include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

mm: introduce idle page tracking Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately. Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However, this method has two serious shortcomings: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags, Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page, and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2) system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount of pages that are not used by the workload. The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file. If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was cleared. Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

mm/swap: Use local_lock for protection The various struct pagevec per CPU variables are protected by disabling either preemption or interrupts across the critical sections. Inside these sections spinlocks have to be acquired. These spinlocks are regular spinlock_t types which are converted to "sleeping" spinlocks on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Obviously sleeping locks cannot be acquired in preemption or interrupt disabled sections. local locks provide a trivial way to substitute preempt and interrupt disable instances. On a non PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel local_lock() maps to preempt_disable() and local_lock_irq() to local_irq_disable(). Create lru_rotate_pvecs containing the pagevec and the locallock. Create lru_pvecs containing the remaining pagevecs and the locallock. Add lru_add_drain_cpu_zone() which is used from compact_zone() to avoid exporting the pvec structure. Change the relevant call sites to acquire these locks instead of using preempt_disable() / get_cpu() / get_cpu_var() and local_irq_disable() / local_irq_save(). There is neither a functional change nor a change in the generated binary code for non PREEMPT_RT enabled non-debug kernels. When lockdep is enabled local locks have lockdep maps embedded. These allow lockdep to validate the protections, i.e. inappropriate usage of a preemption only protected sections would result in a lockdep warning while the same problem would not be noticed with a plain preempt_disable() based protection. local locks also improve readability as they provide a named scope for the protections while preempt/interrupt disable are opaque scopeless. Finally local locks allow PREEMPT_RT to substitute them with real locking primitives to ensure the correctness of operation in a fully preemptible kernel.

swap: cull unevictable pages in fault path In the fault paths that install new anonymous pages, check whether the page is evictable or not using lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable(). If the page is evictable, just add it to the active lru list [via the pagevec cache], else add it to the unevictable list. This "proactive" culling in the fault path mimics the handling of mlocked pages in Nick Piggin's series to keep mlocked pages off the lru lists. Notes: 1) This patch is optional--e.g., if one is concerned about the additional test in the fault path. We can defer the moving of nonreclaimable pages until when vmscan [shrink_*_list()] encounters them. Vmscan will only need to handle such pages once, but if there are a lot of them it could impact system performance. 2) The 'vma' argument to page_evictable() is require to notice that we're faulting a page into an mlock()ed vma w/o having to scan the page's rmap in the fault path. Culling mlock()ed anon pages is currently the only reason for this patch. 3) We can't cull swap pages in read_swap_cache_async() because the vma argument doesn't necessarily correspond to the swap cache offset passed in by swapin_readahead(). This could [did!] result in mlocking pages in non-VM_LOCKED vmas if [when] we tried to cull in this path. 4) Move set_pte_at() to after where we add page to lru to keep it hidden from other tasks that might walk the page table. We already do it in this order in do_anonymous() page. And, these are COW'd anon pages. Is this safe?

mm: add tracepoints for LRU activation and insertions Andrew Perepechko reported a problem whereby pages are being prematurely evicted as the mark_page_accessed() hint is ignored for pages that are currently on a pagevec -- http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg37340.html . Alexey Lyahkov and Robin Dong have also reported problems recently that could be due to hot pages reaching the end of the inactive list too quickly and be reclaimed. Rather than addressing this on a per-filesystem basis, this series aims to fix the mark_page_accessed() interface by deferring what LRU a page is added to pagevec drain time and allowing mark_page_accessed() to call SetPageActive on a pagevec page. Patch 1 adds two tracepoints for LRU page activation and insertion. Using these processes it's possible to build a model of pages in the LRU that can be processed offline. Patch 2 defers making the decision on what LRU to add a page to until when the pagevec is drained. Patch 3 searches the local pagevec for pages to mark PageActive on mark_page_accessed. The changelog explains why only the local pagevec is examined. Patches 4 and 5 tidy up the API. postmark, a dd-based test and fs-mark both single and threaded mode were run but none of them showed any performance degradation or gain as a result of the patch. Using patch 1, I built a *very* basic model of the LRU to examine offline what the average age of different page types on the LRU were in milliseconds. Of course, capturing the trace distorts the test as it's written to local disk but it does not matter for the purposes of this test. The average age of pages in milliseconds were vanilla deferdrain Average age mapped anon: 1454 1250 Average age mapped file: 127841 155552 Average age unmapped anon: 85 235 Average age unmapped file: 73633 38884 Average age unmapped buffers: 74054 116155 The LRU activity was mostly files which you'd expect for a dd-based workload. Note that the average age of buffer pages is increased by the series and it is expected this is due to the fact that the buffer pages are now getting added to the active list when drained from the pagevecs. Note that the average age of the unmapped file data is decreased as they are still added to the inactive list and are reclaimed before the buffers. There is no guarantee this is a universal win for all workloads and it would be nice if the filesystem people gave some thought as to whether this decision is generally a win or a loss. This patch: Using these tracepoints it is possible to model LRU activity and the average residency of pages of different types. This can be used to debug problems related to premature reclaim of pages of particular types.

mm: use pagevec to rotate reclaimable page While running some memory intensive load, system response deteriorated just after swap-out started. The cause of this problem is that when a PG_reclaim page is moved to the tail of the inactive LRU list in rotate_reclaimable_page(), lru_lock spin lock is acquired every page writeback . This deteriorates system performance and makes interrupt hold off time longer when swap-out started. Following patch solves this problem. I use pagevec in rotating reclaimable pages to mitigate LRU spin lock contention and reduce interrupt hold off time. I did a test that allocating and touching pages in multiple processes, and pinging to the test machine in flooding mode to measure response under memory intensive load. The test result is: -2.6.23-rc5 --- testmachine ping statistics --- 3000 packets transmitted, 3000 received, 0% packet loss, time 53222ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.074/0.652/172.228/7.176 ms, pipe 11, ipg/ewma 17.746/0.092 ms -2.6.23-rc5-patched --- testmachine ping statistics --- 3000 packets transmitted, 3000 received, 0% packet loss, time 51924ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.072/0.108/3.884/0.114 ms, pipe 2, ipg/ewma 17.314/0.091 ms Max round-trip-time was improved. The test machine spec is that 4CPU(3.16GHz, Hyper-threading enabled) 8GB memory , 8GB swap.

mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance Placing munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() shifts most of the munlocking to clear_page_mlock(), since PageMlocked is typically still set when mapcount has fallen to 0. That is not what we want: we want /proc/vmstat's unevictable_pgs_cleared to remain as a useful check on the integrity of of the mlock/munlock protocol - small numbers are not surprising, but big numbers mean the protocol is not working. That could be easily fixed by placing munlock_vma_page() at the start of page_remove_rmap(); but later in the series we shall want to batch the munlocking, and that too would tend to leave PageMlocked still set at the point when it is checked. So delete clear_page_mlock() now: leave it instead to release_pages() (and __page_cache_release()) to do this backstop clearing of Mlocked, when page refcount has fallen to 0. If a pinned page occasionally gets counted as Mlocked and Unevictable until it is unpinned, that's okay. A slightly regrettable side-effect of this change is that, since release_pages() and __page_cache_release() may be called at interrupt time, those places which update NR_MLOCK with interrupts enabled had better use mod_zone_page_state() than __mod_zone_page_state() (but holding the lruvec lock always has interrupts disabled). This change, forcing Mlocked off when refcount 0 instead of earlier when mapcount 0, is not fundamental: it can be reversed if performance or something else is found to suffer; but this is the easiest way to separate the stats - let's not complicate that without good reason.

mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance Placing munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() shifts most of the munlocking to clear_page_mlock(), since PageMlocked is typically still set when mapcount has fallen to 0. That is not what we want: we want /proc/vmstat's unevictable_pgs_cleared to remain as a useful check on the integrity of of the mlock/munlock protocol - small numbers are not surprising, but big numbers mean the protocol is not working. That could be easily fixed by placing munlock_vma_page() at the start of page_remove_rmap(); but later in the series we shall want to batch the munlocking, and that too would tend to leave PageMlocked still set at the point when it is checked. So delete clear_page_mlock() now: leave it instead to release_pages() (and __page_cache_release()) to do this backstop clearing of Mlocked, when page refcount has fallen to 0.

mm: thp: tail page refcounting fix Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn) wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount(). He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero(). So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at all times. This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never succeed on any tail page. page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply account the tail page references there and transfer them to tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the head_page->_mapcount). While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages. That wasn't entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic. As opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page after get_user_page returns. It's safer to make get_page universally safe for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside get_user_pages()). get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for pmd_trans_huge). The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take the compound_lock but still only for tail pages. The direct-io paths are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it. A simple direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no overhead. So it's worth it. Ideally direct-io should stop calling get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages(). The spinlock in get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation and usually only run in I/O paths. This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to work without any further complexity associated to the tail page refcounting with THP.

mm: make folios_put() the basis of release_pages() Patch series "Rearrange batched folio freeing", v3. Other than the obvious "remove calls to compound_head" changes, the fundamental belief here is that iterating a linked list is much slower than iterating an array (5-15x slower in my testing). There's also an associated belief that since we iterate the batch of folios three times, we do better when the array is small (ie 15 entries) than we do with a batch that is hundreds of entries long, which only gives us the opportunity for the first pages to fall out of cache by the time we get to the end. It is possible we should increase the size of folio_batch. Hopefully the bots let us know if this introduces any performance regressions. This patch (of 3): By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios. We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of the batch is limited by folio_batch. This does reduce the maximum number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15). I do not expect this to make a significant difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.

mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast with their self lru_lock. After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could replace per node lru lock. In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control. Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are sth out of hands.

mm/swap.c: serialize memcg changes in pagevec_lru_move_fn Hugh Dickins' found a memcg change bug on original version: If we want to change the pgdat->lru_lock to memcg's lruvec lock, we have to serialize mem_cgroup_move_account during pagevec_lru_move_fn. The possible bad scenario would like: cpu 0 cpu 1 lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() if (!isolate_lru_page()) mem_cgroup_move_account spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock <== wrong lock. So we need TestClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), that serializes the memcg change. and then removing the PageLRU check in move_fn callee as the consequence. __pagevec_lru_add_fn() is different from the others, because the pages it deals with are, by definition, not yet on the lru. TestClearPageLRU is not needed and would not work, so __pagevec_lru_add() goes its own way.

mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast with their self lru_lock. After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could replace per node lru lock. In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control. Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are sth out of hands. Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200915165807.kpp7uhiw7l3loofu@ca-dmjordan1.us.oracle.com/ Hugh Dickins helped on the patch polish, thanks!

mm: make folios_put() the basis of release_pages() Patch series "Rearrange batched folio freeing", v3. Other than the obvious "remove calls to compound_head" changes, the fundamental belief here is that iterating a linked list is much slower than iterating an array (5-15x slower in my testing). There's also an associated belief that since we iterate the batch of folios three times, we do better when the array is small (ie 15 entries) than we do with a batch that is hundreds of entries long, which only gives us the opportunity for the first pages to fall out of cache by the time we get to the end. It is possible we should increase the size of folio_batch. Hopefully the bots let us know if this introduces any performance regressions. This patch (of 3): By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios. We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of the batch is limited by folio_batch. This does reduce the maximum number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15). I do not expect this to make a significant difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.

mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual virtual machine with device passthrough, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But the current code will cause the migration failure due to unexpected page refcounts, and eventually cause the virtual machine fail to start. If a page is added in LRU batch, its refcount increases one, remove the page from LRU batch decreases one. Page migration requires the page is not referenced by others except page mapping. Before migrating a page, we should try to drain the page from LRU batch in case the page is in it, however, folio_test_lru() is not sufficient to tell whether the page is in LRU batch or not, if the page is in LRU batch, the migration will fail. To solve the problem above, we modify the logic of adding to LRU batch. Before adding a page to LRU batch, we clear the LRU flag of the page so that we can check whether the page is in LRU batch by folio_test_lru(page). It's quite valuable, because likely we don't want to blindly drain the LRU batch simply because there is some unexpected reference on a page, as described above. This change makes the LRU flag of a page invisible for longer, which may impact some programs. For example, as long as a page is on a LRU batch, we cannot isolate it, and we cannot check if it's an LRU page. Further, a page can now only be on exactly one LRU batch. This doesn't seem to matter much, because a new page is allocated from buddy and added to the lru batch, or be isolated, it's LRU flag may also be invisible for a long time.

mm: vmscan: make rotations a secondary factor in balancing anon vs file We noticed a 2% webserver throughput regression after upgrading from 5.6. This could be tracked down to a shift in the anon/file reclaim balance (confirmed with swappiness) that resulted in worse reclaim efficiency and thus more kswapd activity for the same outcome. The change that exposed the problem is aae466b0052e ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for anonymous LRU"). By qualifying swapins based on their refault distance, it lowered the cost of anon reclaim in this workload, in turn causing (much) more anon scanning than before. Scanning the anon list is more expensive due to the higher ratio of mmapped pages that may rotate during reclaim, and so the result was an increase in %sys time. Right now, rotations aren't considered a cost when balancing scan pressure between LRUs. We can end up with very few file refaults putting all the scan pressure on hot anon pages that are rotated en masse, don't get reclaimed, and never push back on the file LRU again. We still only reclaim file cache in that case, but we burn a lot CPU rotating anon pages. It's "fair" from an LRU age POV, but doesn't reflect the real cost it imposes on the system. Consider rotations as a secondary factor in balancing the LRUs. This doesn't attempt to make a precise comparison between IO cost and CPU cost, it just says: if reloads are about comparable between the lists, or rotations are overwhelmingly different, adjust for CPU work. This fixed the regression on our webservers. It has since been deployed to the entire Meta fleet and hasn't caused any problems.

mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim root We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on the file cache instead. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim root We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on the file cache instead. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

/* Record cost event */
mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

mm: vmscan: make rotations a secondary factor in balancing anon vs file We noticed a 2% webserver throughput regression after upgrading from 5.6. This could be tracked down to a shift in the anon/file reclaim balance (confirmed with swappiness) that resulted in worse reclaim efficiency and thus more kswapd activity for the same outcome. The change that exposed the problem is aae466b0052e ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for anonymous LRU"). By qualifying swapins based on their refault distance, it lowered the cost of anon reclaim in this workload, in turn causing (much) more anon scanning than before. Scanning the anon list is more expensive due to the higher ratio of mmapped pages that may rotate during reclaim, and so the result was an increase in %sys time. Right now, rotations aren't considered a cost when balancing scan pressure between LRUs. We can end up with very few file refaults putting all the scan pressure on hot anon pages that are rotated en masse, don't get reclaimed, and never push back on the file LRU again. We still only reclaim file cache in that case, but we burn a lot CPU rotating anon pages. It's "fair" from an LRU age POV, but doesn't reflect the real cost it imposes on the system. Consider rotations as a secondary factor in balancing the LRUs. This doesn't attempt to make a precise comparison between IO cost and CPU cost, it just says: if reloads are about comparable between the lists, or rotations are overwhelmingly different, adjust for CPU work. This fixed the regression on our webservers. It has since been deployed to the entire Meta fleet and hasn't caused any problems.

So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast with their self lru_lock. After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could replace per node lru lock. In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control. Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are sth out of hands.

If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page() is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them. For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64 processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total time reduction with below patch.

vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs (PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU cost in the reclaim path. This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap. When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to (max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual virtual machine with device passthrough, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But the current code will cause the migration failure due to unexpected page refcounts, and eventually cause the virtual machine fail to start. If a page is added in LRU batch, its refcount increases one, remove the page from LRU batch decreases one. Page migration requires the page is not referenced by others except page mapping. Before migrating a page, we should try to drain the page from LRU batch in case the page is in it, however, folio_test_lru() is not sufficient to tell whether the page is in LRU batch or not, if the page is in LRU batch, the migration will fail. To solve the problem above, we modify the logic of adding to LRU batch. Before adding a page to LRU batch, we clear the LRU flag of the page so that we can check whether the page is in LRU batch by folio_test_lru(page). It's quite valuable, because likely we don't want to blindly drain the LRU batch simply because there is some unexpected reference on a page, as described above. This change makes the LRU flag of a page invisible for longer, which may impact some programs. For example, as long as a page is on a LRU batch, we cannot isolate it, and we cannot check if it's an LRU page. Further, a page can now only be on exactly one LRU batch. This doesn't seem to matter much, because a new page is allocated from buddy and added to the lru batch, or be isolated, it's LRU flag may also be invisible for a long time.

mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page() is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them. For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64 processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total time reduction with below patch. Other workloads with a lot of activate_page also benefits a lot too. Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see commit 7a608572a282a ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention")).

mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs (PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU cost in the reclaim path. This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap. When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to (max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast with their self lru_lock. After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could replace per node lru lock. In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control. Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are sth out of hands. Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200915165807.kpp7uhiw7l3loofu@ca-dmjordan1.us.oracle.com/ Hugh Dickins helped on the patch polish, thanks!

This patch (of 5): Use folio_activate() as an example: Before this series ------------------ if (!folio_test_active(folio) && !folio_test_unevictable(folio)) { struct folio_batch *fbatch; folio_get(folio); if (!folio_test_clear_lru(folio)) { folio_put(folio); return; } local_lock(&cpu_fbatches.lock); fbatch = this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_fbatches.activate); folio_batch_add_and_move(fbatch, folio, folio_activate_fn); local_unlock(&cpu_fbatches.lock); } } After this series ----------------- void folio_activate(struct folio *folio) { if (folio_test_active(folio) || folio_test_unevictable(folio)) return; folio_batch_add_and_move(folio, lru_activate, true); } And this is applied to all 6 folio_batch handlers in mm/swap.c. bloat-o-meter ------------- add/remove: 12/13 grow/shrink: 3/2 up/down: 4653/-4721 (-68) ... Total: Before=28083019, After=28082951, chg -0.00% This patch (of 5): Reduce indentation level by returning directly when there is no cleanup needed, i.e., if (condition) { | if (condition) { do_this(); | do_this(); return; | return; } else { | } do_that(); | } | do_that(); and if (condition) { | if (!condition) do_this(); | return; do_that(); | } | do_this(); return; | do_that(); Presumably the old style became repetitive as the result of copy and paste.

mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page() is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them. For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64 processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total time reduction with below patch. Other workloads with a lot of activate_page also benefits a lot too. Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see commit 7a608572a282a ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention")). On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages() to follow the same path? I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20 scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4 sockets. My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found even without below patch before). Below patch basically returns to the same as my first post. I tested some microbenchmarks: case-anon-cow-rand-mt 0.58% case-anon-cow-rand -3.30% case-anon-cow-seq-mt -0.51% case-anon-cow-seq -5.68% case-anon-r-rand-mt 0.23% case-anon-r-rand 0.81% case-anon-r-seq-mt -0.71% case-anon-r-seq -1.99% case-anon-rx-rand-mt 2.11% case-anon-rx-seq-mt 3.46% case-anon-w-rand-mt -0.03% case-anon-w-rand -0.50% case-anon-w-seq-mt -1.08% case-anon-w-seq -0.12% case-anon-wx-rand-mt -5.02% case-anon-wx-seq-mt -1.43% case-fork 1.65% case-fork-sleep -0.07% case-fork-withmem 1.39% case-hugetlb -0.59% case-lru-file-mmap-read-mt -0.54% case-lru-file-mmap-read 0.61% case-lru-file-mmap-read-rand -2.24% case-lru-file-readonce -0.64% case-lru-file-readtwice -11.69% case-lru-memcg -1.35% case-mmap-pread-rand-mt 1.88% case-mmap-pread-rand -15.26% case-mmap-pread-seq-mt 0.89% case-mmap-pread-seq -69.72% case-mmap-xread-rand-mt 0.71% case-mmap-xread-seq-mt 0.38% The most significent are: case-lru-file-readtwice -11.69% case-mmap-pread-rand -15.26% case-mmap-pread-seq -69.72% which use activate_page a lot. others are basically variations because each run has slightly difference.

mm/swap: Use local_lock for protection The various struct pagevec per CPU variables are protected by disabling either preemption or interrupts across the critical sections. Inside these sections spinlocks have to be acquired. These spinlocks are regular spinlock_t types which are converted to "sleeping" spinlocks on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Obviously sleeping locks cannot be acquired in preemption or interrupt disabled sections. local locks provide a trivial way to substitute preempt and interrupt disable instances. On a non PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel local_lock() maps to preempt_disable() and local_lock_irq() to local_irq_disable(). Create lru_rotate_pvecs containing the pagevec and the locallock. Create lru_pvecs containing the remaining pagevecs and the locallock. Add lru_add_drain_cpu_zone() which is used from compact_zone() to avoid exporting the pvec structure. Change the relevant call sites to acquire these locks instead of using preempt_disable() / get_cpu() / get_cpu_var() and local_irq_disable() / local_irq_save(). There is neither a functional change nor a change in the generated binary code for non PREEMPT_RT enabled non-debug kernels. When lockdep is enabled local locks have lockdep maps embedded. These allow lockdep to validate the protections, i.e. inappropriate usage of a preemption only protected sections would result in a lockdep warning while the same problem would not be noticed with a plain preempt_disable() based protection. local locks also improve readability as they provide a named scope for the protections while preempt/interrupt disable are opaque scopeless. Finally local locks allow PREEMPT_RT to substitute them with real locking primitives to ensure the correctness of operation in a fully preemptible kernel.

A !PageLRU page could be in the process of being released, reclaimed, migrated or on a remote pagevec that is currently being drained. Marking it PageActive is vunerable to races where PageLRU and Active bits are checked at the wrong time. Page reclaim will trigger VM_BUG_ONs but depending on when the race hits, it could also free a PageActive page to the page allocator and trigger a bad_page warning. Similarly a potential race exists between a per-cpu drain on a pagevec list and an activation on a remote CPU. lru_add_drain_cpu __pagevec_lru_add lru = page_lru(page); mark_page_accessed if (PageLRU(page)) activate_page else SetPageActive SetPageLRU(page); add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru); In this case a PageActive page is added to the inactivate list and later the inactive/active stats will get skewed. While the PageActive checks in vmscan could be removed and potentially dealt with, a skew in the statistics would be very difficult to detect. Hence this patch deals just with the common case where a page being marked accessed has just been added to the local pagevec.

mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and "deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in hot pages. The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty. A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are available from the same generation. The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers (N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This approach has the following advantages: 1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the eviction path. 2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first tier, since N=0.) 3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O workloads.

While the PageActive checks in vmscan could be removed and potentially dealt with, a skew in the statistics would be very difficult to detect. Hence this patch deals just with the common case where a page being marked accessed has just been added to the local pagevec.

mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec. The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing. Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1, MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it stores 0. There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim". Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2]. To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels: one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The protection of the former channel is by design stronger because: 1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit. 2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit. 3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering threads. There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed [3][4]. The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e., LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy. A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU additions again.

mm/munlock: mlock_page() munlock_page() batch by pagevec A weakness of the page->mlock_count approach is the need for lruvec lock while holding page table lock. That is not an overhead we would allow on normal pages, but I think acceptable just for pages in an mlocked area. But let's try to amortize the extra cost by gathering on per-cpu pagevec before acquiring the lruvec lock. I have an unverified conjecture that the mlock pagevec might work out well for delaying the mlock processing of new file pages until they have got off lru_cache_add()'s pagevec and on to LRU. The initialization of page->mlock_count is subject to races and awkward: 0 or !!PageMlocked or 1? Was it wrong even in the implementation before this commit, which just widens the window? I haven't gone back to think it through. Maybe someone can point out a better way to initialize it. Bringing lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable()'s mlock initialization into mm/mlock.c has helped: mlock_new_page(), using the mlock pagevec, rather than lru_cache_add()'s pagevec. Experimented with various orderings: the right thing seems to be for mlock_page() and mlock_new_page() to TestSetPageMlocked before adding to pagevec, but munlock_page() to leave TestClearPageMlocked to the later pagevec processing. Dropped the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail)s this time around: they have made their point, and the thp_nr_page()s already contain a VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() for that. This still leaves acquiring lruvec locks under page table lock each time the pagevec fills (or a THP is added): which I suppose is rather silly, since they sit on pagevec waiting to be processed long after page table lock has been dropped; but I'm disinclined to uglify the calling sequence until some load shows an actual problem with it (nothing wrong with taking lruvec lock under page table lock, just "nicer" to do it less).

mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed entirely after this series. Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup (i.e. executing in the root memcg). Before: 15.36% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string 13.31% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset 11.48% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_mpage_readpage 4.23% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_page_from_freelist 2.38% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] put_page 2.32% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __mem_cgroup_commit_charge 2.18% kswapd0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common 1.92% kswapd0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_page_list 1.86% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __radix_tree_lookup 1.62% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __pagevec_lru_add_fn After: 15.67% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string 13.48% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset 11.42% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_mpage_readpage 3.98% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_page_from_freelist 2.46% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] put_page 2.13% kswapd0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] shrink_page_list 1.88% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __radix_tree_lookup 1.67% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __pagevec_lru_add_fn 1.39% kswapd0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] free_pcppages_bulk 1.30% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree As you can see, the memcg footprint has shrunk quite a bit. text data bss dec hex filename 37970 9892 400 48262 bc86 mm/memcontrol.o.old 35239 9892 400 45531 b1db mm/memcontrol.o This patch (of 4): The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e. have an actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on. Worse, uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so requires a lot of synchronization. Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(), commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like what's currently done for swap-in: mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming pages from the memcg if necessary. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type. mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction. This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to drastically simplify uncharging. As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU additions again.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: move lazily freed pages to inactive list MADV_FREE is a hint that it's okay to discard pages if there is memory pressure and we use reclaimers(ie, kswapd and direct reclaim) to free them so there is no value keeping them in the active anonymous LRU so this patch moves them to inactive LRU list's head. This means that MADV_FREE-ed pages which were living on the inactive list are reclaimed first because they are more likely to be cold rather than recently active pages. An arguable issue for the approach would be whether we should put the page to the head or tail of the inactive list. I chose head because the kernel cannot make sure it's really cold or warm for every MADV_FREE usecase but at least we know it's not *hot*, so landing of inactive head would be a comprimise for various usecases. This fixes suboptimal behavior of MADV_FREE when pages living on the active list will sit there for a long time even under memory pressure while the inactive list is reclaimed heavily.

However, it is unlikely the compilers could do much damage here given that lru_add_pvec->nr is a "unsigned char" and there is an existing compiler barrier. Thus, annotate the reads using the data_race() macro. The data races were reported by KCSAN, BUG: KCSAN: data-race in lru_add_drain_cpu / rotate_reclaimable_page write to 0xffff9291ebcb8a40 of 1 bytes by interrupt on cpu 23: rotate_reclaimable_page+0x2df/0x490 pagevec_add at include/linux/pagevec.h:81 (inlined by) rotate_reclaimable_page at mm/swap.c:259 end_page_writeback+0x1b5/0x2b0 end_swap_bio_write+0x1d0/0x280 bio_endio+0x297/0x560 dec_pending+0x218/0x430 [dm_mod] clone_endio+0xe4/0x2c0 [dm_mod] bio_endio+0x297/0x560 blk_update_request+0x201/0x920 scsi_end_request+0x6b/0x4a0 scsi_io_completion+0xb7/0x7e0 scsi_finish_command+0x1ed/0x2a0 scsi_softirq_done+0x1c9/0x1d0 blk_done_softirq+0x181/0x1d0 __do_softirq+0xd9/0x57c irq_exit+0xa2/0xc0 do_IRQ+0x8b/0x190 ret_from_intr+0x0/0x42 delay_tsc+0x46/0x80 __const_udelay+0x3c/0x40 __udelay+0x10/0x20 kcsan_setup_watchpoint+0x202/0x3a0 __tsan_read1+0xc2/0x100 lru_add_drain_cpu+0xb8/0x3f0 lru_add_drain+0x25/0x40 shrink_active_list+0xe1/0xc80 shrink_lruvec+0x766/0xb70 shrink_node+0x2d6/0xca0 do_try_to_free_pages+0x1f7/0x9a0 try_to_free_pages+0x252/0x5b0 __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x458/0x1290 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3bb/0x450 alloc_pages_vma+0x8a/0x2c0 do_anonymous_page+0x16e/0x6f0 __handle_mm_fault+0xcd5/0xd40 handle_mm_fault+0xfc/0x2f0 do_page_fault+0x263/0x6f9 page_fault+0x34/0x40 read to 0xffff9291ebcb8a40 of 1 bytes by task 37761 on cpu 23: lru_add_drain_cpu+0xb8/0x3f0 lru_add_drain_cpu at mm/swap.c:602 lru_add_drain+0x25/0x40 shrink_active_list+0xe1/0xc80 shrink_lruvec+0x766/0xb70 shrink_node+0x2d6/0xca0 do_try_to_free_pages+0x1f7/0x9a0 try_to_free_pages+0x252/0x5b0 __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x458/0x1290 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3bb/0x450 alloc_pages_vma+0x8a/0x2c0 do_anonymous_page+0x16e/0x6f0 __handle_mm_fault+0xcd5/0xd40 handle_mm_fault+0xfc/0x2f0 do_page_fault+0x263/0x6f9 page_fault+0x34/0x40 2 locks held by oom02/37761: #0: ffff9281e5928808 (&mm->mmap_sem#2){++++}, at: do_page_fault #1: ffffffffb3ade380 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: fs_reclaim_acquire.part irq event stamp: 1949217 trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x1a/0x1c __do_softirq+0x2e7/0x57c __do_softirq+0x34c/0x57c irq_exit+0xa2/0xc0 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 23 PID: 37761 Comm: oom02 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc3-next-20200226+ #6 Hardware name: HP ProLiant BL660c Gen9, BIOS I38 10/17/2018 Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200228044018.1263-1-cai@lca.pw Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: deactivate invalidated pages Recently, there are reported problem about thrashing. (http://marc.info/?l=rsync&m=128885034930933&w=2) It happens by backup workloads(ex, nightly rsync). That's because the workload makes just use-once pages and touches pages twice. It promotes the page into active list so that it results in working set page eviction. Some app developer want to support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE. But other OSes don't support it, either. (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=128928979512086&w=2) By other approach, app developers use POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED. But it has a problem. If kernel meets page is writing during invalidate_mapping_pages, it can't work. It makes for application programmer to use it since they always have to sync data before calling fadivse(..POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to make sure the pages could be discardable. At last, they can't use deferred write of kernel so that they could see performance loss. (http://insights.oetiker.ch/linux/fadvise.html) In fact, invalidation is very big hint to reclaimer. It means we don't use the page any more. So let's move the writing page into inactive list's head if we can't truncate it right now. Why I move page to head of lru on this patch, Dirty/Writeback page would be flushed sooner or later. It can prevent writeout of pageout which is less effective than flusher's writeout.

mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page() is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them. For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64 processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total time reduction with below patch. Other workloads with a lot of activate_page also benefits a lot too. Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see commit 7a608572a282a ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention")). On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages() to follow the same path? I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20 scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4 sockets. My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found even without below patch before).

mm: introduce MADV_COLD Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: move lazily freed pages to inactive list MADV_FREE is a hint that it's okay to discard pages if there is memory pressure and we use reclaimers(ie, kswapd and direct reclaim) to free them so there is no value keeping them in the active anonymous LRU so this patch moves them to inactive LRU list's head. This means that MADV_FREE-ed pages which were living on the inactive list are reclaimed first because they are more likely to be cold rather than recently active pages. An arguable issue for the approach would be whether we should put the page to the head or tail of the inactive list. I chose head because the kernel cannot make sure it's really cold or warm for every MADV_FREE usecase but at least we know it's not *hot*, so landing of inactive head would be a comprimise for various usecases. This fixes suboptimal behavior of MADV_FREE when pages living on the active list will sit there for a long time even under memory pressure while the inactive list is reclaimed heavily. This basically breaks the whole purpose of using MADV_FREE to help the system to free memory which is might not be used.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual virtual machine with device passthrough, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But the current code will cause the migration failure due to unexpected page refcounts, and eventually cause the virtual machine fail to start. If a page is added in LRU batch, its refcount increases one, remove the page from LRU batch decreases one. Page migration requires the page is not referenced by others except page mapping. Before migrating a page, we should try to drain the page from LRU batch in case the page is in it, however, folio_test_lru() is not sufficient to tell whether the page is in LRU batch or not, if the page is in LRU batch, the migration will fail. To solve the problem above, we modify the logic of adding to LRU batch. Before adding a page to LRU batch, we clear the LRU flag of the page so that we can check whether the page is in LRU batch by folio_test_lru(page). It's quite valuable, because likely we don't want to blindly drain the LRU batch simply because there is some unexpected reference on a page, as described above. This change makes the LRU flag of a page invisible for longer, which may impact some programs. For example, as long as a page is on a LRU batch, we cannot isolate it, and we cannot check if it's an LRU page. Further, a page can now only be on exactly one LRU batch. This doesn't seem to matter much, because a new page is allocated from buddy and added to the lru batch, or be isolated, it's LRU flag may also be invisible for a long time.

mm/swap: reduce indentation level Patch series "mm/swap: remove boilerplate". This patch (of 5): Use folio_activate() as an example: Before this series ------------------ if (!folio_test_active(folio) && !folio_test_unevictable(folio)) { struct folio_batch *fbatch; folio_get(folio); if (!folio_test_clear_lru(folio)) { folio_put(folio); return; } local_lock(&cpu_fbatches.lock); fbatch = this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_fbatches.activate); folio_batch_add_and_move(fbatch, folio, folio_activate_fn); local_unlock(&cpu_fbatches.lock); } } After this series ----------------- void folio_activate(struct folio *folio) { if (folio_test_active(folio) || folio_test_unevictable(folio)) return; folio_batch_add_and_move(folio, lru_activate, true); } And this is applied to all 6 folio_batch handlers in mm/swap.c. bloat-o-meter ------------- add/remove: 12/13 grow/shrink: 3/2 up/down: 4653/-4721 (-68) ... Total: Before=28083019, After=28082951, chg -0.00% This patch (of 5): Reduce indentation level by returning directly when there is no cleanup needed, i.e., if (condition) { | if (condition) { do_this(); | do_this(); return; | return; } else { | } do_that(); | } | do_that(); and if (condition) { | if (!condition) do_this(); | return; do_that(); | } | do_this(); return; | do_that(); Presumably the old style became repetitive as the result of copy and paste.

mm: move lazily freed pages to inactive list MADV_FREE is a hint that it's okay to discard pages if there is memory pressure and we use reclaimers(ie, kswapd and direct reclaim) to free them so there is no value keeping them in the active anonymous LRU so this patch moves them to inactive LRU list's head. This means that MADV_FREE-ed pages which were living on the inactive list are reclaimed first because they are more likely to be cold rather than recently active pages. An arguable issue for the approach would be whether we should put the page to the head or tail of the inactive list. I chose head because the kernel cannot make sure it's really cold or warm for every MADV_FREE usecase but at least we know it's not *hot*, so landing of inactive head would be a comprimise for various usecases. This fixes suboptimal behavior of MADV_FREE when pages living on the active list will sit there for a long time even under memory pressure while the inactive list is reclaimed heavily. This basically breaks the whole purpose of using MADV_FREE to help the system to free memory which is might not be used.

mm: drop hotplug lock from lru_add_drain_all() Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the mm core function like lru_add_drain_all just asks for problems and the recent lockdep splat [1] just proves this. While the usage in that particular case might be wrong we should avoid the locking as lru_add_drain_all() is used in many places. It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually. We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by commit a459eeb7b852 ("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks inside the allocator"). All we have to care about is to handle - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead calling lru_add_drain_cpu the first part is already handled because the worker calls lru_add_drain which disables preemption when calling lru_add_drain_cpu on the local cpu it is draining. The later is true because page_alloc_cpu_dead is called on the controlling CPU after the hotplugged CPU vanished completely.

mm/swap: Do not abuse the seqcount_t latching API Commit eef1a429f234 ("mm/swap.c: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() calls") implemented an optimization mechanism to exit the to-be-started LRU drain operation (name it A) if another drain operation *started and finished* while (A) was blocked on the LRU draining mutex. This was done through a seqcount_t latch, which is an abuse of its semantics: 1. seqcount_t latching should be used for the purpose of switching between two storage places with sequence protection to allow interruptible, preemptible, writer sections. The referenced optimization mechanism has absolutely nothing to do with that. 2. The used raw_write_seqcount_latch() has two SMP write memory barriers to insure one consistent storage place out of the two storage places available. A full memory barrier is required instead: to guarantee that the pagevec counter stores visible by local CPU are visible to other CPUs -- before loading the current drain generation. Beside the seqcount_t API abuse, the semantics of a latch sequence counter was force-fitted into the referenced optimization. What was meant is to track "generations" of LRU draining operations, where "global lru draining generation = x" implies that all generations 0 < n <= x are already *scheduled* for draining -- thus nothing needs to be done if the current generation number n <= x.

mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.

mm/swap: Do not abuse the seqcount_t latching API Commit eef1a429f234 ("mm/swap.c: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() calls") implemented an optimization mechanism to exit the to-be-started LRU drain operation (name it A) if another drain operation *started and finished* while (A) was blocked on the LRU draining mutex. This was done through a seqcount_t latch, which is an abuse of its semantics: 1. seqcount_t latching should be used for the purpose of switching between two storage places with sequence protection to allow interruptible, preemptible, writer sections. The referenced optimization mechanism has absolutely nothing to do with that. 2. The used raw_write_seqcount_latch() has two SMP write memory barriers to insure one consistent storage place out of the two storage places available. A full memory barrier is required instead: to guarantee that the pagevec counter stores visible by local CPU are visible to other CPUs -- before loading the current drain generation. Beside the seqcount_t API abuse, the semantics of a latch sequence counter was force-fitted into the referenced optimization. What was meant is to track "generations" of LRU draining operations, where "global lru draining generation = x" implies that all generations 0 < n <= x are already *scheduled* for draining -- thus nothing needs to be done if the current generation number n <= x.

mm: disable LRU pagevec during the migration temporarily LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all before migrate_pages call. However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end. To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during ongoing migration until migrate is done. Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync migration) with below debug code. int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page, .. .. if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) { printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc); dump_page(page, "fail to migrate"); } The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500 during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced from 400 to 30. The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation. With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as well.

mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.

Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync migration) with below debug code. int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page, .. .. if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) { printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc); dump_page(page, "fail to migrate"); } The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500 during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced from 400 to 30. The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation. With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as well.

mm/swap: Do not abuse the seqcount_t latching API Commit eef1a429f234 ("mm/swap.c: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() calls") implemented an optimization mechanism to exit the to-be-started LRU drain operation (name it A) if another drain operation *started and finished* while (A) was blocked on the LRU draining mutex. This was done through a seqcount_t latch, which is an abuse of its semantics: 1. seqcount_t latching should be used for the purpose of switching between two storage places with sequence protection to allow interruptible, preemptible, writer sections. The referenced optimization mechanism has absolutely nothing to do with that. 2. The used raw_write_seqcount_latch() has two SMP write memory barriers to insure one consistent storage place out of the two storage places available. A full memory barrier is required instead: to guarantee that the pagevec counter stores visible by local CPU are visible to other CPUs -- before loading the current drain generation. Beside the seqcount_t API abuse, the semantics of a latch sequence counter was force-fitted into the referenced optimization. What was meant is to track "generations" of LRU draining operations, where "global lru draining generation = x" implies that all generations 0 < n <= x are already *scheduled* for draining -- thus nothing needs to be done if the current generation number n <= x. Remove the conceptually-inappropriate seqcount_t latch usage. Manually implement the referenced optimization using a counter and SMP memory barriers. Note, while at it, use the non-atomic variant of cpumask_set_cpu(), __cpumask_set_cpu(), due to the already existing mutex protection. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

mm: memcontrol: do not kill uncharge batching in free_pages_and_swap_cache free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks. This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills memcg uncharge batching which reduces res_counter spin_lock contention. Dave has noticed this with his page fault scalability test case on a large machine when the lock was basically dominating on all CPUs: 80.18% 80.18% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock | --- _raw_spin_lock | |--66.59%-- res_counter_uncharge_until | res_counter_uncharge | uncharge_batch | uncharge_list | mem_cgroup_uncharge_list | release_pages | free_pages_and_swap_cache | tlb_flush_mmu_free | | | |--90.12%-- unmap_single_vma | | unmap_vmas | | unmap_region | | do_munmap | | vm_munmap | | sys_munmap | | system_call_fastpath | | __GI___munmap | | | --9.88%-- tlb_flush_mmu | tlb_finish_mmu | unmap_region | do_munmap | vm_munmap | sys_munmap | system_call_fastpath | __GI___munmap In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been handled by reverting 05b843012335 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains inside dedicated memcgs. There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other than lru_lock held times. This logic, however, can be moved inside the function. mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them in a single run. The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages). However this code has no usage of pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) pages. This means that the lock acquisition frequency is approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled. The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache().

There's also an associated belief that since we iterate the batch of folios three times, we do better when the array is small (ie 15 entries) than we do with a batch that is hundreds of entries long, which only gives us the opportunity for the first pages to fall out of cache by the time we get to the end. It is possible we should increase the size of folio_batch. Hopefully the bots let us know if this introduces any performance regressions. This patch (of 3): By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios. We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of the batch is limited by folio_batch. This does reduce the maximum number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15). I do not expect this to make a significant difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.

mm: memcontrol: do not kill uncharge batching in free_pages_and_swap_cache free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks. This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills memcg uncharge batching which reduces res_counter spin_lock contention. Dave has noticed this with his page fault scalability test case on a large machine when the lock was basically dominating on all CPUs: 80.18% 80.18% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock | --- _raw_spin_lock | |--66.59%-- res_counter_uncharge_until | res_counter_uncharge | uncharge_batch | uncharge_list | mem_cgroup_uncharge_list | release_pages | free_pages_and_swap_cache | tlb_flush_mmu_free | | | |--90.12%-- unmap_single_vma | | unmap_vmas | | unmap_region | | do_munmap | | vm_munmap | | sys_munmap | | system_call_fastpath | | __GI___munmap | | | --9.88%-- tlb_flush_mmu | tlb_finish_mmu | unmap_region | do_munmap | vm_munmap | sys_munmap | system_call_fastpath | __GI___munmap In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been handled by reverting 05b843012335 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains inside dedicated memcgs. There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other than lru_lock held times. This logic, however, can be moved inside the function. mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them in a single run. The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages). However this code has no usage of pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) pages. This means that the lock acquisition frequency is approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled. The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache(). Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.

mm/swap: fix release_pages() when releasing devmap pages release_pages() is an optimized version of a loop around put_page(). Unfortunately for devmap pages the logic is not entirely correct in release_pages(). This is because device pages can be more than type MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC. There are in fact 4 types, private, public, FS DAX, and PCI P2PDMA. Some of these have specific needs to "put" the page while others do not. This logic to handle any special needs is contained in put_devmap_managed_page(). Therefore all devmap pages should be processed by this function where we can contain the correct logic for a page put. Handle all device type pages within release_pages() by calling put_devmap_managed_page() on all devmap pages. If put_devmap_managed_page() returns true the page has been put and we continue with the next page. A false return of put_devmap_managed_page() means the page did not require special processing and should fall to "normal" processing. This was found via code inspection while determining if release_pages() and the new put_user_pages() could be interchangeable.[1] [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190523172852.GA27175@iweiny-DESK2.sc.intel.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190605214922.17684-1-ira.weiny@intel.com Cc: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Reviewed-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>

mm/mmu_gather: add __tlb_remove_folio_pages() Add __tlb_remove_folio_pages(), which will remove multiple consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio, instead of only a single page. We'll be using this function when optimizing unmapping/zapping of large folios that are mapped by PTEs. We're using the remaining spare bit in an encoded_page to indicate that the next enoced page in an array contains actually shifted "nr_pages". Teach swap/freeing code about putting multiple folio references, and delayed rmap handling to remove page ranges of a folio. This extension allows for still gathering almost as many small folios as we used to (-1, because we have to prepare for a possibly bigger next entry), but still allows for gathering consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio. Note that we don't pass the folio pointer, because it is not required for now. Further, we don't support page_size != PAGE_SIZE, it won't be required for simple PTE batching. We have to provide a separate s390 implementation, but it's fairly straight forward. Another, more invasive and likely more expensive, approach would be to use folio+range or a PFN range instead of page+nr_pages. But, we should do that consistently for the whole mmu_gather. For now, let's keep it simple and add "nr_pages" only. Note that it is now possible to gather significantly more pages: In the past, we were able to gather ~10000 pages, now we can also gather ~5000 folio fragments that span multiple pages. A folio fragment on x86-64 can span up to 512 pages (2 MiB THP) and on arm64 with 64k in theory 8192 pages (512 MiB THP). Gathering more memory is not considered something we should worry about, especially because these are already corner cases. While we can gather more total memory, we won't free more folio fragments. As long as page freeing time primarily only depends on the number of involved folios, there is no effective change for !preempt configurations. However, we'll adjust tlb_batch_pages_flush() separately to handle corner cases where page freeing time grows proportionally with the actual memory size.

mm: drop tail page refcounting Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support. It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to ->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page.

mm: drop tail page refcounting Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support. It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to ->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned. The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for now.

mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance Placing munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() shifts most of the munlocking to clear_page_mlock(), since PageMlocked is typically still set when mapcount has fallen to 0. That is not what we want: we want /proc/vmstat's unevictable_pgs_cleared to remain as a useful check on the integrity of of the mlock/munlock protocol - small numbers are not surprising, but big numbers mean the protocol is not working. That could be easily fixed by placing munlock_vma_page() at the start of page_remove_rmap(); but later in the series we shall want to batch the munlocking, and that too would tend to leave PageMlocked still set at the point when it is checked. So delete clear_page_mlock() now: leave it instead to release_pages() (and __page_cache_release()) to do this backstop clearing of Mlocked, when page refcount has fallen to 0. If a pinned page occasionally gets counted as Mlocked and Unevictable until it is unpinned, that's okay. A slightly regrettable side-effect of this change is that, since release_pages() and __page_cache_release() may be called at interrupt time, those places which update NR_MLOCK with interrupts enabled had better use mod_zone_page_state() than __mod_zone_page_state() (but holding the lruvec lock always has interrupts disabled). This change, forcing Mlocked off when refcount 0 instead of earlier when mapcount 0, is not fundamental: it can be reversed if performance or something else is found to suffer; but this is the easiest way to separate the stats - let's not complicate that without good reason.

mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast with their self lru_lock. After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could replace per node lru lock. In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control. Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are sth out of hands. Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200915165807.kpp7uhiw7l3loofu@ca-dmjordan1.us.oracle.com/ Hugh Dickins helped on the patch polish, thanks!

mm: make folios_put() the basis of release_pages() Patch series "Rearrange batched folio freeing", v3. Other than the obvious "remove calls to compound_head" changes, the fundamental belief here is that iterating a linked list is much slower than iterating an array (5-15x slower in my testing). There's also an associated belief that since we iterate the batch of folios three times, we do better when the array is small (ie 15 entries) than we do with a batch that is hundreds of entries long, which only gives us the opportunity for the first pages to fall out of cache by the time we get to the end. It is possible we should increase the size of folio_batch. Hopefully the bots let us know if this introduces any performance regressions. This patch (of 3): By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios. We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of the batch is limited by folio_batch. This does reduce the maximum number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15). I do not expect this to make a significant difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.
