out of X etc.

However with vesafb/efifb built-in, we end up with those on fb0 and the
KMS fb driver on fb1, driving the same piece of hw, so this adds an fb
info flag to denote a firmware fbdev, and adds a new aperture base/size
range which can be compared when the hw drivers are installed to see if
there is a conflict with a firmware driver, and if there is the firmware
driver is unregistered and the hw driver takes over.

It uses new aperture_base/size members instead of comparing on the fix
smem_start/length, as smem_start/length might for example only cover the
first 1MB of the PCI aperture, and we could allocate the kms fb from 8MB
into the aperture, thus they would never overlap.

In s3c_fb_check_var(), if var->vits_per_pixel is 25 or 28, then

atmel-lcdc: fix pixclock upper bound detection

AFAICT the code which checks that the requested pixclock value is within
bounds is incorrect.  It ensures that the lcdc core clock is at least
(bytes per pixel) times higher than the pixel clock rather than just
greater than or equal to.

There are tighter restrictions on the pixclock value as a function of bus
width for STN panels but even then it isn't a simple relationship as
currently checked for.  IMO either something like the below patch should
be applied or else more detailed checking logic should be implemented
which takes in to account the panel type as well.

After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are
able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too.

For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming
network frames on many sockets.  But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call
sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread.

When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep
again, because nothing is really available.  If number of fds is large,
this cause significant load.

This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless
wakeups are avoided.  This reduces number of context switches by about 50%
on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

zone gets marked full.

This can cause situations where a zone is usable, but is being skipped
because it has been considered full.  Take a situation where a large tmpfs
mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall.  The pages do not
get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full
and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future.

This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about
what occured when zone_reclaim() failued.  The zone only gets marked full
if it really is unreclaimable.  If it's a case that the scan did not occur
or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then
the zone is simply skipped.

There is a side-effect to this patch.  Currently, if zone_reclaim()
successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go
ahead.  With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after
zone_reclaim() does some work.

This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc96a132f4068fdee00983c532f43d3a26
("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the
zonelist_cache was introduced.  It was not intended that zone_reclaim()
aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct
reclaim can still be an option.  Due to the age of the bug, it should be
considered a -stable candidate.

14 years agovmscan: properly account for the number of page cache pages zone_reclaim() can reclaim
Mel Gorman [Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:33:20 +0000 (15:33 -0700)] 
vmscan: properly account for the number of page cache pages zone_reclaim() can reclaim

A bug was brought to my attention against a distro kernel but it affects
mainline and I believe problems like this have been reported in various
guises on the mailing lists although I don't have specific examples at the
moment.

The reported problem was that malloc() stalled for a long time (minutes in
some cases) if a large tmpfs mount was occupying a large percentage of
memory overall.  The pages did not get cleaned or reclaimed by
zone_reclaim() because the zone_reclaim_mode was unsuitable, but the lists
are uselessly scanned frequencly making the CPU spin at near 100%.

This patchset intends to address that bug and bring the behaviour of
zone_reclaim() more in line with expectations which were noticed during
investigation.  It is based on top of mmotm and takes advantage of
Kosaki's work with respect to zone_reclaim().

Patch 1 fixes the heuristics that zone_reclaim() uses to determine if the
scan should go ahead. The broken heuristic is what was causing the
malloc() stall as it uselessly scanned the LRU constantly. Currently,
zone_reclaim is assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 and historically it
could not deal with tmpfs pages at all. This fixes up the heuristic so
that an unnecessary scan is more likely to be correctly avoided.

Patch 2 notes that zone_reclaim() returning a failure automatically means
the zone is marked full. This is not always true. It could have
failed because the GFP mask or zone_reclaim_mode were unsuitable.

Patch 3 introduces a counter zreclaim_failed that will increment each
time the zone_reclaim scan-avoidance heuristics fail. If that
counter is rapidly increasing, then zone_reclaim_mode should be
set to 0 as a temporarily resolution and a bug reported because
the scan-avoidance heuristic is still broken.

This patch:

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim.  On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.

There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but the
problem is that the heuristic is not being properly applied and is
basically assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 if it is enabled.  The lack of
proper detection can manfiest as high CPU usage as the LRU list is scanned
uselessly.

Historically, once enabled it was depending on NR_FILE_PAGES which may
include swapcache pages that the reclaim_mode cannot deal with.  Patch
vmscan-change-the-number-of-the-unmapped-files-in-zone-reclaim.patch by
Kosaki Motohiro noted that zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_PAGES) included
pages that were not file-backed such as swapcache and made a calculation
based on the inactive, active and mapped files.  This is far superior when
zone_reclaim==1 but if RECLAIM_SWAP is set, then NR_FILE_PAGES is a
reasonable starting figure.

This patch alters how zone_reclaim() works out how many pages it might be
able to reclaim given the current reclaim_mode.  If RECLAIM_SWAP is set in
the reclaim_mode it will either consider NR_FILE_PAGES as potential
candidates or else use NR_{IN}ACTIVE}_PAGES-NR_FILE_MAPPED to discount
swapcache and other non-file-backed pages.  If RECLAIM_WRITE is not set,
then NR_FILE_DIRTY number of pages are not candidates.  If RECLAIM_SWAP is
not set, then NR_FILE_MAPPED are not.

writeback: skip new or to-be-freed inodes

1) I_FREEING tests should be coupled with I_CLEAR

The two I_FREEING tests are racy because clear_inode() can set i_state to
I_CLEAR between the clear of I_SYNC and the test of I_FREEING.

2) skip I_WILL_FREE inodes in generic_sync_sb_inodes() to avoid possible
   races with generic_forget_inode()

generic_forget_inode() sets I_WILL_FREE call writeback on its own, so
generic_sync_sb_inodes() shall not try to step in and create possible races:

  generic_forget_inode
    inode->i_state |= I_WILL_FREE;
    spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
                                       generic_sync_sb_inodes()
                                         spin_lock(&inode_lock);
                                         __iget(inode);

                                           // see non zero i_count
 may WARN here ==>                         WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE);
                                         spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
 may call generic_forget_inode again ==> iput(inode);

The above race and warning didn't turn up because writeback_inodes() holds
the s_umount lock, so generic_forget_inode() finds MS_ACTIVE and returns
early.  But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will
guarantee that.  So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.

vmscan: merge duplicate code in shrink_active_list()

The "move pages to active list" and "move pages to inactive list" code
blocks are mostly identical and can be served by a function.

Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out.

Note that buffer_heads_over_limit check will also be carried out for
re-activated pages, which is slightly different from pre-2.6.28 kernels.
Also, Rik's "vmscan: evict use-once pages first" patch could totally stop
scans of active file list when memory pressure is low.  So the net effect
could be, the number of buffer heads is now more likely to grow large.

However that's fine according to Johannes' comments:

  I don't think that this could be harmful.  We just preserve the buffer
  mappings of what we consider the working set and with low memory
  pressure, as you say, this set is not big.

  As to stripping of reactivated pages: the only pages we re-activate
  for now are those VM_EXEC mapped ones.  Since we don't expect IO from
  or to these pages, removing the buffer mappings in case they grow too
  large should be okay, I guess.

vmscan: make mapped executable pages the first class citizen

Protect referenced PROT_EXEC mapped pages from being deactivated.

PROT_EXEC(or its internal presentation VM_EXEC) pages normally belong to some
currently running executables and their linked libraries, they shall really be
cached aggressively to provide good user experiences.

Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the advice to reuse the VMA walk in
page_referenced() to get the PROT_EXEC bit.

[more details]

( The consequences of this patch will have to be discussed together with
  Rik van Riel's recent patch "vmscan: evict use-once pages first". )

( Some of the good points and insights are taken into this changelog.
  Thanks to all the involved people for the great LKML discussions. )

the problem
===========

For a typical desktop, the most precious working set is composed of
*actively accessed*
(1) memory mapped executables
(2) and their anonymous pages
(3) and other files
(4) and the dcache/icache/.. slabs
while the least important data are
(5) infrequently used or use-once files

For a typical desktop, one major problem is busty and large amount of (5)
use-once files flushing out the working set.

Inside the working set, (4) dcache/icache have already been too sticky ;-)
So we only have to care (2) anonymous and (1)(3) file pages.

anonymous pages
===============

Anonymous pages are effectively immune to the streaming IO attack, because we
now have separate file/anon LRU lists. When the use-once files crowd into the
file LRU, the list's "quality" is significantly lowered. Therefore the scan
balance policy in get_scan_ratio() will choose to scan the (low quality) file
LRU much more frequently than the anon LRU.

file pages
==========

Rik proposed to *not* scan the active file LRU when the inactive list grows
larger than active list. This guarantees that when there are use-once streaming
IO, and the working set is not too large(so that active_size < inactive_size),
the active file LRU will *not* be scanned at all. So the not-too-large working
set can be well protected.

But there are also situations where the file working set is a bit large so that
(active_size >= inactive_size), or the streaming IOs are not purely use-once.
In these cases, the active list will be scanned slowly. Because the current
shrink_active_list() policy is to deactivate active pages regardless of their
referenced bits. The deactivated pages become susceptible to the streaming IO
attack: the inactive list could be scanned fast (500MB / 50MBps = 10s) so that
the deactivated pages don't have enough time to get re-referenced. Because a
user tend to switch between windows in intervals from seconds to minutes.

This patch holds mapped executable pages in the active list as long as they
are referenced during each full scan of the active list.  Because the active
list is normally scanned much slower, they get longer grace time (eg. 100s)
for further references, which better matches the pace of user operations.

Therefore this patch greatly prolongs the in-cache time of executable code,
when there are moderate memory pressures.

before patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I
after  patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I+A
      (except when randomly reclaimed by the lumpy reclaim)
where
A = time to fully scan the   active file LRU
I = time to fully scan the inactive file LRU

Note that normally A >> I.

side effects
============

This patch is safe in general, it restores the pre-2.6.28 mmap() behavior
but in a much smaller and well targeted scope.

One may worry about some one to abuse the PROT_EXEC heuristic.  But as
Andrew Morton stated, there are other tricks to getting that sort of boost.

Another concern is the PROT_EXEC mapped pages growing large in rare cases,
and therefore hurting reclaim efficiency. But a sane application targeted for
large audience will never use PROT_EXEC for data mappings. If some home made
application tries to abuse that bit, it shall be aware of the consequences.
If it is abused to scale of 2/3 total memory, it gains nothing but overheads.

benchmarks
==========

1) memory tight desktop

1.1) brief summary

- clock time and major faults are reduced by 50%;
- pswpin numbers are reduced to ~1/3.

That means X desktop responsiveness is doubled under high memory/swap pressure.

1.2) test scenario

- nfsroot gnome desktop with 512M physical memory
- run some programs, and switch between the existing windows
  after starting each new program.

2) memory flushing in a file server

2.1) brief summary

The number of major faults from 50 to 3 during 10% cache hot reads.

That means this patch successfully stops major faults when the active file
list is slowly scanned when there are partially cache hot streaming IO.

2.2) test scenario

Do 100000 pread(size=110 pages, offset=(i*100) pages), where 10% of the
pages will be activated:

        for i in `seq 0 100 10000000`; do echo $i 110;  done > pattern-hot-10
        iotrace.rb --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse
vmmon  nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file   pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree

and monitor /proc/vmstat during the time. The test box has 2G memory.

I carried out tests on fresh booted console as well as X desktop, and
fetched the vmstat numbers on

(1) begin:     shortly after the big read IO starts;
(2) end:       just before the big read IO stops;
(3) restore:   the big read IO stops and the zsh working set restored
(4) restore X: after IO, switch back and forth between the urxvt and firefox
               windows to restore their working set.

2.3) console mode results

        nr_mapped   nr_active_file nr_inactive_file       pgmajfault     pgdeactivate           pgfree

2.6.29 VM_EXEC protection ON:
begin:       2481             2237             8694              630                0           574299
end:          275           231976           233914              633           776271         20933042
restore:      370           232154           234524              691           777183         20958453

2.6.29 VM_EXEC protection ON (second run):
begin:       2434             2237             8493              629                0           574195
end:          284           231970           233536              632           771918         20896129
restore:      399           232218           234789              690           774526         20957909

2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF:
begin:       2479             2344             9659              210                0           579643
end:          284           232010           234142              260           772776         20917184
restore:      379           232159           234371              301           774888         20967849

The above console numbers show that

- The startup pgmajfault of 2.6.30-rc4-mm is merely 1/3 that of 2.6.29.
  I'd attribute that improvement to the mmap readahead improvements :-)

- The pgmajfault increment during the file copy is 633-630=3 vs 260-210=50.
  That's a huge improvement - which means with the VM_EXEC protection logic,
  active mmap pages is pretty safe even under partially cache hot streaming IO.

- when active:inactive file lru size reaches 1:1, their scan rates is 1:20.8
  under 10% cache hot IO. (computed with formula Dpgdeactivate:Dpgfree)
  That roughly means the active mmap pages get 20.8 more chances to get
  re-referenced to stay in memory.

- The absolute nr_mapped drops considerably to 1/9 during the big IO, and the
  dropped pages are mostly inactive ones. The patch has almost no impact in
  this aspect, that means it won't unnecessarily increase memory pressure.
  (In contrast, your 20% mmap protection ratio will keep them all, and
  therefore eliminate the extra 41 major faults to restore working set
  of zsh etc.)

The iotrace.rb read throughput is
151.194384MB/s 284.198252s 100001x 450560b --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse
which means the inactive list is rotated at the speed of 250MB/s,
so a full scan of which takes about 3.5 seconds, while a full scan
of active file list takes about 77 seconds.

2.4) X mode results

We can reach roughly the same conclusions for X desktop:

        nr_mapped   nr_active_file nr_inactive_file       pgmajfault     pgdeactivate           pgfree

2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection ON:
begin:       9740             8920            64075              561                0           678360
end:          768           218254           220029              565           798953         21057006
restore:      857           218543           220987              606           799462         21075710
restore X:   2414           218560           225344              797           799462         21080795

2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF:
begin:       9368             5035            26389              554                0           633391
end:          770           218449           221230              661           646472         17832500
restore:     1113           218466           220978              710           649881         17905235
restore X:   2687           218650           225484              947           802700         21083584

- the absolute nr_mapped drops considerably (to 1/13 of the original size)
  during the streaming IO.
- the delta of pgmajfault is 3 vs 107 during IO, or 236 vs 393
  during the whole process.

The mode is easy to translate but irritating for the lazy and a bit error
prone.  This patch adds a very simple helper script gfp-translate for the
mode: portion of the page allocation failure messages.  An example usage
looks like

  mel@machina:~/linux-2.6 $ scripts/gfp-translate 0x4020
  Source: /home/mel/linux-2.6
  Parsing: 0x4020
  #define __GFP_HIGH (0x20) /* Should access emergency pools? */
  #define __GFP_COMP (0x4000) /* Add compound page metadata */

The script is not a work of art but it has come in handy for me a few
times so I thought I would share.
