PATCH 1/1 Debugging: Keep track of page owners

From: [email protected] (Mel Gorman)

PAGE_OWNER tracks free pages by setting page->order to -1. However, it is set during __free_pages() which is not the only free path as __pagevec_free() and free_compound_page() do not go through __free_pages().
This leads to a situation where free pages are visible in page_owner
which is confusing and might be interpreted as a memory leak.

This patch sets page->owner when PageBuddy is set. It also prints a warning to the kernel log if a free page is found that does not appear free to PAGE_OWNER. This should be considered a fix to page-owner-tracking-leak-detector.patch.

This only applies to -mm as PAGE_OWNER is not in mainline.

DESC
Print out PAGE_OWNER statistics in relation to fragmentation avoidance EDESC
From: Mel Gorman <[email protected]>

When PAGE_OWNER is set, more information is available of relevance to fragmentation avoidance. A second line is added to 'page_owner' showing the PFN, the pageblock number, the mobility type of the page based on its allocation flags, whether the allocation is improperly placed and the flags. A sample entry looks like

Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x1280d2
PFN 7355 Block 7 type 3 Fallback Flags LA
[0xc01528c6] __handle_mm_fault+598
[0xc0320427] do_page_fault+279
[0xc031ed9a] error_code+114

This information can be used to identify pages that are improperly placed. As the format of PAGE_OWNER data is now different, the comment at the top of Documentation/page_owner.c is updated with new instructions.

As PAGE_OWNER tracks the GFP flags used to allocate the pages, /proc/pagetypeinfo is enhanced to contain how many mixed blocks exist. The additional output looks like

Number of mixed blocks Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserve

Node 0, zone      DMA            0            1            2            1
Node 0, zone   Normal            2           11           33            0

DESC
Allow PAGE_OWNER to be set on any architecture
EDESC
From: Mel Gorman <[email protected]>

Currently PAGE_OWNER depends on CONFIG_X86. This appears to be due to pfn_to_page() being called in an inappropriate for many memory models and the presense of memory holes. This patch ensures that pfn_valid() and pfn_valid_within() is called at the appropriate places and the offsets correctly updated so that PAGE_OWNER is safe on any architecture.

In situations where CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONES is set (IA64 with VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP), there may be cases where pages allocated within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages may not be displayed in 'page_owner' if the hole is at the start of the block. Addressing this would be quite complex, perform slowly and is of no clear benefit.

Once PAGE_OWNER is allowed on all architectures, the statistics for grouping pages by mobility that declare how many pageblocks contain mixed page types becomes optionally available on all arches.

This patch was tested successfully on x86, x86_64, ppc64 and IA64 machines.

DESC allow-page_owner-to-be-set-on-any-architecture-fix fix EDESC
From: [email protected] (Mel Gorman)

Page-owner-tracking stores the a backtrace of an allocation in the struct page. How the stack trace is generated depends on whether CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is set or not. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is set, the frame pointer must be read using some inline assembler which is not available for all architectures.

This patch uses the frame pointer where it is available but has a fallback where it is not.

Do you mean to ask why it's being modified at all here in this patch? It's referenced in the changelog a bit. I believe it came from Mel at some point. I didn't do much to that portion, but I happily drug those hunks along with my forward port. I believe it's virtually all the same as what you posted here:

I have cunningly divined the intention of your update and have queued the below incremental. The change to pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() was a surprise. What's that there for?

Quoted 7 lines

Do you mean to ask why it's being modified at all here in this patch? It's referenced in the changelog a bit. I believe it came from Mel at some point. I didn't do much to that portion, but I happily drug those hunks along with my forward port. I believe it's virtually all the same as what you posted here:

	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50181

I'm now deeply confused.

Two days ago I merged a version which you sent me. It is presently at
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/debugging-keep-track-of-page-owners.patch.

Today you sent a new version. My earlier email showed the difference between these two versions.

AFACIT that difference was undescribed. I can see that the new version uses the stack-tracing infrastructure, but the change to pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() is a mystery.

Ahhh, I assume you're talking about this hunk:

That was to fix the comment that Laura Abbott made about it miscounting MIGRATE_CMA pages.

My patch-sending scripts were choking a bit on the text description in your patch. I'm using a long-ago-forked copy of your patch-utils and the DESC/EDESC in the patch I imported is giving them fits when I send via email and stripping large parts of the description. I'm happy to resend via email, too, but here, the raw patch (will the full description):

https://www.sr71.net/~dave/linux/pageowner.patch

The important description that the scripts managed to strip out when emailed was this:

Updated 12/4/2012 - should apply to 3.7 kernels. I did a quick sniff-test to make sure that this boots and produces some sane output, but it's not been exhaustively tested.

* Moved file over to debugfs (no reason to keep polluting /proc)
* Now using generic stack tracking infrastructure
* Added check for MIGRATE_CMA pages to explicitly count them as movable.

The new snprint_stack_trace() probably belongs in its own patch if this were to get merged, but it won't kill anyone as it stands.

Can we stop putting code into Documentation? We have tools, samples and usr directories. I'm sure this could fit into one of them.
