Direct Migration V4: Overview
Subsystems (12)
cover Direct Migration V4: Overview
Changes V3->V4:
- Patchset against 2.6.15-rc1-mm2 + two swap migration fixes posted today.
- Remove what is already in 2.6.14-rc1-mm2 which results in a significant cleanup of the code.
Changes V2->V3:
- Patchset against 2.6.14-mm2
- Fix single processor build and builds without CONFIG_MIGRATION
- export symbols for filesystems that are modules and for modules using migrate_pages().
- Paul Jackson's cpuset migration support is in 2.6.14-mm2 so this patchset can be easily applied to -mm2 to get from swap based to direct page migration.
Changes V1->V2:
- Call node_remap with the right parameters in do_migrate_pages().
- Take radix tree lock while examining page count to avoid races with find_get_page() and various *_get_pages based on it.
- Convert direct ptes to swap ptes before radix tree update to avoid more races.
- Fix problem if CONFIG_MIGRATION is off for buffer_migrate_page
- Add documentation about page migration
- Change migrate_pages() api so that the caller can decide what to do about the migrated pages (badmem handling and hotplug have to remove those pages for good).
- Drop config patch (already in mm)
- Add try_to_unmap patch
- Patchset now against 2.6.14-mm1 without requiring additional patches.
Note that the page migration here is different from the one of the memory hotplug project. Pages are migrated in order to improve performance. A best effort is made to migrate all pages that are in use by user space and that are swappable. If a couple of pages are not moved then the performance of a process will not increase as much as wanted but the application will continue to function properly.
Much of the ideas for this code were originally developed in the memory hotplug project and we hope that this code also will allow the hotplug project to build on this patch in order to get to their goals. We also would like to be able to move bad memory at SGI which is likely something that will also be based on this patchset.
I am very thankful for the support of the hotplug developers for bringing this patchset about. The migration of kernel pages, slab pages and other unswappable pages that is also needed by the hotplug project and for the remapping of bad memory is likely to require a significant amount of additional changes to the Linux kernel beyond the scope of this page migration endeavor.
Page migration can be triggered via:
A. Specifying MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) when setting a new policy
for a range of addresses of a process.
B. Calling sys_migrate_pages() to control the location of the pages of
another process. Pages may migrate back through swapping if memory policies, cpuset nodes and the node on which the process is executing are not changed by other means.
sys_migrate_pages() may be particularly useful to move the pages of a process if the scheduler has shifted the execution of a process to a different node.
C. Changing the cpuset of a task (moving tasks to another cpuset or modifying
its set of allowed nodes) if a special option is set in the cpuset. The cpuset code will call into the page migration layer in order to move the process to its new environment. This is the preferred and easiest method to use page migration. Thanks to Paul Jackson for realizing this functionality.
The patchset consists of six patches (only the first two are necessary to have basic direct migration support):
1. SwapCache patch
SwapCache pages may have changed their type after lock_page(). Check for this and retry lookup if the page is no longer a SwapCache page.
2. migrate_pages()
Basic direct migration with fallback to swap if all other attempts fail.
3. remove_from_swap()
Page migration installs swap ptes for anonymous pages in order to preserve the information contained in the page tables. This patch removes the swap ptes and replaces them with real ones after migration.
4. upgrade of MPOL_MF_MOVE and sys_migrate_pages()
Add logic to mm/mempolicy.c to allow the policy layer to control direct page migration. Thanks to Paul Jackson for the interative logic to move between sets of nodes.
5. buffer_migrate_pages() patch
Allow migration without writing back dirty pages. Add filesystem dependent migration support for ext2/ext3 and xfs. Use swapper space to setup a method to migrate anonymous pages without writeback.
6. try_unmap patch
Allows to distinguish between permanent failure conditions and transient conditions that may go away after a retry.
Credits (also in mm/vmscan.c):
The idea for this scheme of page migration was first developed in the context of the memory hotplug project. The main authors of the migration code from the memory hotplug project are:
IWAMOTO Toshihiro <[email protected]>
Hirokazu Takahashi <[email protected]>
Dave Hansen <[email protected]>
PATCH 1/6 Direct Migration V4: PageSwapCache checks
Check for PageSwapCache after looking up and locking a swap page.
The page migration code may change a swap pte to point to a different page under lock_page().
If that happens then the vm must retry the lookup operation in the swap space to find the correct page number. There are a couple of locations in the VM where a lock_page() is done on a swap page. In these locations we need to check afterwards if the page was migrated. If the page was migrated then the old page that was looked up before was freed and no longer has the PageSwapCache bit set.

PATCH 2/6 Direct Migration V4: migrate_pages() extension
In reply to Christoph LameterAdd direct migration support with fall back to swap.
Direct migration support on top of the swap based page migration facility.
This allows the direct migration of anonymous pages and the migration of file backed pages by dropping the associated buffers (requires writeout).
Fall back to swap out if necessary.
The patch is based on lots of patches from the hotplug project but the code was restructured, documented and simplified as much as possible.
Note that an additional patch that defines the migrate_page() method for filesystems is necessary in order to avoid writeback for anonymous and file backed pages.
V3-V4:
- Remove components already in the swap migration patch
V1->V2:
- Change migrate_pages() so that it can return pagelist for failed and moved pages. No longer free the old pages but allow caller to dispose of them.
- Unmap pages before changing reverse map under tree lock. Take a write_lock instead of a read_lock.
- Add documentation

PATCH 3/6 Direct Migration V4: remove_from_swap() to remove swap ptes

remove_from_swap() allows the restoration of the pte entries that existed before page migration occurred for anonymous pages by walking the reverse maps. This reduces swap use and establishes regular pte's without the need for page faults.

PATCH 5/6 Direct Migration V4: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() method
In reply to Christoph LameterMigrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback
This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.
A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.
The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).
V2->V3:
- export functions for filesystems that are modules and for modules that perform migration by calling migrate_pages().
- Fix macro name clash. Fix build on UP and systems without CONFIG_MIGRATION
V1->V2:
- Fix CONFIG_MIGRATION handling
