2021-05-05mm: fs: invalidate BH LRU during page migrationMinchan Kim
Pages containing buffer_heads that are in one of the per-CPU buffer_head LRU caches will be pinned and thus cannot be migrated. This can prevent CMA allocations from succeeding, which are often used on platforms with co-processors (such as a DSP) that can only use physically contiguous memory. It can also prevent memory hot-unplugging from succeeding, which involves migrating at least MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes of memory, which ranges from 8 MiB to 1 GiB based on the architecture in use. Correspondingly, invalidate the BH LRU caches before a migration starts and stop any buffer_head from being cached in the LRU caches, until migration has finished.

2021-05-05mm: disable LRU pagevec during the migration temporarilyMinchan Kim
LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all before migrate_pages call. However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end. To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during ongoing migration until migrate is done. Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync migration) with below debug code. int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page, .. .. if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) { printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc); dump_page(page, "fail to migrate"); } The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500 during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced from 400 to 30. The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation. With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as well.

Add relock_page_lruvec() to replace repeated same code, no functional change.

2020-12-15mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lockAlex Shi
This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast with their self lru_lock. After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could replace per node lru lock. In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control. Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are sth out of hands. Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200915165807.kpp7uhiw7l3loofu@ca-dmjordan1.us.oracle.com/ Hugh Dickins helped on the patch polish, thanks!

2020-12-15mm/swap.c: serialize memcg changes in pagevec_lru_move_fnAlex Shi
Hugh Dickins' found a memcg change bug on original version: If we want to change the pgdat->lru_lock to memcg's lruvec lock, we have to serialize mem_cgroup_move_account during pagevec_lru_move_fn. The possible bad scenario would like: cpu 0 cpu 1 lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() if (!isolate_lru_page()) mem_cgroup_move_account spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock <== wrong lock. So we need TestClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), that serializes the memcg change. and then removing the PageLRU check in move_fn callee as the consequence. __pagevec_lru_add_fn() is different from the others, because the pages it deals with are, by definition, not yet on the lru. TestClearPageLRU is not needed and would not work, so __pagevec_lru_add() goes its own way.

2020-12-15mm/thp: move lru_add_page_tail() to huge_memory.cAlex Shi
Patch series "per memcg lru lock", v21. This patchset includes 3 parts: 1) some code cleanup and minimum optimization as preparation 2) use TestCleanPageLRU as page isolation's precondition 3) replace per node lru_lock with per memcg per node lru_lock Current lru_lock is one for each of node, pgdat->lru_lock, that guard for lru lists, but now we had moved the lru lists into memcg for long time. Still using per node lru_lock is clearly unscalable, pages on each of memcgs have to compete each others for a whole lru_lock. This patchset try to use per lruvec/memcg lru_lock to repleace per node lru lock to guard lru lists, make it scalable for memcgs and get performance gain. Currently lru_lock still guards both lru list and page's lru bit, that's ok. but if we want to use specific lruvec lock on the page, we need to pin down the page's lruvec/memcg during locking. Just taking lruvec lock first may be undermined by the page's memcg charge/migration. To fix this problem, we could take out the page's lru bit clear and use it as pin down action to block the memcg changes. That's the reason for new atomic func TestClearPageLRU. So now isolating a page need both actions: TestClearPageLRU and hold the lru_lock. The typical usage of this is isolate_migratepages_block() in compaction.c we have to take lru bit before lru lock, that serialized the page isolation in memcg page charge/migration which will change page's lruvec and new lru_lock in it. The above solution suggested by Johannes Weiner, and based on his new memcg charge path, then have this patchset. (Hugh Dickins tested and contributed much code from compaction fix to general code polish, thanks a lot!). Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box on v18, which has no much different with this v20. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200915165807.kpp7uhiw7l3loofu@ca-dmjordan1.us.oracle.com/ Thanks to Hugh Dickins and Konstantin Khlebnikov, they both brought this idea 8 years ago, and others who gave comments as well: Daniel Jordan, Mel Gorman, Shakeel Butt, Matthew Wilcox, Alexander Duyck etc. Thanks for Testing support from Intel 0day and Rong Chen, Fengguang Wu, and Yun Wang. Hugh Dickins also shared his kbuild-swap case. This patch (of 19): lru_add_page_tail() is only used in huge_memory.c, defining it in other file with a CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE macro restrict just looks weird. Let's move it THP. And make it static as Hugh Dickins suggested.

2020-12-15mm: handle zone device pages in release_pages()Ralph Campbell
release_pages() is an optimized, inlined version of __put_pages() except that zone device struct pages that are not page_is_devmap_managed() (i.e., memory_type MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC and MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA), fall through to the code that could return the zone device page to the page allocator instead of adjusting the pgmap reference count. Clearly these type of pages are not having the reference count decremented to zero via release_pages() or page allocation problems would be seen. Just to be safe, handle the 1 to zero case in release_pages() like __put_page() does.

2020-10-13mm: move call to compound_head() in release_pages()Ralph Campbell
The function is_huge_zero_page() doesn't call compound_head() to make sure the page pointer is a head page. The call to is_huge_zero_page() in release_pages() is made before compound_head() is called so the test would fail if release_pages() was called with a tail page of the huge_zero_page and put_page_testzero() would be called releasing the page. This is unlikely to be happening in normal use or we would be seeing all sorts of process data corruption when accessing a THP zero page. Looking at other places where is_huge_zero_page() is called, all seem to only pass a head page so I think the right solution is to move the call to compound_head() in release_pages() to a point before calling is_huge_zero_page().

2020-10-13mm: remove superfluous __ClearPageActive()Yu Zhao
To activate a page, mark_page_accessed() always holds a reference on it. It either gets a new reference when adding a page to lru_pvecs.activate_page or reuses an existing one it previously got when it added a page to lru_pvecs.lru_add. So it doesn't call SetPageActive() on a page that doesn't have any reference left. Therefore, the race is impossible these days (I didn't brother to dig into its history). For other paths, namely reclaim and migration, a reference count is always held while calling SetPageActive() on a page. SetPageSlabPfmemalloc() also uses SetPageActive(), but it's irrelevant to LRU pages.

2020-09-10mm/swap: Do not abuse the seqcount_t latching APIAhmed S. Darwish
Commit eef1a429f234 ("mm/swap.c: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() calls") implemented an optimization mechanism to exit the to-be-started LRU drain operation (name it A) if another drain operation *started and finished* while (A) was blocked on the LRU draining mutex. This was done through a seqcount_t latch, which is an abuse of its semantics: 1. seqcount_t latching should be used for the purpose of switching between two storage places with sequence protection to allow interruptible, preemptible, writer sections. The referenced optimization mechanism has absolutely nothing to do with that. 2. The used raw_write_seqcount_latch() has two SMP write memory barriers to insure one consistent storage place out of the two storage places available. A full memory barrier is required instead: to guarantee that the pagevec counter stores visible by local CPU are visible to other CPUs -- before loading the current drain generation. Beside the seqcount_t API abuse, the semantics of a latch sequence counter was force-fitted into the referenced optimization. What was meant is to track "generations" of LRU draining operations, where "global lru draining generation = x" implies that all generations 0 < n <= x are already *scheduled* for draining -- thus nothing needs to be done if the current generation number n <= x. Remove the conceptually-inappropriate seqcount_t latch usage. Manually implement the referenced optimization using a counter and SMP memory barriers. Note, while at it, use the non-atomic variant of cpumask_set_cpu(), __cpumask_set_cpu(), due to the already existing mutex protection. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

2020-08-14mm/swap.c: annotate data races for lru_rotate_pvecsQian Cai
Read to lru_add_pvec->nr could be interrupted and then write to the same variable. The write has local interrupt disabled, but the plain reads result in data races. However, it is unlikely the compilers could do much damage here given that lru_add_pvec->nr is a "unsigned char" and there is an existing compiler barrier. Thus, annotate the reads using the data_race() macro.

2020-08-12mm/vmscan: protect the workingset on anonymous LRUJoonsoo Kim
In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is started on active list. Growing active list results in rebalancing active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive list. Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all. Following is an example of this situation. Assume that 50 hot pages on active list. Numbers denote the number of pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive). 1. 50 hot pages on active list 50(h) | 0 2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(uo) | 50(h) 3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h) This patch tries to fix this issue. Like as file LRU, newly created or swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list. They are promoted to active list if enough reference happens. This simple modification changes the above example as following. 1. 50 hot pages on active list 50(h) | 0 2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(h) | 50(uo) 3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo) As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected. Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive). To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

2020-06-03mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO costJohannes Weiner
The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

2020-06-03mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim rootJohannes Weiner
We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on the file cache instead. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

2020-06-03mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashingJohannes Weiner
Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively used pages, but there are a few problems with it: 1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU. 2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations, the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim. Since commit a528910e12ec ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events, they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is too small for its workingset and needs to grow. For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list. Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off. Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

2020-06-03mm: deactivations shouldn't bias the LRU balanceJohannes Weiner
Operations like MADV_FREE, FADV_DONTNEED etc. currently move any affected active pages to the inactive list to accelerate their reclaim (good) but also steer page reclaim toward that LRU type, or away from the other (bad). The reason why this is undesirable is that such operations are not part of the regular page aging cycle, and rather a fluke that doesn't say much about the remaining pages on that list; they might all be in heavy use, and once the chunk of easy victims has been purged, the VM continues to apply elevated pressure on those remaining hot pages. The other LRU, meanwhile, might have easily reclaimable pages, and there was never a need to steer away from it in the first place. As the previous patch outlined, we should focus on recording actually observed cost to steer the balance rather than speculating about the potential value of one LRU list over the other. In that spirit, leave explicitely deactivated pages to the LRU algorithm to pick up, and let rotations decide which list is the easiest to reclaim.

2020-06-03mm: base LRU balancing on an explicit cost modelJohannes Weiner
Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of "value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to the head of the list. There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm. Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice, i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine, but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once. The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify. This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete, actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head. Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of recently evicted pages. Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost() function.

2020-06-03mm: remove use-once cache bias from LRU balancingJohannes Weiner
When the splitlru patches divided page cache and swap-backed pages into separate LRU lists, the pressure balance between the lists was biased to account for the fact that streaming IO can cause memory pressure with a flood of pages that are used only once. New page cache additions would tip the balance toward the file LRU, and repeat access would neutralize that bias again. This ensured that page reclaim would always go for used-once cache first. Since e9868505987a ("mm,vmscan: only evict file pages when we have plenty"), page reclaim generally skips over swap-backed memory entirely as long as there is used-once cache present, and will apply the LRU balancing when only repeatedly accessed cache pages are left - at which point the previous use-once bias will have been neutralized. This makes the use-once cache balancing bias unnecessary.

2020-06-03mm: fix LRU balancing effect of new transparent huge pagesJohannes Weiner
The reclaim code that balances between swapping and cache reclaim tries to predict likely reuse based on in-memory reference patterns alone. This works in many cases, but when it fails it cannot detect when the cache is thrashing pathologically, or when we're in the middle of a swap storm. The high seek cost of rotational drives under which the algorithm evolved also meant that mistakes could quickly result in lockups from too aggressive swapping (which is predominantly random IO). As a result, the balancing code has been tuned over time to a point where it mostly goes for page cache and defers swapping until the VM is under significant memory pressure. The resulting strategy doesn't make optimal caching decisions - where optimal is the least amount of IO required to execute the workload. The proliferation of fast random IO devices such as SSDs, in-memory compression such as zswap, and persistent memory technologies on the horizon, has made this undesirable behavior very noticable: Even in the presence of large amounts of cold anonymous memory and a capable swap device, the VM refuses to even seriously scan these pages, and can leave the page cache thrashing needlessly. This series sets out to address this. Since commit ("a528910e12ec mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have exact tracking of refault IO - the ultimate cost of reclaiming the wrong pages. This allows us to use an IO cost based balancing model that is more aggressive about scanning anonymous memory when the cache is thrashing, while being able to avoid unnecessary swap storms. These patches base the LRU balance on the rate of refaults on each list, times the relative IO cost between swap device and filesystem (swappiness), in order to optimize reclaim for least IO cost incurred. History I floated these changes in 2016. At the time they were incomplete and full of workarounds due to a lack of infrastructure in the reclaim code: We didn't have PageWorkingset, we didn't have hierarchical cgroup statistics, and problems with the cgroup swap controller. As swapping wasn't too high a priority then, the patches stalled out. With all dependencies in place now, here we are again with much cleaner, feature-complete patches. I kept the acks for patches that stayed materially the same :-) Below is a series of test results that demonstrate certain problematic behavior of the current code, as well as showcase the new code's more predictable and appropriate balancing decisions. Test #1: No convergence This test shows an edge case where the VM currently doesn't converge at all on a new file workingset with a stale anon/tmpfs set. The test sets up a cold anon set the size of 3/4 RAM, then tries to establish a new file set half the size of RAM (flat access pattern). The vanilla kernel refuses to even scan anon pages and never converges. The file set is perpetually served from the filesystem. The first test kernel is with the series up to the workingset patch applied. This allows thrashing page cache to challenge the anonymous workingset. The VM then scans the lists based on the current scanned/rotated balancing algorithm. It converges on a stable state where all cold anon pages are pushed out and the fileset is served entirely from cache: noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset Scanned 417719308.00 ( +0.00%) 64091155.00 ( -84.66%) Reclaimed 417711094.00 ( +0.00%) 61640308.00 ( -85.24%) Reclaim efficiency % 100.00 ( +0.00%) 96.18 ( -3.78%) Scanned file 417719308.00 ( +0.00%) 59211118.00 ( -85.83%) Scanned anon 0.00 ( +0.00%) 4880037.00 ( ) Swapouts 0.00 ( +0.00%) 2439957.00 ( ) Swapins 0.00 ( +0.00%) 257.00 ( ) Refaults 415246605.00 ( +0.00%) 59183722.00 ( -85.75%) Restore refaults 0.00 ( +0.00%) 54988252.00 ( ) The second test kernel is with the full patch series applied, which replaces the scanned/rotated ratios with refault/swapin rate-based balancing. It evicts the cold anon pages more aggressively in the presence of a thrashing cache and the absence of swapins, and so converges with about 60% of the IO and reclaim activity: noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance Scanned 64091155.00 ( +0.00%) 37579741.00 ( -41.37%) Reclaimed 61640308.00 ( +0.00%) 35129293.00 ( -43.01%) Reclaim efficiency % 96.18 ( +0.00%) 93.48 ( -2.78%) Scanned file 59211118.00 ( +0.00%) 32708385.00 ( -44.76%) Scanned anon 4880037.00 ( +0.00%) 4871356.00 ( -0.18%) Swapouts 2439957.00 ( +0.00%) 2435565.00 ( -0.18%) Swapins 257.00 ( +0.00%) 262.00 ( +1.94%) Refaults 59183722.00 ( +0.00%) 32675667.00 ( -44.79%) Restore refaults 54988252.00 ( +0.00%) 28480430.00 ( -48.21%) We're triggering this case in host sideloading scenarios: When a host's primary workload is not saturating the machine (primary load is usually driven by user activity), we can optimistically sideload a batch job; if user activity picks up and the primary workload needs the whole host during this time, we freeze the sideload and rely on it getting pushed to swap. Frequently that swapping doesn't happen and the completely inactive sideload simply stays resident while the expanding primary worklad is struggling to gain ground. Test #2: Kernel build This test is a a kernel build that is slightly memory-restricted (make -j4 inside a 400M cgroup). Despite the very aggressive swapping of cold anon pages in test #1, this test shows that the new kernel carefully balances swap against cache refaults when both the file and the cache set are pressured. It shows the patched kernel to be slightly better at finding the coldest memory from the combined anon and file set to evict under pressure. The result is lower aggregate reclaim and paging activity: z 5.7-rc5-mm 5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance Real time 210.60 ( +0.00%) 210.97 ( +0.18%) User time 745.42 ( +0.00%) 746.48 ( +0.14%) System time 69.78 ( +0.00%) 69.79 ( +0.02%) Scanned file 354682.00 ( +0.00%) 293661.00 ( -17.20%) Scanned anon 465381.00 ( +0.00%) 378144.00 ( -18.75%) Swapouts 185920.00 ( +0.00%) 147801.00 ( -20.50%) Swapins 34583.00 ( +0.00%) 32491.00 ( -6.05%) Refaults 212664.00 ( +0.00%) 172409.00 ( -18.93%) Restore refaults 48861.00 ( +0.00%) 80091.00 ( +63.91%) Total paging IO 433167.00 ( +0.00%) 352701.00 ( -18.58%) Test #3: Overload This next test is not about performance, but rather about the predictability of the algorithm. The current balancing behavior doesn't always lead to comprehensible results, which makes performance analysis and parameter tuning (swappiness e.g.) very difficult. The test shows the balancing behavior under equivalent anon and file input. Anon and file sets are created of equal size (3/4 RAM), have the same access patterns (a hot-cold gradient), and synchronized access rates. Swappiness is raised from the default of 60 to 100 to indicate equal IO cost between swap and cache. With the vanilla balancing code, anon scans make up around 9% of the total pages scanned, or a ~1:10 ratio. This is a surprisingly skewed ratio, and it's an outcome that is hard to explain given the input parameters to the VM. The new balancing model targets a 1:2 balance: All else being equal, reclaiming a file page costs one page IO - the refault; reclaiming an anon page costs two IOs - the swapout and the swapin. In the test we observe a ~1:3 balance. The scanned and paging IO numbers indicate that the anon LRU algorithm we have in place right now does a slightly worse job at picking the coldest pages compared to the file algorithm. There is ongoing work to improve this, like Joonsoo's anon workingset patches; however, it's difficult to compare the two aging strategies when the balancing between them is behaving unintuitively. The slightly less efficient anon reclaim results in a deviation from the optimal 1:2 scan ratio we would like to see here - however, 1:3 is much closer to what we'd want to see in this test than the vanilla kernel's aging of 10+ cache pages for every anonymous one: overload-100/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset overload-100/5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance-realfile Scanned 533633725.00 ( +0.00%) 595687785.00 ( +11.63%) Reclaimed 494325440.00 ( +0.00%) 518154380.00 ( +4.82%) Reclaim efficiency % 92.63 ( +0.00%) 86.98 ( -6.03%) Scanned file 484532894.00 ( +0.00%) 456937722.00 ( -5.70%) Scanned anon 49100831.00 ( +0.00%) 138750063.00 ( +182.58%) Swapouts 8096423.00 ( +0.00%) 48982142.00 ( +504.98%) Swapins 10027384.00 ( +0.00%) 62325044.00 ( +521.55%) Refaults 479819973.00 ( +0.00%) 451309483.00 ( -5.94%) Restore refaults 426422087.00 ( +0.00%) 399914067.00 ( -6.22%) Total paging IO 497943780.00 ( +0.00%) 562616669.00 ( +12.99%) Test #4: Parallel IO It's important to note that these patches only affect the situation where the kernel has to reclaim workingset memory, which is usually a transitionary period. The vast majority of page reclaim occuring in a system is from trimming the ever-expanding page cache. These patches don't affect cache trimming behavior. We never swap as long as we only have use-once cache moving through the file LRU, we only consider swapping when the cache is actively thrashing. The following test demonstrates this. It has an anon workingset that takes up half of RAM and then writes a file that is twice the size of RAM out to disk. As the cache is funneled through the inactive file list, no anon pages are scanned (aside from apparently some background noise of 10 pages): 5.7-rc5-mm 5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance Scanned 10714722.00 ( +0.00%) 10723445.00 ( +0.08%) Reclaimed 10703596.00 ( +0.00%) 10712166.00 ( +0.08%) Reclaim efficiency % 99.90 ( +0.00%) 99.89 ( -0.00%) Scanned file 10714722.00 ( +0.00%) 10723435.00 ( +0.08%) Scanned anon 0.00 ( +0.00%) 10.00 ( ) Swapouts 0.00 ( +0.00%) 7.00 ( ) Swapins 0.00 ( +0.00%) 0.00 ( +0.00%) Refaults 92.00 ( +0.00%) 41.00 ( -54.84%) Restore refaults 0.00 ( +0.00%) 0.00 ( +0.00%) Total paging IO 92.00 ( +0.00%) 48.00 ( -47.31%) This patch (of 14): Currently, THP are counted as single pages until they are split right before being swapped out.

2020-05-28mm/swap: Use local_lock for protectionIngo Molnar
The various struct pagevec per CPU variables are protected by disabling either preemption or interrupts across the critical sections. Inside these sections spinlocks have to be acquired. These spinlocks are regular spinlock_t types which are converted to "sleeping" spinlocks on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Obviously sleeping locks cannot be acquired in preemption or interrupt disabled sections. local locks provide a trivial way to substitute preempt and interrupt disable instances. On a non PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel local_lock() maps to preempt_disable() and local_lock_irq() to local_irq_disable(). Create lru_rotate_pvecs containing the pagevec and the locallock. Create lru_pvecs containing the remaining pagevecs and the locallock. Add lru_add_drain_cpu_zone() which is used from compact_zone() to avoid exporting the pvec structure. Change the relevant call sites to acquire these locks instead of using preempt_disable() / get_cpu() / get_cpu_var() and local_irq_disable() / local_irq_save(). There is neither a functional change nor a change in the generated binary code for non PREEMPT_RT enabled non-debug kernels. When lockdep is enabled local locks have lockdep maps embedded. These allow lockdep to validate the protections, i.e. inappropriate usage of a preemption only protected sections would result in a lockdep warning while the same problem would not be noticed with a plain preempt_disable() based protection. local locks also improve readability as they provide a named scope for the protections while preempt/interrupt disable are opaque scopeless. Finally local locks allow PREEMPT_RT to substitute them with real locking primitives to ensure the correctness of operation in a fully preemptible kernel.

2020-04-07mm: huge tmpfs: try to split_huge_page() when punching holeHugh Dickins
Yang Shi writes: Currently, when truncating a shmem file, if the range is partly in a THP (start or end is in the middle of THP), the pages actually will just get cleared rather than being freed, unless the range covers the whole THP. Even though all the subpages are truncated (randomly or sequentially), the THP may still be kept in page cache. This might be fine for some usecases which prefer preserving THP, but balloon inflation is handled in base page size. So when using shmem THP as memory backend, QEMU inflation actually doesn't work as expected since it doesn't free memory. But the inflation usecase really needs to get the memory freed. (Anonymous THP will also not get freed right away, but will be freed eventually when all subpages are unmapped: whereas shmem THP still stays in page cache.) Split THP right away when doing partial hole punch, and if split fails just clear the page so that read of the punched area will return zeroes. Hugh Dickins adds: Our earlier "team of pages" huge tmpfs implementation worked in the way that Yang Shi proposes; and we have been using this patch to continue to split the huge page when hole-punched or truncated, since converting over to the compound page implementation. Although huge tmpfs gives out huge pages when available, if the user specifically asks to truncate or punch a hole (perhaps to free memory, perhaps to reduce the memcg charge), then the filesystem should do so as best it can, splitting the huge page. That is not always possible: any additional reference to the huge page prevents split_huge_page() from succeeding, so the result can be flaky. But in practice it works successfully enough that we've not seen any problem from that. Add shmem_punch_compound() to encapsulate the decision of when a split is needed, and doing the split if so. Using this simplifies the flow in shmem_undo_range(); and the first (trylock) pass does not need to do any page clearing on failure, because the second pass will either succeed or do that clearing. Following the example of zero_user_segment() when clearing a partial page, add flush_dcache_page() and set_page_dirty() when clearing a hole - though I'm not certain that either is needed. But: split_huge_page() would be sure to fail if shmem_undo_range()'s pagevec holds further references to the huge page. The easiest way to fix that is for find_get_entries() to return early, as soon as it has put one compound head or tail into the pagevec. At first this felt like a hack; but on examination, this convention better suits all its callers - or will do, if the slight one-page-per-pagevec slowdown in shmem_unlock_mapping() and shmem_seek_hole_data() is transformed into a 512-page-per-pagevec speedup by checking for compound pages there.

This makes page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again.

2020-04-02mm: swap: use smp_mb__after_atomic() to order LRU bit setYang Shi
Memory barrier is needed after setting LRU bit, but smp_mb() is too strong. Some architectures, i.e. x86, imply memory barrier with atomic operations, so replacing it with smp_mb__after_atomic() sounds better, which is nop on strong ordered machines, and full memory barriers on others. With this change the vm-scalability cases would perform better on x86, I saw total 6% improvement with this patch and previous inline fix.
