Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this cycle, we've addressed some performance issues such as lock
contention, misbehaving compress_cache, allowing extent_cache for
compressed files, and new sysfs to adjust ra_size for fadvise.
In order to diagnose the performance issues quickly, we also added an
iostat which shows the IO latencies periodically.
On the stability side, we've found two memory leakage cases in the
error path in compression flow. And, we've also fixed various corner
cases in fiemap, quota, checkpoint=disable, zstd, and so on.
Enhancements:
- avoid long checkpoint latency by releasing nat_tree_lock
- collect and show iostats periodically
- support extent_cache for compressed files
- add a sysfs entry to manage ra_size given fadvise(POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL)
- report f2fs GC status via sysfs
- add discard_unit=%s in mount option to handle zoned device
Bug fixes:
- fix two memory leakages when an error happens in the compressed IO flow
- fix commpress_cache to get the right LBA
- fix fiemap to deal with compressed case correctly
- fix wrong EIO returns due to SBI_NEED_FSCK
- fix missing writes when enabling checkpoint back
- fix quota deadlock
- fix zstd level mount option
In addition to the above major updates, we've cleaned up several code
paths such as dio, unnecessary operations, debugfs/f2fs/status, sanity
check, and typos"

There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out
by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to
zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to running, like
switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped
frames.
To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory
of the process immediately when the app switches to forground. Calling
process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

Since merged pages are copied every time they need to be modified, the
write access time is different between shared and non-shared pages. Add
ksm_cow_time() function which evaluates latency of these COW breaks.
First, 4000 pages are allocated and the time, required to modify 1 byte in
every other page, is measured. After this, the pages are merged into 2000
pairs and in each pair, 1 page is modified (i.e. they are decoupled) to
detect COW breaks. The time needed to break COW of merged pages is then
compared with performance of non-shared pages.
The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -C
The output:
Total size: 15 MiB
Not merged pages:
Total time: 0.002185489 s
Average speed: 3202.945 MiB/s

In modern systems it's not unusual to have a system component monitoring
memory conditions of the system and tasked with keeping system memory
pressure under control. One way to accomplish that is to kill
non-essential processes to free up memory for more important ones.
Examples of this are Facebook's OOM killer daemon called oomd and
Android's low memory killer daemon called lmkd.
For such system component it's important to be able to free memory quickly
and efficiently. Unfortunately the time process takes to free up its
memory after receiving a SIGKILL might vary based on the state of the
process (uninterruptible sleep), size and OPP level of the core the
process is running. A mechanism to free resources of the target process
in a more predictable way would improve system's ability to control its
memory pressure.
Introduce process_mrelease system call that releases memory of a dying
process from the context of the caller. This way the memory is freed in a
more controllable way with CPU affinity and priority of the caller. The
workload of freeing the memory will also be charged to the caller. The
operation is allowed only on a dying process.
After previous discussions [1, 2, 3] the decision was made [4] to
introduce a dedicated system call to cover this use case.
The API is as follows,
int process_mrelease(int pidfd, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The process_mrelease() system call is used to free the memory of
an exiting process.
The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file
descriptor.
(See pidfd_open(2) for further information)
The flags argument is reserved for future use; currently, this
argument must be specified as 0.
RETURN VALUE
On success, process_mrelease() returns 0. On error, -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EBADF pidfd is not a valid PID file descriptor.
EAGAIN Failed to release part of the address space.
EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal; see signal(7).
EINVAL flags is not 0.
EINVAL The memory of the task cannot be released because the
process is not exiting, the address space is shared
with another live process or there is a core dump in
progress.
ENOSYS This system call is not supported, for example, without
MMU support built into Linux.
ESRCH The target process does not exist (i.e., it has terminated
and been waited on).

There are a lot of uses of memblock_find_in_range() along with
memblock_reserve() from the times memblock allocation APIs did not exist.
memblock_find_in_range() is the very core of memblock allocations, so any
future changes to its internal behaviour would mandate updates of all the
users outside memblock.
Replace the calls to memblock_find_in_range() with an equivalent calls to
memblock_phys_alloc() and memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make
memblock_find_in_range() private method of memblock.
This simplifies the callers, ensures that (unlikely) errors in
memblock_reserve() are handled and improves maintainability of
memblock_find_in_range().

Patch series "Introduce multi-preference mempolicy", v7.
This patch series introduces the concept of the MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY
mempolicy. This mempolicy mode can be used with either the
set_mempolicy(2) or mbind(2) interfaces. Like the MPOL_PREFERRED
interface, it allows an application to set a preference for nodes which
will fulfil memory allocation requests. Unlike the MPOL_PREFERRED mode,
it takes a set of nodes. Like the MPOL_BIND interface, it works over a
set of nodes. Unlike MPOL_BIND, it will not cause a SIGSEGV or invoke the
OOM killer if those preferred nodes are not available.
Along with these patches are patches for libnuma, numactl, numademo, and
memhog. They still need some polish, but can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/bwidawsk/numactl/-/tree/prefer-many It allows new
usage: `numactl -P 0,3,4`
The goal of the new mode is to enable some use-cases when using tiered memory
usage models which I've lovingly named.
1a. The Hare - The interconnect is fast enough to meet bandwidth and
latency requirements allowing preference to be given to all nodes with
"fast" memory.
1b. The Indiscriminate Hare - An application knows it wants fast
memory (or perhaps slow memory), but doesn't care which node it runs
on. The application can prefer a set of nodes and then xpu bind to
the local node (cpu, accelerator, etc). This reverses the nodes are
chosen today where the kernel attempts to use local memory to the CPU
whenever possible. This will attempt to use the local accelerator to
the memory.
2. The Tortoise - The administrator (or the application itself) is
aware it only needs slow memory, and so can prefer that.
Much of this is almost achievable with the bind interface, but the bind
interface suffers from an inability to fallback to another set of nodes if
binding fails to all nodes in the nodemask.
Like MPOL_BIND a nodemask is given. Inherently this removes ordering from the
preference.

Some internal discussion took place around the interface. There are two
alternatives which we have discussed, plus one I stuck in:
1. Ordered list of nodes. Currently it's believed that the added
complexity is nod needed for expected usecases.
2. A flag for bind to allow falling back to other nodes. This
confuses the notion of binding and is less flexible than the current
solution.
3. Create flags or new modes that helps with some ordering. This
offers both a friendlier API as well as a solution for more customized
usage. It's unknown if it's worth the complexity to support this.
Here is sample code for how this might work:
> // Prefer specific nodes for some something wacky
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY, 0x17c, 1024);
>
> // Default
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_SOCKET, NULL, 0);
> // which is the same as
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_DEFAULT, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Hare
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, NULL, 0);
>
> // The Tortoise
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE_REV, NULL, 0);
>
> // Prefer the fast memory of the first two sockets
> set_mempolicy(MPOL_PREFER_MANY | MPOL_F_PREFER_ORDER_TYPE, -1, 2);

This patch (of 5):
The NUMA APIs currently allow passing in a "preferred node" as a single
bit set in a nodemask. If more than one bit it set, bits after the first
are ignored.
This single node is generally OK for location-based NUMA where memory
being allocated will eventually be operated on by a single CPU. However,
in systems with multiple memory types, folks want to target a *type* of
memory instead of a location. For instance, someone might want some
high-bandwidth memory but do not care about the CPU next to which it is
allocated. Or, they want a cheap, high capacity allocation and want to
target all NUMA nodes which have persistent memory in volatile mode. In
both of these cases, the application wants to target a *set* of nodes, but
does not want strict MPOL_BIND behavior as that could lead to OOM killer
or SIGSEGV.
So add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy to support the multiple preferred nodes
requirement. This is not a pie-in-the-sky dream for an API. This was a
response to a specific ask of more than one group at Intel. Specifically:
1. There are existing libraries that target memory types such as
https://github.com/memkind/memkind. These are known to suffer from
SIGSEGV's when memory is low on targeted memory "kinds" that span more
than one node. The MCDRAM on a Xeon Phi in "Cluster on Die" mode is an
example of this.
2. Volatile-use persistent memory users want to have a memory policy
which is targeted at either "cheap and slow" (PMEM) or "expensive and
fast" (DRAM). However, they do not want to experience allocation
failures when the targeted type is unavailable.
3. Allocate-then-run. Generally, we let the process scheduler decide
on which physical CPU to run a task. That location provides a default
allocation policy, and memory availability is not generally considered
when placing tasks. For situations where memory is valuable and
constrained, some users want to allocate memory first, *then* allocate
close compute resources to the allocation. This is the reverse of the
normal (CPU) model. Accelerators such as GPUs that operate on
core-mm-managed memory are interested in this model.
A check is added in sanitize_mpol_flags() to not permit 'prefer_many'
policy to be used for now, and will be removed in later patch after all
implementations for 'prefer_many' are ready, as suggested by Michal Hocko.

The proactive compaction[1] gets triggered for every 500msec and run
compaction on the node for COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (usually order-9) pages
based on the value set to sysctl.compaction_proactiveness. Triggering the
compaction for every 500msec in search of COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER pages is
not needed for all applications, especially on the embedded system
usecases which may have few MB's of RAM. Enabling the proactive
compaction in its state will endup in running almost always on such
systems.
Other side, proactive compaction can still be very much useful for getting
a set of higher order pages in some controllable manner(controlled by
using the sysctl.compaction_proactiveness). So, on systems where enabling
the proactive compaction always may proove not required, can trigger the
same from user space on write to its sysctl interface. As an example, say
app launcher decide to launch the memory heavy application which can be
launched fast if it gets more higher order pages thus launcher can prepare
the system in advance by triggering the proactive compaction from
userspace.
This triggering of proactive compaction is done on a write to
sysctl.compaction_proactiveness by user.

drop_slab_node() is called as part of echo 2>/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
operation. It iterates over all memcgs and calls shrink_slab() which in
turn iterates over all slab shrinkers. Freed objects are counted and as
long as the total number of freed objects from all memcgs and shrinkers is
higher than 10, drop_slab_node() loops for another full memcgs*shrinkers
iteration.
This arbitrary constant threshold of 10 can result in effectively an
infinite loop on a system with large number of memcgs and/or parallel
activity that allocates new objects. This has been reported previously by
Chunxin Zang [1] and recently by our customer.
The previous report [1] has resulted in commit 069c411de4 ("mm/vmscan:
fix infinite loop in drop_slab_node") which added a check for signals
allowing the user to terminate the command writing to drop_caches. At the
time it was also considered to make the threshold grow with each iteration
to guarantee termination, but such patch hasn't been formally proposed
yet.
This patch implements the dynamically growing threshold. At first
iteration it's enough to free one object to continue, and this threshold
effectively doubles with each iteration. Our customer's feedback was
positive.
There is always a risk that this change will result on some system in a
previously terminating drop_caches operation to terminate sooner and free
fewer objects. Ideally the semantics would guarantee freeing all freeable
objects that existed at the moment of starting the operation, while not
looping forever for newly allocated objects, but that's not feasible to
track. In the less ideal solution based on thresholds, arguably the
termination guarantee is more important than the exhaustiveness guarantee.
If there are reports of large regression wrt being exhaustive, we can
tune how fast the threshold grows.

Some method is obviously needed to enable reclaim-based migration.
Just like traditional autonuma, there will be some workloads that will
benefit like workloads with more "static" configurations where hot pages
stay hot and cold pages stay cold. If pages come and go from the hot and
cold sets, the benefits of this approach will be more limited.
The benefits are truly workload-based and *not* hardware-based. We do not
believe that there is a viable threshold where certain hardware
configurations should have this mechanism enabled while others do not.
To be conservative, earlier work defaulted to disable reclaim- based
migration and did not include a mechanism to enable it. This proposes add
a new sysfs file
/sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled
as a method to enable it.
We are open to any alternative that allows end users to enable this
mechanism or disable it if workload harm is detected (just like
traditional autonuma).
Once this is enabled page demotion may move data to a NUMA node that does
not fall into the cpuset of the allocating process. This could be
construed to violate the guarantees of cpusets. However, since this is an
opt-in mechanism, the assumption is that anyone enabling it is content to
relax the guarantees.
