2013-09-24kvm: remove .done from struct kvm_async_pfRadim Krčmář
'.done' is used to mark the completion of 'async_pf_execute()', but 'cancel_work_sync()' returns true when the work was canceled, so we use it instead.

2013-09-19ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowedAnsis Atteka
If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure correct defragmentation on the peer. For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator. If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss or data corruption. Signed-off-by: Ansis Atteka <aatteka@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-09-17KVM: mmu: allow page tables to be in read-only slotsPaolo Bonzini
Page tables in a read-only memory slot will currently cause a triple fault because the page walker uses gfn_to_hva and it fails on such a slot. OVMF uses such a page table; however, real hardware seems to be fine with that as long as the accessed/dirty bits are set. Save whether the slot is readonly, and later check it when updating the accessed and dirty bits.

2013-09-12memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accountingSha Zhengju
Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also be accounted. After Kame's commit 89c06bd52fb9 ("memcg: use new logic for page stat accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead of per page_cgroup flag. But memcg has a feature to move a page from a cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat accounting". So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock: mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() modify page information -->(a) mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() -->(b) mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat(). It's full no-op for !CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave on top in the slow path. There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback(). And the lock order is: --> memcg->move_lock --> mapping->tree_lock Signed-off-by: Sha Zhengju <handai.szj@taobao.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-09-12mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOMJohannes Weiner
The memcg OOM handling is incredibly fragile and can deadlock. When a task fails to charge memory, it invokes the OOM killer and loops right there in the charge code until it succeeds. Comparably, any other task that enters the charge path at this point will go to a waitqueue right then and there and sleep until the OOM situation is resolved. The problem is that these tasks may hold filesystem locks and the mmap_sem; locks that the selected OOM victim may need to exit. For example, in one reported case, the task invoking the OOM killer was about to charge a page cache page during a write(), which holds the i_mutex. The OOM killer selected a task that was just entering truncate() and trying to acquire the i_mutex: OOM invoking task: mem_cgroup_handle_oom+0x241/0x3b0 mem_cgroup_cache_charge+0xbe/0xe0 add_to_page_cache_locked+0x4c/0x140 add_to_page_cache_lru+0x22/0x50 grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x8b/0xe0 ext3_write_begin+0x88/0x270 generic_file_buffered_write+0x116/0x290 __generic_file_aio_write+0x27c/0x480 generic_file_aio_write+0x76/0xf0 # takes ->i_mutex do_sync_write+0xea/0x130 vfs_write+0xf3/0x1f0 sys_write+0x51/0x90 system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d OOM kill victim: do_truncate+0x58/0xa0 # takes i_mutex do_last+0x250/0xa30 path_openat+0xd7/0x440 do_filp_open+0x49/0xa0 do_sys_open+0x106/0x240 sys_open+0x20/0x30 system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d The OOM handling task will retry the charge indefinitely while the OOM killed task is not releasing any resources. A similar scenario can happen when the kernel OOM killer for a memcg is disabled and a userspace task is in charge of resolving OOM situations. In this case, ALL tasks that enter the OOM path will be made to sleep on the OOM waitqueue and wait for userspace to free resources or increase the group's limit. But a userspace OOM handler is prone to deadlock itself on the locks held by the waiting tasks. For example one of the sleeping tasks may be stuck in a brk() call with the mmap_sem held for writing but the userspace handler, in order to pick an optimal victim, may need to read files from /proc/<pid>, which tries to acquire the same mmap_sem for reading and deadlocks. This patch changes the way tasks behave after detecting a memcg OOM and makes sure nobody loops or sleeps with locks held: 1. When OOMing in a user fault, invoke the OOM killer and restart the fault instead of looping on the charge attempt. This way, the OOM victim can not get stuck on locks the looping task may hold. 2. When OOMing in a user fault but somebody else is handling it (either the kernel OOM killer or a userspace handler), don't go to sleep in the charge context. Instead, remember the OOMing memcg in the task struct and then fully unwind the page fault stack with -ENOMEM. pagefault_out_of_memory() will then call back into the memcg code to check if the -ENOMEM came from the memcg, and then either put the task to sleep on the memcg's OOM waitqueue or just restart the fault. The OOM victim can no longer get stuck on any lock a sleeping task may hold. Debugged by Michal Hocko.

2013-09-12memcg: enhance memcg iterator to support predicatesMichal Hocko
The caller of the iterator might know that some nodes or even subtrees should be skipped but there is no way to tell iterators about that so the only choice left is to let iterators to visit each node and do the selection outside of the iterating code. This, however, doesn't scale well with hierarchies with many groups where only few groups are interesting. This patch adds mem_cgroup_iter_cond variant of the iterator with a callback which gets called for every visited node. There are three possible ways how the callback can influence the walk. Either the node is visited, it is skipped but the tree walk continues down the tree or the whole subtree of the current group is skipped.

2013-09-12vmscan, memcg: do softlimit reclaim also for targeted reclaimMichal Hocko
Soft reclaim has been done only for the global reclaim (both background and direct). Since "memcg: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone shrinking code" there is no reason for this limitation anymore as the soft limit reclaim doesn't use any special code paths and it is a part of the zone shrinking code which is used by both global and targeted reclaims. From the semantic point of view it is natural to consider soft limit before touching all groups in the hierarchy tree which is touching the hard limit because soft limit tells us where to push back when there is a memory pressure. It is not important whether the pressure comes from the limit or imbalanced zones. This patch simply enables soft reclaim unconditionally in mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim so it is enabled for both global and targeted reclaim paths. mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible needs to learn about the root of the reclaim to know where to stop checking soft limit state of parents up the hierarchy. Say we have A (over soft limit) \ B (below s.l., hit the hard limit) / \ C D (below s.l.) B is the source of the outside memory pressure now for D but we shouldn't soft reclaim it because it is behaving well under B subtree and we can still reclaim from C (pressumably it is over the limit). mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible should therefore stop climbing up the hierarchy at B (root of the memory pressure).

2013-09-12memcg, vmscan: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone shrinking codeMichal Hocko
This patchset is sitting out of tree for quite some time without any objections. I would be really happy if it made it into 3.12. I do not want to push it too hard but I think this work is basically ready and waiting more doesn't help. The basic idea is quite simple. Pull soft reclaim into shrink_zone in the first step and get rid of the previous soft reclaim infrastructure. shrink_zone is done in two passes now. First it tries to do the soft limit reclaim and it falls back to reclaim-all mode if no group is over the limit or no pages have been scanned. The second pass happens at the same priority so the only time we waste is the memcg tree walk which has been updated in the third step to have only negligible overhead. As a bonus we will get rid of a _lot_ of code by this and soft reclaim will not stand out like before when it wasn't integrated into the zone shrinking code and it reclaimed at priority 0 (the testing results show that some workloads suffers from such an aggressive reclaim). The clean up is in a separate patch because I felt it would be easier to review that way. The second step is soft limit reclaim integration into targeted reclaim. It should be rather straight forward. Soft limit has been used only for the global reclaim so far but it makes sense for any kind of pressure coming from up-the-hierarchy, including targeted reclaim. The third step (patches 4-8) addresses the tree walk overhead by enhancing memcg iterators to enable skipping whole subtrees and tracking number of over soft limit children at each level of the hierarchy. This information is updated same way the old soft limit tree was updated (from memcg_check_events) so we shouldn't see an additional overhead. In fact mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit is much simpler than tree manipulation done previously. __shrink_zone uses mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible as a predicate for mem_cgroup_iter so the decision whether a particular group should be visited is done at the iterator level which allows us to decide to skip the whole subtree as well (if there is no child in excess). This reduces the tree walk overhead considerably. * TEST 1 ======== My primary test case was a parallel kernel build with 2 groups (make is running with -j8 with a distribution .config in a separate cgroup without any hard limit) on a 32 CPU machine booted with 1GB memory and both builds run taskset to Node 0 cpus. I was mostly interested in 2 setups. Default - no soft limit set and - and 0 soft limit set to both groups. The first one should tell us whether the rework regresses the default behavior while the second one should show us improvements in an extreme case where both workloads are always over the soft limit. /usr/bin/time -v has been used to collect the statistics and each configuration had 3 runs after fresh boot without any other load on the system. base is mmotm-2013-07-18-16-40 rework all 8 patches applied on top of base * No-limit User no-limit/base: min: 651.92 max: 672.65 avg: 664.33 std: 8.01 runs: 6 no-limit/rework: min: 657.34 [100.8%] max: 668.39 [99.4%] avg: 663.13 [99.8%] std: 3.61 runs: 6 System no-limit/base: min: 69.33 max: 71.39 avg: 70.32 std: 0.79 runs: 6 no-limit/rework: min: 69.12 [99.7%] max: 71.05 [99.5%] avg: 70.04 [99.6%] std: 0.59 runs: 6 Elapsed no-limit/base: min: 398.27 max: 422.36 avg: 408.85 std: 7.74 runs: 6 no-limit/rework: min: 386.36 [97.0%] max: 438.40 [103.8%] avg: 416.34 [101.8%] std: 18.85 runs: 6 The results are within noise.

While this looks as a nice win it is fair to say that 0-limit configuration is quite artificial. So I was playing with 0-no-limit loads as well. * TEST 2 ======== The following results are from 2 groups configuration on a 16GB machine (single NUMA node). - A running stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=local.file bs=1024) with 2*TotalMem with 0 soft limit. - B running a mem_eater which consumes TotalMem-1G without any limit. The mem_eater consumes the memory in 100 chunks with 1s nap after each mmap+poppulate so that both loads have chance to fight for the memory.

My previous testing has shown worse numbers but this again seem to depend on the storage speed. My theory is that the writeback doesn't catch up and prio-0 soft reclaim falls into wait on writeback page too often in the base kernel. The patched kernel doesn't do that because the soft reclaim is done from the kswapd/direct reclaim context. This can be seen on the following graph nicely. The A's group usage_in_bytes regurarly drops really low very often. All 3 runs http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream.png resp. a detail of the single run http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream-one-run.png mem_eater seems to be doing better as well. It gets to the full allocation size faster as can be seen on the following graph: http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/mem_eater-one-run.png /proc/meminfo collected during the test also shows that rework kernel hasn't swapped that much (well almost not at all): base: max: 123900 K avg: 56388.29 K rework: max: 300 K avg: 128.68 K kswapd and direct reclaim statistics are of no use unfortunatelly because soft reclaim is not accounted properly as the counters are hidden by global_reclaim() checks in the base kernel. * TEST 3 ======== Another test was the same configuration as TEST2 except the stream IO was replaced by a single kbuild (16 parallel jobs bound to Node0 cpus same as in TEST1) and mem_eater allocated TotalMem-200M so kbuild had only 200MB left. Kbuild did better with the rework kernel here as well: User base: min: 860.28 max: 872.86 avg: 868.03 std: 5.54 runs: 3 rework: min: 880.81 [102.4%] max: 887.45 [101.7%] avg: 883.56 [101.8%] std: 2.83 runs: 3 System base: min: 84.35 max: 85.06 avg: 84.79 std: 0.31 runs: 3 rework: min: 85.62 [101.5%] max: 86.09 [101.2%] avg: 85.79 [101.2%] std: 0.21 runs: 3 Elapsed base: min: 135.36 max: 243.30 avg: 182.47 std: 45.12 runs: 3 rework: min: 110.46 [81.6%] max: 116.20 [47.8%] avg: 114.15 [62.6%] std: 2.61 runs: 3 Minor base: min: 36635476.00 max: 36673365.00 avg: 36654812.00 std: 15478.03 runs: 3 rework: min: 36639301.00 [100.0%] max: 36695541.00 [100.1%] avg: 36665511.00 [100.0%] std: 23118.23 runs: 3 Major base: min: 14708.00 max: 53328.00 avg: 31379.00 std: 16202.24 runs: 3 rework: min: 302.00 [2.1%] max: 414.00 [0.8%] avg: 366.33 [1.2%] std: 47.22 runs: 3 Again we can see a significant improvement in Elapsed (it also seems to be more stable), there is a huge dropdown for the Major page faults and much more swapping: base: max: 583736 K avg: 112547.43 K rework: max: 4012 K avg: 124.36 K Graphs from all three runs show the variability of the kbuild quite nicely. It even seems that it took longer after every run with the base kernel which would be quite surprising as the source tree for the build is removed and caches are dropped after each run so the build operates on a freshly extracted sources everytime. http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater.png My other testing shows that this is just a matter of timing and other runs behave differently the std for Elapsed time is similar ~50. Example of other three runs: http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater2.png So to wrap this up. The series is still doing good and improves the soft limit. The testing results for bunch of cgroups with both stream IO and kbuild loads can be found in "memcg: track children in soft limit excess to improve soft limit". This patch: Memcg soft reclaim has been traditionally triggered from the global reclaim paths before calling shrink_zone. mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim then picked up a group which exceeds the soft limit the most and reclaimed it with 0 priority to reclaim at least SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages. The infrastructure requires per-node-zone trees which hold over-limit groups and keep them up-to-date (via memcg_check_events) which is not cost free. Although this overhead hasn't turned out to be a bottle neck the implementation is suboptimal because mem_cgroup_update_tree has no idea which zones consumed memory over the limit so we could easily end up having a group on a node-zone tree having only few pages from that node-zone. This patch doesn't try to fix node-zone trees management because it seems that integrating soft reclaim into zone shrinking sounds much easier and more appropriate for several reasons. First of all 0 priority reclaim was a crude hack which might lead to big stalls if the group's LRUs are big and hard to reclaim (e.g. a lot of dirty/writeback pages). Soft reclaim should be applicable also to the targeted reclaim which is awkward right now without additional hacks. Last but not least the whole infrastructure eats quite some code. After this patch shrink_zone is done in 2 passes. First it tries to do the soft reclaim if appropriate (only for global reclaim for now to keep compatible with the original state) and fall back to ignoring soft limit if no group is eligible to soft reclaim or nothing has been scanned during the first pass. Only groups which are over their soft limit or any of their parents up the hierarchy is over the limit are considered eligible during the first pass. Soft limit tree which is not necessary anymore will be removed in the follow up patch to make this patch smaller and easier to review.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of them fix bugs introduced during this merge window. Specifics: 1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for non-existing devices. Although those notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead. Four commits to make that work properly. 2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same time. Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug. 3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information expected by the driver. Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable. 4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice). From Bob Moore. 5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more criteria into account in those cases. 6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening. 7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar. 8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies. Fix from Andreas Schwab. 9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it now and address the original problems later in a more robust way. 10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle. 11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to suspend. Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a couple of related issues. 12) cpufreq locking fix cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but it acquires it for writing.
