8b671fe1a8 mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level()
evict_folios() uses a second pass to reclaim folios that have gone through
page writeback and become clean before it finishes the first pass, since
folio_rotate_reclaimable() cannot handle those folios due to the
isolation.

The second pass tries to avoid potential double counting by deducting
scan_control->nr_scanned.  However, this can result in underflow of
nr_scanned, under a condition where shrink_folio_list() does not increment
nr_scanned, i.e., when folio_trylock() fails.

The underflow can cause the divisor, i.e., scale=scanned+reclaimed in
vmpressure_calc_level(), to become zero, resulting in the following crash:

  [exception RIP: vmpressure_work_fn+101]
  process_one_work at ffffffffa3313f2b

Since scan_control->nr_scanned has no established semantics, the potential
double counting has minimal risks.  Therefore, fix the problem by not
deducting scan_control->nr_scanned in evict_folios().

e5a119c4a6 mm/vmscan: drop checking if _deferred_list is empty before using TTU_SYNC
The optimization of list_empty(&folio->_deferred_list) aimed to prevent
increasing the PTL duration when a large folio is partially unmapped, for
example, from subpage 0 to subpage (nr - 2).

But Ryan's commit 5ed890ce51 ("mm: vmscan: avoid split during
shrink_folio_list()") actually splits this kind of large folios.  This
makes the "optimization" useless.

Additionally, the list_empty() technically required a data_race()
annotation.

68cd9050d8 mm: add swappiness= arg to memory.reclaim
Allow proactive reclaimers to submit an additional swappiness=<val>
argument to memory.reclaim.  This overrides the global or per-memcg
swappiness setting for that reclaim attempt.

For example:

echo "2M swappiness=0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim

will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 0 (no
swap) regardless of the vm.swappiness sysctl setting.

Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim.  The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim.  The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting.  However, there are a few
reasons we look to control the balance of file vs anon during proactive
reclaim, separately from reactive reclaim:

* Swapout should be limited to manage SSD write endurance.  In near-OOM
  situations we are fine with lots of swap-out to avoid OOMs.  As these
  are typically rare events, they have relatively little impact on write
  endurance.  However, proactive reclaim runs continuously and so its
  impact on SSD write endurance is more significant.  Therefore it is
  desireable to control swap-out for proactive reclaim separately from
  reactive reclaim

* Some userspace OOM killers like systemd-oomd[1] support OOM killing on
  swap exhaustion.  This makes sense if the swap exhaustion is triggered
  due to reactive reclaim but less so if it is triggered due to proactive
  reclaim (e.g.  one could see OOMs when free memory is ample but anon is
  just particularly cold).  Therefore, it's desireable to have proactive
  reclaim reduce or stop swap-out before the threshold at which OOM
  killing occurs.

In the case of Meta's Senpai proactive reclaimer, we adjust vm.swappiness
before writes to memory.reclaim[2].  This has been in production for
nearly two years and has addressed our needs to control proactive vs
reactive reclaim behavior but is still not ideal for a number of reasons:

* vm.swappiness is a global setting, adjusting it can race/interfere
  with other system administration that wishes to control vm.swappiness. 
  In our case, we need to disable Senpai before adjusting vm.swappiness.

* vm.swappiness is stateful - so a crash or restart of Senpai can leave
  a misconfigured setting.  This requires some additional management to
  record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.

With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.

410abb20ac mm: add defines for min/max swappiness
Patch series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim", v6.

This patch proposes augmenting the memory.reclaim interface with a
swappiness=<val> argument that overrides the swappiness value for that
instance of proactive reclaim.

Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim.  The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim.  The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting.  However, there are a few

  endurance.  However, proactive reclaim runs continuously and so its
  impact on SSD write endurance is more significant.  Therefore it is
  desireable to control swap-out for proactive reclaim separately from
  reactive reclaim

* Some userspace OOM killers like systemd-oomd[1] support OOM killing on
  swap exhaustion.  This makes sense if the swap exhaustion is triggered
  due to reactive reclaim but less so if it is triggered due to proactive
  reclaim (e.g.  one could see OOMs when free memory is ample but anon is
  just particularly cold).  Therefore, it's desireable to have proactive
  reclaim reduce or stop swap-out before the threshold at which OOM
  killing occurs.

In the case of Meta's Senpai proactive reclaimer, we adjust vm.swappiness
before writes to memory.reclaim[2].  This has been in production for
nearly two years and has addressed our needs to control proactive vs

* vm.swappiness is stateful - so a crash or restart of Senpai can leave
  a misconfigured setting.  This requires some additional management to
  record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.

With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.

Previously, this exact interface addition was proposed by Yosry[3].  In
response, Roman proposed instead an interface to specify precise
file/anon/slab reclaim amounts[4].  More recently Huan also proposed this
as well[5] and others similarly questioned if this was the proper
interface.

Previous proposals sought to use this to allow proactive reclaimers to
effectively perform a custom reclaim algorithm by issuing proactive
reclaim with different settings to control file vs anon reclaim (e.g.  to
only reclaim anon from some applications).  Responses argued that
adjusting swappiness is a poor interface for custom reclaim.

In contrast, I argue in favor of a swappiness setting not as a way to
implement custom reclaim algorithms but rather to bias the balance of anon
vs file due to differences of proactive vs reactive reclaim.  In this
context, swappiness is the existing interface for controlling this balance
and this patch simply allows for it to be configured differently for
proactive vs reactive reclaim.

Specifying explicit amounts of anon vs file pages to reclaim feels
inappropriate for this prupose.  Proactive reclaimers are un-aware of the
relative age of file vs anon for a cgroup which makes it difficult to
manage proactive reclaim of different memory pools.  A proactive reclaimer
would need some amount of anon reclaim attempts separate from the amount
of file reclaim attempts which seems brittle given that it's difficult to
observe the impact.

referring to the min and max swappiness.  This patch adds MIN_SWAPPINESS
and MAX_SWAPPINESS #defines to improve clarity.  There are no functional
changes.

order-1 folios in the page cache"), but there is a repeated check for
small folio (order 0) during each call of the

In addition, move all the checks into header file to save a function call
for non-large-rmappable or empty deferred_list folio.

a00ce85af2 mm: make alloc_demote_folio externally invokable for migration
Patch series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory", v6.

Introduction
============

With the advent of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, which will be called simply as
CXL memory in this cover letter, some systems are becoming more
heterogeneous having memory systems with different latency and bandwidth
characteristics.  They are usually handled as different NUMA nodes in
separate memory tiers and CXL memory is used as slow tiers because of its
protocol overhead compared to local DRAM.

In this kind of systems, we need to be careful placing memory pages on
proper NUMA nodes based on the memory access frequency.  Otherwise, some
frequently accessed pages might reside on slow tiers and it makes
performance degradation unexpectedly.  Moreover, the memory access
patterns can be changed at runtime.

To handle this problem, we need a way to monitor the memory access
patterns and migrate pages based on their access temperature.  The
DAMON(Data Access MONitor) framework and its DAMOS(DAMON-based Operation
Schemes) can be useful features for monitoring and migrating pages.  DAMOS
provides multiple actions based on DAMON monitoring results and it can be
used for proactive reclaim, which means swapping cold pages out with
DAMOS_PAGEOUT action, but it doesn't support migration actions such as
demotion and promotion between tiered memory nodes.

This series supports two new DAMOS actions; DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for
promotion from slow tiers and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for demotion from fast
tiers.  This prevents hot pages from being stuck on slow tiers, which
makes performance degradation and cold pages can be proactively demoted to
slow tiers so that the system can increase the chance to allocate more hot
pages to fast tiers.

The DAMON provides various tuning knobs but we found that the proactive
demotion for cold pages is especially useful when the system is running
out of memory on its fast tier nodes.

Our evaluation result shows that it reduces the performance slowdown
compared to the default memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system
runs under high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes.

DAMON configuration
===================

The specific DAMON configuration doesn't have to be in the scope of this
patch series, but some rough idea is better to be shared to explain the
evaluation result.

The DAMON provides many knobs for fine tuning but its configuration file
is generated by HMSDK[3].  It includes gen_config.py script that generates
a json file with the full config of DAMON knobs and it creates multiple
kdamonds for each NUMA node when the DAMON is enabled so that it can run
hot/cold based migration for tiered memory.

Evaluation Workload
===================

The performance evaluation is done with redis[4], which is a widely used
in-memory database and the memory access patterns are generated via
YCSB[5].  We have measured two different workloads with zipfian and latest
distributions but their configs are slightly modified to make memory usage
higher and execution time longer for better evaluation.

The idea of evaluation using these migrate_{hot,cold} actions covers
system-wide memory management rather than partitioning hot/cold pages of a
single workload.  The default memory allocation policy creates pages to
the fast tier DRAM node first, then allocates newly created pages to the
slow tier CXL node when the DRAM node has insufficient free space.  Once
the page allocation is done then those pages never move between NUMA
nodes.  It's not true when using numa balancing, but it is not the scope
of this DAMON based tiered memory management support.

If the working set of redis can be fit fully into the DRAM node, then the
redis will access the fast DRAM only.  Since the performance of DRAM only
is faster than partially accessing CXL memory in slow tiers, this
environment is not useful to evaluate this patch series.

To make pages of redis be distributed across fast DRAM node and slow CXL
node to evaluate our migrate_{hot,cold} actions, we pre-allocate some cold
memory externally using mmap and memset before launching redis-server.  We
assumed that there are enough amount of cold memory in datacenters as
TMO[6] and TPP[7] papers mentioned.

The evaluation sequence is as follows.

1. Turn on DAMON with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action for DRAM node and
   DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action for CXL node.  It demotes cold pages on DRAM
   node and promotes hot pages on CXL node in a regular interval.
2. Allocate a huge block of cold memory by calling mmap and memset at
   the fast tier DRAM node, then make the process sleep to make the fast
   tier has insufficient space for redis-server.
3. Launch redis-server and load prebaked snapshot image, dump.rdb.  The
   redis-server consumes 52GB of anon pages and 33GB of file pages, but
   due to the cold memory allocated at 2, it fails allocating the entire
   memory of redis-server on the fast tier DRAM node so it partially
   allocates the remaining on the slow tier CXL node.  The ratio of
   DRAM:CXL depends on the size of the pre-allocated cold memory.
4. Run YCSB to make zipfian or latest distribution of memory accesses to
   redis-server, then measure its execution time when it's completed.
5. Repeat 4 over 50 times to measure the average execution time for each
   run.
6. Increase the cold memory size then repeat goes to 2.

For each test at 4 took about a minute so repeating it 50 times almost
took about 1 hour for each test with a specific cold memory from 440GB to
500GB in 10GB increments for each evaluation.  So it took about more than
10 hours for both zipfian and latest workloads to get the entire
evaluation results.  Repeating the same test set multiple times doesn't
show much difference so I think it might be enough to make the result
reliable.

Evaluation Results
==================

All the result values are normalized to DRAM-only execution time because
the workload cannot be faster than DRAM-only unless the workload hits the
peak bandwidth but our redis test doesn't go beyond the bandwidth limit.

So the DRAM-only execution time is the ideal result without affected by
the gap between DRAM and CXL performance difference.  The NUMA node
environment is as follows.

  node0 - local DRAM, 512GB with a CPU socket (fast tier)
  node1 - disabled
  node2 - CXL DRAM, 96GB, no CPU attached (slow tier)

The following is the result of generating zipfian distribution to
redis-server and the numbers are averaged by 50 times of execution.

  1. YCSB zipfian distribution read only workload
  memory pressure with cold memory on node0 with 512GB of local DRAM.

  ====================+================================================+=========

Each test result is based on the execution environment as follows.

  DRAM-only:           redis-server uses only local DRAM memory.
  CXL-only:            redis-server uses only CXL memory.
  default:             default memory policy(MPOL_DEFAULT).
                       numa balancing disabled.
  DAMON tiered:        DAMON enabled with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for DRAM
                       nodes and DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for CXL nodes.
  DAMON lazy:          same as DAMON tiered, but turn on DAMON just
                       before making memory access request via YCSB.

The above result shows the "default" execution time goes up as the size of
cold memory is increased from 440G to 500G because the more cold memory
used, the more CXL memory is used for the target redis workload and this
makes the execution time increase.

However, "DAMON tiered" and other DAMON results show less slowdown because
the DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action at DRAM node proactively demotes
pre-allocated cold memory to CXL node and this free space at DRAM
increases more chance to allocate hot or warm pages of redis-server to
fast DRAM node.  Moreover, DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action at CXL node also
promotes hot pages of redis-server to DRAM node actively.

As a result, it makes more memory of redis-server stay in DRAM node
compared to "default" memory policy and this makes the performance
improvement.

Please note that the result numbers of "DAMON tiered" and "DAMON lazy" at
500G are marked with * stars, which means their test results are replaced
with reproduced tests that didn't have OOM issue.

That was needed because sometimes the test processes get OOM when DRAM has
insufficient space.  The DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT doesn't kick reclaim but just
gives up migration when there is not enough space at DRAM side.  The
problem happens when there is competition between normal allocation and
migration and the migration is done before normal allocation, then the
completely unrelated normal allocation can trigger reclaim, which incurs
OOM.

Because of this issue, I have also tested more cases with
"demotion_enabled" flag enabled to make such reclaim doesn't trigger OOM,
but just demote reclaimed pages.  The following test results show more
tests with "kswapd" marked.

  2. YCSB zipfian distribution read only workload (with demotion_enabled true)
  memory pressure with cold memory on node0 with 512GB of local DRAM.

Each test result is based on the exeuction environment as follows.

  DAMON tiered:        same as before
  DAMON lazy:          same as before
  DAMON tiered kswapd: same as DAMON tiered, but turn on
                       /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled to make
                       kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion.
  DAMON lazy kswapd:   same as DAMON lazy, but turn on
                       /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled to make
                       kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion.

The "DAMON tiered kswapd" and "DAMON lazy kswapd" didn't trigger OOM at
all unlike other tests because kswapd and direct reclaim from DRAM node
can demote reclaimed pages to CXL node independently from DAMON actions
and their results are slightly better than without having
"demotion_enabled".

In summary, the evaluation results show that DAMON memory management with
DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} actions reduces the performance slowdown compared
to the "default" memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system runs with
high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes.

Having these DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD actions can make
tiered memory systems run more efficiently under high memory pressures.


This patch (of 7):

The alloc_demote_folio can be used out of vmscan.c so it'd be better to
remove static keyword from it.

b82b530740 mm: vmscan: restore incremental cgroup iteration
Currently, reclaim always walks the entire cgroup tree in order to ensure
fairness between groups.  While overreclaim is limited in shrink_lruvec(),
many of our systems have a sizable number of active groups, and an even
bigger number of idle cgroups with cache left behind by previous jobs; the
mere act of walking all these cgroups can impose significant latency on
direct reclaimers.

In the past, we've used a save-and-restore iterator that enabled
incremental tree walks over multiple reclaim invocations.  This ensured
fairness, while keeping the work of individual reclaimers small.

However, in edge cases with a lot of reclaim concurrency, individual
reclaimers would sometimes not see enough of the cgroup tree to make
forward progress and (prematurely) declare OOM.  Consequently we switched
to comprehensive walks in 1ba6fc9af3 ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup
iteration between reclaimers").

To address the latency problem without bringing back the premature OOM
issue, reinstate the shared iteration, but with a restart condition to do
the full walk in the OOM case - similar to what we do for memory.low
enforcement and active page protection.

In the worst case, we do one more full tree walk before declaring
OOM. But the vast majority of direct reclaim scans can then finish
much quicker, while fairness across the tree is maintained:

- Before this patch, we observed that direct reclaim always takes more
  than 100us and most direct reclaim time is spent in reclaim cycles
  lasting between 1ms and 1 second. Almost 40% of direct reclaim time
  was spent on reclaim cycles exceeding 100ms.

- With this patch, almost all page reclaim cycles last less than 10ms,
  and a good amount of direct page reclaim finishes in under 100us. No
  page reclaim cycles lasting over 100ms were observed anymore.

The shared iterator state is maintaned inside the target cgroup, so
fair and incremental walks are performed during both global reclaim
and cgroup limit reclaim of complex subtrees.

0d648dd5c8 mm: drop the 'anon_' prefix for swap-out mTHP counters
The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback'
are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out
non-anonymous pages.  So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with
the old swap counter names.

This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the
field.

5ed890ce51 mm: vmscan: avoid split during shrink_folio_list()
Now that swap supports storing all mTHP sizes, avoid splitting large
folios before swap-out.  This benefits performance of the swap-out path by
eliding split_folio_to_list(), which is expensive, and also sets us up for
swapping in large folios in a future series.

If the folio is partially mapped, we continue to split it since we want to
avoid the extra IO overhead and storage of writing out pages
uneccessarily.

THP_SWPOUT and THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK counters should continue to count
events only for PMD-mappable folios to avoid user confusion.  THP_SWPOUT
already has the appropriate guard.  Add a guard for THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK. 
It may be appropriate to add per-size counters in future.

73bc32875e mm: hold PTL from the first PTE while reclaiming a large folio
Within try_to_unmap_one(), page_vma_mapped_walk() races with other PTE
modifications preceded by pte clear.  While iterating over PTEs of a large
folio, it only starts acquiring PTL from the first valid (present) PTE. 
PTE modifications can temporarily set PTEs to pte_none.  Consequently, the
initial PTEs of a large folio might be skipped in try_to_unmap_one().

For example, for an anon folio, if we skip PTE0, we may have PTE0 which is
still present, while PTE1 ~ PTE(nr_pages - 1) are swap entries after
try_to_unmap_one().

So folio will be still mapped, the folio fails to be reclaimed and is put
back to LRU in this round.

This also breaks up PTEs optimization such as CONT-PTE on this large folio
and may lead to accident folio_split() afterwards.  And since a part of
PTEs are now swap entries, accessing those parts will introduce overhead -
do_swap_page.  Although the kernel can withstand all of the above issues,
the situation still seems quite awkward and warrants making it more ideal.

The same race also occurs with small folios, but they have only one PTE,
thus, it won't be possible for them to be partially unmapped.

This patch holds PTL from PTE0, allowing us to avoid reading PTE values
that are in the process of being transformed.  With stable PTE values, we
can ensure that this large folio is either completely reclaimed or that
all PTEs remain untouched in this round.

A corner case is that if we hold PTL from PTE0 and most initial PTEs have
been really unmapped before that, we may increase the duration of holding
PTL.  Thus we only apply this optimization to folios which are still
entirely mapped (not in deferred_split list).

e42dfe4e0a mm: record the migration reason for struct migration_target_control
Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.

As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration.  When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio().  However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.

This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

This patch (of 2):

To support different hugetlb allocation strategies during hugetlb
migration based on various migration reasons, record the migration reason
in the migration_target_control structure as a preparation.

d221dd5fea mm, vmscan: retry kswapd's priority loop with cache_trim_mode off on failure
With cache_trim_mode on, reclaim logic doesn't bother reclaiming anon
pages.  However, it should be more careful to use the mode because it's
going to prevent anon pages from being reclaimed even if there are a huge
number of anon pages that are cold and should be reclaimed.  Even worse,
that leads kswapd_failures to reach MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES and stopping
kswapd from functioning until direct reclaim eventually works to resume
kswapd.

So kswapd needs to retry its scan priority loop with cache_trim_mode off
again if the mode doesn't work for reclaim.

The problematic behavior can be reproduced by:

   CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING enabled
   sysctl_numa_balancing_mode set to NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
   numa node0 (8GB local memory, 16 CPUs)
   numa node1 (8GB slow tier memory, no CPUs)

   Sequence:

   1) echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
   2) To emulate the system with full of cold memory in local DRAM, run
      the following dummy program and never touch the region:

         mmap(0, 8 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
              MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_POPULATE, -1, 0);

   3) Run any memory intensive work e.g. XSBench.
   4) Check if numa balancing is working e.i. promotion/demotion.
   5) Iterate 1) ~ 4) until numa balancing stops.

With this, you could see that promotion/demotion are not working because
kswapd has stopped due to ->kswapd_failures >= MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.

bc2ff4cbc3 mm: free folios in a batch in shrink_folio_list()
Use free_unref_page_batch() to free the folios.  This may increase the
number of IPIs from calling try_to_unmap_flush() more often, but that's
going to be very workload-dependent.  It may even reduce the number of
IPIs as we now batch-free large folios instead of freeing them one at a
time.

2864f3d0f5 mm: madvise: pageout: ignore references rather than clearing young
While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that
vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios
to go ahead.  It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus
we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan.

Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs
side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise,
folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap
is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after
clearing PTEs young).  But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed. 
But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is
quite silly like DoS.  So probably, we don't need to care.  Or ignoring
the new access during the quite small time gap is even better.

For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep
its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple
processes.  MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more
aggressive on reclamation.  To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply
pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages().

A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of
MADV_PAGEOUT,

 #define PGSIZE 4096
 main()
 {
 	int i;
 #define SIZE 512*1024*1024
 	volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
 			MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

 	for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long))
 		p[i] =  0x11;

 	madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
 }

803de9000f mm, vmscan: prevent infinite loop for costly GFP_NOIO | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations
Sven reports an infinite loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() for costly order
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations that are also GFP_NOIO.  Such combination
can happen in a suspend/resume context where a GFP_KERNEL allocation can
have __GFP_IO masked out via gfp_allowed_mask.

Quoting Sven:

1. try to do a "costly" allocation (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER)
   with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL set.

2. page alloc's __alloc_pages_slowpath tries to get a page from the
   freelist. This fails because there is nothing free of that costly
   order.

3. page alloc tries to reclaim by calling __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim,
   which bails out because a zone is ready to be compacted; it pretends
   to have made a single page of progress.

4. page alloc tries to compact, but this always bails out early because
   __GFP_IO is not set (it's not passed by the snd allocator, and even
   if it were, we are suspending so the __GFP_IO flag would be cleared
   anyway).

5. page alloc believes reclaim progress was made (because of the
   pretense in item 3) and so it checks whether it should retry
   compaction. The compaction retry logic thinks it should try again,
   because:
    a) reclaim is needed because of the early bail-out in item 4
    b) a zonelist is suitable for compaction

6. goto 2. indefinite stall.

(end quote)

The immediate root cause is confusing the COMPACT_SKIPPED returned from
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() (step 4) due to lack of __GFP_IO to be
indicating a lack of order-0 pages, and in step 5 evaluating that in
should_compact_retry() as a reason to retry, before incrementing and
limiting the number of retries.  There are however other places that
wrongly assume that compaction can happen while we lack __GFP_IO.

To fix this, introduce gfp_compaction_allowed() to abstract the __GFP_IO
evaluation and switch the open-coded test in try_to_compact_pages() to use
it.

Also use the new helper in:
- compaction_ready(), which will make reclaim not bail out in step 3, so
  there's at least one attempt to actually reclaim, even if chances are
  small for a costly order
- in_reclaim_compaction() which will make should_continue_reclaim()
  return false and we don't over-reclaim unnecessarily
- in __alloc_pages_slowpath() to set a local variable can_compact,
  which is then used to avoid retrying reclaim/compaction for costly
  allocations (step 5) if we can't compact and also to skip the early
  compaction attempt that we do in some cases

7d7ef0a468 mm: memcg: restore subtree stats flushing
Stats flushing for memcg currently follows the following rules:
- Always flush the entire memcg hierarchy (i.e. flush the root).
- Only one flusher is allowed at a time. If someone else tries to flush
  concurrently, they skip and return immediately.
- A periodic flusher flushes all the stats every 2 seconds.

The reason this approach is followed is because all flushes are serialized
by a global rstat spinlock.  On the memcg side, flushing is invoked from
userspace reads as well as in-kernel flushers (e.g.  reclaim, refault,
etc).  This approach aims to avoid serializing all flushers on the global
lock, which can cause a significant performance hit under high
concurrency.

This approach has the following problems:
- Occasionally a userspace read of the stats of a non-root cgroup will
  be too expensive as it has to flush the entire hierarchy [1].
- Sometimes the stats accuracy are compromised if there is an ongoing
  flush, and we skip and return before the subtree of interest is
  actually flushed, yielding stale stats (by up to 2s due to periodic
  flushing). This is more visible when reading stats from userspace,
  but can also affect in-kernel flushers.

The latter problem is particulary a concern when userspace reads stats
after an event occurs, but gets stats from before the event. Examples:
- When memory usage / pressure spikes, a userspace OOM handler may look
  at the stats of different memcgs to select a victim based on various
  heuristics (e.g. how much private memory will be freed by killing
  this). Reading stale stats from before the usage spike in this case
  may cause a wrongful OOM kill.
- A proactive reclaimer may read the stats after writing to
  memory.reclaim to measure the success of the reclaim operation. Stale
  stats from before reclaim may give a false negative.
- Reading the stats of a parent and a child memcg may be inconsistent
  (child larger than parent), if the flush doesn't happen when the
  parent is read, but happens when the child is read.

As for in-kernel flushers, they will occasionally get stale stats.  No
regressions are currently known from this, but if there are regressions,
they would be very difficult to debug and link to the source of the
problem.

This patch aims to fix these problems by restoring subtree flushing, and
removing the unified/coalesced flushing logic that skips flushing if there
is an ongoing flush.  This change would introduce a significant regression
with global stats flushing thresholds.  With per-memcg stats flushing
thresholds, this seems to perform really well.  The thresholds protect the
underlying lock from unnecessary contention.

This patch was tested in two ways to ensure the latency of flushing is
up to par, on a machine with 384 cpus:

- A synthetic test with 5000 concurrent workers in 500 cgroups doing
  allocations and reclaim, as well as 1000 readers for memory.stat
  (variation of [2]). No regressions were noticed in the total runtime.
  Note that significant regressions in this test are observed with
  global stats thresholds, but not with per-memcg thresholds.

- A synthetic stress test for concurrently reading memcg stats while
  memory allocation/freeing workers are running in the background,
  provided by Wei Xu [3]. With 250k threads reading the stats every
  100ms in 50k cgroups, 99.9% of reads take <= 50us. Less than 0.01%
  of reads take more than 1ms, and no reads take more than 100ms.

4376807bf2 mm/mglru: reclaim offlined memcgs harder
In the effort to reduce zombie memcgs [1], it was discovered that the
memcg LRU doesn't apply enough pressure on offlined memcgs.  Specifically,
instead of rotating them to the tail of the current generation
(MEMCG_LRU_TAIL) for a second attempt, it moves them to the next
generation (MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG) after the first attempt.

Not applying enough pressure on offlined memcgs can cause them to build
up, and this can be particularly harmful to memory-constrained systems.

8aa4206179 mm/mglru: respect min_ttl_ms with memcgs
While investigating kswapd "consuming 100% CPU" [1] (also see "mm/mglru:
try to stop at high watermarks"), it was discovered that the memcg LRU can
breach the thrashing protection imposed by min_ttl_ms.

Before the memcg LRU:
  kswapd()
    shrink_node_memcgs()
      mem_cgroup_iter()
        inc_max_seq()  // always hit a different memcg
    lru_gen_age_node()
      mem_cgroup_iter()
        check the timestamp of the oldest generation

After the memcg LRU:
  kswapd()
    shrink_many()
      restart:
        iterate the memcg LRU:
          inc_max_seq()  // occasionally hit the same memcg
          if raced with lru_gen_rotate_memcg():
            goto restart
    lru_gen_age_node()
      mem_cgroup_iter()
        check the timestamp of the oldest generation

Specifically, when the restart happens in shrink_many(), it needs to stick
with the (memcg LRU) generation it began with.  In other words, it should
neither re-read memcg_lru->seq nor age an lruvec of a different
generation.  Otherwise it can hit the same memcg multiple times without
giving lru_gen_age_node() a chance to check the timestamp of that memcg's
oldest generation (against min_ttl_ms).

5095a2b239 mm/mglru: try to stop at high watermarks
The initial MGLRU patchset didn't include the memcg LRU support, and it
relied on should_abort_scan(), added by commit f76c833788 ("mm:
multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs"), to "backoff to avoid
overshooting their aggregate reclaim target by too much".

Later on when the memcg LRU was added, should_abort_scan() was deemed
unnecessary, and the test results [1] showed no side effects after it was
removed by commit a579086c99 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: remove eviction
fairness safeguard").

However, that test used memory.reclaim, which sets nr_to_reclaim to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX.  So it can overshoot only by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX-1 pages,
i.e., from nr_reclaimed=nr_to_reclaim-1 to
nr_reclaimed=nr_to_reclaim+SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX-1.  Compared with the batch
size kswapd sets to nr_to_reclaim, SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX is tiny.  Therefore
that test isn't able to reproduce the worst case scenario, i.e., kswapd
overshooting GBs on large systems and "consuming 100% CPU" (see the Closes
tag).

Bring back a simplified version of should_abort_scan() on top of the memcg
LRU, so that kswapd stops when all eligible zones are above their
respective high watermarks plus a small delta to lower the chance of
KSWAPD_HIGH_WMARK_HIT_QUICKLY.  Note that this only applies to order-0
reclaim, meaning compaction-induced reclaim can still run wild (which is a
different problem).

081488051d mm/mglru: fix underprotected page cache
Unmapped folios accessed through file descriptors can be underprotected. 
Those folios are added to the oldest generation based on:

1. The fact that they are less costly to reclaim (no need to walk the
   rmap and flush the TLB) and have less impact on performance (don't
   cause major PFs and can be non-blocking if needed again).
2. The observation that they are likely to be single-use. E.g., for
   client use cases like Android, its apps parse configuration files
   and store the data in heap (anon); for server use cases like MySQL,
   it reads from InnoDB files and holds the cached data for tables in
   buffer pools (anon).

However, the oldest generation can be very short lived, and if so, it
doesn't provide the PID controller with enough time to respond to a surge
of refaults.  (Note that the PID controller uses weighted refaults and
those from evicted generations only take a half of the whole weight.) In
other words, for a short lived generation, the moving average smooths out
the spike quickly.

To fix the problem:
1. For folios that are already on LRU, if they can be beyond the
   tracking range of tiers, i.e., five accesses through file
   descriptors, move them to the second oldest generation to give them
   more time to age. (Note that tiers are used by the PID controller
   to statistically determine whether folios accessed multiple times
   through file descriptors are worth protecting.)
2. When adding unmapped folios to LRU, adjust the placement of them so
   that they are not too close to the tail. The effect of this is
   similar to the above.

23e9f01389 mm/vmstat: move pgdemote_* to per-node stats
Demotion will migrate pages across nodes.  Previously, only the global
demotion statistics were accounted for.  Changed them to per-node
statistics, making it easier to observe where demotion occurs on each
node.

This will help to identify which nodes are under pressure.

This patch also make pgdemote_* behind CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING, since
demotion is not available for !CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING

With this patch, here is a sample where node0 node1 are DRAM,
node3 is PMEM:
Global stats:
$ grep demote /proc/vmstat
pgdemote_kswapd 254288
pgdemote_direct 113497
pgdemote_khugepaged 0

Per-node stats:
$ grep demote /sys/devices/system/node/node0/vmstat # demotion source
pgdemote_kswapd 68454
pgdemote_direct 83431
pgdemote_khugepaged 0

76a0fb4fd5 delayacct: add memory reclaim delay in get_page_from_freelist
The current memory reclaim delay statistics only count the direct memory
reclaim of the task in do_try_to_free_pages().  In systems with NUMA open,
some tasks occasionally experience slower response times, but the total
count of reclaim does not increase, using ftrace can show that
node_reclaim has occurred.

The memory reclaim occurring in get_page_from_freelist() is also due to
heavy memory load.  To get the impact of tasks in memory reclaim, this
patch adds the statistics of the memory reclaim delay statistics for
__node_reclaim().

811244a501 mm: memcg: add THP swap out info for anonymous reclaim
At present, we support per-memcg reclaim strategy, however we do not know
the number of transparent huge pages being reclaimed, as we know the
transparent huge pages need to be splited before reclaim them, and they
will bring some performance bottleneck effect.  for example, when two
memcg (A & B) are doing reclaim for anonymous pages at same time, and 'A'
memcg is reclaiming a large number of transparent huge pages, we can
better analyze that the performance bottleneck will be caused by 'A'
memcg.  therefore, in order to better analyze such problems, there add THP
swap out info for per-memcg.
