本文将描述memory compaction
,内存碎片整理技术。
内存碎片分为内碎片和外碎片:
memory compaction
就是通过将正在使用的可移动页面迁移到另一个地方以获得连续的空闲页面的方法。针对内存碎片,内核中定义了migrate_type
用于描述迁移类型:
MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
:不可移动,对应于内核分配的页面;MIGRATE_MOVABLE
:可移动,对应于从用户空间分配的内存或文件;MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE
:不可移动,可以进行回收处理;先来一张memory compaction
的概况图:
上图对应的是struct page
的操作,而针对物理内存的操作如下图所示:
在之前的文章中提到过pageblock
,我们看到图中zone
区域是以pageblock
为单位上下扫描的,pageblock
的大小定义如下(未使用huge table
情况下),与Buddy System管理中的最大块大小一致:
/* If huge pages are not used, group by MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES */
#define pageblock_order (MAX_ORDER-1)
#define pageblock_nr_pages (1UL << pageblock_order)
好了,已经有一个初步印象了,那就进一步的分析吧。
compact_priority
/*
* Determines how hard direct compaction should try to succeed.
* Lower value means higher priority, analogically to reclaim priority.
*/
enum compact_priority {
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL,
MIN_COMPACT_PRIORITY = COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL,
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT,
MIN_COMPACT_COSTLY_PRIORITY = COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT,
DEF_COMPACT_PRIORITY = COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT,
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC,
INIT_COMPACT_PRIORITY = COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC
};
本结构用于描述memory compact
的几种不同方式:
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL/MIN_COMPACT_PRIORITY
:最高优先级,压缩和迁移以同步的方式完成;COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT/MIN_COMPACT_COSTLY_PRIORITY/DEF_COMPACT_PRIORITY
:中优先级,压缩以同步方式处理,迁移以异步方式处理;COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC/INIT_COMPACT_PRIORITY
:最低优先级,压缩和迁移以异步方式处理。compact_result
本结构用于描述压缩处理函数的返回值:
/* Return values for compact_zone() and try_to_compact_pages() */
/* When adding new states, please adjust include/trace/events/compaction.h */
enum compact_result {
/* For more detailed tracepoint output - internal to compaction */
COMPACT_NOT_SUITABLE_ZONE,
/*
* compaction didn't start as it was not possible or direct reclaim
* was more suitable
*/
COMPACT_SKIPPED,
/* compaction didn't start as it was deferred due to past failures */
COMPACT_DEFERRED,
/* compaction not active last round */
COMPACT_INACTIVE = COMPACT_DEFERRED,
/* For more detailed tracepoint output - internal to compaction */
COMPACT_NO_SUITABLE_PAGE,
/* compaction should continue to another pageblock */
COMPACT_CONTINUE,
/*
* The full zone was compacted scanned but wasn't successfull to compact
* suitable pages.
*/
COMPACT_COMPLETE,
/*
* direct compaction has scanned part of the zone but wasn't successfull
* to compact suitable pages.
*/
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED,
/* compaction terminated prematurely due to lock contentions */
COMPACT_CONTENDED,
/*
* direct compaction terminated after concluding that the allocation
* should now succeed
*/
COMPACT_SUCCESS,
};
migrate_mode
本结构用于描述migrate
过程中的不同模式,主要针对同步和异步的处理。
/*
* MIGRATE_ASYNC means never block
* MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT in the current implementation means to allow blocking
* on most operations but not ->writepage as the potential stall time
* is too significant
* MIGRATE_SYNC will block when migrating pages
* MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY will block when migrating pages but will not copy pages
* with the CPU. Instead, page copy happens outside the migratepage()
* callback and is likely using a DMA engine. See migrate_vma() and HMM
* (mm/hmm.c) for users of this mode.
*/
enum migrate_mode {
MIGRATE_ASYNC,
MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT,
MIGRATE_SYNC,
MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY,
};
compact_control
compact_control
结构体用于在执行compact
的时候,维护两个扫描器,对应freepages
和migratepages
,最终将migratepages
中的页拷贝到freepages
中去。具体的字段注释足够详尽,不细说了。
/*
* 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
*/
struct compact_control {
struct list_head freepages; /* List of free pages to migrate to */
struct list_head migratepages; /* List of pages being migrated */
struct zone *zone;
unsigned long nr_freepages; /* Number of isolated free pages */
unsigned long nr_migratepages; /* Number of pages to migrate */
unsigned long total_migrate_scanned;
unsigned long total_free_scanned;
unsigned long free_pfn; /* isolate_freepages search base */
unsigned long migrate_pfn; /* isolate_migratepages search base */
unsigned long last_migrated_pfn;/* Not yet flushed page being freed */
const gfp_t gfp_mask; /* gfp mask of a direct compactor */
int order; /* order a direct compactor needs */
int migratetype; /* migratetype of direct compactor */
const unsigned int alloc_flags; /* alloc flags of a direct compactor */
const int classzone_idx; /* zone index of a direct compactor */
enum migrate_mode mode; /* Async or sync migration mode */
bool ignore_skip_hint; /* Scan blocks even if marked skip */
bool ignore_block_suitable; /* Scan blocks considered unsuitable */
bool direct_compaction; /* False from kcompactd or /proc/... */
bool whole_zone; /* Whole zone should/has been scanned */
bool contended; /* Signal lock or sched contention */
bool finishing_block; /* Finishing current pageblock */
};
光看上文的数据结构,会比较零散,看看整体的流程吧。
在内核中,有三种方式来操作memory compact
:
compact
处理;kcompactd
守护线程在后台唤醒,执行compact
处理;echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
来触发;图来了:
实际操作一把:
cat /proc/pagetypeinfo
如下图:
compact
处理这个处理的过程还是很复杂的,下图显示了大概的过程:
下边将针对各个子模块更深入点分析。
compaction_suitable
判断是否执行内存的碎片整理,需要满足以下三个条件:
order
大于PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
时,计算碎片指数fragindex
,根据值来判断;isolate_migratepages
isolate_migratepages
函数中,迁移扫描器以pageblock
为单位,扫描可移动页,最终把可移动的页添加到struct compact_control
结构中的migratepages
链表中。如下图所示:isolate_freepages
的逻辑与isolate_migratepages
类似,也是对页进行隔离处理,最终添加cc->freepages
链表中。
当空闲扫描器和迁移扫描器完成扫描之后,那就是时候将两个链表中的页做一下migrate
操作了。
migrate_pages
compact_alloc
函数,从cc->freepages
链表中取出一个空闲页;__unmap_and_move
来把可移动页移动到空闲页处;_unmap_and_move
函数涉及到反向映射,以及页缓存等,留在以后再深入看。这个函数两个关键作用:1)调用try_to_unmap
删除进程页表中旧的映射关系,在需要访问的时候再重新映射到新的物理地址上;2)调用move_to_new_page
函数将旧页移动到新的物理页上,其中在汇编文件arch/arm64/lib/copy_page.S
中copy_page
函数完成拷贝。compact_finished
compact_finished
函数主要用于检查compact
是否完成。
compaction_deferred/compaction_defer_reset/defer_compaction
compact
有关,这三个函数是在try_to_compact_pages
中调用。当free pages除去申请页面数高于水位值,且申请或备用的迁移类型至少有一个足够大的空闲页面时,可以认为compact
成功。在没有成功时,可能需要推迟几次来处理。struct zone
结构中与之有关的字段如下:struct zone {
...
/*
* On compaction failure, 1<<compact_defer_shift compactions
* are skipped before trying again. The number attempted since
* last failure is tracked with compact_considered.
*/
unsigned int compact_considered; //记录推迟次数
unsigned int compact_defer_shift; //(1 << compact_defer_shift)=推迟次数,最大为6
int compact_order_failed; //记录碎片整理失败时的申请order值
...
};
