  • linux伙伴系统接口alloc_page分析1

    在内核中分配内存,最后要通过伙伴系统接口进行实际物理页面的分配,一个重要的接口便是alloc_page.本文介绍下alloc_page的主要流程,各个部分的执行。主要包含正常分配流程,当页面不足的时候的处理方式。先定位到核心调用

    #define alloc_page(gfp_mask) alloc_pages(gfp_mask, 0)

    order是分配页面的阶,即2的指数个页面

    #define alloc_pages(gfp_mask, order) 
            alloc_pages_node(numa_node_id(), gfp_mask, order)

    nid指定了从哪个NUMA节点分配页面,如果没有指定节点,则默认从当前节点分配

    static inline struct page *alloc_pages_node(int nid, gfp_t gfp_mask,
                            unsigned int order)
    {
        /* Unknown node is current node */
        /*如果没有指定node ,则从当前node分配*/
        if (nid < 0)
            nid = numa_node_id();
    
        return __alloc_pages(gfp_mask, order, node_zonelist(nid, gfp_mask));
    }

    zonelist是一组zone的列表,有两种,局部的和全局的。局部zonelist只包含本节点的zone,全局的包含所有节点的zone。下篇文章会详细介绍这些数据结构

    static inline struct page *
    __alloc_pages(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order,
            struct zonelist *zonelist)
    {
        return __alloc_pages_nodemask(gfp_mask, order, zonelist, NULL);
    }

    到了__alloc_pages_nodemask就进入了比较正式的流程了,拨开来讲,本函数主要包含两步:

    1、直接分配

    2、分配失败选择另一种方式即slowpath继续处理.

    首次尝试分配是调用了static struct page *get_page_from_freelist(gfp_t gfp_mask, nodemask_t *nodemask, unsigned int order,struct zonelist *zonelist, int high_zoneidx, int alloc_flags,struct zone *preferred_zone, int migratetype),核心机制就是遍历zonelist上的zone,找到一个page.函数代码倒是没什么可说的,比较容易理解,这里主要看下涉及到的几个机制。该函数主要实现功能:1、在zonelist中找到一个合适的zone 2、从zone中分配页面。前者由一个循环体完成,后者由static inline struct page *buffered_rmqueue(struct zone *preferred_zone,struct zone *zone, int order, gfp_t gfp_flags,int migratetype)完成。

     在选定zone的阶段,在正常情况下需要进行一系列的验证,保证当前zone有足够的可用页面供分配。那么什么是非正常情况呢?即使携带ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS标识的,所以这里就分为两种情况。这里涉及到一个watermark,俗称分配水位,水位有三种

    • #define ALLOC_WMARK_MIN WMARK_MIN
    • #define ALLOC_WMARK_LOW WMARK_LOW
    • #define ALLOC_WMARK_HIGH WMARK_HIGH

     在分配之前一般会指定满足那个水位才允许分配,或者不管水位直接分配,这就对应ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS标识。在zone结构中,有vm_stat字段,是一个数组,记录各个状态的页面的数量,其中就包含空闲页面,对应NR_FREE_PAGES,携带watermark标识的分配,需要验证空闲页面是否大于对应的水位,只有在大于水位了才允许分配,否则需要根据情况对页面进行回收reclaim,如果无法回收或者回收后仍然不满足条件,则直接返回了。在一些急迫的事务中,可以指定ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS,这样会不会对水位进行验证,直接调用buffered_rmqueue分配页面。

    buffered_rmqueue并不直接从伙伴系统分配,为了加速分配流程,每个CPU也会维护页框高速缓存,通过per_cpu_pageset管理

    struct per_cpu_pageset {
        struct per_cpu_pages pcp;
    #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
        s8 expire;
    #endif
    #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
        s8 stat_threshold;
        s8 vm_stat_diff[NR_VM_ZONE_STAT_ITEMS];
    #endif
    };

    其中pcp维护了各种性质的页面链表,性质基本是根据可移动性来决定的。

    struct per_cpu_pages {
        int count;        /* number of pages in the list */
        int high;        /* high watermark, emptying needed */
        int batch;        /* chunk size for buddy add/remove */
    
        /* Lists of pages, one per migrate type stored on the pcp-lists */
        /*链表数组,每个迁移类型维护一个数组*/
        /*MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE,
        MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE,
        MIGRATE_MOVABLE,
        MIGRATE_PCPTYPES,    // the number of types on the pcp lists 
        MIGRATE_RESERVE*/
        struct list_head lists[MIGRATE_PCPTYPES];
    };

    count链表中所有页面的数量,high和清空相关,而batch是当缓存不足时,每次从伙伴系统申请多少页面填充进来。

    核心分配逻辑如下:

        if (likely(order == 0)) {
            struct per_cpu_pages *pcp;
            struct list_head *list;
    
            local_irq_save(flags);
            /*页框高速缓存*/
            pcp = &this_cpu_ptr(zone->pageset)->pcp;
            /*获取缓存链表*/
            list = &pcp->lists[migratetype];
            /*如果链表为空*/
            if (list_empty(list)) {
                /*尝试从伙伴系统填充链表*/
                pcp->count += rmqueue_bulk(zone, 0,
                        pcp->batch, list,
                        migratetype, cold);
                /*如果依然为空,则失败*/
                if (unlikely(list_empty(list)))
                    goto failed;
            }
            /*list是双链表,如果cold为真就从表尾部分配,否则从表头分配*/
            if (cold)
                page = list_entry(list->prev, struct page, lru);
            else
                page = list_entry(list->next, struct page, lru);
            /*页面从链表删除*/
            list_del(&page->lru);
            pcp->count--;
        }

     该函数主要是在首次分配失败的情况下,采取的补救解决方案。由于首次分配的失败,要么是缓存不足,要么是真没有剩余的空闲页面了。那么我们还能怎么办?大家可能都能想到,回收内存呗!!不错,回收内存的确是当前最主要的解决思路,看下代码,在__alloc_pages_slowpath函数中,首次的调用便是wake_all_kswapd,kswapd都晓得伐,负责物理页面的换出的,定期执行以保证物理页面的实时可用性,但是毕竟是定期执行,不能保证任何时刻都有充足的内存使用,所以这里尝试唤醒所有的kswapd守护进程进行物理页面的回收。而物理页面的回收涉及了更多的东西,本文不打算深入,后续有空在单独分析。到这里已经唤醒了后台的回收线程,Ok,重新尝试下分配,继续调用get_page_from_freelist,不过此时着重设置了一个参数,alloc_flags & ~ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS即本次尝试一定要符合水位的情况,不要求特殊处理。这样如果分配得到页面,就大功告成。如果还是没有分配到,好吧,降低要求,允许忽略水位限制,调用__alloc_pages_high_priority进行分配。到这里,如果还没有分配到怎么办?判断wait标识,如果允许等待,则接着往下走;否则返回分配失败吧!没办法

    接下来既然回收页面也不行,那么我不换出页面,把内存中的页面进行适当压缩总可以吧!!恩~总算中和了双方,调用了__alloc_pages_direct_compact,额,压缩页面是最后一个解决方案了,如果在不行可真是山穷水尽了,这样里OOM就不远了……

    该函数主要分两步:

    1、压缩区域内的页面try_to_compact_pages

    2、尝试分配页面 get_page_from_freelist

    分配页面前面已经介绍,这里就不用在多说了,重点看try_to_compact_pages,该函数会按照zonelist中的顺序对各个zone进行压缩,核心逻辑看下

    for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask(zone, z, zonelist, high_zoneidx,
                                    nodemask) {
            int status;
    
            status = compact_zone_order(zone, order, gfp_mask, sync,
                            contended);
            rc = max(status, rc);
    
            /* If a normal allocation would succeed, stop compacting */
            if (zone_watermark_ok(zone, order, low_wmark_pages(zone), 0,
                          alloc_flags))
                break;
        }

    主要是compact_zone_order

    static unsigned long compact_zone_order(struct zone *zone,
                     int order, gfp_t gfp_mask,
                     bool sync, bool *contended)
    {
        unsigned long ret;
        /*压缩控制器*/
        struct compact_control cc = {
            .nr_freepages = 0,
            .nr_migratepages = 0,
            .order = order,
            .migratetype = allocflags_to_migratetype(gfp_mask),
            .zone = zone,
            .sync = sync,
        };
        INIT_LIST_HEAD(&cc.freepages);
        INIT_LIST_HEAD(&cc.migratepages);
        /*执行压缩*/
        ret = compact_zone(zone, &cc);
    
        VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc.freepages));
        VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc.migratepages));
    
        *contended = cc.contended;
        return ret;
    }

    这里有一个结构,姑且称之为压缩控制器,记录压缩过程中需要的一些参数,设置好后又调用了compact_zone,该函数不在列举,感兴趣的参考源代码compaction.c,在该函数中,首先调用了compaction_suitable检查下当前zone是否有压缩的潜质,即通过压缩是否可以达到要求,如果可以就执行压缩,否则,呵呵……忽略吧!该函数返回三种值:

    COMPACT_SKIPPED - If there are too few free pages for compaction
    COMPACT_PARTIAL - If the allocation would succeed without compaction
    COMPACT_CONTINUE - If compaction should run now*/

    解释的比较明确,我就不多说了,唯一的一点是COMPACT_PARTIAL既然表示在不压缩的情况下也可以分配成功,为何不直接返回成功,然后尝试分配呢?还要走到下面的流程,真实捉急……根据上面的解释可能大家也都明白了,这里压缩并不是把几个页面压缩成一个页面,本质还是整理碎片,把可移动的页面尽量安排在一处,腾出来比较大的连续空间,这样增加满足需求的可能性。接下来就该执行压缩了,在此之前设置了压缩控制器的一些参数,所以有必要看下该结构

    struct compact_control {
        struct list_head freepages;    /* List of free pages to migrate to */
        struct list_head migratepages;    /* List of pages being migrated */
        unsigned long nr_freepages;    /* Number of isolated free pages */
        unsigned long nr_migratepages;    /* Number of pages to migrate */
        unsigned long free_pfn;        /* isolate_freepages search base */
        unsigned long migrate_pfn;    /* isolate_migratepages search base */
        bool sync;            /* Synchronous migration */
        bool ignore_skip_hint;        /* Scan blocks even if marked skip */
        bool finished_update_free;    /* True when the zone cached pfns are
                         * no longer being updated
                         */
        bool finished_update_migrate;
    
        int order;            /* order a direct compactor needs */
        int migratetype;        /* MOVABLE, RECLAIMABLE etc */
        struct zone *zone;
        bool contended;            /* True if a lock was contended */
    };

    如果看字段中的注释有点蒙,建议看下结构之前的注释

    /*
     * compact_control is used to track pages being migrated and the free pages
     * they are being migrated to during memory compaction. The free_pfn starts
     * at the end of a zone and migrate_pfn begins at the start. Movable pages
     * are moved to the end of a zone during a compaction run and the run
     * completes when free_pfn <= migrate_pfn
     */

    英语不行,简要翻译下。compact_control用于在内存压缩过程中追踪正在被移动的页面和被移动的目的页面,free_pfn起始于zone的末尾,而migrate_pfn起始于zone的起始位置。在压缩过程中,可移动的页面被移动到zone的尾部。大致就这个意思,说白了,就是free_pfn从后往前扫描寻找空闲页面,migrate_pfn从前往后扫描,寻找可移动的页面,当free_pfn <= migrate_pfn,压缩就结束了!

     在执行压缩之前,对压缩控制器参数的调整

    cc->migrate_pfn = zone->compact_cached_migrate_pfn;
        cc->free_pfn = zone->compact_cached_free_pfn;
        if (cc->free_pfn < start_pfn || cc->free_pfn > end_pfn) {
            cc->free_pfn = end_pfn & ~(pageblock_nr_pages-1);
            zone->compact_cached_free_pfn = cc->free_pfn;
        }
        if (cc->migrate_pfn < start_pfn || cc->migrate_pfn > end_pfn) {
            cc->migrate_pfn = start_pfn;
            zone->compact_cached_migrate_pfn = cc->migrate_pfn;
        }

     在设置好压缩控制器之后,就调用了migrate_prep_local函数,该函数中主要调用lru_add_drain把当前LRU缓存移动到LRU链表。下面的一个while循环时压缩的主体,我么看下源码

    while ((ret = compact_finished(zone, cc)) == COMPACT_CONTINUE) {
            unsigned long nr_migrate, nr_remaining;
            int err;
    
            switch (isolate_migratepages(zone, cc)) {
            case ISOLATE_ABORT:
                ret = COMPACT_PARTIAL;
                putback_movable_pages(&cc->migratepages);
                cc->nr_migratepages = 0;
                goto out;
            case ISOLATE_NONE:
                continue;
            case ISOLATE_SUCCESS:
                ;
            }
    
            nr_migrate = cc->nr_migratepages;
            err = migrate_pages(&cc->migratepages, compaction_alloc,
                    (unsigned long)cc,
                    cc->sync ? MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT : MIGRATE_ASYNC,
                    MR_COMPACTION);
            update_nr_listpages(cc);
            nr_remaining = cc->nr_migratepages;
    
            trace_mm_compaction_migratepages(nr_migrate - nr_remaining,
                            nr_remaining);
    
            /* Release isolated pages not migrated */
            if (err) {
                putback_movable_pages(&cc->migratepages);
                cc->nr_migratepages = 0;
                if (err == -ENOMEM) {
                    ret = COMPACT_PARTIAL;
                    goto out;
                }
            }
        }

    循环的判断条件函数是compact_finished,主体就是判断压缩是否完成,主要包含两部分

    1、是否有fatal信号处于pending状态,如果有则立刻退返回COMPACT_PARTIAL,否则转入2。

    2、检查压缩流程是否走完,即cc->free_pfn <= cc->migrate_pfn是否满足,如果满足则返回COMPACT_COMPLETE,否则转入3。

    3、cc->order == -1,返回COMPACT_CONTINUE表示继续压缩,否则转入4

    4、检查zone的的freepage是否满足low 的watermark,如果不满足则返回COMPACT_CONTINUE,否则转入5

    5、从cc->order开始,依次检查zone->free_area数组,对各个长度的连续页面集合中,检查符合cc->migratetype的链表是否为空,如果不为空,返回COMPACT_PARTIAL,否则转入6

    6、返回COMPACT_CONTINUE

    循环体内部调用isolate_migratepages,该函数是压缩的主体函数,其中调用了isolate_migratepages_range,该函数实现把特定的isolate开,即从LRU链表中摘除,添加到cc->migratepages链表,而下面执行移动的是migrate_pages,该函数实现了吧刚才隔离开的页面,移动到新的地方,核心即使就是对当前撤销映射,然后对新的页面建立映射。接着就调用update_nr_listpages对控制器做了更新,但是如果出错了就会调用putback_movable_pages把隔离开的页面重新添加回去,保证系统正常运行。

    压缩函数返回后,会再次尝试获取页面,如果获取到了,OK,一切照旧;如果没获取到,那也没办法,向上峰报告吧,该做什么做什么……
