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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2020-01-31mm: devmap: refactor 1-based refcounting for ZONE_DEVICE pagesJohn Hubbard
An upcoming patch changes and complicates the refcounting and especially the "put page" aspects of it. In order to keep everything clean, refactor the devmap page release routines: * Rename put_devmap_managed_page() to page_is_devmap_managed(), and limit the functionality to "read only": return a bool, with no side effects. * Add a new routine, put_devmap_managed_page(), to handle decrementing the refcount for ZONE_DEVICE pages. * Change callers (just release_pages() and put_page()) to check page_is_devmap_managed() before calling the new put_devmap_managed_page() routine. This is a performance point: put_page() is a hot path, so we need to avoid non- inline function calls where possible. * Rename __put_devmap_managed_page() to free_devmap_managed_page(), and limit the functionality to unconditionally freeing a devmap page. This is originally based on a separate patch by Ira Weiny, which applied to an early version of the put_user_page() experiments. Since then, Jérôme Glisse suggested the refactoring described above.

2019-12-01mm/swap.c: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() callsKonstantin Khlebnikov
This is a very slow operation. Right now POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED is the top user because it has to freeze page references when removing it from the cache. invalidate_bdev() calls it for the same reason. Both are triggered from userspace, so it's easy to generate a storm. mlock/mlockall no longer calls lru_add_drain_all - I've seen here serious slowdown on older kernels. There are some less obvious paths in memory migration/CMA/offlining which shouldn't call frequently. The worst case requires a non-trivial workload because lru_add_drain_all() skips cpus where vectors are empty. Something must constantly generate a flow of pages for each cpu. Also cpus must be busy to make scheduling per-cpu works slower. And the machine must be big enough (64+ cpus in our case). In our case that was a massive series of mlock calls in map-reduce while other tasks write logs (and generates flows of new pages in per-cpu vectors). Mlock calls were serialized by mutex and accumulated latency up to 10 seconds or more. The kernel does not call lru_add_drain_all on mlock paths since 4.15, but the same scenario could be triggered by fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) or any other remaining user. There is no reason to do the drain again if somebody else already drained all the per-cpu vectors while we waited for the lock. Piggyback on a drain starting and finishing while we wait for the lock: all pages pending at the time of our entry were drained from the vectors. Callers like POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED retry their operations once after draining per-cpu vectors when pages have unexpected references.

2019-09-25mm: introduce MADV_COLDMinchan Kim
Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

2019-07-02mm/swap: fix release_pages() when releasing devmap pagesIra Weiny
release_pages() is an optimized version of a loop around put_page(). Unfortunately for devmap pages the logic is not entirely correct in release_pages(). This is because device pages can be more than type MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC. There are in fact 4 types, private, public, FS DAX, and PCI P2PDMA. Some of these have specific needs to "put" the page while others do not. This logic to handle any special needs is contained in put_devmap_managed_page(). Therefore all devmap pages should be processed by this function where we can contain the correct logic for a page put. Handle all device type pages within release_pages() by calling put_devmap_managed_page() on all devmap pages. If put_devmap_managed_page() returns true the page has been put and we continue with the next page. A false return of put_devmap_managed_page() means the page did not require special processing and should fall to "normal" processing. This was found via code inspection while determining if release_pages() and the new put_user_pages() could be interchangeable.[1] [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190523172852.GA27175@iweiny-DESK2.sc.intel.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190605214922.17684-1-ira.weiny@intel.com Cc: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Reviewed-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>

Workaround this issue by using CONFIG_SMP=n specific lru_add_drain_all implementation. There is no real need to defer the implementation to the workqueue as the draining is going to happen on the local cpu. So alias lru_add_drain_all to lru_add_drain which does all the necessary work.

2018-05-22mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPSDan Williams
In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it. The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free / idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary. Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths can enable. For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support, care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure. However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

2018-02-21mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecsShakeel Butt
When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec (lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page. On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec of a different CPU. Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain. The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats will remain skewed for a long time. This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking their evictability. This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file pages will go to unevictable LRU. Also this makes the race with munlock easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock. However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention. TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock(). #0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn #1: clear_page_mlock SetPageLRU() if (!TestClearPageMlocked()) return smp_mb() // <--required // inside does PageLRU if (!PageMlocked()) if (isolate_lru_page()) move to evictable LRU putback_lru_page() else move to unevictable LRU In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be reordered before it. In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be reordered before SetPageLRU(). If that happens, '#0' can put a page in unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set PageLRU bit of that page. That page will be stranded on the unevictable LRU. There is one (good) side effect though. Without this patch, the pages allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment. This patch will correctly put such pages to unevictable LRU.

2018-01-31mm: drop hotplug lock from lru_add_drain_all()Michal Hocko
Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the mm core function like lru_add_drain_all just asks for problems and the recent lockdep splat [1] just proves this. While the usage in that particular case might be wrong we should avoid the locking as lru_add_drain_all() is used in many places. It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually. We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by commit a459eeb7b852 ("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks inside the allocator"). All we have to care about is to handle - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead calling lru_add_drain_cpu the first part is already handled because the worker calls lru_add_drain which disables preemption when calling lru_add_drain_cpu on the local cpu it is draining. The later is true because page_alloc_cpu_dead is called on the controlling CPU after the hotplugged CPU vanished completely.

2017-11-15mm: remove cold parameter from free_hot_cold_page*Mel Gorman
Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page should be more obvious. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

2017-11-15mm: only drain per-cpu pagevecs once per pagevec usageMel Gorman
When a pagevec is initialised on the stack, it is generally used multiple times over a range of pages, looking up entries and then releasing them. On each pagevec_release, the per-cpu deferred LRU pagevecs are drained on the grounds the page being released may be on those queues and the pages may be cache hot. In many cases only the first drain is necessary as it's unlikely that the range of pages being walked is racing against LRU addition. Even if there is such a race, the impact is marginal where as constantly redraining the lru pagevecs costs. This patch ensures that pagevec is only drained once in a given lifecycle without increasing the cache footprint of the pagevec structure. Only sparsetruncate tiny is shown here as large files have many exceptional entries and calls pagecache_release less frequently. sparsetruncate (tiny) 4.14.0-rc4 4.14.0-rc4 batchshadow-v1r1 onedrain-v1r1 Min Time 141.00 ( 0.00%) 141.00 ( 0.00%) 1st-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 2nd-qrtle Time 142.00 ( 0.00%) 142.00 ( 0.00%) 3rd-qrtle Time 143.00 ( 0.00%) 143.00 ( 0.00%) Max-90% Time 144.00 ( 0.00%) 144.00 ( 0.00%) Max-95% Time 146.00 ( 0.00%) 145.00 ( 0.68%) Max-99% Time 198.00 ( 0.00%) 194.00 ( 2.02%) Max Time 254.00 ( 0.00%) 208.00 ( 18.11%) Amean Time 145.12 ( 0.00%) 144.30 ( 0.56%) Stddev Time 12.74 ( 0.00%) 9.62 ( 24.49%) Coeff Time 8.78 ( 0.00%) 6.67 ( 24.06%) Best99%Amean Time 144.29 ( 0.00%) 143.82 ( 0.32%) Best95%Amean Time 142.68 ( 0.00%) 142.31 ( 0.26%) Best90%Amean Time 142.52 ( 0.00%) 142.19 ( 0.24%) Best75%Amean Time 142.26 ( 0.00%) 141.98 ( 0.20%) Best50%Amean Time 141.90 ( 0.00%) 141.71 ( 0.13%) Best25%Amean Time 141.80 ( 0.00%) 141.43 ( 0.26%) The impact on bonnie is marginal and within the noise because a significant percentage of the file being truncated has been reclaimed and consists of shadow entries which reduce the hotness of the pagevec_release path.
