[patch 17/21] non-reclaimable mlocked pages

From: Rik van Riel
Date: Thu Feb 28 2008 - 14:46:18 EST


V2 -> V3:
+ rebase to 23-mm1 atop RvR's split lru series
+ fix page flags macros for *PageMlocked() when not configured.
+ ensure lru_add_drain_all() runs on all cpus when NORECLIM_MLOCK
configured. Was just for NUMA.

V1 -> V2:
+ moved this patch [and related patches] up to right after
ramdisk/ramfs and SHM_LOCKed patches.
+ add [back] missing put_page() in putback_lru_page().
This solved page leakage as seen by stats in previous
version.
+ fix up munlock_vma_page() to isolate page from lru
before calling try_to_unlock(). Think I detected a
race here.
+ use TestClearPageMlock() on old page in migrate.c's
migrate_page_copy() to clean up old page.
+ live dangerously: remove TestSetPageLocked() in
is_mlocked_vma()--should only be called on new pages in
the fault path--iff we chose to cull there [later patch].
+ Add PG_mlocked to free_pages_check() etc to detect mlock
state mismanagement.
NOTE: temporarily [???] commented out--tripping over it
under load. Why?

Rework of a patch by Nick Piggin -- part 1 of 2.

This patch:

1) defines the [CONFIG_]NORECLAIM_MLOCK sub-option and the
stub version of the mlock/noreclaim APIs when it's
not configured. Depends on [CONFIG_]NORECLAIM.

2) add yet another page flag--PG_mlocked--to indicate that
the page is locked for efficient testing in vmscan and,
optionally, fault path. This allows early culling of
nonreclaimable pages, preventing them from getting to
page_referenced()/try_to_unmap(). Also allows separate
accounting of mlock'd pages, as Nick's original patch
did.

Uses a bit available only to 64-bit systems.

Note: Nick's original mlock patch used a PG_mlocked
flag. I had removed this in favor of the PG_noreclaim
flag + an mlock_count [new page struct member]. I
restored the PG_mlocked flag to eliminate the new
count field.

3) add the mlock/noreclaim infrastructure to mm/mlock.c,
with internal APIs in mm/internal.h. This is a rework
of Nick's original patch to these files, taking into
account that mlocked pages are now kept on noreclaim
LRU list.

4) update vmscan.c:page_reclaimable() to check PageMlocked()
and, if vma passed in, the vm_flags. Note that the vma
will only be passed in for new pages in the fault path;
and then only if the "cull nonreclaimable pages in fault
path" patch is included.

5) add try_to_unlock() to rmap.c to walk a page's rmap and
ClearPageMlocked() if no other vmas have it mlocked.
Reuses as much of try_to_unmap() as possible. This
effectively replaces the use of one of the lru list links
as an mlock count. If this mechanism let's pages in mlocked
vmas leak through w/o PG_mlocked set [I don't know that it
does], we should catch them later in try_to_unmap(). One
hopes this will be rare, as it will be relatively expensive.

mm/internal.h and mm/mlock.c changes:
