The patch limits the first_num to actual range of possible buddy indexes.
and that is more reasonable and obvious without functional change.

Logic on whether we can reap pages from the VMA should match what we
have in madvise_dontneed(). In particular, we should skip, VM_PFNMAP
VMAs, but we don't now.
Let's just extract condition on which we can shoot down pagesi from a
VMA with MADV_DONTNEED into separate function and use it in both places.

The patch "mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc print nodemask" implicitly sets
the allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no
effective mempolicy. cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when
cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by warn_alloc(), so setting
the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents
debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page
allocator.
This provides better debugging output since
cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.

Now that __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't override decisions to skip the oom killer
we are left with requests which require to loop inside the allocator
without invoking the oom killer (e.g. GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL used by fs
code) and so they might, in very unlikely situations, loop for ever -
e.g. other parallel request could starve them.
This patch tries to limit the likelihood of such a lockup by giving
these __GFP_NOFAIL requests a chance to move on by consuming a small
part of memory reserves. We are using ALLOC_HARDER which should be
enough to prevent from the starvation by regular allocation requests,
yet it shouldn't consume enough from the reserves to disrupt high
priority requests (ALLOC_HIGH).
While we are at it, let's introduce a helper __alloc_pages_cpuset_fallback
which enforces the cpusets but allows to fallback to ignore them if the
first attempt fails. __GFP_NOFAIL requests can be considered important
enough to allow cpuset runaway in order for the system to move on. It
is highly unlikely that any of these will be GFP_USER anyway.

__alloc_pages_may_oom makes sure to skip the OOM killer depending on the
allocation request. This includes lowmem requests, costly high order
requests and others. For a long time __GFP_NOFAIL acted as an override
for all those rules. This is not documented and it can be quite
surprising as well. E.g. GFP_NOFS requests are not invoking the OOM
killer but GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL does so if we try to convert some of
the existing open coded loops around allocator to nofail request (and we
have done that in the past) then such a change would have a non trivial
side effect which is far from obvious. Note that the primary motivation
for skipping the OOM killer is to prevent from pre-mature invocation.
The exception has been added by commit 82553a937f ("oom: invoke oom
killer for __GFP_NOFAIL"). The changelog points out that the oom killer
has to be invoked otherwise the request would be looping for ever. But
this argument is rather weak because the OOM killer doesn't really
guarantee a forward progress for those exceptional cases:
- it will hardly help to form costly order which in turn can result in
the system panic because of no oom killable task in the end - I believe
we certainly do not want to put the system down just because there is a
nasty driver asking for order-9 page with GFP_NOFAIL not realizing all
the consequences. It is much better this request would loop for ever
than the massive system disruption
- lowmem is also highly unlikely to be freed during OOM killer
- GFP_NOFS request could trigger while there is still a lot of memory
pinned by filesystems.
This patch simply removes the __GFP_NOFAIL special case in order to have a
more clear semantic without surprising side effects.

Tetsuo Handa has pointed out that commit 0a0337e0d1 ("mm, oom: rework
oom detection") has subtly changed semantic for costly high order
requests with __GFP_NOFAIL and withtout __GFP_REPEAT and those can fail
right now. My code inspection didn't reveal any such users in the tree
but it is true that this might lead to unexpected allocation failures
and subsequent OOPs.
__alloc_pages_slowpath wrt. GFP_NOFAIL is hard to follow currently.
There are few special cases but we are lacking a catch all place to be
sure we will not miss any case where the non failing allocation might
fail. This patch reorganizes the code a bit and puts all those special
cases under nopage label which is the generic go-to-fail path. Non
failing allocations are retried or those that cannot retry like
non-sleeping allocation go to the failure point directly. This should
make the code flow much easier to follow and make it less error prone
for future changes.
While we are there we have to move the stall check up to catch
potentially looping non-failing allocations.

show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant
to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is
done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the
mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as
expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating
task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to
request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see
new_node_page).
Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the
show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL
nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

Patch series "show_mem updates", v2.
This is a mixture of one bug fix (patch 1), an enhancement (patch 2) and
cleanups (the rest of the series). First two patches should be really
straightforward. Patch 3 removes some arch specific show_mem
implementations because I think they are quite outdated and do not
really serve any useful purpose anymore. I think we should really
strive to have a consistent show_mem output regardless of the
architecture. If some architecture is really special and wants to dump
something additional we should do that via an arch specific hook.
The last patch adds nodemask parameter so that we do not rely on the
hardcoded mems_allowed of the current task when doing the node
filtering. I consider this more a cleanup than a fix because basically
all users use a nodemask which is a subset of mems_allowed. There is
only one call path in the memory hotplug which doesn't comply with this
but that is hardly something to worry about.
This patch (of 4):
Commit 599d0c954f ("mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node") has added per
numa node statistics to show_mem but it forgot to add
skip_free_areas_node to filter out nodes which are outside of the
allocating task numa policy. Add this check to not pollute the output
with the pointless information.

get_scan_count() considers the whole node LRU size when
- doing SCAN_FILE due to many page cache inactive pages
- calculating the number of pages to scan
In both cases this might lead to unexpected behavior especially on 32b
systems where we can expect lowmem memory pressure very often.
A large highmem zone can easily distort SCAN_FILE heuristic because
there might be only few file pages from the eligible zones on the node
lru and we would still enforce file lru scanning which can lead to
trashing while we could still scan anonymous pages.
The later use of lruvec_lru_size can be problematic as well. Especially
when there are not many pages from the eligible zones. We would have to
skip over many pages to find anything to reclaim but shrink_node_memcg
would only reduce the remaining number to scan by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX at
maximum. Therefore we can end up going over a large LRU many times
without actually having chance to reclaim much if anything at all. The
closer we are out of memory on lowmem zone the worse the problem will
be.
Fix this by filtering out all the ineligible zones when calculating the
lru size for both paths and consider only sc->reclaim_idx zones.
The patch would need to be tweaked a bit to apply to 4.10 and older but
I will do that as soon as it hits the Linus tree in the next merge
window.

PGDEACTIVATE represents the number of pages moved from the active list
to the inactive list. At least this sounds like the original motivation
of the counter. move_active_pages_to_lru, however, counts pages which
got freed in the mean time as deactivated as well. This is a very rare
event and counting them as deactivation in itself is not harmful but it
makes the code more convoluted than necessary - we have to count both
all pages and those which are freed which is a bit confusing.
After this patch the PGDEACTIVATE should have a slightly more clear
semantic and only count those pages which are moved from the active to
the inactive list which is a plus.

There is no thp defrag option that currently allows MADV_HUGEPAGE
regions to do direct compaction and reclaim while all other thp
allocations simply trigger kswapd and kcompactd in the background and
fail immediately.
The "defer" setting simply triggers background reclaim and compaction
for all regions, regardless of MADV_HUGEPAGE, which makes it unusable
for our userspace where MADV_HUGEPAGE is being used to indicate the
application is willing to wait for work for thp memory to be available.
The "madvise" setting will do direct compaction and reclaim for these
MADV_HUGEPAGE regions, but does not trigger kswapd and kcompactd in the
background for anybody else.
For reasonable usage, there needs to be a mesh between the two options.
This patch introduces a fifth mode, "defer+madvise", that will do direct
reclaim and compaction for MADV_HUGEPAGE regions and trigger background
reclaim and compaction for everybody else so that hugepages may be
available in the near future.
A proposal to allow direct reclaim and compaction for MADV_HUGEPAGE
regions as part of the "defer" mode, making it a very powerful setting
and avoids breaking userspace, was offered:
http://marc.info/?t=148236612700003
This additional mode is a compromise.
A second proposal to allow both "defer" and "madvise" to be selected at
the same time was also offered:
http://marc.info/?t=148357345300001.
This is possible, but there was a concern that it might break existing
userspaces the parse the output of the defrag mode, so the fifth option
was introduced instead.
This patch also cleans up the helper function for storing to "enabled"
and "defrag" since the former supports three modes while the latter
supports five and triple_flag_store() was getting unnecessarily messy.

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.

Add new functions that free unused swap slots in batches without the
need to reacquire swap info lock. This improves scalability and reduce
lock contention.

Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing
contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every
page being swapped.
This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to
request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock
contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate
more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each
other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

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.

This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was 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 created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

Patch series "mm/swap: Regular page swap optimizations", v5.
Times have changed. Coming generation of Solid state Block device
latencies are getting down to sub 100 usec, which is within an order of
magnitude of DRAM, and their performance is orders of magnitude higher
than the single- spindle rotational media we've swapped to historically.
This could benefit many usage scenearios. For example cloud providers
who overcommit their memory (as VM don't use all the memory
provisioned). Having a fast swap will allow them to be more aggressive
in memory overcommit and fit more VMs to a platform.
In our testing [see footnote], the median latency that the kernel adds
to a page fault is 15 usec, which comes quite close to the amount that
will be contributed by the underlying I/O devices.
The software latency comes mostly from contentions on the locks
protecting the radix tree of the swap cache and also the locks
protecting the individual swap devices. The lock contentions already
consumed 35% of cpu cycles in our test. In the very near future,
software latency will become the bottleneck to swap performnace as block
device I/O latency gets within the shouting distance of DRAM speed.
This patch set, reduced the median page fault latency from 15 usec to 4
usec (375% reduction) for DRAM based pmem block device.
This patch (of 9):
swap_info_get() is used not only in swap free code path but also in
page_swapcount(), etc. So the original kernel message in swap_info_get()
is not correct now. Fix it via replacing "swap_free" to "swap_info_get"
in the message.

On 32-bit powerpc the ELF PLT sections of binaries (built with
--bss-plt, or with a toolchain which defaults to it) look like this:
[17] .sbss NOBITS 0002aff8 01aff8 000014 00 WA 0 0 4
[18] .plt NOBITS 0002b00c 01aff8 000084 00 WAX 0 0 4
[19] .bss NOBITS 0002b090 01aff8 0000a4 00 WA 0 0 4
Which results in an ELF load header:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
LOAD 0x019c70 0x00029c70 0x00029c70 0x01388 0x014c4 RWE 0x10000
This is all correct, the load region containing the PLT is marked as
executable. Note that the PLT starts at 0002b00c but the file mapping
ends at 0002aff8, so the PLT falls in the 0 fill section described by
the load header, and after a page boundary.
Unfortunately the generic ELF loader ignores the X bit in the load
headers when it creates the 0 filled non-file backed mappings. It
assumes all of these mappings are RW BSS sections, which is not the case
for PPC.
gcc/ld has an option (--secure-plt) to not do this, this is said to
incur a small performance penalty.
Currently, to support 32-bit binaries with PLT in BSS kernel maps
*entire brk area* with executable rights for all binaries, even
--secure-plt ones.
Stop doing that.
Teach the ELF loader to check the X bit in the relevant load header and
create 0 filled anonymous mappings that are executable if the load
header requests that.
Test program showing the difference in /proc/$PID/maps:
int main() {
char buf[16*1024];
char *p = malloc(123); /* make "[heap]" mapping appear */
int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY);
int len = read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
write(1, buf, len);
printf("%p\n", p);
return 0;
}

To identify that pages of page table are allocated from bootmem
allocator, magic number sets to page->lru.next.
But page->lru list is initialized in reserve_bootmem_region(). So when
calling free_pagetable(), the function cannot find the magic number of
pages. And free_pagetable() frees the pages by free_reserved_page() not
put_page_bootmem().
But if the pages are allocated from bootmem allocator and used as page
table, the pages have private flag. So before freeing the pages, we
should clear the private flag by put_page_bootmem().
Before applying the commit 7bfec6f47b ("mm, page_alloc: check multiple
page fields with a single branch"), we could find the following visible
issue:

And the issue still silently occurs.
Until freeing the pages of page table allocated from bootmem allocator,
the page->freelist is never used. So the patch sets magic number to
page->freelist instead of page->lru.next.

the new range is not totally covered by any of the current
memblock.reserved range. If the memblock.reserved is full and can't
resize, memblock_reserve() would fail.
This doesn't happen in real world now, I observed this during code
review. While theoretically, it has the chance to happen. And if it
happens, others would think this range of memory is still available and
may corrupt the memory.
This patch checks the return value and goto "done" after it succeeds.

memblock_is_region_memory() invoke memblock_search() to see whether the
base address is in the memory region. If it fails, idx would be -1.
Then, it returns 0.
If the memblock_search() returns a valid index, it means the base
address is guaranteed to be in the range memblock.memory.regions[idx].
Because of this, it is not necessary to check the base again.
This patch removes the check on "base".

Without a memory barrier, the following race can occur with a high-order
allocation:
wakeup_kcompactd(order == 1) kcompactd()
[L] waitqueue_active(kcompactd_wait)
[S] prepare_to_wait_event(kcompactd_wait)
[L] (kcompactd_max_order == 0)
[S] kcompactd_max_order = order; schedule()
Where the waitqueue_active() check is speculatively re-ordered to before
setting the actual condition (max_order), not seeing the threads that's
going to block; making us miss a wakeup. There are a couple of options
to fix this, including calling wq_has_sleepers() which adds a full
barrier, or unconditionally doing the wake_up_interruptible() and
serialize on the q->lock. However, to make use of the control
dependency, we just need to add L->L guarantees.
While this bug is theoretical, there have been other offenders of the
lockless waitqueue_active() in the past -- this is also documented in
the call itself.

When using a sparse memory model memmap_init_zone() when invoked with
the MEMMAP_EARLY context will skip over pages which aren't valid - ie.
which aren't in a populated region of the sparse memory map. However if
the memory map is extremely sparse then it can spend a long time
linearly checking each PFN in a large non-populated region of the memory
map & skipping it in turn.
When CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, we have sufficient
information to quickly discover the next valid PFN given an invalid one
by searching through the list of memory regions & skipping forwards to
the first PFN covered by the memory region to the right of the
non-populated region. Implement this in order to speed up
memmap_init_zone() for systems with extremely sparse memory maps.
James said "I have tested this patch on a virtual model of a Samurai CPU
with a sparse memory map. The kernel boot time drops from 109 to
62 seconds. "

A "compact_daemon_wake" vmstat exists that represents the number of
times kcompactd has woken up. This doesn't represent how much work it
actually did, though.
It's useful to understand how much compaction work is being done by
kcompactd versus other methods such as direct compaction and explicitly
triggered per-node (or system) compaction.
This adds two new vmstats: "compact_daemon_migrate_scanned" and
"compact_daemon_free_scanned" to represent the number of pages kcompactd
has scanned as part of its migration scanner and freeing scanner,
respectively.
These values are still accounted for in the general
"compact_migrate_scanned" and "compact_free_scanned" for compatibility.
It could be argued that explicitly triggered compaction could also be
tracked separately, and that could be added if others find it useful.

Commit 682a3385e7 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the
zonelist iterator") changed how next_zones_zonelist() is called, by
adding a static inline function to do the fast path. This function
adds:
if (likely(!nodes && zonelist_zone_idx(z) <= highest_zoneidx))
return z;
return __next_zones_zonelist(z, highest_zoneidx, nodes);
Where __next_zones_zonelist() is only called when nodes is not NULL or
zonelist_zone_idx(z) is less than highest_zoneidx.
The original next_zone_zonelist() was converted to __next_zones_zonelist()
but it still maintained:
if (likely(nodes == NULL))
Which is now actually a very unlikely, as it is only called with nodes
equal to NULL when zonelist_zone_idx(z) is greater than highest_zoneidx.
Before this commit, this if had this statistic:
correct incorrect % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
837895 446078 34 next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63
After this commit, it has:
correct incorrect % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
10 173840 99 __next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63
Thus, the if statement is now much more unlikely than it ever was as a
likely.

mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive will currently report the number of
scanned and reclaimed pages. This doesn't give us an idea how the
reclaim went except for the overall effectiveness though. Export and
show other counters which will tell us why we couldn't reclaim some
pages.
- nr_dirty, nr_writeback, nr_congested and nr_immediate tells
us how many pages are blocked due to IO
- nr_activate tells us how many pages were moved to the active
list
- nr_ref_keep reports how many pages are kept on the LRU due
to references (mostly for the file pages which are about to
go for another round through the inactive list)
- nr_unmap_fail - how many pages failed to unmap
All these are rather low level so they might change in future but the
tracepoint is already implementation specific so no tools should be
depending on its stability.

shrink_page_list returns quite some counters back to its caller.
Extract the existing 5 into struct reclaim_stat because this makes the
code easier to follow and also allows further counters to be returned.
While we are at it, make all of them unsigned rather than unsigned long
as we do not really need full 64b for them (we never scan more than
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages at once). This should reduce some stack space.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

mm_vmscan_lru_isolate currently prints only whether the LRU we isolate
from is file or anonymous but we do not know which LRU this is.
It is useful to know whether the list is active or inactive, since we
are using the same function to isolate pages from both of them and it's
hard to distinguish otherwise.

mm_vmscan_lru_isolate shows the number of requested, scanned and taken
pages. This is mostly OK but on 32b systems the number of scanned pages
is quite misleading because it includes both the scanned and skipped
pages. Moreover the skipped part is scaled based on the number of taken
pages. Let's report the exact numbers without any additional logic and
add the number of skipped pages.
This should make the reported data much more easier to interpret.

Our reclaim process has several tracepoints to tell us more about how
things are progressing. We are, however, missing a tracepoint to track
active list aging. Introduce mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_active which reports
the number of
- nr_taken is number of isolated pages from the active list
- nr_referenced pages which tells us that we are hitting referenced
pages which are deactivated. If this is a large part of the
reported nr_deactivated pages then we might be hitting into
the active list too early because they might be still part of
the working set. This might help to debug performance issues.
- nr_active pages which tells us how many pages are kept on the
active list - mostly exec file backed pages. A high number can
indicate that we might be trashing on executables.

pmd_trans_unstable does an atomic read on the pmd so it doesn't require
the pmd_lock for the same check.
This also removes the special assumption that the mmap_sem is hold for
writing if prot_numa is not set. userfaultfd will hold the mmap_sem
only for reading in change_pte_range like prot_numa, but it will not set
prot_numa.
This is always a valid micro-optimization regardless of userfaultfd.
