After introducing batching by pagevecs into munlock_vma_range(), we can
further improve performance by bypassing the copying into per-cpu pagevec
and the get_page/put_page pair associated with that. Instead we perform
LRU putback directly from our pagevec. However, this is possible only for
single-mapped pages that are evictable after munlock. Unevictable pages
require rechecking after putting on the unevictable list, so for those we
fallback to putback_lru_page(), hich handles that.
After this patch, a 13% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large
memory area with THP disabled.

Depending on previous batch which introduced batched isolation in
munlock_vma_range(), we can batch also the updates of NR_MLOCK page stats.
After the whole pagevec is processed for page isolation, the stats are
updated only once with the number of successful isolations. There were
however no measurable perfomance gains.

Currently, munlock_vma_range() calls munlock_vma_page on each page in a
loop, which results in repeated taking and releasing of the lru_lock
spinlock for isolating pages one by one. This patch batches the munlock
operations using an on-stack pagevec, so that isolation is done under
single lru_lock. For THP pages, the old behavior is preserved as they
might be split while putting them into the pagevec. After this patch, a
9% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory area with THP
disabled.
A new function __munlock_pagevec() is introduced that takes a pagevec and:
1) It clears PageMlocked and isolates all pages under lru_lock. Zone page
stats can be also updated using the variant which assumes disabled
interrupts. 2) It finishes the munlock and lru putback on all pages under
their lock_page. Note that previously, lock_page covered also the
PageMlocked clearing and page isolation, but it is not needed for those
operations.

In munlock_vma_range(), lru_add_drain() is currently called in a loop
before each munlock_vma_page() call.
This is suboptimal for performance when munlocking many pages. The
benefits of per-cpu pagevec for batching the LRU putback are removed since
the pagevec only holds at most one page from the previous loop's
iteration.
The lru_add_drain() call also does not serve any purposes for correctness
- it does not even drain pagavecs of all cpu's. The munlock code already
expects and handles situations where a page cannot be isolated from the
LRU (e.g. because it is on some per-cpu pagevec).
The history of the (not commented) call also suggest that it appears there
as an oversight rather than intentionally. Before commit ff6a6da6 ("mm:
accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages") the call happened only once
upon entering the function. The commit has moved the call into the while
loope. So while the other changes in the commit improved munlock
performance for THP pages, it introduced the abovementioned suboptimal
per-cpu pagevec usage.
Further in history, before commit 408e82b7 ("mm: munlock use
follow_page"), munlock_vma_pages_range() was just a wrapper around
__mlock_vma_pages_range which performed both mlock and munlock depending
on a flag. However, before ba470de4 ("mmap: handle mlocked pages during
map, remap, unmap") the function handled only mlock, not munlock. The
lru_add_drain call thus comes from the implementation in commit b291f000
("mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable" and was intended only for
mlocking, not munlocking. The original intention of draining the LRU
pagevec at mlock time was to ensure the pages were on the LRU before the
lock operation so that they could be placed on the unevictable list
immediately. There is very little motivation to do the same in the
munlock path this, particularly for every single page.
This patch therefore removes the call completely. After removing the
call, a 10% speedup was measured for munlock() of a 56GB large memory area
with THP disabled.

The goal of this patch series is to improve performance of munlock() of
large mlocked memory areas on systems without THP. This is motivated by
reported very long times of crash recovery of processes with such areas,
where munlock() can take several seconds. See
http://lwn.net/Articles/548108/
The work was driven by a simple benchmark (to be included in mmtests) that
mmaps() e.g. 56GB with MAP_LOCKED | MAP_POPULATE and measures the time of
munlock(). Profiling was performed by attaching operf --pid to the
process and sending a signal to trigger the munlock() part and then notify
bach the monitoring wrapper to stop operf, so that only munlock() appears
in the profile.
The profiles have shown that CPU time is spent mostly by atomic operations
and repeated locking per single pages. This series aims to reduce both, starting
from simpler to more complex changes.
Patch 1 performs a simple cleanup in putback_lru_page() so that page lru base
type is not determined without being actually needed.
Patch 2 removes an unnecessary call to lru_add_drain() which drains the per-cpu
pagevec after each munlocked page is put there.
Patch 3 changes munlock_vma_range() to use an on-stack pagevec for isolating
multiple non-THP pages under a single lru_lock instead of locking and
processing each page separately.
Patch 4 changes the NR_MLOCK accounting to be called only once per the pvec
introduced by previous patch.
Patch 5 uses the introduced pagevec to batch also the work of putback_lru_page
when possible, bypassing the per-cpu pvec and associated overhead.
Patch 6 removes a redundant get_page/put_page pair which saves costly atomic
operations.
Patch 7 avoids calling follow_page_mask() on each individual page, and obtains
multiple page references under a single page table lock where possible.
Measurements were made using 3.11-rc3 as a baseline. The first set of
measurements shows the possibly ideal conditions where batching should
help the most. All memory is allocated from a single NUMA node and THP is
disabled.

The second set of measurements simulates the worst possible conditions for
batching by using numactl --interleave, so that there is in fact only one
page per pagevec. Even in this case the series seems to improve
performance thanks to reduced atomic operations and removal of
lru_add_drain().

For completeness, a third set of measurements shows the situation where
THP is enabled and allocations are again done on a single NUMA node. Here
munlock() is already very fast thanks to huge pages, and this series does
not compromise that performance. It seems that the removal of call to
lru_add_drain() still helps a bit.

This patch (of 7):
In putback_lru_page() since commit c53954a092 (""mm: remove lru parameter
from __lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru") it is no longer needed to
determine lru list via page_lru_base_type().
This patch replaces it with simple flag is_unevictable which says that the
page was put on the inevictable list. This is the only information that
matters in subsequent tests.

Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or
expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this
situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap,
loosing soft dirty bit of course.
So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in. When new vma area created (or old expanded)
we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing
soft dirty bit.
Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if
vma area is renewed.

In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads() will
submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits
immediately without doing anything, even though there are dirty inodes in
the system. Thus sync(1) will write all the dirty inodes from a
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.
Fix the problem by using get_nr_dirty_pages() in wakeup_flusher_threads()
instead of calculating number of dirty pages manually. That function also
takes number of dirty inodes into account.

I am working with a tool that simulates oracle database I/O workload.
This tool (orion to be specific -
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16638/iodesign.htm#autoId24>)
allocates hugetlbfs pages using shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB flag. It then
does aio into these pages from flash disks using various common block
sizes used by database. I am looking at performance with two of the most
common block sizes - 1M and 64K. aio performance with these two block
sizes plunged after Transparent HugePages was introduced in the kernel.
Here are performance numbers:
pre-THP 2.6.39 3.11-rc5
1M read 8384 MB/s 5629 MB/s 6501 MB/s
64K read 7867 MB/s 4576 MB/s 4251 MB/s
I have narrowed the performance impact down to the overheads introduced by
THP in __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() routines. perf top shows
>40% of cycles being spent in these two routines. Every time direct I/O
to hugetlbfs pages starts, kernel calls get_page() to grab a reference to
the pages and calls put_page() when I/O completes to put the reference
away. THP introduced significant amount of locking overhead to get_page()
and put_page() when dealing with compound pages because hugepages can be
split underneath get_page() and put_page(). It added this overhead
irrespective of whether it is dealing with hugetlbfs pages or transparent
hugepages. This resulted in 20%-45% drop in aio performance when using
hugetlbfs pages.
Since hugetlbfs pages can not be split, there is no reason to go through
all the locking overhead for these pages from what I can see. I added
code to __get_page_tail() and put_compound_page() to bypass all the
locking code when working with hugetlbfs pages. This improved performance
significantly. Performance numbers with this patch:
pre-THP 3.11-rc5 3.11-rc5 + Patch
1M read 8384 MB/s 6501 MB/s 8371 MB/s
64K read 7867 MB/s 4251 MB/s 6510 MB/s
Performance with 64K read is still lower than what it was before THP, but
still a 53% improvement. It does mean there is more work to be done but I
will take a 53% improvement for now.
Please take a look at the following patch and let me know if it looks
reasonable.

Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages

other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it.
Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do
page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe. But the
other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without
this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages.
To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an
architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd
basis or not. And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are
available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a
hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch
series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
can offline such memory blocks.
What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to
decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy
pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining
in the memory block intervene the memory offlining. For this reason we
introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
dissolve_free_huge_pages().
Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().
As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave
it to fail as it is.

Currently migrate_huge_page() takes a pointer to a hugepage to be migrated
as an argument, instead of taking a pointer to the list of hugepages to be
migrated. This behavior was introduced in commit 189ebff28 ("hugetlb:
simplify migrate_huge_page()"), and was OK because until now hugepage
migration is enabled only for soft-offlining which migrates only one
hugepage in a single call.
But the situation will change in the later patches in this series which
enable other users of page migration to support hugepage migration. They
can kick migration for both of normal pages and hugepages in a single
call, so we need to go back to original implementation which uses linked
lists to collect the hugepages to be migrated.
With this patch, soft_offline_huge_page() switches to use migrate_pages(),
and migrate_huge_page() is not used any more. So let's remove it.

Currently hugepage migration is available only for soft offlining, but
it's also useful for some other users of page migration (clearly because
users of hugepage can enjoy the benefit of mempolicy and memory hotplug.)
So this patchset tries to extend such users to support hugepage migration.
The target of this patchset is to enable hugepage migration for NUMA
related system calls (migrate_pages(2), move_pages(2), and mbind(2)), and
memory hotplug.
This patchset does not add hugepage migration for memory compaction,
because users of memory compaction mainly expect to construct thp by
arranging raw pages, and there's little or no need to compact hugepages.
CMA, another user of page migration, can have benefit from hugepage
migration, but is not enabled to support it for now (just because of lack
of testing and expertise in CMA.)
Hugepage migration of non pmd-based hugepage (for example 1GB hugepage in
x86_64, or hugepages in architectures like ia64) is not enabled for now
(again, because of lack of testing.)
As for how these are achived, I extended the API (migrate_pages()) to
handle hugepage (with patch 1 and 2) and adjusted code of each caller to
check and collect movable hugepages (with patch 3-7). Remaining 2 patches
are kind of miscellaneous ones to avoid unexpected behavior. Patch 8 is
about making sure that we only migrate pmd-based hugepages. And patch 9
is about choosing appropriate zone for hugepage allocation.
My test is mainly functional one, simply kicking hugepage migration via
each entry point and confirm that migration is done correctly. Test code
is available here:
git://github.com/Naoya-Horiguchi/test_hugepage_migration_extension.git
And I always run libhugetlbfs test when changing hugetlbfs's code. With
this patchset, no regression was found in the test.
This patch (of 9):
Before enabling each user of page migration to support hugepage,
this patch enables the list of pages for migration to link not only
LRU pages, but also hugepages. As a result, putback_movable_pages()
and migrate_pages() can handle both of LRU pages and hugepages.

If we fail with a reserved page, just calling put_page() is not
sufficient, because put_page() invoke free_huge_page() at last step and it
doesn't know whether a page comes from a reserved pool or not. So it
doesn't do anything related to reserved count. This makes reserve count
lower than how we need, because reserve count already decrease in

lock_device_hotplug() serializes hotplug & online/offline operations. The
lock is held in common sysfs online/offline interfaces and ACPI hotplug
code paths.
And here are the code paths:
- CPU & Mem online/offline via sysfs online
store_online()->lock_device_hotplug()
- Mem online via sysfs state:
store_mem_state()->lock_device_hotplug()
- ACPI CPU & Mem hot-add:
acpi_scan_bus_device_check()->lock_device_hotplug()
- ACPI CPU & Mem hot-delete:
acpi_scan_hot_remove()->lock_device_hotplug()
try_offline_node() off-lines a node if all memory sections and cpus are
removed on the node. It is called from acpi_processor_remove() and
acpi_memory_remove_memory()->remove_memory() paths, both of which are in
the ACPI hotplug code.
try_offline_node() calls stop_machine() to stop all cpus while checking
all cpu status with the assumption that the caller is not protected from
CPU hotplug or CPU online/offline operations. However, the caller is
always serialized with lock_device_hotplug(). Also, the code needs to be
properly serialized with a lock, not by stopping all cpus at a random
place with stop_machine().
This patch removes the use of stop_machine() in try_offline_node() and
adds comments to try_offline_node() and remove_memory() that
lock_device_hotplug() is required.

add_memory() and remove_memory() can only handle a memory range aligned
with section. There are problems when an unaligned range is added and
then deleted as follows:
- add_memory() with an unaligned range succeeds, but __add_pages()
called from add_memory() adds a whole section of pages even though
a given memory range is less than the section size.
- remove_memory() to the added unaligned range hits BUG_ON() in
__remove_pages().
This patch changes add_memory() and remove_memory() to check if a given
memory range is aligned with section at the beginning. As the result,
add_memory() fails with -EINVAL when a given range is unaligned, and does
not add such memory range. This prevents remove_memory() to be called
with an unaligned range as well. Note that remove_memory() has to use
BUG_ON() since this function cannot fail.

w/ patch: 7129 slower size rampup and start RA on the 3rd read

Before, readahead will be started whenever reading page N+1 when it happen
to read N recently. After patch, we'll only start readahead when *three*
random reads happen to access pages N, N+1, N+2. The probability of this
happening is extremely low for pure random reads, unless they are very
dense, which actually deserves some readahead.
Also start with a smaller readahead window. The impact to interleaved
sequential reads should be small, because for a long run stream, the the
small readahead window rampup phase is negletable.
The context readahead actually benefits clustered random reads on HDD
whose seek cost is pretty high. However as SSD is increasingly used for
random read workloads it's better for the context readahead to concentrate
on interleaved sequential reads.

In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk
(inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of
memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of
correct ending address.
The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the
memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g. when starting
address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending
address will be 0x100000000.
Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

The main idea behind this patchset is to reduce the vmstat update overhead
by avoiding interrupt enable/disable and the use of per cpu atomics.
This patch (of 3):
It is better to have a separate folding function because
refresh_cpu_vm_stats() also does other things like expire pages in the
page allocator caches.
If we have a separate function then refresh_cpu_vm_stats() is only called
from the local cpu which allows additional optimizations.
The folding function is only called when a cpu is being downed and
therefore no other processor will be accessing the counters. Also
simplifies synchronization.

pgtable related functions are mostly in pgtable-generic.c.
So move remaining functions from memory.c to pgtable-generic.c.

We rarely allocate a page with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS and it is used in slow
path. For helping compiler optimization, add unlikely macro to
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS checking.
This patch doesn't have any effect now, because gcc already optimize this
properly. But we cannot assume that gcc always does right and nobody
re-evaluate if gcc do proper optimization with their change, for example,
it is not optimized properly on v3.10. So adding compiler hint here is
reasonable.

If a vma with VM_NORESERVE allocate a new page for page cache, we should
check whether this area is reserved or not. If this address is already
reserved by other process(in case of chg == 0), we should decrement
reserve count, because this allocated page will go into page cache and
currently, there is no way to know that this page comes from reserved pool
or not when releasing inode. This may introduce over-counting problem to
reserved count. With following example code, you can easily reproduce
this situation.
Assume 2MB, nr_hugepages = 100
size = 20 * MB;
flag = MAP_SHARED;
p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return -1;
}
flag = MAP_SHARED | MAP_NORESERVE;
q = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0);
if (q == MAP_FAILED) {
fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
}
q[0] = 'c';
After finish the program, run 'cat /proc/meminfo'. You can see below
result.
HugePages_Free: 100
HugePages_Rsvd: 1
To fix this, we should check our mapping type and tracked region. If our
mapping is VM_NORESERVE, VM_MAYSHARE and chg is 0, this imply that current
allocated page will go into page cache which is already reserved region
when mapping is created. In this case, we should decrease reserve count.
As implementing above, this patch solve the problem.

Now, Checking condition of decrement_hugepage_resv_vma() and
vma_has_reserves() is same, so we can clean-up this function with
vma_has_reserves(). Additionally, decrement_hugepage_resv_vma() has only
one call site, so we can remove function and embed it into
dequeue_huge_page_vma() directly. This patch implement it.
