[PATCH] hugepage: serialize hugepage allocation and instantiation Currently, no lock or mutex is held between allocating a hugepage and inserting it into the pagetables / page cache. When we do go to insert the page into pagetables or page cache, we recheck and may free the newly allocated hugepage. However, since the number of hugepages in the system is strictly limited, and it's usualy to want to use all of them, this can still lead to spurious allocation failures. For example, suppose two processes are both mapping (MAP_SHARED) the same hugepage file, large enough to consume the entire available hugepage pool. If they race instantiating the last page in the mapping, they will both attempt to allocate the last available hugepage. One will fail, of course, returning OOM from the fault and thus causing the process to be killed, despite the fact that the entire mapping can, in fact, be instantiated. The patch fixes this race by the simple method of adding a (sleeping) mutex to serialize the hugepage fault path between allocation and insertion into pagetables and/or page cache. It would be possible to avoid the serialization by catching the allocation failures, waiting on some condition, then rechecking to see if someone else has instantiated the page for us. Given the likely frequency of hugepage instantiations, it seems very doubtful it's worth the extra complexity. This patch causes no regression on the libhugetlbfs testsuite, and one test, which can trigger this race now passes where it previously failed. Actually, the test still sometimes fails, though less often and only as a shmat() failure, rather processes getting OOM killed by the VM. The dodgy heuristic tests in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c for whether there's enough hugepage space aren't protected by the new mutex, and would be ugly to do so, so there's still a race there. Another patch to replace those tests with something saner for this reason as well as others coming...

hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail if the node has no memory. Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom interleave variable. The callers of this function, though, assume that a failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated on the system period. This might not be the case, for instance, if we have an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory on the other nodes. To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated. Add a helper function for actually allocating the hugepage. Use a new global nid iterator to control which nid to allocate on. Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now enforced even for memoryless nodes. That is, there is should be no fallback to other nodes. Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from. If this is incorrect, accounting will break. Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2 memoryless nodes).

Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference Counting This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone. Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy, but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the numa map data. Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy. The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy. This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy. Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier. huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma 'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be unref'd after allocation.

mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting [yet again] After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually fast paths. In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the unref for interleave policies. A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting. This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes, simplifies the code. Maybe I'll get it right this time. See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch. Summary: Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared policies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference counting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put] helper function introduced by this patch. Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma containing just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma() multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in this case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue here. I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a conditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

hugetlb: Move update_and_free_page Dynamic huge page pool resizing. In most real-world scenarios, configuring the size of the hugetlb pool correctly is a difficult task. If too few pages are allocated to the pool, applications using MAP_SHARED may fail to mmap() a hugepage region and applications using MAP_PRIVATE may receive SIGBUS. Isolating too much memory in the hugetlb pool means it is not available for other uses, especially those programs not using huge pages. The obvious answer is to let the hugetlb pool grow and shrink in response to the runtime demand for huge pages. The work Mel Gorman has been doing to establish a memory zone for movable memory allocations makes dynamically resizing the hugetlb pool reliable within the limits of that zone. This patch series implements dynamic pool resizing for private and shared mappings while being careful to maintain existing semantics. Please reply with your comments and feedback; even just to say whether it would be a useful feature to you. Thanks. How it works ============ Upon depletion of the hugetlb pool, rather than reporting an error immediately, first try and allocate the needed huge pages directly from the buddy allocator. Care must be taken to avoid unbounded growth of the hugetlb pool, so the hugetlb filesystem quota is used to limit overall pool size. The real work begins when we decide there is a shortage of huge pages. What happens next depends on whether the pages are for a private or shared mapping. Private mappings are straightforward. At fault time, if alloc_huge_page() fails, we allocate a page from the buddy allocator and increment the source node's surplus_huge_pages counter. When free_huge_page() is called for a page on a node with a surplus, the page is freed directly to the buddy allocator instead of the hugetlb pool. Because shared mappings require all of the pages to be reserved up front, some additional work must be done at mmap() to support them. We determine the reservation shortage and allocate the required number of pages all at once. These pages are then added to the hugetlb pool and marked reserved. Where that is not possible the mmap() will fail. As with private mappings, the appropriate surplus counters are updated. Since reserved huge pages won't necessarily be used by the process, we can't be sure that free_huge_page() will always be called to return surplus pages to the buddy allocator. To prevent the huge page pool from bloating, we must free unused surplus pages when their reservation has ended. Controlling it ============== With the entire patch series applied, pool resizing is off by default so unless specific action is taken, the semantics are unchanged. To take advantage of the flexibility afforded by this patch series one must tolerate a change in semantics. To control hugetlb pool growth, the following techniques can be employed: * A sysctl tunable to enable/disable the feature entirely * The size= mount option for hugetlbfs filesystems to limit pool size Performance =========== When contiguous memory is readily available, it is expected that the cost of dynamicly resizing the pool will be small. This series has been performance tested with 'stream' to measure this cost.

hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail if the node has no memory. Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom interleave variable. The callers of this function, though, assume that a failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated on the system period. This might not be the case, for instance, if we have an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory on the other nodes. To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated. Add a helper function for actually allocating the hugepage. Use a new global nid iterator to control which nid to allocate on. Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now enforced even for memoryless nodes. That is, there is should be no fallback to other nodes. Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from. If this is incorrect, accounting will break.

page allocator: explicitly retry hugepage allocations Add __GFP_REPEAT to hugepage allocations. Do so to not necessitate userspace putting pressure on the VM by repeated echo's into /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages to grow the pool. With the previous patch to allow for large-order __GFP_REPEAT attempts to loop for a bit (as opposed to indefinitely), this increases the likelihood of getting hugepages when the system experiences (or recently experienced) load. Mel tested the patchset on an x86_32 laptop. With the patches, it was easier to use the proc interface to grow the hugepage pool. The following is the output of a script that grows the pool as much as possible running on 2.6.25-rc9.

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient: 1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a per-node basis seems inconsistent to me. 2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored. To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0 indicates the same administrative setting as hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1 Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a per-mount basis. A few caveats: 1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync. 2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed. Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot, modified to use the new sysctl.

/*

* prevent racing processes from causing the surplus to exceed
* overcommit
*
* This however introduces a different race, where a process B
* tries to grow the static hugepage pool while alloc_pages() is
* called by process A. B will only examine the per-node
* counters in determining if surplus huge pages can be
* converted to normal huge pages in adjust_pool_surplus(). A
* won't be able to increment the per-node counter, until the
* lock is dropped by B, but B doesn't drop hugetlb_lock until
* no more huge pages can be converted from surplus to normal
* state (and doesn't try to convert again). Thus, we have a
* case where a surplus huge page exists, the pool is grown, and
* the surplus huge page still exists after, even though it
* should just have been converted to a normal huge page. This
* does not leak memory, though, as the hugepage will be freed
* once it is out of use. It also does not allow the counters to
* go out of whack in adjust_pool_surplus() as we don't modify
* the node values until we've gotten the hugepage and only the

page allocator: explicitly retry hugepage allocations Add __GFP_REPEAT to hugepage allocations. Do so to not necessitate userspace putting pressure on the VM by repeated echo's into /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages to grow the pool. With the previous patch to allow for large-order __GFP_REPEAT attempts to loop for a bit (as opposed to indefinitely), this increases the likelihood of getting hugepages when the system experiences (or recently experienced) load. Mel tested the patchset on an x86_32 laptop. With the patches, it was easier to use the proc interface to grow the hugepage pool. The following is the output of a script that grows the pool as much as possible running on 2.6.25-rc9. Allocating hugepages test ------------------------- Disabling OOM Killer for current test process Starting page count: 0 Attempt 1: 57 pages Progress made with 57 pages Attempt 2: 73 pages Progress made with 16 pages Attempt 3: 74 pages Progress made with 1 pages Attempt 4: 75 pages Progress made with 1 pages Attempt 5: 77 pages Progress made with 2 pages 77 pages was the most it allocated but it took 5 attempts from userspace to get it. With the 3 patches in this series applied, Allocating hugepages test ------------------------- Disabling OOM Killer for current test process Starting page count: 0 Attempt 1: 75 pages Progress made with 75 pages Attempt 2: 76 pages Progress made with 1 pages Attempt 3: 79 pages Progress made with 3 pages And 79 pages was the most it got. Your patches were able to allocate the bulk of possible pages on the first attempt.

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient: 1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a per-node basis seems inconsistent to me. 2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored. To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0 indicates the same administrative setting as hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1 Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a per-mount basis. A few caveats: 1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync. 2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.

hugetlb: split alloc_huge_page into private and shared components Hugetlbfs implements a quota system which can limit the amount of memory that can be used by the filesystem. Before allocating a new huge page for a file, the quota is checked and debited. The quota is then credited when truncating the file. I found a few bugs in the code for both MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED mappings. Before detailing the problems and my proposed solutions, we should agree on a definition of quotas that properly addresses both private and shared pages. Since the purpose of quotas is to limit total memory consumption on a per-filesystem basis, I argue that all pages allocated by the fs (private and shared) should be charged against quota. Private Mappings ================ The current code will debit quota for private pages sometimes, but will never credit it. At a minimum, this causes a leak in the quota accounting which renders the accounting essentially useless as it is. Shared pages have a one to one mapping with a hugetlbfs file and are easy to account by debiting on allocation and crediting on truncate. Private pages are anonymous in nature and have a many to one relationship with their hugetlbfs files (due to copy on write). Because private pages are not indexed by the mapping's radix tree, thier quota cannot be credited at file truncation time. Crediting must be done when the page is unmapped and freed. Shared Pages ============ I discovered an issue concerning the interaction between the MAP_SHARED reservation system and quotas. Since quota is not checked until page instantiation, an over-quota mmap/reservation will initially succeed. When instantiating the first over-quota page, the program will receive SIGBUS. This is inconsistent since the reservation is supposed to be a guarantee. The solution is to debit the full amount of quota at reservation time and credit the unused portion when the reservation is released. This patch series brings quotas back in line by making the following modifications: * Private pages - Debit quota in alloc_huge_page() - Credit quota in free_huge_page() * Shared pages - Debit quota for entire reservation at mmap time - Credit quota for instantiated pages in free_huge_page() - Credit quota for unused reservation at munmap time This patch: The shared page reservation and dynamic pool resizing features have made the allocation of private vs. shared huge pages quite different. By splitting out the private/shared-specific portions of the process into their own functions, readability is greatly improved. alloc_huge_page now calls the proper helper and performs common operations.

[PATCH] hugepage: Strict page reservation for hugepage inodes These days, hugepages are demand-allocated at first fault time. There's a somewhat dubious (and racy) heuristic when making a new mmap() to check if there are enough available hugepages to fully satisfy that mapping. A particularly obvious case where the heuristic breaks down is where a process maps its hugepages not as a single chunk, but as a bunch of individually mmap()ed (or shmat()ed) blocks without touching and instantiating the pages in between allocations. In this case the size of each block is compared against the total number of available hugepages. It's thus easy for the process to become overcommitted, because each block mapping will succeed, although the total number of hugepages required by all blocks exceeds the number available. In particular, this defeats such a program which will detect a mapping failure and adjust its hugepage usage downward accordingly. The patch below addresses this problem, by strictly reserving a number of physical hugepages for hugepage inodes which have been mapped, but not instatiated. MAP_SHARED mappings are thus "safe" - they will fail on mmap(), not later with an OOM SIGKILL. MAP_PRIVATE mappings can still trigger an OOM. (Actually SHARED mappings can technically still OOM, but only if the sysadmin explicitly reduces the hugepage pool between mapping and instantiation) This patch appears to address the problem at hand - it allows DB2 to start correctly, for instance, which previously suffered the failure described above. This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetblfs testsuite, and makes a test (designed to catch this problem) pass which previously failed (ppc64, POWER5).

hugetlb: split alloc_huge_page into private and shared components Hugetlbfs implements a quota system which can limit the amount of memory that can be used by the filesystem. Before allocating a new huge page for a file, the quota is checked and debited. The quota is then credited when truncating the file. I found a few bugs in the code for both MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED mappings. Before detailing the problems and my proposed solutions, we should agree on a definition of quotas that properly addresses both private and shared pages. Since the purpose of quotas is to limit total memory consumption on a per-filesystem basis, I argue that all pages allocated by the fs (private and shared) should be charged against quota. Private Mappings ================ The current code will debit quota for private pages sometimes, but will never credit it. At a minimum, this causes a leak in the quota accounting which renders the accounting essentially useless as it is. Shared pages have a one to one mapping with a hugetlbfs file and are easy to account by debiting on allocation and crediting on truncate. Private pages are anonymous in nature and have a many to one relationship with their hugetlbfs files (due to copy on write). Because private pages are not indexed by the mapping's radix tree, thier quota cannot be credited at file truncation time. Crediting must be done when the page is unmapped and freed. Shared Pages ============ I discovered an issue concerning the interaction between the MAP_SHARED reservation system and quotas.

[PATCH] hugepage: Strict page reservation for hugepage inodes These days, hugepages are demand-allocated at first fault time. There's a somewhat dubious (and racy) heuristic when making a new mmap() to check if there are enough available hugepages to fully satisfy that mapping. A particularly obvious case where the heuristic breaks down is where a process maps its hugepages not as a single chunk, but as a bunch of individually mmap()ed (or shmat()ed) blocks without touching and instantiating the pages in between allocations. In this case the size of each block is compared against the total number of available hugepages. It's thus easy for the process to become overcommitted, because each block mapping will succeed, although the total number of hugepages required by all blocks exceeds the number available. In particular, this defeats such a program which will detect a mapping failure and adjust its hugepage usage downward accordingly. The patch below addresses this problem, by strictly reserving a number of physical hugepages for hugepage inodes which have been mapped, but not instatiated. MAP_SHARED mappings are thus "safe" - they will fail on mmap(), not later with an OOM SIGKILL. MAP_PRIVATE mappings can still trigger an OOM. (Actually SHARED mappings can technically still OOM, but only if the sysadmin explicitly reduces the hugepage pool between mapping and instantiation) This patch appears to address the problem at hand - it allows DB2 to start correctly, for instance, which previously suffered the failure described above. This patch causes no regressions on the libhugetblfs testsuite, and makes a test (designed to catch this problem) pass which previously failed (ppc64, POWER5).

hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail if the node has no memory. Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom interleave variable. The callers of this function, though, assume that a failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated on the system period. This might not be the case, for instance, if we have an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory on the other nodes. To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated. Add a helper function for actually allocating the hugepage. Use a new global nid iterator to control which nid to allocate on. Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now enforced even for memoryless nodes. That is, there is should be no fallback to other nodes. Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from. If this is incorrect, accounting will break. Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2 memoryless nodes).

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient: 1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a per-node basis seems inconsistent to me. 2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored. To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0 indicates the same administrative setting as hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1 Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a per-mount basis. A few caveats: 1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync. 2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed. Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot, modified to use the new sysctl.

fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64 is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code the system leaks some of the hugepages. ------------------------------------------------------- Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 5500 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Just before shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4475 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB After shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4988 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB ---------------------------------------------------------- The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

mm: fix PageUptodate data race After running SetPageUptodate, preceeding stores to the page contents to actually bring it uptodate may not be ordered with the store to set the page uptodate. Therefore, another CPU which checks PageUptodate is true, then reads the page contents can get stale data. Fix this by having an smp_wmb before SetPageUptodate, and smp_rmb after PageUptodate. Many places that test PageUptodate, do so with the page locked, and this would be enough to ensure memory ordering in those places if SetPageUptodate were only called while the page is locked. Unfortunately that is not always the case for some filesystems, but it could be an idea for the future. Also bring the handling of anonymous page uptodateness in line with that of file backed page management, by marking anon pages as uptodate when they _are_ uptodate, rather than when our implementation requires that they be marked as such. Doing allows us to get rid of the smp_wmb's in the page copying functions, which were especially added for anonymous pages for an analogous memory ordering problem. Both file and anonymous pages are handled with the same barriers. FAQ: Q. Why not do this in flush_dcache_page? A. Firstly, flush_dcache_page handles only one side (the smb side) of the ordering protocol; we'd still need smp_rmb somewhere. Secondly, hiding away memory barriers in a completely unrelated function is nasty; at least in the PageUptodate macros, they are located together with (half) the operations involved in the ordering. Thirdly, the smp_wmb is only required when first bringing the page uptodate, wheras flush_dcache_page should be called each time it is written to through the kernel mapping. It is logically the wrong place to put it. Q. Why does this increase my text size / reduce my performance / etc. A. Because it is adding the necessary instructions to eliminate the data-race. Q. Can it be improved? A. Yes, eg. if you were to create a rule that all SetPageUptodate operations run under the page lock, we could avoid the smp_rmb places where PageUptodate is queried under the page lock. Requires audit of all filesystems and at least some would need reworking. That's great you're interested, I'm eagerly awaiting your patches.

[PATCH] hugepage: serialize hugepage allocation and instantiation Currently, no lock or mutex is held between allocating a hugepage and inserting it into the pagetables / page cache. When we do go to insert the page into pagetables or page cache, we recheck and may free the newly allocated hugepage. However, since the number of hugepages in the system is strictly limited, and it's usualy to want to use all of them, this can still lead to spurious allocation failures. For example, suppose two processes are both mapping (MAP_SHARED) the same hugepage file, large enough to consume the entire available hugepage pool. If they race instantiating the last page in the mapping, they will both attempt to allocate the last available hugepage. One will fail, of course, returning OOM from the fault and thus causing the process to be killed, despite the fact that the entire mapping can, in fact, be instantiated. The patch fixes this race by the simple method of adding a (sleeping) mutex to serialize the hugepage fault path between allocation and insertion into pagetables and/or page cache. It would be possible to avoid the serialization by catching the allocation failures, waiting on some condition, then rechecking to see if someone else has instantiated the page for us. Given the likely frequency of hugepage instantiations, it seems very doubtful it's worth the extra complexity. This patch causes no regression on the libhugetlbfs testsuite, and one test, which can trigger this race now passes where it previously failed. Actually, the test still sometimes fails, though less often and only as a shmat() failure, rather processes getting OOM killed by the VM. The dodgy heuristic tests in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c for whether there's enough hugepage space aren't protected by the new mutex, and would be ugly to do so, so there's still a race there. Another patch to replace those tests with something saner for this reason as well as others coming...

If they race instantiating the last page in the mapping, they will both attempt to allocate the last available hugepage. One will fail, of course, returning OOM from the fault and thus causing the process to be killed, despite the fact that the entire mapping can, in fact, be instantiated. The patch fixes this race by the simple method of adding a (sleeping) mutex to serialize the hugepage fault path between allocation and insertion into pagetables and/or page cache. It would be possible to avoid the serialization by catching the allocation failures, waiting on some condition, then rechecking to see if someone else has instantiated the page for us. Given the likely frequency of hugepage instantiations, it seems very doubtful it's worth the extra complexity. This patch causes no regression on the libhugetlbfs testsuite, and one test, which can trigger this race now passes where it previously failed. Actually, the test still sometimes fails, though less often and only as a shmat() failure, rather processes getting OOM killed by the VM. The dodgy heuristic tests in fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c for whether there's enough hugepage space aren't protected by the new mutex, and would be ugly to do so, so there's still a race there. Another patch to replace those tests with something saner for this reason as well as others coming...

mm: fault feedback #2 This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer. This requires requires all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault -- however that would be for another patch).

[PATCH] hugepage: serialize hugepage allocation and instantiation Currently, no lock or mutex is held between allocating a hugepage and inserting it into the pagetables / page cache. When we do go to insert the page into pagetables or page cache, we recheck and may free the newly allocated hugepage. However, since the number of hugepages in the system is strictly limited, and it's usualy to want to use all of them, this can still lead to spurious allocation failures. For example, suppose two processes are both mapping (MAP_SHARED) the same hugepage file, large enough to consume the entire available hugepage pool. If they race instantiating the last page in the mapping, they will both attempt to allocate the last available hugepage. One will fail, of course, returning OOM from the fault and thus causing the process to be killed, despite the fact that the entire mapping can, in fact, be instantiated.

[PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages 2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb mprotect. From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/). In fact, we don't need this test. If the given addresses match the beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned. If they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA. The very first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary. From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE. The identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect. A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc(). The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.

[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.
