For several years, MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH was kept at 32 but with bigger
machines and the network intensive workloads requiring througput in Gbps,
32 is too small and makes the memcg charging path a bottleneck. For now,
increase it to 64 for easy acceptance to 6.0. We will need to revisit
this in future for ever increasing demand of higher performance.
Please note that the memcg charge path drain the per-cpu memcg charge
stock, so there should not be any oom behavior change. Though it does
have impact on rstat flushing and high limit reclaim backoff.
To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we
ran the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy.
$ netserver -6
# 36 instances of netperf with following params
$ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Results (average throughput of netperf):
Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps
With patch 17064.7 Mbps (62.7% improvement)
With the patch, the throughput improved by 62.7%.

With memcg v2 enabled, memcg->memory.usage is a very hot member for the
workloads doing memcg charging on multiple CPUs concurrently.
Particularly the network intensive workloads. In addition, there is a
false cache sharing between memory.usage and memory.high on the charge
path. This patch moves the usage into a separate cacheline and move all
the read most fields into separate cacheline.
To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran
the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy.
$ netserver -6
# 36 instances of netperf with following params
$ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Results (average throughput of netperf):
Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps
With patch 12413.7 Mbps (18.4% improvement)
With the patch, the throughput improved by 18.4%.
One side-effect of this patch is the increase in the size of struct
mem_cgroup. For example with this patch on 64 bit build, the size of
struct mem_cgroup increased from 4032 bytes to 4416 bytes. However for
the performance improvement, this additional size is worth it. In
addition there are opportunities to reduce the size of struct mem_cgroup
like deprecation of kmem and tcpmem page counters and better packing.

Patch series "memcg: optimize charge codepath", v2.
Recently Linux networking stack has moved from a very old per socket
pre-charge caching to per-cpu caching to avoid pre-charge fragmentation
and unwarranted OOMs. One impact of this change is that for network
traffic workloads, memcg charging codepath can become a bottleneck. The
kernel test robot has also reported this regression[1]. This patch series
tries to improve the memcg charging for such workloads.
This patch series implement three optimizations:
(A) Reduce atomic ops in page counter update path.
(B) Change layout of struct page_counter to eliminate false sharing
between usage and high.
(C) Increase the memcg charge batch to 64.
To evaluate the impact of these optimizations, on a 72 CPUs machine, we
ran the following workload in root memcg and then compared with scenario
where the workload is run in a three level of cgroup hierarchy with top
level having min and low setup appropriately.
$ netserver -6
# 36 instances of netperf with following params
$ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Results (average throughput of netperf):
1. root memcg 21694.8 Mbps
2. 6.0-rc1 10482.7 Mbps (-51.6%)
3. 6.0-rc1 + (A) 14542.5 Mbps (-32.9%)
4. 6.0-rc1 + (B) 12413.7 Mbps (-42.7%)
5. 6.0-rc1 + (C) 17063.7 Mbps (-21.3%)
6. 6.0-rc1 + (A+B+C) 20120.3 Mbps (-7.2%)
With all three optimizations, the memcg overhead of this workload has
been reduced from 51.6% to just 7.2%.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220619150456.GB34471@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/
This patch (of 3):
For cgroups using low or min protections, the function
propagate_protected_usage() was doing an atomic xchg() operation
irrespectively. We can optimize out this atomic operation for one
specific scenario where the workload is using the protection (i.e. min >
0) and the usage is above the protection (i.e. usage > min).
This scenario is actually very common where the users want a part of their
workload to be protected against the external reclaim. Though this
optimization does introduce a race when the usage is around the protection
and concurrent charges and uncharged trip it over or under the protection.
In such cases, we might see lower effective protection but the subsequent
charge/uncharge will correct it.
To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran
the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy with top level
having min and low setup appropriately to see if this optimization is
effective for the mentioned case.
$ netserver -6
# 36 instances of netperf with following params
$ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K
Results (average throughput of netperf):

With patch 14542.5 Mbps (38.7% improvement)
With the patch, the throughput improved by 38.7%

When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is
called to migrate pages out of zones which should not contain any longterm
pinned pages.
When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning needs
to be retried. Migration can also fail, in which case the pages will also
have been unpinned but the operation should not be retried. If all pages
are in the correct zone nothing will be unpinned and no retry is required.
The logic in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() tracks unnecessary state
and the return codes for each case are difficult to follow. Refactor the
code to clean this up. No behaviour change is intended.

In page_counter_set_max, we want to make sure the new limit is not below
the concurrently-changing counter value. We read the counter and check
that the limit is not below the counter before the swap. After the swap,
we read the counter again and retry in case the counter is incremented as
this may violate the requirement. Even though the page_counter_try_charge
can see the old limit, it is guaranteed that the counter is not above the
old limit after the increment. So in case the new limit is not below the
old limit, the counter is guaranteed to be not above the new limit too.
We can skip the retry in this case to optimize a little bit.

pmd_huge() is used to validate if the pmd entry is mapped by a huge page,
also including the case of non-present (migration or hwpoisoned) pmd entry
on arm64 or x86 architectures. This means that pmd_pfn() can not get the
correct pfn number for a non-present pmd entry, which will cause
damon_get_page() to get an incorrect page struct (also may be NULL by
pfn_to_online_page()), making the access statistics incorrect.
This means that the DAMON may make incorrect decision according to the
incorrect statistics, for example, DAMON may can not reclaim cold page
in time due to this cold page was regarded as accessed mistakenly if
DAMOS_PAGEOUT operation is specified.
Moreover it does not make sense that we still waste time to get the page
of the non-present entry. Just treat it as not-accessed and skip it,
which maintains consistency with non-present pte level entries.
So add pmd entry present validation to fix the above issues.

There was a memory failure issue hit during HW error injection testing
with 5.18 kernel + xfs as rootfs. The test was killed and a system reboot
was required to re-run the test.
The issue was tracked down to a THP split failure caused by the memory
failure not being handled. The page dump showed:

It was like the error was injected to a large folio for xfs with private

With private data released before splitting the THP, the test case could
be run successfully many times without rebooting the system.

When the pgtable is NULL in the set_huge_zero_page(), we should not
increment the count of PTE page table pages by calling mm_inc_nr_ptes().
Otherwise we may receive the following warning when the mm exits:
BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm
Now we can't observe the above warning since only
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() invokes set_huge_zero_page() and the pgtable
can not be NULL.
Therefore, instead of moving mm_inc_nr_ptes() to the non-NULL branch of
pgtable, it is better to remove the redundant pgtable check directly.

flags in the page_ext->flags
access results into the
use-after-free (leading to
the translation faults).
As mentioned above, there is really no synchronization between page_ext
access and its freeing in the memory_offline.
The memory offline steps(roughly) on a memory block is as below:
1) Isolate all the pages
2) while(1)
try free the pages to buddy.(->free_list[MIGRATE_ISOLATE])
3) delete the pages from this buddy list.
4) Then free page_ext.(Note: The struct page is still alive as it is
freed only during hot remove of the memory which frees the memmap,
which steps the user might not perform).
This design leads to the state where struct page is alive but the struct
page_ext is freed, where the later is ideally part of the former which
just representing the page_flags (check [3] for why this design is
chosen).
The abovementioned race is just one example __but the problem persists in
the other paths too involving page_ext->flags access(eg:
page_is_idle())__.
Fix all the paths where offline races with page_ext access by maintaining
synchronization with rcu lock and is achieved in 3 steps:
1) Invalidate all the page_ext's of the sections of a memory block by
storing a flag in the LSB of mem_section->page_ext.
2) Wait until all the existing readers to finish working with the
->page_ext's with synchronize_rcu(). Any parallel process that starts
after this call will not get page_ext, through lookup_page_ext(), for
the block parallel offline operation is being performed.
3) Now safely free all sections ->page_ext's of the block on which
offline operation is being performed.
Note: If synchronize_rcu() takes time then optimizations can be done in
this path through call_rcu()[2].

The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patch, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. If the
hint page fault latency of a page is less than the hot threshold, we will
try to promote the page, and the page is called the candidate promotion
page.
If the number of the candidate promotion pages in the statistics interval
is much more than the promotion rate limit, the hot threshold will be
decreased to reduce the number of the candidate promotion pages.
Otherwise, the hot threshold will be increased to increase the number of
the candidate promotion pages.
To make the above method works, in each statistics interval, the total
number of the pages to check (on which the hint page faults occur) and the
hot/cold distribution need to be stable. Because the page tables are
scanned linearly in NUMA balancing, but the hot/cold distribution isn't
uniform along the address usually, the statistics interval should be
larger than the NUMA balancing scan period. So in the patch, the max scan
period is used as statistics interval and it works well in our tests.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote

A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node
via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by
the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next
second.
A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added
for the users to specify the limit.

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).
sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \
......
--tables=200 \
--table-size=1000000 \
--report-interval=10 \
--threads=16 \
--time=120
The tps can be improved about 5%.
This patch (of 3):
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is
called to migrate pages out of zones which should not contain any longterm
pinned pages.
When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning needs
to be retried. This is indicated by returning zero. When all pages are
in the correct zone the number of pinned pages is returned.
However migration can also fail, in which case pages are unpinned and
-ENOMEM is returned. However if the failure was due to not being unable
to isolate a page zero is returned. This leads to indefinite looping in
__gup_longterm_locked().
Fix this by simplifying the return codes such that zero indicates all
pages were successfully pinned in the correct zone while errors indicate
either pages were migrated and pinning should be retried or that migration
has failed and therefore the pinning operation should fail.

By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is
up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after
expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios
we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub
objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for
allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the
probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by
other slab objects.
This patch introduces a sysfs interface
'/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific
slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact
current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for
specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is
taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has (newly introduced)
SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.
