2017-08-10mm/balloon_compaction.c: don't zero ballooned pagesWei Wang1-1/+1
Revert commit bb01b64cfab7 ("mm/balloon_compaction.c: enqueue zero page to balloon device")' Zeroing ballon pages is rather time consuming, especially when a lot of pages are in flight. E.g. 7GB worth of ballooned memory takes 2.8s with __GFP_ZERO while it takes ~491ms without it. The original commit argued that zeroing will help ksmd to merge these pages on the host but this argument is assuming that the host actually marks balloon pages for ksm which is not universally true. So we pay performance penalty for something that even might not be used in the end which is wrong. The host can zero out pages on its own when there is a need.

2017-07-10mm/balloon_compaction.c: enqueue zero page to balloon devicezhenwei.pi1-1/+1
presently pages in the balloon device have random value, and these pages will be scanned by ksmd on the host. They usually cannot be merged. Enqueue zero pages will resolve this problem.

2016-07-26mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page featureMinchan Kim1-77/+17
Now, VM has a feature to migrate non-lru movable pages so balloon doesn't need custom migration hooks in migrate.c and compaction.c. Instead, this patch implements the page->mapping->a_ops-> {isolate|migrate|putback} functions. With that, we could remove hooks for ballooning in general migration functions and make balloon compaction simple.

2016-01-12virtio_balloon: fix race between migration and ballooningMinchan Kim1-2/+2
In balloon_page_dequeue, pages_lock should cover the loop (ie, list_for_each_entry_safe). Otherwise, the cursor page could be isolated by compaction and then list_del by isolation could poison the page->lru.{prev,next} so the loop finally could access wrong address like this.

2015-11-05mm: page migration trylock newpage at same level as oldpageHugh Dickins1-8/+2
Clean up page migration a little by moving the trylock of newpage from move_to_new_page() into __unmap_and_move(), where the old page has been locked. Adjust unmap_and_move_huge_page() and balloon_page_migrate() accordingly. But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so. Cutting out BUG()s is good, right? But, to be honest, this is really to extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses.

2014-10-29mm/balloon_compaction: fix deflation when compaction is disabledKonstantin Khlebnikov1-0/+2
If CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION=n balloon_page_insert() does not link pages with balloon and doesn't set PagePrivate flag, as a result balloon_page_dequeue() cannot get any pages because it thinks that all of them are isolated. Without balloon compaction nobody can isolate ballooned pages. It's safe to remove this check. Fixes: d6d86c0a7f8d ("mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages management").

2014-10-09mm/balloon_compaction: add vmstat counters and kpageflags bitKonstantin Khlebnikov1-0/+2
Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON. Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate", "balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate". They accumulate balloon activity. Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate) pages. All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON. It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature. Currently virtio-balloon is the only user.

Now ballooned pages are detected using PageBalloon(). Fake mapping is no longer required. This patch links ballooned pages to balloon device using field page->private instead of page->mapping.

2014-10-09mm/balloon_compaction: redesign ballooned pages managementKonstantin Khlebnikov1-14/+12
Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range(). Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags inside struct anon_vma. Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation: * Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works: balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with balloon an all ability for further migration. * lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically, this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages. * balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate: balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they use trylock_page() for locking. This patch fixes all of them. Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier. PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to the balloon device.

2014-01-23mm: print more details for bad_page()Dave Hansen1-2/+2
bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page. But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad, or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL. This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of places. It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set. This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad, *specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page flag combination which was the problem.

2012-12-11mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobilityRafael Aquini1-0/+302
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload. This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on making its page set movable to compaction, and thus allowing the system to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.
