2015-11-07zsmalloc: fix obj_to_head use page_private(page) as value but not pointerHui Zhu
In obj_malloc(): if (!class->huge) /* record handle in the header of allocated chunk */ link->handle = handle; else /* record handle in first_page->private */ set_page_private(first_page, handle); In the hugepage we save handle to private directly. But in obj_to_head(): if (class->huge) { VM_BUG_ON(!is_first_page(page)); return *(unsigned long *)page_private(page); } else return *(unsigned long *)obj; It is used as a pointer. The reason why there is no problem until now is huge-class page is born with ZS_FULL so it can't be migrated. However, we need this patch for future work: "VM-aware zsmalloced page migration" to reduce external fragmentation.

2015-11-07zram: keep the exact overcommited value in mem_used_maxSergey SENOZHATSKY
`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed to store the data. However, it does not represent the actual 'overcommited' (max) value. The existing code goes to -ENOMEM overcommited case before it updates `->stats.max_used_pages', which hides the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more memory than `->limit_pages': alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta->mem_pool); if (zram->limit_pages && alloced_pages > zram->limit_pages) { zs_free(meta->mem_pool, handle); ret = -ENOMEM; goto out; } update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages); Which is misleading. User will see -ENOMEM, check `->limit_pages', check `->stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed `->limit_pages', and see: `->stats.max_used_pages' < `->limit_pages' Move update_used_max() before we do `->limit_pages' check, so that user will see: `->stats.max_used_pages' > `->limit_pages' should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.

2015-11-07zram: introduce comp algorithm fallback functionalityLuis Henriques
When the user supplies an unsupported compression algorithm, keep the previously selected one (knowingly supported) or the default one (if the compression algorithm hasn't been changed yet). Note that previously this operation (i.e. setting an invalid algorithm) would result in no algorithm being selected, which means that this represents a small change in the default behaviour. Minchan said: For initializing zram, we need to set up 3 optional parameters in advance. 1. the number of compression streams 2. memory limitation 3. compression algorithm Although user pass completely wrong value to set up for 1 and 2 parameters, it's okay because they have default value so zram will be initialized with the default value (of course, when user passes a wrong value via *echo*, sysfs returns -EINVAL so the user can notice it). But 3 is not consistent with other optional parameters. IOW, if the user passes a wrong value to set up 3 parameter, zram's initialization would fail unlike other optional parameters. So this patch makes them consistent.

2015-11-07fs/sync.c: make sync_file_range(2) use WB_SYNC_NONE writebackJan Kara
sync_file_range(2) is documented to issue writeback only for pages that are not currently being written. After all the system call has been created for userspace to be able to issue background writeout and so waiting for in-flight IO is undesirable there. However commit ee53a891f474 ("mm: do_sync_mapping_range integrity fix") switched do_sync_mapping_range() and thus sync_file_range() to issue writeback in WB_SYNC_ALL mode since do_sync_mapping_range() was used by other code relying on WB_SYNC_ALL semantics. These days do_sync_mapping_range() went away and we can switch sync_file_range(2) back to issuing WB_SYNC_NONE writeback. That should help PostgreSQL avoid large latency spikes when flushing data in the background. Andres measured a 20% increase in transactions per second on an SSD disk.

combinations Andrew stated the following We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags. I tend to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the interface. And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff? This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate some fixes and avoid future mistakes.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: only enforce watermarks for order-0 allocationsMel Gorman
The primary purpose of watermarks is to ensure that reclaim can always make forward progress in PF_MEMALLOC context (kswapd and direct reclaim). These assume that order-0 allocations are all that is necessary for forward progress. High-order watermarks serve a different purpose. Kswapd had no high-order awareness before they were introduced (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/413AA7B2.4000907@yahoo.com.au). This was particularly important when there were high-order atomic requests. The watermarks both gave kswapd awareness and made a reserve for those atomic requests. There are two important side-effects of this. The most important is that a non-atomic high-order request can fail even though free pages are available and the order-0 watermarks are ok. The second is that high-order watermark checks are expensive as the free list counts up to the requested order must be examined. With the introduction of MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC it is no longer necessary to have high-order watermarks. Kswapd and compaction still need high-order awareness which is handled by checking that at least one suitable high-order page is free. With the patch applied, there was little difference in the allocation failure rates as the atomic reserves are small relative to the number of allocation attempts. The expected impact is that there will never be an allocation failure report that shows suitable pages on the free lists. The one potential side-effect of this is that in a vanilla kernel, the watermark checks may have kept a free page for an atomic allocation. Now, we are 100% relying on the HighAtomic reserves and an early allocation to have allocated them. If the first high-order atomic allocation is after the system is already heavily fragmented then it'll fail.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: reserve pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demandMel Gorman
High-order watermark checking exists for two reasons -- kswapd high-order awareness and protection for high-order atomic requests. Historically the kernel depended on MIGRATE_RESERVE to preserve min_free_kbytes as high-order free pages for as long as possible. This patch introduces MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC that reserves pageblocks for high-order atomic allocations on demand and avoids using those blocks for order-0 allocations. This is more flexible and reliable than MIGRATE_RESERVE was. A MIGRATE_HIGHORDER pageblock is created when an atomic high-order allocation request steals a pageblock but limits the total number to 1% of the zone. Callers that speculatively abuse atomic allocations for long-lived high-order allocations to access the reserve will quickly fail. Note that SLUB is currently not such an abuser as it reclaims at least once. It is possible that the pageblock stolen has few suitable high-order pages and will need to steal again in the near future but there would need to be strong justification to search all pageblocks for an ideal candidate. The pageblocks are unreserved if an allocation fails after a direct reclaim attempt. The watermark checks account for the reserved pageblocks when the allocation request is not a high-order atomic allocation. The reserved pageblocks can not be used for order-0 allocations. This may allow temporary wastage until a failed reclaim reassigns the pageblock. This is deliberate as the intent of the reservation is to satisfy a limited number of atomic high-order short-lived requests if the system requires them. The stutter benchmark was used to evaluate this but while it was running there was a systemtap script that randomly allocated between 1 high-order page and 12.5% of memory's worth of order-3 pages using GFP_ATOMIC. This is much larger than the potential reserve and it does not attempt to be realistic. It is intended to stress random high-order allocations from an unknown source, show that there is a reduction in failures without introducing an anomaly where atomic allocations are more reliable than regular allocations. The amount of memory reserved varied throughout the workload as reserves were created and reclaimed under memory pressure. The allocation failures once the workload warmed up were as follows; 4.2-rc5-vanilla 70% 4.2-rc5-atomic-reserve 56% The failure rate was also measured while building multiple kernels. The failure rate was 14% but is 6% with this patch applied. Overall, this is a small reduction but the reserves are small relative to the number of allocation requests. In early versions of the patch, the failure rate reduced by a much larger amount but that required much larger reserves and perversely made atomic allocations seem more reliable than regular allocations.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: remove MIGRATE_RESERVEMel Gorman
MIGRATE_RESERVE preserves an old property of the buddy allocator that existed prior to fragmentation avoidance -- min_free_kbytes worth of pages tended to remain contiguous until the only alternative was to fail the allocation. At the time it was discovered that high-order atomic allocations relied on this property so MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced. A later patch will introduce an alternative MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC so this patch deletes MIGRATE_RESERVE and supporting code so it'll be easier to review. Note that this patch in isolation may look like a false regression if someone was bisecting high-order atomic allocation failures.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: delete the zonelist_cacheMel Gorman
The zonelist cache (zlc) was introduced to skip over zones that were recently known to be full. This avoided expensive operations such as the cpuset checks, watermark calculations and zone_reclaim. The situation today is different and the complexity of zlc is harder to justify. 1) The cpuset checks are no-ops unless a cpuset is active and in general are a lot cheaper. 2) zone_reclaim is now disabled by default and I suspect that was a large source of the cost that zlc wanted to avoid. When it is enabled, it's known to be a major source of stalling when nodes fill up and it's unwise to hit every other user with the overhead. 3) Watermark checks are expensive to calculate for high-order allocation requests. Later patches in this series will reduce the cost of the watermark checking. 4) The most important issue is that in the current implementation it is possible for a failed THP allocation to mark a zone full for order-0 allocations and cause a fallback to remote nodes. The last issue could be addressed with additional complexity but as the benefit of zlc is questionable, it is better to remove it. If stalls due to zone_reclaim are ever reported then an alternative would be to introduce deferring logic based on a timeout inside zone_reclaim itself and leave the page allocator fast paths alone. The impact on page-allocator microbenchmarks is negligible as they don't hit the paths where the zlc comes into play. Most page-reclaim related workloads showed no noticeable difference as a result of the removal. The impact was noticeable in a workload called "stutter". One part uses a lot of anonymous memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file. In an ideal world the latency application would not notice the mmap latency. On a 2-node machine the results of this patch are stutter 4.3.0-rc1 4.3.0-rc1 baseline nozlc-v4 Min mmap 20.9243 ( 0.00%) 20.7716 ( 0.73%) 1st-qrtle mmap 22.0612 ( 0.00%) 22.0680 ( -0.03%) 2nd-qrtle mmap 22.3291 ( 0.00%) 22.3809 ( -0.23%) 3rd-qrtle mmap 25.2244 ( 0.00%) 25.2396 ( -0.06%) Max-90% mmap 48.0995 ( 0.00%) 28.3713 ( 41.02%) Max-93% mmap 52.5557 ( 0.00%) 36.0170 ( 31.47%) Max-95% mmap 55.8173 ( 0.00%) 47.3163 ( 15.23%) Max-99% mmap 67.3781 ( 0.00%) 70.1140 ( -4.06%) Max mmap 24447.6375 ( 0.00%) 12915.1356 ( 47.17%) Mean mmap 33.7883 ( 0.00%) 27.7944 ( 17.74%) Best99%Mean mmap 27.7825 ( 0.00%) 25.2767 ( 9.02%) Best95%Mean mmap 26.3912 ( 0.00%) 23.7994 ( 9.82%) Best90%Mean mmap 24.9886 ( 0.00%) 23.2251 ( 7.06%) Best50%Mean mmap 22.0157 ( 0.00%) 22.0261 ( -0.05%) Best10%Mean mmap 21.6705 ( 0.00%) 21.6083 ( 0.29%) Best5%Mean mmap 21.5581 ( 0.00%) 21.4611 ( 0.45%) Best1%Mean mmap 21.3079 ( 0.00%) 21.1631 ( 0.68%) Note that the maximum stall latency went from 24 seconds to 12 which is still bad but an improvement. The milage varies considerably 2-node machine on an earlier test went from 494 seconds to 47 seconds and a 4-node machine that tested an earlier version of this patch went from a worst case stall time of 6 seconds to 67ms. The nature of the benchmark is inherently unpredictable as it is hammering the system and the milage will vary between machines. There is a secondary impact with potentially more direct reclaim because zones are now being considered instead of being skipped by zlc. In this particular test run it did not occur so will not be described. However, in at least one test the following was observed 1. Direct reclaim rates were higher. This was likely due to direct reclaim being entered instead of the zlc disabling a zone and busy looping. Busy looping may have the effect of allowing kswapd to make more progress and in some cases may be better overall. If this is found then the correct action is to put direct reclaimers to sleep on a waitqueue and allow kswapd make forward progress. Busy looping on the zlc is even worse than when the allocator used to blindly call congestion_wait(). 2. There was higher swap activity as direct reclaim was active. 3. Direct reclaim efficiency was lower. This is related to 1 as more scanning activity also encountered more pages that could not be immediately reclaimed In that case, the direct page scan and reclaim rates are noticeable but it is not considered a problem for a few reasons 1. The test is primarily concerned with latency. The mmap attempts are also faulted which means there are THP allocation requests. The ZLC could cause zones to be disabled causing the process to busy loop instead of reclaiming. This looks like elevated direct reclaim activity but it's the correct action to take based on what processes requested. 2. The test hammers reclaim and compaction heavily. The number of successful THP faults is highly variable but affects the reclaim stats. It's not a realistic or reasonable measure of page reclaim activity. 3. No other page-reclaim intensive workload that was tested showed a problem. 4. If a workload is identified that benefitted from the busy looping then it should be fixed by having direct reclaimers sleep on a wait queue until woken by kswapd instead of busy looping. We had this class of problem before when congestion_waits() with a fixed timeout was a brain damaged decision but happened to benefit some workloads. If a workload is identified that relied on the zlc to busy loop then it should be fixed correctly and have a direct reclaimer sleep on a waitqueue until woken by kswapd.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: use masks and shifts when converting GFP flags to migrate typesMel Gorman
This patch redefines which GFP bits are used for specifying mobility and the order of the migrate types. Once redefined it's possible to convert GFP flags to a migrate type with a simple mask and shift. The only downside is that readers of OOM kill messages and allocation failures may have been used to the existing values but scripts/gfp-translate will help.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary recalculations for dirty zone balancingMel Gorman
File-backed pages that will be immediately written are balanced between zones.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary parameter from zone_watermark_ok_safeMel Gorman
Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator. Once this is done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks. The series starts with minor micro-optimisations. Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused. __GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could access reserves. This was later abused to identify callers that simply prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options. A patch distinguishes between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish to avoid sleep. The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained. The most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to be treated as "full". This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim activity or remote fallbacks. The issues could be fixed but it's not worth it. The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations on top before examining GFP flags watermarks. High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail even though pages are free. The watermark checks both protect high-order atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is a much better way that can be handled using migrate types. This series uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand. kswapd awareness is maintained by examining the free lists. By patch 12 in this series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks. This patch (of 10): No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags. This patch removes the unnecessary parameter.

2015-11-06mtd: don't WARN about overloaded users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_callBrian Norris
There are multiple types of users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_call: (1) A while back, the cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} chip drivers implemented a reboot notifier to (on a best effort basis) attempt to reset their flash chips before rebooting. (2) More recently, we implemented a common _reboot() hook so that MTD drivers (particularly, NAND flash) could better halt I/O operations without having to reimplement the same notifier boilerplate. Currently, the WARN_ONCE() condition here was written to handle (2), but at the same time it mis-diagnosed case (1) as an already-registered MTD. Let's fix this by having the WARN_ONCE() condition better imitate the condition that immediately follows it. (Wow, I don't know how I missed that one.) (Side note: Unfortunately, we can't yet combine the reboot notifier code for (1) and (2) with a patch like [1], because some users of (1) also use mtdconcat, and so the mtd_info struct from cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} won't actually get registered with mtdcore, and therefore their reboot notifier won't get registered.)

That will get sorted out, but in the meantime let's not make the scary complaint about them be on by default. The code is useful for developers, but not ready for end user testing yet.

2015-11-06bcache: Really show state of work pending bitPetr Mladek
WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is a mask for testing the pending bit. test_bit() expects the number of the bit and we need to use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT there. Also work_data_bits() is defined in workqueues.h now. I have noticed this just by chance when looking how WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT is used. The change is compile tested.
