mm: page_alloc: hide some GFP internals and document the bits and flag combinations
Andrew stated the following We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags. I tend to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the interface. And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff? This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate some fixes and avoid future mistakes.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo
It turns out that at least some versions of glibc end up reading /proc/meminfo at every single startup, because glibc wants to know the amount of memory the machine has. And while that's arguably insane, it's just how things are. And it turns out that it's not all that expensive most of the time, but the vmalloc information statistics (amount of virtual memory used in the vmalloc space, and the biggest remaining chunk) can be rather expensive to compute. The 'get_vmalloc_info()' function actually showed up on my profiles as 4% of the CPU usage of "make test" in the git source repository, because the git tests are lots of very short-lived shell-scripts etc. It turns out that apparently this same silly vmalloc info gathering shows up on the facebook servers too, according to Dave Jones. So it's not just "make test" for git. We had two patches to just cache the information (one by me, one by Ingo) to mitigate this issue, but the whole vmalloc information of of rather dubious value to begin with, and people who *actually* want to know what the situation is wrt the vmalloc area should just look at the much more complete /proc/vmallocinfo instead. In fact, according to my testing - and perhaps more importantly, according to that big search engine in the sky: Google - there is nothing out there that actually cares about those two expensive fields: VmallocUsed and VmallocChunk. So let's try to just remove them entirely. Actually, this just removes the computation and reports the numbers as zero for now, just to try to be minimally intrusive. If this breaks anything, we'll obviously have to re-introduce the code to compute this all and add the caching patches on top. But if given the option, I'd really prefer to just remove this bad idea entirely rather than add even more code to work around our historical mistake that likely nobody really cares about.

mm/vmalloc: get rid of dirty bitmap inside vmap_block structure
In original implementation of vm_map_ram made by Nick Piggin there were
two bitmaps: alloc_map and dirty_map. None of them were used as supposed
to be: finding a suitable free hole for next allocation in block.
vm_map_ram allocates space sequentially in block and on free call marks
pages as dirty, so freed space can't be reused anymore.
Actually it would be very interesting to know the real meaning of those
bitmaps, maybe implementation was incomplete, etc.
But long time ago Zhang Yanfei removed alloc_map by these two commits:

mm/vmalloc: occupy newly allocated vmap block just after allocation
Previous implementation allocates new vmap block and repeats search of a free block from the very beginning, iterating over the CPU free list. Why it can be better?? 1. Allocation can happen on one CPU, but search can be done on another CPU. In worst case we preallocate amount of vmap blocks which is equal to CPU number on the system. 2. In previous patch I added newly allocated block to the tail of free list to avoid soon exhaustion of virtual space and give a chance to occupy blocks which were allocated long time ago. Thus to find newly allocated block all the search sequence should be repeated, seems it is not efficient. In this patch newly allocated block is occupied right away, address of virtual space is returned to the caller, so there is no any need to repeat the search sequence, allocation job is done.

mm/vmalloc: fix possible exhaustion of vmalloc space caused by vm_map_ram allocator
Recently I came across high fragmentation of vm_map_ram allocator:
vmap_block has free space, but still new blocks continue to appear.
Further investigation showed that certain mapping/unmapping sequences
can exhaust vmalloc space. On small 32bit systems that's not a big
problem, cause purging will be called soon on a first allocation failure
(alloc_vmap_area), but on 64bit machines, e.g. x86_64 has 45 bits of
vmalloc space, that can be a disaster.
1) I came up with a simple allocation sequence, which exhausts virtual
space very quickly:
while (iters) {
/* Map/unmap big chunk */
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16);
/* Map/unmap small chunks.
*
* -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block
* to keep it partially used, with some free space available */
for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8);
}
}
The idea behind is simple:
1. We have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages.
2. Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller chunks, i.e.
8 pages. At the end small hole should remain to keep block in free list,
but do not let big chunk to occupy remaining space.
3. Goto 1 - allocation request of 16 pages can't be completed (only 8 slots
are left free in the block in the #2 step), new block will be allocated,
all further requests will lay into newly allocated block.
To have some measurement numbers for all further tests I setup ftrace and
enabled 4 basic calls in a function profile:
echo vm_map_ram > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo alloc_vmap_area >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo vm_unmap_ram >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
echo free_vmap_block >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
So for this scenario I got these results:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 126000 30683.30 us 0.243 us 30819.36 us
vm_unmap_ram 126000 22003.24 us 0.174 us 340.886 us
alloc_vmap_area 1000 4132.065 us 4.132 us 0.903 us
AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 126000 28713.13 us 0.227 us 24944.70 us
vm_unmap_ram 126000 20403.96 us 0.161 us 1429.872 us
alloc_vmap_area 993 3916.795 us 3.944 us 29.370 us
free_vmap_block 992 654.157 us 0.659 us 1.273 us
SUMMARY:
The most interesting numbers in those tables are numbers of block
allocations and deallocations: alloc_vmap_area and free_vmap_block
calls, which show that before the change blocks were not freed, and
virtual space and physical memory (vmap_block structure allocations,
etc) were consumed.
Average time which were spent in vm_map_ram/vm_unmap_ram became slightly
better. That can be explained with a reasonable amount of blocks in a
free list, which we need to iterate to find a suitable free block.
2) Another scenario is a random allocation:
while (iters) {
/* Randomly take number from a range [1..32/64] */
nr = rand(1, VMAP_MAX_ALLOC);
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, nr, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, nr);
}
I chose mersenne twister PRNG to generate persistent random state to
guarantee that both runs have the same random sequence. For each
vm_map_ram call random number from [1..32/64] was taken to represent
amount of pages which I do map.
I did 10'000 vm_map_ram calls and got these two tables:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 10000 10170.01 us 1.017 us 993.609 us
vm_unmap_ram 10000 5321.823 us 0.532 us 59.789 us
alloc_vmap_area 420 2150.239 us 5.119 us 3.307 us
free_vmap_block 37 159.587 us 4.313 us 134.344 us
AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 10000 7745.637 us 0.774 us 395.229 us
vm_unmap_ram 10000 5460.573 us 0.546 us 67.187 us
alloc_vmap_area 414 2201.650 us 5.317 us 5.591 us
free_vmap_block 412 574.421 us 1.394 us 15.138 us
SUMMARY:
'BEFORE' table shows, that 420 blocks were allocated and only 37 were
freed. Remained 383 blocks are still in a free list, consuming virtual
space and physical memory.
'AFTER' table shows, that 414 blocks were allocated and 412 were really
freed. 2 blocks remained in a free list.
So fragmentation was dramatically reduced. Why? Because when we put
newly allocated block to the head, all further requests will occupy new
block, regardless remained space in other blocks. In this scenario all
requests come randomly. Eventually remained free space will be less
than requested size, free list will be iterated and it is possible that
nothing will be found there - finally new block will be created. So
exhaustion in random scenario happens for the maximum possible
allocation size: 32 pages for 32-bit system and 64 pages for 64-bit
system.
Also average cost of vm_map_ram was reduced from 1.017 us to 0.774 us.
Again this can be explained by iteration through smaller list of free
blocks.
3) Next simple scenario is a sequential allocation, when the allocation
order is increased for each block. This scenario forces allocator to
reach maximum amount of partially free blocks in a free list:
while (iters) {
/* Populate free list with blocks with remaining space */
for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
nr = VMAP_BBMAP_BITS / (1 << order);
/* Leave a hole */
nr -= 1;
for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
}
/* Completely occupy blocks from a free list */
for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
}
}
Results which I got:
BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 2032000 399545.2 us 0.196 us 467123.7 us
vm_unmap_ram 2032000 363225.7 us 0.178 us 111405.9 us
alloc_vmap_area 7001 30627.76 us 4.374 us 495.755 us
free_vmap_block 6993 7011.685 us 1.002 us 159.090 us
AFTER (all new blocks are put to the tail of a free list)
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
Function Hit Time Avg s^2
-------- --- ---- --- ---
vm_map_ram 2032000 394259.7 us 0.194 us 589395.9 us

alloc_vmap_area 7000 31103.11 us 4.443 us 703.225 us
free_vmap_block 7000 6750.844 us 0.964 us 119.112 us
SUMMARY:
No surprises here, almost all numbers are the same.
Fixing this fragmentation problem I also did some improvements in a
allocation logic of a new vmap block: occupy block immediately and get
rid of extra search in a free list.
Also I replaced dirty bitmap with min/max dirty range values to make the
logic simpler and slightly faster, since two longs comparison costs
less, than loop thru bitmap.
This patchset raises several questions:
Q: Think the problem you comments is already known so that I wrote comments
about it as "it could consume lots of address space through fragmentation".
Could you tell me about your situation and reason why it should be avoided?

mm: change __get_vm_area_node() to use fls_long()
ioremap() and its related interfaces are used to create I/O mappings to memory-mapped I/O devices. The mapping sizes of the traditional I/O devices are relatively small. Non-volatile memory (NVM), however, has many GB and is going to have TB soon. It is not very efficient to create large I/O mappings with 4KB. This patchset extends the ioremap() interfaces to transparently create I/O mappings with huge pages whenever possible. ioremap() continues to use 4KB mappings when a huge page does not fit into a requested range. There is no change necessary to the drivers using ioremap(). A requested physical address must be aligned by a huge page size (1GB or 2MB on x86) for using huge page mapping, though. The kernel huge I/O mapping will improve performance of NVM and other devices with large memory, and reduce the time to create their mappings as well. On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page, which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on the PAT memory types. The patchset introduces HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which indicates that the arch supports huge KVA mappings for ioremap(). User may specify a new kernel option "nohugeiomap" to disable the huge I/O mapping capability of ioremap() when necessary. Patch 1-4 change common files to support huge I/O mappings. There is no change in the functinalities unless HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is defined on the architecture of the system. Patch 5-6 implement the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP funcs on x86, and set HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP on x86. This patch (of 6): __get_vm_area_node() takes unsigned long size, which is a 64-bit value on a 64-bit kernel. However, fls(size) simply ignores the upper 32-bit.

kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modules
Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken.
Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds it is no
longer used. vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its
freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it:
void vfree(const void *addr)
{
...
if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) {
struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred);
if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list))
schedule_work(&p->wq);
Later this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory.
Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free shadow
before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel crash.
So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory. However, such
deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc() in module_alloc().
Free shadow right before releasing vm area. At this point vfree()'d
memory is not used anymore and yet not available for other allocations.
New VM_KASAN flag used to indicate that vm area has dynamically allocated
shadow memory so kasan frees shadow only if it was previously allocated.

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory for modules. So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address allocated in module_alloc(). __vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a guard hole after allocated area. Guard hole in shadow memory should be a problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow for module_alloc(). Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into __vmalloc_node_range().

mm/vmalloc.c: use seq_open_private() instead of seq_open()
Using seq_open_private() removes boilerplate code from vmalloc_open(). The resultant code is shorter and easier to follow. However, please note that seq_open_private() call kzalloc() rather than kmalloc() which may affect timing due to the memory initialisation overhead.

mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argument
Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument, and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages + nr_mappped_pages). It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area(). The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether map_vm_area() fails or not. This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates its callers accordingly.

mm, vmalloc: constify allocation mask
tmp_mask in the __vmalloc_area_node() iteration never changes so it can be moved into function scope and marked with const. This causes the movl and orl to only be done once per call rather than area->nr_pages times. nested_gfp can also be marked const.

mm/vmalloc.c: add a schedule point to vmalloc()
It is not uncommon on busy servers to get stuck hundred of ms in vmalloc() calls (like file descriptor expansions). Add a cond_resched() to __vmalloc_area_node() to be gentle to other tasks.

vmalloc: use rcu list iterator to reduce vmap_area_lock contention
Richard Yao reported a month ago that his system have a trouble with
vmap_area_lock contention during performance analysis by /proc/meminfo.
Andrew asked why his analysis checks /proc/meminfo stressfully, but he
didn't answer it.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/10/416
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

mm/vmalloc.c: export unmap_kernel_range()
zsmalloc needs exported unmap_kernel_range for building as a module. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/18/487 I didn't send a patch to make unmap_kernel_range exportable at that time because zram was staging stuff and I thought VM function exporting for staging stuff makes no sense. Now zsmalloc was promoted. If we can't build zsmalloc as module, it means we can't build zram as module, either. Additionally, buddy map_vm_area is already exported so let's export unmap_kernel_range to help his buddy.

mm/vmalloc.c: enhance vm_map_ram() comment
vm_map_ram() has a fragmentation problem when it cannot purge a chunk(ie, 4M address space) if there is a pinning object in that addresss space. So it could consume all VMALLOC address space easily. We can fix the fragmentation problem by using vmap instead of vm_map_ram() but vmap() is known to be slow compared to vm_map_ram(). Minchan said vm_map_ram is 5 times faster than vmap in his tests. So I thought we should fix fragment problem of vm_map_ram because our proprietary GPU driver has used it heavily. On second thought, it's not an easy because we should reuse freed space for solving the problem and it could make more IPI and bitmap operation for searching hole. It could mitigate API's goal which is very fast mapping. And even fragmentation problem wouldn't show in 64 bit machine. Another option is that the user should separate long-life and short-life object and use vmap for long-life but vm_map_ram for short-life. If we inform the user about the characteristic of vm_map_ram the user can choose one according to the page lifetime. Let's add some notice messages to user.
