14 years agooom: /proc/<pid>/oom_score treat kernel thread honestly

oom: /proc/<pid>/oom_score treat kernel thread honestly

If a kernel thread is using use_mm(), badness() returns a positive value.
This is not a big issue because caller take care of it correctly.  But
there is one exception, /proc/<pid>/oom_score calls badness() directly and
doesn't care that the task is a regular process.

Another example, /proc/1/oom_score return !0 value.  But it's unkillable.
This incorrectness makes administration a little confusing.

This patch fixes it.

14 years agovmscan: kill prev_priority completely
KOSAKI Motohiro [Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:19:27 +0000 (17:19 -0700)]
vmscan: kill prev_priority completely

Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed
safely. It reduce stack usage slightly.

Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority
can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying
haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach.

The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in
the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information
is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and
Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from.

Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM
would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within
the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there
is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large
amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the
end of the LRU and get unmapped.

There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered
to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller
than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are
being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the
active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity.

Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works
nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it
expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and
more improvement.

The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure
and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to
other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction,
it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim.
per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of
per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation
2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system.

Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about
2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer.
but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the
system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2).
prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word,
prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

14 years agomm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging
Jan Kara [Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:19:12 +0000 (17:19 -0700)]
mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging

We try to avoid livelocks of writeback when some steadily creates dirty
pages in a mapping we are writing out.  For memory-cleaning writeback,
using nr_to_write works reasonably well but we cannot really use it for
data integrity writeback.  This patch tries to solve the problem.

The idea is simple: Tag all pages that should be written back with a
special tag (TOWRITE) in the radix tree.  This can be done rather quickly
and thus livelocks should not happen in practice.  Then we start doing the
hard work of locking pages and sending them to disk only for those pages
that have TOWRITE tag set.

Note: Adding new radix tree tag grows radix tree node from 288 to 296
bytes for 32-bit archs and from 552 to 560 bytes for 64-bit archs.
However, the number of slab/slub items per page remains the same (13 and 7
respectively).

I'm running a shmem pagefault test case (see attached file) under a 64 CPU

100% CPUs time are trying to get the lock.  In the pagefault (no swap)
case, shmem_getpage gets the lock twice, the last one is avoidable if we
prealloc a page so we could reduce one time of locking.  This is what
below patch does.

The result of the test case:
2.6.35-rc3: ~20s
2.6.35-rc3 + patch: ~12s
so this is 40% improvement.

One might argue if we could have better locking for shmem.  But even shmem
is lockless, the pagefault will soon have pagecache lock heavily contented
because shmem must add new page to pagecache.  So before we have better
locking for pagecache, improving shmem locking doesn't have too much
improvement.  I did a similar pagefault test against a ramfs file, the

tmpfs: make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter for used blocks

The current implementation of tmpfs is not scalable.  We found that
stat_lock is contended by multiple threads when we need to get a new page,
leading to useless spinning inside this spin lock.

This patch makes use of the percpu_counter library to maintain local count
of used blocks to speed up getting and returning of pages.  So the
acquisition of stat_lock is unnecessary for getting and returning blocks,
improving the performance of tmpfs on system with large number of cpus.
On a 4 socket 32 core NHM-EX system, we saw improvement of 270%.

The implementation below has a slight chance of race between threads
causing a slight overshoot of the maximum configured blocks.  However, any
overshoot is small, and is bounded by the number of cpus.  This happens
when the number of used blocks is slightly below the maximum configured
blocks when a thread checks the used block count, and another thread
allocates the last block before the current thread does.  This should not
be a problem for tmpfs, as the overshoot is most likely to be a few blocks
and bounded.  If a strict limit is really desired, then configured the max
blocks to be the limit less the number of cpus in system.

oom: sacrifice child with highest badness score for parent

When a task is chosen for oom kill, the oom killer first attempts to
sacrifice a child not sharing its parent's memory instead.  Unfortunately,
this often kills in a seemingly random fashion based on the ordering of
the selected task's child list.  Additionally, it is not guaranteed at all
to free a large amount of memory that we need to prevent additional oom
killing in the very near future.

Instead, we now only attempt to sacrifice the worst child not sharing its
parent's memory, if one exists.  The worst child is indicated with the
highest badness() score.  This serves two advantages: we kill a
memory-hogging task more often, and we allow the configurable
/proc/pid/oom_adj value to be considered as a factor in which child to
kill.

Reviewers may observe that the previous implementation would iterate
through the children and attempt to kill each until one was successful and
then the parent if none were found while the new code simply kills the
most memory-hogging task or the parent.  Note that the only time
oom_kill_task() fails, however, is when a child does not have an mm or has
a /proc/pid/oom_adj of OOM_DISABLE.  badness() returns 0 for both cases,
so the final oom_kill_task() will always succeed.

KSM reference counts can cause an anon_vma to exist after the processe it
belongs to have already exited.  Because the anon_vma lock now lives in
the root anon_vma, we need to ensure that the root anon_vma stays around
until after all the "child" anon_vmas have been freed.

The obvious way to do this is to have a "child" anon_vma take a reference
to the root in anon_vma_fork.  When the anon_vma is freed at munmap or
process exit, we drop the refcount in anon_vma_unlink and possibly free
the root anon_vma.

The KSM anon_vma reference count function also needs to be modified to
deal with the possibility of freeing 2 levels of anon_vma.  The easiest
way to do this is to break out the KSM magic and make it generic.

When compiling without CONFIG_KSM, this code is compiled out.

taking that lock is not expected to introduce any scalability issues.

However, always taking the same lock does mean we only need to take one

list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].

kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
takes a pointer to within the page itself.  This seems to once in a while
trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from

Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]

refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
struct page.

The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
(which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).

drm: fix fallouts from slow-work -> wq conversion

Commit 991ea75c (drm: use workqueue instead of slow-work), which made
drm to use wq instead of slow-work, didn't account for the return
value difference between delayed_slow_work_enqueue() and
queue_delayed_work().  The former returns 0 on success and -errno on
failures while the latter never fails and only uses the return value
to indicate whether the work was already pending or not.

This misconversion triggered spurious error messages.  Remove the now
unnecessary return value check and error message.

made workqueue SMP initialization depend on workqueue_cpu_callback(),
which however was registered as hotcpu_notifier() and didn't get
called if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set.  This made gcwqs on non-boot
