mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() was originally introduced in
commit c6d23413f8 ("mm/mmu_notifier:
mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() helper") as an optimisation for
device drivers that know a range has only been mapped read-only. However
there are no users of this feature so remove it. As it is the only user
of the struct mmu_notifier_range.vma field remove that also.

While discussing early DMA pool pre-allocation failure with Christoph [1]
I have realized that the allocation failure warning is rather noisy for
constrained allocations like GFP_DMA{32}. Those zones are usually not
populated on all nodes very often as their memory ranges are constrained.
This is an attempt to reduce the ballast that doesn't provide any relevant
information for those allocation failures investigation. Please note that
I have only compile tested it (in my default config setup) and I am
throwing it mostly to see what people think about it.

The primary reason to invoke the oom reaper from the exit_mmap path used
to be a prevention of an excessive oom killing if the oom victim exit
races with the oom reaper (see [1] for more details). The invocation has
moved around since then because of the interaction with the munlock logic
but the underlying reason has remained the same (see [2]).
Munlock code is no longer a problem since [3] and there shouldn't be any
blocking operation before the memory is unmapped by exit_mmap so the oom
reaper invocation can be dropped. The unmapping part can be done with the
non-exclusive mmap_sem and the exclusive one is only required when page
tables are freed.
Remove the oom_reaper from exit_mmap which will make the code easier to
read. This is really unlikely to make any observable difference although
some microbenchmarks could benefit from one less branch that needs to be
evaluated even though it almost never is true.

For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
just cleanups.
I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
The last change was merged May 4th.
Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.
Possible merge conflicts and known resolutions as per linux-next:

The pthread struct is allocated on PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS memory [1] which
can be targeted by the oom reaper. This mapping is used to store the
futex robust list head; the kernel does not keep a copy of the robust
list and instead references a userspace address to maintain the
robustness during a process death.
A race can occur between exit_mm and the oom reaper that allows the oom
reaper to free the memory of the futex robust list before the exit path
has handled the futex death:
CPU1 CPU2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
page_fault
do_exit "signal"
wake_oom_reaper
oom_reaper
oom_reap_task_mm (invalidates mm)
exit_mm
exit_mm_release
futex_exit_release
futex_cleanup
exit_robust_list
get_user (EFAULT- can't access memory)
If the get_user EFAULT's, the kernel will be unable to recover the
waiters on the robust_list, leaving userspace mutexes hung indefinitely.
Delay the OOM reaper, allowing more time for the exit path to perform
the futex cleanup.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just
care about the core logic.
So move the oom_kill sysctls to their own file, mm/oom_kill.c

munlock_vma_pages_range() will still be required, when munlocking but
not munmapping a set of pages; but when unmapping a pte, the mlock count
will be maintained in much the same way as it will be maintained when
mapping in the pte. Which removes the need for munlock_vma_pages_all()
on mlocked vmas when munmapping or exiting: eliminating the catastrophic
contention on i_mmap_rwsem, and the need for page lock on the pages.
There is still a need to update locked_vm accounting according to the
munmapped vmas when munmapping: do that in detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped().
exit_mmap() does not need locked_vm updates, so delete unlock_range().
And wasn't I the one who forbade the OOM reaper to attack mlocked vmas,
because of the uncertainty in blocking on all those page locks?
No fear of that now, so permit the OOM reaper on mlocked vmas.

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
along the way.
The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
the stack.
Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
are the big successes for dead code removal this round.
A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
they were fixing.
There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
rebasing.
Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
removed. Issues where task->exit_code was examined with
signal->group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.
There are several loosely related changes included because I am
cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.
The original postings of these changes can be found at:

The OOM kill sysrq (alt+sysrq+F) should allow the user to kill the
process with the highest OOM badness with a single execution.
However, at the moment, the OOM kill can bail out if an OOM notifier
(e.g. the i915 one) says that it reclaimed a tiny amount of memory from
somewhere. That's probably not what the user wants, so skip the bailout
if the OOM was triggered via sysrq.

process_mrelease does not need to elevate mm->mm_users in order to

walking the VMA tree. The change prevents process_mrelease from calling
the last mmput, which can lead to waiting for IO completion in exit_aio.

Our container agent wants to know when a container exits if it was OOM
killed or not to report to the user. We use memory.oom.group = 1 to
ensure that OOM kills within the container's cgroup kill everything.
Existing memory.events are insufficient for knowing if this triggered:
1) Our current approach reads memory.events oom_kill and reports the
container was killed if the value is non-zero. This is erroneous in
some cases where containers create their children cgroups with
memory.oom.group=1 as such OOM kills will get counted against the
container cgroup's oom_kill counter despite not actually OOM killing
the entire container.
2) Reading memory.events.local will fail to identify OOM kills in leaf
cgroups (that don't set memory.oom.group) within the container
cgroup.
This patch adds a new oom_group_kill event when memory.oom.group
triggers to allow userspace to cleanly identify when an entire cgroup is
oom killed.

__task_will_free_mem to test signal->core_state instead of the flag
SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP.
Both fields are protected by siglock and both live in signal_struct so
there are no real tradeoffs here, just a change to which field is
being tested.

Merge tag 'pidfd.v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"Various places in the kernel have picked up pidfds.
The two most recent additions have probably been the ability to use
pidfds in bpf maps and the usage of pidfds in mm-based syscalls such
as process_mrelease() and process_madvise().
The same pattern to turn a pidfd into a struct task exists in two
places. One of those places used PIDTYPE_TGID while the other one used
PIDTYPE_PID even though it is clearly documented in all pidfd-helpers
that pidfds __currently__ only refer to thread-group leaders (subject
to change in the future if need be).
This isn't a bug per se but has the potential to be one if we allow
pidfds to refer to individual threads. If that happens we want to
audit all codepaths that make use of them to ensure they can deal with
pidfds refering to individual threads.
This adds a simple helper to turn a pidfd into a struct task making it
easy to grep for such places. Plus, it gets rid of code-duplication"

The OOM reaper alters user address space which might theoretically alter
the snapshot if reaping is allowed to happen after the freezer quiescent
state. To this end, the reaper kthread uses wait_event_freezable()
while waiting for any work so that it cannot run while the system
freezes.
However, the current implementation doesn't respect the freezer because
all kernel threads are created with the PF_NOFREEZE flag, so they are
automatically excluded from freezing operations. This means that the
OOM reaper can race with system snapshotting if it has work to do while
the system is being frozen.
Fix this by adding a set_freezable() call which will clear the
PF_NOFREEZE flag and thus make the OOM reaper visible to the freezer.
Please note that the OOM reaper altering the snapshot this way is mostly
a theoretical concern and has not been observed in practice.

Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory. This can happen for 2
different reasons. a) Memcg is out of memory and we rely on
mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize to perform the memcg OOM handling or b)
normal allocation fails.
The latter is quite problematic because allocation paths already trigger
out_of_memory and the page allocator tries really hard to not fail
allocations. Anyway, if the OOM killer has been already invoked there
is no reason to invoke it again from the #PF path. Especially when the
OOM condition might be gone by that time and we have no way to find out
other than allocate.
Moreover if the allocation failed and the OOM killer hasn't been invoked
then we are unlikely to do the right thing from the #PF context because
we have already lost the allocation context and restictions and
therefore might oom kill a task from a different NUMA domain.
This all suggests that there is no legitimate reason to trigger
out_of_memory from pagefault_out_of_memory so drop it. Just to be sure
that no #PF path returns with VM_FAULT_OOM without allocation print a
warning that this is happening before we restart the #PF.
[VvS: #PF allocation can hit into limit of cgroup v1 kmem controller.
This is a local problem related to memcg, however, it causes unnecessary
global OOM kills that are repeated over and over again and escalate into a
real disaster. This has been broken since kmem accounting has been
introduced for cgroup v1 (3.8). There was no kmem specific reclaim for
the separate limit so the only way to handle kmem hard limit was to return
with ENOMEM. In upstream the problem will be fixed by removing the
outdated kmem limit, however stable and LTS kernels cannot do it and are
still affected. This patch fixes the problem and should be backported
into stable/LTS.]

Patch series "memcg: prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks", v3.
Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard
limit. It can be misused and allowed to trigger global OOM from inside
a memcg-limited container. On the other hand if memcg fails allocation,
called from inside #PF handler it triggers global OOM from inside
pagefault_out_of_memory().
To prevent these problems this patchset:
(a) removes execution of out_of_memory() from
pagefault_out_of_memory(), becasue nobody can explain why it is
necessary.
(b) allow memcg to fail allocation of dying/killed tasks.
This patch (of 3):
Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM
which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory which in turn executes
out_out_memory() and can kill a random task.
An allocation might fail when the current task is the oom victim and
there are no memory reserves left. The OOM killer is already handled at
the page allocator level for the global OOM and at the charging level
for the memcg one. Both have much more information about the scope of
allocation/charge request. This means that either the OOM killer has
been invoked properly and didn't lead to the allocation success or it
has been skipped because it couldn't have been invoked. In both cases
triggering it from here is pointless and even harmful.
It makes much more sense to let the killed task die rather than to wake
up an eternally hungry oom-killer and send him to choose a fatter victim
for breakfast.

Pull per signal_struct coredumps from Eric Biederman:
"Current coredumps are mixed up with the exit code, the signal handling
code, and the ptrace code making coredumps much more complicated than
necessary and difficult to follow.
This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up,
making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then
cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the
coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions
with the signal handling code is cleaned up.
The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs.
I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process
the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change
the userspace visible behavior.
In previous discussions some of these changes were organized
differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As
currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups
and bug fixes.
Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change
needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will
still be improved.
If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be
made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for
short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for
generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function
force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the
signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are
eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups
can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become
per signal_struct"

coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread group

Race between process_mrelease and exit_mmap, where free_pgtables is
called while __oom_reap_task_mm is in progress, leads to kernel crash
during pte_offset_map_lock call. oom-reaper avoids this race by setting
MMF_OOM_VICTIM flag and causing exit_mmap to take and release
mmap_write_lock, blocking it until oom-reaper releases mmap_read_lock.
Reusing MMF_OOM_VICTIM for process_mrelease would be the simplest way to
fix this race, however that would be considered a hack. Fix this race
by elevating mm->mm_users and preventing exit_mmap from executing until
process_mrelease is finished. Patch slightly refactors the code to
adapt for a possible mmget_not_zero failure.
This fix has considerable negative impact on process_mrelease
performance and will likely need later optimization.

Rename coredump_exit_mm to coredump_task_exit and call it from do_exit
before PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, and before any cleanup work for a task
happens. This ensures that an accurate copy of the process can be
captured in the coredump as no cleanup for the process happens before
the coredump completes. This also ensures that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT
will not be visited by any thread until the coredump is complete.
Add a new flag PF_POSTCOREDUMP so that tasks that have passed through
coredump_task_exit can be recognized and ignored in zap_process.
Now that all of the coredumping happens before exit_mm remove code to
test for a coredump in progress from mm_release.
Replace "may_ptrace_stop()" with a simple test of "current->ptrace".
The other tests in may_ptrace_stop all concern avoiding stopping
during a coredump. These tests are no longer necessary as it is now
guaranteed that fatal_signal_pending will be set if the code enters
ptrace_stop during a coredump. The code in ptrace_stop is guaranteed
not to stop if fatal_signal_pending returns true.
Until this change "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" could call
ptrace_stop without fatal_signal_pending being true, as signals are
dequeued in get_signal before calling do_exit. This is no longer
an issue as "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" is no longer reached
until after the coredump completes.

In modern systems it's not unusual to have a system component monitoring
memory conditions of the system and tasked with keeping system memory
pressure under control. One way to accomplish that is to kill
non-essential processes to free up memory for more important ones.
Examples of this are Facebook's OOM killer daemon called oomd and
Android's low memory killer daemon called lmkd.
For such system component it's important to be able to free memory quickly
and efficiently. Unfortunately the time process takes to free up its
memory after receiving a SIGKILL might vary based on the state of the
process (uninterruptible sleep), size and OPP level of the core the
process is running. A mechanism to free resources of the target process
in a more predictable way would improve system's ability to control its
memory pressure.
Introduce process_mrelease system call that releases memory of a dying
process from the context of the caller. This way the memory is freed in a
more controllable way with CPU affinity and priority of the caller. The
workload of freeing the memory will also be charged to the caller. The
operation is allowed only on a dying process.
After previous discussions [1, 2, 3] the decision was made [4] to
introduce a dedicated system call to cover this use case.
The API is as follows,
int process_mrelease(int pidfd, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The process_mrelease() system call is used to free the memory of
an exiting process.
The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file
descriptor.
(See pidfd_open(2) for further information)
The flags argument is reserved for future use; currently, this
argument must be specified as 0.
RETURN VALUE
On success, process_mrelease() returns 0. On error, -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EBADF pidfd is not a valid PID file descriptor.
EAGAIN Failed to release part of the address space.
EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal; see signal(7).
EINVAL flags is not 0.
EINVAL The memory of the task cannot be released because the
process is not exiting, the address space is shared
with another live process or there is a core dump in
progress.
ENOSYS This system call is not supported, for example, without
MMU support built into Linux.
ESRCH The target process does not exist (i.e., it has terminated
and been waited on).

Patch series "mm/mempolicy: some fix and semantics cleanup", v4.
Current memory policy code has some confusing and ambiguous part about
MPOL_LOCAL policy, as it is handled as a faked MPOL_PREFERRED one, and
there are many places having to distinguish them. Also the nodemask
intersection check needs cleanup to be more explicit for OOM use, and
handle MPOL_INTERLEAVE correctly. This patchset cleans up these and
unifies the parameter sanity check for mbind() and set_mempolicy().
This patch (of 3):
mempolicy_nodemask_intersects seem to be a general purpose mempolicy
function. In fact it is partially tailored for the OOM purpose
instead. The oom proper is the only existing user so rename the
function to make that purpose explicit.
While at it drop the MPOL_INTERLEAVE as those allocations never has a
nodemask defined (see alloc_page_interleave) so this is a dead code and
a confusing one because MPOL_INTERLEAVE is a hint rather than a hard
requirement so it shouldn't be considered during the OOM.
The final code can be reduced to a check for MPOL_BIND which is the
only memory policy that is a hard requirement and thus relevant to a
constrained OOM logic.

Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm. This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.
Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important. Such operation can happen frequently. We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression. Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us. Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the
system.
Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with
(CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK). Change __set_oom_adj to use
MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj
update should be synchronized between multiple processes. To prevent
races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the
process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use
oom_adj_mutex. Its scope is changed to global.
The combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for
the case of vfork(). To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we
skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is
specified. Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process
sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and
because it is believed that this threading model is rare. Should there
ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking
into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern.
With the combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK) being
quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

When the OOM killer finds a victim and tryies to kill it, if the victim is
already exiting, the task mm will be NULL and no process will be killed.
But the dump_header() has been already executed, so it will be strange to
dump so much information without killing a process. We'd better show some
helpful information to indicate why this happens.

Recently we found an issue on our production environment that when memcg
oom is triggered the oom killer doesn't chose the process with largest
resident memory but chose the first scanned process. Note that all
processes in this memcg have the same oom_score_adj, so the oom killer
should chose the process with largest resident memory.
Bellow is part of the oom info, which is enough to analyze this issue.

[7516988.092344] oom_reaper: reaped process 5740 (pause), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
We can find that the first scanned process 5740 (pause) was killed, but
its rss is only one page. That is because, when we calculate the oom
badness in oom_badness(), we always ignore the negtive point and convert
all of these negtive points to 1. Now as oom_score_adj of all the
processes in this targeted memcg have the same value -998, the points of
these processes are all negtive value. As a result, the first scanned
process will be killed.
The oom_socre_adj (-998) in this memcg is set by kubelet, because it is a
a Guaranteed pod, which has higher priority to prevent from being killed
by system oom.
To fix this issue, we should make the calculation of oom point more
accurate. We can achieve it by convert the chosen_point from 'unsigned
long' to 'long'.

In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.
To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).
Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but
only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.
The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

classzone_idx is just different name for high_zoneidx now. So, integrate
them and add some comment to struct alloc_context in order to reduce
future confusion about the meaning of this variable.
The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed
after integration.
In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to
highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

When a process cannot be oom reaped, for whatever reason, currently the
list of locks that are held is currently dumped to the kernel log.
Much more interesting is the stack trace of the victim that cannot be
reaped. If the stack trace is dumped, we have the ability to find
related occurrences in the same kernel code and hopefully solve the
issue that is making it wedged.
Dump the stack trace when a process fails to be oom reaped.

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.
