[PATCH v4 0/5] Introduce ZONE_CMA

[js1304]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

Hello,

Changes from v3
o Rebase on next-20160805
o Split first patch per Vlastimil
o Remove useless function parameter per Vlastimil
o Add code comment per Vlastimil
o Add following description on cover-letter

This is the 4th version of ZONE_CMA patchset. Most of changes are
due to rebase and there is no major change.

CMA has many problems and I mentioned them on the bottom of the
cover letter. These problems comes from limitation of CMA memory that
should be always migratable for device usage. I think that introducing
a new zone is the best approach to solve them. Here are the reasons.

Zone is introduced to solve some issues due to H/W addressing limitation.
MM subsystem is implemented to work efficiently with these zones.
Allocation/reclaim logic in MM consider this limitation very much.
What I did in this patchset is introducing a new zone and extending zone's
concept slightly. New concept is that zone can have not only H/W addressing
limitation but also S/W limitation to guarantee page migration.
This concept is originated from ZONE_MOVABLE and it works well
for a long time. So, ZONE_CMA should not be special at this moment.

There is a major concern from Mel that ZONE_MOVABLE which has
S/W limitation causes highmem/lowmem problem. Highmem/lowmem problem is
that some of memory cannot be usable for kernel memory due to limitation
of the zone. It causes to break LRU ordering and makes hard to find kernel
usable memory when memory pressure.

However, important point is that this problem doesn't come from
implementation detail (ZONE_MOVABLE/MIGRATETYPE). Even if we implement it
by MIGRATETYPE instead of by ZONE_MOVABLE, we cannot use that type of
memory for kernel allocation because it isn't migratable. So, it will cause
to break LRU ordering, too. We cannot avoid the problem in any case.
Therefore, we should focus on which solution is better for maintainance
and not intrusive for MM subsystem.

In this viewpoint, I think that zone approach is better. As mentioned
earlier, MM subsystem already have many infrastructures to deal with
zone's H/W addressing limitation. Adding S/W limitation on zone concept
and adding a new zone doesn't change anything. It will work by itself.
My patchset can remove many hooks related to CMA area management in MM
while solving the problems. More hooks are required to solve the problems
if we choose MIGRATETYPE approach.

Although Mel withdrew the review, Vlastimil expressed an agreement on this
new zone approach [6].

 "I realize I differ here from much more experienced mm guys, and will
 probably deservingly regret it later on, but I think that the ZONE_CMA
 approach could work indeed better than current MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks."

If anyone has a different opinion, please let me know.

Thanks.


Changes from v2
o Rebase on next-20160525
o No other changes except following description

There was a discussion with Mel [5] after LSF/MM 2016. I could summarise
it to help merge decision but it's better to read by yourself since
if I summarise it, it would be biased for me. But, if anyone hope
the summary, I will do it. :)

Anyway, Mel's position on this patchset seems to be neutral. He saids:
"I'm not going to outright NAK your series but I won't ACK it either"

We can fix the problems with any approach but I hope to go a new zone
approach because it is less error-prone. It reduces some corner case
handling for now and remove need for potential corner case handling to fix
problems.

Note that our company is already using ZONE_CMA and there is no problem.

If anyone has a different opinion, please let me know and let's discuss
together.

Andrew, if there is something to do for merge, please let me know.

Changes from v1
o Separate some patches which deserve to submit independently
o Modify description to reflect current kernel state
(e.g. high-order watermark problem disappeared by Mel's work)
o Don't increase SECTION_SIZE_BITS to make a room in page flags
(detailed reason is on the patch that adds ZONE_CMA)
o Adjust ZONE_CMA population code

This series try to solve problems of current CMA implementation.

CMA is introduced to provide physically contiguous pages at runtime
without exclusive reserved memory area. But, current implementation
works like as previous reserved memory approach, because freepages
on CMA region are used only if there is no movable freepage. In other
words, freepages on CMA region are only used as fallback. In that
situation where freepages on CMA region are used as fallback, kswapd
would be woken up easily since there is no unmovable and reclaimable
freepage, too. If kswapd starts to reclaim memory, fallback allocation
to MIGRATE_CMA doesn't occur any more since movable freepages are
already refilled by kswapd and then most of freepage on CMA are left
to be in free. This situation looks like exclusive reserved memory case.

In my experiment, I found that if system memory has 1024 MB memory and
512 MB is reserved for CMA, kswapd is mostly woken up when roughly 512 MB
free memory is left. Detailed reason is that for keeping enough free
memory for unmovable and reclaimable allocation, kswapd uses below
equation when calculating free memory and it easily go under the watermark.

Free memory for unmovable and reclaimable = Free total - Free CMA pages

This is derivated from the property of CMA freepage that CMA freepage
can't be used for unmovable and reclaimable allocation.

Anyway, in this case, kswapd are woken up when (FreeTotal - FreeCMA)
is lower than low watermark and tries to make free memory until
(FreeTotal - FreeCMA) is higher than high watermark. That results
in that FreeTotal is moving around 512MB boundary consistently. It
then means that we can't utilize full memory capacity.

To fix this problem, I submitted some patches [1] about 10 months ago,
but, found some more problems to be fixed before solving this problem.
It requires many hooks in allocator hotpath so some developers doesn't
like it. Instead, some of them suggest different approach [2] to fix
all the problems related to CMA, that is, introducing a new zone to deal
with free CMA pages. I agree that it is the best way to go so implement
here. Although properties of ZONE_MOVABLE and ZONE_CMA is similar, I
decide to add a new zone rather than piggyback on ZONE_MOVABLE since
they have some differences. First, reserved CMA pages should not be
offlined. If freepage for CMA is managed by ZONE_MOVABLE, we need to keep
MIGRATE_CMA migratetype and insert many hooks on memory hotplug code
to distiguish hotpluggable memory and reserved memory for CMA in the same
zone. It would make memory hotplug code which is already complicated
more complicated. Second, cma_alloc() can be called more frequently
than memory hotplug operation and possibly we need to control
allocation rate of ZONE_CMA to optimize latency in the future.
In this case, separate zone approach is easy to modify. Third, I'd
like to see statistics for CMA, separately. Sometimes, we need to debug
why cma_alloc() is failed and separate statistics would be more helpful
in this situtaion.

Anyway, this patchset solves four problems related to CMA implementation.

1) Utilization problem
As mentioned above, we can't utilize full memory capacity due to the
limitation of CMA freepage and fallback policy. This patchset implements
a new zone for CMA and uses it for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE request. This
typed allocation is used for page cache and anonymous pages which
occupies most of memory usage in normal case so we can utilize full
memory capacity. Below is the experiment result about this problem.

pswpout:                183		92

FYI, there is another attempt [3] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.

2) Reclaim problem
Currently, there is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in reclaim path.
If reclaim is initiated for unmovable and reclaimable allocation,
reclaiming CMA pages doesn't help to satisfy the request and reclaiming
CMA page is just waste. By managing CMA pages in the new zone, we can
skip to reclaim ZONE_CMA completely if it is unnecessary.

3) Atomic allocation failure problem
Kswapd isn't started to reclaim pages when allocation request is movable
type and there is enough free page in the CMA region. After bunch of
consecutive movable allocation requests, free pages in ordinary region
(not CMA region) would be exhausted without waking up kswapd. At that time,
if atomic unmovable allocation comes, it can't be successful since there
is not enough page in ordinary region. This problem is reported
by Aneesh [4] and can be solved by this patchset.

4) Inefficiently work of compaction
Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable type and it cannot
be serviced from CMA area. In compaction, migration scanner doesn't
distinguish migratable pages on the CMA area and do migration.
In this case, even if we make high-order page on that region, it
cannot be used due to type mismatch. This patch will solve this problem
by separating CMA pages from ordinary zones.

I passed boot test on x86_64, x86_32, arm and arm64. I did some stress
tests on x86_64 and x86_32 and there is no problem. Feel free to enjoy
and please give me a feedback. :)

This patchset is based on linux-next-20160330.

Thanks.

[PATCH v4 1/5] mm/cma: introduce new zone, ZONE_CMA

For this patch:

Currently, reserved pages for CMA are managed together with normal pages.
To distinguish them, we used migratetype, MIGRATE_CMA, and
do special handlings for this migratetype. But, it turns out that
there are too many problems with this approach and to fix all of them
needs many more hooks to page allocation and reclaim path so
some developers express their discomfort and problems on CMA aren't fixed
for a long time.

To terminate this situation and fix CMA problems, this patch implements
ZONE_CMA. Reserved pages for CMA will be managed in this new zone. This
approach will remove all exisiting hooks for MIGRATE_CMA and many
problems related to CMA implementation will be solved.

This patch only add basic infrastructure of ZONE_CMA. In the following
patch, ZONE_CMA is actually populated and used.

Adding a new zone could cause two possible problems. One is the overflow
of page flags and the other is GFP_ZONES_TABLE issue.

Following is page-flags layout described in page-flags-layout.h.

1. No sparsemem or sparsemem vmemmap: |       NODE     | ZONE |             ... | FLAGS |
2.      " plus space for last_cpupid: |       NODE     | ZONE | LAST_CPUPID ... | FLAGS |
3. classic sparse with space for node:| SECTION | NODE | ZONE |             ... | FLAGS |
4.      " plus space for last_cpupid: | SECTION | NODE | ZONE | LAST_CPUPID ... | FLAGS |
5. classic sparse no space for node:  | SECTION |     ZONE    | ... | FLAGS |

There is no problem in #1, #2 configurations for 64-bit system. There are
enough room even for extremiely large x86_64 system. 32-bit system would
not have many nodes so it would have no problem, too.
System with #3, #4, #5 configurations could be affected by this zone
addition, but, thanks to recent THP rework which reduce one page flag,
problem surface would be small. In some configurations, problem is
still possible, but, it highly depends on individual configuration
so impact cannot be easily estimated. I guess that usual system
with CONFIG_CMA would not be affected. If there is a problem,
we can adjust section width or node width for that architecture.

Currently, GFP_ZONES_TABLE is 32-bit value for 32-bit bit operation
in the 32-bit system. If we add one more zone, it will be 48-bit and
32-bit bit operation cannot be possible. Although it will cause slight
overhead, there is no other way so this patch relax GFP_ZONES_TABLE's
32-bit limitation. 32-bit System with CONFIG_CMA will be affected by
this change but it would be marginal.

Note that there are many checkpatch warnings but I think that current
code is better for readability than fixing them up.

[PATCH v4 2/5] mm/cma: populate ZONE_CMA

[js1304]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

Until now, reserved pages for CMA are managed in the ordinary zones
where page's pfn are belong to. This approach has numorous problems
and fixing them isn't easy. (It is mentioned on previous patch.)
To fix this situation, ZONE_CMA is introduced in previous patch, but,
not yet populated. This patch implement population of ZONE_CMA
by stealing reserved pages from the ordinary zones.

Unlike previous implementation that kernel allocation request with
__GFP_MOVABLE could be serviced from CMA region, allocation request only
with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE can be serviced from CMA region in the new
approach. This is an inevitable design decision to use the zone
implementation because ZONE_CMA could contain highmem. Due to this
decision, ZONE_CMA will work like as ZONE_HIGHMEM or ZONE_MOVABLE.

I don't think it would be a problem because most of file cache pages
and anonymous pages are requested with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. It could
be proved by the fact that there are many systems with ZONE_HIGHMEM and
they work fine. Notable disadvantage is that we cannot use these pages
for blockdev file cache page, because it usually has __GFP_MOVABLE but
not __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_USER. But, in this case, there is pros and
cons. In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top
reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more
guarantee of cma_alloc() success by discarding that case.

Implementation itself is very easy to understand. Steal when cma area is
initialized and recalculate various per zone stat/threshold.

[PATCH v4 3/5] mm/cma: remove ALLOC_CMA

[js1304]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

Now, all reserved pages for CMA region are belong to the ZONE_CMA
and it only serves for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. Therefore, we don't need to
consider ALLOC_CMA at all.

[PATCH v4 4/5] mm/cma: remove MIGRATE_CMA

[js1304]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

Now, all reserved pages for CMA region are belong to the ZONE_CMA
and there is no other type of pages. Therefore, we don't need to
use MIGRATE_CMA to distinguish and handle differently for CMA pages
and ordinary pages. Remove MIGRATE_CMA.

Unfortunately, this patch make free CMA counter incorrect because
we count it when pages are on the MIGRATE_CMA. It will be fixed
by next patch. I can squash next patch here but it makes changes
complicated and hard to review so I separate that.

[PATCH v4 5/5] mm/cma: remove per zone CMA stat

[js1304]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

Now, all reserved pages for CMA region are belong to the ZONE_CMA
so we don't need to maintain CMA stat in other zones. Remove it.

Hmm is this a dead code? for_each_populated_zone() will skip zones where 
zone->present_pages is 0, which is AFAICS the result for ZONE_CMA
after it's initialized by calculate_node_totalpages() (after Patch 1/5).
The present_pages seem to be only increased later in this function by 
cma_activate_area() -> init_cma_reserved_pageblock().

So in previous version I said this (and you replied):

What's the outcome? :) Is stealing from beginning/end of zone common for 
CMA? Are we losing zone->contiguous and add iterations to compaction 
scanner needlessly?

Thanks.

You're right. I will replace for_each_populated_zone() with for_each_zone().

Yes. I have thought it and my conclusion is:

It is possible but I don't want to make code more complex at this
moment. We can simply do it later.

Thanks.
