mm: speculative page references If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or otherwise pinning a reference to the page. This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something else, we must be able to free it with a put_page). Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page in either case. This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie. adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make it work). Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to hold off speculative getters.

Ramfs and Ram Disk pages are unevictable Christoph Lameter pointed out that ram disk pages also clutter the LRU lists. When vmscan finds them dirty and tries to clean them, the ram disk writeback function just redirties the page so that it goes back onto the active list. Round and round she goes... With the ram disk driver [rd.c] replaced by the newer 'brd.c', this is no longer the case, as ram disk pages are no longer maintained on the lru. [This makes them unmigratable for defrag or memory hot remove, but that can be addressed by a separate patch series.] However, the ramfs pages behave like ram disk pages used to, so: Define new address_space flag [shares address_space flags member with mapping's gfp mask] to indicate that the address space contains all unevictable pages. This will provide for efficient testing of ramfs pages in page_evictable(). Also provide wrapper functions to set/test the unevictable state to minimize #ifdefs in ramfs driver and any other users of this facility. Set the unevictable state on address_space structures for new ramfs inodes. Test the unevictable state in page_evictable() to cull unevictable pages. These changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

mm: remove likely() from mapping_unevictable() The mapping_unevictable() has a likely() around the mapping parameter. This mapping parameter comes from page_mapping() which has an unlikely() that the page will be set as PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, and if so, it will return NULL. One would think that this unlikely() means that the mapping returned by page_mapping() would not be NULL, but where page_mapping() is used just above mapping_unevictable(), that unlikely() is incorrect most of the time. This means that the "likely(mapping)" in mapping_unevictable() is incorrect most of the time. Running the annotated branch profiler on my main box which runs firefox, evolution, xchat and is part of my distcc farm, I had this: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 12872836 1269443893 98 mapping_unevictable pagemap.h 51 35935762 1270265395 97 page_mapping mm.h 659 1306198001 143659 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 203131478 121586 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 5415491 1116 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 74899487 1116 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 203132845 224 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 5415464 27 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 13552 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 13552 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 242630 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 242630 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 74899487 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 The page_mapping() is a static inline, which is why it shows up multiple times. The mapping_unevictable() is also a static inline but seems to be used only once in my setup. The unlikely in page_mapping() was correct a total of 1909540379 times and incorrect 1270533123 times, with a 39% being incorrect. Perhaps this is enough to remove the unlikely from page_mapping() as well.

/*
* speculatively take a reference to a page.
* If the page is free (_count == 0), then _count is untouched, and 0
* is returned. Otherwise, _count is incremented by 1 and 1 is returned.
*
* This function must be called inside the same rcu_read_lock() section as has
* been used to lookup the page in the pagecache radix-tree (or page table):
* this allows allocators to use a synchronize_rcu() to stabilize _count.
*
* Unless an RCU grace period has passed, the count of all pages coming out
* of the allocator must be considered unstable. page_count may return higher
* than expected, and put_page must be able to do the right thing when the
* page has been finished with, no matter what it is subsequently allocated
* for (because put_page is what is used here to drop an invalid speculative
* reference).
*
* This is the interesting part of the lockless pagecache (and lockless
* get_user_pages) locking protocol, where the lookup-side (eg. find_get_page)
* has the following pattern:
* 1. find page in radix tree
* 2. conditionally increment refcount
* 3. check the page is still in pagecache (if no, goto 1)
*
* Remove-side that cares about stability of _count (eg. reclaim) has the
* following (with tree_lock held for write):
* A. atomically check refcount is correct and set it to 0 (atomic_cmpxchg)
* B. remove page from pagecache
* C. free the page
*
* There are 2 critical interleavings that matter:
* - 2 runs before A: in this case, A sees elevated refcount and bails out
* - A runs before 2: in this case, 2 sees zero refcount and retries;
* subsequently, B will complete and 1 will find no page, causing the
* lookup to return NULL.
*
* It is possible that between 1 and 2, the page is removed then the exact same
* page is inserted into the same position in pagecache. That's OK: the
* old find_get_page using tree_lock could equally have run before or after
* such a re-insertion, depending on order that locks are granted.
*
* Lookups racing against pagecache insertion isn't a big problem: either 1
* will find the page or it will not. Likewise, the old find_get_page could run
* either before the insertion or afterwards, depending on timing.

This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something else, we must be able to free it with a put_page). Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page in either case. This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie. adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make it work). Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to hold off speculative getters.

fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

hugetlb, rmap: add reverse mapping for hugepage This patch adds reverse mapping feature for hugepage by introducing mapcount for shared/private-mapped hugepage and anon_vma for private-mapped hugepage. While hugepage is not currently swappable, reverse mapping can be useful for memory error handler. Without this patch, memory error handler cannot identify processes using the bad hugepage nor unmap it from them. That is: - for shared hugepage: we can collect processes using a hugepage through pagecache, but can not unmap the hugepage because of the lack of mapcount. - for privately mapped hugepage: we can neither collect processes nor unmap the hugepage. This patch solves these problems. This patch include the bug fix given by commit 23be7468e8, so reverts it.

mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs. It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer. In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault. It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time. Tests: - microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s before, 15000 iterations/s after. - We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show significant performance regressions when running without this change.

mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires it Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the feature. Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave similarly, but see the cover letter for those results. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

If we find the destination page is uptodate, continue as normal, but use atomic usercopies which do not take pagefaults and do not zero the uncopied tail of the destination. The destination is already uptodate, so we can commit_write the full length even if there was a partial copy: it does not matter that the tail was not modified, because if it is dirtied and written back to disk it will not cause any problems (uptodate *means* that the destination page is as new or newer than the copy on disk). 1a. The above requires that fault_in_pages_readable correctly returns access information, because atomic usercopies cannot distinguish between non-present pages in a readable mapping, from lack of a readable mapping. 2. If we find the destination page is non uptodate, unlock it (this could be made slightly more optimal), then allocate a temporary page to copy the source data into. Relock the destination page and continue with the copy. However, instead of a usercopy (which might take a fault), copy the data from the pinned temporary page via the kernel address space.

The destination is already uptodate, so we can commit_write the full length even if there was a partial copy: it does not matter that the tail was not modified, because if it is dirtied and written back to disk it will not cause any problems (uptodate *means* that the destination page is as new or newer than the copy on disk). 1a. The above requires that fault_in_pages_readable correctly returns access information, because atomic usercopies cannot distinguish between non-present pages in a readable mapping, from lack of a readable mapping. 2. If we find the destination page is non uptodate, unlock it (this could be made slightly more optimal), then allocate a temporary page to copy the source data into. Relock the destination page and continue with the copy. However, instead of a usercopy (which might take a fault), copy the data from the pinned temporary page via the kernel address space. (also, rename maxlen to seglen, because it was confusing) This increases the CPU/memory copy cost by almost 50% on the affected workloads. That will be solved by introducing a new set of pagecache write aops in a subsequent patch.

mm: fix pagecache write deadlocks Modify the core write() code so that it won't take a pagefault while holding a lock on the pagecache page. There are a number of different deadlocks possible if we try to do such a thing: 1. generic_buffered_write 2. lock_page 3. prepare_write 4. unlock_page+vmtruncate 5. copy_from_user 6. mmap_sem(r) 7. handle_mm_fault 8. lock_page (filemap_nopage) 9. commit_write 10. unlock_page a. sys_munmap / sys_mlock / others b. mmap_sem(w) c. make_pages_present d. get_user_pages e. handle_mm_fault f. lock_page (filemap_nopage) 2,8 - recursive deadlock if page is same 2,8;2,8 - ABBA deadlock is page is different 2,6;b,f - ABBA deadlock if page is same The solution is as follows: 1.

mm: introduce delete_from_page_cache() Presently we increase the page refcount in add_to_page_cache() but don't decrease it in remove_from_page_cache(). Such asymmetry adds confusion, requiring that callers notice it and a comment explaining why they release a page reference. It's not a good API. A long time ago, Hugh tried it (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/24/140) but gave up because reiser4's drop_page() had to unlock the page between removing it from page cache and doing the page_cache_release(). But now the situation is changed. I think at least things in current mainline don't have any obstacles. The problem is for out-of-mainline filesystems - if they have done such things as reiser4, this patch could be a problem but they will discover this at compile time since we remove remove_from_page_cache(). This patch: This function works as just wrapper remove_from_page_cache(). The difference is that it decreases page references in itself. So caller have to make sure it has a page reference before calling. This patch is ready for removing remove_from_page_cache().
