mm: remove unused variable in memory hotplug

2016-10-27T22:49:12Z

When I removed the per-zone bitlock hashed waitqueues in commit 9dcb8b685fc3 ("mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues"), I removed all the magic hotplug memory initialization of said waitqueues too. But when I actually _tested_ the resulting build, I stupidly assumed that "allmodconfig" would enable memory hotplug. And it doesn't, because it enables KASAN instead, which then disables hotplug memory support. As a result, my build test of the per-zone waitqueues was totally broken, and I didn't notice that the compiler warns about the now unused iterator variable 'i'. I guess I should be happy that that seems to be the worst breakage from my clearly horribly failed test coverage. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueues

2016-10-27T16:27:57Z

The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

mm/hugetlb: check for reserved hugepages during memory offline

2016-10-08T01:46:29Z

In dissolve_free_huge_pages(), free hugepages will be dissolved without making sure that there are enough of them left to satisfy hugepage reservations. Fix this by adding a return value to dissolve_free_huge_pages() and checking h->free_huge_pages vs. h->resv_huge_pages. Note that this may lead to the situation where dissolve_free_huge_page() returns an error and all free hugepages that were dissolved before that error are lost, while the memory block still cannot be set offline.

mem-hotplug: use nodes that contain memory as mask in new_node_page()

2016-09-28T23:19:02Z

9bb627be47a5 ("mem-hotplug: don't clear the only node in new_node_page()") prevents allocating from an empty nodemask, but as David points out, it is still wrong. As node_online_map may include memoryless nodes, only allocating from these nodes is meaningless. This patch uses node_states[N_MEMORY] mask to prevent the above case.

mem-hotplug: don't clear the only node in new_node_page()

2016-09-19T22:36:16Z

Commit 394e31d2ceb4 ("mem-hotplug: alloc new page from a nearest neighbor node when mem-offline") introduced new_node_page() for memory hotplug. In new_node_page(), the nid is cleared before calling __alloc_pages_nodemask(). But if it is the only node of the system, and the first round allocation fails, it will not be able to get memory from an empty nodemask, and will trigger oom. The patch checks whether it is the last node on the system, and if it is, then don't clear the nid in the nodemask.

mem-hotplug: alloc new page from a nearest neighbor node when mem-offline

2016-07-28T23:07:41Z

If we offline a node, alloc the new page from a nearest neighbor node instead of the current node or other remote nodes, because re-migrate is a waste of time and the distance of the remote nodes is often very large. Also use GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE to alloc new page if the zone is movable zone or highmem zone.

mm, vmscan: simplify the logic deciding whether kswapd sleeps

2016-07-28T23:07:41Z

kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it should stay awake based on the classzone_idx and the requested order. It is unnecessarily complex and passes in an invalid classzone_idx to balance_pgdat(). What matters most of all is whether a larger order has been requsted and whether kswapd successfully reclaimed at the previous order. This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end result is less headache inducing.

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node

2016-07-28T23:07:41Z

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.

memory-hotplug: more general validation of zone during online

2016-07-26T23:19:19Z

When memory is onlined, we are only able to rezone from ZONE_MOVABLE to ZONE_KERNEL, or from (ZONE_MOVABLE - 1) to ZONE_MOVABLE. To be more flexible, use the following criteria instead; to online memory from zone X into zone Y, * Any zones between X and Y must be unused. * If X is lower than Y, the onlined memory must lie at the end of X. * If X is higher than Y, the onlined memory must lie at the start of X. Add zone_can_shift() to make this determination.
