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 3618
These 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 818223
This 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.

Ying Han reported that backing aging of anon pages in no swap system
causes unnecessary TLB flush.
When I sent a patch(69c8548175), I wanted this patch but Rik pointed out
and allowed aging of anon pages to give a chance to promote from inactive
to active LRU.
It has a two problem.
1) non-swap system
Never make sense to age anon pages.
2) swap configured but still doesn't swapon
It doesn't make sense to age anon pages until swap-on time. But it's
arguable. If we have aged anon pages by swapon, VM have moved anon pages
from active to inactive. And in the time swapon by admin, the VM can't
reclaim hot pages so we can protect hot pages swapout.
But let's think about it. When does swap-on happen? It depends on admin.
we can't expect it. Nonetheless, we have done aging of anon pages to
protect hot pages swapout. It means we lost run time overhead when below
high watermark but gain hot page swap-[in/out] overhead when VM decide
swapout. Is it true? Let's think more detail. We don't promote anon
pages in case of non-swap system. So even though VM does aging of anon
pages, the pages would be in inactive LRU for a long time. It means many
of pages in there would mark access bit again. So access bit hot/code
separation would be pointless.
This patch prevents unnecessary anon pages demotion in not-yet-swapon and
non-configured swap system. Even, in non-configuared swap system
inactive_anon_is_low can be compiled out.
It could make side effect that hot anon pages could swap out when admin
does swap on. But I think sooner or later it would be steady state. So
it's not a big problem.
We could lose someting but gain more thing(TLB flush and unnecessary
function call to demote anon pages).

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.

Presently update_nr_listpages() doesn't have a role. That's because lists
passed is always empty just after calling migrate_pages. The
migrate_pages cleans up page list which have failed to migrate before
returning by aaa994b3.
[PATCH] page migration: handle freeing of pages in migrate_pages()
Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages(). Seems that we will
not need any postprocessing of pages. This will simplify the handling of
pages by the callers of migrate_pages().
At that time, we thought we don't need any postprocessing of pages. But
the situation is changed. The compaction need to know the number of
failed to migrate for COMPACTPAGEFAILED stat
This patch makes new rule for caller of migrate_pages to call
putback_lru_pages. So caller need to clean up the lists so it has a
chance to postprocess the pages. [suggested by Christoph Lameter]

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(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.

It's necessary to kill all threads that share an oom killed task's mm if
the goal is to lead to future memory freeing.
This patch reintroduces the code removed in 8c5cd6f3 (oom: oom_kill
doesn't kill vfork parent (or child)) since it is obsoleted.
It's now guaranteed that any task passed to oom_kill_task() does not share
an mm with any thread that is unkillable. Thus, we're safe to issue a
SIGKILL to any thread sharing the same mm.
This is especially necessary to solve an mm->mmap_sem livelock issue
whereas an oom killed thread must acquire the lock in the exit path while
another thread is holding it in the page allocator while trying to
allocate memory itself (and will preempt the oom killer since a task was
already killed). Since tasks with pending fatal signals are now granted
access to memory reserves, the thread holding the lock may quickly
allocate and release the lock so that the oom killed task may exit.
This mainly is for threads that are cloned with CLONE_VM but not
CLONE_THREAD, so they are in a different thread group. Non-NPTL threads
exist in the wild and this change is necessary to prevent the livelock in
such cases. We care more about preventing the livelock than incurring the
additional tasklist in the oom killer when a task has been killed.
Systems that are sufficiently large to not want the tasklist scan in the
oom killer in the first place already have the option of enabling
/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task, which was designed specifically for
that purpose.
This code had existed in the oom killer for over eight years dating back
to the 2.4 kernel.

The oom killer's goal is to kill a memory-hogging task so that it may
exit, free its memory, and allow the current context to allocate the
memory that triggered it in the first place. Thus, killing a task is
pointless if other threads sharing its mm cannot be killed because of its
/proc/pid/oom_adj or /proc/pid/oom_score_adj value.
This patch checks whether any other thread sharing p->mm has an
oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. If so, the thread cannot be killed
and oom_badness(p) returns 0, meaning it's unkillable.

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.

The linker script cleanup that I did in commit 5d150a97f9 ("um: Clean up
linker script using standard macros.") (2.6.32) accidentally introduced an
ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE) when converting to use INIT_TEXT_SECTION; Richard
Weinberger reported that this causes the kernel to segfault with
CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y.
I'm not certain why this extra alignment is a problem, but it seems likely
it is because previously
__init_begin = _stext = _text = _sinittext
and with the extra ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE), _sinittext becomes different from the
rest. So there is likely a bug here where something is assuming that
_sinittext is the same as one of those other symbols. But reverting the
accidental change fixes the regression, so it seems worth committing that
now.

There is a bug in commit 6dda9d55 ("page allocator: reduce fragmentation
in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the
free lists") that means a buddy at order MAX_ORDER is checked for merging.
A page of this order never exists so at times, an effectively random
piece of memory is being checked.
Alan Curry has reported that this is causing memory corruption in
userspace data on a PPC32 platform (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/9/32).
It is not clear why this is happening. It could be a cache coherency
problem where pages mapped in both user and kernel space are getting
different cache lines due to the bad read from kernel space
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/13/179). It could also be that there are
some special registers being io-remapped at the end of the memmap array
and that a read has special meaning on them. Compiler bugs have been
ruled out because the assembly before and after the patch looks relatively
harmless.
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring we are not reading a possibly
invalid location of memory. It's not clear why the read causes corruption
but one way or the other it is a buggy read.

Request that allocate_resource() use available space from high addresses
first, rather than the default of using low addresses first.
The most common place this makes a difference is when we move or assign

better to use high addresses when possible. This follows Windows practice

0000:00 given these resources:
[mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
[mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02
the available space at [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] is passed to the
alignment callback (pcibios_align_resource()). Prior to this patch, we
would put the new 0x800 byte resource at the beginning of that available
space, i.e., at [mem 0xbff00000-0xbff007ff].
With this patch, we put it at the end, at [mem 0xbffff800-0xbfffffff].

Allocate space from the highest-address PCI bus resource first, then work
downward.
Previously, we looked for space in PCI host bridge windows in the order
we discovered the windows. For example, given the following windows
(discovered via an ACPI _CRS method):
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0x000a0000-0x000bffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0x000c0000-0x000effff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0x000f0000-0x000fffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xff980000-0xff980fff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xff97c000-0xff97ffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xfed20000-0xfed9ffff]
we attempted to allocate from [mem 0x000a0000-0x000bffff] first, then
[mem 0x000c0000-0x000effff], and so on.
With this patch, we allocate from [mem 0xff980000-0xff980fff] first, then
[mem 0xff97c000-0xff97ffff], [mem 0xfed20000-0xfed9ffff], etc.
Allocating top-down follows Windows practice, so we're less likely to
trip over BIOS defects in the _CRS description.
On the machine above (a Dell T3500), the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] region
doesn't actually work and is likely a BIOS defect. The symptom is that we
move the AHCI controller to 0xbff00000, which leads to "Boot has failed,
sleeping forever," a BUG in ahci_stop_engine(), or some other boot failure.

Allocate space from the top of a region first, then work downward,
if an architecture desires this.
When we allocate space from a resource, we look for gaps between children
of the resource. Previously, we always looked at gaps from the bottom up.
For example, given this:
[mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
[mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap -- available
[mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap -- available
we attempted to allocate from the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap first,
then the [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap.
With this patch an architecture can choose to allocate from the top gap
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] first.
We can't do this across the board because iomem_resource.end is initialized
to 0xffffffff_ffffffff on 64-bit architectures, and most machines can't
address the entire 64-bit physical address space. Therefore, we only
allocate top-down if the arch requests it by clearing
"resource_alloc_from_bottom".

If tmp.start is near ~0, ALIGN(tmp.start) may overflow, which would
make us think there's more available space than there really is. We
would likely return something that conflicts with a previous resource,
which would cause a failure when allocate_resource() requests the newly-
allocated region.

The alignment callback returns a proposed location, which may have been
adjusted to avoid ISA aliases or for other architecture-specific reasons.
We already had a check ("tmp.start < tmp.end") to make sure the callback
doesn't return an area that extends past the available area. This patch
reworks the check to make sure it doesn't return an area that extends
either below or above the available area.

There is a bug in the interaction between ipv6_create_tempaddr and
addrconf_verify. Because ipv6_create_tempaddr uses the cstamp and tstamp
from the public address in creating a private address, if we have not
received a router advertisement in a while, tstamp + temp_valid_lft might be
< now. If this happens, the new address is created inside
ipv6_create_tempaddr, then the loop within addrconf_verify starts again and
the address is immediately deleted. We are left with no temporary addresses
on the interface, and no more will be created until the public IP address is
updated. To avoid this, set the expiry time to be the minimum of the time
left on the public address or the config option PLUS the current age of the
public interface.
