syzbot found issues with having hugetlbfs on a union/overlay as reported
in [1]. Due to the limitations (no write) and special functionality of
hugetlbfs, it does not work well in filesystem stacking. There are no
know use cases for hugetlbfs stacking. Rather than making modifications
to get hugetlbfs working in such environments, simply prevent stacking.

When the OOM killer finds a victim and tryies to kill it, if the victim is
already exiting, the task mm will be NULL and no process will be killed.
But the dump_header() has been already executed, so it will be strange to
dump so much information without killing a process. We'd better show some
helpful information to indicate why this happens.

There are at least two notes in the oom section. The 3% discount for root
processes is gone since d46078b28889 ("mm, oom: remove 3% bonus for
CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes").
Likewise children of the selected oom victim are not sacrificed since
bbbe48029720 ("mm, oom: remove 'prefer children over parent' heuristic")
Drop both of them.

Recently we found an issue on our production environment that when memcg
oom is triggered the oom killer doesn't chose the process with largest
resident memory but chose the first scanned process. Note that all
processes in this memcg have the same oom_score_adj, so the oom killer
should chose the process with largest resident memory.
Bellow is part of the oom info, which is enough to analyze this issue.

[7516988.092344] oom_reaper: reaped process 5740 (pause), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
We can find that the first scanned process 5740 (pause) was killed, but
its rss is only one page. That is because, when we calculate the oom
badness in oom_badness(), we always ignore the negtive point and convert
all of these negtive points to 1. Now as oom_score_adj of all the
processes in this targeted memcg have the same value -998, the points of
these processes are all negtive value. As a result, the first scanned
process will be killed.
The oom_socre_adj (-998) in this memcg is set by kubelet, because it is a
a Guaranteed pod, which has higher priority to prevent from being killed
by system oom.
To fix this issue, we should make the calculation of oom point more
accurate. We can achieve it by convert the chosen_point from 'unsigned
long' to 'long'.

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 <1 sec
for a 32G system. Such data suggests that a more proactive compaction can
help us allocate a large fraction of memory as hugepages keeping
allocation latencies low.
For a more proactive compaction, the approach taken here is to define a
new sysctl called 'vm.compaction_proactiveness' which dictates bounds for
external fragmentation which kcompactd tries to maintain.
The tunable takes a value in range [0, 100], with a default of 20.
Note that a previous version of this patch [1] was found to introduce too
many tunables (per-order extfrag{low, high}), but this one reduces them to
just one sysctl. Also, the new tunable is an opaque value instead of
asking for specific bounds of "external fragmentation", which would have
been difficult to estimate. The internal interpretation of this opaque
value allows for future fine-tuning.
Currently, we use a simple translation from this tunable to [low, high]
"fragmentation score" thresholds (low=100-proactiveness, high=low+10%).
The score for a node is defined as weighted mean of per-zone external
fragmentation. A zone's present_pages determines its weight.
To periodically check per-node score, we reuse per-node kcompactd threads,
which are woken up every 500 milliseconds to check the same. If a node's
score exceeds its high threshold (as derived from user-provided
proactiveness value), proactive compaction is started until its score
reaches its low threshold value. By default, proactiveness is set to 20,
which implies threshold values of low=80 and high=90.
This patch is largely based on ideas from Michal Hocko [2]. See also the
LWN article [3].
Performance data
================
System: x64_64, 1T RAM, 80 CPU threads.
Kernel: 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch
echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
Before starting the driver, the system was fragmented from a userspace
program that allocates all memory and then for each 2M aligned section,
frees 3/4 of base pages using munmap. The workload is mainly anonymous
userspace pages, which are easy to move around. I intentionally avoided
unmovable pages in this test to see how much latency we incur when
hugepage allocations hit direct compaction.
1. Kernel hugepage allocation latencies
With the system in such a fragmented state, a kernel driver then allocates
as many hugepages as possible and measures allocation latency:
(all latency values are in microseconds)
- With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3
percentile latency
–––––––––– –––––––
5 7894
10 9496
25 12561
30 15295

60 27556
75 30147
80 31047
90 32859
95 33799
Total 2M hugepages allocated = 383859 (749G worth of hugepages out of 762G
total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)
- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20
sysctl -w vm.compaction_proactiveness=20
percentile latency
–––––––––– –––––––

95 429
Total 2M hugepages allocated = 384105 (750G worth of hugepages out of 762G
total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)
2. JAVA heap allocation
In this test, we first fragment memory using the same method as for (1).
Then, we start a Java process with a heap size set to 700G and request the
heap to be allocated with THP hugepages. We also set THP to madvise to
allow hugepage backing of this heap.
/usr/bin/time
java -Xms700G -Xmx700G -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch
The above command allocates 700G of Java heap using hugepages.
- With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3
17.39user 1666.48system 27:37.89elapsed
- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20
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).

Now that workingset detection is implemented for anonymous LRU, we don't
need large inactive list to allow detecting frequently accessed pages
before they are reclaimed, anymore. This effectively reverts the

To prepare the workingset detection for anon LRU, this patch splits
workingset event counters for refault, activate and restore into anon and
file variants, as well as the refaults counter in struct lruvec.

In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on active list. Growing active list results in rebalancing
active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive
list. Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list. Numbers denote the number of
pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive).
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
This patch tries to fix this issue. Like as file LRU, newly created or
swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list. They are
promoted to active list if enough reference happens. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected.
Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be
promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the
size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive).
To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset
detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

Patch series "workingset protection/detection on the anonymous LRU list", v7.
* PROBLEM
In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on the active list. Growing the active list results in
rebalancing active/inactive list so old pages on the active list are
demoted to the inactive list. Hence, hot page on the active list isn't
protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list and system can contain total 100
pages. Numbers denote the number of pages on active/inactive list (active
| inactive). (h) stands for hot pages and (uo) stands for used-once
pages.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
As we can see, hot pages are swapped-out and it would cause swap-in later.
* SOLUTION
Since this is what we want to avoid, this patchset implements workingset
protection. Like as the file LRU list, newly created or swap-in anonymous
page is started on the inactive list. Also, like as the file LRU list, if
enough reference happens, the page will be promoted. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
hot pages remains in the active list. :)
* EXPERIMENT
I tested this scenario on my test bed and confirmed that this problem
happens on current implementation. I also checked that it is fixed by
this patchset.
* SUBJECT
workingset detection
* PROBLEM
Later part of the patchset implements the workingset detection for the
anonymous LRU list. There is a corner case that workingset protection
could cause thrashing. If we can avoid thrashing by workingset detection,
we can get the better performance.
Following is an example of thrashing due to the workingset protection.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)
4. workload: 50 (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh), swap-in 50(wh)
5. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)
6. repeat 4, 5
Without workingset detection, this kind of workload cannot be promoted and
thrashing happens forever.
* SOLUTION
Therefore, this patchset implements workingset detection. All the
infrastructure for workingset detecion is already implemented, so there is
not much work to do. First, extend workingset detection code to deal with
the anonymous LRU list. Then, make swap cache handles the exceptional
value for the shadow entry. Lastly, install/retrieve the shadow value
into/from the swap cache and check the refault distance.
* EXPERIMENT
I made a test program to imitates above scenario and confirmed that
problem exists. Then, I checked that this patchset fixes it.
My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus and 6100MB memory. But,
the amount of the memory that the test program can use is about 280 MB.
This is because the system uses large ram-backed swap and large ramdisk to
capture the trace.
Test scenario is like as below.
1. allocate cold memory (512MB)
2. allocate hot-1 memory (96MB)
3. activate hot-1 memory (96MB)
4. allocate another hot-2 memory (96MB)
5. access cold memory (128MB)
6. access hot-2 memory (96MB)
7. repeat 5, 6
Since hot-1 memory (96MB) is on the active list, the inactive list can
contains roughly 190MB pages. hot-2 memory's re-access interval (96+128
MB) is more 190MB, so it cannot be promoted without workingset detection
and swap-in/out happens repeatedly. With this patchset, workingset
detection works and promotion happens. Therefore, swap-in/out occurs
less.
Here is the result. (average of 5 runs)
type swap-in swap-out
base 863240 989945
patch 681565 809273
As we can see, patched kernel do less swap-in/out.
* OVERALL TEST (ebizzy using modified random function)
ebizzy is the test program that main thread allocates lots of memory and
child threads access them randomly during the given times. Swap-in will
happen if allocated memory is larger than the system memory.
The random function that represents the zipf distribution is used to make
hot/cold memory. Hot/cold ratio is controlled by the parameter. If the
parameter is high, hot memory is accessed much larger than cold one. If
the parameter is low, the number of access on each memory would be
similar. I uses various parameters in order to show the effect of
patchset on various hot/cold ratio workload.
My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus, 1024 MB memory and 5120 MB
ram swap.
Result format is as following.
param: 1-1024-0.1
- 1 (number of thread)
- 1024 (allocated memory size, MB)
- 0.1 (zipf distribution alpha,
0.1 works like as roughly uniform random,
1.3 works like as small portion of memory is hot and the others are cold)
pswpin: smaller is better
std: standard deviation
improvement: negative is better

As we can see, all the cases show improvement. Especially, test case with
zipf distribution 1.3 show more improvements. It means that if there is a
hot/cold tendency in anon pages, this patchset works better.
This patch (of 6):
Current implementation of LRU management for anonymous page has some
problems. Most important one is that it doesn't protect the workingset,
that is, pages on the active LRU list. Although, this problem will be
fixed in the following patchset, the preparation is required and this
patch does it.
What following patch does is to implement workingset protection. After
the following patchset, newly created or swap-in pages will start their
lifetime on the inactive list. If inactive list is too small, there is
not enough chance to be referenced and the page cannot become the
workingset.
In order to provide the newly anonymous or swap-in pages enough chance to
be referenced again, this patch makes active/inactive LRU ratio as 1:1.
This is just a temporary measure. Later patch in the series introduces
workingset detection for anonymous LRU that will be used to better decide
if pages should start on the active and inactive list. Afterwards this
patch is effectively reverted.

In the reservation routine, we only check whether the cpuset meets the
memory allocation requirements. But we ignore the mempolicy of MPOL_BIND
case. If someone mmap hugetlb succeeds, but the subsequent memory
allocation may fail due to mempolicy restrictions and receives the SIGBUS
signal. This can be reproduced by the follow steps.
1) Compile the test case.
cd tools/testing/selftests/vm/
gcc map_hugetlb.c -o map_hugetlb
2) Pre-allocate huge pages. Suppose there are 2 numa nodes in the
system. Each node will pre-allocate one huge page.
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
3) Run test case(mmap 4MB). We receive the SIGBUS signal.
numactl --membind=3D0 ./map_hugetlb 4
With this patch applied, the mmap will fail in the step 3) and throw
"mmap: Cannot allocate memory".

Memory cgroups are using large chunks of percpu memory to store vmstat
data. Yet this memory is not accounted at all, so in the case when there
are many (dying) cgroups, it's not exactly clear where all the memory is.
Because the size of memory cgroup internal structures can dramatically
exceed the size of object or page which is pinning it in the memory, it's
not a good idea to simply ignore it. It actually breaks the isolation
between cgroups.
Let's account the consumed percpu memory to the parent cgroup.

Percpu memory can represent a noticeable chunk of the total memory
consumption, especially on big machines with many CPUs. Let's track
percpu memory usage for each memcg and display it in memory.stat.
A percpu allocation is usually scattered over multiple pages (and nodes),
and can be significantly smaller than a page. So let's add a byte-sized
counter on the memcg level: MEMCG_PERCPU_B. Byte-sized vmstat infra
created for slabs can be perfectly reused for percpu case.

Percpu memory is becoming more and more widely used by various subsystems,
and the total amount of memory controlled by the percpu allocator can make
a good part of the total memory.
As an example, bpf maps can consume a lot of percpu memory, and they are
created by a user. Also, some cgroup internals (e.g. memory controller
statistics) can be quite large. On a machine with many CPUs and big
number of cgroups they can consume hundreds of megabytes.
So the lack of memcg accounting is creating a breach in the memory
isolation. Similar to the slab memory, percpu memory should be accounted
by default.
To implement the perpcu accounting it's possible to take the slab memory
accounting as a model to follow. Let's introduce two types of percpu
chunks: root and memcg. What makes memcg chunks different is an
additional space allocated to store memcg membership information. If
__GFP_ACCOUNT is passed on allocation, a memcg chunk should be be used.
If it's possible to charge the corresponding size to the target memory
cgroup, allocation is performed, and the memcg ownership data is recorded.
System-wide allocations are performed using root chunks, so there is no
additional memory overhead.
To implement a fast reparenting of percpu memory on memcg removal, we
don't store mem_cgroup pointers directly: instead we use obj_cgroup API,
introduced for slab accounting.

Patch series "mm: memcg accounting of percpu memory", v3.
This patchset adds percpu memory accounting to memory cgroups. It's based
on the rework of the slab controller and reuses concepts and features
introduced for the per-object slab accounting.
Percpu memory is becoming more and more widely used by various subsystems,
and the total amount of memory controlled by the percpu allocator can make
a good part of the total memory.
As an example, bpf maps can consume a lot of percpu memory, and they are
created by a user. Also, some cgroup internals (e.g. memory controller
statistics) can be quite large. On a machine with many CPUs and big
number of cgroups they can consume hundreds of megabytes.
So the lack of memcg accounting is creating a breach in the memory
isolation. Similar to the slab memory, percpu memory should be accounted
by default.
Percpu allocations by their nature are scattered over multiple pages, so
they can't be tracked on the per-page basis. So the per-object tracking
introduced by the new slab controller is reused.
The patchset implements charging of percpu allocations, adds memcg-level
statistics, enables accounting for percpu allocations made by memory
cgroup internals and provides some basic tests.
To implement the accounting of percpu memory without a significant memory
and performance overhead the following approach is used: all accounted
allocations are placed into a separate percpu chunk (or chunks). These
chunks are similar to default chunks, except that they do have an attached
vector of pointers to obj_cgroup objects, which is big enough to save a
pointer for each allocated object. On the allocation, if the allocation
has to be accounted (__GFP_ACCOUNT is passed, the allocating process
belongs to a non-root memory cgroup, etc), the memory cgroup is getting
charged and if the maximum limit is not exceeded the allocation is
performed using a memcg-aware chunk. Otherwise -ENOMEM is returned or the
allocation is forced over the limit, depending on gfp (as any other kernel
memory allocation). The memory cgroup information is saved in the
obj_cgroup vector at the corresponding offset. On the release time the
memcg information is restored from the vector and the cgroup is getting
uncharged. Unaccounted allocations (at this point the absolute majority
of all percpu allocations) are performed in the old way, so no additional
overhead is expected.
To avoid pinning dying memory cgroups by outstanding allocations,
obj_cgroup API is used instead of directly saving memory cgroup pointers.
obj_cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a standalone
reference counter. The trick is that it can be atomically swapped to
point at the parent cgroup, so that the original memory cgroup can be
released prior to all objects, which has been charged to it. Because all
charges and statistics are fully recursive, it's perfectly correct to
uncharge the parent cgroup instead. This scheme is used in the slab
memory accounting, and percpu memory can just follow the scheme.
This patch (of 5):
To implement accounting of percpu memory we need the information about the
size of freed object. Return it from pcpu_free_area().

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"New features:
- Introduce controlling how 'perf stat' and 'perf record' works via a
control file descriptor, allowing starting with events configured
but disabled until commands are received via the control file
descriptor. This allows, for instance for tools such as Intel VTune
to make further use of perf as its Linux platform driver.
- Improve 'perf record' to to register in a perf.data file header the
clockid used to help later correlate things like syslog files and
perf events recorded.
- Add basic syscall and find_next_bit benchmarks to 'perf bench'.
- Allow using computed metrics in calculating other metrics. For
instance:
{
.metric_expr = "l2_rqsts.demand_data_rd_hit + l2_rqsts.pf_hit + l2_rqsts.rfo_hit",
.metric_name = "DCache_L2_All_Hits",
},
{
.metric_expr = "max(l2_rqsts.all_demand_data_rd - l2_rqsts.demand_data_rd_hit, 0) + l2_rqsts.pf_miss + l2_rqsts.rfo_miss",
.metric_name = "DCache_L2_All_Miss",
},
{
.metric_expr = "dcache_l2_all_hits + dcache_l2_all_miss",
.metric_name = "DCache_L2_All",
}
- Add suport for 'd_ratio', '>' and '<' operators to the expression
resolver used in calculating metrics in 'perf stat'.
Support for new kernel features:
- Support TEXT_POKE and KSYMBOL_TYPE_OOL perf metadata events to cope
with things like ftrace, trampolines, i.e. changes in the kernel
text that gets in the way of properly decoding Intel PT hardware
traces, for instance.
Intel PT:
- Add various knobs to reduce the volume of Intel PT traces by
reducing the level of details such as decoding just some types of
packets (e.g., FUP/TIP, PSB+), also filtering by time range.
- Add new itrace options (log flags to the 'd' option, error flags to
the 'e' one, etc), controlling how Intel PT is transformed into
perf events, document some missing options (e.g., how to synthesize
callchains).
BPF:
- Properly report BPF errors when parsing events.
- Do not setup side-band events if LIBBPF is not linked, fixing a
segfault.
Libraries:
- Improvements to the libtraceevent plugin mechanism.
- Improve libtracevent support for KVM trace events SVM exit reasons.
- Add a libtracevent plugins for decoding syscalls/sys_enter_futex
and for tlb_flush.
- Ensure sample_period is set libpfm4 events in 'perf test'.
- Fixup libperf namespacing, to make sure what is in libperf has the
perf_ namespace while what is now only in tools/perf/ doesn't use
that prefix.
Arch specific:
- Improve the testing of vendor events and metrics in 'perf test'.
- Allow no ARM CoreSight hardware tracer sink to be specified on
command line.
- Fix arm_spe_x recording when mixed with other perf events.
- Add s390 idle functions 'psw_idle' and 'psw_idle_exit' to list of
idle symbols.
- List kernel supplied event aliases for arm64 in 'perf list'.
- Add support for extended register capability in PowerPC 9 and 10.
- Added nest IMC power9 metric events.
Miscellaneous:
- No need to setup sample_regs_intr/sample_regs_user for dummy
events.
- Update various copies of kernel headers, some causing perf to
handle new syscalls, MSRs, etc.
- Improve usage of flex and yacc, enabling warnings and addressing
the fallout.
- Add missing '--output' option to 'perf kmem' so that it can pass it
along to 'perf record'.
- 'perf probe' fixes related to adding multiple probes on the same
address for the same event.
- Make 'perf probe' warn if the target function is a GNU indirect
function. |
