Marcelo saw a 30% speed increase from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5pre3
on several tests.

At the moment the main issues left seem to be:
- balancing the inode + dentry caches versus the rest of
  the memory users  (I'm working on it now)
- simplifying __alloc_pages() a bit  (I've got some things
  ready but I'm waiting for some other people who say they
  also have some stuff to add)
- making sure we get rid of all the highmem flushing
  deadlocks ... there may still be a few around (ben, marcelo?)


regards,

Rik

Only doing parallel kernel builds.  Heavy load throughput is up,
but it swaps too heavily.  It's a little too conservative about
releasing cache now imho. (keeping about double what it should be
with this load.. easily [thump] tweaked;)

  Naeh, I am confusing (you, and myself).  Fixing those (adding the '*')
  would not work with some older assemblers.

  Claiming minimum level of 2.10/2.11 for assembler/binutils would
  certainly allow fixing things by adding the missing '*'.

panic should be marked attribute(noreturn), so gcc is being silly here
by warning at all.

I do this too, because IMHO its inline and won't make things bigger just
shut up the warning.  But Alan will yell at you for fixing gcc bugs in
the kernel source :)

Also, add a comment "fixes gcc warning" next to the code, so people know
why it's there.

binutils is issuing a correct warning but if we fix the warning old old binutils
will then refuse to assemble it right.

panic appears properly declared as __attribute(noreturn). This looks to me like

Hello,

I have just compiled 2.4.4-ac10 and got:

...
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0b.0
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000
printing eip:
c01d11d0
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0002
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<c01d11d0>]
EFLAGS: 00010282
eax: dfff1000 ...

Are the last ... needed, if yes I'll copy them (is there an easy way to do it)?
Just let me know about it ;-)

gcc -v gives me:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.1 2.96-0.50mdk)

I have put under http:://ulima.unil.ch/greg/linux/ some files:
the config of my kernels (2.4.4-ac9 and ac10), the System.map, the
output of dmesg from 2.4.4-ac9, the output of lspci -v and finally
the list of the rpm that are installed on my system.

Thanks you very much,

	Greg

"about double what it should be"

That's an interesting statement, unless you have some
arguments to define exactly how much cache the system
should keep.

Or are you just comparing with 2.2 and you'd rather
have 2.2 performance? ;)

Actually, yes. Doing fileserving with Samba, and also using the box
interactively feels better with 2.2, and also the average TCP througput
(measured by iptraf) seems higher.

This part is probably mostly due to the inode and dentry
cache balancing being completely broken in current 2.4
kernels. Expect a patch soon (I'm running something really
ugly right now here at home, I'll make something cleaner).

Do you think there's 60-80mb of good cachable data? ;-)  The "double"
is based upon many hundreds of test runs.  I "know" that performance
is best with this load when the cache stays around 25-35Mb.  I know
this because I've done enough bend adjusting to get throughput to
within one minute of single task times to have absolutely no doubt.
I can get it to 30 seconds with much obscene tweaking, and have done
it with zero additional overhead for make -j 30 ten times in a row.
(that kernel was.. plain weird. perfect synchronization.. voodoo!)

Nope.  I've bent this vm up a little and build kernels that kicked the
snot out of the previous record holder (classzone).  I know for a fact
that it can kick major butt.. why I fiddle with it when it doesn't.

Ahhh, I see.  Remember that the "cached" figure you are
seeing also includes swap-cached data from the gccs, which
results from kswapd scanning the processes, clearing the
PTE and, a bit later, the process grabbing the page again.

I suspect that if the gccs _just_ fit in memory, you can
get some extra performance by mercilessly eating from the
cache and keeping the ggcs in memory. However, I also have
the sneaking suspicion that this is not the best tactic for
all workloads ;)

Rik

Yes, ~exactly!  I chose 30 tasks because they almost do (tool/userland
dependant.. must recalibrate often) fit.  The bitch is to get the vm
to automagically detect the rss/cache munch tradeoff point without all
the manual help.

What about a sysctl for that? Choose decent steps and let 0
(which is an insane value) mean "let's kernel decide" and make
this default.

In the past we could do this by adjusting some watermarks in
/proc/sys/vm but now, we can't do anything but trust the genius
kernel developers.

I doubt that we can test all kinds of workload and even imagine
what pervert stuff some people do with their machines.

Tuning _is_ manual work. Always has been and always will be.

This countinously "I know it better then you" is what I hated
about Windows and now this comes more and more into Linux :-(

Rik: Would you take patches for such a tradeoff sysctl?

"such a tradeoff" ?

While this sounds reasonable, I have to point out that
up to now nobody has described exactly WHAT tradeoff
they'd like to make tunable and why...

I'm not against making things tunable, but I would like
to at least see the proponents of tunable things explain
WHAT they want tunable and exactly WHY.

Amount of pages reclaimed from swapout_mm() versus amount of
pages reclaimed from caches.

A value that says: "use XX% of my main memory for RSS of
processes, even if I run heavy disk loadf now" would be nice.

For general purpose machines, where I run several services but
also play games, this would allow both to survive.

The external services would go slower. Who cares, if some CVS
updates or NFS services go slower, if I can play my favorite game
at full speed? ;-)

Ideally: Every value that the kernel decides by heuristics,
   because heuristics can fail to get even close to an optimal
   result. 

But this is too much. Some tunables from refill_inactive would be
nice. Also the patch for honouring the soft rss limit is good (is
it in?).

While I'd love to have more control, I can't say I have a clear
picture of exactly how I'd like those knobs to look.  I always
start out trying to get it to seek the right behavior.. :) and
end up fighting so many different fires I get lost in the smoke.

Remember that the executable and data of that game reside
in the filesystem cache. This "double counting" makes it
quite a bit harder to actually implement what seems like
a simple tradeoff.

I don't know if this'll make sense, but I think this has to
be a ~fuzzy suggestion to the kernel.  There are so many
variables that you can't predict what the kernel will run
into.  For example, with my favorite test, sometimes tasks
do something nasty, like all deciding to do the same things
at once and thereby jerking a _knot_ in the vm's tail.

This is the core of why we cannot (IMHO) have a discussion
of whether a patch introducing new VM tunables can go in:
there is no clear overview of exactly what would need to be
tunable and how it would help.

When you and Ingo have something more specific to talk about,
I guess we can decide on that; but deciding on something like
this isn't really possible without at least knowing what should
be tunable ;)

It's worse than that.  The workload on most typical systems is not
static.  The VM *must* be able to cope with dynamic workloads.  You
might twiddle all the knobs on your system to make your database run
faster, but end up in such a situation that the next time a mail flood
arrives for sendmail, the whole box locks up because the VM can no
longer adapt.

That's the main problem with static parameters.  The problem you are
trying to solve is fundamentally dynamic in most cases (which is also
why magic numbers tend to suck in the VM.)

Cheers, 
 Stephen

That's another problem, indeed ;)

Ingo, Mike, please keep this in mind when designing
tunables or deciding which test you want to run today
in order to look how the VM is performing.


Basic rule for VM: once you start swapping, you cannot
win;  All you can do is make sure no situation loses
really badly and most situations perform reasonably.

Do you mean paging in general or thrashing?

I always thought: paging good, thrashing bad.

A good effecient paging system, always moving data between memory and disk,
is great.  It's when you have the greater than physical memory working set
that things go to hell in a hand basket.

Did Linux ever do the old trick of "We've too much going on!  You!
(randomly points to a process) take a seat!  You're not running for a
while!" and the process gets totatlly swapped out for a "while," not even
scheduled?

Yup.  The problems are dynamic even with my static test load.

Off the top of my head, if I could make a suggestion to the vm it
would be something like "don't let dirty pages lay idle any longer
than this" and maybe "reclaim cleaned pages older than that".

I've bent your code up a bit.  I've not yet been tempted to replace
any of it with a knob ;-)  There is a little piece I'd like to see
thrown away though.. the loop in refill_inactive does nothing good.

The test I prefer is a good one for the area of vm performance I'm
most interested in.  It doesn't cover the full vm spectrum by any
means.  I don't have a setup (any) good for testing mondo network or
IO stuff.  I test a simple 'job one size to large' scenario.  Yes,
it's limited test coverage.. it's still legitimate.

Perhaps when you're evaluating vm performance, you should try my
simple test once in a while. :) I'll bet you a bogobeer right here
and now that when 2.4.5 hits the street you're going to be queried
by the big-busy-box folks wrt swap volume.

I disagree with that.  I've seen a heavily swapping box run like
a scaulded ass ape many times.

Magic numbers might be sucking some performance right now ;-)

Now, lets go back to the patch I posted which reduced context switches
under load by ~40% (of ~685000) for a moment.  Kswapd is asleep while
awaiting IO completion.  The guys who are pestering the sleeping kswapd
are going to be doing page_launder to fix the shortage they're yammering
at kswapd about.  We're nibbling away at the free shortage..  and the
inactive_dirty list.  So now, we have an inactive shortage as well as
a large free shortage when we enter refill_inactive.  (shortages became
large because kswapd is sleeping on the job)

6 * (1 << page_cluster) is larger than MAX_LAUNDER, but I don't see any
reason to sneak up on the shortage instead of correcting it all at once.
It takes too long to find out it's going to fail.  Why not just get it
over with before every scrubber in the system is sleeping on IO.. except
the ones doing swap pagebuffer allocations.  They can swapout, but they
can't help push swap, so it'll all sit there until somebody wakes up no?

If I'm interpreting the results right, taking it all on at once is saving
a lot of what looks to me to be unnecessary swap.  I can't see those
swap numbers as being anything other than unnecessary given that I see
no evidence of cache collapse as in 2.4.4 and earlier kernels, and the
job is getting done faster without them.

	-Mike

(yes, the last hunk looks out of place wrt my text.  however, it improves
throughput nicely, so I left it in.  swap reduction and time savings are
present without it.. just not quite as pretty;)

The performance increase is nice, though.  Do you see similar

It also looks kind of bogus and geared completely towards this
particular workload ;)

I reused one of our base numbers to classify the severity of the
situation.. not the same as inventing new ones.  (well, not quite
the same anyway.. half did come from the south fourty;)

I don't have much to test with here, but I'll see if I can find
something. I'd rather see someone with a server load try it.

I'm not sure why that helps.  I didn't put it in as a trick or
anything though.  I put it in because it didn't seem like a
good idea to ever have more cleaned pages than free pages at a
time when we're yammering for help.. so I did that and it helped.

       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note that this is not the normal situation. Now think
about the amount of data you'd be blowing away from the
inactive_clean pages after a bit of background aging
has gone on on a lightly loaded system.  Not Good(tm)

You're right.  It should never dump too much data at once.  OTOH, if
those cleaned pages are really old (front of reclaim list), there's no
value in keeping them either.  Maybe there should be a slow bleed for
mostly idle or lightly loaded conditions.

If you don't think it's worthwhile keeping the oldest pages
in memory around, please hand me your excess DIMMS ;)

Remember that inactive_clean pages are always immediately
reclaimable by __alloc_pages(), if you measured a performance
difference by freeing pages in a different way I'm pretty sure
it's a side effect of something else.  What that something
else is I'm curious to find out, but I'm pretty convinced that
throwing away data early isn't the way to go.

OK.  I'm getting a little distracted by thinking about the locking
and some latency comments I've heard various gurus make.  I should
probably stick to thinking about/measuring throughput.. much easier.

but ;-)

Looking at the locking and trying to think SMP (grunt) though, I
don't like the thought of taking two locks for each page until
kreclaimd gets a chance to run.  One of those locks is the
pagecache_lock, and that makes me think it'd be better to just
reclaim a block if I have to reclaim at all.  At that point, the
chances of needing to lock the pagecache soon again are about
100%.  The data in that block is toast anyway.  A big hairy SMP
box has to feel reclaim_page(). (they probably feel the zone lock
too.. probably would like to allocate blocks)

Indeed, but this is a separate problem.  Doing per-CPU private
(small, 8-32 page?) free lists is probably a good idea, but I
don't really think it's related to kreclaimd ;)

I like your patch, it improves performance somewhat and makes things
more smooth and also code is simpler.

Anyway, 2.4.5-pre3 is quite debalanced and it has even broken some
things that were working properly before. For instance, swapoff now
deadlocks the machine (even with your patch applied).

Unfortunately, I have failed to pinpoint the exact problem, but I'm
confident that kernel goes in some kind of loop (99% system time, just
before deadlock). Anybody has some guidelines how to debug kernel if
you're running X?

Also in all recent kernels, if the machine is swapping, swap cache
grows without limits and is hard to recycle, but then again that is
a known problem.

The rationale for this is easy: free pages is wasted memory,
clean pages is hot, clean cache. The best state a cache can be in.

Sure.  Under low load, cache is great.  Under stress, keeping it is
not an option though ;-)  We're at or beyond capacity and moving at
a high delda V (people yammering for help).  If you can recognize and
kill the delta rapidly by dumping that which you are going to have
to dump anyway, you save time getting back on your feet.  (my guess
as to why dumping clean pages does measurably help in this case)

Thanks for the feedback.  Positive is nice.. as is negative.

To throw away dirty and dead swapcache (its done at swap writepage())
pages page_launder() has to run into its second loop (launder_loop = 1)
(meaning that a lot of clean cache has been thrown out already).

We can "short circuit" this dead swapcache pages by cleaning them in the
first page_launder() loop.

Take a look at the writepage() patch I sent to Linus a few days ago.

Could it be because we never free swap space and never
delete pages from the swap cache ?

Sorry, Rik, you can't have that that DIMM. You know, you are
developing memory managment, and we can't have you having too much
memory available ;-).

I sent a query to the list asking if a heavy load cleared it out,
but got no replies.  I figured about the only thing it could be
is that under light load, reclaim isn't needed to cure and shortage.

Just ensuring that I never had a large supply of cleaned pages laying
around at a time when folks are in distress.  It also ensures that you
never donate your last reclaimable pages, but that wasn't the intent.

It was a stray though that happened to produce measurable improvement.

IMVHO every developer involved in memory-management (and indeed, any
software development; the authors of ntpd comes in mind here) should
have a 386 with 4MB of RAM and some 16MB of swap. Nowadays I have the
luxury of a 486 with 8MB of RAM and 32MB of swap as a firewall, but it's
still a pain to work with.

You're absolutely right. The smallest thing I'm testing with
on a regular basis is my dual pentium machine, booted with
mem=8m or mem=16m.

Time to hunt around for a 386 or 486 which is limited to such
a small amount of RAM ;)

I've got an old knackered 486DX/33 with 8Mb RAM (in 30-pin SIMMs, woohoo!),
a flat CMOS battery, a 2Gb Maxtor HD that needs a low-level format every
year, and no case.  It isn't running anything right now...

OK.. let's forget about throughput for a moment and consider
those annoying reports of 0 order allocations failing :)

What do you think of the below (ignore the refill_inactive bit)
wrt allocator reliability under heavy stress?  The thing does
kick in and pump up zones even if I set the 'blood donor' level
to pages_min.

Those are ok.  All failing 0 order allocations are either
atomic allocations or GFP_BUFFER allocations.  I guess we
should just remove the printk()  ;)

Makes no sense at all since water_mark gets assigned not 10

I'm not sure if we want to fill up the free list all the way
to z->pages_low all the time, since "free memory is wasted
memory".

The reason the current scheme only triggers when we reach
z->pages_min and then goes all the way up to z->pages_low
is memory defragmentation. Since we'll be doing direct
reclaim for just about every allocation in the system, it
only happens occasionally that we throw away all the
inactive_clean pages between z->pages_min and z->pages_low.

What exactly is the reasoning behind this complex  "count"
stuff? Is there a good reason for not just refilling the
free list up to the target or until the inactive_clean list
is depleted ?

This doesn't make any sense to me at all.  Why wake up
kreclaimd just because the difference between the number
of inactive_clean pages and free pages is large ?

Didn't we determine in our last exchange of email that
it would be a good thing under most loads to keep as much
inactive_clean memory around as possible and not waste^Wfree
memory early ?

We want to keep this.  Suppose we have one zone which is
half filled with inactive_clean pages and one zone which
has "too many" free pages.

Allocating from the first zone means we evict some piece
of, potentially useful, data from the cache; allocating
from the second zone means we can keep the data in memory
and only fill up a currently unused page.

Hmm.  The guy who's box locks up on him after a burst of these probably
doesn't think these failures are very OK ;-)  I don't think order 0
failing is cool at all.. ever.  A (long) while back, Linus specifically
mentioned worrying about atomic allocation reliability.

That assignment was supposed to turn into +=.

Yes.  I'm just thinking of the burst of allocations with no reclaim
possible.

This one has me puzzled.  We're reluctant to release cleaned pages,
but at the same time, we reclaim if possible as soon as all zones
are below pages_high.

Well, yes.  You didn't like the 50/50 split thingy I did before, so
I connected zones to a tricklecharger instead.

If not, then none of it does.  This situation is the ONLY thing I
was worried about.  free_pages + inactive_clean_pages > pages_min
does nothing about free_pages for those who can't reclaim if most
of that is inactive_clean_pages. IFF it's possible to be critical
on free_pages and still have clean pages, it does make sense.

You had to get there with direct_reclaim not set was the thought.
Nobody gave the zone a transfusion, but there is a blood supply.
If nobody gets around to refilling the zone, kreclaimd will.

So why do we reclaim if we're just below pages_high?  The whole
point of this patch is to reclaim _less_ in the general case, but
to do so in a timely manner if we really need it.

You were supposed to ignore that bit.

It's supposed to cover the situation where kswapd is sleeping,
and you have a slew of little 'helper-bees' nibbling at the
problem.  Just reach out and grab what you _are going to_ grab
anyway and get it over with.  The loop makes absolutely no sense
to me, and removing it provides a performance increase 100% of
the time.  kswapd will come back really soon if it needs to, and
user tasks have no buisness looping around when they can either
get on with their allocation or hit the scheduling point in the
allocator.  Nothing they are doing is helping them in the least..
it's helping future allocations. IMHO, one time helping is enough.
In the opinion of my performance measurements, one time helping
is enough, and more than one is too many ;-).

You may not think it's cool, but it's needed in order to
prevent deadlocks. Just because an allocation cannot do
disk IO or sleep, that's no reason to loop around like
crazy in __alloc_pages() and hang the machine ... ;)

> A (long) while back, Linus specifically mentioned worrying

That's a separate issue.  That was, IIRC, about the
failure of atomic allocations causing packet loss on
Linux routers and, because of that, poor performance.

This is something we still need to look into, but
basically this problem is about too high latency and
NOT about "pre-freeing" more pages (like your patch
attempts).  If this problem is still an issue, it's
quite likely that the VM is holding locks for too
long so that it cannot react fast enough to free up
some inactive_clean pages.

Rik

True, but if we have resources available there's no excuse for a
failure.  Well, yes there is.  If the cost of that resource is
higher than the value of letting the allocation succeed.  We have
no data on the value of success, but we do plan on consuming the
reclaimable pool and do that (must), so I still think turning
these resources loose at strategic moments is logically sound.
(doesn't mean there's not a better way.. it's just an easy way)

I'd really like someone who has this problem to try the patch to
see if it does help.  I don't have this darn problem myself, so
I'm left holding a bag of idle curiosity. ;-)

	Cheers,

Oh, I've done some testing without swap too, mainly to test Rik's
oom-killer. Seemed to work pretty well. Can't say it was enjoyable, though.

Buy agenda handheld: 16MB flash, 8MB ram, X, size of palm. It is
