[PATCH 21/24] huge tmpfs: fix Mlocked meminfo, tracking huge and unhuge mlocks

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Fri Feb 20 2015 - 23:25:28 EST


Up to this point, the huge tmpfs effort hasn't looked at or touched
mm/mlock.c at all, and it was surprising that regular tests did not
therefore crash machines.

/proc/meminfo's Mlocked count has been whatever happens to be shown
if we do nothing extra: a hugely mapped and mlocked team page would
count as 4kB instead of the 2MB you'd expect; or at least until the
previous (Unevictable) patch, which now requires lruvec locking for
hpage_nr_pages() on a team page (locking not given it in mlock.c),
and varies the amount returned by hpage_nr_pages().

It would be easy to correct the 4kB or variable amount to 2MB
by using an alternative to hpage_nr_pages() here. And it would be
fairly easy to maintain an entirely independent HugelyMlocked count,
such that Mlocked+HugelyMlocked might amount to (almost) twice RAM
size. But is that what observers of Mlocked want? Probably not.

So we need a huge pmd mlock to count as 2MB, but discount 4kB for
each page within it that is already mlocked by pte somewhere, in
this or another process; and a small pte mlock to count usually as
4kB, but 0 if the team head is already mlocked by pmd somewhere.

Can this be done by maintaining extra counts per team? I did
intend so, but (a) space in team_usage is limited, and (b) mlock
and munlock already involve slow LRU switching, so might as well
keep 4kB and 2MB in synch manually; but most significantly (c) the
trylocking around which mlock (and restoration of mlock in munlock)
is currently designed, makes it hard to work out just when a count
does need to be incremented.

The hard-won solution looks much simpler than I thought possible,
but an odd interface in its current implementation. Not so much
needed changing, mainly just clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page()
munlock_vma_page() and try_to_"unmap"_one(). The big difference
from before, is that a team head page might be being mlocked as a
4kB page or as a 2MB page, and the called functions cannot tell:
so now need an nr_pages argument. But odd because the PageTeam
case immediately converts that to an iteration count, whereas
the anon THP case keeps it as the weight for a single iteration.
Not very nice, but will do for now: it was so hard to get here,
I'm very reluctant to pull it apart in a hurry.

The TEAM_HUGELY_MLOCKED flag in team_usage does not play a large part,
just optimizes out the overhead in a couple of cases: we don't want to
make yet another pass down the team, whenever a team is last unmapped,
just to handle the unlikely mlocked-then-truncated case; and we don't
want munlocking one of many parallel huge mlocks to check every page.

Notes in passing: Wouldn't mlock and munlock be better off using
proper anon_vma and i_mmap_rwsem locking, instead of the current page
and mmap_sem trylocking? And if try_to_munlock() was crying out for
its own rmap walk before, instead of abusing try_to_unuse(), now it
is screaming for it. But I haven't the time for such cleanups now,
and may be mistaken.
