Linux Virtualization - Jul 2015 - [RFCv3 0/5] enable migration of driver pages

From: Gioh Kim <gurugio at hanmail.net>

Hello,

This series try to enable migration of non-LRU pages, such as driver's page.

My ARM-based platform occured severe fragmentation problem after long-term
(several days) test. Sometimes even order-3 page allocation failed. It has
memory size 512MB ~ 1024MB. 30% ~ 40% memory is consumed for graphic processing
and 20~30 memory is reserved for zram.

I found that many pages of GPU driver and zram are non-movable pages. So I
reported Minchan Kim, the maintainer of zram, and he made the internal 
compaction logic of zram. And I made the internal compaction of GPU driver.

They reduced some fragmentation but they are not enough effective.
They are activated by its own interface, /sys, so they are not cooperative
with kernel compaction. If there is too much fragmentation and kernel starts
to compaction, zram and GPU driver cannot work with the kernel compaction.

This patch set combines 5 patches.

1. patch 1/5: get inode from anon_inodes
This patch adds new interface to create inode from anon_inodes.

2. patch 2/5: framework to isolate/migrate/putback page
Add isolatepage, putbackpage into address_space_operations
and wrapper function to call them

3. patch 3/5: apply the framework into balloon driver
The balloon driver is applied into the framework. It gets a inode
from anon_inodes and register operations in the inode.
Any other drivers can register operations via inode like this
to migrate it's pages.

4. patch 4/5: compaction/migration call the generic interfaces
Compaction and migration pages call the generic interfaces of the framework,
instead of calling balloon migration directly.

5. patch 5/5: remove direct calling of migration of driver pages
Non-lru pages are migrated with lru pages by move_to_new_page().

This patch set is tested:
- turn on Ubuntu 14.04 with 1G memory on qemu.
- do kernel building
- after several seconds check more than 512MB is used with free command
- command "balloon 512" in qemu monitor
- check hundreds MB of pages are migrated

My thanks to Konstantin Khlebnikov for his reviews of the v2 patch set.
Most of the changes were based on his feedback.

Changes since v2:
- change the name of page type from migratable page into mobile page
- get and lock page to isolate page
- add wrapper interfaces for page->mapping->a_ops->isolate/putback
- leave balloon pages marked as balloon

This patch-set is based on v4.1

The anon_inodes has already complete interfaces to create manage
many anonymous inodes but don't have interface to get
new inode. Other sub-modules can create anonymous inode
without creating and mounting it's own pseudo filesystem.

From: Gioh Kim <gurugio at hanmail.net>

Add framework to register callback functions and check page mobility.
There are some modes for page isolation so that isolate interface
has arguments of page address and isolation mode while putback
interface has only page address as argument.

Apply mobile page migration into balloon driver.
The balloong driver has an anonymous inode that manages
address_space_operation for page migration.

Migration is completely generalized so that migrating mobile page
is processed with lru-pages in move_to_new_page.

OK, but what happens if the balloon driver is not used to force
compaction?  Does your test machine successfully compact pages on
demand, so those order-3 allocations now succeed?

Why are your changes to the GPU driver not included in this patch series?

If any driver that has many pages like the balloon driver is forced to compact,
the system can get free high-order pages.

I have to show how this patch work with a driver existing in the kernel source,
for kernel developers' undestanding. So I selected the balloon driver
because it has already compaction and working with kernel compaction.
I can show how driver pages is compacted with lru-pages together.

Actually balloon driver is not best example to show how this patch compacts
pages.
The balloon driver compaction is decreasing page consumtion, for instance 1024MB
-> 512MB.
I think it is not compaction precisely. It frees pages.
Of course there will be many high-order pages after 512MB is freed.

My platform is ARM-based and GPU is ARM-Mali. The driver is not open source.
It's too bad that I cannot show effect of this patch with the GPU driver.

Order of cleanup here is not the reverse of the order of initialization.
Better make it exactly the reverse.


Also, I have a question: is it enough to lock the page to make changing
the mapping safe? Do all users lock the page too?

It seems "if (page->mapping &&

should be enough: we already seen that page as mobile.

call put_page() after unlock and do that always -- putback must drop
page reference from caller.

lock_page(page);
if (page->mapping && page->mapping->a_ops->putbackpage)
     page->mapping->a_ops->putbackpage(page);
unlock_page();

Both pages passed as arguments of ->migratepage() are locked.
So, please remove lock/unlock from this function here and add lock/unlock
newpage in __unmap_and_move() below. Right in this patch.
