From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On a long run of more than 2-3 days, physical memory tends to get fragmented severely, which considerably slows down the system. In such a scenario, the shrinker is also unable to help as lack of memory is not the actual problem, since it has been observed that there are enough free pages of 0 order. This also manifests itself when an indiviual zone in the mm runs out of pages and if we cannot migrate pages between zones, the kernel hits an out-of-memory even though there are free pages (and often all of swap) available. To address the issue of external fragementation, kernel does a compaction (which involves migration of pages) but it's efficacy depends upon how many pages are marked as MOVABLE, as only those pages can be migrated. Currently the backing pages for GPU buffers are allocated from shmemfs with GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, in units of 4KB pages. In the case of limited swap space, it may not be possible always to reclaim or swap-out pages of all the inactive objects, to make way for free space allowing formation of higher order groups of physically-contiguous pages on compaction. Just marking the GPU pages as MOVABLE will not suffice, as i915.ko has to pin the pages if they are in use by GPU, which will prevent their migration. So the migratepage callback in shmem is also hooked up to get a notification when kernel initiates the page migration. On the notification, i915.ko appropriately unpin the pages. With this we can effectively mark the GPU pages as MOVABLE and hence mitigate the fragmentation problem. v2: - Rename the migration routine to gem_shrink_migratepage, move it to the shrinker file, and use the existing constructs (Chris) - To cleanup, add a new helper function to encapsulate all page migration skip conditions (Chris) - Add a new local helper function in shrinker file, for dropping the backing pages, and call the same from gem_shrink() also (Chris) v3: - Fix/invert the check on the return value of unsafe_drop_pages (Chris) v4: - Minor tidy v5: - Fix unsafe usage of unsafe_drop_pages() - Rebase onto vmap-notifier Testcase: igt/gem_shrink Bugzilla: (e.g.) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90254 Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sourab Gupta <sourab.gupta@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Akash Goel <akash.goel@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h | 2 + drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c | 9 ++- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_shrinker.c | 134 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 144 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h index 4735b417..7f2717b 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h @@ -1357,6 +1357,8 @@ struct intel_l3_parity { }; struct i915_gem_mm { + struct shmem_dev_info shmem_info; + /** Memory allocator for GTT stolen memory */ struct drm_mm stolen; /** Protects the usage of the GTT stolen memory allocator.
