2012-03-24signal: oom_kill_task: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()Oleg Nesterov1-2/+2
Change oom_kill_task() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not need force_ to kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks. And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting thread even if oom_kill_task() checks p->mm != NULL, while do_send_sig_info(group => true) kille the whole process.

2012-03-22memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+8
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's called very frequently. Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its memcg....this is slow. This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not". With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg. Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file, MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the range by madvise() and page fault again. This program causes 26214400 times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().

2012-03-22memcg: use new logic for page stat accountingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2-24/+66
Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by duplicating page's status into the flag. The reason is that memcg has a feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race between "move" and "page stat accounting", Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B. CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B does "page stat accounting". When CPU-A goes 1st, CPU-A CPU-B update "struct page" info. move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg) see pc->flags copy page stat to new group overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg) move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem) set pc->flags update page stat accounting move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem) stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic (CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information. But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and 'struct page_cgroup'. And, there is a potential problem. For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg. PG_..is a flag for struct page. PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup. (This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any kind of page stat accounting.) CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) TestClear PG_dirty if (TestClear(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty-- if (TestSet(PCG_dirty)) memcg->nr_dirty++ Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong. This race was reported by Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com>. Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug, _now_, If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using original 'struct page' information. But we'll have a problem in "move account" Assume we use only PG_dirty. CPU-A CPU-B TestSet PG_dirty (delay) move_lock_mem_cgroup() if (PageDirty(page)) new_memcg->nr_dirty++ pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg; move_unlock_mem_cgroup() move_lock_mem_cgroup() memcg = pc->mem_cgroup new_memcg->nr_dirty++ accounting information may be double-counted. This was original reason to have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem. I think we need a bigger lock as move_lock_mem_cgroup(page) TestSetPageDirty(page) update page stats (without any checks) move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page) This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into page_cgroup. Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there are possibility of "account move" under the system. So, in most path, status update will go without atomic locks. This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying 'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it. as mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() modify page information mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() => never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters. mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat(). This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/ end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not. A following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

2012-03-22memcg: remove PCG_MOVE_LOCK flag from page_cgroupKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-10/+32
PCG_MOVE_LOCK is used for bit spinlock to avoid race between overwriting pc->mem_cgroup and page statistics accounting per memcg. This lock helps to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving tasks between cgroup is not a usual job. So, it seems using 1bit per page is too costly. This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes PCG_MOVE_LOCK. If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but I'd like to start from this.

2012-03-22memcg: simplify move_account() checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-40/+30
In memcg, for avoiding take-lock-irq-off at accessing page_cgroup, a logic, flag + rcu_read_lock(), is used. This works as following CPU-A CPU-B rcu_read_lock() set flag if(flag is set) take heavy lock do job. synchronize_rcu() rcu_read_unlock() take heavy lock. In recent discussion, it's argued that using per-cpu value for this flag just complicates the code because 'set flag' is very rare. This patch changes 'flag' implementation from percpu to atomic_t. This will be much simpler.

2012-03-22memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flagKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-25/+32
We record 'the page is cache' with the PCG_CACHE bit in page_cgroup. Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This doesn't include shmem. Considering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know what the page is and we don't need to record it by using one bit per page. This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is. About page migration: Mapping of the used page is not touched during migra tion (see page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct charge type down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for unused page. The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few lines up. But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding another flag just to skip them.

Commit e94c8a9cbce1 ("memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficient") removed move_lock_page_cgroup(). So we do not have to check PageTransHuge in mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and fallback into the locked accounting because both move_account() and thp split are done with compound_lock so they cannot race. The race between update vs. move is protected by mem_cgroup_stealed. PageTransHuge pages shouldn't appear in this code path currently because we are tracking only file pages at the moment but later we are planning to track also other pages (e.g. mlocked ones).

2012-03-22mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()Konstantin Khlebnikov1-0/+2
Reset the reclaim mode in shrink_active_list() to RECLAIM_MODE_SINGLE | RECLAIM_MODE_ASYNC. (sync/async sign is used only in shrink_page_list and does not affect shrink_active_list) Currenly shrink_active_list() sometimes works in lumpy-reclaim mode, if RECLAIM_MODE_LUMPYRECLAIM is left over from an earlier shrink_inactive_list(). Meanwhile, in age_active_anon() sc->reclaim_mode is totally zero. So the current behavior is too complex and confusing, and this looks like bug. In general, shrink_active_list() populates the inactive list for the next shrink_inactive_list(). Lumpy shring_inactive_list() isolates pages around the chosen one from both the active and inactive lists. So, there is no reason for lumpy isolation in shrink_active_list().

When calling shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB, shmget aligns the request size to PAGE_SIZE, but this is not sufficient. Modify hugetlb_file_setup() to align requests to the huge page size, and to accept an address argument so that all alignment checks can be performed in hugetlb_file_setup(), rather than in its callers. Change newseg() and mmap_pgoff() to match the new prototype and eliminate a now redundant alignment check.

2012-03-22hugepages: fix use after free bug in "quota" handlingDavid Gibson1-27/+108
hugetlbfs_{get,put}_quota() are badly named. They don't interact with the general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour. Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages) associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance. Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page(). This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the associated inode has already been freed. If an unmount occurs at the wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are stored may have been freed. Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock, bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed. Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made the existing layering violation worse. This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and some of the existing, layering violation. It works by introducing the concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from. hugetlbfs now creates a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of the address_space pointer used now. The subpool has its own lifetime and is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e. superblocks) are gone. subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to mean that no subpool limits are in effect. Previous discussion of this bug found in: "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs quota handling.".

2012-03-22cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3Mel Gorman7-47/+95
Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The actual results were 3.3.0-rc3 3.3.0-rc3 rc3-vanilla nobarrier-v2r1 Clients 1 UserTime 0.07 ( 0.00%) 0.08 (-14.19%) Clients 2 UserTime 0.07 ( 0.00%) 0.07 ( 2.72%) Clients 4 UserTime 0.08 ( 0.00%) 0.07 ( 3.29%) Clients 1 SysTime 0.70 ( 0.00%) 0.65 ( 6.65%) Clients 2 SysTime 0.85 ( 0.00%) 0.82 ( 3.65%) Clients 4 SysTime 1.41 ( 0.00%) 1.41 ( 0.32%) Clients 1 WallTime 0.77 ( 0.00%) 0.74 ( 4.19%) Clients 2 WallTime 0.47 ( 0.00%) 0.45 ( 3.73%) Clients 4 WallTime 0.38 ( 0.00%) 0.37 ( 1.58%) Clients 1 Flt/sec/cpu 497620.28 ( 0.00%) 520294.53 ( 4.56%) Clients 2 Flt/sec/cpu 414639.05 ( 0.00%) 429882.01 ( 3.68%) Clients 4 Flt/sec/cpu 257959.16 ( 0.00%) 258761.48 ( 0.31%) Clients 1 Flt/sec 495161.39 ( 0.00%) 517292.87 ( 4.47%) Clients 2 Flt/sec 820325.95 ( 0.00%) 850289.77 ( 3.65%) Clients 4 Flt/sec 1020068.93 ( 0.00%) 1022674.06 ( 0.26%) MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 135.68 132.17 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 164.2 160.13 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 123.46 120.87 The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

So, we end up with an allocation that will fail the goal/limit constraints. In theory, we could "fall-back" to alloc_bootmem_node() in sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node(), but since we actually have HOTREMOVE defined, we'll BUG_ON() instead. A simple solution appears to be to unconditionally remove the limit condition in alloc_bootmem_section, meaning allocations are allowed to cross section boundaries (necessary for systems of this size). Johannes Weiner pointed out that if alloc_bootmem_section() no longer guarantees section-locality, we need check_usemap_section_nr() to print possible cross-dependencies between node descriptors and the usemaps allocated through it. That makes the two loops in sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() identical, so re-factor the code a bit.

2012-03-22mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task structChristoph Lameter2-30/+38
Migration functions perform the rcu_read_unlock too early. As a result the task pointed to may change from under us. This can result in an oops, as reported by Dave Hansen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/302. The following patch extend the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the permissions checks are done. We also take a refcount so that the task reference is stable when calling security check functions and performing cpuset node validation (which takes a mutex). The refcount is dropped before actual page migration occurs so there is no change to the refcounts held during page migration. Also move the determination of the mm of the task struct to immediately before the do_migrate*() calls so that it is clear that we switch from handling the task during permission checks to the mm for the actual migration. Since the determination is only done once and we then no longer use the task_struct we can be sure that we operate on a specific address space that will not change from under us.

For a multithreaded program like the following: #include <pthread.h> void *thread_main(void *foo) { while(1); } int main() { pthread_t t; pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL); pthread_join(t, NULL); } proc/PID/maps looks like the following: 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 00600000-00601000 rw-p 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 019ef000-01a10000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7f8a44491000-7f8a44492000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44c92000-7f8a44e3d000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000 ---p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a4503d000-7f8a45041000 r--p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45041000-7f8a45043000 rw-p 001af000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45043000-7f8a45048000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45048000-7f8a4505f000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4505f000-7f8a4525e000 ---p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525e000-7f8a4525f000 r--p 00016000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525f000-7f8a45260000 rw-p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a45260000-7f8a45264000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45264000-7f8a45286000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45457000-7f8a4545a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45484000-7f8a45485000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45485000-7f8a45486000 r--p 00021000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45486000-7f8a45487000 rw-p 00022000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45487000-7f8a45488000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff6273b000-7fff6275c000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7fff627ff000-7fff62800000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall] Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread stack. Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same content. With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as stack is marked as [stack]. All other 'stack' vmas are marked as anonymous memory. /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view, where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process stack is marked as [stack]. So /proc/PID/maps will look like this: 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 00600000-00601000 rw-p 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 019ef000-01a10000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7f8a44491000-7f8a44492000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack:1442] 7f8a44c92000-7f8a44e3d000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000 ---p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a4503d000-7f8a45041000 r--p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45041000-7f8a45043000 rw-p 001af000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45043000-7f8a45048000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45048000-7f8a4505f000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4505f000-7f8a4525e000 ---p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525e000-7f8a4525f000 r--p 00016000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525f000-7f8a45260000 rw-p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a45260000-7f8a45264000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45264000-7f8a45286000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45457000-7f8a4545a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45484000-7f8a45485000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45485000-7f8a45486000 r--p 00021000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45486000-7f8a45487000 rw-p 00022000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45487000-7f8a45488000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff6273b000-7fff6275c000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7fff627ff000-7fff62800000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall] Thus marking all vmas that are used as stacks by the threads in the thread group along with the process stack.

2012-03-22vmscan: handle isolated pages with lru lock releasedHillf Danton1-11/+10
When shrinking inactive lru list, isolated pages are queued on locally private list, so the lock-hold time could be reduced if pages are counted without lock protection. To achieve that, firstly updating reclaim stat is delayed until the putback stage, after reacquiring the lru lock. Secondly, operations related to vm and zone stats are now proteced with preemption disabled as they are per-cpu operations.
