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.

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.

sysrq: SysRq : Manual OOM execution
sysrq: OOM request ignored because killer is disabled

The real reason is that there are no eligible tasks for the OOM killer
to select but since commit 7c5f64f844 ("mm: oom: deduplicate victim
selection code for memcg and global oom") the semantic of out_of_memory
has changed without updating moom_callback.
This patch updates moom_callback to tell that no task was eligible which
is the case for both oom killer disabled and no eligible tasks. In
order to help distinguish first case from the second add printk to both
oom_killer_{enable,disable}. This information is useful on its own
because it might help debugging potential memory allocation failures.

On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up,
because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages
released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or
misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to
undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be
detected.
Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON
flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not
be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

Cluster lock is used to protect the swap_cluster_info and corresponding
elements in swap_info_struct->swap_map[]. But it is found that now in
scan_swap_map_slots(), swap_avail_lock may be acquired when cluster lock
is held. This does no good except making the locking more complex and
improving the potential locking contention, because the
swap_info_struct->lock is used to protect the data structure operated in
the code already. Fix this via moving the corresponding operations in
scan_swap_map_slots() out of cluster lock.

Commit cbab0e4eec ("swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to
deadlock while waiting on discard I/O completion") fixed a deadlock in
read_swap_cache_async(). Because at that time, in swap allocation path,
a swap entry may be set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE, then wait for discarding to
complete before the page for the swap entry is added to the swap cache.
But in commit 815c2c543d ("swap: make swap discard async"), the
discarding for swap become asynchronous, waiting for discarding to
complete will be done before the swap entry is set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE.
So the comments in code is incorrect now. This patch fixes the
comments.
The cond_resched() added in the commit cbab0e4eec is not necessary now
too. But if we added some sleep in swap allocation path in the future,
there may be some hard to debug/reproduce deadlock bug. So it is kept.

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.

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

With this patch on top, write and allocation latencies are massively
improved. The read latencies are slightly impaired but it's worth
noting that this is mostly due to the IO scheduler and not directly
related to reclaim. The vmstats are a bit of a mix but the relevant
ones are as follows;

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.

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.

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.

With the discussion[1], I found it seems there are every PageFlags
functions return bool at this moment so we don't need double negation
any more. Although it's not a problem to keep it, it makes future users
confused to use double negation for them, too.
Remove such possibility.

The round_up() macro generates a couple of unnecessary instructions
in this usage:
48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax
48d1: 48 83 e8 01 sub $0x1,%rax
48d5: 48 0d ff 0f 00 00 or $0xfff,%rax
48db: 48 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%rax
48df: 48 c1 f8 0c sar $0xc,%rax
48e3: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx
48e6: 72 2e jb 4916 <filemap_fault+0x96>
If we change round_up() to ((x) + __round_mask(x, y)) & ~__round_mask(x, y)
then GCC can see through it and remove the mask (because that would be
dead code given the subsequent shift):
48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax
48d1: 48 05 ff 0f 00 00 add $0xfff,%rax
48d7: 48 c1 e8 0c shr $0xc,%rax
48db: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx
48de: 72 2e jb 490e <filemap_fault+0x8e>
But that's problematic because we'd evaluate 'y' twice. Converting
round_up into an inline function prevents it from being used in other
definitions. The easiest thing to do is just change these three usages
of round_up to use DIV_ROUND_UP. Also add an unlikely() because GCC's
heuristic is wrong in this case.

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.

Initscripts can use the information (protection levels) from
/proc/zoneinfo to configure vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio at boot.
vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array of ratios for each configured zone
on the system. If a zone is not populated on an arch, /proc/zoneinfo
suppresses its output.
This results in there not being a 1:1 mapping between the set of zones
emitted by /proc/zoneinfo and the zones configured by
vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio.
This patch shows statistics for non-populated zones in /proc/zoneinfo.
The zones exist and hold a spot in the vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio array.
Without this patch, it is not possible to determine which index in the
array controls which zone if one or more zones on the system are not
populated.
Remaining users of walk_zones_in_node() are unchanged. Files such as
/proc/pagetypeinfo require certain zone data to be initialized properly
for display, which is not done for unpopulated zones.

Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing
page information later. But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock
(or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap
entry. So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be
changed in another thread. If the page swap count is not 0, we should
not delete the page from the swap cache. This is fixed via checking
page swap count again after acquiring the page lock.
I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race
via a test program. If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by
multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and
swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.
That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and
the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance
regression.

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.

madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'. They are still
anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout. To distinguish
these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag.
MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like
used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once
there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE
pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to
reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.
To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into
LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny
nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming
MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active
file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be
reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE
pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also
means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is
suggested by Johannes.
This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to
avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it.
The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

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

The backoff mechanism is not needed. If we have MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES
loops without progress, we'll OOM anyway; backing off might cut one or
two iterations off that in the rare OOM case. If we have intermittent
success reclaiming a few pages, the backoff function gets reset also,
and so is of little help in these scenarios.
We might want a backoff function for when there IS progress, but not
enough to be satisfactory. But this isn't that. Remove it.

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().

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.

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.

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
Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
%Cpu(s): 0.0 us, 12.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 85.5 id, 2.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
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.

Each slab kmem cache has per cpu array caches. The array caches are
created when the kmem_cache is created, either via kmem_cache_create()
or lazily when the first object is allocated in context of a kmem
enabled memcg. Array caches are replaced by writing to /proc/slabinfo.
Array caches are protected by holding slab_mutex or disabling
interrupts. Array cache allocation and replacement is done by
__do_tune_cpucache() which holds slab_mutex and calls
kick_all_cpus_sync() to interrupt all remote processors which confirms
there are no references to the old array caches.
IPIs are needed when replacing array caches. But when creating a new
array cache, there's no need to send IPIs because there cannot be any
references to the new cache. Outside of memcg kmem accounting these
IPIs occur at boot time, so they're not a problem. But with memcg kmem
accounting each container can create kmem caches, so the IPIs are
wasteful.
Avoid unnecessary IPIs when creating array caches.

def ipi_count():

for l in f:

"This will remove support for AVR32 architecture from the kernel and

code in drivers is the next step"
Notes from previous discussion about this:
"The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.
Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
Microchip).
Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1.
When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to
properly link the network stack.
Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32
on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives
joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left
today, if anybody at all"

Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen.

more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.

framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.

The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes
crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good.
The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86
get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because
get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate
page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures.
(The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.)
But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to
page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the
get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on.
One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use
get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP
using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem
driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel
feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.)
So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the
get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into
__put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery:
Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be
removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap()
reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the
page to drop that reference.
This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the
percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(),
since it now maintains its own elevated reference.
This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going
forward.

Currently, file system's writepages() function must not fail with an
ENOMEM, since if they do, it's possible for buffered data to be lost.
This is because on a data integrity writeback writepages() gets called
but once, and if it returns ENOMEM, if you're lucky the error will get
reflected back to the userspace process calling fsync(). If you
aren't lucky, the user is unmounting the file system, and the dirty
pages will simply be lost.
For this reason, file system code generally will use GFP_NOFS, and in
some cases, will retry the allocation in a loop, on the theory that
"kernel livelocks are temporary; data loss is forever".
Unfortunately, this can indeed cause livelocks, since inside the
writepages() call, the file system is holding various mutexes, and
these mutexes may prevent the OOM killer from killing its targetted
victim if it is also holding on to those mutexes.
A better solution would be to allow writepages() to call the memory
allocator with flags that give greater latitude to the allocator to
fail, and then release its locks and return ENOMEM, and in the case of
background writeback, the writes can be retried at a later time. In
the case of data-integrity writeback retry after waiting a brief
amount of time.

This reverts commit 2947ba054a.
Dan Williams reported dax-pmem kernel warnings with the following signature:
WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 245 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155 percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0x1f5/0x200
percpu ref (dax_pmem_percpu_release [dax_pmem]) <= 0 (0) after switching to atomic
... and bisected it to this commit, which suggests possible memory corruption
caused by the x86 fast-GUP conversion.
He also pointed out:
"
This is similar to the backtrace when we were not properly handling
pud faults and was fixed with this commit: 220ced1676 "mm: fix
get_user_pages() vs device-dax pud mappings"
I've found some missing _devmap checks in the generic
get_user_pages_fast() path, but this does not fix the regression
[...]
"
So given that there are known bugs, and a pretty robust looking bisection
points to this commit suggesting that are unknown bugs in the conversion
as well, revert it for the time being - we'll re-try in v4.13.

Commit 6afcf8ef0c ("mm, compaction: fix NR_ISOLATED_* stats for pfn
based migration") moved the dec_node_page_state() call (along with the
page_is_file_cache() call) to after putback_lru_page().
But page_is_file_cache() can change after putback_lru_page() is called,
so it should be called before putback_lru_page(), as it was before that
patch, to prevent NR_ISOLATE_* stats from going negative.
Without this fix, non-CONFIG_SMP kernels end up hanging in the
while(too_many_isolated()) { congestion_wait() } loop in
shrink_active_list() due to the negative stats.

This reverts commit 374ad05ab6.
While the patch worked great for userspace allocations, the fact that
softirq loses the per-cpu allocator caused problems. It needs to be
redone taking into account that a separate list is needed for hard/soft
IRQs or alternatively find a cheap way of detecting reentry due to an
interrupt. Both are possible but sufficiently tricky that it shouldn't
be rushed.
Jesper had one method for allowing softirqs but reported that the cost
was high enough that it performed similarly to a plain revert. His
figures for netperf TCP_STREAM were as follows
Baseline v4.10.0 : 60316 Mbit/s
Current 4.11.0-rc6: 47491 Mbit/s
Jesper's patch : 60662 Mbit/s
This patch : 60106 Mbit/s
As this is a regression, I wish to revert to noirq allocator for now and
go back to the drawing board.

A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the
case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.
However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

The MM-notifier code currently dynamically initializes the srcu_struct
named "srcu" at subsys_initcall() time, and includes a BUG_ON() to check
this initialization in do_mmu_notifier_register(). Unfortunately, there
is no foolproof way to verify that an srcu_struct has been initialized,
given the possibility of an srcu_struct being allocated on the stack or
on the heap. This means that creating an srcu_struct_is_initialized()
function is not a reasonable course of action. Nor is peppering
do_mmu_notifier_register() with SRCU-specific #ifdefs an attractive
alternative.
This commit therefore uses DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to initialize
this srcu_struct at compile time, thus eliminating both the
subsys_initcall()-time initialization and the runtime BUG_ON().

Both MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE handled with down_read(mmap_sem).
It's critical to not clear pmd intermittently while handling MADV_FREE
to avoid race with MADV_DONTNEED:
CPU0: CPU1:
madvise_free_huge_pmd()
pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full()
madvise_dontneed()
zap_pmd_range()
pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) == 0 (without ptl)
// skip the pmd
set_pmd_at();
// pmd is re-established
It results in MADV_DONTNEED skipping the pmd, leaving it not cleared.
It violates MADV_DONTNEED interface and can result is userspace
misbehaviour.
Basically it's the same race as with numa balancing in
change_huge_pmd(), but a bit simpler to mitigate: we don't need to
preserve dirty/young flags here due to MADV_FREE functionality.

For MADV_DONTNEED to work properly with huge pages, it's critical to not

Stress testing of the current z3fold implementation on a 8-core system
revealed it was possible that a z3fold page deleted from its unbuddied
list in z3fold_alloc() would be put on another unbuddied list by
z3fold_free() while z3fold_alloc() is still processing it. This has
been introduced with commit 5a27aa822 ("z3fold: add kref refcounting")
due to the removal of special handling of a z3fold page not on any list
in z3fold_free().
To fix this, the z3fold page lock should be taken in z3fold_alloc()
before the pool lock is released. To avoid deadlocking, we just try to
lock the page as soon as we get a hold of it, and if trylock fails, we
drop this page and take the next one.

We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code.
vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain
per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run
on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory
allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one
rescuer thread this way.
On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which
doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all
workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created).
Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but

: kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages().
This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a
forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and
vmstat.

Just as observed in commit 4b0ece6fa0 ("mm: migrate: fix
remove_migration_pte() for ksm pages"), you cannot use page->index
calculations on ksm pages.
page_vma_mapped_walk() is relying on __vma_address(), where a ksm page
can lead it off the end of the page table, and into whatever nonsense is
in the next page, ending as an oops inside check_pte()'s pte_page().
KSM tells page_vma_mapped_walk() exactly where to look for the page, it
does not need any page->index calculation: and that's so also for all
the normal and file and anon pages - just not for THPs and their
subpages. Get out early in most cases: instead of a PageKsm test, move
down the earlier not-THP-page test, as suggested by Kirill.
I'm also slightly worried that this loop can stray into other vmas, so
added a vm_end test to prevent surprises; though I have not imagined
anything worse than a very contrived case, in which a page mlocked in
the next vma might be reclaimed because it is not mlocked in this vma.

except the memory range specified in the arguments. In addition, rework is

This function, like memblock_mem_limit_remove_map(), will not remove

later as "device memory."
See the commit a571d4eb55 ("mm/memblock.c: add new infrastructure to
