2015-09-29mtd: provide proper 32/64-bit compat_ioctl() support for BLKPGBrian Norris2-3/+24
After a bit of poking around wondering why my 32-bit user-space can't seem to send a proper ioctl(BLKPG) to an MTD on my 64-bit kernel (ARM64), I noticed that struct blkpg_ioctl_arg is actually pretty unsuitable for use in the ioctl() ABI, due to its use of raw pointers, and its lack of alignment/packing restrictions (32-bit arch'es tend to pack the 4 fields into 4 32-bit words, whereas 64-bit arch'es would add padding after the third int, and make this 6 32-bit words). Anyway, this means BLKPG deserves some special compat_ioctl handling. Do the conversion in a small shim for MTD. block/compat_ioctl.c already has compat support for the block subsystem, but it does so by a re-marshalling data to/from user-space (see compat_blkpg_ioctl()). Personally, I think this approach is cleaner. Tested only on MTD, with an ARM32 user space on an ARM64 kernel. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

2015-09-12blk: rq_data_dir() should not return a booleanLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
rq_data_dir() returns either READ or WRITE (0 == READ, 1 == WRITE), not a boolean value. Now, admittedly the "!= 0" doesn't really change the value (0 stays as zero, 1 stays as one), but it's not only redundant, it confuses gcc, and causes gcc to warn about the construct switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { case READ: ... case WRITE: ... that we have in a few drivers. Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about _any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like this: drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’: drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in commit 5953316dbf90 ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1) would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too. But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-09-11mtd: spi-nor: Decouple SPI NOR's device_node from controller deviceMarek Vasut1-0/+2
The problem this patch is trying to address is such, that SPI NOR flash devices attached to a dedicated SPI NOR controller cannot read their properties from the associated struct device_node. A couple of facts first: 1) Each SPI NOR flash has a struct spi_nor associated with it. 2) Each SPI NOR flash has certain device properties associated with it, for example the OF property 'm25p,fast-read' is a good pick. These properties are used by the SPI NOR core to select which opcodes are sent to such SPI NOR flash. These properties are coming from spi_nor .dev->of_node . The problem is, that for SPI NOR controllers, the struct spi_nor .dev element points to the struct device of the SPI NOR controller, not the SPI NOR flash. Therefore, the associated dev->of_node also is the one of the controller and therefore the SPI NOR core code is trying to parse the SPI NOR controller's properties, not the properties of the SPI NOR flash. Note: The m25p80 driver is not affected, because the controller and the flash are the same device, so the associated device_node of the controller and the flash are the same. This patch adjusts the SPI NOR core such that the device_node is not picked from spi_nor .dev directly, but from a new separate spi_nor .flash_node element. This let's the SPI NOR controller drivers set up a different spi_nor .flash_node element for each SPI NOR flash. This patch also fixes the controller drivers to be compatible with this modification and correctly set the spi_nor .flash_node element.

2015-09-11sys_membarrier(): system-wide memory barrier (generic, x86)Mathieu Desnoyers4-1/+59
Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU [1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side. The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by this system call are as follows: * Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so) - DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/ - Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/) - Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/) - User-space tracing (http://lttng.org) - Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/) - Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf) - Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189) Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu(). * Direct users of sys_membarrier - core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198) Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect() side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for. To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads: Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu()) Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()) In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()". Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs: Thread A Thread B previous mem accesses previous mem accesses smp_mb() smp_mb() following mem accesses following mem accesses After the change, these pairs become: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they do (2). 1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses: Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() follow mem accesses prev mem accesses barrier() follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK, because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in ordering them with respect to its own accesses. 2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses Thread A Thread B prev mem accesses prev mem accesses sys_membarrier() barrier() follow mem accesses follow mem accesses In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full smp_mb() by synchronize_sched(). * Benchmarks On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores) (one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy looping) 1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call. * User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are implied by the scheduler context switches. Results in liburcu: Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers: memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that, sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However, this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace period than signal and memory barrier schemes. Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries, and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application. An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock. This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic. [1] http://urcu.so membarrier(2) man page: MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2) NAME membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads SYNOPSIS #include <linux/membarrier.h> int membarrier(int cmd, int flags); DESCRIPTION The cmd argument is one of the following: MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of supported commands. MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that all running threads have passed through a state where all memory accesses to user-space addresses match program order between entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90 cesses running on the system. This command returns 0. The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions. All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb(): The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered): barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier() barrier() X X O smp_mb() X O O sys_membarrier() O O O RETURN VALUE On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the same value until reboot.

2015-09-11target/qla2xxx: Honor max_data_sg_nents I/O transfer limitNicholas Bellinger1-0/+13
This patch adds an optional fabric driver provided SGL limit that target-core will honor as it's own internal I/O maximum transfer length limit, as exposed by EVPD=0xb0 block limits parameters. This is required for handling cases when host I/O transfer length exceeds the requested EVPD block limits maximum transfer length. The initial user of this logic is qla2xxx, so that we can avoid having to reject I/Os from some legacy FC hosts where EVPD=0xb0 parameters are not honored. When se_cmd payload length exceeds the provided limit in target_check_max_data_sg_nents() code, se_cmd->data_length + se_cmd->prot_length are reset with se_cmd->residual_count plus underflow bit for outgoing TFO response callbacks. It also checks for existing CDB level underflow + overflow and recalculates final residual_count as necessary. Note this patch currently assumes 1:1 mapping of PAGE_SIZE per struct scatterlist entry.

Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe: "A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a while. This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle. Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates: - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure. - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism. - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup. Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling: cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO. writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against. This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group, which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution implemented by cfq. - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff. - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased. Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches: This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods and blk[c]g_policy_data handling. - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped. - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data. - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct allocation. - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or blkcg. And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats handling: blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset tries to improve the situation a bit. - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps colllecting common stats on bio issue. - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek. - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core support both by default. - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats multiple times.

2015-09-10dma-mapping: consolidate dma_set_maskChristoph Hellwig1-0/+15
Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time that's hidden in ->set_dma_mask methods. This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either calls ->set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default implementation. Some architectures used to only call ->set_dma_mask after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the full work. h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has been fixed. Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override for now.

2015-09-10dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherentChristoph Hellwig1-0/+18
Most architectures do not support non-coherent allocations and either define dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent to their coherent versions or stub them out. Openrisc uses dma_{alloc,free}_attrs to implement them, and only Mips implements them directly. This patch moves the Openrisc version to common code, and handles the DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT case in the mips dma_map_ops instance. Note that actual non-coherent allocations require a dma_cache_sync implementation, so if non-coherent allocations didn't work on an architecture before this patch they still won't work after it.

2015-09-10dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_{attrs,coherent}Christoph Hellwig1-0/+58
Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to duplicate. This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very non-standard implementations. This patch (of 5): The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting dma_map operations. This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences: - the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including those that were previously missing them - dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature - checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed. There is only one magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one is x86 only anyway. Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags. An optional arch hook is provided for that.

2015-09-10mm, mpx: add "vm_flags_t vm_flags" arg to do_mmap_pgoff()Oleg Nesterov1-2/+10
Add the additional "vm_flags_t vm_flags" argument to do_mmap_pgoff(), rename it to do_mmap(), and re-introduce do_mmap_pgoff() as a simple wrapper on top of do_mmap(). Perhaps we should update the callers of do_mmap_pgoff() and kill it later. This way mpx_mmap() can simply call do_mmap(vm_flags => VM_MPX) and do not play with vm internals. After this change mmap_region() has a single user outside of mmap.c, arch/tile/mm/elf.c:arch_setup_additional_pages(). It would be nice to change arch/tile/ and unexport mmap_region().

2015-09-10kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core codeDave Young1-3/+3
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

2015-09-10kmod: use system_unbound_wq instead of khelperFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+0
We need to launch the usermodehelper kernel threads with the widest affinity and this is partly why we use khelper. This workqueue has unbound properties and thus a wide affinity inherited by all its children. Now khelper also has special properties that we aren't much interested in: ordered and singlethread. There is really no need about ordering as all we do is creating kernel threads. This can be done concurrently. And singlethread is a useless limitation as well. The workqueue engine already proposes generic unbound workqueues that don't share these useless properties and handle well parallel jobs. The only worrysome specific is their affinity to the node of the current CPU. It's fine for creating the usermodehelper kernel threads but those inherit this affinity for longer jobs such as requesting modules. This patch proposes to use these node affine unbound workqueues assuming that a node is sufficient to handle several parallel usermodehelper requests.

2015-09-10include/linux/poison.h: fix LIST_POISON{1,2} offsetVasily Kulikov1-2/+2
Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space. E.g. on x86 "poison pointer space" is located starting from 0x0. Given unprivileged users cannot mmap anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers lower than mmap_min_addr. The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g. Ubuntu uses only 0x10000). There is little point to use such a big value given the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted. Changing it to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups.

2015-09-10proc: export idle flag via kpageflagsVladimir Davydov1-0/+1
As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while estimating the size of unused memory. Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an up-to-date value. To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.

2015-09-10mm: introduce idle page trackingVladimir Davydov4-0/+127
Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately. Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However, this method has two serious shortcomings: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags, Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page, and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2) system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount of pages that are not used by the workload. The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file. If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was cleared. Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

2015-09-10mmu-notifier: add clear_young callbackVladimir Davydov1-0/+44
In the scope of the idle memory tracking feature, which is introduced by the following patch, we need to clear the referenced/accessed bit not only in primary, but also in secondary ptes. The latter is required in order to estimate wss of KVM VMs. At the same time we want to avoid flushing tlb, because it is quite expensive and it won't really affect the final result. Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet our requirements, so this patch introduces one. To achieve that we have to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb. The new method is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

2015-09-10memcg: add page_cgroup_ino helperVladimir Davydov1-0/+1
This patchset introduces a new user API for tracking user memory pages that have not been used for a given period of time. The purpose of this is to provide the userspace with the means of tracking a workload's working set, i.e. the set of pages that are actively used by the workload. Knowing the working set size can be useful for partitioning the system more efficiently, e.g. by tuning memory cgroup limits appropriately, or for job placement within a compute cluster. ==== USE CASES ==== The unified cgroup hierarchy has memory.low and memory.high knobs, which are defined as the low and high boundaries for the workload working set size. However, the working set size of a workload may be unknown or change in time. With this patch set, one can periodically estimate the amount of memory unused by each cgroup and tune their memory.low and memory.high parameters accordingly, therefore optimizing the overall memory utilization. Another use case is balancing workloads within a compute cluster. Knowing how much memory is not really used by a workload unit may help take a more optimal decision when considering migrating the unit to another node within the cluster. Also, as noted by Minchan, this would be useful for per-process reclaim (https://lwn.net/Articles/545668/). With idle tracking, we could reclaim idle pages only by smart user memory manager. ==== USER API ==== The user API consists of two new files: * /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. This file implements a bitmap where each bit corresponds to a page, indexed by PFN. When the bit is set, the corresponding page is idle. A page is considered idle if it has not been accessed since it was marked idle. To mark a page idle one should set the bit corresponding to the page by writing to the file. A value written to the file is OR-ed with the current bitmap value. Only user memory pages can be marked idle, for other page types input is silently ignored. Writing to this file beyond max PFN results in the ENXIO error. Only available when CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING is set. This file can be used to estimate the amount of pages that are not used by a particular workload as follows: 1. mark all pages of interest idle by setting corresponding bits in the /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap 2. wait until the workload accesses its working set 3. read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap and count the number of bits set * /proc/kpagecgroup. This file contains a 64-bit inode number of the memory cgroup each page is charged to, indexed by PFN. Only available when CONFIG_MEMCG is set. This file can be used to find all pages (including unmapped file pages) accounted to a particular cgroup. Using /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap, one can then estimate the cgroup working set size. For an example of using these files for estimating the amount of unused memory pages per each memory cgroup, please see the script attached below. ==== REASONING ==== The reason to introduce the new user API instead of using /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps} is that the latter has two serious drawbacks: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic The new API attempts to overcome them both. For more details on how it is achieved, please see the comment to patch 6. ==== PATCHSET STRUCTURE ==== The patch set is organized as follows: - patch 1 adds page_cgroup_ino() helper for the sake of /proc/kpagecgroup and patches 2-3 do related cleanup - patch 4 adds /proc/kpagecgroup, which reports cgroup ino each page is charged to - patch 5 introduces a new mmu notifier callback, clear_young, which is a lightweight version of clear_flush_young; it is used in patch 6 - patch 6 implements the idle page tracking feature, including the userspace API, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap - patch 7 exports idle flag via /proc/kpageflags ==== SIMILAR WORKS ==== Originally, the patch for tracking idle memory was proposed back in 2011 by Michel Lespinasse (see http://lwn.net/Articles/459269/). The main difference between Michel's patch and this one is that Michel implemented a kernel space daemon for estimating idle memory size per cgroup while this patch only provides the userspace with the minimal API for doing the job, leaving the rest up to the userspace. However, they both share the same idea of Idle/Young page flags to avoid affecting the reclaimer logic. ==== PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ==== SPECjvm2008 (https://www.spec.org/jvm2008/) was used to evaluate the performance impact introduced by this patch set. Three runs were carried out: - base: kernel without the patch - patched: patched kernel, the feature is not used - patched-active: patched kernel, 1 minute-period daemon is used for tracking idle memory For tracking idle memory, idlememstat utility was used: https://github.com/locker/idlememstat testcase base patched patched-active compiler 537.40 ( 0.00)% 532.26 (-0.96)% 538.31 ( 0.17)% compress 305.47 ( 0.00)% 301.08 (-1.44)% 300.71 (-1.56)% crypto 284.32 ( 0.00)% 282.21 (-0.74)% 284.87 ( 0.19)% derby 411.05 ( 0.00)% 413.44 ( 0.58)% 412.07 ( 0.25)% mpegaudio 189.96 ( 0.00)% 190.87 ( 0.48)% 189.42 (-0.28)% scimark.large 46.85 ( 0.00)% 46.41 (-0.94)% 47.83 ( 2.09)% scimark.small 412.91 ( 0.00)% 415.41 ( 0.61)% 421.17 ( 2.00)% serial 204.23 ( 0.00)% 213.46 ( 4.52)% 203.17 (-0.52)% startup 36.76 ( 0.00)% 35.49 (-3.45)% 35.64 (-3.05)% sunflow 115.34 ( 0.00)% 115.08 (-0.23)% 117.37 ( 1.76)% xml 620.55 ( 0.00)% 619.95 (-0.10)% 620.39 (-0.03)% composite 211.50 ( 0.00)% 211.15 (-0.17)% 211.67 ( 0.08)% time idlememstat: 17.20user 65.16system 2:15:23elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 8476maxresident)k 448inputs+40outputs (1major+36052minor)pagefaults 0swaps ==== SCRIPT FOR COUNTING IDLE PAGES PER CGROUP ==== #! /usr/bin/python # import os import stat import errno import struct CGROUP_MOUNT = "/sys/fs/cgroup/memory" BUFSIZE = 8 * 1024 # must be multiple of 8 def get_hugepage_size(): with open("/proc/meminfo", "r") as f: for s in f: k, v = s.split(":") if k == "Hugepagesize": return int(v.split()[0]) * 1024 PAGE_SIZE = os.sysconf("SC_PAGE_SIZE") HUGEPAGE_SIZE = get_hugepage_size() def set_idle(): f = open("/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap", "wb", BUFSIZE) while True: try: f.write(struct.pack("Q", pow(2, 64) - 1)) except IOError as err: if err.errno == errno.ENXIO: break raise f.close() def count_idle(): f_flags = open("/proc/kpageflags", "rb", BUFSIZE) f_cgroup = open("/proc/kpagecgroup", "rb", BUFSIZE) with open("/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap", "rb", BUFSIZE) as f: while f.read(BUFSIZE): pass # update idle flag idlememsz = {} while True: s1, s2 = f_flags.read(8), f_cgroup.read(8) if not s1 or not s2: break flags, = struct.unpack('Q', s1) cgino, = struct.unpack('Q', s2) unevictable = (flags >> 18) & 1 huge = (flags >> 22) & 1 idle = (flags >> 25) & 1 if idle and not unevictable: idlememsz[cgino] = idlememsz.get(cgino, 0) + \ (HUGEPAGE_SIZE if huge else PAGE_SIZE) f_flags.close() f_cgroup.close() return idlememsz if __name__ == "__main__": print "Setting the idle flag for each page..." set_idle() raw_input("Wait until the workload accesses its working set, " "then press Enter") print "Counting idle pages..." idlememsz = count_idle() for dir, subdirs, files in os.walk(CGROUP_MOUNT): ino = os.stat(dir)[stat.ST_INO] print dir + ": " + str(idlememsz.get(ino, 0) / 1024) + " kB" ==== END SCRIPT ==== This patch (of 8): Add page_cgroup_ino() helper to memcg.
