Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :We were seeing a failure which prevented boot. The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket. This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks);
if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
goto out;The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
files_stat.max_files = n;In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000). That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t.get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long. get_nr_files() is
changed to return a long.unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.Before patch (on a 64bit kernel) :

The new init ramfs format (cpio based) requires an alignment of 4 (per the
documentation and per the source files themselves). As for compressed
sources, the decompressors can all deal with unaligned buffers.The cpio source is also found in the __init sections of the kernel, so
once they are read and expanded into a tmpfs, the source is freed. That
means there is no need to force page alignment here either.This has been used on Blackfin systems for many releases without issue.

With the recent change "net: remove time limit in process_backlog()", the
softnet_data variable changed from "DEFINE_PER_CPU()" to
"DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED()" which moved it from the .data section to the
.data.shared_align section. I'm not saying this patch is wrong, just that
is what caused me to notice this larger problem. No one else in the
kernel is using this aligned macro variant, so I imagine that's why no one
has noticed yet.Since .data..shared_align isn't declared in any vmlinux files that I can
see, the linker just places it last. This "just works" for most people,
but when building a ROM kernel on Blackfin systems, it causes section
overlap errors:bfin-uclinux-ld.real:
section .init.data [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e48b7] overlaps
section .data.shared_aligned [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e0723]I imagine other arches which support the ROM config option and thus do
funky placement would see similar issues ...On x86, it is stuck in a dedicated section at the end:
[8] .data PROGBITS ffffffff810ec000 2ec0000303a8 00 WA 0 0 4096
[9] .data.shared_alig PROGBITS ffffffff8111c3c0 31c3c00000c8 00 WA 0 0 64So make sure we include this section in the DATA_DATA macro so that it is
placed in the right location.Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger

This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.Tests:
- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
before, 15000 iterations/s after.- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
significant performance regressions when running without this change.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warning & crash]

This will shrink the size of the anon_vma structure from 40 to 32 bytes
& allow more objects per slab in its kmem_cache.Under slub the objects in the anon_vma kmem_cache will then be 40 bytes
with 102 objects per slab. (On v2.6.36 without this patch,the size is 48

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

…r if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone
If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will
sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep. This
patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps
if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller
is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep.This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during
IO. For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait()
but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no
congestion. Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but
after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too
long. Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making
enough progress.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>

shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a
number of conditions such as1. trylock_page() failure
2. page is unevictable
3. zone reclaim and page is mapped
4. PageWriteback() is true
5. page is swapbacked and swap is full
6. add_to_swap() failure
7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS
8. page is pinned
9. IO queue is congested
10. pageout() start IO, but not finishedWith lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim
but this can be unnecessary. In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8),
there is no point retrying. This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when
it is known it will fail.Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is,
1. start shrink_page_list(async)
2. found queue_congested()
3. skip pageout write
4. still start shrink_page_list(sync)
5. wait on a lot of pages
6. again, found queue_congested()
7. give up pageout write againSo, it's useless time wasting. However, just skipping page reclaim is
also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example.
It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128).After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows;
- If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
Ignore queue congestion always.
- If order

There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM. There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.
Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs wereX86: Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64: PPC970MPEach used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was
left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short. Four kernels were tested each based on

identifies suitable pages.stress-highalloc

same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same. In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait

reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar. The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.Trace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait

To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat.# grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
nr_dirtied 3747
# grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
nr_written 3618These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time
and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no
way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for
nr_dirty/nr_writeback.These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour.
We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block
layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have
e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour,
but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is
doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if
it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values
exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending
through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this
data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to
see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the
rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to
understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel
engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance
problems.Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written
Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat
Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.The output is as below:
# grep threshold /proc/vmstat
nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223This patch:
This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

Now, sysfs interface of memory hotplug shows whether the section is
removable or not. But it checks only migrateype of pages and doesn't
check details of cluster of pages.Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind of
check, too.This patch adds the function __count_unmovable_pages() and makes above 2
checks to use the same logic. Then, is_removable and hotremove code uses
the same logic. No changes in the hotremove logic itself.TODO: need to find a way to check RECLAMABLE. But, considering bit,
calling shrink_slab() against a range before starting memory hotremove
sounds better. If so, this patch's logic doesn't need to be changed.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.Inspired by Christoph Hellwig. Thanks!

It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.[rientjes@google.com: changelog and sys_unshare() code]
