Initially I was uncomfortable with it for largely aesthetic reasons. page_add_new_anon_rmap() is a cut-some-corners fast-path collection of rmap and lru stuff for the common case, the first time a page is added. If what it does is not suitable for the unusual case of page migration, then we should not clutter it up with additional tests, but adjust migration to use the slower page_add_anon_rmap() instead. Or, if there turns out to be some really good reason to stick with page_add_new_anon_rmap(), add an inline comment to explain why this additional !PageUnevictable test (never needed before) is needed now. Note that the call from migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() is the only use of page_add_new_anon_rmap() in mm/migrate.c: I think it's a mistake, and should use page_add_anon_rmap() plus putback_lru_page() like elsewhere in migrate.c. Beware, I've not written, let alone tested, a patch to do so: maybe more is needed. In particular, it's unclear whether Mel intended the SetPageActive that comes bundled up in page_add_new_anon_rmap(), when normally migration just transfers PageActive state from old to new. I went through a phase of thinking your patch is downright wrong, that in the racy case it puts a recently-become-evictable page back to the unevictable lru. Currently I believe I was wrong about that, the page lock (on old page) or mmap_sem preventing that possibility. (Yet now I'm wavering again: if down_write mmap_sem is needed to munlock() the vma, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() is only migrating a singly-mapped THP under down_read mmap_sem, how could VM_LOCKED have changed during the migration? I've lost sight of how we got to hit the BUG altogether, maybe I'm just too tired.) Even so, I'd be much more comfortable with a page_add_anon_rmap() plus putback_lru_page() approach; but we probably need Mel to explain why he chose not to do it that way (my guess is it just seemed simpler this way, relying on the singly-mapped aspect), and someone to explain again how we hit the BUG.

Andrew, if Bob agrees, please drop mm-rmap-dont-try-to-add-an-unevictable-page-to-lru-list.patch from mmotm now. We have not heard any such report yet on 3.15-rc, and neither Bob nor I have yet come up with a convincing explanation for how it came about. It's tempting to suppose it was a side-effect of something temporarily wrong on a 3.14-next, and now okay; but we'll learn more quickly whether that's so if mmotm stops working around it.

* [PATCH] mm: numa: Add migrated transhuge pages to LRU the same way as base pages 2014-04-05 9:04 ` Hugh Dickins 2014-04-08 8:58 ` Bob Liu @ 2014-04-24 15:39 ` Mel Gorman 2014-04-24 19:48 ` Hugh Dickins 1 sibling, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Mel Gorman @ 2014-04-24 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Andrew Morton; +Cc: riel, sasha.levin, Bob Liu, Hugh Dickins, Linux-MM, LKML Migration of misplaced transhuge pages uses page_add_new_anon_rmap() when putting the page back as it avoided an atomic operations and added the new page to the correct LRU. A side-effect is that the page gets marked activated as part of the migration meaning that transhuge and base pages are treated differently from an aging perspective than base page migration. This patch uses page_add_anon_rmap() and putback_lru_page() on completion of a transhuge migration similar to base page migration. It would fewer atomic operations to use lru_cache_add without taking an additional reference to the page. The downside would be that it's still different to base page migration and unevictable pages may be added to the wrong LRU for cleaning up later. Testing of the usual workloads did not show any adverse impact to the change.

I worried for a bit that you are doing the putback while holding page lock; but this is not the only place where that's done (page_remove_rmap may clear_page_mlock though called under page lock), so no good reason to ask for a change there. > --- > mm/migrate.c | 6 +++++- > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/mm/migrate.c b/mm/migrate.c > index bed4880..6247be7 100644 > --- a/mm/migrate.c > +++ b/mm/migrate.c > @@ -1852,7 +1852,7 @@ fail_putback: > * guarantee the copy is visible before the pagetable update. > */ > flush_cache_range(vma, mmun_start, mmun_end); > - page_add_new_anon_rmap(new_page, vma, mmun_start); > + page_add_anon_rmap(new_page, vma, mmun_start); > pmdp_clear_flush(vma, mmun_start, pmd); > set_pmd_at(mm, mmun_start, pmd, entry); > flush_tlb_range(vma, mmun_start, mmun_end); > @@ -1877,6 +1877,10 @@ fail_putback: > spin_unlock(ptl); > mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end); > > + /* Take an "isolate" reference and put new page on the LRU. */ > + get_page(new_page); > + putback_lru_page(new_page); > + > unlock_page(new_page); > unlock_page(page); > put_page(page); /* Drop the rmap reference */ > -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
