2021-07-04percpu: flush tlb in pcpu_reclaim_populated()Dennis Zhou
Prior to "percpu: implement partial chunk depopulation", pcpu_depopulate_chunk() was called only on the destruction path. This meant the virtual address range was on its way back to vmalloc which will handle flushing the tlbs for us. However, with pcpu_reclaim_populated(), we are now calling pcpu_depopulate_chunk() during the active lifecycle of a chunk. Therefore, we need to flush the tlb as well otherwise we can end up accessing the wrong page through an invalid tlb mapping as reported in [1].

2021-06-05percpu: rework memcg accountingRoman Gushchin
The current implementation of the memcg accounting of the percpu memory is based on the idea of having two separate sets of chunks for accounted and non-accounted memory. This approach has an advantage of not wasting any extra memory for memcg data for non-accounted chunks, however it complicates the code and leads to a higher chunks number due to a lower chunk utilization. Instead of having two chunk types it's possible to declare all* chunks memcg-aware unless the kernel memory accounting is disabled globally by a boot option. The size of objcg_array is usually small in comparison to chunks themselves (it obviously depends on the number of CPUs), so even if some chunk will have no accounted allocations, the memory waste isn't significant and will likely be compensated by a higher chunk utilization. Also, with time more and more percpu allocations will likely become accounted. * The first chunk is initialized before the memory cgroup subsystem, so we don't know for sure whether we need to allocate obj_cgroups. Because it's small, let's make it free for use. Then we don't need to allocate obj_cgroups for it. Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org>

2021-04-21percpu: implement partial chunk depopulationRoman Gushchin
From Roman ("percpu: partial chunk depopulation"): In our [Facebook] production experience the percpu memory allocator is sometimes struggling with returning the memory to the system. A typical example is a creation of several thousands memory cgroups (each has several chunks of the percpu data used for vmstats, vmevents, ref counters etc). Deletion and complete releasing of these cgroups doesn't always lead to a shrinkage of the percpu memory, so that sometimes there are several GB's of memory wasted. The underlying problem is the fragmentation: to release an underlying chunk all percpu allocations should be released first. The percpu allocator tends to top up chunks to improve the utilization. It means new small-ish allocations (e.g. percpu ref counters) are placed onto almost filled old-ish chunks, effectively pinning them in memory. This patchset solves this problem by implementing a partial depopulation of percpu chunks: chunks with many empty pages are being asynchronously depopulated and the pages are returned to the system. To illustrate the problem the following script can be used: -- cd /sys/fs/cgroup mkdir percpu_test echo "+memory" > percpu_test/cgroup.subtree_control cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu for i in `seq 1 1000`; do mkdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}" for j in `seq 1 10`; do mkdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"_"${j}" done done cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu for i in `seq 1 1000`; do for j in `seq 1 10`; do rmdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"_"${j}" done done sleep 10 cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu for i in `seq 1 1000`; do rmdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}" done rmdir percpu_test -- It creates 11000 memory cgroups and removes every 10 out of 11. It prints the initial size of the percpu memory, the size after creating all cgroups and the size after deleting most of them. Results: vanilla: ./percpu_test.sh Percpu: 7488 kB Percpu: 481152 kB Percpu: 481152 kB with this patchset applied: ./percpu_test.sh Percpu: 7488 kB Percpu: 481408 kB Percpu: 135552 kB The total size of the percpu memory was reduced by more than 3.5 times. This patch: This patch implements partial depopulation of percpu chunks. As of now, a chunk can be depopulated only as a part of the final destruction, if there are no more outstanding allocations. However to minimize a memory waste it might be useful to depopulate a partially filed chunk, if a small number of outstanding allocations prevents the chunk from being fully reclaimed. This patch implements the following depopulation process: it scans over the chunk pages, looks for a range of empty and populated pages and performs the depopulation. To avoid races with new allocations, the chunk is previously isolated. After the depopulation the chunk is sidelined to a special list or freed. New allocations prefer using active chunks to sidelined chunks. If a sidelined chunk is used, it is reintegrated to the active lists. The depopulation is scheduled on the free path if the chunk is all of the following: 1) has more than 1/4 of total pages free and populated 2) the system has enough free percpu pages aside of this chunk 3) isn't the reserved chunk 4) isn't the first chunk If it's already depopulated but got free populated pages, it's a good target too. The chunk is moved to a special slot, pcpu_to_depopulate_slot, chunk->isolated is set, and the balance work item is scheduled. On isolation, these pages are removed from the pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages. It is constantly replaced to the to_depopulate_slot when it meets these qualifications. pcpu_reclaim_populated() iterates over the to_depopulate_slot until it becomes empty. The depopulation is performed in the reverse direction to keep populated pages close to the beginning. Depopulated chunks are sidelined to preferentially avoid them for new allocations. When no active chunk can suffice a new allocation, sidelined chunks are first checked before creating a new chunk.

2020-08-12mm: memcg/percpu: account percpu memory to memory cgroupsRoman Gushchin
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.

The prior patch added support for passing gfp flags through to the underlying allocators. This patch allows users to pass along gfp flags (currently only __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN) to the underlying allocators. This should allow users to decide if they are ok with failing allocations recovering in a more graceful way. Additionally, gfp passing was done as additional flags in the previous patch. Instead, change this to caller passed semantics. GFP_KERNEL is also removed as the default flag. It continues to be used for internally caused underlying percpu allocations.

2018-02-18percpu: add __GFP_NORETRY semantics to the percpu balancing pathDennis Zhou
Percpu memory using the vmalloc area based chunk allocator lazily populates chunks by first requesting the full virtual address space required for the chunk and subsequently adding pages as allocations come through. To ensure atomic allocations can succeed, a workqueue item is used to maintain a minimum number of empty pages. In certain scenarios, such as reported in [1], it is possible that physical memory becomes quite scarce which can result in either a rather long time spent trying to find free pages or worse, a kernel panic. This patch adds support for __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN passing them through to the underlying allocators. This should prevent any unnecessary panics potentially caused by the workqueue item. The passing of gfp around is as additional flags rather than a full set of flags. The next patch will change these to caller passed semantics. V2: Added const modifier to gfp flags in the balance path. Removed an extra whitespace.

2017-11-15mm: remove __GFP_COLDMel Gorman
As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of __GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the __GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page allocator. This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway. The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the fault path.

2014-09-02percpu: move region iterations out of pcpu_[de]populate_chunk()Tejun Heo
Previously, pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() were called with the range which may contain multiple target regions in it and pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() iterated over the regions. This has the benefit of batching up cache flushes for all the regions; however, we're planning to add more bookkeeping logic around [de]population to support atomic allocations and this delegation of iterations gets in the way. This patch moves the region iterations out of pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() into its callers - pcpu_alloc() and pcpu_reclaim() - so that we can later add logic to track more states around them. This change may make cache and tlb flushes more frequent but multi-region [de]populations are rare anyway and if this actually becomes a problem, it's not difficult to factor out cache flushes as separate callbacks which are directly invoked from percpu.c.

2011-11-22percpu: fix chunk range calculationTejun Heo
Percpu allocator recorded the cpus which map to the first and last units in pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu respectively and used them to determine the address range of a chunk - e.g. it assumed that the first unit has the lowest address in a chunk while the last unit has the highest address. This simply isn't true. Groups in a chunk can have arbitrary positive or negative offsets from the previous one and there is no guarantee that the first unit occupies the lowest offset while the last one the highest. Fix it by actually comparing unit offsets to determine cpus occupying the lowest and highest offsets. Also, rename pcu_first/last_unit_cpu to pcpu_low/high_unit_cpu to avoid confusion. The chunk address range is used to flush cache on vmalloc area map/unmap and decide whether a given address is in the first chunk by per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() and the bug was discovered by invalid per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() translation for crash_note.
