In isolate_migratepages_block, if we have too many isolated pages and
nr_migratepages is not zero, we should try to migrate what we have
without wasting time on isolating.In theory it's possible that multiple parallel compactions will cause
too_many_isolated() to become true even if each has isolated less than
COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, and loop forever in the while loop. Bailing
immediately prevents that.[vbabka@suse.cz: changelog addition]

In isolate_migratepages_block, when cc->alloc_contig is true, we are
able to isolate compound pages. But nr_migratepages and nr_isolated did
not count compound pages correctly, causing us to isolate more pages
than we thought.So count compound pages as the number of base pages they contain.
Otherwise, we might be trapped in too_many_isolated while loop, since
the actual isolated pages can go up to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX*512=16384,
where COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX is 32, since we stop isolation after
cc->nr_migratepages reaches to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX.In addition, after we fix the issue above, cc->nr_migratepages could
never be equal to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX if compound pages are isolated,
thus page isolation could not stop as we intended. Change the isolation
stop condition to '>='.The issue can be triggered as follows:
In a system with 16GB memory and an 8GB CMA region reserved by
hugetlb_cma, if we first allocate 10GB THPs and mlock them (so some THPs
are allocated in the CMA region and mlocked), reserving 6 1GB hugetlb
pages via /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages will
get stuck (looping in too_many_isolated function) until we kill either
task. With the patch applied, oom will kill the application with 10GB
THPs and let hugetlb page reservation finish.[ziy@nvidia.com: v3]

For some applications, we need to allocate almost all memory as hugepages.
However, on a running system, higher-order allocations can fail if the
memory is fragmented. Linux kernel currently does on-demand compaction as
we request more hugepages, but this style of compaction incurs very high
latency. Experiments with one-time full memory compaction (followed by
hugepage allocations) show that kernel is able to restore a highly
fragmented memory state to a fairly compacted memory state within 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20

In this test, we first fragment memory using the same method as for (1).

allow hugepage backing of this heap./usr/bin/time

8.35user 194.58system 3:19.62elapsed
Elapsed time remains around 3:15, as proactiveness is further increased.
Note that proactive compaction happens throughout the runtime of these
workloads. The situation of one-time compaction, sufficient to supply
hugepages for following allocation stream, can probably happen for more
extreme proactiveness values, like 80 or 90.In the above Java workload, proactiveness is set to 20. The test starts
with a node's score of 80 or higher, depending on the delay between the
fragmentation step and starting the benchmark, which gives more-or-less
time for the initial round of compaction. As t he benchmark consumes
hugepages, node's score quickly rises above the high threshold (90) and
proactive compaction starts again, which brings down the score to the low
threshold level (80). Repeat.bpftrace also confirms proactive compaction running 20+ times during the
runtime of this Java benchmark. kcompactd threads consume 100% of one of
the CPUs while it tries to bring a node's score within thresholds.Backoff behavior
================Above workloads produce a memory state which is easy to compact. However,
if memory is filled with unmovable pages, proactive compaction should
essentially back off. To test this aspect:- Created a kernel driver that allocates almost all memory as hugepages
followed by freeing first 3/4 of each hugepage.
- Set proactiveness=40
- Note that proactive_compact_node() is deferred maximum number of times
with HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC of wait between each check
(=> ~30 seconds between retries).[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11098289/

Hugh reports:
"While stressing compaction, one run oopsed on NULL capc->cc in
__free_one_page()'s task_capc(zone): compact_zone_order() had been
interrupted, and a page was being freed in the return from interrupt.Though you would not expect it from the source, both gccs I was using
(4.8.1 and 7.5.0) had chosen to compile compact_zone_order() with the
".cc = &cc" implemented by mov %rbx,-0xb0(%rbp) immediately before
callq compact_zone - long after the "current->capture_control =
&capc". An interrupt in between those finds capc->cc NULL (zeroed by
an earlier rep stos).This could presumably be fixed by a barrier() before setting
current->capture_control in compact_zone_order(); but would also need
more care on return from compact_zone(), in order not to risk leaking
a page captured by interrupt just before capture_control is reset.Maybe that is the preferable fix, but I felt safer for task_capc() to
exclude the rather surprising possibility of capture at interrupt
time"I have checked that gcc10 also behaves the same.
The advantage of fix in compact_zone_order() is that we don't add
another test in the page freeing hot path, and that it might prevent
future problems if we stop exposing pointers to uninitialized structures
in current task.So this patch implements the suggestion for compact_zone_order() with
barrier() (and WRITE_ONCE() to prevent store tearing) for setting
current->capture_control, and prevents page leaking with
WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE in the proper order.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200616082649.27173-1-vbabka@suse.cz

When called during boot the memmap_init_zone() function checks if each PFN
is valid and actually belongs to the node being initialized using
early_pfn_valid() and early_pfn_in_nid().Each such check may cost up to O(log(n)) where n is the number of memory
banks, so for large amount of memory overall time spent in early_pfn*()
becomes substantial.Since the information is anyway present in memblock, we can iterate over
memblock memory regions in memmap_init() and only call memmap_init_zone()
for PFN ranges that are know to be valid and in the appropriate node.[cai@lca.pw: fix a compilation warning from Clang]

The various struct pagevec per CPU variables are protected by disabling
either preemption or interrupts across the critical sections. Inside
these sections spinlocks have to be acquired.These spinlocks are regular spinlock_t types which are converted to
"sleeping" spinlocks on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Obviously sleeping
locks cannot be acquired in preemption or interrupt disabled sections.local locks provide a trivial way to substitute preempt and interrupt
disable instances. On a non PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel local_lock() maps
to preempt_disable() and local_lock_irq() to local_irq_disable().Create lru_rotate_pvecs containing the pagevec and the locallock.
Create lru_pvecs containing the remaining pagevecs and the locallock.
Add lru_add_drain_cpu_zone() which is used from compact_zone() to avoid
exporting the pvec structure.Change the relevant call sites to acquire these locks instead of using
preempt_disable() / get_cpu() / get_cpu_var() and local_irq_disable() /
local_irq_save().There is neither a functional change nor a change in the generated
binary code for non PREEMPT_RT enabled non-debug kernels.When lockdep is enabled local locks have lockdep maps embedded. These
allow lockdep to validate the protections, i.e. inappropriate usage of a
preemption only protected sections would result in a lockdep warning
while the same problem would not be noticed with a plain
preempt_disable() based protection.local locks also improve readability as they provide a named scope for
the protections while preempt/interrupt disable are opaque scopeless.Finally local locks allow PREEMPT_RT to substitute them with real
locking primitives to ensure the correctness of operation in a fully
preemptible kernel.[ bigeasy: Adopted to use local_lock ]

is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

try_to_compact_pages(capture = &page);
compact_zone_order(capture = capture);So let's remove the unnecessary check, which should also make Smatch happy.

The code to implement THP migrations already exists, and the code for CMA
to clear out a region of memory already exists.Only a few small tweaks are needed to allow CMA to move THP memory when
attempting an allocation from alloc_contig_range.With these changes, migrating THPs from a CMA area works when allocating a
1GB hugepage from CMA memory.[riel@surriel.com: fix hugetlbfs pages per Mike, cleanup per Vlastimil]

Florian and Dave reported [1] a NULL pointer dereference in
__reset_isolation_pfn(). While the exact cause is unclear, staring at
the code revealed two bugs, which might be related.One bug is that if zone starts in the middle of pageblock, block_page
might correspond to different pfn than block_pfn, and then the
pfn_valid_within() checks will check different pfn's than those accessed
via struct page. This might result in acessing an unitialized page in
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configs.The other bug is that end_page refers to the first page of next
pageblock and not last page of current pageblock. The online and valid
check is then wrong and with sections, the while (page < end_page) loop
might wander off actual struct page arrays.[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/87o8z1fvqu.fsf@mid.deneb.enyo.de/

"howaboutsynergy" reported via kernel buzilla number 204165 that
compact_zone_order was consuming 100% CPU during a stress test for
prolonged periods of time. Specifically the following command, which
should exit in 10 seconds, was taking an excessive time to finish while
the CPU was pegged at 100%.stress -m 220 --vm-bytes 1000000000 --timeout 10
Tracing indicated a pattern as follows

isolating nothing. The problem is that when a task that is compacting
receives a fatal signal, it retries indefinitely instead of exiting
while making no progress as a fatal signal is pending.It's not easy to trigger this condition although enabling zswap helps on
the basis that the timing is altered. A very small window has to be hit
for the problem to occur (signal delivered while compacting and
isolating a PFN for migration that is not aligned to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX).This was reproduced locally -- 16G single socket system, 8G swap, 30%
zswap configured, vm-bytes 22000000000 using Colin Kings stress-ng
implementation from github running in a loop until the problem hits).
Tracing recorded the problem occurring almost 200K times in a short
window. With this patch, the problem hit 4 times but the task existed
normally instead of consuming CPU.This problem has existed for some time but it was made worse by commit
cf66f0700c8f ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as
contention"). Before that commit, if the same condition was hit then
locks would be quickly contended and compaction would exit that way.Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204165

When we have holes in a normal memory zone, we could endup having
cached_migrate_pfns which may not necessarily be valid, under heavy memory
pressure with swapping enabled ( via __reset_isolation_suitable(),
triggered by kswapd).Later if we fail to find a page via fast_isolate_freepages(), we may end
up using the migrate_pfn we started the search with, as valid page. This
could lead to accessing NULL pointer derefernces like below, due to an
invalid mem_section pointer.Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008 [47/1825]

("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock
skip hints"). When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the
boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock.
Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section
or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated.A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being
improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation
avoidance in the long-term one page at a time.A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside
of a pageblock which is not intended. While syzbot cannot be used to
verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer
triggers with this patch applied. It has also been confirmed that the THP
allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190510182124.GI18914@techsingularity.net

what pageblocks to clear skip hints"). The problem is that the patch in
question was sloppy with respect to the handling of zone boundaries. In
some instances, it was possible for PFNs outside of a zone to be examined
and if those were not properly initialised or poisoned then it would
trigger the VM_BUG_ON. This patch corrects the zone boundary issues when
resetting pageblock skip hints and Mikhail reported that the bug did not
trigger after 30 hours of testing.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190327085424.GL3189@techsingularity.net

too_many_isolated() in mm/compaction.c looks only at node state, so it
makes more sense to change argument to pgdat instead of zone.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190228083329.31892-3-aryabinin@virtuozzo.com

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lockRemove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things. Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.[aryabinin@virtuozzo.com: a slightly better version of __split_huge_page()]

Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1

closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%
even when under pressure and compaction gets harder5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1

Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes
enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is
cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets
with no free pages. As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare
and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more
expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit.
Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned
unnecessarily on x86-64.The impact is variable with different workloads showing small
differences in latency, success rates and scan rates. This is expected
as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of
work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is
generally a good thing.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190118175136.31341-22-mgorman@techsingularity.net
