dcda9b0471 mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic 
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator.  This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes.  This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.

Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic.  Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success.  This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior.  Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs.  cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)

 - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
   attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
   doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
   it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
   aggressive reclaim

 - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
   allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
   context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
   the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
   the request is a performance optimization and there is another
   fallback for a slow path.

 - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
   non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
   some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
   context with an expensive slow path fallback.

 - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
   _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
   allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
   that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
   (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
   reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
   is not invoked.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
   behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
   will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
   won't be triggered.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
   This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.

Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic.  No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.

This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

0622622677 mm, vmscan: avoid thrashing anon lru when free + file is low 
The purpose of the code that commit 623762517e ("revert 'mm: vmscan:
do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low'") reintroduces is
to prefer swapping anonymous memory rather than trashing the file lru.

If the anonymous inactive lru for the set of eligible zones is
considered low, however, or the length of the list for the given reclaim
priority does not allow for effective anonymous-only reclaiming, then
avoid forcing SCAN_ANON.  Forcing SCAN_ANON will end up thrashing the
small list and leave unreclaimed memory on the file lrus.

If the inactive list is insufficient, fallback to balanced reclaim so
the file lru doesn't remain untouched.

385386cff4 mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters 
Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats"

Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page
cache.  For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec
level.  These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that
allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then
switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab
accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API.

I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually
substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller
when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM
accounting sites cgroup-aware.  But this is enough for Josef to base his
slab reclaim work on, so here goes.

This patch (of 5):

To re-implement slab cache vs.  page cache balancing, we'll need the
slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was
moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not
the zone, and the memcg.

We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps
its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels -
which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant.  But let's keep it
simple for now and just move them.  If anybody complains we can restore
the per-zone counters.

Track the following reclaim counters for every memory cgroup: PGREFILL,
PGSCAN, PGSTEAL, PGACTIVATE, PGDEACTIVATE, PGLAZYFREE and PGLAZYFREED.

These values are exposed using the memory.stats interface of cgroup v2.

The meaning of each value is the same as for global counters, available
using /proc/vmstat.

Also, for consistency, rename mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() to
count_memcg_event_mm().

747552b1e7 mm, THP, swap: enable THP swap optimization only if has compound map 
If there is no compound map for a THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that the map count of some sub-pages of the THP is 0.  So it is
better to split the THP before swapping out.  In this way, the sub-pages
not mapped will be freed, and we can avoid the unnecessary swap out
operations for these sub-pages.

b8f593cd08 mm, THP, swap: check whether THP can be split firstly 
To swap out THP (Transparent Huage Page), before splitting the THP, the
swap cluster will be allocated and the THP will be added into the swap
cache.  But it is possible that the THP cannot be split, so that we must
delete the THP from the swap cache and free the swap cluster.  To avoid
that, in this patch, whether the THP can be split is checked firstly.
The check can only be done racy, but it is good enough for most cases.

With the patch, the swap out throughput improves 3.6% (from about
4.16GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes.  The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system.  The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device.  To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

0f0746589e mm, THP, swap: move anonymous THP split logic to vmscan 
The add_to_swap aims to allocate swap_space(ie, swap slot and swapcache)
so if it fails due to lack of space in case of THP or something(hdd swap
but tries THP swapout) *caller* rather than add_to_swap itself should
split the THP page and retry it with base page which is more natural.

75f6d6d29a mm, THP, swap: unify swap slot free functions to put_swap_page 
Now, get_swap_page takes struct page and allocates swap space according
to page size(ie, normal or THP) so it would be more cleaner to introduce
put_swap_page which is a counter function of get_swap_page.  Then, it
calls right swap slot free function depending on page's size.

f2f43e566a mm/vmscan.c: fix unsequenced modification and access warning 
Clang and its -Wunsequenced emits a warning

  mm/vmscan.c:2961:25: error: unsequenced modification and access to 'gfp_mask' [-Wunsequenced]
                  .gfp_mask = (gfp_mask = current_gfp_context(gfp_mask)),
                                        ^

While it is not clear to me whether the initialization code violates the
specification (6.7.8 par 19 (ISO/IEC 9899) looks like it disagrees) the
code is quite confusing and worth cleaning up anyway.  Fix this by
reusing sc.gfp_mask rather than the updated input gfp_mask parameter.

With investigation, skipping page of isolate_lru_pages makes reclaim
void because it returns zero nr_taken easily so LRU shrinking is
effectively nothing and just increases priority aggressively.  Finally,
OOM happens.

The problem is that get_scan_count determines nr_to_scan with eligible
zones so although priority drops to zero, it couldn't reclaim any pages
if the LRU contains mostly ineligible pages.

get_scan_count:

        size = lruvec_lru_size(lruvec, lru, sc->reclaim_idx);
	size = size >> sc->priority;

Assumes sc->priority is 0 and LRU list is as follows.

	N-N-N-N-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H

(Ie, small eligible pages are in the head of LRU but others are
 almost ineligible pages)

In that case, size becomes 4 so VM want to scan 4 pages but 4 pages from
tail of the LRU are not eligible pages.  If get_scan_count counts
skipped pages, it doesn't reclaim any pages remained after scanning 4
pages so it ends up OOM happening.

This patch makes isolate_lru_pages try to scan pages until it encounters
eligible zones's pages.

499118e966 mm: introduce memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore} 
The previous patch ("mm: prevent potential recursive reclaim due to
clearing PF_MEMALLOC") has shown that simply setting and clearing
PF_MEMALLOC in current->flags can result in wrongly clearing a
pre-existing PF_MEMALLOC flag and potentially lead to recursive reclaim.
Let's introduce helpers that support proper nesting by saving the
previous stat of the flag, similar to the existing memalloc_noio_* and
memalloc_nofs_* helpers.  Convert existing setting/clearing of
PF_MEMALLOC within mm to the new helpers.

There are no known issues with the converted code, but the change makes
it more robust.

ccda7f4360 mm: memcontrol: use node page state naming scheme for memcg 
The memory controllers stat function names are awkwardly long and
arbitrarily different from the zone and node stat functions.

The current interface is named:

  mem_cgroup_read_stat()
  mem_cgroup_update_stat()
  mem_cgroup_inc_stat()
  mem_cgroup_dec_stat()
  mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
  mem_cgroup_inc_page_stat()
  mem_cgroup_dec_page_stat()

This patch renames it to match the corresponding node stat functions:

  memcg_page_state()		[node_page_state()]
  mod_memcg_state()		[mod_node_state()]
  inc_memcg_state()		[inc_node_state()]
  dec_memcg_state()		[dec_node_state()]
  mod_memcg_page_state()	[mod_node_page_state()]
  inc_memcg_page_state()	[inc_node_page_state()]
  dec_memcg_page_state()	[dec_node_page_state()]

71cd31135d mm: memcontrol: re-use node VM page state enum 
The current duplication is a high-maintenance mess, and it's painful to
add new items or query memcg state from the rest of the VM.

This increases the size of the stat array marginally, but we should aim
to track all these stats on a per-cgroup level anyway.

2a2e48854d mm: vmscan: fix IO/refault regression in cache workingset transition 
Since commit 59dc76b0d4 ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file
list") we noticed bigger IO spikes during changes in cache access
patterns.

The patch in question shrunk the inactive list size to leave more room
for the current workingset in the presence of streaming IO.  However,
workingset transitions that previously happened on the inactive list are
now pushed out of memory and incur more refaults to complete.

This patch disables active list protection when refaults are being
observed.  This accelerates workingset transitions, and allows more of
the new set to establish itself from memory, without eating into the
ability to protect the established workingset during stable periods.

The workloads that were measurably affected for us were hit pretty bad
by it, with refault/majfault rates doubling and tripling during cache
transitions, and the machines sustaining half-hour periods of 100% IO
utilization, where they'd previously have sub-minute peaks at 60-90%.

Stateful services that handle user data tend to be more conservative
with kernel upgrades.  As a result we hit most page cache issues with
some delay, as was the case here.

The severity seemed to warrant a stable tag.

In 2002, [1] introduced SWAP_AGAIN.  At that time, try_to_unmap_one used
spin_trylock(&mm->page_table_lock) so it's really easy to contend and
fail to hold a lock so SWAP_AGAIN to keep LRU status makes sense.

However, now we changed it to mutex-based lock and be able to block
without skip pte so there is few of small window to return SWAP_AGAIN so
remove SWAP_AGAIN and just return SWAP_FAIL.

d6622f6365 mm/vmscan: more restrictive condition for retry in do_try_to_free_pages 
By reviewing code, I find that when enter do_try_to_free_pages, the
may_thrash is always clear, and it will retry shrink zones to tap
cgroup's reserves memory by setting may_thrash when the former
shrink_zones reclaim nothing.

However, when memcg is disabled or on legacy hierarchy, or there do not
have any memcg protected by low limit, it should not do this useless
retry at all, for we do not have any cgroup's reserves memory to tap,
and we have already done hard work but made no progress, which as Michal
pointed out in former version, we are trying hard to control the retry
logical of page alloctor, and the current additional round of reclaim is
just lame.

Therefore, to avoid this unneeded retrying and make code more readable,
we remove the may_thrash field in scan_control, instead, introduce
memcg_low_reclaim and memcg_low_skipped, and only retry when
memcg_low_skipped, by setting memcg_low_reclaim.

e716f2eb24 mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idx 
kswapd is woken to reclaim a node based on a failed allocation request
from any eligible zone.  Once reclaiming in balance_pgdat(), it will
continue reclaiming until there is an eligible zone available for the
zone it was woken for.  kswapd tracks what zone it was recently woken
for in pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx.  If it has not been woken recently,
this zone will be 0.

However, the decision on whether to sleep is made on
kswapd_classzone_idx which is 0 without a recent wakeup request and that
classzone does not account for lowmem reserves.  This allows kswapd to
sleep when a low small zone such as ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA
request even if a stream of allocations cannot use that zone.  While
kswapd may be woken again shortly in the near future there are two
consequences -- the pgdat bits that control congestion are cleared
prematurely and direct reclaim is more likely as kswapd slept
prematurely.

This patch flips kswapd_classzone_idx to default to MAX_NR_ZONES (an
invalid index) when there has been no recent wakeups.  If there are no
wakeups, it'll decide whether to sleep based on the highest possible
zone available (MAX_NR_ZONES - 1).  It then becomes critical that the
"pgdat balanced" decisions during reclaim and when deciding to sleep are
the same.  If there is a mismatch, kswapd can stay awake continually
trying to balance tiny zones.

simoop was used to evaluate it again.  Two of the preparation patches
regressed the workload so they are included as the second set of
results.  Otherwise this patch looks artifically excellent

Swap-outs are equivalent to baseline.

Direct reclaim is reduced but not eliminated.  It's worth noting that
there are two periods of direct reclaim for this workload.  The first is
when it switches from preparing the files for the actual test itself.
It's a lot of file IO followed by a lot of allocs that reclaims heavily
for a brief window.  While direct reclaim is lower with clear-v2, it is
due to kswapd scanning aggressively and trying to reclaim the world
which is not the right thing to do.  With the patches applied, there is
still direct reclaim but the phase change from "creating work files" to
starting multiple threads that allocate a lot of anonymous memory faster
than kswapd can reclaim.

Scanning/reclaim efficiency is restored by this patch.

Page writes from reclaim context are back at 0 which is ideal.

Pages immediately reclaimed after IO completes is slightly improved but
it is expected this will vary slightly.

On UMA, there is almost no change so this is not expected to be a
universal win.

631b6e083e mm, vmscan: only clear pgdat congested/dirty/writeback state when balanced 
A pgdat tracks if recent reclaim encountered too many dirty, writeback
or congested pages.  The flags control whether kswapd writes pages back
from reclaim context, tags pages for immediate reclaim when IO
completes, whether processes block on wait_iff_congested and whether
kswapd blocks when too many pages marked for immediate reclaim are
encountered.

The state is cleared in a check function with side-effects.  With the
patch "mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep", the
timing of when the bits get cleared changed.  Due to the way the check
works, it'll clear the bits if ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA
allocation because it does not account for lowmem reserves properly.

For the simoop workload, kswapd is not stalling when it should due to
the premature clearing, writing pages from reclaim context like crazy
and generally being unhelpful.

This patch resets the pgdat bits related to page reclaim only when
kswapd is going to sleep.  The comparison with simoop is then

Read latency is improved, write latency is mostly improved but
allocation latency is regressed.  kswapd is still reclaiming
inefficiently, pages are being written back from writeback context and a
host of other issues.  However, given the change, it needed to be
spelled out why the side-effect was moved.

333b0a459c mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep 
Patch series "Reduce amount of time kswapd sleeps prematurely", v2.

The series is unusual in that the first patch fixes one problem and
introduces other issues that are noted in the changelog.  Patch 2 makes
a minor modification that is worth considering on its own but leaves the
kernel in a state where it behaves badly.  It's not until patch 3 that
there is an improvement against baseline.

This was mostly motivated by examining Chris Mason's "simoop" benchmark
which puts the VM under similar pressure to HADOOP.  It has been
reported that the benchmark has regressed severely during the last
number of releases.  While I cannot reproduce all the same problems
Chris experienced due to hardware limitations, there was a number of
problems on a 2-socket machine with a single disk.

These are latencies.  Read/write are threads reading fixed-size random
blocks from a simulated database.  The allocation latency is mmaping and
faulting regions of memory.  The p50, 95 and p99 reports the worst
latencies for 50% of the samples, 95% and 99% respectively.

For example, the report indicates that while the test was running 99% of
writes completed 99.75% faster.  It's worth noting that on a UMA machine
that no difference in performance with simoop was observed so milage
will vary.

It's noted that there is a slight impact to read latencies but it's
mostly due to IO scheduler decisions and offset by the large reduction
in other latencies.

This patch (of 3):

The check in prepare_kswapd_sleep needs to match the one in
balance_pgdat since the latter will return as soon as any one of the
zones in the classzone is above the watermark.  This is specially
important for higher order allocations since balance_pgdat will
typically reset the order to zero relying on compaction to create the
higher order pages.  Without this patch, prepare_kswapd_sleep fails to
wake up kcompactd since the zone balance check fails.

It was first reported against 4.9.7 that kswapd is failing to wake up
kcompactd due to a mismatch in the zone balance check between
balance_pgdat() and prepare_kswapd_sleep().

balance_pgdat() returns as soon as a single zone satisfies the
allocation but prepare_kswapd_sleep() requires all zones to do +the
same.  This causes prepare_kswapd_sleep() to never succeed except in the
order == 0 case and consequently, wakeup_kcompactd() is never called.
For the machine that originally motivated this patch, the state of
compaction from /proc/vmstat looked this way after a day and a half +of
uptime:

compact_migrate_scanned 240496
compact_free_scanned 76238632
compact_isolated 123472
compact_stall 1791
compact_fail 29
compact_success 1762
compact_daemon_wake 0

After applying the patch and about 10 hours of uptime the state looks
like this:

compact_migrate_scanned 59927299
compact_free_scanned 2021075136
compact_isolated 640926
compact_stall 4
compact_fail 2
compact_success 2
compact_daemon_wake 5160

Further notes from Mel that motivated him to pick this patch up and
resend it;

It was observed for the simoop workload (pressures the VM similar to
HADOOP) that kswapd was failing to keep ahead of direct reclaim.  The
investigation noted that there was a need to rationalise kswapd
decisions to reclaim with kswapd decisions to sleep.  With this patch on
a 2-socket box, there was a 49% reduction in direct reclaim scanning.

However, the impact otherwise is extremely negative.  Kswapd reclaim
efficiency dropped from 98% to 76%.  simoop has three latency-related
metrics for read, write and allocation (an anonymous mmap and fault).

Of greater concern is that the patch causes swapping and page writes
from kswapd context rose from 0 pages to 4189753 pages during the hour
the workload ran for.  By and large, the patch has very bad behaviour
but easily missed as the impact on a UMA machine is negligible.

This patch is included with the data in case a bisection leads to this
area.  This patch is also a pre-requisite for the rest of the series.

7dea19f9ee mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API 
GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently:

 - to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation
   context would be needed during the memory reclaim

 - to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the
   allocation is performed from a deep context already

 - to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other
   reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly

 - just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV

 - silence lockdep false positives

Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to
the MM.  Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS
metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer
doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the
FS layer.

In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used
and so it might be used unnecessarily.  We would like to get rid of
those as much as possible.  One way to do that is to use the flag in
scopes rather than isolated cases.  Such a scope is declared when really
necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within
the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic.

Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are
much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this
also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g.
crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey
the allocation context between the layers.

Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of
GFP_NOFS allocation context.  This is basically copying
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation
context GFP_NOIO.  The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is
just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently.
There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it.

PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS
implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO.  memalloc_noio_flags
is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts.  Xfs code paths preserve
their semantic.  kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag
anymore.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp.  ~__GFP_FS)
usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

802a3a92ad mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages 
When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages.  If the pages are
not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately.  Otherwise we
can't reclaim them.  We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by
setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal
swapout way.

We use normal page reclaim policy.  Since MADV_FREE pages are put into
inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed
according to their age.  This is expected, because we don't want to
reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

Based on Minchan's original patch

a128ca71fb mm: delete unnecessary TTU_* flags 
Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.

We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc.  Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.

 - Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
   we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
   MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
   reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
   fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
   environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
   our setup using MADV_FREE.

 - Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
   against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
   because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
   slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
   still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
   mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
   lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
   usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.

 - Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
   accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
   problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
   MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
   lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
   workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
   applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
   applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.

To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes).  The
patchset use the second idea.  The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages.  So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages.  Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages.  MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages.  These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.

For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages.  The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages.  The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side.  To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay.  Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily.  The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.

This patch (of 6):

Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary.  It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap.  For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.

Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary.  If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.

The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal
code

Now that reclaimability of a node is no longer based on the ratio
between pages scanned and theoretically reclaimable pages, we can remove
accounting tricks for pages skipped due to zone constraints.

c822f6223d mm: delete NR_PAGES_SCANNED and pgdat_reclaimable() 
NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free
event in the allocator.  This was used primarily to measure the
reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should
give up on them.  In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding
patches by a different mechanism.

Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically
exported to userspace as well.  It's however unlikely that anyone
outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way.

Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

688035f729 mm: don't avoid high-priority reclaim on memcg limit reclaim 
Commit 246e87a939 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
sought to avoid high reclaim priorities for memcg by forcing it to scan
a minimum amount of pages when lru_pages >> priority yielded nothing.
This was done at a time when reclaim decisions like dirty throttling
were tied to the priority level.

Nowadays, the only meaningful thing still tied to priority dropping
below DEF_PRIORITY - 2 is gating whether laptop_mode=1 is generally
allowed to write.  But that is from an era where direct reclaim was
still allowed to call ->writepage, and kswapd nowadays avoids writes
until it's scanned every clean page in the system.  Potential changes to
how quick sc->may_writepage could trigger are of little concern.

Remove the force_scan stuff, as well as the ugly multi-pass target
calculation that it necessitated.

a minimum amount of pages when lru_pages >> priority yielded nothing.

Commit b95a2f2d48 ("mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg
LRU lists"), due to switching global reclaim to a round-robin scheme
over all cgroups, had to restrict this forceful behavior to
unreclaimable zones in order to prevent massive overreclaim with many
cgroups.

The latter patch effectively neutered the behavior completely for all
but extreme memory pressure.  But in those situations we might as well
drop the reclaimers to lower priority levels.  Remove the check.

047d72c30e mm: remove seemingly spurious reclaimability check from laptop_mode gating 
Commit 1d82de618d ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") allowed laptop_mode=1 to start writing not just when the
priority drops to DEF_PRIORITY - 2 but also when the node is
unreclaimable.

That appears to be a spurious change in this patch as I doubt the series
was tested with laptop_mode, and neither is that particular change
mentioned in the changelog.  Remove it, it's still recent.

d450abd81b mm: fix check for reclaimable pages in PF_MEMALLOC reclaim throttling 
PF_MEMALLOC direct reclaimers get throttled on a node when the sum of
all free pages in each zone fall below half the min watermark.  During
the summation, we want to exclude zones that don't have reclaimables.
Checking the same pgdat over and over again doesn't make sense.

c73322d098 mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodes 
Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".

Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage.  We have seen similar cases at Facebook.

The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages.  In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met.  Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.

This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs.  This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer.  If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.

Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.

Patch #6 is the odd one out.  It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.

If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.

This patch (of 9):

Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:

$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

top - 13:42:59 up  3:37,  1 user,  load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01

KiB Mem:  31371520 total, 30915136 used,   456384 free,      320 buffers
KiB Swap:  6284224 total,   115712 used,  6168512 free.    48192 cached Mem

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
   76 root      20   0       0      0      0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3

At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.

Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance.  Up until
commit 1d82de618d ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism.  It considered zones whose
theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as
unreclaimable and backed away from them.  This guard was erroneously
removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node.

However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported
here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the
threshold is met.  Kswapd would stay awake anyway.

Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off.  If kswapd runs
through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single
page, make it back off from the node.  This is the same number of shots
direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM.  Kswapd will go to sleep on
that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus
proving the node reclaimable again.

c2f83143f1 mm, vmscan: clear PGDAT_WRITEBACK when zone is balanced 
Hillf Danton pointed out that since commit 1d82de618d ("mm, vmscan:
make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") that PGDAT_WRITEBACK is no
longer cleared.

It was not noticed as triggering it requires pages under writeback to
cycle twice through the LRU and before kswapd gets stalled.
Historically, such issues tended to occur on small machines writing
heavily to slow storage such as a USB stick.

Once kswapd stalls, direct reclaim stalls may be higher but due to the
fact that memory pressure is required, it would not be very noticable.

Michal Hocko suggested removing the flag entirely but the conservative
fix is to restore the intended PGDAT_WRITEBACK behaviour and clear the
flag when a suitable zone is balanced.

c55e8d035b mm: vmscan: move dirty pages out of the way until they're flushed 
We noticed a performance regression when moving hadoop workloads from
3.10 kernels to 4.0 and 4.6.  This is accompanied by increased pageout
activity initiated by kswapd as well as frequent bursts of allocation
stalls and direct reclaim scans.  Even lowering the dirty ratios to the
equivalent of less than 1% of memory would not eliminate the issue,
suggesting that dirty pages concentrate where the scanner is looking.

This can be traced back to recent efforts of thrash avoidance.  Where
3.10 would not detect refaulting pages and continuously supply clean
cache to the inactive list, a thrashing workload on 4.0+ will detect and
activate refaulting pages right away, distilling used-once pages on the
inactive list much more effectively.  This is by design, and it makes
sense for clean cache.  But for the most part our workload's cache
faults are refaults and its use-once cache is from streaming writes.  We
end up with most of the inactive list dirty, and we don't go after the
active cache as long as we have use-once pages around.

But waiting for writes to avoid reclaiming clean cache that *might*
refault is a bad trade-off.  Even if the refaults happen, reads are
faster than writes.  Before getting bogged down on writeback, reclaim
should first look at *all* cache in the system, even active cache.

To accomplish this, activate pages that are dirty or under writeback
when they reach the end of the inactive LRU.  The pages are marked for
immediate reclaim, meaning they'll get moved back to the inactive LRU
tail as soon as they're written back and become reclaimable.  But in the
meantime, by reducing the inactive list to only immediately reclaimable
pages, we allow the scanner to deactivate and refill the inactive list
with clean cache from the active list tail to guarantee forward
progress.

4eda482350 mm: vmscan: only write dirty pages that the scanner has seen twice 
Dirty pages can easily reach the end of the LRU while there are still
clean pages to reclaim around.  Don't let kswapd write them back just
because there are a lot of them.  It costs more CPU to find the clean
pages, but that's almost certainly better than to disrupt writeback from
the flushers with LRU-order single-page writes from reclaim.  And the
flushers have been woken up by that point, so we spend IO capacity on
flushing and CPU capacity on finding the clean cache.

Only start writing dirty pages if they have cycled around the LRU twice
now and STILL haven't been queued on the IO device.  It's possible that
the dirty pages are so sparsely distributed across different bdis,
inodes, memory cgroups, that the flushers take forever to get to the
ones we want reclaimed.  Once we see them twice on the LRU, we know
that's the quicker way to find them, so do LRU writeback.

bbef938429 mm: vmscan: remove old flusher wakeup from direct reclaim path 
Direct reclaim has been replaced by kswapd reclaim in pretty much all
common memory pressure situations, so this code most likely doesn't
accomplish the described effect anymore.  The previous patch wakes up
flushers for all reclaimers when we encounter dirty pages at the tail
end of the LRU.  Remove the crufty old direct reclaim invocation.

726d061fbd mm: vmscan: kick flushers when we encounter dirty pages on the LRU 
Memory pressure can put dirty pages at the end of the LRU without
anybody running into dirty limits.  Don't start writing individual pages
from kswapd while the flushers might be asleep.

Unlike the old direct reclaim flusher wakeup (removed in the next patch)
that flushes the number of pages just scanned, this patch wakes the
flushers for all outstanding dirty pages.  That seemed to perform better
in a synthetic test that pushes dirty pages to the end of the LRU and
into reclaim, because we know LRU aging outstrips writeback already, and
this way we give younger dirty pages a headstart rather than wait until
reclaim runs into them as well.  It also means less plugging and risk of
exhausting the struct request pool from reclaim.

There is a concern that this will cause temporary files that used to get
dirtied and truncated before writeback to now get written to disk under
memory pressure.  If this turns out to be a real problem, we'll have to
revisit this and tame the reclaim flusher wakeups.

1276ad68e2 mm: vmscan: scan dirty pages even in laptop mode 
Patch series "mm: vmscan: fix kswapd writeback regression".

We noticed a regression on multiple hadoop workloads when moving from
3.10 to 4.0 and 4.6, which involves kswapd getting tangled up in page
writeout, causing direct reclaim herds that also don't make progress.

I tracked it down to the thrash avoidance efforts after 3.10 that make
the kernel better at keeping use-once cache and use-many cache sorted on
the inactive and active list, with more aggressive protection of the
active list as long as there is inactive cache.  Unfortunately, our
workload's use-once cache is mostly from streaming writes.  Waiting for
writes to avoid potential reloads in the future is not a good tradeoff.

These patches do the following:

1. Wake the flushers when kswapd sees a lump of dirty pages. It's
   possible to be below the dirty background limit and still have cache
   velocity push them through the LRU. So start a-flushin'.

2. Let kswapd only write pages that have been rotated twice. This makes
   sure we really tried to get all the clean pages on the inactive list
   before resorting to horrible LRU-order writeback.

3. Move rotating dirty pages off the inactive list. Instead of churning
   or waiting on page writeback, we'll go after clean active cache. This
   might lead to thrashing, but in this state memory demand outstrips IO
   speed anyway, and reads are faster than writes.

Mel backported the series to 4.10-rc5 with one minor conflict and ran a
couple of tests on it.  Mix of read/write random workload didn't show
anything interesting.  Write-only database didn't show much difference
in performance but there were slight reductions in IO -- probably in the
noise.

simoop did show big differences although not as big as Mel expected.
This is Chris Mason's workload that similate the VM activity of hadoop.
Mel won't go through the full details but over the samples measured
during an hour it reported

The latencies are actually completely horrific in comparison to 4.4 (and
4.10-rc5 is worse than 4.9 according to historical data for reasons Mel
hasn't analysed yet).

Still, 95% of write latency (p95-write) is halved by the series and
allocation latency is way down.  Direct reclaim activity is one fifth of
what it was according to vmstats.  Kswapd activity is higher but this is
not necessarily surprising.  Kswapd efficiency is unchanged at 99% (99%
of pages scanned were reclaimed) but direct reclaim efficiency went from
77% to 99%

In the vanilla kernel, 627MB of data was written back from reclaim
context.  With the series, no data was written back.  With or without
the patch, pages are being immediately reclaimed after writeback
completes.  However, with the patch, only 1/8th of the pages are
reclaimed like this.

This patch (of 5):

We have an elaborate dirty/writeback throttling mechanism inside the
reclaim scanner, but for that to work the pages have to go through
shrink_page_list() and get counted for what they are.  Otherwise, we
mess up the LRU order and don't match reclaim speed to writeback.

Especially during deactivation, there is never a reason to skip dirty
pages; nothing is even trying to write them out from there.  Don't mess
up the LRU order for nothing, shuffle these pages along.

get_scan_count() considers the whole node LRU size when

 - doing SCAN_FILE due to many page cache inactive pages
 - calculating the number of pages to scan

In both cases this might lead to unexpected behavior especially on 32b
systems where we can expect lowmem memory pressure very often.

A large highmem zone can easily distort SCAN_FILE heuristic because
there might be only few file pages from the eligible zones on the node
lru and we would still enforce file lru scanning which can lead to
trashing while we could still scan anonymous pages.

The later use of lruvec_lru_size can be problematic as well.  Especially
when there are not many pages from the eligible zones.  We would have to
skip over many pages to find anything to reclaim but shrink_node_memcg
would only reduce the remaining number to scan by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX at
maximum.  Therefore we can end up going over a large LRU many times
without actually having chance to reclaim much if anything at all.  The
closer we are out of memory on lowmem zone the worse the problem will
be.

Fix this by filtering out all the ineligible zones when calculating the
lru size for both paths and consider only sc->reclaim_idx zones.

The patch would need to be tweaked a bit to apply to 4.10 and older but
I will do that as soon as it hits the Linus tree in the next merge
window.

fd53880373 mm, vmscan: cleanup lru size claculations 
lruvec_lru_size returns the full size of the LRU list while we sometimes
need a value reduced only to eligible zones (e.g.  for lowmem requests).
inactive_list_is_low is one such user.  Later patches will add more of
them.  Add a new parameter to lruvec_lru_size and allow it filter out
zones which are not eligible for the given context.

f0958906cd mm, vmscan: do not count freed pages as PGDEACTIVATE 
PGDEACTIVATE represents the number of pages moved from the active list
to the inactive list.  At least this sounds like the original motivation
of the counter.  move_active_pages_to_lru, however, counts pages which
got freed in the mean time as deactivated as well.  This is a very rare
event and counting them as deactivation in itself is not harmful but it
makes the code more convoluted than necessary - we have to count both
all pages and those which are freed which is a bit confusing.

After this patch the PGDEACTIVATE should have a slightly more clear
semantic and only count those pages which are moved from the active to
the inactive list which is a plus.

dcec0b60a8 mm, vmscan: add mm_vmscan_inactive_list_is_low tracepoint 
Currently we have tracepoints for both active and inactive LRU lists
reclaim but we do not have any which would tell us why we we decided to
age the active list.  Without that it is quite hard to diagnose
active/inactive lists balancing.  Add mm_vmscan_inactive_list_is_low
tracepoint to tell us this information.

5bccd16657 mm, vmscan: enhance mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive tracepoint 
mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive will currently report the number of
scanned and reclaimed pages.  This doesn't give us an idea how the
reclaim went except for the overall effectiveness though.  Export and
show other counters which will tell us why we couldn't reclaim some
pages.

	- nr_dirty, nr_writeback, nr_congested and nr_immediate tells
	  us how many pages are blocked due to IO
	- nr_activate tells us how many pages were moved to the active
	  list
	- nr_ref_keep reports how many pages are kept on the LRU due
	  to references (mostly for the file pages which are about to
	  go for another round through the inactive list)
	- nr_unmap_fail - how many pages failed to unmap

All these are rather low level so they might change in future but the
tracepoint is already implementation specific so no tools should be
depending on its stability.

3c710c1ad1 mm, vmscan: extract shrink_page_list reclaim counters into a struct 
shrink_page_list returns quite some counters back to its caller.
Extract the existing 5 into struct reclaim_stat because this makes the
code easier to follow and also allows further counters to be returned.

While we are at it, make all of them unsigned rather than unsigned long
as we do not really need full 64b for them (we never scan more than
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages at once).  This should reduce some stack space.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

32b3f2974a mm, vmscan: show LRU name in mm_vmscan_lru_isolate tracepoint 
mm_vmscan_lru_isolate currently prints only whether the LRU we isolate
from is file or anonymous but we do not know which LRU this is.

It is useful to know whether the list is active or inactive, since we
are using the same function to isolate pages from both of them and it's
hard to distinguish otherwise.

1265e3a69f mm, vmscan: show the number of skipped pages in mm_vmscan_lru_isolate 
mm_vmscan_lru_isolate shows the number of requested, scanned and taken
pages.  This is mostly OK but on 32b systems the number of scanned pages
is quite misleading because it includes both the scanned and skipped
pages.  Moreover the skipped part is scaled based on the number of taken
pages.  Let's report the exact numbers without any additional logic and
add the number of skipped pages.

This should make the reported data much more easier to interpret.
