There were some questions about potential permanent migration failures but those are deemed unlikely and not really problematic because the context is interruptible. I have tried to clarify the wording to be more clear. original changelog: While testing memory hotplug on a large 4TB machine we have noticed that memory offlining is just too eager to fail. The primary reason is that the retry logic is just too easy to give up. We have 4 ways out of the offline - we have a permanent failure (isolation or memory notifiers fail, or hugetlb pages cannot be dropped) - userspace sends a signal - a hardcoded 120s timeout expires - page migration fails 5 times This is way too convoluted and it doesn't scale very well. We have seen both temporary migration failures as well as 120s being triggered. After removing those restrictions we were able to pass stress testing during memory hot remove without any other negative side effects observed. Therefore I suggest dropping both hard coded policies. I couldn't have found any specific reason for them in the changelog. I neither didn't get any response [1] from Kamezawa. If we need some upper bound - e.g. timeout based - then we should have a proper and user defined policy for that. In any case there should be a clear use case when introducing it. Any comments, objections?

Most probably because it was on the pcp LRU cache or it has been removed from the LRU already but it hasn't been freed yet. In both cases the page doesn't look non-migrable so retrying more makes sense. __offline_pages seems rather cluttered when it comes to the retry logic. We have 5 retries at maximum and a timeout. We could argue whether the timeout makes sense but failing just because of a race when somebody isoltes a page from LRU or puts it on a pcp LRU lists is just wrong. It only takes it to race with a process which unmaps some pages and remove them from the LRU list and we can fail the whole offline because of something that is a temporary condition and actually not harmful for the offline. Please note that unmovable pages should be already excluded during start_isolate_page_range. We could argue that has_unmovable_pages is racy and MIGRATE_MOVABLE check doesn't provide any hard guarantee either but kernel zones (aka < ZONE_MOVABLE) will very likely detect unmovable pages in most cases and movable zone shouldn't contain unmovable pages at all. Some of those pages might be pinned but not for ever because that would be a bug on its own. In any case the context is still interruptible and so the userspace can easily bail out when the operation takes too long. This is certainly better behavior than a hardcoded retry loop which is racy. Fix this by removing the max retry count and only rely on the timeout resp. interruption by a signal from the userspace. Also retry rather than fail when check_pages_isolated sees some !free pages because those could be a result of the race as well.

OK, that means that start_isolate_page_range should have failed but it hasn't for some reason. I strongly suspect has_unmovable_pages is doing something wrong. Is the kernel text marked somehow? E.g. PageReserved?

OK, thanks for confirmation. I will remove the MIGRATE_MOVABLE check here. Do you think it is worth removing CMA check as well? This is merely an optimization AFAIU because we do not have to check the full pageblockworth of pfns. Anyway, let's way for Michael to confirm it really helps.

It's true that MIGRATE_CMA does guarantee that the *buddy allocator* won't allocate non-MOVABLE pages from the pageblock. But if the memory got allocated as an actual CMA allocation (alloc_contig...) it will almost certainly not be movable. > Anyway, let's way for Michael to confirm it really helps.

Yeah it failed only because the migration code retried few times and we bailed out which is wrong as well. I will send two patches as a reply to this email. > >> This is really strange!

This will become a real problem when we drop the retry loop counter resp. timeout. The real problem is in has_unmovable_pages in fact. We should fail if there are any non migrateable pages in the area. In orther to guarantee that remove the migrate type checks because MIGRATE_MOVABLE is not guaranteed to contain only migrateable pages. It is merely a heuristic. Similarly MIGRATE_CMA does guarantee that the page allocator doesn't allocate any non-migrateable pages from the block but CMA allocations themselves are unlikely to migrateable. Therefore remove both checks.

Therefore remove both checks. Hello, This patch will break the CMA user. As you mentioned, CMA allocation itself isn't migrateable. So, after a single page is allocated through CMA allocation, has_unmovable_pages() will return true for this pageblock. Then, futher CMA allocation request to this pageblock will fail because it requires isolating the pageblock.

Hmm, does this mean that the CMA allocation path depends on has_unmovable_pages to return false here even though the memory is not movable? This sounds really strange to me and kind of abuse of this function. Which path is that?

I did a more thinking and found that it's strange to check if there is unmovable page in the pageblock during the set_migratetype_isolate(). set_migratetype_isolate() should be just for setting the migratetype of the pageblock. Checking other things should be done by another place, for example, before calling the start_isolate_page_range() in __offline_pages().

With your patch, this case also fails unnecessarilly if the other pages in the pageblock is pinned.

Do we really want to mess those No, but, as I mentioned already, this API can be called with less pages.

I'm not sure what is the confusing semantic you mentioned. I think that set_migratetype_isolate() has confusing semantic and should be fixed since making the pageblock isolated doesn't need to check if there is unmovable page or not.

Do you think that > set_migratetype_isolate() need to check it? If so, why? My intuitive understanding of set_migratetype_isolate is that it either suceeds and that means that the given pfn range can be isolated for the given type of allocation (be it movable or cma). No new pages will be allocated from this range to allow converging into a free range in a finit amount of time. At least this is how the hotplug code would like to use it and I suppose that the alloc_contig_range would like to guarantee the same to not rely on a fixed amount of migration attempts. > > > > > I did a more thinking and found that it's strange to check if there is > > > > > unmovable page in the pageblock during the set_migratetype_isolate(). > > > > > set_migratetype_isolate() should be just for setting the migratetype > > > > > of the pageblock.

Yes, alloc_contig_range() also want to guarantee the similar thing. Major difference between them is 'given pfn range'. memory hotplug works by pageblock unit but alloc_contig_range() doesn't. alloc_contig_range() works by the page unit. However, there is no easy way to isolate individual page so it uses pageblock isolation regardless of 'given pfn range'. In this case, checking movability of all pages on the pageblock would cause the problem as I mentioned before. > > > > > > > I did a more thinking and found that it's strange to check if there is > > > > > > unmovable page in the pageblock during the set_migratetype_isolate(). > > > > > > set_migratetype_isolate() should be just for setting the migratetype > > > > > > of the pageblock.

I couldn't look too closely yet, but do I understand correctly that the *potential* problem (because as you say there are no such alloc_contig_range callers) you are describing is not newly introduced by Michal's series? Then his patch fixing the introduced regression should be enough for now, and further improvements could be posted on top, and not vice versa? Please don't take it wrong, I agree the current state is a bit of a mess and improvements are welcome. Also it seems to me that Michal is right, and there's nothing preventing alloc_contig_range() to allocate from CMA pageblocks for non-CMA purposes (likely not movable), and that should be also fixed?

OK, it seems I understand Joonsoo's concern more now. And I agree with Vlastimil, that it is better to plug the immediate regression with a minimal patch and discuss general improvements of the pfn based allocator separatelly. There are more things to clear up there, including the proper API (alloc_contig_range is just too low level for anybody to use) as well as the MIGRATE_* flags usage (e.g. I am not really sure GB pages usage of MIGRATE_MOVABLE is really correct). alloc_contig_range looks like an internal CMA function which has been (ab)used for a different purpose to me rather than a well thought through interface. MAP_CONTIG discussion has shown some interest in an API for large allocations so I _believe_ we should think that through befire we grow more unexpected users. I am definitely willing to help there.

If you do not mind I would rather go with the simple patch first and then build on top of that. For two reasons 1) it documents the CMA requirement and 2) there do not seem to be any real users affected by the issue you are seeing right now. And 3) I really believe alloc_contig_range needs a deeper thought to be usable in more general contexts. > > me that Michal is right, and there's nothing preventing > > alloc_contig_range() to allocate from CMA pageblocks for non-CMA > > purposes (likely not movable), and that should be also fixed? > > I noticed the problem you mentioned now and, yes, it should be fixed. > My patch will naturally fixes this issue, too.

I believe this is what Joonsoo was proposing actually. I cannot say I would like skip_hwpoisoned_pages and adding one more flag is just too ugly. So I would prefer to have something that would actually make sense from the semantic POV. If CMA really needs to work with partial CMA blocks then MIGRATE_CMA as an indicator sounds like the right way to go to me. But I am not a CMA expert so I might be missing some subtlety here. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.

I cannot say I Yes, I initially suggested this idea but change my mind. Now, I think that problem is not in has_unmovable_pages() but in set_migratetype_isolate(). So different solution is needed.

This is essentially a policy implemented in the kernel. Moreover there is no way to adjust the timeout and so we are sometimes facing memory offline failures if the system is under a heavy memory pressure or very intensive CPU workload on large machines. It is not very clear what purpose the timeout actually serves. The offline operation is interruptible by a signal so if userspace wants some timeout based termination this can be done trivially by sending a signal. If there is a strong usecase to do this from the kernel then we should do it properly and have a it tunable from the userspace with the timeout disabled by default along with the explanation who uses it and for what purporse.
