Subject: [PATCH v10 0/4] mm/page_owner: add per-fd filter infrastructure for print_mode and NUMA filtering
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:57:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618035750.3724613-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)

This patch series introduces per-file-descriptor filtering capabilities to the
page_owner feature.

Changes in v10:
- Add 'nid' member to struct page_owner and record it at allocation time
- Remove cond_resched() in page iteration loop (unconditional call)
- Improve error handling: check fwrite() and fflush() return values
- Handle EPIPE correctly: treat broken pipe as success

Changes in v9:
- Add spinlock_t lock to struct page_owner_filter_state
- Use memdesc_nid() instead of page_to_nid()
- Fix isdigit() usage
- Optimize I/O performance

Changes in v8:
- Fix buffer overflow, strsep() memory corruption, and unsafe string handling issues
- Add cond_resched() to prevent RCU stalls in page iteration loop
- Improve validation and error handling (e.g., "1-2-3") in userspace tool
- Fix documentation warnings and improve code comments

v8 additional testing with invalid inputs:
  ./page_owner_filter -n 1-2-3
  Error: Multiple dashes in nid_list

  ./page_owner_filter -n 0,1-2-3
  Error: Multiple dashes in nid_list

  ./page_owner_filter -n 1-2-3,2-3
  Error: Multiple dashes in nid_list

Changes in v7:
- print_mode and NUMA node filter implementation (patches 1-2)
- Add page_owner_filter userspace tool (patch 3)
- Update documentation for per-fd interface (patch 4)

Changes in v6:
- Address SeongJae Park's review comments for patch 1/3:
  * Remove unnecessary braces in if/else statement
  * Use stack array instead of kmalloc for input buffer
- Address SeongJae Park's review comments for patch 2/3:
  * Add node validity check using nodes_subset() to reject non-existent nodes
  * Separate variable declaration and statement
  * Use kmalloc_objs() for consistency with kernel patterns
  * Remove 100 bytes overhead
- Add lore links to all previous versions

Changes in v5:
- Optimize nodes_empty() check in page iteration loop
- Add __data_racy qualifier to nid_mask field

Changes in v4:
- Change print_mode from numeric (0/1) to string-based interface
  * Use "full_stack"/"stack_handle" strings instead of numbers
  * Display current mode with bracket notation: "[full_stack] stack_handle"
- Remove "-1" support from NUMA filter
  * Use empty string to clear filter (echo > nid)
- Use strncpy_from_user() instead of copy_from_user()
- Rename nid_filter_fops to page_owner_nid_filter_fops for consistency
- Merge patch 1 (infrastructure) and patch 2 (print_mode) from v3
- Update documentation to match new interface
  * String-based examples
  * Tab indentation in code blocks

Changes in v3:
- Remove READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for nodemask_t (fixes compilation errors)
  * nodemask_t is a large structure (128 bytes) that triggers compile-time asserts
  * Direct assignment is safe for this use case
- Add comment explaining input length calculation formula
  * 6 bytes = ",NNNNN" (comma + 5-digit node number)
- Simplify "-1" check using kstrtoint() instead of dual strcmp()
- Move nodemask_t mask read outside PFN iteration loop for performance
  * Avoids 128-byte structure copy on each iteration
- Add documentation for filter features (patch 3/3)

Changes in v2:
- Renamed 'compact' to 'print_mode' with enum type for better clarity
  * PAGE_OWNER_PRINT_FULL_STACK (0): print full stack traces
  * PAGE_OWNER_PRINT_STACK_HANDLE (1): print only stack handles
- Changed NUMA filter from single node to nodelist with bitmask support
  * Uses nodelist_parse() to support "0", "0,2", "0-3", "0,2-4,7" formats
  * Uses nodemask_t internally for efficient multi-node filtering
  * Output uses %*pbl format (e.g., "0-2", "0,2-4,7")
- Improved memory handling in nid_filter_write using dynamic allocation
  * Limit: (100 + 6 * MAX_NUMNODES) to handle worst-case input


Problem Statement
=================

In production environments with large memory configurations (e.g., 250GB+),
collecting page_owner information often results in files ranging from
several gigabytes to over 10GB. This creates significant challenges:

1. Storage pressure on production systems
2. Difficulty transferring large files from production environments
3. Post-processing overhead with tools/mm/page_owner_sort.c

The primary contributor to file size is redundant stack trace
information. While the kernel already deduplicates stacks via
stackdepot, page_owner retrieves and stores full stack traces for
each page, only to deduplicate them again during post-processing.

Additionally, in NUMA-aware environments (e.g., DPDK-based cloud
deployments where QEMU processes are bound to specific NUMA nodes),
OOM events are often node-specific rather than system-wide.
Previously, page_owner could not filter by NUMA node, forcing users to
collect and analyze data for all nodes.

Solution
========

This patch series introduces a per-file-descriptor filter infrastructure
with two initial filters:

1. **Print Mode Filter**: Outputs only stack handles instead of
   full stack traces. The handle-to-stack mapping can be retrieved
   from the existing show_stacks_handles interface. This dramatically
   reduces output size while preserving all allocation metadata.

2. **NUMA Node Filter**: Allows filtering pages by specific NUMA node(s)
   using flexible nodelist format, enabling targeted analysis of memory
   issues in NUMA-aware deployments.

The per-fd design allows multiple concurrent page_owner reads with
different filters, solving coordination issues in multi-user production
environments.

Implementation
==============

The series is structured as follows:

- Patch 1: Implement print_mode filter infrastructure
  * Add file->private_data to store per-fd filter state
  * Add .open, .release, and .write file operations
  * Support "stack", "handle", and "stack_handle" modes via "mode=" write commands
- Patch 2: Implement NUMA node filter infrastructure
  * Add nid_filter field to per-fd state
  * Support flexible nodelist format via "nid=" write commands (single, multiple, ranges)
  * Validate nodes and reject non-existent nodes using nodes_subset()
- Patch 3: Add page_owner_filter userspace tool
  * Manages per-fd filters via write() interface
  * Provides user-friendly command-line interface
  * Includes comprehensive input validation
- Patch 4: Document filter features and usage

Usage Example
=============

Using the page_owner_filter tool with per-fd filters:

    # ./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle -n "0,2-3" -o page_owner.txt

The tool opens /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner, sets filters via write(),
then reads the filtered output to the specified file (or stdout).

Sample print_mode output (showing handles only):

    Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x0(), pid 0, tgid 0 (swapper),
    ts 0 ns PFN 0x40000 type Unmovable Block 512 type Unmovable
    Flags 0x3fffe0000000000(node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)
    handle: 1048577

    Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x252000(__GFP_NOWARN|
    __GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_THISNODE), pid 0, tgid 0 (swapper),
    ts 0 ns PFN 0x40002 type Unmovable Block 512 type Unmovable
    Flags 0x23fffe0000000200(workingset|node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)
    handle: 1048577

Testing
=======

Tested on a 4-node NUMA system. Verified that:

1. **Kernel without page_owner enabled**:
   Tool properly detects and reports missing page_owner support:
   ```
   $ ./page_owner_filter -m stack
   Error: /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner does not exist
   Make sure page_owner is enabled in kernel
   ```

2. **Kernel without per-fd filter support**:
   Tool properly detects and reports missing filter support:
   ```
   $ ./page_owner_filter -m stack
   Error: Kernel rejected the filter command.
   Possible causes:
     - Kernel does not support per-fd filtering
     - NUMA node has no memory
     - Unknown reason
   ```

3. **Comprehensive userspace tool testing**:
   Tested 26 test cases covering:
   - Help messages (-h, --help)
   - Invalid inputs (mode, nid format, range validation)
   - Valid modes (stack, handle, stack_handle)
   - Valid nid filters (single node, multiple nodes, ranges)
   - Combined mode and nid filters
   - Node validity verification (grep-based verification)
   - Error handling for out-of-range nodes

Future Enhancements
===================

The per-fd filter infrastructure is designed to be extensible. Potential
future filters could include:
- PID/TGID filtering
- Time range filtering (allocation timestamp windows)
- GFP flag filtering
- Migration type filtering
