mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

mm: remove lru_add_drain_all() from the munlock path lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task have mmap_sem. Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list. So removing is better. In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing is better. Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real trouble.

* We lost the race. the page already moved to evictable list.
mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member].

mm: remove lru_add_drain_all() from the munlock path lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task have mmap_sem. Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list. So removing is better. In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing is better. Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real trouble.

void munlock_vma_page(struct page *page)
mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap().

mm: mlocking in try_to_unmap_one There's contorted mlock/munlock handling in try_to_unmap_anon() and try_to_unmap_file(), which we'd prefer not to repeat for KSM swapping. Simplify it by moving it all down into try_to_unmap_one(). One thing is then lost, try_to_munlock()'s distinction between when no vma holds the page mlocked, and when a vma does mlock it, but we could not get mmap_sem to set the page flag. But its only caller takes no interest in that distinction (and is better testing SWAP_MLOCK anyway), so let's keep the code simple and return SWAP_AGAIN for both cases. try_to_unmap_file()'s TTU_MUNLOCK nonlinear handling was particularly amusing: once unravelled, it turns out to have been choosing between two different ways of doing the same nothing. Ah, no, one way was actually returning SWAP_FAIL when it meant to return SWAP_SUCCESS.

mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions We need to hold the mmap_sem for write to initiatate mlock()/munlock() because we may need to merge/split vmas. However, this can lead to very long lock hold times attempting to fault in a large memory region to mlock it into memory. This can hold off other faults against the mm [multithreaded tasks] and other scans of the mm, such as via /proc. To alleviate this, downgrade the mmap_sem to read mode during the population of the region for locking. This is especially the case if we need to reclaim memory to lock down the region. We [probably?] don't need to do this for unlocking as all of the pages should be resident--they're already mlocked. Now, the caller's of the mlock functions [mlock_fixup() and mlock_vma_pages_range()] expect the mmap_sem to be returned in write mode. Changing all callers appears to be way too much effort at this point. So, restore write mode before returning. Note that this opens a window where the mmap list could change in a multithreaded process. So, at least for mlock_fixup(), where we could be called in a loop over multiple vmas, we check that a vma still exists at the start address and that vma still covers the page range [start,end). If not, we return an error, -EAGAIN, and let the caller deal with it. Return -EAGAIN from mlock_vma_pages_range() function and mlock_fixup() if the vma at 'start' disappears or changes so that the page range [start,end) is no longer contained in the vma. Again, let the caller deal with it. Looks like only sys_remap_file_pages() [via mmap_region()] should actually care. With this patch, I no longer see processes like ps(1) blocked for seconds or minutes at a time waiting for a large [multiple gigabyte] region to be locked down. However, I occassionally see delays while unlocking or unmapping a large mlocked region. Should we also downgrade the mmap_sem for the unlock path?

This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did.

This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count.

This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did.

This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags.

mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap().

This patch: Before this change, mlock() holds mmap_sem in exclusive mode while the pages get faulted in. In the case of a large mlock, this can potentially take a very long time. Various things will block while mmap_sem is held, including 'ps auxw'. This can make sysadmins angry. I propose that mlock() could release mmap_sem after the VM_LOCKED bits have been set in all appropriate VMAs. Then a second pass could be done to actually mlock the pages with mmap_sem held for reads only. We need to recheck the vma flags after we re-acquire mmap_sem, but this is easy. In the case where a vma has been munlocked before mlock completes, pages that were already marked as PageMlocked() are handled by the munlock() call, and mlock() is careful to not mark new page batches as PageMlocked() after the munlock() call has cleared the VM_LOCKED vma flags. So, the end result will be identical to what'd happen if munlock() had executed after the mlock() call. In a later change, I will allow the second pass to release mmap_sem when blocking on disk accesses or when it is otherwise contended, so that it won't be held for long periods of time even in shared mode.

if (lock)
mm: munlock use follow_page Hiroaki Wakabayashi points out that when mlock() has been interrupted by SIGKILL, the subsequent munlock() takes unnecessarily long because its use of __get_user_pages() insists on faulting in all the pages which mlock() never reached. It's worse than slowness if mlock() is terminated by Out Of Memory kill: the munlock_vma_pages_all() in exit_mmap() insists on faulting in all the pages which mlock() could not find memory for; so innocent bystanders are killed too, and perhaps the system hangs. __get_user_pages() does a lot that's silly for munlock(): so remove the munlock option from __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and use a simple loop of follow_page()s in munlock_vma_pages_range() instead; ignoring absent pages, and not marking present pages as accessed or dirty. (Change munlock() to only go so far as mlock() reached? That does not work out, given the convention that mlock() claims complete success even when it has to give up early - in part so that an underlying file can be extended later, and those pages locked which earlier would give SIGBUS.)

In the case where a vma has been munlocked before mlock completes, pages that were already marked as PageMlocked() are handled by the munlock() call, and mlock() is careful to not mark new page batches as PageMlocked() after the munlock() call has cleared the VM_LOCKED vma flags. So, the end result will be identical to what'd happen if munlock() had executed after the mlock() call. In a later change, I will allow the second pass to release mmap_sem when blocking on disk accesses or when it is otherwise contended, so that it won't be held for long periods of time even in shared mode.

mm: munlock use follow_page Hiroaki Wakabayashi points out that when mlock() has been interrupted by SIGKILL, the subsequent munlock() takes unnecessarily long because its use of __get_user_pages() insists on faulting in all the pages which mlock() never reached. It's worse than slowness if mlock() is terminated by Out Of Memory kill: the munlock_vma_pages_all() in exit_mmap() insists on faulting in all the pages which mlock() could not find memory for; so innocent bystanders are killed too, and perhaps the system hangs. __get_user_pages() does a lot that's silly for munlock(): so remove the munlock option from __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and use a simple loop of follow_page()s in munlock_vma_pages_range() instead; ignoring absent pages, and not marking present pages as accessed or dirty. (Change munlock() to only go so far as mlock() reached? That does not work out, given the convention that mlock() claims complete success even when it has to give up early - in part so that an underlying file can be extended later, and those pages locked which earlier would give SIGBUS.)

out:
mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable Make sure that mlocked pages also live on the unevictable LRU, so kswapd will not scan them over and over again. This is achieved through various strategies: 1) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and, optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of unevictable pages, preventing them from getting to page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch did. Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_unevictable flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new count field. 2) add the mlock/unevictable infrastructure to mm/mlock.c, with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into account that mlocked pages are now kept on unevictable LRU list. 3) update vmscan.c:page_evictable() to check PageMlocked() and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path; and then only if the "cull unevictable pages in fault path" patch is included. 4) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked. Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

mm: remove lru_add_drain_all() from the munlock path lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test machine. Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task have mmap_sem. Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages stay on reclaimable lru list. but currenct unevictable code can rescue unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list. So removing is better. In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and sys_mlockall(). it isn't must. but it reduce the failure of moving to unevictable list. its failure can rescue in vmscan later. but reducing is better. Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo. but it doesn't cause any real trouble.

mlock: only hold mmap_sem in shared mode when faulting in pages Currently mlock() holds mmap_sem in exclusive mode while the pages get faulted in. In the case of a large mlock, this can potentially take a very long time, during which various commands such as 'ps auxw' will block. This makes sysadmins unhappy: real 14m36.232s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.015s (output from 'time ps auxw' while a 20GB file was being mlocked without being previously preloaded into page cache) I propose that mlock() could release mmap_sem after the VM_LOCKED bits have been set in all appropriate VMAs. Then a second pass could be done to actually mlock the pages, in small batches, releasing mmap_sem when we block on disk access or when we detect some contention. This patch: Before this change, mlock() holds mmap_sem in exclusive mode while the pages get faulted in. In the case of a large mlock, this can potentially take a very long time. Various things will block while mmap_sem is held, including 'ps auxw'. This can make sysadmins angry. I propose that mlock() could release mmap_sem after the VM_LOCKED bits have been set in all appropriate VMAs. Then a second pass could be done to actually mlock the pages with mmap_sem held for reads only. We need to recheck the vma flags after we re-acquire mmap_sem, but this is easy. In the case where a vma has been munlocked before mlock completes, pages that were already marked as PageMlocked() are handled by the munlock() call, and mlock() is careful to not mark new page batches as PageMlocked() after the munlock() call has cleared the VM_LOCKED vma flags. So, the end result will be identical to what'd happen if munlock() had executed after the mlock() call. In a later change, I will allow the second pass to release mmap_sem when blocking on disk accesses or when it is otherwise contended, so that it won't be held for long periods of time even in shared mode.
