[RFC v2 PATCH 2/2] mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem for large mapping

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When running some mmap/munmap scalability tests with large memory (i.e.
> 300GB), the below hung task issue may happen occasionally.

It is because munmap holds mmap_sem from very beginning to all the way
down to the end, and doesn't release it in the middle. When unmapping
large mapping, it may take long time (take ~18 seconds to unmap 320GB
mapping with every single page mapped on an idle machine).

Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the
suggestion from Michal Hock [1], zapping pages can be done with holding
read mmap_sem, like what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write
mmap_sem to manipulate vmas.

Define large mapping size thresh as PUD size or 1GB, just zap pages with
read mmap_sem for mappings which are >= thresh value.

If the vma has VM_LOCKED | VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP or uprobe, then just
fallback to regular path since unmapping those mappings need acquire
write mmap_sem.

For the time being, just do this in munmap syscall path. Other
vm_munmap() or do_munmap() call sites remain intact since it sounds the
complexity to handle race conditions outpace the benefits.

The below is some regression and performance data collected on a machine
with 32 cores of E5-2680 @ 2.70GHz and 384GB memory.

With the patched kernel, write mmap_sem hold time is dropped to us level
from second.

Throughput of page faults (#/s) with the below stress-ng test:
stress-ng --mmap 0 --mmap-bytes 80G --mmap-file --metrics --perf
--timeout 600s
        pristine         patched          delta
       89.41K/sec       97.29K/sec        +8.8%
