The solution\nwas to preserve a property in the buddy allocator which tended to keep the\nminimum number of free pages in the zone at the lower physical addresses\nand contiguous. To preserve this property, MIGRATE_RESERVE was introduced\nand a number of pageblocks at the start of a zone would be marked\n\"reserve\", the number of which depended on min_free_kbytes.\n\nAnti-fragmentation works by avoiding the mixing of page migratetypes\nwithin the same pageblock. One way of helping this is to increase\nmin_free_kbytes because it becomes less like that it will be necessary to\nplace pages of of MIGRATE_RESERVE is unbounded, the free memory is kept\nthere in large contiguous blocks instead of helping anti-fragmentation as\nmuch as it should. With the page-allocator tracepoint patches applied, it\nwas found during anti-fragmentation tests that the number of\nfragmentation-related events were far higher than expected even with\nmin_free_kbytes at higher values.\n\nThis patch limits the number of MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks that exist per zone\nto two. For example, with a sufficient min_free_kbytes, 4MB of memory\nwill be kept aside on an x86-64 and remain more or less free and\ncontiguous for the systems uptime. This should be sufficient for devices\ndepending on high-order atomic allocations while helping fragmentation\ncontrol when min_free_kbytes is tuned appropriately. As side-effect of\nthis patch is that the reserve variable is converted to int as unsigned\nlong was the wrong type to use when ensuring that only the required number\nof reserve blocks are created.\n\nWith the patches applied, fragmentation-related events as measured by the\npage allocator tracepoints were significantly reduced when running some\nfragmentation stress-tests on systems with min_free_kbytes tuned to a\nvalue appropriate for hugepage allocations at runtime. On x86, the events\nrecorded were reduced by 99.8%, on x86-64 by 99.72% and on ppc64 by\n99.83%.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc:

This information can be used\nto help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether\nmin_free_kbytes should be increased or not.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nAcked-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nReviewed-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Larry Woodman \u003clwoodman@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003cpeterz@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: Li Ming Chun \u003cmacli@brc.ubc.ca\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "4b4f278c030aa4b6ee0915f396e9a9478d92d610", "tree": "10825c2d197977bc9080093a6ecbd3ce80723876", "parents": [ "38a398572fa2d8124f7479e40db581b5b72719c9" ], "author": { "name": "Mel Gorman", "email": "mel@csn.ul.ie", "time": "Mon Sep 21 17:02:41 2009 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Sep 22 07:17:34 2009 -0700" }, "message": "tracing, page-allocator: add trace events for page allocation and page freeing\n\nThis patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages,\nincluding the freeing of pagevecs.

Whereas the \"ksm: fix oom\ndeadlock\" patch, knowing there\u0027s a race by which KSM might try to fault\nin pages after exit_mmap() had finally zapped the range, backs out of\nsuch faults doing nothing when its ksm_test_exit() notices mm_users 0.\n\nSo revert that part of \"ksm: fix oom deadlock\" which moved the\nksm_exit() call from before exit_mmap() to the middle of exit_mmap();\nand remove those ksm_test_exit() checks from the page fault paths, so\nallowing the munlocking to proceed without interference.\n\nksm_exit, if there are rmap_items still chained on this mm slot, takes\nmmap_sem write side: so preventing KSM from working on an mm while\nexit_mmap runs.

When unmerging KSM (echo 2 \u003e/sys/kernel/mm/ksm), and even\nwhen ksmd itself has to cancel a KSM page, it is possible that the\nfirst OOM-kill victim would be the KSM process being faulted: then its\nmemory won\u0027t be freed until a second victim has been selected (freeing\nmemory for the unmerging fault to complete).\n\nBut the OOM killer is already liable to kill a second victim once the\nintended victim\u0027s p-\u003emm goes to NULL: so there\u0027s not much point in\nrejecting this KSM patch before fixing that OOM behaviour.

And bumping mm_users won\u0027t\nhelp at all, that just ensures that the pages the OOM killer assumes\nare on their way to being freed will not be freed.\n\nThe best answer seems to be, to move the ksm_exit callout from just\nbefore exit_mmap, to the middle of exit_mmap: after the mm\u0027s pages\nhave been freed (if the mmu_gather is flushed), but before its page\ntables and vma structures have been freed; and down_write,up_write\nmmap_sem there to serialize with KSM\u0027s own reliance on mmap_sem.\n\nBut KSM then needs to be careful, whenever it downs mmap_sem, to\ncheck that the mm is not already exiting: there\u0027s a danger of using\nfind_vma on a layout that\u0027s being torn apart, or writing into page\ntables which have been freed for reuse; and even do_anonymous_page\nand __do_fault need to check they\u0027re not being called by break_ksm\nto reinstate a pte after zap_pte_range has zapped that page table.\n\nThough it might be clearer to add an exiting flag, set while holding\nmmap_sem in __ksm_exit, that wouldn\u0027t cover the issue of reinstating\na zapped pte. All we need is to check whether mm_users is 0 - but\nmust remember that ksmd may detect that before __ksm_exit is reached.\nSo, ksm_test_exit(mm) added to comment such checks on mm-\u003emm_users.\n\n__ksm_exit now has to leave clearing up the rmap_items to ksmd,\nthat needs ksm_thread_mutex; but shift the exiting mm just after the\nksm_scan cursor so that it will soon be dealt with. __ksm_enter raise\nmm_count to hold the mm_struct, ksmd\u0027s exit processing (exactly like\nits processing when it finds all VM_MERGEABLEs unmapped) mmdrop it,\nsimilar procedure for KSM_RUN_UNMERGE (which has stopped ksmd).\n\nBut also give __ksm_exit a fast path: when there\u0027s no complication\n(no rmap_items attached to mm and it\u0027s not at the ksm_scan cursor),\nit can safely do all the exiting work itself.
