[PATCH v3] mm/page_alloc: fix freeing of MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pages

[PATCH v3] mm/page_alloc: fix freeing of MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pages

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

Pages allocated from MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pageblocks
are not freed back to MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype free
lists in free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page() if we got
to free_pcppages_bulk() through drain_[zone_]pages().
The freeing through free_hot_cold_page() is okay because
freepage migratetype is set to pageblock migratetype before
calling free_pcppages_bulk().  If pages of MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype end up on the free lists of other migratetype
whole Reserved pageblock may be later changed to the other
migratetype in __rmqueue_fallback() and it will be never
changed back to be a Reserved pageblock.  Fix the issue by
moving freepage migratetype setting from rmqueue_bulk() to
__rmqueue[_fallback]() and preserving freepage migratetype
as an original pageblock migratetype for MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype pages.

The problem was introduced in v2.6.31 by commit ed0ae21
("page allocator: do not call get_pageblock_migratetype()
more than necessary").

[PATCH v3] mm/page_alloc: fix freeing of MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pages

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

Pages allocated from MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pageblocks
are not freed back to MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype free
lists in free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page() if we got
to free_pcppages_bulk() through drain_[zone_]pages().
The freeing through free_hot_cold_page() is okay because
freepage migratetype is set to pageblock migratetype before
calling free_pcppages_bulk().  If pages of MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype end up on the free lists of other migratetype
whole Reserved pageblock may be later changed to the other
migratetype in __rmqueue_fallback() and it will be never
changed back to be a Reserved pageblock.  Fix the issue by
moving freepage migratetype setting from rmqueue_bulk() to
__rmqueue[_fallback]() and preserving freepage migratetype
as an original pageblock migratetype for MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype pages.

The problem was introduced in v2.6.31 by commit ed0ae21
("page allocator: do not call get_pageblock_migratetype()
more than necessary").

I think this is somewhat misleading and got me confused for a while. 
It's not about the call path of free_pcppages_bulk(), but about the
fact that rmqueue_bulk() has been called at some point to fill up the 
pcp lists, and had to resort to __rmqueue_fallback(). So, going through 
free_hot_cold_page() might give you correct migratetype for the last 
page freed, but the pcp lists may still contain misplaced pages from 
earlier rmqueue_bulk().

Actually wouldn't the easiest solution to this particular problem to 
check current pageblock migratetype in try_to_steal_freepages() and 
disallow changing it. However I agree that preventing the misplaced page 
in the first place would be even better.

A better naming would help, "mt" and "migratetype" are the same thing 
and it gets too confusing.

Are you sure that here the checking of of CMA and ISOLATE is not needed? 
Did the original rmqueue_bulk() have this checking only for the 
__rmqueue_fallback() case? Why wouldn't the check already be only in 
__rmqueue_fallback() then?

Well, yes, though 'mt' is short and the check code is consistent with
the corresponding code in rmqueue_bulk().

Do you have a proposal for a better name for this variable?

CMA and ISOLATE migratetype pages are always put back on the correct
free lists (since set_freepage_migratetype() sets freepage migratetype
to the original one for CMA and ISOLATE migratetype pages) and
__rmqueue_smallest() can take page only from the 'migratetype' free
list.

Probably because of historical reasons.  The rmqueue_bulk() contained
set_page_private() call when CMA was introduced and added the special
handling for CMA and ISOLATE migratetype pages, please see commit
47118af ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added").

Actually, this is true also for the __rmqueue_fallback() case. So we can 
do without get_pageblock_migratetype() completely. In fact, Joonsoo 
already posted such patch in "[PATCH 3/7] mm/page_alloc: move 
set_freepage_migratetype() to better place", see:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/9/33

I've updated and improved this and will send shortly along with some 
DEBUG_VM checks to test easier that this is indeed the case. Testing 
from the CMA people is welcome.

Actually, this is true also for the __rmqueue_fallback() case. So we can 
do without get_pageblock_migratetype() completely. In fact, Joonsoo 
already posted such patch in "[PATCH 3/7] mm/page_alloc: move 
set_freepage_migratetype() to better place", see:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/9/33

I've updated and improved this and will send shortly along with some 
DEBUG_VM checks to test easier that this is indeed the case. Testing 
from the CMA people is welcome.

[PATCH 1/2] mm/page_alloc: prevent MIGRATE_RESERVE pages from being misplaced

[Vlastimil Babka]

For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is important they do not get misplaced
on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise the whole MIGRATE_RESERVE
pageblock might be changed to other migratetype in try_to_steal_freepages().

Currently, it is however possible for this to happen when MIGRATE_RESERVE
page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a fallback for other
desired migratetype, and then later freed back through free_pcppages_bulk()
without being actually used. This happens because free_pcppages_bulk() uses
get_freepage_migratetype() to choose the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls
set_freepage_migratetype() with the *desired* migratetype and not the page's
original MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to set_freepage_migratetype()
from rmqueue_bulk() down to __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where
the actual page's migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken
from) is used. Note that this migratetype might be different from the
pageblock's migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page
stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care to leave
all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.

Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to get_pageblock_migratetype()
from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can be removed completely. This relies
on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks are created only during system init,
and the above. The related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as
memory isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain
pcp lists containing pages that should be isolated.
The buffered_rmqueue() can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype()
instead of get_pageblock_migratetype().

A separate patch will add VM_BUG_ON checks for the invariant that for
MIGRATE_RESERVE and MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks, freepage_migratetype must equal to
pageblock_migratetype so that these pages always go to the correct free_list.

Could the VM_BUG_ON()s be VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() instead?

Hey, that's not an issue, that means the patch works as intended :) And
I believe it's not a bug introduced by PATCH 1/2.

So, according to my decodecode reading, RAX is the results of
get_pageblock_migratetype() and it's MIGRATE_RESERVE. RDX is the result
of get_freepage_migratetype() and it's MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE. The
freepage_migratetype has just been set either by __rmqueue_smallest() or
__rmqueue_fallback(), according to the free_list the page has been taken
from. So this looks like a page from MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock found on
the !MIGRATE_RESERVE free_list, which is exactly what the patch intends
to catch.

I think there are two possible explanations.

1) the pageblock is genuinely MIGRATE_RESERVE and it was misplaced by
mistake. I think it wasn't in free_pcppages_bulk() as there's the same
VM_BUG_ON which would supposedly trigger at the moment of displacing. In
theory it's possible that there's a race through __free_pages_ok() ->
free_one_page() where the get_pageblock_migratetype() in
__free_pages_ok() would race with set_pageblock_migratetype() and result
in bogus value. But nobody should be calling set_pageblock_migratetype()
on a MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock.

2) the pageblock was marked as MIGRATE_RESERVE due to a race between
set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(). The latter is
currently not serialized by zone->lock, nor it uses atomic bit set. So
it may result in lost updates in a racing set_pageblock_migratetype(). I
think a well-placed race when changing pageblock from MIGRATE_MOVABLE to
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE could result in MIGRATE_RESERVE value. Similar races
have been already observed to be a problem where frequent changing
to/from MIGRATE_ISOLATE is involved, and I did a patch series to address
this, but it was not complete and I postponed it after Mel's changes
that remove the racy for-cycles completely. So it might be that his
"[PATCH 08/17] mm: page_alloc: Use word-based accesses for get/set
pageblock bitmaps" already solves this bug (but maybe only on certain
architectures where you don't need atomic operations). You might try
that patch if you can reproduce this bug frequently enough?

Hey, that's not an issue, that means the patch works as intended :) And
I believe it's not a bug introduced by PATCH 1/2.

So, according to my decodecode reading, RAX is the results of
get_pageblock_migratetype() and it's MIGRATE_RESERVE. RDX is the result
of get_freepage_migratetype() and it's MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE. The
freepage_migratetype has just been set either by __rmqueue_smallest() or
__rmqueue_fallback(), according to the free_list the page has been taken
from. So this looks like a page from MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock found on
the !MIGRATE_RESERVE free_list, which is exactly what the patch intends
to catch.

I think there are two possible explanations.

1) the pageblock is genuinely MIGRATE_RESERVE and it was misplaced by
mistake. I think it wasn't in free_pcppages_bulk() as there's the same
VM_BUG_ON which would supposedly trigger at the moment of displacing. In
theory it's possible that there's a race through __free_pages_ok() ->
free_one_page() where the get_pageblock_migratetype() in
__free_pages_ok() would race with set_pageblock_migratetype() and result
in bogus value. But nobody should be calling set_pageblock_migratetype()
on a MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock.

2) the pageblock was marked as MIGRATE_RESERVE due to a race between
set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(). The latter is
currently not serialized by zone->lock, nor it uses atomic bit set. So
it may result in lost updates in a racing set_pageblock_migratetype(). I
think a well-placed race when changing pageblock from MIGRATE_MOVABLE to
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE could result in MIGRATE_RESERVE value. Similar races
have been already observed to be a problem where frequent changing
to/from MIGRATE_ISOLATE is involved, and I did a patch series to address
this, but it was not complete and I postponed it after Mel's changes
that remove the racy for-cycles completely. So it might be that his
"[PATCH 08/17] mm: page_alloc: Use word-based accesses for get/set
pageblock bitmaps" already solves this bug (but maybe only on certain
architectures where you don't need atomic operations). You might try
that patch if you can reproduce this bug frequently enough?

Oh damn, I've realized that my assumptions about MIGRATE_RESERVE 
pageblocks being created only on zone init time were wrong. 
setup_zone_migrate_reserve() is called also from the handler of 
min_free_kbytes sysctl... does trinity try to change that while running?
The function will change MOVABLE pageblocks to RESERVE and try to move 
all free pages to the RESERVE free_list, but of course pages on pcplists 
will remain MOVABLE and may trigger the VM_BUG_ON. You triggered the bug 
with page on MOVABLE free_list (in the first reply I said its UNMOVABLE 
by mistake) so this might be good explanation if trinity changes 
min_free_kbytes.

Furthermore, I think there's a problem that setup_zone_migrate_reserve() 
operates on pageblocks, but as MAX_ODER is higher than pageblock_order, 
RESERVE pages might be merged with buddies of different migratetype and 
end up on their free_list. That seems to me like a flaw in the design of 
reserves, but perhaps others won't think it's serious enough to fix?

So in the end this VM_DEBUG check probably cannot work anymore for 
MIGRATE_RESERVE, only for CMA. I'm not sure if it's worth keeping it 
only for CMA, what are the CMA guys' opinions on that?

Also this means that the 1/2 patch "prevent MIGRATE_RESERVE pages from 
being misplaced" still won't prevent stealing a MIGRATE_RESERVE 
pageblock when __rmqueue_fallback() encounters a strayed MIGRATE_RESERVE 
page on e.g. a MOVABLE freelist. This is fixable by having 
__rmqueue_fallback() not trusting the migratetype of free_list and 
checking for pageblock_migratetype. I hate that, but at least it's not 
on the fast path...

I really don't want it. That was I didn't add my Acked-by at that time.
For a long time, I never wanted to add more overhead hot path due to
CMA unless it's really critical. It's same to this.
Although such debug patch helps to notice something goes wrong for CMA,
more information would be helpful to know why CMA failed because
there are another potential reasons to fail CMA allocation.

One of the idea about that is to store alloc trace into somewhere(ex,
naive idea is page description like page-owner) and then we could investigate
what's the owner of that page so we could know why we fail to migrate it out.
With that, we would figure out how on earth such page is allocated from CMA
and it would be more helpful rather just VM_BUG_ON notice.

The whole point is I'd like to avoid adding more overhead to hot path for
rare case although it's debugging feature.

I really don't want it. That was I didn't add my Acked-by at that time.
For a long time, I never wanted to add more overhead hot path due to
CMA unless it's really critical. It's same to this.
Although such debug patch helps to notice something goes wrong for CMA,
more information would be helpful to know why CMA failed because
there are another potential reasons to fail CMA allocation.

One of the idea about that is to store alloc trace into somewhere(ex,
naive idea is page description like page-owner) and then we could investigate
what's the owner of that page so we could know why we fail to migrate it out.
With that, we would figure out how on earth such page is allocated from CMA
and it would be more helpful rather just VM_BUG_ON notice.

The whole point is I'd like to avoid adding more overhead to hot path for
rare case although it's debugging feature.

OK. I'm not that concerned with VM_DEBUG overhead as it's intended for
testing, not production. But as you say the patch is not that useful
without the MIGRATE_RESERVE part, so Andrew could you please drop the
patch (mm-page_alloc-debug_vm-checks-for-free_list-placement-of-cma-and-reserve-pages.patch)?

It would be also nice to change the commit log of patch
(mm-page_alloc-prevent-migrate_reserve-pages-from-being-misplaced.patch)
to reflect the recent findings. I will send another patch to deal with
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock stealing, as we clearly cannot prevent
misplaced MIGRATE_RESERVE pages when MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks are
created dynamically through min_free_kbytes sysctl.

Thanks.

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
Subject: mm/page_alloc: prevent rmqueue_bulk misplacing MIGRATE_RESERVE pages

For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get misplaced on
free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get allocated prematurely
and e.g. fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks. While this cannot be avoided
completely when allocating new MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes
sysctl handler, we should prevent the misplacement where possible.

Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a MIGRATE_RESERVE
page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a fallback for other
desired migratetype, and then later freed back through free_pcppages_bulk()
without being actually used. This happens because free_pcppages_bulk() uses
get_freepage_migratetype() to choose the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls
set_freepage_migratetype() with the *desired* migratetype and not the page's
original MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to set_freepage_migratetype()
from rmqueue_bulk() down to __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where
the actual page's migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from)
is used. Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page stealing
never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care to leave all
MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.

Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to get_pageblock_migratetype()
from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can be removed completely.  This
relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks are created only during system
init, and the above. The related is_migrate_isolate() check is also
unnecessary, as memory isolation has other ways to move pages between
freelists, and drain pcp lists containing pages that should be isolated. The

OK. I'm not that concerned with VM_DEBUG overhead as it's intended for
testing, not production. But as you say the patch is not that useful
without the MIGRATE_RESERVE part, so Andrew could you please drop the
patch (mm-page_alloc-debug_vm-checks-for-free_list-placement-of-cma-and-reserve-pages.patch)?

It would be also nice to change the commit log of patch
(mm-page_alloc-prevent-migrate_reserve-pages-from-being-misplaced.patch)
to reflect the recent findings. I will send another patch to deal with
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock stealing, as we clearly cannot prevent
misplaced MIGRATE_RESERVE pages when MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks are
created dynamically through min_free_kbytes sysctl.

Thanks.

Subject: mm/page_alloc: prevent rmqueue_bulk misplacing MIGRATE_RESERVE pages

For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get misplaced on
free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get allocated prematurely
and e.g. fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks. While this cannot be avoided
completely when allocating new MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes
sysctl handler, we should prevent the misplacement where possible.

Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a MIGRATE_RESERVE
page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a fallback for other
desired migratetype, and then later freed back through free_pcppages_bulk()
without being actually used. This happens because free_pcppages_bulk() uses
get_freepage_migratetype() to choose the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls
set_freepage_migratetype() with the *desired* migratetype and not the page's
original MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to set_freepage_migratetype()
from rmqueue_bulk() down to __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where
the actual page's migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from)
is used. Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page stealing
never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care to leave all
MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.

Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to get_pageblock_migratetype()
from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can be removed completely.  This
relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks are created only during system
init, and the above. The related is_migrate_isolate() check is also
unnecessary, as memory isolation has other ways to move pages between
freelists, and drain pcp lists containing pages that should be isolated. The
buffered_rmqueue() can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype()
instead of get_pageblock_migratetype().

I wanna know who want MIGRATE_RESERVE. On my previous testing, one
pageblock for MIGRATE_RESERVE is merged with buddies of different
migratetype during boot-up and never come back again. But my system works
well. :)

If it is really useful feature, we can fix the situation by aligning
reserve size and pfn to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

And, IMHO, it isn't reasonable to increase, decrease and change
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock by the handler of min_free_kbytes sysctl,
because new pageblock may have no free pages to reserve. I think that
it is better to prevent sysctl handler from changing MIGRATE_RESERVE
pageblock, after initialization.

In conclusion, if MIGRATE_RESERVE is useful enough to maintain, to fix
above problem and keep this patch is preferable to me.

I also think that VM_DEBUG overhead isn't problem because of same
reason from Vlastimil.

I wanna know who want MIGRATE_RESERVE. On my previous testing, one
pageblock for MIGRATE_RESERVE is merged with buddies of different
migratetype during boot-up and never come back again. But my system works
well. :)

If it is really useful feature, we can fix the situation by aligning
reserve size and pfn to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

And, IMHO, it isn't reasonable to increase, decrease and change
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock by the handler of min_free_kbytes sysctl,
because new pageblock may have no free pages to reserve. I think that
it is better to prevent sysctl handler from changing MIGRATE_RESERVE
pageblock, after initialization.

In conclusion, if MIGRATE_RESERVE is useful enough to maintain, to fix
above problem and keep this patch is preferable to me.

I also think that VM_DEBUG overhead isn't problem because of same
reason from Vlastimil.

AFAIRC, it was introduced for high-order atomic alloation and Mel tested
it with small memory system and wireless network device.

Guys, please read this.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/17/591

If you guys really want it, we could separate it with
CONFIG_DEBUG_CMA or CONFIG_DEBUG_RESERVE like stuff.
Otherwise, just remain in mmotm.

AFAIRC, it was introduced for high-order atomic alloation and Mel tested
it with small memory system and wireless network device.

Guys, please read this.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/17/591

If you guys really want it, we could separate it with
CONFIG_DEBUG_CMA or CONFIG_DEBUG_RESERVE like stuff.
Otherwise, just remain in mmotm.

Wise words, those.

Yes, these checks are in a pretty hot path.  I'm inclined to make the
patch -mm (and -next) only.

Unless there's a really good reason, such as "nobody who uses CMA is
likely to be testing -next", which sounds likely :(

Hello,

Now, I think that dropping this patch is better if we can only use it
on MIGRATE_CMA case. Later, if I feel that this case should be checked,
I will resend the patch with appropriate argument.

Thanks.

It's important for short-lived high-order atomic allocations.
MIGRATE_RESERVE preserves a property of the buddy allocator prior to the
merging of fragmentation avoidance. Most users will not notice as not
many drivers depend on these allocations working. If they are getting
destroyed at boot-up, it's a bug.

Yes, I plan to do that.

This dynamic allocation could be more aggressive by doing the same stuff 
as memory isolation. In any case, I think that if it cannot guarantee 
the pageblock to be free, there is little benefit from trying to make 
sure no pages from the pageblock are strayed on pcplists and later 
misplaced in the free_list. The only danger of misplacement is page 
stealing code changing MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock to something else. This 
can be easily avoided directly in the page stealing code by checking the 
pageblock migratetype before trying to change it. This has very little 
extra overhead, in a path that's not hot to begin with.

I think it's useful in general, but not so critical to make the 
min_free_kbytes handler provide 100% guarantees. Presumably one uses the 
handler only during early boot time when there's enough free memory?
So that leaves the debug patch only for CMA which I won't push anymore 
to mainline, but feel free to adapt it for mm only.

Yes, I plan to do that.

This dynamic allocation could be more aggressive by doing the same stuff 
as memory isolation. In any case, I think that if it cannot guarantee 
the pageblock to be free, there is little benefit from trying to make 
sure no pages from the pageblock are strayed on pcplists and later 
misplaced in the free_list. The only danger of misplacement is page 
stealing code changing MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblock to something else. This 
can be easily avoided directly in the page stealing code by checking the 
pageblock migratetype before trying to change it. This has very little 
extra overhead, in a path that's not hot to begin with.

I think it's useful in general, but not so critical to make the 
min_free_kbytes handler provide 100% guarantees. Presumably one uses the 
handler only during early boot time when there's enough free memory?
So that leaves the debug patch only for CMA which I won't push anymore 
to mainline, but feel free to adapt it for mm only.

I think that we first investigate why reserve pageblock is depend on
min_free_kbytes changing. I guess that this is for maintainig reserve
pageblock size below certain watermark so that reserve pageblock
aren't used easily. But, now, we limit reserve pageblock to just 2,
that is, really small value, so reserve pageblock don't need to change
when min_free_kbytes is changed.
