mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Interface to add driver-managed system
ram", v4.
kexec (via kexec_load()) can currently not properly handle memory added
via dax/kmem, and will have similar issues with virtio-mem. kexec-tools
will currently add all memory to the fixed-up initial firmware memmap. In
case of dax/kmem, this means that - in contrast to a proper reboot - how
that persistent memory will be used can no longer be configured by the
kexec'd kernel. In case of virtio-mem it will be harmful, because that
memory might contain inaccessible pieces that require coordination with
hypervisor first.
In both cases, we want to let the driver in the kexec'd kernel handle
detecting and adding the memory, like during an ordinary reboot.
Introduce add_memory_driver_managed(). More on the samentics are in patch
#1.
In the future, we might want to make this behavior configurable for
dax/kmem- either by configuring it in the kernel (which would then also
allow to configure kexec_file_load()) or in kexec-tools by also adding
"System RAM (kmem)" memory from /proc/iomem to the fixed-up initial
firmware memmap.
More on the motivation can be found in [1] and [2].
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200429160803.109056-1-david@redhat.com
[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200430102908.10107-1-david@redhat.com
This patch (of 3):
Some device drivers rely on memory they managed to not get added to the
initial (firmware) memmap as system RAM - so it's not used as initial
system RAM by the kernel and the driver is under control. While this is
the case during cold boot and after a reboot, kexec is not aware of that
and might add such memory to the initial (firmware) memmap of the kexec
kernel. We need ways to teach kernel and userspace that this system ram
is different.
For example, dax/kmem allows to decide at runtime if persistent memory is
to be used as system ram. Another future user is virtio-mem, which has to
coordinate with its hypervisor to deal with inaccessible parts within
memory resources.
We want to let users in the kernel (esp. kexec) but also user space
(esp. kexec-tools) know that this memory has different semantics and
needs to be handled differently:
1. Don't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/
2. Name the memory resource "System RAM ($DRIVER)" (exposed via
/proc/iomem) ($DRIVER might be "kmem", "virtio_mem").
3. Flag the memory resource IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED
/sys/firmware/memmap/ [1] represents the "raw firmware-provided memory
map" because "on most architectures that firmware-provided memory map is
modified afterwards by the kernel itself". The primary user is kexec on
x86-64. Since commit

mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK
The comment in add_memory_resource() is stale: hotadd_new_pgdat() will no longer call get_pfn_range_for_nid(), as a hotadded pgdat will simply span no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory blocks. The only archs that care about memblocks for hotplugged memory (either for iterating over all system RAM or testing for memory validity) are arm64, s390x, and powerpc - due to CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. Without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, we can simply stop messing with memblocks.

mm/memory_hotplug: set node_start_pfn of hotadded pgdat to 0
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v1. A hotadded node/pgdat will span no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() -> resize_pgdat_range - e.g., when onlining memory blocks. We don't have to initialize the node_start_pfn to the memory we are adding. This patch (of 2): Especially, there is an inconsistency: - Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node with cpus: node_start_pf == 0 - Offlining and removing last memory from a node: node_start_pfn == 0 - Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node without cpus: node_start_pfn != 0 As soon as memory is onlined, node_start_pfn is overwritten with the actual start. E.g., when adding two DIMMs but only onlining one of both, only that DIMM (with online memory blocks) is spanned by the node. Currently, the validity of node_start_pfn really is linked to node_spanned_pages != 0. With node_spanned_pages == 0 (e.g., before onlining memory), it has no meaning. So let's stop setting node_start_pfn, just to be overwritten via move_pfn_range_to_zone(). This avoids confusion when looking at the code, wondering which magic will be performed with the node_start_pfn in this function, when hotadding a pgdat.

mm/memory_hotplug: refrain from adding memory into an impossible node
A misbehaving qemu created a situation where the ACPI SRAT table advertised one fewer proximity domains than intended. The NFIT table did describe all the expected proximity domains. This caused the device dax driver to assign an impossible target_node to the device, and when hotplugged as system memory, this would fail with the following signature: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000088 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 80000001767d4067 P4D 80000001767d4067 PUD 10e0c4067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 4 PID: 22737 Comm: kswapd3 Tainted: G O 5.6.0-rc5 #9 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:prepare_kswapd_sleep+0x7c/0xc0 Code: 89 df e8 87 fd ff ff 89 c2 31 c0 84 d2 74 e6 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 8b 05 fb af 7a 01 48 63 93 88 1d 01 00 48 8b 84 d0 20 0f 00 00 <48> 3b 98 88 00 00 00 75 28 f0 80 a0 80 00 00 00 fe f0 80 a3 38 20 RSP: 0018:ffffc900017a3e78 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8881209e0000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000003 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8881209e0e80 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000008000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000003 R12: 0000000000000003 R13: 0000000000000003 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffffc900017a3ec8 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff888318c00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000088 CR3: 0000000120b50002 CR4: 00000000001606e0 Call Trace: kswapd+0x103/0x520 kthread+0x120/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 Add a check in the add_memory path to fail if the node to which we are adding memory is in the node_possible_map Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200416225438.15208-1-vishal.l.verma@intel.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm: add kvfree_sensitive() for freeing sensitive data objects
For kvmalloc'ed data object that contains sensitive information like
cryptographic keys, we need to make sure that the buffer is always cleared
before freeing it. Using memset() alone for buffer clearing may not
provide certainty as the compiler may compile it away. To be sure, the
special memzero_explicit() has to be used.
This patch introduces a new kvfree_sensitive() for freeing those sensitive
data objects allocated by kvmalloc(). The relevant places where
kvfree_sensitive() can be used are modified to use it.

mm/debug: add tests validating architecture page table helpers
This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics. This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing page table helpers or addition of new ones. This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page and validating them. Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called via late_initcall(). This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected. Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64, x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers. Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

mm/memory_hotplug: Introduce offline_and_remove_memory()
virtio-mem wants to offline and remove a memory block once it unplugged all subblocks (e.g., using alloc_contig_range()). Let's provide an interface to do that from a driver. virtio-mem already supports to offline partially unplugged memory blocks. Offlining a fully unplugged memory block will not require to migrate any pages. All unplugged subblocks are PageOffline() and have a reference count of 0 - so offlining code will simply skip them. All we need is an interface to offline and remove the memory from kernel module context, where we don't have access to the memory block devices (esp. find_memory_block() and device_offline()) and the device hotplug lock. To keep things simple, allow to only work on a single memory block.

mm: Allow to offline unmovable PageOffline() pages via MEM_GOING_OFFLINE
virtio-mem wants to allow to offline memory blocks of which some parts were unplugged (allocated via alloc_contig_range()), especially, to later offline and remove completely unplugged memory blocks. The important part is that PageOffline() has to remain set until the section is offline, so these pages will never get accessed (e.g., when dumping). The pages should not be handed back to the buddy (which would require clearing PageOffline() and result in issues if offlining fails and the pages are suddenly in the buddy). Let's allow to do that by allowing to isolate any PageOffline() page when offlining. This way, we can reach the memory hotplug notifier MEM_GOING_OFFLINE, where the driver can signal that he is fine with offlining this page by dropping its reference count. PageOffline() pages with a reference count of 0 can then be skipped when offlining the pages (like if they were free, however they are not in the buddy). Anybody who uses PageOffline() pages and does not agree to offline them (e.g., Hyper-V balloon, XEN balloon, VMWare balloon for 2MB pages) will not decrement the reference count and make offlining fail when trying to migrate such an unmovable page. So there should be no observable change. Same applies to balloon compaction users (movable PageOffline() pages), the pages will simply be migrated. Note 1: If offlining fails, a driver has to increment the reference count again in MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. Note 2: A driver that makes use of this has to be aware that re-onlining the memory block has to be handled by hooking into onlining code (online_page_callback_t), resetting the page PageOffline() and not giving them to the buddy.

virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotunplug part 2
We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later. When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor. We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range(). It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged. We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to make unplug more likely to succeed. Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched. As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from kernel module context, export the symbols. Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

mm/thp: rename pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid()
pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory. pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge page thus also clearing pmd_present() test. This creates the following situation which is counter intuitive. [pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) = true] This renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() reflecting the helper's functionality more accurately while changing the above mentioned situation as follows. This does not create any functional change. [pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd)) = true] This is not applicable for platforms that define own pmdp_invalidate() via __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE.

mm: vmscan: limit the range of LRU type balancing
When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant latencies until the scanner has caught up. Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of the lists need to adjust.

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

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.

mm: only count actual rotations as LRU reclaim cost
When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when they're in an executable mapping. The others get deactivated. When it comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing memory. Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

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

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

mm: vmscan: drop unnecessary div0 avoidance rounding in get_scan_count()
When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so: anon_prio = swappiness; file_prio = 200 - anon_prio; [...] /* * The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely * proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on * each list that were recently referenced and in active use. */ ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1); ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1; fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1); fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1; spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock); fraction[0] = ap; fraction[1] = fp; denominator = ap + fp + 1; While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.

mm: remove use-once cache bias from LRU balancing
When the splitlru patches divided page cache and swap-backed pages into
separate LRU lists, the pressure balance between the lists was biased to
account for the fact that streaming IO can cause memory pressure with a
flood of pages that are used only once. New page cache additions would
tip the balance toward the file LRU, and repeat access would neutralize
that bias again. This ensured that page reclaim would always go for
used-once cache first.

mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon
We activate cache refaults with reuse distances in pages smaller than the size of the total cache. This allows new pages with competitive access frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially displace pages on the active list that have gone cold. However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active cache in a competition for the hottest memory. This is not a great default assumption. The page cache might be thrashing while there are enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache. Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages. Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs depending on the IO situation. Rotational drives will prefer avoiding random IO from swap and go harder after cache. But fundamentally, hot cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM.

mm: allow swappiness that prefers reclaiming anon over the file workingset
With the advent of fast random IO devices (SSDs, PMEM) and in-memory swap devices such as zswap, it's possible for swap to be much faster than filesystems, and for swapping to be preferable over thrashing filesystem caches. Allow setting swappiness - which defines the rough relative IO cost of cache misses between page cache and swap-backed pages - to reflect such situations by making the swap-preferred range configurable.

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

mm: memcontrol: update page->mem_cgroup stability rules

This was by far the biggest exception to our rules and it didn't stop at lock_page() or lock_page_memcg(). 2. We charge pages before they get put into page tables now, so the somewhat fishy rule about "can be in page table as long as it's still locked" is now gone and boiled down to having an exclusive reference to the page. Document the new rules.

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: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part of memory control
Without swap page tracking, 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 does readahead, but without the cgroup records of who owned the page at swapout, readahead pages don't get charged until somebody actually faults them into their page table and we can identify an owner task. This can be maliciously exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead allocations without charging the pages. Make swap swap page tracking an integral part of memcg and remove the Kconfig options. In the first place, it was only made configurable to allow users to save some memory. But the overhead of tracking cgroup ownership per swap page is minimal - 2 byte per page, or 512k per 1G of swap, or 0.04%. Saving that at the expense of broken containment semantics is not something we should present as a coequal option. The swapaccount=0 boot option will continue to exist, and it will eliminate the page_counter overhead and hide the swap control files, but it won't disable swap slot ownership tracking. This patch makes sure we always have the cgroup records at swapin time; the next patch will fix the actual bug by charging readahead swap pages at swapin time rather than at fault time. v2: fix double swap charge bug in cgroup1/cgroup2 code gating [hannes@cmpxchg.org: fix crash with cgroup_disable=memory] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200521215855.GB815153@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

mm: memcontrol: convert page cache to a new mem_cgroup_charge() API
The try/commit/cancel protocol that memcg uses dates back to when pages used to be uncharged upon removal from the page cache, and thus couldn't be committed before the insertion had succeeded. Nowadays, pages are uncharged when they are physically freed; it doesn't matter whether the insertion was successful or not. For the page cache, the transaction dance has become unnecessary. Introduce a mem_cgroup_charge() function that simply charges a newly allocated page to a cgroup and sets up page->mem_cgroup in one single step. If the insertion fails, the caller doesn't have to do anything but free/put the page. Then switch the page cache over to this new API. Subsequent patches will also convert anon pages, but it needs a bit more prep work. Right now, memcg depends on page->mapping being already set up at the time of charging, so that it can maintain its own MEMCG_CACHE and MEMCG_RSS counters. For anon, page->mapping is set under the same pte lock under which the page is publishd, so a single charge point that can block doesn't work there just yet. The following prep patches will replace the private memcg counters with the generic vmstat counters, thus removing the page->mapping dependency, then complete the transition to the new single-point charge API and delete the old transactional scheme. v2: leave shmem swapcache when charging fails to avoid double IO (Joonsoo) v3: rebase on preceeding shmem simplification patch Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> 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.

The cgroup swaprate throttling is about matching new anon allocations to the rate of available IO when that is being throttled. It's the io controller hooking into the VM, rather than a memory controller thing. Rename mem_cgroup_throttle_swaprate() to cgroup_throttle_swaprate(), and drop the @memcg argument which is only used to check whether the preceding page charge has succeeded and the fault is proceeding. We could decouple the call from mem_cgroup_try_charge() here as well, but that would cause unnecessary churn: the following patches convert all callsites to a new charge API and we'll decouple as we go along.

mm: memcontrol: drop @compound parameter from memcg charging API
The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging. The majority of callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of naked "false, false" argument lists. This makes for cryptic code and is a breeding ground for subtle mistakes. Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and doesn't need to be passed along. This is safe because charging completes before the page is published and somebody may split it. Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally. That function does PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that nobody passes in tail pages by accident. The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry over unnecessary weight.

mm: memcontrol: fix stat-corrupting race in charge moving
The move_lock is a per-memcg lock, but the VM accounting code that needs to acquire it comes from the page and follows page->mem_cgroup under RCU protection. That means that the page becomes unlocked not when we drop the move_lock, but when we update page->mem_cgroup. And that assignment doesn't imply any memory ordering. If that pointer write gets reordered against the reads of the page state - page_mapped, PageDirty etc. the state may change while we rely on it being stable and we can end up corrupting the counters. Place an SMP memory barrier to make sure we're done with all page state by the time the new page->mem_cgroup becomes visible. Also replace the open-coded move_lock with a lock_page_memcg() to make it more obvious what we're serializing against.

mm: fix NUMA node file count error in replace_page_cache()
Patch series "mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation", v2.
This patch series reworks memcg to charge swapin pages directly at
swapin time, rather than at fault time, which may be much later, or
not happen at all.
Changes in version 2:
- prevent double charges on pre-allocated hugepages in khugepaged
- leave shmem swapcache when charging fails to avoid double IO (Joonsoo)
- fix temporary accounting bug by switching rmap<->commit (Joonsoo)
- fix double swap charge bug in cgroup1/cgroup2 code gating
- simplify swapin error checking (Joonsoo)
- mm: memcontrol: document the new swap control behavior (Alex)
- review tags
The delayed swapin charging scheme we have right now causes problems:
- Alex's per-cgroup lru_lock patches rely on pages that have been
isolated from the LRU to have a stable page->mem_cgroup; otherwise
the lock may change underneath him. Swapcache pages are charged only
after they are added to the LRU, and charging doesn't follow the LRU
isolation protocol.
- Joonsoo's anon workingset patches need a suitable LRU at the time
the page enters the swap cache and displaces the non-resident
info. But the correct LRU is only available after charging.
- It's a containment hole / DoS vector. Users can trigger arbitrarily
large swap readahead using MADV_WILLNEED. The memory is never
charged unless somebody actually touches it.
- It complicates the page->mem_cgroup stabilization rules
In order to charge pages directly at swapin time, the memcg code base
needs to be prepared, and several overdue cleanups become a necessity:
To charge pages at swapin time, we need to always have cgroup
ownership tracking of swap records. We also cannot rely on
page->mapping to tell apart page types at charge time, because that's
only set up during a page fault.
To eliminate the page->mapping dependency, memcg needs to ditch its
private page type counters (MEMCG_CACHE, MEMCG_RSS, NR_SHMEM) in favor
of the generic vmstat counters and accounting sites, such as
NR_FILE_PAGES, NR_ANON_MAPPED etc.
To switch to generic vmstat counters, the charge sequence must be
adjusted such that page->mem_cgroup is set up by the time these
counters are modified.
The series is structured as follows:
1. Bug fixes
2. Decoupling charging from rmap
3. Swap controller integration into memcg
4. Direct swapin charging
This patch (of 19):
When replacing one page with another one in the cache, we have to decrease
the file count of the old page's NUMA node and increase the one of the new
NUMA node, otherwise the old node leaks the count and the new node
eventually underflows its counter.
Fixes:

mm/hugetlb: avoid unnecessary check on pud and pmd entry in huge_pte_offset
When huge_pte_offset() is called, the parameter sz can only be PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE. If sz is PUD_SIZE and code can reach pud, then *pud must be none, or normal hugetlb entry, or non-present (migration or hwpoisoned) hugetlb entry, and we can directly return pud. When sz is PMD_SIZE, pud must be none or present, and if code can reach pmd, we can directly return pmd. So after this patch the code is simplified by first check on the parameter sz, and avoid unnecessary checks in current code. Same semantics of existing code is maintained.

hugetlbfs: clean up command line processing
With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code. - Make code match desired semantics - Update documentation with semantics - Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'. - Consistently name command line parsing routines. - Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have been specified. - Add comments to code - Describe some of the subtle interactions - Describe semantics of command line arguments This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of gigantic huge pages to preallocate. Previously on X86 command line, hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and, # grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo HugePages_Total: 0 # sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages vm.nr_hugepages = 2 vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2 # cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages 2 After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc, sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this. To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was made to command line processing. Previously the command line, hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256 would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages. The value 128 would be ignored without any warning. After this patch, 128 2M pages will be allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of 256 is ignored. This change in behavior is required because allocation of implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages. Previously the code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate pages of default size. However the bootmem allocator required for gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

hugetlbfs: remove hugetlb_add_hstate() warning for existing hstate
hugetlb_add_hstate() prints a warning if the hstate already exists. This was originally done as part of kernel command line parsing. If 'hugepagesz=' was specified more than once, the warning pr_warn("hugepagesz= specified twice, ignoring\n"); would be printed. Some architectures want to enable all huge page sizes. They would call hugetlb_add_hstate for all supported sizes. However, this was done after command line processing and as a result hstates could have already been created for some sizes. To make sure no warning were printed, there would often be code like: if (!size_to_hstate(size) hugetlb_add_hstate(ilog2(size) - PAGE_SHIFT) The only time we want to print the warning is as the result of command line processing. So, remove the warning from hugetlb_add_hstate and add it to the single arch independent routine processing "hugepagesz=". After this, calls to size_to_hstate() in arch specific code can be removed and hugetlb_add_hstate can be called without worrying about warning messages.

hugetlbfs: move hugepagesz= parsing to arch independent code
Now that architectures provide arch_hugetlb_valid_size(), parsing of "hugepagesz=" can be done in architecture independent code. Create a single routine to handle hugepagesz= parsing and remove all arch specific routines. We can also remove the interface hugetlb_bad_size() as this is no longer used outside arch independent code. This also provides consistent behavior of hugetlbfs command line options. The hugepagesz= option should only be specified once for a specific size, but some architectures allow multiple instances. This appears to be more of an oversight when code was added by some architectures to set up ALL huge pages sizes.

hugetlbfs: add arch_hugetlb_valid_size
Patch series "Clean up hugetlb boot command line processing", v4. Longpeng(Mike) reported a weird message from hugetlb command line processing and proposed a solution [1]. While the proposed patch does address the specific issue, there are other related issues in command line processing. As hugetlbfs evolved, updates to command line processing have been made to meet immediate needs and not necessarily in a coordinated manner. The result is that some processing is done in arch specific code, some is done in arch independent code and coordination is problematic. Semantics can vary between architectures. The patch series does the following: - Define arch specific arch_hugetlb_valid_size routine used to validate passed huge page sizes. - Move hugepagesz= command line parsing out of arch specific code and into an arch independent routine. - Clean up command line processing to follow desired semantics and document those semantics. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200305033014.1152-1-longpeng2@huawei.com This patch (of 3): The architecture independent routine hugetlb_default_setup sets up the default huge pages size. It has no way to verify if the passed value is valid, so it accepts it and attempts to validate at a later time. This requires undocumented cooperation between the arch specific and arch independent code. For architectures that support more than one huge page size, provide a routine arch_hugetlb_valid_size to validate a huge page size. hugetlb_default_setup can use this to validate passed values. arch_hugetlb_valid_size will also be used in a subsequent patch to move processing of the "hugepagesz=" in arch specific code to a common routine in arch independent code.

thp: change CoW semantics for anon-THP
Currently we have different copy-on-write semantics for anon- and file-THP. For anon-THP we try to allocate huge page on the write fault, but on file-THP we split PMD and allocate 4k page. Arguably, file-THP semantics is more desirable: we don't necessary want to unshare full PMD range from the parent on the first access. This is the primary reason THP is unusable for some workloads, like Redis. The original THP refcounting didn't allow to have PTE-mapped compound pages, so we had no options, but to allocate huge page on CoW (with fallback to 512 4k pages). The current refcounting doesn't have such limitations and we can cut a lot of complex code out of fault path. khugepaged is now able to recover THP from such ranges if the configuration allows.

khugepaged: allow to collapse a page shared across fork
The page can be included into collapse as long as it doesn't have extra pins (from GUP or otherwise). Logic to check the refcount is moved to a separate function. For pages in swap cache, add compound_nr(page) to the expected refcount, in order to handle the compound page case. This is in preparation for the following patch. VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() was removed from __collapse_huge_page_copy() as the invariant it checks is no longer valid: the source can be mapped multiple times now.

khugepaged: drain LRU add pagevec after swapin
collapse_huge_page() tries to swap in pages that are part of the PMD range. Just swapped in page goes though LRU add cache. The cache gets extra reference on the page. The extra reference can lead to the collapse fail: the following __collapse_huge_page_isolate() would check refcount and abort collapse seeing unexpected refcount.

khugepaged: do not stop collapse if less than half PTEs are referenced
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() checks the number of referenced PTE to
decide if the memory range is hot enough to justify swapin.
We have few problems with the approach:
- It is way too late: we can do the check much earlier and safe time.
khugepaged_scan_pmd() already knows if we have any pages to swap in
and number of referenced page.
- It stops collapse altogether if there's not enough referenced pages,
not only swappingin.
Fix it by making the right check early. We also can avoid additional
page table scanning if khugepaged_scan_pmd() haven't found any swap
entries.

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap()
Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter. The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is the smallest size that the alignment allows. The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

mm: initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled
Initializing struct pages is a long task and keeping interrupts disabled for the duration of this operation introduces a number of problems. 1. jiffies are not updated for long period of time, and thus incorrect time is reported. See proposed solution and discussion here: lkml/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com 2. It prevents farther improving deferred page initialization by allowing intra-node multi-threading. We are keeping interrupts disabled to solve a rather theoretical problem that was never observed in real world (See |

mm/pagealloc.c: call touch_nmi_watchdog() on max order boundaries in deferred init
Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4.
Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to
make code more modular and allow jiffies to update.
Original approach, and discussion can be found here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
This patch (of 3):
deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls
touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats. Soon it
will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be
used instead.
deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared
with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so
it can't call cond_resched().
Pull the watchdog calls up to these two places to allow the first to be
changed later, independently of the second. The frequency reduces from
twice per pageblock (init and free) to once per max order block.
Fixes:

mm, page_alloc: reset the zone->watermark_boost early
Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like min_free_kbytes, water_mark_scale_factor etc, when ->watermark_boost is set will result in higher low and high watermarks than the user asked. Below are the steps to reproduce the problem on system setup of Android kernel running on Snapdragon hardware. 1) Default settings of the system are as below: #cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes = 5162 #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 8340 high 8539 2) Monitor the zone->watermark_boost(by adding a debug print in the kernel) and whenever it is greater than zero value, write the same value of min_free_kbytes obtained from step 1. #echo 5162 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes 3) Then read the zone watermarks in the system while the ->watermark_boost is zero. This should show the same values of watermarks as step 1 but shown a higher values than asked. #cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node Node 0, zone Normal min 797 low 21148 high 21347 These higher values are because of updating the zone watermarks using the macro min_wmark_pages(zone) which also adds the zone->watermark_boost. #define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] + z->watermark_boost) So the steps that lead to the issue are: 1) On the extfrag event, watermarks are boosted by storing the required value in ->watermark_boost. 2) User tries to update the zone watermarks level in the system through min_free_kbytes or watermark_scale_factor. 3) Later, when kswapd woke up, it resets the zone->watermark_boost to zero. In step 2), we use the min_wmark_pages() macro to store the watermarks in the zone structure thus the values are always offsetted by ->watermark_boost value. This can be avoided by resetting the ->watermark_boost to zero before it is used.

mm/page_alloc.c: reset numa stats for boot pagesets
Initially, the per-cpu pagesets of each zone are set to the boot pagesets. The real pagesets are allocated later but before that happens, page allocations do occur and the numa stats for the boot pagesets get incremented since they are common to all zones at that point. The real pagesets, however, are allocated for the populated zones only. Unpopulated zones, like those associated with memory-less nodes, continue using the boot pageset and end up skewing the numa stats of the corresponding node. E.g. $ numactl -H available: 2 nodes (0-1) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 node 1 size: 8131 MB node 1 free: 6980 MB node distances: node 0 1 0: 10 40 1: 40 10 $ numastat node0 node1 numa_hit 108 56495 numa_miss 0 0 numa_foreign 0 0 interleave_hit 0 4537 local_node 108 31547 other_node 0 24948 Hence, the boot pageset stats need to be cleared after the real pagesets are allocated. After this point, the stats of the boot pagesets do not change as page allocations requested for a memory-less node will either fail (if __GFP_THISNODE is used) or get fulfilled by a preferred zone of a different node based on the fallback zonelist.

In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

mm/page_alloc: use ac->high_zoneidx for classzone_idx
Patch series "integrate classzone_idx and high_zoneidx", v5. This patchset is followup of the problem reported and discussed two years ago [1, 2]. The problem this patchset solves is related to the classzone_idx on the NUMA system. It causes a problem when the lowmem reserve protection exists for some zones on a node that do not exist on other nodes. This problem was reported two years ago, and, at that time, the solution got general agreements [2]. But it was not upstreamed. [1]: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180102063528.GG30397@yexl-desktop [2]: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1525408246-14768-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com This patch (of 2): Currently, we use classzone_idx to calculate lowmem reserve proetection for an allocation request. This classzone_idx causes a problem on NUMA systems when the lowmem reserve protection exists for some zones on a node that do not exist on other nodes. Before further explanation, I should first clarify how to compute the classzone_idx and the high_zoneidx. - ac->high_zoneidx is computed via the arcane gfp_zone(gfp_mask) and represents the index of the highest zone the allocation can use - classzone_idx was supposed to be the index of the highest zone on the local node that the allocation can use, that is actually available in the system Think about following example. Node 0 has 4 populated zone, DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE. Node 1 has 1 populated zone, NORMAL. Some zones, such as MOVABLE, doesn't exist on node 1 and this makes following difference. Assume that there is an allocation request whose gfp_zone(gfp_mask) is the zone, MOVABLE. Then, it's high_zoneidx is 3. If this allocation is initiated on node 0, it's classzone_idx is 3 since actually available/usable zone on local (node 0) is MOVABLE. If this allocation is initiated on node 1, it's classzone_idx is 2 since actually available/usable zone on local (node 1) is NORMAL. You can see that classzone_idx of the allocation request are different according to their starting node, even if their high_zoneidx is the same. Think more about these two allocation requests. If they are processed on local, there is no problem. However, if allocation is initiated on node 1 are processed on remote, in this example, at the NORMAL zone on node 0, due to memory shortage, problem occurs. Their different classzone_idx leads to different lowmem reserve and then different min watermark. See the following example. root@ubuntu:/sys/devices/system/memory# cat /proc/zoneinfo Node 0, zone DMA per-node stats ... pages free 3965 min 5 low 8 high 11 spanned 4095 present 3998 managed 3977 protection: (0, 2961, 4928, 5440) ...

Node 1, zone Movable pages free 0 min 0 low 0 high 0 spanned 262144 present 0 managed 0 protection: (0, 0, 0, 0) - static min watermark for the NORMAL zone on node 0 is 750. - lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 3 at the NORMAL on node 0 is 4096. - lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 2 at the NORMAL on node 0 is 0. So, overall min watermark is: allocation initiated on node 0 (classzone_idx 3): 750 + 4096 = 4846 allocation initiated on node 1 (classzone_idx 2): 750 + 0 = 750 Allocation initiated on node 1 will have some precedence than allocation initiated on node 0 because min watermark of the former allocation is lower than the other. So, allocation initiated on node 1 could succeed on node 0 when allocation initiated on node 0 could not, and, this could cause too many numa_miss allocation. Then, performance could be downgraded. Recently, there was a regression report about this problem on CMA patches since CMA memory are placed in ZONE_MOVABLE by those patches. I checked that problem is disappeared with this fix that uses high_zoneidx for classzone_idx. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180102063528.GG30397@yexl-desktop Using high_zoneidx for classzone_idx is more consistent way than previous approach because system's memory layout doesn't affect anything to it. With this patch, both classzone_idx on above example will be 3 so will have the same min watermark. allocation initiated on node 0: 750 + 4096 = 4846 allocation initiated on node 1: 750 + 4096 = 4846 One could wonder if there is a side effect that allocation initiated on node 1 will use higher bar when allocation is handled on local since classzone_idx could be higher than before. It will not happen because the zone without managed page doesn't contributes lowmem_reserve at all.

mm/vmstat.c: do not show lowmem reserve protection information of empty zone
Because the lowmem reserve protection of a zone can't tell anything if the zone is empty, except of adding one more line in /proc/zoneinfo. Let's remove it from that zone's showing.

mm/page_alloc.c: clear out zone->lowmem_reserve[] if the zone is empty
When requesting memory allocation from a specific zone is not satisfied, it will fall to lower zone to try allocating memory. In this case, lower zone's ->lowmem_reserve[] will help protect its own memory resource. The higher the relevant ->lowmem_reserve[] is, the harder the upper zone can get memory from this lower zone. However, this protection mechanism should be applied to populated zone, but not an empty zone. So filling ->lowmem_reserve[] for empty zone is not necessary, and may mislead people that it's valid data in that zone.
