Patch series "Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Implement huge VMAP and VMALLOC on powerpc 8xx", v2.
This series implements huge VMAP and VMALLOC on powerpc 8xx.
Powerpc 8xx has 4 page sizes:
- 4k
- 16k
- 512k
- 8M
At the time being, vmalloc and vmap only support huge pages which are
leaf at PMD level.
Here the PMD level is 4M, it doesn't correspond to any supported
page size.
For now, implement use of 16k and 512k pages which is done
at PTE level.
Support of 8M pages will be implemented later, it requires use of
hugepd tables.
To allow this, the architecture provides two functions:
- arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size() which tells vmap_pte_range() what
page size to use. A stub returning PAGE_SIZE is provided when the
architecture doesn't provide this function.
- arch_vmap_pte_supported_shift() which tells __vmalloc_node_range()
what page shift to use for a given area size. A stub returning
PAGE_SHIFT is provided when the architecture doesn't provide this
function.
This patch (of 5):
At the time being, arch_make_huge_pte() has the following prototype:
pte_t arch_make_huge_pte(pte_t entry, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
struct page *page, int writable);
vma is used to get the pages shift or size.
vma is also used on Sparc to get vm_flags.
page is not used.
writable is not used.
In order to use this function without a vma, replace vma by shift and
flags. Also remove the used parameters.

If other processes are mapping any other subpages of the hugepage, i.e.
in pte-mapped thp case, page_mapcount() will return 1 incorrectly. Then
we would discard the page while other processes are still mapping it. Fix
it by using total_mapcount() which can tell whether other processes are
still mapping it.

Commit aa88b68c3b1d ("thp: keep huge zero page pinned until tlb flush")
introduced tlb_remove_page() for huge zero page to keep it pinned until
flush is complete and prevents the page from being split under us. But
huge zero page is kept pinned until all relevant mm_users reach zero since
the commit 6fcb52a56ff6 ("thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic
counter"). So tlb_remove_page_size() for huge zero pmd is unnecessary
now.

transparent_hugepage_enabled()
Since commit 99cb0dbd47a1 ("mm,thp: add read-only THP support for
(non-shmem) FS"), read-only THP file mapping is supported. But it forgot
to add checking for it in transparent_hugepage_enabled(). To fix it, we
add checking for read-only THP file mapping and also introduce helper
transhuge_vma_enabled() to check whether thp is enabled for specified vma
to reduce duplicated code. We rename transparent_hugepage_enabled to
transparent_hugepage_active to make the code easier to follow as suggested
by David Hildenbrand.

Patch series "Cleanup and fixup for huge_memory:, v3.
This series contains cleanups to remove dedicated macro and remove
unnecessary tlb_remove_page_size() for huge zero pmd. Also this adds
missing read-only THP checking for transparent_hugepage_enabled() and
avoids discarding hugepage if other processes are mapping it. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.
Thi patch (of 5):
Rewrite the pgoff checking logic to remove macro HPAGE_CACHE_INDEX_MASK
which is only used here to simplify the code.

Remove redundant pfn_{pmd/pte}() in {pmd/pte}_advanced_tests() and adjust
pfn_pud() in pud_advanced_tests() to make it similar with other two
functions.
In addition, the branch condition should be CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
instead of CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP.

All the infrastructure is ready, so we introduce nr_free_vmemmap_pages
field in the hstate to indicate how many vmemmap pages associated with a
HugeTLB page that can be freed to buddy allocator. And initialize it in
the hugetlb_vmemmap_init(). This patch is actual enablement of the
feature.
There are only (RESERVE_VMEMMAP_SIZE / sizeof(struct page)) struct page
structs that can be used when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, so add a
BUILD_BUG_ON to catch invalid usage of the tail struct page.

Add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap to enable the feature of
freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page on boot.
We disable PMD mapping of vmemmap pages for x86-64 arch when this feature
is enabled. Because vmemmap_remap_free() depends on vmemmap being base
page mapped.

When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate
the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to
allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In
this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior
in some corner cases as listed below:
1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages).
User needs to try again later.
2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application.
Try again later when freeing a huge page next time.
3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via
offline_pages().
This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but
not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even
be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to
dissolve the source huge page. This will prevent an offline
operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to
succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug
to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the
memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of
possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations.
4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via
alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly
affects CMA and virtio-mem.
Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully.
CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA
region.
Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for
those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer)
__GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because
a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too
easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory
reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under
heavy hugetlb freeing.

In the subsequent patch, we should allocate the vmemmap pages when freeing
a HugeTLB page. But update_and_free_page() can be called under any
context, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL to allocate vmemmap pages. However,
we can defer the actual freeing in a kworker to prevent from using
GFP_ATOMIC to allocate the vmemmap pages.
The __update_and_free_page() is where the call to allocate vmemmmap pages
will be inserted.

Every HugeTLB has more than one struct page structure. We __know__ that
we only use the first 4 (__NR_USED_SUBPAGE) struct page structures to
store metadata associated with each HugeTLB.
There are a lot of struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB
page. For tail pages, the value of compound_head is the same. So we can
reuse first page of tail page structures. We map the virtual addresses of
the remaining pages of tail page structures to the first tail page struct,
and then free these page frames. Therefore, we need to reserve two pages
as vmemmap areas.
When we allocate a HugeTLB page from the buddy, we can free some vmemmap
pages associated with each HugeTLB page. It is more appropriate to do it
in the prep_new_huge_page().
The free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage(), which indicates how many vmemmap pages
associated with a HugeTLB page can be freed, returns zero for now, which
means the feature is disabled. We will enable it once all the
infrastructure is there.

For HugeTLB page, there are more metadata to save in the struct page. But
the head struct page cannot meet our needs, so we have to abuse other tail
struct page to store the metadata. In order to avoid conflicts caused by
subsequent use of more tail struct pages, we can gather these discrete
indexes of tail struct page. In this case, it will be easier to add a new
tail page index later.

The option HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP allows for the freeing of some
vmemmap pages associated with pre-allocated HugeTLB pages. For example,
on X86_64 6 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each 2MB
HugeTLB page. 4094 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each
1GB HugeTLB page.
When a HugeTLB page is allocated or freed, the vmemmap array representing
the range associated with the page will need to be remapped. When a page
is allocated, vmemmap pages are freed after remapping. When a page is
freed, previously discarded vmemmap pages must be allocated before
remapping.
The config option is introduced early so that supporting code can be
written to depend on the option. The initial version of the code only
provides support for x86-64.
If config HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE is enabled, the freeing vmemmap page code
denpend on it to free vmemmap pages. Otherwise, just use
free_reserved_page() to free vmemmmap pages. The routine
register_page_bootmem_info() is used to register bootmem info. Therefore,
make sure register_page_bootmem_info is enabled if
HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP is defined.

Patch series "Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page", v23.
This patch series will free some vmemmap pages(struct page structures)
associated with each HugeTLB page when preallocated to save memory.
In order to reduce the difficulty of the first version of code review. In
this version, we disable PMD/huge page mapping of vmemmap if this feature
was enabled. This acutely eliminates a bunch of the complex code doing
page table manipulation. When this patch series is solid, we cam add the
code of vmemmap page table manipulation in the future.
The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
page frame. By default, there is an one-to-one mapping from a page frame
to it's corresponding page struct.
The HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is
supported by many architectures. See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation
directory for more details. On the x86 architecture, HugeTLB pages of
size 2MB and 1GB are currently supported. Since the base page size on x86
is 4KB, a 2MB HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB
page consists of 4096 base pages. For each base page, there is a
corresponding page struct.
Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
contain unique information about a HugeTLB page. HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
provides this upper limit. The only 'useful' information in the remaining
page structs is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for
all tail pages.
By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can returned
to the buddy allocator for other uses.
When the system boot up, every 2M HugeTLB has 512 struct page structs which
size is 8 pages(sizeof(struct page) * 512 / PAGE_SIZE).
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+

+-----------+
The value of page->compound_head is the same for all tail pages. The
first page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page
contains the 4 page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB. The only
use of the remaining pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point
to page->compound_head. Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1.
Only 2 pages of page structs will be used for each HugeTLB page. This
will allow us to free the remaining 6 pages to the buddy allocator.
Here is how things look after remapping.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+

+-----------+
When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages
for vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship.
Apart from 2MB HugeTLB page, we also have 1GB HugeTLB page. It is similar
to the 2MB HugeTLB page. We also can use this approach to free the
vmemmap pages.
In this case, for the 1GB HugeTLB page, we can save 4094 pages. This is a
very substantial gain. On our server, run some SPDK/QEMU applications
which will use 1024GB HugeTLB page. With this feature enabled, we can
save ~16GB (1G hugepage)/~12GB (2MB hugepage) memory.
Because there are vmemmap page tables reconstruction on the
freeing/allocating path, it increases some overhead. Here are some
overhead analysis.
1) Allocating 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages.
a) With this patch series applied:
# time echo 10240 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
real 0m0.166s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.166s
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; }
kretprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs -
@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
Attaching 2 probes...
@latency:
[8K, 16K) 5476 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
[16K, 32K) 4760 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ |
[32K, 64K) 4 | |
b) Without this patch series:
# time echo 10240 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
real 0m0.067s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.067s
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; }
kretprobe:alloc_fresh_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs -
@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
Attaching 2 probes...
@latency:
[4K, 8K) 10147 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
[8K, 16K) 93 | |
Summarize: this feature is about ~2x slower than before.
2) Freeing 10240 2MB HugeTLB pages.
a) With this patch series applied:
# time echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
real 0m0.213s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.213s
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:free_pool_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; }
kretprobe:free_pool_huge_page /@start[tid]/ { @latency = hist(nsecs -
@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'
Attaching 2 probes...
@latency:
[8K, 16K) 6 | |
[16K, 32K) 10227 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
[32K, 64K) 7 | |
b) Without this patch series:

sys 0m0.081s
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:free_pool_huge_page { @start[tid] = nsecs; }

[8K, 16K) 3427 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ |
[16K, 32K) 8 | |
Summary: The overhead of __free_hugepage is about ~2-3x slower than before.
Although the overhead has increased, the overhead is not significant.
Like Mike said, "However, remember that the majority of use cases create
HugeTLB pages at or shortly after boot time and add them to the pool. So,
additional overhead is at pool creation time. There is no change to
'normal run time' operations of getting a page from or returning a page to
the pool (think page fault/unmap)".
Despite the overhead and in addition to the memory gains from this series.
The following data is obtained by Joao Martins. Very thanks to his
effort.
There's an additional benefit which is page (un)pinners will see an improvement
and Joao presumes because there are fewer memmap pages and thus the tail/head
pages are staying in cache more often.
Out of the box Joao saw (when comparing linux-next against linux-next +
this series) with gup_test and pinning a 16G HugeTLB file (with 1G pages):
get_user_pages(): ~32k -> ~9k
unpin_user_pages(): ~75k -> ~70k
Usually any tight loop fetching compound_head(), or reading tail pages
data (e.g. compound_head) benefit a lot. There's some unpinning
inefficiencies Joao was fixing[2], but with that in added it shows even
more:
unpin_user_pages(): ~27k -> ~3.8k

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210204202500.26474-1-joao.m.martins@oracle.com/
This patch (of 9):
Move bootmem info registration common API to individual bootmem_info.c.
And we will use {get,put}_page_bootmem() to initialize the page for the
vmemmap pages or free the vmemmap pages to buddy in the later patch. So
move them out of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE. This is just code movement
without any functional change.

__get_hwpoison_page() could fail to grab refcount by some race condition,
so it's helpful if we can handle it by retrying. We already have retry
logic, so make get_hwpoison_page() call get_any_page() when called from
memory_failure().
As a result, get_hwpoison_page() can return negative values (i.e. error
code), so some callers are also changed to handle error cases.
soft_offline_page() does nothing for -EBUSY because that's enough and
users in userspace can easily handle it. unpoison_memory() is also
unchanged because it's broken and need thorough fixes (will be done
later).

Now an action required MCE in already hwpoisoned address surely sends a
SIGBUS to current process, but the SIGBUS doesn't convey error virtual
address. That's not optimal for hwpoison-aware applications.
To fix the issue, make memory_failure() call kill_accessing_process(),
that does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address. It could find
multiple virtual addresses for the same error page, and it seems hard to
tell which virtual address is correct one. But that's rare and sending
incorrect virtual address could be better than no address. So let's
report the first found virtual address for now.

Dave Hansen reported the following about Feng Tang's tests on a machine
with persistent memory onlined as a DRAM-like device.
Feng Tang tossed these on a "Cascade Lake" system with 96 threads and
~512G of persistent memory and 128G of DRAM. The PMEM is in "volatile
use" mode and being managed via the buddy just like the normal RAM.
The PMEM zones are big ones:
present 65011712 = 248 G
high 134595 = 525 M
The PMEM nodes, of course, don't have any CPUs in them.
With your series, the pcp->high value per-cpu is 69584 pages or about
270MB per CPU. Scaled up by the 96 CPU threads, that's ~26GB of
worst-case memory in the pcps per zone, or roughly 10% of the size of
the zone.
This should not cause a problem as such although it could trigger reclaim
due to pages being stored on per-cpu lists for CPUs remote to a node. It
is not possible to treat cpuless nodes exactly the same as normal nodes
but the worst-case scenario can be mitigated by splitting pcp->high across
all online CPUs for cpuless memory nodes.

The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means
that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on
the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and
"cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in
size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64.
Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of
how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be
exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of
THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists.
Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single
CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload.
That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf
UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network
allocations are high-order.

Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of
high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk
allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would
have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the
order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

Patch series "Remove DISCONTIGMEM memory model", v3.
SPARSEMEM memory model was supposed to entirely replace DISCONTIGMEM a
(long) while ago. The last architectures that used DISCONTIGMEM were
updated to use other memory models in v5.11 and it is about the time to
entirely remove DISCONTIGMEM from the kernel.
This set removes DISCONTIGMEM from alpha, arc and m68k, simplifies memory
model selection in mm/Kconfig and replaces usage of redundant
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP with CONFIG_NUMA
and CONFIG_FLATMEM respectively.
I've also removed NUMA support on alpha that was BROKEN for more than 15
years.
There were also minor updates all over arch/ to remove mentions of
DISCONTIGMEM in comments and #ifdefs.
This patch (of 9):
NUMA is marked broken on alpha for more than 15 years and DISCONTIGMEM was
replaced with SPARSEMEM in v5.11.
Remove both NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM support from alpha.

Patch series "Allow high order pages to be stored on PCP", v2.
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only handles order-0 pages. With the
series "Use local_lock for pcp protection and reduce stat overhead" and
"Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", it's now
feasible to store high-order pages on PCP lists.
This small series allows PCP to store "cheap" orders where cheap is
determined by PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and THP-sized allocations.
This patch (of 2):
In the next page, free_compount_page is going to use the common helper
free_the_page. This patch moves the definition to ease review. No
functional change.

But when zone is not empty and sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio[i] is set to

Actually SECTIONS_SHIFT is used in the kernel code, so the code comments
is strictly incorrect. And since commit bbeae5b05ef6 ("mm: move page
flags layout to separate header"), SECTIONS_SHIFT definition has been
moved to include/linux/page-flags-layout.h, since code itself looks quite
straighforward, instead of moving the code comment into the new place as
well, we just simply remove it.
This also fixed a checkpatch complain derived from the original code:

This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction. It is
similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased
both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially
reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also
potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This
sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially
reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same.

When a task is freeing a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire the
zone->lock multiple times freeing pages in batches. This may
unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when freeing very large number of
pages. This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent
pattern to scale the batch size for subsequent frees.
As the machines I used were not large enough to test this are not large
enough to illustrate a problem, a debugging patch shows patterns like the
following (slightly editted for clarity)

The PCP high watermark is based on the number of online CPUs so the
watermarks must be adjusted during CPU hotplug. At the time of
hot-remove, the number of online CPUs is already adjusted but during
hot-add, a delta needs to be applied to update PCP to the correct value.
After this patch is applied, the high watermarks are adjusted correctly.

The pcp high watermark is based on the batch size but there is no
relationship between them other than it is convenient to use early in
boot.
This patch takes the first step and bases pcp->high on the zone low
watermark split across the number of CPUs local to a zone while the batch
size remains the same to avoid increasing allocation latencies. The
intent behind the default pcp->high is "set the number of PCP pages such
that if they are all full that background reclaim is not started
prematurely".
Note that in this patch the pcp->high values are adjusted after memory
hotplug events, min_free_kbytes adjustments and watermark scale factor
adjustments but not CPU hotplug events which is handled later in the
series.
On a test KVM instance;
Before grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
high: 378
batch: 63
After grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
high: 649
batch: 63

Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2.
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone
lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the
zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger
zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse.
Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch
and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but
also increase allocation latencies.
This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales
pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to
reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It
also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on
recent freeing patterns.
The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also
driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages()
often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a
bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can
takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use
vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing
indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because
of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce
this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but
it should alleviate the problem.
The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite.
pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high
orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the
pcp->high values need to be increased first.
This patch (of 6):
The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high
limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl
is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it
has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase
latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes.
This leads to games where an administrator adjusts
percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and
allocation latency problems.
This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while
avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of
review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar
sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.

alloc_contig_dump_pages() aims for helping debugging page migration
failure by elevated page refcount compared to expected_count. (for the
detail, please look at migrate_page_move_mapping)
However, -ENOMEM is just the case that system is under memory pressure
state, not relevant with page refcount at all. Thus, the dumping page
list is not helpful for the debugging point of view.

Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had
IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This
confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what
zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular.
This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page()
instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs.
free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected
by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages
to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to
the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that
free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be
correct.
Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is
running but that is not a common operation.

__free_pages_ok() disables IRQs before calling a common helper
free_one_page() that acquires the zone lock. This is not safe according
to Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst and in this context, IRQ disabling
is not protecting a per_cpu_pages structure either or a local_lock would
be used.
This patch explicitly acquires the lock with spin_lock_irqsave instead of
relying on a helper. This removes the last instance of local_irq_save()
in page_alloc.c.

IRQs are left disabled for the zone and node VM event counters. This is
unnecessary as the affected counters are allowed to race for preemmption
and IRQs.
This patch reduces the scope of IRQs being disabled via
local_[lock|unlock]_irq on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. One
__mod_zone_freepage_state is still called with IRQs disabled. While this
could be moved out, it's not free on all architectures as some require
IRQs to be disabled for mod_zone_page_state on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.

NUMA statistics are maintained on the zone level for hits, misses, foreign
etc but nothing relies on them being perfectly accurate for functional
correctness. The counters are used by userspace to get a general overview
of a workloads NUMA behaviour but the page allocator incurs a high cost to
maintain perfect accuracy similar to what is required for a vmstat like
NR_FREE_PAGES. There even is a sysctl vm.numa_stat to allow userspace to
turn off the collection of NUMA statistics like NUMA_HIT.
This patch converts NUMA_HIT and friends to be NUMA events with similar
accuracy to VM events. There is a possibility that slight errors will be
introduced but the overall trend as seen by userspace will be similar.
The counters are no longer updated from vmstat_refresh context as it is
unnecessary overhead for counters that may never be read by userspace.
Note that counters could be maintained at the node level to save space but
it would have a user-visible impact due to /proc/zoneinfo.

There is a lack of clarity of what exactly
local_irq_save/local_irq_restore protects in page_alloc.c . It conflates
the protection of per-cpu page allocation structures with per-cpu vmstat
deltas.
This patch protects the PCP structure using local_lock which for most
configurations is identical to IRQ enabling/disabling. The scope of the
lock is still wider than it should be but this is decreased later.
It is possible for the local_lock to be embedded safely within struct
per_cpu_pages but it adds complexity to free_unref_page_list.

The PCP (per-cpu page allocator in page_alloc.c) shares locking
requirements with vmstat and the zone lock which is inconvenient and
causes some issues. For example, the PCP list and vmstat share the same
per-cpu space meaning that it's possible that vmstat updates dirty cache
lines holding per-cpu lists across CPUs unless padding is used. Second,
PREEMPT_RT does not want to disable IRQs for too long in the page
allocator.
This series splits the locking requirements and uses locks types more
suitable for PREEMPT_RT, reduces the time when special locking is required
for stats and reduces the time when IRQs need to be disabled on
!PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Why local_lock? PREEMPT_RT considers the following sequence to be unsafe
as documented in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst
local_irq_disable();
spin_lock(&lock);
The pcp allocator has this sequence for rmqueue_pcplist (local_irq_save)
-> __rmqueue_pcplist -> rmqueue_bulk (spin_lock). While it's possible to
separate this out, it generally means there are points where we enable
IRQs and reenable them again immediately. To prevent a migration and the
per-cpu pointer going stale, migrate_disable is also needed. That is a
custom lock that is similar, but worse, than local_lock. Furthermore, on
PREEMPT_RT, it's undesirable to leave IRQs disabled for too long. By
converting to local_lock which disables migration on PREEMPT_RT, the
locking requirements can be separated and start moving the protections for
PCP, stats and the zone lock to PREEMPT_RT-safe equivalent locking. As a
bonus, local_lock also means that PROVE_LOCKING does something useful.
After that, it's obvious that zone_statistics incurs too much overhead and
leaves IRQs disabled for longer than necessary on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.
zone_statistics uses perfectly accurate counters requiring IRQs be
disabled for parallel RMW sequences when inaccurate ones like vm_events
would do. The series makes the NUMA statistics (NUMA_HIT and friends)
inaccurate counters that then require no special protection on
!PREEMPT_RT.
The bulk page allocator can then do stat updates in bulk with IRQs enabled
which should improve the efficiency. Technically, this could have been
done without the local_lock and vmstat conversion work and the order
simply reflects the timing of when different series were implemented.
Finally, there are places where we conflate IRQs being disabled for the
PCP with the IRQ-safe zone spinlock. The remainder of the series reduces
the scope of what is protected by disabled IRQs on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.
By the end of the series, page_alloc.c does not call local_irq_save so the
locking scope is a bit clearer. The one exception is that modifying
NR_FREE_PAGES still happens in places where it's known the IRQs are
disabled as it's harmless for PREEMPT_RT and would be expensive to split
the locking there.
No performance data is included because despite the overhead of the stats,
it's within the noise for most workloads on !PREEMPT_RT. However, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer ran a page allocation microbenchmark on a E5-1650 v4 @
3.60GHz CPU on the first version of this series. Focusing on the array
variant of the bulk page allocator reveals the following.
(CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz)
ARRAY variant: time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array: step=bulk size
Baseline Patched
1 56.383 54.225 (+3.83%)
2 40.047 35.492 (+11.38%)
3 37.339 32.643 (+12.58%)
4 35.578 30.992 (+12.89%)
8 33.592 29.606 (+11.87%)
16 32.362 28.532 (+11.85%)
32 31.476 27.728 (+11.91%)
64 30.633 27.252 (+11.04%)
128 30.596 27.090 (+11.46%)
While this is a positive outcome, the series is more likely to be
interesting to the RT people in terms of getting parts of the PREEMPT_RT
tree into mainline.
This patch (of 9):
The per-cpu page allocator lists and the per-cpu vmstat deltas are stored
in the same struct per_cpu_pages even though vmstats have no direct impact
on the per-cpu page lists. This is inconsistent because the vmstats for a
node are stored on a dedicated structure. The bigger issue is that the
per_cpu_pages structure is not cache-aligned and stat updates either cache
conflict with adjacent per-cpu lists incurring a runtime cost or padding
is required incurring a memory cost.
This patch splits the per-cpu pagelists and the vmstat deltas into
separate structures. It's mostly a mechanical conversion but some
variable renaming is done to clearly distinguish the per-cpu pages
structure (pcp) from the vmstats (pzstats).
Superficially, this appears to increase the size of the per_cpu_pages
structure but the movement of expire fills a structure hole so there is no
impact overall.
