[PATCH] mm, page_alloc: skip ->watermark_boost for atomic order-0 allocations-fix

[PATCH] mm, page_alloc: skip ->watermark_boost for atomic order-0 allocations-fix

[Charan Teja Kalla]

When boosting is enabled, it is observed that rate of atomic order-0
allocation failures are high due to the fact that free levels in the
system are checked with ->watermark_boost offset. This is not a problem
for sleepable allocations but for atomic allocations which looks like
regression.

This problem is seen frequently on system setup of Android kernel
running on Snapdragon hardware with 4GB RAM size. When no extfrag event
occurred in the system, ->watermark_boost factor is zero, thus the
watermark configurations in the system are:
   _watermark = (
          [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB
          [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB
          [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB
   watermark_boost = 0

After launching some memory hungry applications in Android which can
cause extfrag events in the system to an extent that ->watermark_boost
can be set to max i.e. default boost factor makes it to 150% of high
watermark.
   _watermark = (
          [WMARK_MIN] = 1272, --> ~5MB
          [WMARK_LOW] = 9067, --> ~36MB
          [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB
   watermark_boost = 14077, -->~57MB

With default system configuration, for an atomic order-0 allocation to
succeed, having free memory of ~2MB will suffice. But boosting makes
the min_wmark to ~61MB thus for an atomic order-0 allocation to be
successful system should have minimum of ~23MB of free memory(from
calculations of zone_watermark_ok(), min = 3/4(min/2)). But failures are
observed despite system is having ~20MB of free memory. In the testing,
this is reproducible as early as first 300secs since boot and with
furtherlowram configurations(<2GB) it is observed as early as first
150secs since boot.

These failures can be avoided by excluding the ->watermark_boost in
watermark caluculations for atomic order-0 allocations.

Re: [PATCH] mm, page_alloc: skip ->watermark_boost for atomic order-0 allocations-fix

[Ralph Siemsen]

Hi,

Please consider applying the patch from this thread to 5.8.y:
commit f80b08fc44536a311a9f3182e50f318b79076425

The fix should also go into 5.4.y, however the patch needs some minor
adjustments due to surrounding context differences. Attached below is a
version I have tested against 5.4.71.

This solves a "page allocation failure" error that can be reproduced
both on physical hardware, and also under qemu-system-arm. The test
consists of repeatedly running md5sum on a large file. In my tests the
file contains 1GB of random data, while the system has only 256MB RAM. 
No other tasks are running or consuming significant memory. 

After some time (between 1 and 200 iterations) the kernel reports a page
allocation failure. Additional failures occur fairly quickly thereafter.
The md5sum is correctly computed in each case. The OOM is not invoked.
The backtrace shows a 0-order GFP_ATOMIC was requested, with quite a
bit of memory available, and yet the allocation fails.

Similar error also occurs when "md5sum" is replaced by "scp" or "nc".
The backtrace again shows a 0-order with GFP_ATOMIC that fails, with
plenty of memory available according to the Mem-Info dump.

The problem does not occur under 4.9.y or 4.19.y. Bisction has found
that the problem started to occur with 688fcbfc06e4 ("mm/vmalloc: modify
struct vmap_area to reduce its size") during the 5.4 dev cycle.

I can provide additional logs and details if interested.

Thanks,
Ralph

[upstream commit f80b08fc44536a311a9f3182e50f318b79076425
 with context adjusted to match linux-5.4.y]

When boosting is enabled, it is observed that rate of atomic order-0

   watermark_boost = 0

After launching some memory hungry applications in Android which can cause
extfrag events in the system to an extent that ->watermark_boost can be

   _watermark = (

          [WMARK_HIGH] = 9385), --> ~38MB
   watermark_boost = 14077, -->~57MB

With default system configuration, for an atomic order-0 allocation to
succeed, having free memory of ~2MB will suffice.  But boosting makes the
min_wmark to ~61MB thus for an atomic order-0 allocation to be successful
system should have minimum of ~23MB of free memory(from calculations of
zone_watermark_ok(), min = 3/4(min/2)).  But failures are observed despite
system is having ~20MB of free memory.  In the testing, this is

These failures can be avoided by excluding the ->watermark_boost in
