- Pure Private Page System (pps)
- Copyright by Yunfeng Zhang on GFDL 1.2

-
-// Purpose <([{
-The file is used to document the idea which is published firstly at
-http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0607.2/0451.html, as a part of my
-OS -- main page http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/21764/index.php. You can find the
-overview of the idea in section <How to Reclaim Pages more Efficiently> and how
-I patch it into Linux 2.6.16.29 in section <Pure Private Page System -- pps>.
-// }])>
-
-// How to Reclaim Pages more Efficiently <([{
-Good idea originates from overall design and management ability, when you look
-down from a manager view, you will relief yourself from disordered code and
-find some problem immediately.
-
-OK! to modern OS, its memory subsystem can be divided into three layers
-1) Space layer (InodeSpace, UserSpace and CoreSpace).
-2) VMA layer (PrivateVMA and SharedVMA, memory architecture-independent layer).
-3) PTE and page layer (architecture-dependent).
-
-Since the 2nd layer assembles the much statistic of page-acess information, so
-it's nature that swap subsystem should be deployed and implemented on the 2nd
-layer.
-
-Undoubtedly, there are some virtues about it
-1) SwapDaemon can collect the statistic of process acessing pages and by it
- unmaps ptes, SMP specially benefits from it for we can use flush_tlb_range
- to relief frequently TLB IPI interrupt.
-2) Page-fault can issue better readahead requests since history data shows all
- related pages have conglomerating affinity.
-3) It's conformable to POSIX madvise API family.
-
-Unfortunately, Linux 2.6.16.29 swap subsystem is based on the 3rd layer -- a
-system surrounding page.
-
-I've commited a patch to it, see section <Pure Private Page System --
pps>. Note, it ISN'T perfect.
-// }])>
-
-// Pure Private Page System -- pps <([{
-Current Linux is just like a monster and still growing, even its swap subsystem
-...
-
-As I've referred in previous section, perfectly applying my idea need to unroot
-page-surrounging swap subsystem to migrate it on VMA, but a huge gap has
-defeated me -- active_list and inactive_list. In fact, you can find
-lru_add_active anywhere ... It's IMPOSSIBLE to me to complete it only by
-myself. It's also the difference between my design and Linux, in my OS, page is
-the charge of its new owner totally, however, to Linux, page management system
-is still tracing it by PG_active flag.
-
-So I conceive another solution:) That is, set up an independent page-recycle
-system rooted on Linux legacy page system -- pps, intercept all private pages
-belonging to PrivateVMA to pps, then use my pps to cycle them. By the way, the
-whole job should be consist of two parts, here is the first --
-PrivateVMA-oriented (PPS), other is SharedVMA-oriented (should be called SPS)
-scheduled in future. Of course, if all are done, it will empty Linux legacy
-page system.
-
-In fact, pps is centered on how to better collect and unmap process private
-pages in SwapDaemon mm/vmscan.c:shrink_private_vma, the whole process is
-divided into six stages -- <Stage Definition>. Other sections show the remain
-aspects of pps
-1) <Data Definition> is basic data definition.
-2) <Concurrent racers of Shrinking pps> is focused on synchronization.
-3) <Private Page Lifecycle of pps> -- how private pages enter in/go off pps.
-4) <VMA Lifecycle of pps> which VMA is belonging to pps.
-
-PPS uses init_mm.mm_list list to enumerate all swappable UserSpace.
-
-I'm also glad to highlight my a new idea -- dftlb which is described in
-section <Delay to Flush TLB>.
-// }])>
-
-// Delay to Flush TLB (dftlb) <([{
-Delay to flush TLB is instroduced by me to enhance flushing TLB efficiency, in
-brief, when we want to unmap a page from the page table of a process, why we
-send TLB IPI to other CPUs immediately, since every CPU has timer interrupt, we
-can insert flushing tasks into timer interrupt route to implement a
-free-charged TLB flushing.
-
-The trick is implemented in
-1) TLB flushing task is added in fill_in_tlb_task of mm/vmscan.c.
-2) timer_flush_tlb_tasks of kernel/timer.c is used by other CPUs to execute
- flushing tasks.
-3) all data are defined in include/linux/mm.h.
-
-The restriction of dftlb. Following conditions must be met
-1) atomic cmpxchg instruction.
-2) atomically set the access bit after they touch a pte firstly.
-3) To some architectures, vma parameter of flush_tlb_range is maybe important,
- if it's true, since it's possible that the vma of a TLB flushing task has
- gone when a CPU starts to execute the task in timer interrupt, so don't use
- dftlb.
-combine stage 1 with stage 2, and send IPI immediately in fill_in_tlb_tasks.
-// }])>
-
-// Stage Definition <([{
-The whole process of private page page-out is divided into six stages, as
-showed in shrink_pvma_scan_ptes of mm/vmscan.c
-1) PTE to untouched PTE (access bit is cleared), append flushing
tasks to dftlb.
-2) Convert untouched PTE to UnmappedPTE.
-3) Link SwapEntry to every UnmappedPTE.
-4) Synchronize the page of a UnmappedPTE with its physical swap page.
-5) Reclaimed the page and shift UnmappedPTE to SwappedPTE.
-6) SwappedPTE stage.
-// }])>
-
-// Data Definition <([{
-New VMA flag (VM_PURE_PRIVATE) is appended into VMA in include/linux/mm.h.
-
-New PTE type (UnmappedPTE) is appended into PTE system in
-include/asm-i386/pgtable.h.
-// }])>
-
-// Concurrent Racers of Shrinking pps <([{
-shrink_private_vma of mm/vmscan.c uses init_mm.mmlist to scan all swappable
-mm_struct instances, during the process of scaning and reclaiming process, it
-readlockes every mm_struct object, which brings some potential concurrent
-racers
-1) mm/swapfile.c pps_swapoff (swapoff API).
-2) mm/memory.c do_wp_page, handle_pte_fault::unmapped_pte, do_anonymous_page
- (page-fault).
-// }])>
-
-// Private Page Lifecycle of pps <([{
-All pages belonging to pps are called as pure private page.
-
-IN (NOTE, when a pure private page enters into pps, it's also trimmed from
-Linux legacy page system by commeting lru_cache_add_active clause)
-1) fs/exec.c install_arg_pages (argument pages).
-2) mm/memory do_anonymous_page, do_wp_page, do_swap_page (page fault).
-3) mm/swap_state.c read_swap_cache_async (swap pages).
-
-OUT
-1) mm/vmscan.c shrink_pvma_scan_ptes (stage 6, reclaim a private page).
-2) mm/memory zap_pte_range (free a page).
-3) kernel/fork.c dup_mmap (if someone uses fork, migrate all pps pages
- back to let Linux legacy page system manage them).
-
-When a pure private page is in pps, it can be visited simultaneously by
-page-fault and SwapDaemon.
-// }])>
-
-// VMA Lifecycle of pps <([{
-When a PrivateVMA enters into pps, it's or-ed a new flag -- VM_PURE_PRIVATE,
-the flag is used in the shrink_private_vma of mm/vmscan.c. Other fields are
-reserved untouch state.
-
-IN.
-1) fs/exec.c setup_arg_pages (StackVMA).
-2) mm/mmap.c do_mmap_pgoff, do_brk (DataVMA).
-3) mm/mmap.c split_vma, copy_vma (in some cases, we need copy a VMA from an
- exist VMA).
-
-OUT.
-1) kernel/fork.c dup_mmap (if someone uses fork, return the vma back to
- Linux legacy system).
-2) mm/mmap.c remove_vma, vma_adjust (destroy VMA).
-3) mm/mmap.c do_mmap_pgoff (delete VMA when some errors occur).
-// }])>
-
-// Postscript <([{
-Note, some circumstances aren't tested due to hardware restriction e.g. SMP
-dftlb.
-
-Here are some improvements about pps
-1) In fact, I recommend one-to-one private model -- PrivateVMA, (PTE,
- UnmappedPTE) and PrivatePage which is described in my OS and the aboved
- hyperlink of Linux kernel mail list. So it's a compromise to use Linux
- legacy SwapCache in my pps.
-2) SwapCache should provide more flexible interfaces, shrink_pvma_scan_ptes
- need allocate swap entries in batch, exactly, allocate a batch of fake
- continual swap entries, see mm/pps_swapin_readahead.
-3) pps statistic entry in /proc/meminfo.
-4) a better arithmetic to pick mm out to scan and shrink in shrink_private_vma.
-5) It's better to execute the first 2 stages when system is idle, current
- SwapDaemon only is activated when free pages are low.
-6) A scanning count should be added into mm_struct, so when the count is
- becoming enough old to open stage 3 and 4.
-
-I'm still working on improvement 4, 5 and 6 to find out how to maximum the
-performance of swap subsystem.
-
-If Linux kernel group can't make a schedule to re-write their memory code,
-however, pps maybe is the best solution until now.
