This thin layer of abstraction over the maple tree state is for iterating
over VMAs. You can go forwards, go backwards or ask where the iterator
is. Rename the existing vma_next() to __vma_next() -- it will be removed
by the end of this series.

Start tracking the VMAs with the new maple tree structure in parallel with
the rb_tree. Add debug and trace events for maple tree operations and
duplicate the rb_tree that is created on forks into the maple tree.
The maple tree is added to the mm_struct including the mm_init struct,
added support in required mm/mmap functions, added tracking in kernel/fork
for process forking, and used to find the unmapped_area and checked
against what the rbtree finds.
This also moves the mmap_lock() in exit_mmap() since the oom reaper call
does walk the VMAs. Otherwise lockdep will be unhappy if oom happens.
When splitting a vma fails due to allocations of the maple tree nodes,
the error path in __split_vma() calls new->vm_ops->close(new). The page
accounting for hugetlb is actually in the close() operation, so it
accounts for the removal of 1/2 of the VMA which was not adjusted. This
results in a negative exit value. To avoid the negative charge, set
vm_start = vm_end and vm_pgoff = 0.
There is also a potential accounting issue in special mappings from
insert_vm_struct() failing to allocate, so reverse the charge there in
the failure scenario.

This is a test suite that uses the radix test infrastructure. It has been
split into its own commit to allow for easier review of the maple tree
code.
The testing includes:
- Allocation of nodes
- gfp flag allocation checks
- Expansion & contraction of tree
- preallocation checks
- tree navigation by next/prev
- tree navigation by iterators (mas_for_each, etc)
- Number of nodes for a given number of entries
- Generic tree construction tests
- Addition and removal of entries in forward and reverse numerical indexes
- gap searching both forward and reverse
- Combining gaps by overwriting entries in different ways
- splitting right-most node
- splitting left-most node
- overwriting multiple slots
- overwriting across different levels of the tree
- overwriting the middle of a tree
- causing a 3-way split up to the root by overwriting the last slot and
first slot of different nodes and spanning different levels
- RCU stress testing of the tree with threads
- Duplication of the tree by entry count
- Tests which were generated by fuzzers have been added.
- A large number of tests which come from recording crashing in a VM and
reconstructing the tree (see check_erase2_set())

Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree"
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.
Davidlor said
: Yes I like the maple tree, and at this stage I don't think we can ask for

: much worth it considering performance does not take a hit. This was very

A similar work has been discovered in the academic press
https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/rcuvm:asplos12.pdf
Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the
hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough
outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find
that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the
right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable
for us.
This patch (of 70):

There is additional BUG_ON() calls added within the tree, most of which
are in debug code. These will be replaced with a WARN_ON() call in the
future. There is also additional BUG_ON() calls within the code which
will also be reduced in number at a later date. These exist to catch
things such as out-of-range accesses which would crash anyways.

Currently, a higher tier node can only be demoted to selected nodes on the
next lower tier as defined by the demotion path. This strict demotion
order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to
allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a
fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space). This demotion
order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when
all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can
fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order
doesn't allow that currently.
This patch adds support to get all the allowed demotion targets for a
memory tier. demote_page_list() function is now modified to utilize this
allowed node mask as the fallback allocation mask.

This patch switch the demotion target building logic to use memory tiers
instead of NUMA distance. All N_MEMORY NUMA nodes will be placed in the
default memory tier and additional memory tiers will be added by drivers
like dax kmem.
This patch builds the demotion target for a NUMA node by looking at all
memory tiers below the tier to which the NUMA node belongs. The closest
node in the immediately following memory tier is used as a demotion
target.
Since we are now only building demotion target for N_MEMORY NUMA nodes the
CPU hotplug calls are removed in this patch.

By default, all nodes are assigned to the default memory tier which is the
memory tier designated for nodes with DRAM
Set dax kmem device node's tier to slower memory tier by assigning
abstract distance to MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE. Low-level drivers
like papr_scm or ACPI NFIT can initialize memory device type to a more
accurate value based on device tree details or HMAT. If the kernel
doesn't find the memory type initialized, a default slower memory type is
assigned by the kmem driver.

Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15.
The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on
a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA
node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node.
Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated
(promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance.
In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion
path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel
initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed.
The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier,
and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node
demotion targets based on the distances between nodes.
This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for
several important use cases:
* The current tier initialization code always initializes each
memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node
may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed
memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a
higher tier.
* The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier.
But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only
HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are
better to be placed into the next lower tier.
* Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the
top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory
node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier
hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed.
This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to
support tier-based memory accounting.
* A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance
on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other
node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in
all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket
demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when
the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the
feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node
demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also
inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes
in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to
any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow
that.
This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the
control of device driver.
Memory Tier Initialization
==========================
Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device
is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its
abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract
distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific
performance range into a memory tier.
By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with
abstract distance 512.
A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For
example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas
GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier.
The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a
memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device
drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the
firmware.
Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy.
This patch (of 10):
In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion
path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel
initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed.
The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier,
and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion
targets based on the distances between nodes.
This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for
several important use cases,
The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only
NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high
performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a
virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier.
The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But
on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping
these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are
better to be placed into the next lower tier.
With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with
shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path,
not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does
not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow
cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a
fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion
order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when
all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can
fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order
doesn't allow that.
This patch series address the above by defining memory tiers explicitly.
Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device
is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its
abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract
distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific
performance range into a memory tier.
This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM
abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default
DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511.
Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers.
Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance
higher than the default DRAM level.

Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen for working set estimation and proactive
reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling
(bin packing) in data centers [1][2].
Compared with the page table-based approach and the PFN-based
approach, this lruvec-based approach has the following advantages:
1. It offers better choices because it is aware of memcgs, NUMA nodes,
shared mappings and unmapped page cache.
2. It is more scalable because it is O(nr_hot_pages), whereas the
PFN-based approach is O(nr_total_pages).
Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full for debugging.

Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention, as
requested by many desktop users [1].
When set to value N, it prevents the working set of N milliseconds from
getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered if this working set cannot
be kept in memory. Based on the average human detectable lag (~100ms),
N=1000 usually eliminates intolerable lags due to thrashing. Larger
values like N=3000 make lags less noticeable at the risk of premature OOM
kills.
Compared with the size-based approach [2], this time-based approach
has the following advantages:
1. It is easier to configure because it is agnostic to applications
and memory sizes.
2. It is more reliable because it is directly wired to the OOM killer.

Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that
can be disabled include:
0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core
0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns
true
0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y
[yYnN]: apply to all the components above
E.g.,
echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0007
echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0005
NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy memory
pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser concern,
compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion. So far the
only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on Android, due
to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for merely a few
hundred MBs. The SPF and the Maple Tree also have provided their own
assessments [2][3]. However, if walking page tables does worsen the
mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to disable it. In this
case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor performance degradation, as
shown previously.
Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be disabled,
since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other than Intel and
AMD.

When multiple memcgs are available, it is possible to use generations as a
frame of reference to make better choices and improve overall performance
under global memory pressure. This patch adds a basic optimization to
select memcgs that can drop single-use unmapped clean pages first. Doing
so reduces the chance of going into the aging path or swapping, which can
be costly.
A typical example that benefits from this optimization is a server running
mixed types of workloads, e.g., heavy anon workload in one memcg and heavy
buffered I/O workload in the other.
Though this optimization can be applied to both kswapd and direct reclaim,
it is only added to kswapd to keep the patchset manageable. Later
improvements may cover the direct reclaim path.
While ensuring certain fairness to all eligible memcgs, proportional scans
of individual memcgs also require proper backoff to avoid overshooting
their aggregate reclaim target by too much. Otherwise it can cause high
direct reclaim latency. The conditions for backoff are:
1. At low priorities, for direct reclaim, if aging fairness or direct
reclaim latency is at risk, i.e., aging one memcg multiple times or
swapping after the target is met.
2. At high priorities, for global reclaim, if per-zone free pages are
above respective watermarks.

To further exploit spatial locality, the aging prefers to walk page tables
to search for young PTEs and promote hot pages. A kill switch will be
added in the next patch to disable this behavior. When disabled, the
aging relies on the rmap only.
NB: this behavior has nothing similar with the page table scanning in the
2.4 kernel [1], which searches page tables for old PTEs, adds cold pages
to swapcache and unmaps them.
To avoid confusion, the term "iteration" specifically means the traversal
of an entire mm_struct list; the term "walk" will be applied to page
tables and the rmap, as usual.
An mm_struct list is maintained for each memcg, and an mm_struct follows
its owner task to the new memcg when this task is migrated. Given an
lruvec, the aging iterates lruvec_memcg()->mm_list and calls
walk_page_range() with each mm_struct on this list to promote hot pages
before it increments max_seq.
When multiple page table walkers iterate the same list, each of them gets
a unique mm_struct; therefore they can run concurrently. Page table
walkers ignore any misplaced pages, e.g., if an mm_struct was migrated,
pages it left in the previous memcg will not be promoted when its current
memcg is under reclaim. Similarly, page table walkers will not promote
pages from nodes other than the one under reclaim.
This patch uses the following optimizations when walking page tables:
1. It tracks the usage of mm_struct's between context switches so that
page table walkers can skip processes that have been sleeping since
the last iteration.
2. It uses generational Bloom filters to record populated branches so
that page table walkers can reduce their search space based on the
query results, e.g., to skip page tables containing mostly holes or
misplaced pages.
3. It takes advantage of the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y.
4. It does not zigzag between a PGD table and the same PMD table
spanning multiple VMAs. IOW, it finishes all the VMAs within the
range of the same PMD table before it returns to a PGD table. This
improves the cache performance for workloads that have large
numbers of tiny VMAs [2], especially when CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=5.

Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and
clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs
(PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads
mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU
cost in the reclaim path.
This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap.
When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new
function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent
PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied
to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and
"deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes
hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through
page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it
increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU
list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and
lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of
max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The
aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in
hot pages.
The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty.
A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over
anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are
available from the same generation.
The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors
takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into
multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in
tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only
bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors
refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers
(N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier
contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best
choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a
page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next
generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This
approach has the following advantages:
1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by
inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the
eviction path.
2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids
overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first
tier, since N=0.)
3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than
twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O
workloads.

Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec.
The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both
anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest
generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon
and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap
constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing.
Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits
in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated
generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window
technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most
MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1,
MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it
stores 0.
There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which
produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old
generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim".
Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working
set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used
to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2].
To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the
multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will
be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based
on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels:
one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The
protection of the former channel is by design stronger because:
1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former
channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit.
2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB
flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit.
3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because
applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page
faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications
commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering
threads.
There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the
other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is
assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is
present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless
outlying refaults have been observed [3][4].
The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e.,
LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in
this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy.
A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs
to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to
the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the
initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used
since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two
generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

Some architectures support the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, e.g.,
x86 sets the accessed bit in a non-leaf PMD entry when using it as part of
linear address translation [1]. Page table walkers that clear the
accessed bit may use this capability to reduce their search space.
Note that:
1. Although an inline function is preferable, this capability is added
as a configuration option for consistency with the existing macros.
2. Due to the little interest in other varieties, this capability was
only tested on Intel and AMD CPUs.
Thanks to the following developers for their efforts [2][3].

Patch series "Multi-Gen LRU Framework", v14.
What's new
==========
1. OpenWrt, in addition to Android, Arch Linux Zen, Armbian, ChromeOS,
Liquorix, post-factum and XanMod, is now shipping MGLRU on 5.15.
2. Fixed long-tailed direct reclaim latency seen on high-memory (TBs)
machines. The old direct reclaim backoff, which tries to enforce a
minimum fairness among all eligible memcgs, over-swapped by about
(total_mem>>DEF_PRIORITY)-nr_to_reclaim. The new backoff, which
pulls the plug on swapping once the target is met, trades some
fairness for curtailed latency:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220918080010.2920238-10-yuzhao@google.com/
3. Fixed minior build warnings and conflicts. More comments and nits.
TLDR
====
The current page reclaim is too expensive in terms of CPU usage and it
often makes poor choices about what to evict. This patchset offers an
alternative solution that is performant, versatile and
straightforward.

Benchmark results
=================
Independent lab results
-----------------------
Based on the popularity of searches [01] and the memory usage in
Google's public cloud, the most popular open-source memory-hungry
applications, in alphabetical order, are:
Apache Cassandra Memcached
Apache Hadoop MongoDB
Apache Spark PostgreSQL
MariaDB (MySQL) Redis
An independent lab evaluated MGLRU with the most widely used benchmark
suites for the above applications. They posted 960 data points along
with kernel metrics and perf profiles collected over more than 500
hours of total benchmark time. Their final reports show that, with 95%
confidence intervals (CIs), the above applications all performed
significantly better for at least part of their benchmark matrices.
On 5.14:
1. Apache Spark [02] took 95% CIs [9.28, 11.19]% and [12.20, 14.93]%
less wall time to sort three billion random integers, respectively,
under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when
overcommitting memory. There were no statistically significant
changes in wall time for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
2. MariaDB [03] achieved 95% CIs [5.24, 10.71]% and [20.22, 25.97]%
more transactions per minute (TPM), respectively, under the medium-
and the high-concurrency conditions, when overcommitting memory.
There were no statistically significant changes in TPM for the rest
of the benchmark matrix.
3. Memcached [04] achieved 95% CIs [23.54, 32.25]%, [20.76, 41.61]%
and [21.59, 30.02]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively,
for sequential access, random access and Gaussian (distribution)
access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [13.85, 15.97]% and
[23.94, 29.92]% more OPS, respectively, for random access and
Gaussian access, when THP=never. There were no statistically
significant changes in OPS for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
4. MongoDB [05] achieved 95% CIs [2.23, 3.44]%, [6.97, 9.73]% and
[2.16, 3.55]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively, for
exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian
(distribution) access, when underutilizing memory; 95% CIs
[8.83, 10.03]%, [21.12, 23.14]% and [5.53, 6.46]% more OPS,
respectively, for exponential access, random access and Zipfian
access, when overcommitting memory.
On 5.15:
5. Apache Cassandra [06] achieved 95% CIs [1.06, 4.10]%, [1.94, 5.43]%
and [4.11, 7.50]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively,
for exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian
(distribution) access, when swap was off; 95% CIs [0.50, 2.60]%,
[6.51, 8.77]% and [3.29, 6.75]% more OPS, respectively, for
exponential access, random access and Zipfian access, when swap was
on.
6. Apache Hadoop [07] took 95% CIs [5.31, 9.69]% and [2.02, 7.86]%
less average wall time to finish twelve parallel TeraSort jobs,
respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency
conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically
significant changes in average wall time for the rest of the
benchmark matrix.
7. PostgreSQL [08] achieved 95% CI [1.75, 6.42]% more transactions per
minute (TPM) under the high-concurrency condition, when swap was
off; 95% CIs [12.82, 18.69]% and [22.70, 46.86]% more TPM,
respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency
conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically
significant changes in TPM for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
8. Redis [09] achieved 95% CIs [0.58, 5.94]%, [6.55, 14.58]% and
[11.47, 19.36]% more total operations per second (OPS),
respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian
(distribution) access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [1.27, 3.54]%,
[10.11, 14.81]% and [8.75, 13.64]% more total OPS, respectively,
for sequential access, random access and Gaussian access, when
THP=never.

Read-world applications
=======================
Third-party testimonials
------------------------
Konstantin reported [11]:
I have Archlinux with 8G RAM + zswap + swap. While developing, I
have lots of apps opened such as multiple LSP-servers for different
langs, chats, two browsers, etc... Usually, my system gets quickly
to a point of SWAP-storms, where I have to kill LSP-servers,
restart browsers to free memory, etc, otherwise the system lags
heavily and is barely usable.
1.5 day ago I migrated from 5.11.15 kernel to 5.12 + the LRU
patchset, and I started up by opening lots of apps to create memory
pressure, and worked for a day like this. Till now I had not a
single SWAP-storm, and mind you I got 3.4G in SWAP. I was never
getting to the point of 3G in SWAP before without a single
SWAP-storm.
Vaibhav from IBM reported [12]:
In a synthetic MongoDB Benchmark, seeing an average of ~19%
throughput improvement on POWER10(Radix MMU + 64K Page Size) with
MGLRU patches on top of 5.16 kernel for MongoDB + YCSB across
three different request distributions, namely, Exponential, Uniform
and Zipfan.
Shuang from U of Rochester reported [13]:
With the MGLRU, fio achieved 95% CIs [38.95, 40.26]%, [4.12, 6.64]%
and [9.26, 10.36]% higher throughput, respectively, for random
access, Zipfian (distribution) access and Gaussian (distribution)
access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 1; 95% CIs
[42.32, 49.15]%, [9.44, 9.89]% and [20.99, 22.86]% higher
throughput, respectively, for random access, Zipfian access and
Gaussian access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 2.
Daniel from Michigan Tech reported [14]:
With Memcached allocating ~100GB of byte-addressable Optante,
performance improvement in terms of throughput (measured as queries
per second) was about 10% for a series of workloads.
Large-scale deployments
-----------------------
We've rolled out MGLRU to tens of millions of ChromeOS users and
about a million Android users. Google's fleetwide profiling [15] shows
an overall 40% decrease in kswapd CPU usage, in addition to
improvements in other UX metrics, e.g., an 85% decrease in the number
of low-memory kills at the 75th percentile and an 18% decrease in
app launch time at the 50th percentile.
The downstream kernels that have been using MGLRU include:
1. Android [16]
2. Arch Linux Zen [17]
3. Armbian [18]
4. ChromeOS [19]
5. Liquorix [20]
6. OpenWrt [21]
7. post-factum [22]
8. XanMod [23]

Summary
=======
The facts are:
1. The independent lab results and the real-world applications
indicate substantial improvements; there are no known regressions.
2. Thrashing prevention, working set estimation and proactive reclaim
work out of the box; there are no equivalent solutions.
3. There is a lot of new code; no smaller changes have been
demonstrated similar effects.
Our options, accordingly, are:
1. Given the amount of evidence, the reported improvements will likely
materialize for a wide range of workloads.
2. Gauging the interest from the past discussions, the new features
will likely be put to use for both personal computers and data
centers.
3. Based on Google's track record, the new code will likely be well
maintained in the long term. It'd be more difficult if not
impossible to achieve similar effects with other approaches.
This patch (of 14):
Some architectures automatically set the accessed bit in PTEs, e.g., x86
and arm64 v8.2. On architectures that do not have this capability,
clearing the accessed bit in a PTE usually triggers a page fault following
the TLB miss of this PTE (to emulate the accessed bit).
Being aware of this capability can help make better decisions, e.g.,
whether to spread the work out over a period of time to reduce bursty page
faults when trying to clear the accessed bit in many PTEs.
Note that theoretically this capability can be unreliable, e.g.,
hotplugged CPUs might be different from builtin ones. Therefore it should
not be used in architecture-independent code that involves correctness,
e.g., to determine whether TLB flushes are required (in combination with
the accessed bit).

Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache.
Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we
gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1].
Likes PSI, we count submission time as thrashing delay because when the
device is congested, or the submitting cgroup IO-throttled, submission can
be a significant part of overall IO time.
Without this patch, swap thrashing through frontswap or some block
device supporting rw_page operation isn't measured correctly.
This patch is based on "delayacct: support re-entrance detection of
thrashing accounting".

Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache.
Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we
gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1].
For page cache thrashing accounting, there is no suitable place to do it
in fs level likes swap_readpage(). So we have to do it in
folio_wait_bit_common().
Then for anonymous pages thrashing accounting, we have to do it in both
swap_readpage() and folio_wait_bit_common(). This likes PSI, so we should
let thrashing accounting supports re-entrance detection.
This patch is to prepare complete thrashing accounting, and is based on
patch "filemap: make the accounting of thrashing more consistent".

If THP is failed to migrate due to -ENOSYS or -ENOMEM case, the THP will
be split, and the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP will be tried to migrate
again, so we should not account the retry counter in the second loop,
since we already accounted 'nr_thp_failed' in the first loop.
Moreover we also do not need retry 10 times for -EAGAIN case for the
subpages of fail-to-migrate THP in the second loop, since we already
regarded the THP as migration failure, and save some migration time (for
the worst case, will try 512 * 10 times) according to previous discussion

If THP is failed to be migrated, it may be split and retry. But after
splitting, the head page will be left in "from" list, although THP
migration failure has been counted already. If the head page is failed to
be migrated too, the failure will be counted twice incorrectly. So this
is fixed in this patch via moving the head page of THP after splitting to
"thp_split_pages" too.

If THP or hugetlbfs page migration isn't supported, unmap_and_move() or
unmap_and_move_huge_page() will return -ENOSYS. For THP, splitting will
be tried, but if splitting doesn't succeed, the THP will be left in "from"
list wrongly. If some other pages are retried, the THP migration failure
will counted again. This is fixed via moving the failure THP from "from"
to "ret_pages".
Another issue of the original code is that the unsupported failure
processing isn't consistent between THP and hugetlbfs page. Make them
consistent in this patch to make the code easier to be understood too.

In unmap_and_move(), if the new THP cannot be allocated, -ENOMEM will be
returned, and migrate_pages() will try to split the THP unless "reason" is
MR_NUMA_MISPLACED (that is, nosplit == true). But when nosplit == true,
the THP migration failure will not be counted.
This is incorrect, so in this patch, the THP migration failure will be
counted for -ENOMEM regardless of nosplit is true or false. The nr_failed
counting isn't fixed because it's not used. Added some comments for it
per Baolin's suggestion.

migrate_pages()"), the tail pages of THP will be put in the "from"
list directly. So one of the loop cursors (page2) needs to be reset,
as is done in try_split_thp() via list_safe_reset_next(). But after
the commit, the tail pages of THP will be put in a dedicated
list (thp_split_pages). That is, the "from" list will not be changed
during splitting. So, it's unnecessary to call list_safe_reset_next()
anymore.
This is a code cleanup, no functionality changes are expected.

Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache.
Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we
gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1].
So let delayacct account both the thrashing of page cache and anonymous
pages, this could make the codes more consistent and simpler.

Introduce a variable swap_migration_ad_supported to cache whether the arch
supports swap migration A/D bits.
Here one thing to mention is that SWP_MIG_TOTAL_BITS will internally
reference the other macro MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, which is a function call on
x86 (constant on all the rest of archs).
It's safe to reference it in swapfile_init() because when reaching here
we're already during initcalls level 4 so we must have initialized 5-level
pgtable for x86_64 (right after early_identify_cpu() finishes).
- start_kernel
- setup_arch
- early_cpu_init
- get_cpu_cap --> fetch from CPUID (including X86_FEATURE_LA57)
- early_identify_cpu --> clear X86_FEATURE_LA57 (if early lvl5 not enabled (USE_EARLY_PGTABLE_L5))
- arch_call_rest_init
- rest_init
- kernel_init
- kernel_init_freeable
- do_basic_setup
- do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4)
This should slightly speed up the migration swap entry handlings.

We used to have swapfile_maximum_size() fetching a maximum value of
swapfile size per-arch.
As the caller of max_swapfile_size() grows, this patch introduce a
variable "swapfile_maximum_size" and cache the value of old
max_swapfile_size(), so that we don't need to calculate the value every
time.
Caching the value in swapfile_init() is safe because when reaching the
phase we should have initialized all the relevant information. Here the
major arch to take care of is x86, which defines the max swapfile size
based on L1TF mitigation.
Here both X86_BUG_L1TF or l1tf_mitigation should have been setup properly
when reaching swapfile_init(). As a reference, the code path looks like
this for x86:
- start_kernel
- setup_arch
- early_cpu_init
- early_identify_cpu --> setup X86_BUG_L1TF
- parse_early_param
- l1tf_cmdline --> set l1tf_mitigation
- check_bugs
- l1tf_select_mitigation --> set l1tf_mitigation
- arch_call_rest_init
- rest_init
- kernel_init
- kernel_init_freeable
- do_basic_setup
- do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4)
The swapfile size only depends on swp pte format on non-x86 archs, so
caching it is safe too.
Since at it, rename max_swapfile_size() to arch_max_swapfile_size()
because arch can define its own function, so it's more straightforward to
have "arch_" as its prefix. At the meantime, export swapfile_maximum_size
to replace the old usages of max_swapfile_size().

When page migration happens, we always ignore the young/dirty bit settings
in the old pgtable, and marking the page as old in the new page table
using either pte_mkold() or pmd_mkold(), and keeping the pte clean.
That's fine from functional-wise, but that's not friendly to page reclaim
because the moving page can be actively accessed within the procedure.
Not to mention hardware setting the young bit can bring quite some
overhead on some systems, e.g. x86_64 needs a few hundreds nanoseconds to
set the bit. The same slowdown problem to dirty bits when the memory is
first written after page migration happened.
Actually we can easily remember the A/D bit configuration and recover the
information after the page is migrated. To achieve it, define a new set
of bits in the migration swap offset field to cache the A/D bits for old
pte. Then when removing/recovering the migration entry, we can recover
the A/D bits even if the page changed.
One thing to mention is that here we used max_swapfile_size() to detect
how many swp offset bits we have, and we'll only enable this feature if we
know the swp offset is big enough to store both the PFN value and the A/D
bits. Otherwise the A/D bits are dropped like before.
