* [PATCH 13/14] mm: Throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage

If swap is backed by network storage such as NBD, there is a risk
that a large number of reclaimers can hang the system by consuming
all PF_MEMALLOC reserves. To avoid these hangs, the administrator
must tune min_free_kbytes in advance. This patch will throttle direct
reclaimers if half the PF_MEMALLOC reserves are in use as the system
is at risk of hanging.

* [PATCH 14/14] mm: Account for the number of times direct reclaimers get throttled

Under significant pressure when writing back to network-backed storage,
direct reclaimers may get throttled. This is expected to be a
short-lived event and the processes get woken up again but processes do
get stalled. This patch counts how many times such stalling occurs. It's
up to the administrator whether to reduce these stalls by increasing
min_free_kbytes.

* [PATCH 12/14] nbd: Set SOCK_MEMALLOC for access to PFMEMALLOC reserves

Set SOCK_MEMALLOC on the NBD socket to allow access to PFMEMALLOC
reserves so pages backed by NBD, particularly if swap related, can
be cleaned to prevent the machine being deadlocked. It is still
possible that the PFMEMALLOC reserves get depleted resulting in
deadlock but this can be resolved by the administrator by increasing
min_free_kbytes.

Getting and putting objects in SLAB currently requires a function call
but the bulk of the work is related to PFMEMALLOC reserves which are
only consumed when network-backed storage is critical. Use an inline
function to determine if the function call is required.

In order to make sure pfmemalloc packets receive all memory
needed to proceed, ensure processing of pfmemalloc SKBs happens
under PF_MEMALLOC. This is limited to a subset of protocols that
are expected to be used for writing to swap. Taps are not allowed to
use PF_MEMALLOC as these are expected to communicate with userspace
processes which could be paged out.

The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab
allocation of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves
were used. If the packet is fragmented, it is possible that pages
will be allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating
this information to the skb. This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc
from pages allocated for fragments to the skb.

* [PATCH 08/14] netvm: Allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves

In-Reply-To: <1315565845-16857-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall
back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the
reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from
the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page
reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available
for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this
packet loss.

* [PATCH 07/14] netvm: Allow the use of __GFP_MEMALLOC by specific sockets
From: Mel Gorman @ 2011-09-09 10:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Andrew Morton
Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
Peter Zijlstra, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1315565845-16857-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
Allow specific sockets to be tagged SOCK_MEMALLOC and use
__GFP_MEMALLOC for their allocations. These sockets will be able to go
below watermarks and allocate from the emergency reserve. Such sockets
are to be used to service the VM (iow. to swap over). They must be
handled kernel side, exposing such a socket to user-space is a bug.
There is a risk that the reserves be depleted so for now, the
administrator is responsible for increasing min_free_kbytes as
necessary to prevent deadlock for their workloads.

* [PATCH 06/14] net: Introduce sk_allocation() to allow addition of GFP flags depending on the individual socket

In-Reply-To: <1315565845-16857-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
Introduce sk_allocation(), this function allows to inject sock specific
flags to each sock related allocation. It is only used on allocation
paths that may be required for writing pages back to network storage.

* [PATCH 05/14] mm: Ignore mempolicies when using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK

The reserve is proportionally distributed over all !highmem zones
in the system. So we need to allow an emergency allocation access to
all zones. In order to do that we need to break out of any mempolicy
boundaries we might have.
In my opinion that does not break mempolicies as those are user
oriented and not system oriented. That is, system allocations are
not guaranteed to be within mempolicy boundaries. For instance IRQs
do not even have a mempolicy.
So breaking out of mempolicy boundaries for 'rare' emergency
allocations, which are always system allocations (as opposed to user)
is ok.

* [PATCH 04/14] mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context
From: Mel Gorman @ 2011-09-09 10:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Andrew Morton
Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,
Peter Zijlstra, Mel Gorman
In-Reply-To: <1315565845-16857-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make
use of PF_MEMALLOC.
Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being
associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle
with - thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when
in interrupts (hard or soft) context.
Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some
trickery. We basically borrow the task flags from whatever process
happens to be preempted by the softirq.
So we modify the gfp to alloc flags mapping to not exclude task flags
in softirq context, and modify the softirq code to save, clear and
restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.
The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag
doesn't leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's
PF_MEMALLOC flag cannot leak back into the preempted process.

* [PATCH 03/14] mm: Introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves

In-Reply-To: <1315565845-16857-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
__GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks,
much like PF_MEMALLOC. It allows one to pass along the memalloc state
in object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags,
such as sk->sk_allocation. This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC
as callers using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag
which is now enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.

* [PATCH 02/14] mm: sl[au]b: Add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages
From: Mel Gorman @ 2011-09-09 10:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Andrew Morton
Cc: Linux-MM, Linux-Netdev, LKML, David Miller, Neil Brown,

In-Reply-To: <1315565845-16857-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the
machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only
callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing
an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once
they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers
consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access
to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves.
Pages allocated from the reserve are returned with page->pfmemalloc
set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be
protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set
to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If
one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather
than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records
if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and
uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary
GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to
avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB.
In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators
can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available
because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

* [PATCH 01/14] mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes

To: Andrew Morton

In-Reply-To: <1315565845-16857-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
There is a race between the min_free_kbytes sysctl, memory hotplug
and transparent hugepage support enablement. Memory hotplug uses a
zonelists_mutex to avoid a race when building zonelists. Reuse it to
serialise watermark updates.
[a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl: Older patch fixed the race with spinlock]

When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate
it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in
diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers
are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance
costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients.
The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the
Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download
. There is also documentation and tutorials
on how to setup swap over NBD at places like
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP . The
nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the
fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes
if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem.
The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools
like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they
receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how
much memory they might need.
Some years ago, Peter Ziljstra developed a series of patches that
supported swap over an NFS that some distributions are carrying in
their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's
work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting
swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving
memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the
network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS.
Patch 1 serialises access to min_free_kbytes. It's not strictly needed
by this series but as the series cares about watermarks in
general, it's a harmless fix. It could be merged independently.
Patch 2 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to
preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations
to callers that are freeying memory.
Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC
reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC.
Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves
for later use by network packet processing.
Patch 5 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set.
Patches 6-10 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when
the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean
pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were
allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to
the VM, the packets are dropped.
Patch 11 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the
common case.
Patch 12 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use
PFMEMALLOC if necessary.
Patch 13 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve
to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get
throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are
depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers
already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark
to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up.
Patch 14 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled
Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf
on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone
and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators
reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant
performance variances. Here is the results from netperf using
slab as an example

Time to completion varied a lot but this can happen with netperf as
it tries to find results within a sufficiently high confidence. There
were some small gains and losses but they are close to the variances
seen between kernel releases.
For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a
swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create
anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total
size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under
memory pressure. Without the patches, the machine locks up within
minutes and runs to completion with them applied.

I wouldn't have a problem with that. But currently the binding
documentation says that any value other than 4, or a missing property,
implies 16-bit register access.
So the binding documentation would need to change too in that case.
Personally I think this would be better, but it's just an opinion.

Here is the patch to address this point.
Apply it after (af_unix: Fix use-after-free crashes)
I can make a combo patch once everybody agrees.
[PATCH net-next] af_unix: fix use after free in unix_stream_recvmsg()
Commit 0856a30409 (Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & credential references
in Unix socket's send and receive path) introduced an use-after-free
bug in unix_stream_recvmsg().
We should call consume_skb(skb) only after our possible use of pid/cred.

Hmm, some Ignored I was expecting to see even when nothing was wrong but I

Now we have to fix a bug in unix_stream_recvmsg() as well.
consume_skb() call actually releases pid/cred references, and we can use
them after their eventual freeing.
Keep also in mind that receiver can provides a too short user buffer,
and skb can be put back to head of sk_receive_queue
Tim, your 0856a304091b33 commit introduced a lot of bugs, I was right
asking a revert.
If we revert your patch, my litle patch (af_unix: dont send
SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) is enough to solve performance problems.

This happens after userspace thread gets woken up and data
is copied there. So relying on filtering at that level is
going to be very inefficient on a system with
multiple active guests. Further, and for that reason, vhost-net
doesn't do filtering at all, relying on the backends
to pass it correct packets.

Please send :

rtstat -c10 -i1
This a very well known problem. You need to upgrade your kernel in order
to avoid very complex tuning of your IP route cache.
Recent ones have smooth garbage collection.
In the meantime, you can tune a bit :
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval
echo 4 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_elasticity

[PATCH net-next] af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default
Since commit 7361c36c5224 (af_unix: Allow credentials to work across
user and pid namespaces) af_unix performance dropped a lot.
This is because we now take a reference on pid and cred in each write(),
and release them in read(), usually done from another process,
eventually from another cpu. This triggers false sharing.

This patch includes SCM_CREDENTIALS information in a af_unix message/skb
only if requested by the sender, [man 7 unix for details how to include
ancillary data using sendmsg() system call]
Note: This might break buggy applications that expected SCM_CREDENTIAL
from an unaware write() system call.

* Memory leak in ip_dst_cache
From: Kumar S @ 2011-09-09 5:04 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Hi,
We are running Linux-2.6.24 kernel on MPC8360. Though forwarding is disabled, when connected to public network we see the system running out of memory and rebooting frequently. After doing some study we found out slowly "ip_dst-cache" is growing, and doesn't release entries. Interestingly route entries displayed with command "ip route ls cache" show fewer than the active objects listed under "cat /proc/slabinfo | grep ip_dst_cache". After doing some study, we could reproduce it in the lab by injecting packets withdifferent source IP addresses. Ideally ageing should happen, and old entries are supposed to be cleared out, but that doesn't happen. We do see one or two entries getting agedout but not all.
After some time we did see that "rt_run_flush" kicks in and flushes out the ip_dst_cache. That's why the "ip route ls cache" fewer entries. But looks like __chache_free() doesn't get called, that's why these entries are not really released. This results in the leak.
Any idea what is going wrong here. Is it a known bug?
Regards
psk

Does your NIC & driver support adding multiple mac addresses to a VF?
I have tried a few other SR-IOV NICs sometime back and they didn't
support this feature.
Currently, we don't have an interface to add multiple mac addresses to a
netdev other than an
indirect way of creating a macvlan /if on top of it.

Maybe we can search acks from eric about this one
specifically prior to merging, but I'd still like it to be part of
the whole. It will put us in a weird state if this is merged, and
the rest is not.

Yes, you are right. I will move back to the old way of doing it.

It is part of the "it was there
before" bundle.
It is defined as long not only for tcp, but for all of the
equivalents sysctl as well. So no reason to touch it, at least not
in this series =)

It ended up being changed in another patch, and I missed the right
split.
Thank you, I will reorder it so it gets changed correctly.
