mm: page_alloc: reduce cost of the fair zone allocation policy
The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones
within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim. If the
first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt
made before entering the slow path.
One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly
the same time and the resets each time are justified. This assumption
does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will
be consumed at uneven rates. Allocation failure due to watermark
depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another
watermark check before hitting the slowpath.
On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%. On 4-socket NUMA
machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with
the vmstat changes. The system CPU overhead comparison looks like

mm: page_alloc: abort fair zone allocation policy when remotes nodes are encountered
The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for
use with 32-bit devices. If locality is preferred then the
numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used.
Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by
skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found. While this
makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the
expected zonelist policy. This patch restores the expected behaviour

mm: rearrange zone fields into read-only, page alloc, statistics and page reclaim lines
The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example
o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
allocation policy.
o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area
o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
line on a stat update
This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.
On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the

The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.
This series is what's left. It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general. tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.

sysfses which have same memory range are created as follows:
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/0/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000

# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/33/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000
System RAM
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/35/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000

In this case, when hot-removing memory, kernel panic occurs, showing
following call trace:
When calling e820_reserve_resources(), firmware_map_entrys of all e820
memory map are allocated. And all firmware_map_entrys is added
map_entries list as follows:
map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ...
| start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM |
+--------------------+
After that, if ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80 and the memory range is
limited by mem=, the PNP0C80 is hot-added. Then firmware_map_entry of
PNP0C80 is allocated and added map_entries list as follows:
map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ... -> +--- entry B --------+
| start 0x407ffffffff| | start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000| | end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM | | type System RAM |
+--------------------+ +--------------------+
Then memmap 0 sysfs for entry B is created.
After that, firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of all
firmware_map_entrys in map_entries list. As a result, memmap 33 sysfs
for entry A and memmap 35 sysfs for entry B are created. But kobject of
entry B has been used by memmap 0 sysfs. So when creating memmap 35
sysfs, the kobject is broken.
If hot-removing memory, memmap 0 sysfs is destroyed and kobject of
memmap 0 sysfs is freed. But the kobject can be accessed via memmap 35
sysfs. So when open memmap 35 sysfs, kernel panic occurs.
This patch checks whether there is firmware_map_entry of same memory
range in map_entries list and don't allocate firmware_map_entry of same
memroy range.

shrink_zones() has a special branch to skip the all_unreclaimable()
check during hibernation, because a frozen kswapd can't mark a zone
unreclaimable.
But ever since commit 6e543d5780e3 ("mm: vmscan: fix

unreclaimable is done by directly looking at its scan history and no

highmem if CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is not set. In online_pages,
it extracts pages from the previous zone before ZONE_MOVABLE. Which is
logically inconsistent:
If HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is turned off but HIGHMEM is on,
zone_movable_is_highmem() makes movable zone not highmem, but
online_pages() extracts pages from ZONE_HIGHMEM.
This inconsistency doesn't cause real problem currently, because all

Although I'm not sure that this is right usage or not, there is a
solution reducing vmap_area_lock contention with no side-effect. That
is just to use rcu list iterator in get_vmalloc_info().
rcu can be used in this function because all RCU protocol is already
respected by writers, since Nick Piggin commit db64fe02258f1 ("mm:
rewrite vmap layer") back in linux-2.6.28
Specifically :
insertions use list_add_rcu(),
deletions use list_del_rcu() and kfree_rcu().
Note the rb tree is not used from rcu reader (it would not be safe),
only the vmap_area_list has full RCU protection.
Note that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() already uses this rcu protection.
: While rcu list traversal over the vmap_area_list is safe, this may
: arrive at different results than the spinlocked version. The rcu list
: traversal version will not be a 'snapshot' of a single, valid instant
: of the entire vmap_area_list, but rather a potential amalgam of
: different list states.
Joonsoo:
: Yes, you are right, but I don't think that we should be strict here.
: Meminfo is already not a 'snapshot' at specific time. While we try to get
: certain stats, the other stats can change. And, although we may arrive at

to be indented another tab.
Also these days the fashion is to line function parameters up, and it
looks nicer that way because then the "freelist_new" is not at the same
indent level as the "return 1;".

slab: add unlikely macro to help compiler
This patchset does some cleanup and tries to remove lockdep annotation.
Patches 1~2 are just for really really minor improvement.
Patches 3~9 are for clean-up and removing lockdep annotation.
There are two cases that lockdep annotation is needed in SLAB.
1) holding two node locks
2) holding two array cache(alien cache) locks
I looked at the code and found that we can avoid these cases without any
negative effect.
1) occurs if freeing object makes new free slab and we decide to
destroy it. Although we don't need to hold the lock during destroying
a slab, current code do that. Destroying a slab without holding the
lock would help the reduction of the lock contention. To do it, I
change the implementation that new free slab is destroyed after
releasing the lock.
2) occurs on similar situation. When we free object from non-local
node, we put this object to alien cache with holding the alien cache
lock. If alien cache is full, we try to flush alien cache to proper
node cache, and, in this time, new free slab could be made. Destroying
it would be started and we will free metadata object which comes from
another node. In this case, we need another node's alien cache lock to
free object. This forces us to hold two array cache locks and then we
need lockdep annotation although they are always different locks and
deadlock cannot be possible. To prevent this situation, I use same way
as 1).
In this way, we can avoid 1) and 2) cases, and then, can remove lockdep
annotation. As short stat noted, this makes SLAB code much simpler.
This patch (of 9):
slab_should_failslab() is called on every allocation, so to optimize it
is reasonable. We normally don't allocate from kmem_cache. It is just
used when new kmem_cache is created, so it's very rare case. Therefore,
add unlikely macro to help compiler optimization.

mm: slub: SLUB_DEBUG=n: use the same alloc/free hooks as for SLUB_DEBUG=y
There are two versions of alloc/free hooks now - one for
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and another one for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n.
I see no reason why calls to other debugging subsystems (LOCKDEP,
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, KMEMCHECK and FAILSLAB) are hidden under SLUB_DEBUG.
All this features should work regardless of SLUB_DEBUG config, as all of
them already have own Kconfig options.
This also fixes failslab for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n configuration. It
simply has not worked before because should_failslab() call was in a
hook hidden under "#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG #else".
Note: There is one concealed change in allocation path for SLUB_DEBUG=n
and all other debugging features disabled. The might_sleep_if() call
can generate some code even if DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=n. For
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y might_sleep() inserts _cond_resched() call, but I
think it should be ok.

When umount is issued during recovery on the new master that has not
finished remastering locks, it triggers BUG() in
dlm_send_mig_lockres_msg(). Here is the situation:
1) node A has a lock on resource X mastered by node B.
2) node B dies -> node A sets recovering flag for res X
3) Node C becomes the new master for resources owned by the
dead node and is remastering locks of the dead node but
has not finished the remastering process yet.
4) umount is issued on node C.
5) During processing of umount, ignoring unfished recovery,
node C attempts to migrate resource X to node A.
6) node A finds res X in DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING state, considers
it a logic error and sends back -EFAULT.
7) node C asserts BUG() upon seeing EFAULT resp from node B.
Fix is to delay migrating res X till remastering is finished at which
point recovering flag will be cleared on both A and C.
