Linux内存管理 (12)反向映射RMAP

专题:Linux内存管理专题

关键词:RMAP、VMA、AV、AVC

 

所谓反向映射是相对于从虚拟地址到物理地址的映射,反向映射是从物理页面到虚拟地址空间VMA的反向映射。

RMAP能否实现的基础是通过struct anon_vma、struct anon_vma_chain和sturct vm_area_struct建立了联系,通过物理页面反向查找到VMA。

用户在使用虚拟内存过程中,PTE页表项中保留着虚拟内存页面映射到物理内存页面的记录。

 

一个物理页面可以同时被多个进程的虚拟地址内存映射,但一个虚拟页面同时只能有一个物理页面与之映射。

不同虚拟页面同时映射到同一物理页面是因为子进程克隆父进程VMA,和KSM机制的存在。

 

如果页面要被回收,就必须要找出哪些进程在使用这个页面,然后断开这些虚拟地址到物理页面的映射。

匿名页面实际的断开映射操作在rmap_walk_anon中进行的,可以看出从struct page、到struct anon_vma、到struct anon_vma_chain、到struct vm_area_struct的关系。

1. 父进程分配匿名页面

父进程为自己的进程地址空间VMA分配物理内存时,通常会产生匿名页面。

do_anonymous_page()会分配匿名页面;do_wp_page()发生写时复制COW时也会产生一个新的匿名页面。

static int do_anonymous_page(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
        unsigned long address, pte_t *page_table, pmd_t *pmd,
        unsigned int flags)
{
...
    /* Allocate our own private page. */
    if (unlikely(anon_vma_prepare(vma)))------------------------------为进程地址空间准备struct anon_vma数据结构和struct anon_vma_chain链表。
        goto oom;
    page = alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(vma, address);----------从HIGHMEM区域分配一个zeroed页面
    if (!page)
        goto oom;
...
    inc_mm_counter_fast(mm, MM_ANONPAGES);
    page_add_new_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);-----------------------
    mem_cgroup_commit_charge(page, memcg, false);
    lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable(page, vma);
...
}

 RMAP反向映射系统中有两个重要的数据结构:一个是struct anon_vma,简称AV;一个是struct anon_vma_chain,简称AVC。

struct anon_vma {
    struct anon_vma *root;        /* Root of this anon_vma tree */----------------指向anon_vma数据机构中的根节点
    struct rw_semaphore rwsem;    /* W: modification, R: walking the list */------保护anon_vma中链表的读写信号量
    /*
     * The refcount is taken on an anon_vma when there is no
     * guarantee that the vma of page tables will exist for
     * the duration of the operation. A caller that takes
     * the reference is responsible for clearing up the
     * anon_vma if they are the last user on release
     */
    atomic_t refcount;------------------------------------------------------------对anon_vma的引用计数

    /*
     * Count of child anon_vmas and VMAs which points to this anon_vma.
     *
     * This counter is used for making decision about reusing anon_vma
     * instead of forking new one. See comments in function anon_vma_clone.
     */
    unsigned degree;

    struct anon_vma *parent;    /* Parent of this anon_vma */--------------------指向父anon_vma数据结构

    /*
     * NOTE: the LSB of the rb_root.rb_node is set by
     * mm_take_all_locks() _after_ taking the above lock. So the
     * rb_root must only be read/written after taking the above lock
     * to be sure to see a valid next pointer. The LSB bit itself
     * is serialized by a system wide lock only visible to
     * mm_take_all_locks() (mm_all_locks_mutex).
     */
    struct rb_root rb_root;    /* Interval tree of private "related" vmas */-----红黑树根节点
}

 

struct anon_vma_chain数据结构是链接父子进程的枢纽:

struct anon_vma_chain {
    struct vm_area_struct *vma;-----------------------------------------------指向VMA
    struct anon_vma *anon_vma;------------------------------------------------指向anon_vma数据结构,可以指向父进程或子进程的anon_vma数据结构。
    struct list_head same_vma;   /* locked by mmap_sem & page_table_lock */---链表节点,通常把anon_vma_chain添加到vma->anon_vma_chain链表中。
    struct rb_node rb;            /* locked by anon_vma->rwsem */-------------红黑树节点,通常把anon_vma_chain添加到anon_vma->rb_root的红黑树中。
    unsigned long rb_subtree_last;
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_RB
    unsigned long cached_vma_start, cached_vma_last;
#endif
}

 

 下面分析如何建立AV、AVC、VMA之间的关系: 

int anon_vma_prepare(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
    struct anon_vma *anon_vma = vma->anon_vma;--------------vma->anon_vma指向struct anon_vma数据结构。
    struct anon_vma_chain *avc;

    might_sleep();
    if (unlikely(!anon_vma)) {
        struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm;
        struct anon_vma *allocated;

        avc = anon_vma_chain_alloc(GFP_KERNEL);------------分配一个struct anon_vma_chain结构。
        if (!avc)
            goto out_enomem;

        anon_vma = find_mergeable_anon_vma(vma);-----------是否可以和前后vma合并
        allocated = NULL;
        if (!anon_vma) {
            anon_vma = anon_vma_alloc();-------------------如果无法合并,则重新分配一个结构体
            if (unlikely(!anon_vma))
                goto out_enomem_free_avc;
            allocated = anon_vma;
        }

        anon_vma_lock_write(anon_vma);
        /* page_table_lock to protect against threads */
        spin_lock(&mm->page_table_lock);
        if (likely(!vma->anon_vma)) {
            vma->anon_vma = anon_vma;-------------------------建立struct vm_area_struct和struct anon_vma关联
            anon_vma_chain_link(vma, avc, anon_vma);----------建立struct anon_vma_chain和其他结构体的关系。
            /* vma reference or self-parent link for new root */
            anon_vma->degree++;
            allocated = NULL;
            avc = NULL;
        }
        spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock);
        anon_vma_unlock_write(anon_vma);

        if (unlikely(allocated))
            put_anon_vma(allocated);
        if (unlikely(avc))
            anon_vma_chain_free(avc);
    }
    return 0;

 out_enomem_free_avc:
    anon_vma_chain_free(avc);
 out_enomem:
    return -ENOMEM;
}

至此已经建立struct vm_area_struct、struct anon_vma、struct anon_vma_chain三者之间的链接,并插入相应链表、红黑树中。

从AVC可以轻松找到VMA和AV;AV可以通过红黑树找到AVC,然后发现所有红黑树中的AV;VMA可以直接找到AV,也可以通过AVC链表找到AVC。

 

 

static void anon_vma_chain_link(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
                struct anon_vma_chain *avc,
                struct anon_vma *anon_vma)
{
    avc->vma = vma;--------------------------------------------建立struct anon_vma_chain和struct vm_area_struct关联
    avc->anon_vma = anon_vma;----------------------------------建立struct anon_vma_chain和struct anon_vma关联
    list_add(&avc->same_vma, &vma->anon_vma_chain);------------将AVC添加到struct vm_area_struct->anon_vma_chain链表中。
    anon_vma_interval_tree_insert(avc, &anon_vma->rb_root);----将AVC添加到struct anon_vma->rb_root红黑树中。
}

 

 调用alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable分配物理内存之后,调用page_add_new_anon_rmap建立PTE映射关系。

 

void page_add_new_anon_rmap(struct page *page,
    struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address)
{
    VM_BUG_ON_VMA(address < vma->vm_start || address >= vma->vm_end, vma);
    SetPageSwapBacked(page);----------------------------------------------------------设置PG_SwapBacked表示这个页面可以swap到磁盘。
    atomic_set(&page->_mapcount, 0); /* increment count (starts at -1) */-------------设置_mapcount引用计数为0
    if (PageTransHuge(page))
        __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_ANON_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES);
    __mod_zone_page_state(page_zone(page), NR_ANON_PAGES,-----------------------------增加页面所在zone的匿名页面计数
            hpage_nr_pages(page));
    __page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address, 1);--------------------------------------设置这个页面位匿名映射
}

static void __page_set_anon_rmap(struct page *page,
    struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, int exclusive)
{
    struct anon_vma *anon_vma = vma->anon_vma;

    BUG_ON(!anon_vma);

    if (PageAnon(page))---------------------------------------------------------------判断当前页面是否是匿名页面PAGE_MAPPING_ANON
        return;

    /*
     * If the page isn't exclusively mapped into this vma,
     * we must use the _oldest_ possible anon_vma for the
     * page mapping!
     */
    if (!exclusive)
        anon_vma = anon_vma->root;

    anon_vma = (void *) anon_vma + PAGE_MAPPING_ANON;
    page->mapping = (struct address_space *) anon_vma;------------------------------mapping指定页面所在的地址空间,这里指向匿名页面的地址空间数据结构struct anon_vma。
    page->index = linear_page_index(vma, address);
}

 

 结合上图,总结如下:

  • 父进程每个VMA都有一个anon_vma数据结构,vma->anon_vma指向。
  • 和VMA相关的物理页面page->mapping都指向anon_vma。
  • AVC数据结构anon_vma_chain->vma指向VMA,anon_vma_chain->anon_vma指向AV。
  • AVC添加到VMA->anon_vma_chain链表中。
  • AVC添加到AV->anon_vma红黑树中。

  

2. 父进程创建子进程

父进程通过fork系统调用创建子进程时,子进程会复制父进程的进程地址空间VMA数据结构作为自己的进程地址空间,并且会复制父进程的PTE页表项内容到子进程的页表中,实现父子进程共享页表。

多个不同子进程中的虚拟页面会同时映射到同一个物理页面,另外多个不相干进程虚拟页面也可以通过KSM机制映射到同一个物理页面

fork()系统调用实现在kernel/fork.c中,在dup_mmap()中复制父进程的地址空间和父进程的PTE页表项:

static int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct mm_struct *oldmm)
{
    struct vm_area_struct *mpnt, *tmp, *prev, **pprev;
    struct rb_node **rb_link, *rb_parent;
    int retval;
    unsigned long charge;

    uprobe_start_dup_mmap();
    down_write(&oldmm->mmap_sem);
    flush_cache_dup_mm(oldmm);
    uprobe_dup_mmap(oldmm, mm);
    /*
     * Not linked in yet - no deadlock potential:
     */
    down_write_nested(&mm->mmap_sem, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);

    mm->total_vm = oldmm->total_vm;
    mm->shared_vm = oldmm->shared_vm;
    mm->exec_vm = oldmm->exec_vm;
    mm->stack_vm = oldmm->stack_vm;

    rb_link = &mm->mm_rb.rb_node;
    rb_parent = NULL;
    pprev = &mm->mmap;
    retval = ksm_fork(mm, oldmm);
    if (retval)
        goto out;
    retval = khugepaged_fork(mm, oldmm);
    if (retval)
        goto out;

    prev = NULL;
    for (mpnt = oldmm->mmap; mpnt; mpnt = mpnt->vm_next) {-------------------for循环遍历父进程的进程地址空间VMA。
        struct file *file;

        if (mpnt->vm_flags & VM_DONTCOPY) {
            vm_stat_account(mm, mpnt->vm_flags, mpnt->vm_file,
                            -vma_pages(mpnt));
            continue;
        }
        charge = 0;
        if (mpnt->vm_flags & VM_ACCOUNT) {
            unsigned long len = vma_pages(mpnt);

            if (security_vm_enough_memory_mm(oldmm, len)) /* sic */
                goto fail_nomem;
            charge = len;
        }
        tmp = kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!tmp)
            goto fail_nomem;
        *tmp = *mpnt;--------------------------------------------------------复制父进程地址空间VMA到刚创建的子进程tmp中。
        INIT_LIST_HEAD(&tmp->anon_vma_chain);
        retval = vma_dup_policy(mpnt, tmp);
        if (retval)
            goto fail_nomem_policy;
        tmp->vm_mm = mm;
        if (anon_vma_fork(tmp, mpnt))----------------------------------------为子进程创建相应的anon_vma数据结构。
            goto fail_nomem_anon_vma_fork;
        tmp->vm_flags &= ~VM_LOCKED;
        tmp->vm_next = tmp->vm_prev = NULL;
        file = tmp->vm_file;
...
        __vma_link_rb(mm, tmp, rb_link, rb_parent);--------------------------把VMA添加到子进程红黑树中。
        rb_link = &tmp->vm_rb.rb_right;
        rb_parent = &tmp->vm_rb;

        mm->map_count++;
        retval = copy_page_range(mm, oldmm, mpnt);---------------------------复制父进程的PTE页表项到子进程页表中。

        if (tmp->vm_ops && tmp->vm_ops->open)
            tmp->vm_ops->open(tmp);

        if (retval)
            goto out;
    }
...
}

 

 

 

3. 子进程发生COW

如果子进程的VMA发生COW,那么会使用子进程VMA创建的anon_vma数据结构,即page->mmaping指针指向子进程VMA对应的anon_vma数据结构。

在do_wp_page()函数中处理COW场景情况:子进程和父进程共享的匿名页面,子进程的VMA发生COW。

->发生缺页中断
    ->handle_pte_fault
        ->do_wp_page
            ->分配一个新的匿名页面
                ->__page_set_anon_rmap 使用子进程的anon_vma来设置page->mapping

 

 

4. RMAP应用

内核中通过struct page找到所有映射到这个页面的VMA典型场景有:

  • kswapd内核线程回收页面需要断开所有映射了该匿名页面的用户PTE页表项。
  • 页面迁移时,需要断开所有映射到匿名页面的用户PTE页表项。 

 

try_to_unmap()是反向映射的核心函数,内核中其他模块会调用此函数来断开一个页面的所有映射:

/**
 * try_to_unmap - try to remove all page table mappings to a page
 * @page: the page to get unmapped
 * @flags: action and flags
 *
 * Tries to remove all the page table entries which are mapping this
 * page, used in the pageout path.  Caller must hold the page lock.
 * Return values are:
 *
 * SWAP_SUCCESS    - we succeeded in removing all mappings------------成功解除了所有映射的PTE。
 * SWAP_AGAIN    - we missed a mapping, try again later---------------可能错过了一个映射的PTE,需要重来一次。
 * SWAP_FAIL    - the page is unswappable-----------------------------失败
 * SWAP_MLOCK    - page is mlocked.-----------------------------------页面被锁住了
 */
int try_to_unmap(struct page *page, enum ttu_flags flags)
{
    int ret;
    struct rmap_walk_control rwc = {
        .rmap_one = try_to_unmap_one,--------------------------------具体断开某个VMA上映射的pte
        .arg = (void *)flags,
        .done = page_not_mapped,-------------------------------------判断一个页面是否断开成功的条件
        .anon_lock = page_lock_anon_vma_read,------------------------
    };

    VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHuge(page) && PageTransHuge(page), page);

    /*
     * During exec, a temporary VMA is setup and later moved.
     * The VMA is moved under the anon_vma lock but not the
     * page tables leading to a race where migration cannot
     * find the migration ptes. Rather than increasing the
     * locking requirements of exec(), migration skips
     * temporary VMAs until after exec() completes.
     */
    if ((flags & TTU_MIGRATION) && !PageKsm(page) && PageAnon(page))
        rwc.invalid_vma = invalid_migration_vma;

    ret = rmap_walk(page, &rwc);

    if (ret != SWAP_MLOCK && !page_mapped(page))
        ret = SWAP_SUCCESS;
    return ret;
}

 

内核中有三种页面需要unmap操作,即KSM页面、匿名页面、文件映射页面:

int rmap_walk(struct page *page, struct rmap_walk_control *rwc)
{
    if (unlikely(PageKsm(page)))
        return rmap_walk_ksm(page, rwc);
    else if (PageAnon(page))
        return rmap_walk_anon(page, rwc);
    else
        return rmap_walk_file(page, rwc);
}

 

下面以匿名页面的unmap为例:

static int rmap_walk_anon(struct page *page, struct rmap_walk_control *rwc)
{
    struct anon_vma *anon_vma;
    pgoff_t pgoff;
    struct anon_vma_chain *avc;
    int ret = SWAP_AGAIN;

    anon_vma = rmap_walk_anon_lock(page, rwc);-----------------------------------获取页面page->mapping指向的anon_vma数据结构,并申请一个读者锁。
    if (!anon_vma)
        return ret;

    pgoff = page_to_pgoff(page);
    anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach(avc, &anon_vma->rb_root, pgoff, pgoff) {------遍历anon_vma->rb_root红黑树中的AVC,从AVC得到相应的VMA。
        struct vm_area_struct *vma = avc->vma;
        unsigned long address = vma_address(page, vma);

        if (rwc->invalid_vma && rwc->invalid_vma(vma, rwc->arg))
            continue;

        ret = rwc->rmap_one(page, vma, address, rwc->arg);-----------------------实际的断开用户PTE页表项操作。
        if (ret != SWAP_AGAIN)
            break;
        if (rwc->done && rwc->done(page))
            break;
    }
    anon_vma_unlock_read(anon_vma);
    return ret;
}

 

struct rmap_walk_control中的rmap_one实现是try_to_unmap_one,最终调用page_remove_rmap()和page_cache_release()来断开PTE映射关系。
