
cross-node accessing without breaking the explicit memory binding policy.
So in this patch, we add MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING mode flag to
set_mempolicy() when mode is MPOL_BIND. With the flag specified, NUMA
balancing will be enabled within the thread to optimize the page placement
within the constrains of the specified memory binding policy. With the
newly added flag, the NUMA balancing control mechanism becomes,
- sysctl knob numa_balancing can enable/disable the NUMA balancing
globally.
- even if sysctl numa_balancing is enabled, the NUMA balancing will be
disabled for the memory areas or applications with the explicit
memory policy by default.
- MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING can be used to enable the NUMA balancing for
the applications when specifying the explicit memory policy
(MPOL_BIND).
Various page placement optimization based on the NUMA balancing can be
done with these flags. As the first step, in this patch, if the memory of
the application is bound to multiple nodes (MPOL_BIND), and in the hint
page fault handler the accessing node are in the policy nodemask, the page
will be tried to be migrated to the accessing node to reduce the
cross-node accessing.
If the newly added MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified by an
application on an old kernel version without its support, set_mempolicy()
will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL. The application can use
this behavior to run on both old and new kernel versions.
And if the MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified for the mode other than
MPOL_BIND, set_mempolicy() will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL
as before. Because we don't support optimization based on the NUMA
balancing for these modes.
In the previous version of the patch, we tried to reuse MPOL_MF_LAZY for
mbind(). But that flag is tied to MPOL_MF_MOVE.*, so it seems not a good
API/ABI for the purpose of the patch.
And because it's not clear whether it's necessary to enable NUMA balancing
for a specific memory area inside an application, so we only add the flag
at the thread level (set_mempolicy()) instead of the memory area level
(mbind()). We can do that when it become necessary.
To test the patch, we run a test case as follows on a 4-node machine with
192 GB memory (48 GB per node).
1. Change pmbench memory accessing benchmark to call set_mempolicy()
to bind its memory to node 1 and 3 and enable NUMA balancing. Some
related code snippets are as follows,
#include <numaif.h>
#include <numa.h>
struct bitmask *bmp;
int ret;
bmp = numa_parse_nodestring("1,3");
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND | MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING,
bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1);
/* If MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING isn't supported, fall back to MPOL_BIND */
if (ret < 0 && errno == EINVAL)
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND, bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1);
if (ret < 0) {
perror("Failed to call set_mempolicy");
exit(-1);
}
2. Run a memory eater on node 3 to use 40 GB memory before running pmbench.
3. Run pmbench with 64 processes, the working-set size of each process
is 640 MB, so the total working-set size is 64 * 640 MB = 40 GB. The
CPU and the memory (as in step 1.) of all pmbench processes is bound
to node 1 and 3. So, after CPU usage is balanced, some pmbench
processes run on the CPUs of the node 3 will access the memory of
the node 1.
4. After the pmbench processes run for 100 seconds, kill the memory
eater. Now it's possible for some pmbench processes to migrate
their pages from node 1 to node 3 to reduce cross-node accessing.
Test results show that, with the patch, the pages can be migrated from
node 1 to node 3 after killing the memory eater, and the pmbench score
can increase about 17.5%.

After commit 236c32eb1096 ("mm: migrate: clean up migrate_prep{_local}")',
do_migrate_pages can return uninitialized variable 'err' (which is
propagated to user-space as error) when 'from' and 'to' nodesets are
identical. This can be reproduced with LTP migrate_pages01, which calls
migrate_pages() with same set for both old/new_nodes.
Add 'err' initialization back.

When flags in queue_pages_pte_range don't have MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL bits, code breaks and passing origin pte - 1 to
pte_unmap_unlock seems like not a good idea.
queue_pages_pte_range can run in MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL mode which doesn't
migrate misplaced pages but returns with EIO when encountering such a
page. Since commit a7f40cfe3b7a ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return
-EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified") and early break on the first pte
in the range results in pte_unmap_unlock on an underflow pte. This can
lead to lockups later on when somebody tries to lock the pte resp.
page_table_lock again..
