mm/mmu_gather: add __tlb_remove_folio_pages() Add __tlb_remove_folio_pages(), which will remove multiple consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio, instead of only a single page. We'll be using this function when optimizing unmapping/zapping of large folios that are mapped by PTEs. We're using the remaining spare bit in an encoded_page to indicate that the next enoced page in an array contains actually shifted "nr_pages". Teach swap/freeing code about putting multiple folio references, and delayed rmap handling to remove page ranges of a folio. This extension allows for still gathering almost as many small folios as we used to (-1, because we have to prepare for a possibly bigger next entry), but still allows for gathering consecutive pages that belong to the same large folio. Note that we don't pass the folio pointer, because it is not required for now. Further, we don't support page_size != PAGE_SIZE, it won't be required for simple PTE batching. We have to provide a separate s390 implementation, but it's fairly straight forward. Another, more invasive and likely more expensive, approach would be to use folio+range or a PFN range instead of page+nr_pages. But, we should do that consistently for the whole mmu_gather. For now, let's keep it simple and add "nr_pages" only. Note that it is now possible to gather significantly more pages: In the past, we were able to gather ~10000 pages, now we can also gather ~5000 folio fragments that span multiple pages. A folio fragment on x86-64 can span up to 512 pages (2 MiB THP) and on arm64 with 64k in theory 8192 pages (512 MiB THP). Gathering more memory is not considered something we should worry about, especially because these are already corner cases. While we can gather more total memory, we won't free more folio fragments. As long as page freeing time primarily only depends on the number of involved folios, there is no effective change for !preempt configurations. However, we'll adjust tlb_batch_pages_flush() separately to handle corner cases where page freeing time grows proportionally with the actual memory size.

mm/swap_state: update zswap LRU's protection range with the folio locked When a folio is swapped in, the protection size of the corresponding zswap LRU is incremented, so that the zswap shrinker is more conservative with its reclaiming action. This field is embedded within the struct lruvec, so updating it requires looking up the folio's memcg and lruvec. However, currently this lookup can happen after the folio is unlocked, for instance if a new folio is allocated, and swap_read_folio() unlocks the folio before returning. In this scenario, there is no stability guarantee for the binding between a folio and its memcg and lruvec: * A folio's memcg and lruvec can be freed between the lookup and the update, leading to a UAF. * Folio migration can clear the now-unlocked folio's memcg_data, which directs the zswap LRU protection size update towards the root memcg instead of the original memcg. This was recently picked up by the syzbot thanks to a warning in the inlined folio_lruvec() call. Move the zswap LRU protection range update above the swap_read_folio() call, and only when a new page is allocated, to prevent this.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages). This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis. Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into memory), we build in the following heuristics: * Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to protect this region of the zswap LRU. * Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively small memory saving). * During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer region of the zswap LRU. As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

zswap: make shrinking memcg-aware Currently, we only have a single global LRU for zswap. This makes it impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u This patch fully resolves the issue by replacing the global zswap LRU with memcg- and NUMA-specific LRUs, and modify the reclaim logic: a) When a store attempt hits an memcg limit, it now triggers a synchronous reclaim attempt that, if successful, allows the new hotter page to be accepted by zswap. b) If the store attempt instead hits the global zswap limit, it will trigger an asynchronous reclaim attempt, in which an memcg is selected for reclaim in a round-robin-like fashion.

mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio allocation. alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(), rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage). vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around alloc_pages_mpol(). alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node(). Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers". It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit 09c231cb8bfd ("tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes"), which added ino bias to the interleave, hidden from mm/mempolicy.c until this commit. Hence "ilx" throughout, the "interleave index". Originally I thought it could be done just with nid, but that's wrong: the nodemask may come from the shared policy layer below a shmem vma, or it may come from the task layer above a shmem vma; and without the final nodemask then nodeid cannot be decided. And how ilx is applied depends also on page order. The interleave index is almost always irrelevant unless MPOL_INTERLEAVE: with one exception in alloc_pages_mpol(), where the NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX passed down from vma-less alloc_pages() is also used as hint not to use THP-style hugepage allocation - to avoid the overhead of a hugepage arg (though I don't understand why we never just added a GFP bit for THP - if it actually needs a different allocation strategy from other pages of the same order). vma_alloc_folio() still carries its hugepage arg here, but it is not used, and should be removed when agreed. get_vma_policy() no longer allows a NULL vma: over time I believe we've eradicated all the places which used to need it e.g. swapoff and madvise used to pass NULL vma to read_swap_cache_async(), but now know the vma.

swap: remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_async Patch series "Per-VMA lock support for swap and userfaults", v7. When per-VMA locks were introduced in [1] several types of page faults would still fall back to mmap_lock to keep the patchset simple. Among them are swap and userfault pages. The main reason for skipping those cases was the fact that mmap_lock could be dropped while handling these faults and that required additional logic to be implemented. Implement the mechanism to allow per-VMA locks to be dropped for these cases. First, change handle_mm_fault to drop per-VMA locks when returning VM_FAULT_RETRY or VM_FAULT_COMPLETED to be consistent with the way mmap_lock is handled. Then change folio_lock_or_retry to accept vm_fault and return vm_fault_t which simplifies later patches. Finally allow swap and uffd page faults to be handled under per-VMA locks by dropping per-VMA and retrying, the same way it's done under mmap_lock. Naturally, once VMA lock is dropped that VMA should be assumed unstable and can't be used. This patch (of 6): Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read latency for block devices that can be polled. However later commit [2] removed polling support. Therefore it seems safe to remove do_poll parameter in read_swap_cache_async and always call swap_readpage with synchronous=false waiting for IO completion in folio_lock_or_retry.

mm: ptep_get() conversion Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics. But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source. Conversion was done using Coccinelle: ---- // $ make coccicheck \ // COCCI=ptepget.cocci \ // SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \ // MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ pte_t *v; @@ - *v + ptep_get(v) ---- Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex. Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep. So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are defined.

mm/swap: swap_vma_readahead() do the pte_offset_map() swap_vma_readahead() has been proceeding in an unconventional way, its preliminary swap_ra_info() doing the pte_offset_map() and pte_unmap(), then relying on that pte pointer even after the pte_unmap() - in its CONFIG_64BIT case (I think !CONFIG_HIGHPTE was intended; whereas 32-bit copied ptes to stack while they were mapped, but had to limit how many). Though it would be difficult to construct a failing testcase, accessing page table after pte_unmap() will become bad practice, even on 64-bit: an rcu_read_unlock() in pte_unmap() will allow page table to be freed. Move relevant definitions from include/linux/swap.h to mm/swap_state.c, nothing else used them. Delete the CONFIG_64BIT distinction and buffer, delete all reference to ptes from swap_ra_info(), use pte_offset_map() repeatedly in swap_vma_readahead(), breaking from the loop if it fails. (Will the repeated "map" and "unmap" show up as a slowdown anywhere? If so, maybe modify __read_swap_cache_async() to do the pte_unmap() only when it does not find the page already in the swapcache.) Use ptep_get_lockless(), mainly for its READ_ONCE(). Correctly advance the address passed down to each call of __read__swap_cache_async().

But when workingset supports anonymous page detection, we missied updating shadow nodes for it. This caused that shadow nodes of anonymous page will never be reclaimd by scan_shadow_nodes() even they use much memory and system memory is tense.

swap: avoid holding swap reference in swap_cache_get_folio All its callers either already hold a reference to, or lock the swap device while calling this function. There is only one exception in shmem_swapin_folio, just make this caller also hold a reference of the swap device, so this helper can be simplified and saves a few cycles. This also provides finer control of error handling in shmem_swapin_folio, on race (with swap off), it can just try again. For invalid swap entry, it can fail with a proper error code.

mm: submit multipage reads for SWP_FS_OPS swap-space swap_readpage() is given one page at a time, but may be called repeatedly in succession. For block-device swap-space, the blk_plug functionality allows the multiple pages to be combined together at lower layers. That cannot be used for SWP_FS_OPS as blk_plug may not exist - it is only active when CONFIG_BLOCK=y. Consequently all swap reads over NFS are single page reads. With this patch we pass in a pointer-to-pointer when swap_readpage can store state between calls - much like the effect of blk_plug. After calling swap_readpage() some number of times, the state will be passed to swap_read_unplug() which can submit the combined request.

mm: drop swap_dirty_folio folios that are written to swap are owned by the MM subsystem - not any filesystem. When such a folio is passed to a filesystem to be written out to a swap-file, the filesystem handles the data, but the folio itself does not belong to the filesystem. So calling the filesystem's ->dirty_folio() address_space operation makes no sense. This is for folios in the given address space, and a folio to be written to swap does not exist in the given address space. So drop swap_dirty_folio() which calls the address-space's ->dirty_folio(), and always use noop_dirty_folio(), which is appropriate for folios being swapped out.

mm: create new mm/swap.h header file Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support". Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem. This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced swap_set_page_dirty. Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and ->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements. There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.

mm: swap: get rid of livelock in swapin readahead In our testing, a livelock task was found. Through sysrq printing, same stack was found every time, as follows: __swap_duplicate+0x58/0x1a0 swapcache_prepare+0x24/0x30 __read_swap_cache_async+0xac/0x220 read_swap_cache_async+0x58/0xa0 swapin_readahead+0x24c/0x628 do_swap_page+0x374/0x8a0 __handle_mm_fault+0x598/0xd60 handle_mm_fault+0x114/0x200 do_page_fault+0x148/0x4d0 do_translation_fault+0xb0/0xd4 do_mem_abort+0x50/0xb0 The reason for the livelock is that swapcache_prepare() always returns EEXIST, indicating that SWAP_HAS_CACHE has not been cleared, so that it cannot jump out of the loop. We suspect that the task that clears the SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag never gets a chance to run. We try to lower the priority of the task stuck in a livelock so that the task that clears the SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag will run. The results show that the system returns to normal after the priority is lowered. In our testing, multiple real-time tasks are bound to the same core, and the task in the livelock is the highest priority task of the core, so the livelocked task cannot be preempted. Although cond_resched() is used by __read_swap_cache_async, it is an empty function in the preemptive system and cannot achieve the purpose of releasing the CPU. A high-priority task cannot release the CPU unless preempted by a higher-priority task. But when this task is already the highest priority task on this core, other tasks will not be able to be scheduled. So we think we should replace cond_resched() with schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1), schedule_timeout_interruptible will call set_current_state first to set the task state, so the task will be removed from the running queue, so as to achieve the purpose of giving up the CPU and prevent it from running in kernel mode for too long. (akpm: ugly hack becomes uglier. But it fixes the issue in a backportable-to-stable fashion while we hopefully work on something better) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220221111749.1928222-1-cgel.zte@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Guo Ziliang <guo.ziliang@zte.com.cn> Reported-by: Zeal Robot <zealci@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Ran Xiaokai <ran.xiaokai@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Jiang Xuexin <jiang.xuexin@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@zte.com.cn> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@nec.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Roger Quadros <rogerq@kernel.org> Cc: Ziliang Guo <guo.ziliang@zte.com.cn> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: free idle swap cache page after COW With commit 09854ba94c6a ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification"), after COW, the idle swap cache page (neither the page nor the corresponding swap entry is mapped by any process) will be left in the LRU list, even if it's in the active list or the head of the inactive list. So, the page reclaimer may take quite some overhead to reclaim these actually unused pages. To help the page reclaiming, in this patch, after COW, the idle swap cache page will be tried to be freed. To avoid to introduce much overhead to the hot COW code path, a) there's almost zero overhead for non-swap case via checking PageSwapCache() firstly. b) the page lock is acquired via trylock only. To test the patch, we used pmbench memory accessing benchmark with working-set larger than available memory on a 2-socket Intel server with a NVMe SSD as swap device. Test results shows that the pmbench score increases up to 23.8% with the decreased size of swap cache and swapin throughput.

mm/swap: remove confusing checking for non_swap_entry() in swap_ra_info() The non_swap_entry() was used for working with VMA based swap readahead via commit ec560175c0b6 ("mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead"). At that time, the non_swap_entry() checking is necessary because the function is called before checking that in do_swap_page(). Then it's moved to swap_ra_info() since commit eaf649ebc3ac ("mm: swap: clean up swap readahead"). After that, the non_swap_entry() checking is unnecessary, because swap_ra_info() is called after non_swap_entry() has been checked already. The resulting code is confusing as the non_swap_entry() check looks racy now because while we released the pte lock, somebody else might have faulted in this pte. So we should check whether it's swap pte first to guard against such race or swap_type will be unexpected. But the race isn't important because it will not cause problem. We would have enough checking when we really operate the PTE entries later. So we remove the non_swap_entry() check here to avoid confusion.

memcg: charge before adding to swapcache on swapin Currently the kernel adds the page, allocated for swapin, to the swapcache before charging the page. This is fine but now we want a per-memcg swapcache stat which is essential for folks who wants to transparently migrate from cgroup v1's memsw to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters. In addition charging a page before exposing it to other parts of the kernel is a step in the right direction. To correctly maintain the per-memcg swapcache stat, this patch has adopted to charge the page before adding it to swapcache. One challenge in this option is the failure case of add_to_swap_cache() on which we need to undo the mem_cgroup_charge(). Specifically undoing mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() is not simple. To resolve the issue, this patch decouples the charging for swapin pages from mem_cgroup_charge(). Two new functions are introduced, mem_cgroup_swapin_charge_page() for just charging the swapin page and mem_cgroup_swapin_uncharge_swap() for uncharging the swap slot once the page has been successfully added to the swapcache.

mm: memcg: add swapcache stat for memcg v2 This patch adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2. The swapcache represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the swap limit of the cgroup. The main motivation behind exposing the swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters. Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap. Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the workload. With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the sum of the v2's memory and swap limits. However the alternative for memsw usage is not yet available in cgroup v2. Exposing per-cgroup swapcache stat enables that alternative. Adding the memory usage and swap usage and subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage. This will help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters. The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two separate memory and swap usage metrics. A single usage metric is more simple to use and reason about for them. (2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from the applications. Applications with multiple instances running in a datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

mm/swap: don't SetPageWorkingset unconditionally during swapin We are capable of SetPageWorkingset based on refault distances after commit aae466b0052e ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for anonymous LRU"). This is done by workingset_refault(), which is right above the unconditional SetPageWorkingset deleted by this patch. The unconditional SetPageWorkingset miscategorizes pages that are read ahead or never belonged to the working set (e.g., tmpfs pages accessed only once by fd). When those pages are swapped in (after they were swapped out) for the first time, they skew PSI (when using async swap). When this happens again, depending on their refault distances, they might skew workingset_restore_anon counter in addition to PSI because their shadows indicate they were part of the working set. Historically, SetPageWorkingset was added as part of the PSI series, and Johannes said: "It was meant to mark incoming pages under IO with SetPageWorkingset when waiting for them constituted a memory stall. On the page cache side, because we HAVE workingset detection, this was specific to recently evicted pages that had been active in their previous life. On the anon side, the aging algorithm had no distinction between workingset and sporadically used pages. Given the choice between a) no swapin stalls are pressure and b) all swapin stalls are pressure, I went with the latter in order to detect swap storms. The false positive case - high rate of swapin without severe memory pressure - was relatively unlikely, because we tried to avoid swapping until everything was completely on fire in the first place."

swap: rename SWP_FS to SWAP_FS_OPS to avoid ambiguity SWP_FS is used to make swap_{read,write}page() go through the filesystem, and it's only used for swap files over NFS for now. Otherwise it will directly submit IO to blockdev according to swapfile extents reported by filesystems in advance. As Matthew pointed out [1], SWP_FS naming is somewhat confusing, so let's rename to SWP_FS_OPS.

This patch series started out as part of the THP patch set, but it has some nice effects along the way and it seems worth splitting it out and submitting separately. Currently find_get_entry() and find_lock_entry() return the page corresponding to the requested index, but the first thing most callers do is find the head page, which we just threw away. As part of auditing all the callers, I found some misuses of the APIs and some plain inefficiencies that I've fixed. The diffstat is unflattering, but I added more kernel-doc and a new wrapper.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h> in the files that include <linux/mm.h>. The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop: for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f done Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Cain <bcain@codeaurora.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net> Cc: "David S.

mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost 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.

mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing 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.

mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation Right now, users that are otherwise memory controlled can easily escape their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory that they're not being charged for. That's because swap readahead pages are not being charged until somebody actually faults them into their page table. This can be exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead allocations without charging the pages. There are additional problems with the delayed charging of swap pages: 1. To implement refault/workingset detection for anonymous pages, we need to have a target LRU available at swapin time, but the LRU is not determinable until the page has been charged. 2. To implement per-cgroup LRU locking, we need page->mem_cgroup to be stable when the page is isolated from the LRU; otherwise, the locks change under us. But swapcache gets charged after it's already on the LRU, and even if we cannot isolate it ourselves (since charging is not exactly optional). The previous patch ensured we always maintain cgroup ownership records for swap pages. This patch moves the swapcache charging point from the fault handler to swapin time to fix all of the above problems. v2: simplify swapin error checking (Joonsoo) [hughd@google.com: fix livelock in __read_swap_cache_async()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.2005212246080.8458@eggly.anvils Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm: swap: check if swap backing device is congested or not Swap readahead would read in a few pages regardless if the underlying device is busy or not. It may incur long waiting time if the device is congested, and it may also exacerbate the congestion. Use inode_read_congested() to check if the underlying device is busy or not like what file page readahead does. Get inode from swap_info_struct. Although we can add inode information in swap_address_space (address_space->host), it may lead some unexpected side effect, i.e. it may break mapping_cap_account_dirty(). Using inode from swap_info_struct seems simple and good enough. Just does the check in vma_cluster_readahead() since swap_vma_readahead() is just used for non-rotational device which much less likely has congestion than traditional HDD. Although swap slots may be consecutive on swap partition, it still may be fragmented on swap file. This check would help to reduce excessive stall for such case. The test with page_fault1 of will-it-scale (sometimes tracing may just show runtest.py that is the wrapper script of page_fault1), which basically launches NR_CPU threads to generate 128MB anonymous pages for each thread, on my virtual machine with congested HDD shows long tail latency is reduced significantly.

mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset. During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however, and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing. Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing. How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit? 20 bits are always page flags 21 if you have an MMU 23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable 29 with the sparsemem section bits 30 if PAE is enabled 31 with this patch. So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6 or 7 sparsemem section bits.

treewide: kvzalloc() -> kvcalloc() The kvzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kvcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kvzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kvcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kvzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kvzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kvcalloc(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kvzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kvzalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kvzalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

mm, memcontrol: move swap charge handling into get_swap_page() Patch series "mm, memcontrol: Implement memory.swap.events", v2. This patchset implements memory.swap.events which contains max and fail events so that userland can monitor and respond to swap running out. This patch (of 2): get_swap_page() is always followed by mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap(). This patch moves mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap() into get_swap_page() and makes get_swap_page() call the function even after swap allocation failure. This simplifies the callers and consolidates memcg related logic and will ease adding swap related memcg events.

mm: swap: clean up swap readahead When I see recent change of swap readahead, I am very unhappy about current code structure which diverges two swap readahead algorithm in do_swap_page. This patch is to clean it up. Main motivation is that fault handler doesn't need to be aware of readahead algorithms but just should call swapin_readahead. As first step, this patch cleans up a little bit but not perfect (I just separate for review easier) so next patch will make the goal complete.

mm: remove cold parameter for release_pages All callers of release_pages claim the pages being released are cache hot. As no one cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

mm, swap: fix false error message in __swp_swapcount() When a page fault occurs for a swap entry, the physical swap readahead (not the VMA base swap readahead) may readahead several swap entries after the fault swap entry. The readahead algorithm calculates some of the swap entries to readahead via increasing the offset of the fault swap entry without checking whether they are beyond the end of the swap device and it relys on the __swp_swapcount() and swapcache_prepare() to check it. Although __swp_swapcount() checks for the swap entry passed in, it will complain with the error message as follow for the expected invalid swap entry. This may make the end users confused. swap_info_get: Bad swap offset entry 0200f8a7 To fix the false error message, the swap entry checking is added in swapin_readahead() to avoid to pass the out-of-bound swap entries and the swap entry reserved for the swap header to __swp_swapcount() and swapcache_prepare().

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mm, swap: use page-cluster as max window of VMA based swap readahead When the VMA based swap readahead was introduced, a new knob /sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order was added as the max window of VMA swap readahead. This is to make it possible to use different max window for VMA based readahead and original physical readahead. But Minchan Kim pointed out that this will cause a regression because setting page-cluster sysctl to zero cannot disable swap readahead with the change. To fix the regression, the page-cluster sysctl is used as the max window of both the VMA based swap readahead and original physical swap readahead. If more fine grained control is needed in the future, more knobs can be added as the subordinate knobs of the page-cluster sysctl. The vma_ra_max_order knob is deleted. Because the knob was introduced in v4.14-rc1, and this patch is targeting being merged before v4.14 releasing, there should be no existing users of this newly added ABI.

mm: fix data corruption caused by lazyfree page MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap cache between these two steps by page reclaim. If page reclaim finds such page, it will simply add the page to swap cache without pageout the page to swap because the page is marked as clean. Next time, page fault will read data from the swap slot which doesn't have the original data, so we have a data corruption. To fix issue, we mark the page dirty and pageout the page. However, we shouldn't dirty all pages which is clean and in swap cache. swapin page is swap cache and clean too. So we only dirty page which is added into swap cache in page reclaim, which shouldn't be swapin page. As Minchan suggested, simply dirty the page in add_to_swap can do the job.

mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered valid. In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation. But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual memory. And the different tasks in the system may have different access patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect. In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots. At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the space locality. The test and result is as follow, Common test condition ===================== Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device: NVMe disk Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern ============================================ vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300 seconds. The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out. At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in in the background. This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow, Base Optimized ---- --------- throughput 345413 KB/s 414029 KB/s (+19.9%) latency.average 97.14 us 61.06 us (-37.1%) latency.50th 2 us 1 us latency.60th 2 us 1 us latency.70th 98 us 2 us latency.80th 160 us 2 us latency.90th 260 us 217 us latency.95th 346 us 369 us latency.99th 1.34 ms 1.09 ms ra_hit% 52.69% 99.98% The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower. The VMA-base readahead algorithm works much better. Linpack ======= The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping. Base Optimized ---- --------- elapsed_time 393.49 s 329.88 s (-16.2%) ra_hit% 86.21% 98.82% The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes. But the elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages. And the absolute value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is still valid in some practical workloads.

mm, swap: fix swap readahead marking In the original implementation, it is possible that the existing pages in the swap cache (not newly readahead) could be marked as the readahead pages. This will cause the statistics of swap readahead be wrong and influence the swap readahead algorithm too. This is fixed via marking a page as the readahead page only if it is newly allocated and read from the disk. When testing with linpack, after the fixing the swap readahead hit rate increased from ~66% to ~86%.

So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the space locality. In addition to the swap readahead changes, some new sysfs interface is added to show the efficiency of the readahead algorithm and some other swap statistics. This new implementation will incur more small random read, on SSD, the improved correctness of estimation and readahead target should beat the potential increased overhead, this is also illustrated in the test results below. But on HDD, the overhead may beat the benefit, so the original implementation will be used by default. The test and result is as follow, Common test condition ===================== Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device: NVMe disk Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern ============================================ vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300 seconds.

swap: add block io poll in swapin path For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of context switch. block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves performance and latency a lot. swapin is a good place to use this technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue execution. In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is about 60% better than that without poll. With iopoll support in swapin patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about 10%~25% faster. CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x CPU utilization. This will depend on disk speed. While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk. block layer has knob to control poll in runtime. If poll isn't enabled in block layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin. I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media. In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread test and ~20% in 8 threads test. So this is the base line. In above swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test. blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though. If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll. Also we can adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is reduced further. In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though. The performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is similar too. There is lock contention in swap path. The cpu time spending on blkpoll isn't high. So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse than that without it. The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and form a big IO request. Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page swapin.

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

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

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures, such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail. But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc() firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed. In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation. From Dave Hansen: "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less fragmentation. The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to allocate the contiguous pages successfully. The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed, because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for it. That makes it a little harder to change.

mm, swap: fix comment in __read_swap_cache_async Commit cbab0e4eec29 ("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 815c2c543d3a ("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 cbab0e4eec29 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.

mm/swap: skip readahead only when swap slot cache is enabled Because during swap off, a swap entry may have swap_map[] == SWAP_HAS_CACHE (for example, just allocated). If we return NULL in __read_swap_cache_async(), the swap off will abort. So when swap slot cache is disabled, (for swap off), we will wait for page to be put into swap cache in such race condition. This should not be a problem for swap slot cache, because swap slot cache should be drained after clearing swap_slot_cache_enabled.

mm/swap: add cache for swap slots allocation We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock. Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap slots returned. This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with other slots in a cluster. We do not reuse the slots that are returned right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots. The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when searching for empty slots in cache. The swap free cache is protected by a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path. We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots fall below a low watermark threshold. We re-enable the cache agian when the slots available are above a high watermark.

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address space will be used for each swap device. And in the common configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently. But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention reduction. The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on x86_64 architecture. One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when the type of the swap device is not 0. Originally, the whole swap entry value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one radix tree for each swap device. If the type of the swap device is not 0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture. For example, for a 1GB swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 11. But if the offset of the swap entry is used as the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache is 4. The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree descending and increased cache footprint. This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value as the key of the swap cache. In 32 processes sequential swap out test case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%, when the type of the swap device is 1.

thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic counter The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter value. CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be reduced accordingly. To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced: MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch the global counter in two cases: 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page; 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero. Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it was ever used. And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired, I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero. Case used for test on Haswell EP: usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

mm: don't use radix tree writeback tags for pages in swap cache File pages use a set of radix tree tags (DIRTY, TOWRITE, WRITEBACK, etc.) to accelerate finding the pages with a specific tag in the radix tree during inode writeback. But for anonymous pages in the swap cache, there is no inode writeback. So there is no need to find the pages with some writeback tags in the radix tree. It is not necessary to touch radix tree writeback tags for pages in the swap cache. Per Rik van Riel's suggestion, a new flag AS_NO_WRITEBACK_TAGS is introduced for address spaces which don't need to update the writeback tags. The flag is set for swap caches. It may be used for DAX file systems, etc. With this patch, the swap out bandwidth improved 22.3% (from ~1.2GB/s to ~1.48GBps) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. The improvement comes from the reduced contention on the swap cache radix tree lock. To test sequential swapping out, the test case uses 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until RAM and part of the swap device is used up.

mm: move most file-based accounting to the node There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

mm: thp: broken page count after commit aa88b68c3b1d Christian Borntraeger reported a kernel panic after corrupt page counts, and it turned out to be a regression introduced with commit aa88b68c3b1d ("thp: keep huge zero page pinned until tlb flush"), at least on s390. put_huge_zero_page() was moved over from zap_huge_pmd() to release_pages(), and it was replaced by tlb_remove_page(). However, release_pages() might not always be triggered by (the arch-specific) tlb_remove_page(). On s390 we call free_page_and_swap_cache() from tlb_remove_page(), and not tlb_flush_mmu() -> free_pages_and_swap_cache() like the generic version, because we don't use the MMU-gather logic. Although both functions have very similar names, they are doing very unsimilar things, in particular free_page_xxx is just doing a put_page(), while free_pages_xxx calls release_pages(). This of course results in very harmful put_page()s on the huge zero page, on architectures where tlb_remove_page() is implemented in this way. It seems to affect only s390 and sh, but sh doesn't have THP support, so the problem (currently) probably only exists on s390. The following quick hack fixed the issue: Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160602172141.75c006a9@thinkpad Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Reported-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Tested-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBacked v3.16 commit 07a427884348 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero- ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks). That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles: but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same justification. Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path: it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set. Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants. There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: memcontrol: charge swap to cgroup2 This patchset introduces swap accounting to cgroup2. This patch (of 7): In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because: - memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the user preference. - memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which looks unexpected. That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for cgroup2. This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number of swap entries used by a cgroup. It is only charged in the unified hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact. The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and limited using memory.swap.max. Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not just ->count, i.e. when all references to a swap entry, including the one taken by swap cache, are gone. This is necessary, because otherwise swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap cache and hence still occupies a swap entry. At the same time, this shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE) Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE). The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens. Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation + zeroing). Jason Evans said: : Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED : (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for : several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this : out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it : in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it : increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the : benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still : enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement. : : Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used : applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE. The ones that immediately : come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB. I don't have much insight : into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see : MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications : linked with the integrated jemalloc. : : jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel. : In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's : available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux : (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of : MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly : sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this : remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux. : Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially. How it works: When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding. One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM shouldn't discard the page. However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page wrongly. For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by MADV_FREE. However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future. Look at below example for detail. ptr = malloc(); memset(ptr); .. .. .. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out .. .. var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty .. .. madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page. .. .. .. .. heavy memory pressure again. .. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page .. has *PG_dirty* To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could clear it only if we own it exclusively. Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD) barrios@blaptop:~/benchmark/ebizzy$ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 12 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-11 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 1 Socket(s): 12 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 2 Stepping: 3 CPU MHz: 3200.185 BogoMIPS: 6400.53 Virtualization: VT-x Hypervisor vendor: KVM Virtualization type: full L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 4096K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-11 ebizzy benchmark(./ebizzy -S 10 -n 512) Higher avg is better. vanilla-jemalloc MADV_free-jemalloc 1 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 2961.90 avg: 12069.70 std: 71.96(2.43%) std: 186.68(1.55%) max: 3070.00 max: 12385.00 min: 2796.00 min: 11746.00 2 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 5020.00 avg: 17827.00 std: 264.87(5.28%) std: 358.52(2.01%) max: 5244.00 max: 18760.00 min: 4251.00 min: 17382.00 4 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 8988.80 avg: 27930.80 std: 1175.33(13.08%) std: 3317.33(11.88%) max: 9508.00 max: 30879.00 min: 5477.00 min: 21024.00 8 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 13036.50 avg: 33739.40 std: 170.67(1.31%) std: 5146.22(15.25%) max: 13371.00 max: 40572.00 min: 12785.00 min: 24088.00 16 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11092.40 avg: 31424.20 std: 710.60(6.41%) std: 3763.89(11.98%) max: 12446.00 max: 36635.00 min: 9949.00 min: 25669.00 32 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11067.00 avg: 34495.80 std: 971.06(8.77%) std: 2721.36(7.89%) max: 12010.00 max: 38598.00 min: 9002.00 min: 30636.00 In summary, MADV_FREE is about much faster than MADV_DONTNEED.

page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page. It doesn't make much sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed. This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions -- __set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON(). SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is correct. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/cifs/file.c] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: memcontrol: do not kill uncharge batching in free_pages_and_swap_cache free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks. This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills memcg uncharge batching which reduces res_counter spin_lock contention. Dave has noticed this with his page fault scalability test case on a large machine when the lock was basically dominating on all CPUs: 80.18% 80.18% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock | --- _raw_spin_lock | |--66.59%-- res_counter_uncharge_until | res_counter_uncharge | uncharge_batch | uncharge_list | mem_cgroup_uncharge_list | release_pages | free_pages_and_swap_cache | tlb_flush_mmu_free | | | |--90.12%-- unmap_single_vma | | unmap_vmas | | unmap_region | | do_munmap | | vm_munmap | | sys_munmap | | system_call_fastpath | | __GI___munmap | | | --9.88%-- tlb_flush_mmu | tlb_finish_mmu | unmap_region | do_munmap | vm_munmap | sys_munmap | system_call_fastpath | __GI___munmap In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been handled by reverting 05b843012335 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains inside dedicated memcgs. There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other than lru_lock held times. This logic, however, can be moved inside the function. mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them in a single run. The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages). However this code has no usage of pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) pages. This means that the lock acquisition frequency is approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled. The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache(). Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.

mm: allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings This patch (of 6): The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an address_space. To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative. This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE. This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set. In case there exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY. Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping, you can increase the counter without using the helpers. This is the same that we do for i_writecount.

mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively complicated and fragile. Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary: - Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging. - Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged. - On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused, so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case. Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache(). But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore. For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred to the new page during migration. mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well, which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(). However, care needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a page under migration. Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward. Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry before the final put_page() in page reclaim. Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock, whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock. Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references. Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm. It's from Hugh and I slightly changed it. Hugh's original changelog: swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin is sequential. This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced reclaim of useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more expensive than small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused significant overhead. This patch adds very simplistic random read detection. Stealing the PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch, avoiding the vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch, swapin_nr_pages() simply looks at readahead's current success rate, and narrows or widens its readahead window accordingly. There is little science to its heuristic: it's about as stupid as can be whilst remaining effective. The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running a single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB ram with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long when I used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that). Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes his Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1 patch which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14 patch, with page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads); HughPC4 this same patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads); HughPC0 with page_cluster 0 (1-page reads: no readahead). HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD. Seq for sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around; Rand for the same number of random touches. Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE anon mapping; Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs. One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did not optimize Shmem: seen below. Konstantin's approach was perhaps mistuned, 50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below. HDD Vanilla Shaohua HughOld HughNew HughPC4 HughPC0 Seq Anon 73921 76210 75611 76904 78191 121542 Seq Shmem 73601 73176 73855 72947 74543 118322 Rand Anon 895392 831243 871569 845197 846496 841680 Rand Shmem 1058375 1053486 827935 764955 764376 756489 SSD Vanilla Shaohua HughOld HughNew HughPC4 HughPC0 Seq Anon 24634 24198 24673 25107 21614 70018 Seq Shmem 24959 24932 25052 25703 22030 69678 Rand Anon 43014 26146 28075 25989 26935 25901 Rand Shmem 45349 45215 28249 24268 24138 24332 These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case: under heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent improvement or degradation, and wider testing would be welcome. Shaohua Li: Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's patch. I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is shrinked too fast (from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if there is no hit. And in such case, continuing doing readahead is good actually. I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload because so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out sequentially. So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink readahead size too fast. Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average): Vanilla Hugh New Seq 356 370 360 Random 4525 2447 2444 Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat 2'. The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of the x-axis) and the second part is running a sequential workload. swapin and swapout throughput are almost identical in steady state in both workloads. These are expected behavior. while in Vanilla, swapin is much bigger than swapout especially in random workload (because wrong readahead). Original patches by: Shaohua Li and Konstantin Khlebnikov.

Usually, when one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and the registers. I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is quite useful to people debugging issues in mm. This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual BUG_ON.

lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to deadlock while waiting on discard I/O completion read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought into the swapcache yet. This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT. This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary, thus avoiding the subtle race window.

mm: break up swap_writepage() for frontswap backends swap_writepage() is currently where frontswap hooks into the swap write path to capture pages with the frontswap_store() function. However, if a frontswap backend wants to "resume" the writeback of a page to the swap device, it can't call swap_writepage() as the page will simply reenter the backend. This patch separates swap_writepage() into a top and bottom half, the bottom half named __swap_writepage() to allow a frontswap backend, like zswap, to resume writeback beyond the frontswap_store() hook. __add_to_swap_cache() is also made non-static so that the page for which writeback is to be resumed can be added to the swap cache.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to allocate space and write to the blocks directly. This effectively ensures that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file. If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were resident in memory. This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file. int swap_activate(struct file *); int swap_deactivate(struct file *); The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory. The ->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate() returned success. After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache pages and ->readpage to read. It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but it is an unnecessary complication. Similarly, it is possible that ->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

swap: allow swap readahead to be merged Swap readahead works fine, but the I/O to disk is almost always done in page size requests, despite the fact that readahead submits 1<<page-cluster pages at a time. On older kernels the old per device plugging behavior might have captured this and merged the requests, but currently all comes down to much more I/Os than required. On a single device this might not be an issue, but as soon as a server runs on shared san resources savin I/Os not only improves swapin throughput but also provides a lower resource utilization. With a load running KVM in a lot of memory overcommitment (the hot memory is 1.5 times the host memory) swapping throughput improves significantly and the lead feels more responsive as well as achieves more throughput. In a test setup with 16 swap disks running blocktrace on one of those disks shows the improved merging: Prior: Reads Queued: 560,888, 2,243MiB Writes Queued: 226,242, 904,968KiB Read Dispatches: 544,701, 2,243MiB Write Dispatches: 159,318, 904,968KiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 544,716, 2,243MiB Writes Completed: 159,321, 904,980KiB Read Merges: 16,187, 64,748KiB Write Merges: 61,744, 246,976KiB IO unplugs: 149,614 Timer unplugs: 2,940 With the patch: Reads Queued: 734,315, 2,937MiB Writes Queued: 300,188, 1,200MiB Read Dispatches: 214,972, 2,937MiB Write Dispatches: 215,176, 1,200MiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 214,971, 2,937MiB Writes Completed: 215,177, 1,200MiB Read Merges: 519,343, 2,077MiB Write Merges: 73,325, 293,300KiB IO unplugs: 337,130 Timer unplugs: 11,184 I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much lower cpu consumption when broken down per transferred kilobyte (the majority of that due to saved interrupts and better cache handling). In a shared SAN others might get an additional benefit as well, because this now causes less protocol overhead.

mm: fix s390 BUG by __set_page_dirty_no_writeback on swap Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390 3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap() tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and radix_tree. That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set (causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the radix_tree slot is empty. We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up before the SetPageSwapCache. But a better fix is simply to do what's five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() (if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too. s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

mm: make swapin readahead skip over holes Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before. This can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed, swap space ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally ineffective. On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an hour to page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual machines down to a crawl. This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead of stopping at them. This allows the system to swap things back in at rates of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second. The checks done in valid_swaphandles are already done in read_swap_cache_async as well, allowing us to remove a fair amount of code.

memcg: fix GPF when cgroup removal races with last exit When moving tasks from old memcg (with move_charge_at_immigrate on new memcg), followed by removal of old memcg, hit General Protection Fault in mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() (called from release_pages called from free_pages_and_swap_cache from tlb_flush_mmu from tlb_finish_mmu from exit_mmap from mmput from exit_mm from do_exit). Somewhat reproducible, takes a few hours: the old struct mem_cgroup has been freed and poisoned by SLAB_DEBUG, but mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() is still trying to update its stats, and take page off lru before freeing. A task, or a charge, or a page on lru: each secures a memcg against removal. In this case, the last task has been moved out of the old memcg, and it is exiting: anonymous pages are uncharged one by one from the memcg, as they are zapped from its pagetables, so the charge gets down to 0; but the pages themselves are queued in an mmu_gather for freeing. Most of those pages will be on lru (and force_empty is careful to lru_add_drain_all, to add pages from pagevec to lru first), but not necessarily all: perhaps some have been isolated for page reclaim, perhaps some isolated for other reasons. So, force_empty may find no task, no charge and no page on lru, and let the removal proceed. There would still be no problem if these pages were immediately freed; but typically (and the put_page_testzero protocol demands it) they have to be added back to lru before they are found freeable, then removed from lru and freed. We don't see the issue when adding, because the mem_cgroup_iter() loops keep their own reference to the memcg being scanned; but when it comes to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list(). I believe this was not an issue in v3.2: there, PageCgroupAcctLRU and PageCgroupUsed flags were used (like a trick with mirrors) to deflect view of pc->mem_cgroup to the stable root_mem_cgroup when neither set. 38c5d72f3ebe ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule") mercifully removed those convolutions, but left this General Protection Fault. But it's surprisingly easy to restore the old behaviour: just check PageCgroupUsed in mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() (which decides on which lruvec to add), and reset pc to root_mem_cgroup if page is uncharged. A risky change? just going back to how it worked before; testing, and an audit of uses of pc->mem_cgroup, show no problem. And there's a nice bonus: with mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() itself making sure that an uncharged page goes to root lru, mem_cgroup_reset_owner() no longer has any purpose, and we can safely revert 4e5f01c2b9b9 ("memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary"). Calling update_page_reclaim_stat() after add_page_to_lru_list() in swap.c is not strictly necessary: the lru_lock there, with RCU before memcg structures are freed, makes mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page safe without that; but it seems cleaner to rely on one dependency less.

memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary. This is a preparation before removing a flag PCG_ACCT_LRU in page_cgroup and reducing atomic ops/complexity in memcg LRU handling. In some cases, pages are added to lru before charge to memcg and pages are not classfied to memory cgroup at lru addtion. Now, the lru where the page should be added is determined a bit in page_cgroup->flags and pc->mem_cgroup. I'd like to remove the check of flag. To handle the case pc->mem_cgroup may contain stale pointers if pages are added to LRU before classification. This patch resets pc->mem_cgroup to root_mem_cgroup before lru additions.

thp: split_huge_page paging Paging logic that splits the page before it is unmapped and added to swap to ensure backwards compatibility with the legacy swap code. Eventually swap should natively pageout the hugepages to increase performance and decrease seeking and fragmentation of swap space. swapoff can just skip over huge pmd as they cannot be part of swap yet. In add_to_swap be careful to split the page only if we got a valid swap entry so we don't split hugepages with a full swap. In theory we could split pages before isolating them during the lru scan, but for khugepaged to be safe, I'm relying on either mmap_sem write mode, or PG_lock taken, so split_huge_page has to run either with mmap_sem read/write mode or PG_lock taken. Calling it from isolate_lru_page would make locking more complicated, in addition to that split_huge_page would deadlock if called by __isolate_lru_page because it has to take the lru lock to add the tail pages.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

mm: add_to_swap_cache() does not return -EEXIST After commit 355cfa73 ("mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag"), only the context which have set SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag by swapcache_prepare() or get_swap_page() would call add_to_swap_cache(). So add_to_swap_cache() doesn't return -EEXIST any more. Even though it doesn't return -EEXIST, it's not good behavior conceptually to call swapcache_prepare() in the -EEXIST case, because it means clearing SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag while the entry is on swap cache.

mm: add_to_swap_cache() must not sleep After commit 355cfa73 ("mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag"), read_swap_cache_async() will busy-wait while a entry doesn't exist in swap cache but it has SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag. Such entries can exist on add/delete path of swap cache. On add path, add_to_swap_cache() is called soon after SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is set, and on delete path, swapcache_free() will be called (SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag is cleared) soon after __delete_from_swap_cache() is called. So, the busy-wait works well in most cases. But this mechanism can cause soft lockup if add_to_swap_cache() sleeps and read_swap_cache_async() tries to swap-in the same entry on the same cpu.

mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak. But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg. There are 2 kinds of references to swap. - reference from swap entry - reference from swap cache Then, - If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache. (*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[], current usage of counter is not very good. This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

CPU1: take mapping->tree_lock -> lock_page_cgroup(A) This patch tries to fix above deadlock by moving memcg's hook to out of mapping->tree_lock. charge/uncharge of pagecache/swapcache is protected by page lock, not tree_lock. After this patch, lock_page_cgroup() is not called under mapping->tree_lock.

memcg: mem+swap controller core This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap. However there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is avoided. Mem+Swap controller works as following. - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes. - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes. This has following benefits. - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap. Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.) We can avoid this case. And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory) until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg. Assume group A and group B. After some application executes, the system can be.. Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap. Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full. Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required. Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?" - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of mem+swap. In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap. Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is per swap entry record. Charge is done as following. map - charge page and memsw. unmap - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache. swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache) - uncharge page - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup. swap-in (do_swap_page) - charged as page and memsw. record in swap_cgroup is cleared. memsw accounting is decremented. swap-free (swap_free()) - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE. There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an overhead. This overhead is avoided by config or boot option. (see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.) TODO: - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.) But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

memcg: handle swap caches SwapCache support for memory resource controller (memcg) Before mem+swap controller, memcg itself should handle SwapCache in proper way. This is cut-out from it. In current memcg, SwapCache is just leaked and the user can create tons of SwapCache. This is a leak of account and should be handled. SwapCache accounting is done as following. charge (anon) - charged when it's mapped. (because of readahead, charge at add_to_swap_cache() is not sane) uncharge (anon) - uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and fully unmapped. means it's not uncharged at unmap. Note: delete from swap cache at swap-in is done after rmap information is established. charge (shmem) - charged at swap-in. this prevents charge at add_to_page_cache(). uncharge (shmem) - uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and not on shmem's radix-tree. at migration, check against 'old page' is modified to handle shmem. Comparing to the old version discussed (and caused troubles), we have advantages of - PCG_USED bit. - simple migrating handling. So, situation is much easier than several months ago, maybe.

mm: remove gfp_mask from add_to_swap Remove gfp_mask argument from add_to_swap(): it's misleading because its only caller, shrink_page_list(), is not atomic at that point; and in due course (implementing discard) we'll sometimes want to allocate some memory with GFP_NOIO (as is used in swap_writepage) when allocating swap. No change to the gfp_mask passed down to add_to_swap_cache(): still use __GFP_HIGH without __GFP_WAIT (with nomemalloc and nowarn as before): though it's not obvious if that's the best combination to ask for here.

mm: try_to_free_swap replaces remove_exclusive_swap_page remove_exclusive_swap_page(): its problem is in living up to its name. It doesn't matter if someone else has a reference to the page (raised page_count); it doesn't matter if the page is mapped into userspace (raised page_mapcount - though that hints it may be worth keeping the swap): all that matters is that there be no more references to the swap (and no writeback in progress). swapoff (try_to_unuse) has been removing pages from swapcache for years, with no concern for page count or page mapcount, and we used to have a comment in lookup_swap_cache() recognizing that: if you go for a page of swapcache, you'll get the right page, but it could have been removed from swapcache by the time you get page lock. So, give up asking for exclusivity: get rid of remove_exclusive_swap_page(), and remove_exclusive_swap_page_ref() and remove_exclusive_swap_page_count() which were spawned for the recent LRU work: replace them by the simpler try_to_free_swap() which just checks page_swapcount(). Similarly, remove the page_count limitation from free_swap_and_count(), but assume that it's worth holding on to the swap if page is mapped and swap nowhere near full. Add a vm_swap_full() test in free_swap_cache()? It would be consistent, but I think we probably have enough for now.

vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap ("anon"). The latter includes tmpfs. The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to find the page cache pages that it should evict. This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists. The big policy changes are in separate patches.

define page_file_cache() function Define page_file_cache() function to answer the question: is page backed by a file? Originally part of Rik van Riel's split-lru patch. Extracted to make available for other, independent reclaim patches. Moved inline function to linux/mm_inline.h where it will be needed by subsequent "split LRU" and "noreclaim" patches. Unfortunately this needs to use a page flag, since the PG_swapbacked state needs to be preserved all the way to the point where the page is last removed from the LRU. Trying to derive the status from other info in the page resulted in wrong VM statistics in earlier split VM patchsets. The total number of page flags in use on a 32 bit machine after this patch is 19.

mm: speculative page references If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or otherwise pinning a reference to the page. This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something else, we must be able to free it with a put_page). Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page in either case. This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie. adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make it work). Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to hold off speculative getters.

memcgroup: revert swap_state mods If we're charging rss and we're charging cache, it seems obvious that we should be charging swapcache - as has been done. But in practice that doesn't work out so well: both swapin readahead and swapoff leave the majority of pages charged to the wrong cgroup (the cgroup that happened to read them in, rather than the cgroup to which they belong). (Which is why unuse_pte's GFP_KERNEL while holding pte lock never showed up as a problem: no allocation was ever done there, every page read being already charged to the cgroup which initiated the swapoff.) It all works rather better if we leave the charging to do_swap_page and unuse_pte, and do nothing for swapcache itself: revert mm/swap_state.c to what it was before the memory-controller patches. This also speeds up significantly a contained process working at its limit: because it no longer needs to keep waiting for swap writeback to complete. Is it unfair that swap pages become uncharged once they're unmapped, even though they're still clearly private to particular cgroups? For a short while, yes; but PageReclaim arranges for those pages to go to the end of the inactive list and be reclaimed soon if necessary. shmem/tmpfs pages are a distinct case: their charging also benefits from this change, but their second life on the lists as swapcache pages may prove more unfair - that I need to check next.

The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

mm: fix PageUptodate data race After running SetPageUptodate, preceeding stores to the page contents to actually bring it uptodate may not be ordered with the store to set the page uptodate. Therefore, another CPU which checks PageUptodate is true, then reads the page contents can get stale data. Fix this by having an smp_wmb before SetPageUptodate, and smp_rmb after PageUptodate. Many places that test PageUptodate, do so with the page locked, and this would be enough to ensure memory ordering in those places if SetPageUptodate were only called while the page is locked. Unfortunately that is not always the case for some filesystems, but it could be an idea for the future. Also bring the handling of anonymous page uptodateness in line with that of file backed page management, by marking anon pages as uptodate when they _are_ uptodate, rather than when our implementation requires that they be marked as such. Doing allows us to get rid of the smp_wmb's in the page copying functions, which were especially added for anonymous pages for an analogous memory ordering problem. Both file and anonymous pages are handled with the same barriers. FAQ: Q. Why not do this in flush_dcache_page? A. Firstly, flush_dcache_page handles only one side (the smb side) of the ordering protocol; we'd still need smp_rmb somewhere. Secondly, hiding away memory barriers in a completely unrelated function is nasty; at least in the PageUptodate macros, they are located together with (half) the operations involved in the ordering. Thirdly, the smp_wmb is only required when first bringing the page uptodate, wheras flush_dcache_page should be called each time it is written to through the kernel mapping. It is logically the wrong place to put it. Q. Why does this increase my text size / reduce my performance / etc. A. Because it is adding the necessary instructions to eliminate the data-race. Q. Can it be improved? A. Yes, eg. if you were to create a rule that all SetPageUptodate operations run under the page lock, we could avoid the smp_rmb places where PageUptodate is queried under the page lock. Requires audit of all filesystems and at least some would need reworking. That's great you're interested, I'm eagerly awaiting your patches.

tmpfs: move swap swizzling into shmem move_to_swap_cache and move_from_swap_cache functions (which swizzle a page between tmpfs page cache and swap cache, to avoid page copying) are only used by shmem.c; and our subsequent fix for unionfs needs different treatments in the two instances of move_from_swap_cache. Move them from swap_state.c into their callsites shmem_writepage, shmem_unuse_inode and shmem_getpage, making add_to_swap_cache externally visible. shmem.c likes to say set_page_dirty where swap_state.c liked to say SetPageDirty: respect that diversity, which __set_page_dirty_no_writeback makes moot (and implies we should lose that "shift page from clean_pages to dirty_pages list" comment: it's on neither).

tmpfs: move swap_state stats update Both unionfs and memcgroups pose challenges to tmpfs and shmem. To help fix, it's best to move the swap swizzling functions from swap_state.c to shmem.c. As a preliminary to that, move swap stats updating down into __add_to_swap_cache, which will remain internal to swap_state.c. Well, actually, just move down the incrementation of add_total: remove noent_race and exist_race completely, they are relics of my 2.4.11 testing. Alt-SysRq-m users will be thrilled if 2.6.25 is at last free of "race M+N"s.

swapin needs gfp_mask for loop on tmpfs Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout. In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has become easy to hang on one machine. Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache). When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in, read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang. So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not. This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing storage and discarding. An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should be marked deprecated if this patch is merged. Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of Hugh Dickens. Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector and ramfs allocations.

[PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_pagecache to per zone counter Currently a single atomic variable is used to establish the size of the page cache in the whole machine. The zoned VM counters have the same method of implementation as the nr_pagecache code but also allow the determination of the pagecache size per zone. Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter named NR_FILE_PAGES. Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off. We can therefore use the __ variant here.

[PATCH] Direct Migration V9: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() method Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration. A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature. The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.
