The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means
that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on
the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and
"cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in
size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64.
Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of
how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be
exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of
THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists.
Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single
CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload.
That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf
UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network
allocations are high-order.

Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of
high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk
allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would
have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the
order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

All the callers of mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() just pass page_pgdat(page) as
the 2nd parameter to it (except isolate_migratepages_block()). But for
isolate_migratepages_block(), the page_pgdat(page) is also equal to the
local variable of @pgdat. So mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() do not need the
pgdat parameter. Just remove it to simplify the code.

Pages containing buffer_heads that are in one of the per-CPU buffer_head
LRU caches will be pinned and thus cannot be migrated. This can prevent
CMA allocations from succeeding, which are often used on platforms with
co-processors (such as a DSP) that can only use physically contiguous
memory. It can also prevent memory hot-unplugging from succeeding,
which involves migrating at least MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes of memory,
which ranges from 8 MiB to 1 GiB based on the architecture in use.
Correspondingly, invalidate the BH LRU caches before a migration starts
and stop any buffer_head from being cached in the LRU caches, until
migration has finished.

LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It
could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than
the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of
migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all
before migrate_pages call.
However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the
draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep
preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have
retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail
but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race
between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration
failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end.
To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during
ongoing migration until migrate is done.
Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times
migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync
migration) with below debug code.
int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page,
..
..
if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) {
printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc);
dump_page(page, "fail to migrate");
}
The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in
background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500
during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced
from 400 to 30.
The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently
drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather
suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation.
With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in
line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as
well.

Similar to page_off_lru(), the new function does non-atomic clearing
of PageLRU() in addition to PageActive() and PageUnevictable(), on a
page that has no references left.
If PageActive() and PageUnevictable() are both set, refuse to clear
either and leave them to bad_page(). This is a behavior change that
is meant to help debug.

The parameter is redundant in the sense that it can be potentially
extracted from the "struct page" parameter by page_lru(). We need to
make sure that existing PageActive() or PageUnevictable() remains
until the function returns. A few places don't conform, and simple
reordering fixes them.
This patch may have left page_off_lru() seemingly odd, and we'll take
care of it in the next patch.

Add relock_page_lruvec() to replace repeated same code, no functional
change.
When testing for relock we can avoid the need for RCU locking if we simply
compare the page pgdat and memcg pointers versus those that the lruvec is
holding. By doing this we can avoid the extra pointer walks and accesses
of the memory cgroup.
In addition we can avoid the checks entirely if lruvec is currently NULL.

This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for
each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have
to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast
with their self lru_lock.
After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could
serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could
replace per node lru lock.
In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and
lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control.
Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are
sth out of hands.
Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on

Hugh Dickins' found a memcg change bug on original version: If we want to
change the pgdat->lru_lock to memcg's lruvec lock, we have to serialize
mem_cgroup_move_account during pagevec_lru_move_fn. The possible bad
scenario would like:
cpu 0 cpu 1
lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec()
if (!isolate_lru_page())
mem_cgroup_move_account
spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock <== wrong lock.
So we need TestClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), that serializes
the memcg change. and then removing the PageLRU check in move_fn callee
as the consequence.
__pagevec_lru_add_fn() is different from the others, because the pages it
deals with are, by definition, not yet on the lru. TestClearPageLRU is
not needed and would not work, so __pagevec_lru_add() goes its own way.

We have to move lru_lock into lru_note_cost, since it cycle up on memcg
tree, for future per lruvec lru_lock replace. It's a bit ugly and may
cost a bit more locking, but benefit from multiple memcg locking could
cover the lost.

Fold the PGROTATED event collection into pagevec_move_tail_fn call back
func like other funcs does in pagevec_lru_move_fn. Thus we could save
func call pagevec_move_tail(). Now all usage of pagevec_lru_move_fn are
same and no needs of its 3rd parameter.
It's just simply the calling. No functional change.

Patch series "per memcg lru lock", v21.
This patchset includes 3 parts:
1) some code cleanup and minimum optimization as preparation
2) use TestCleanPageLRU as page isolation's precondition
3) replace per node lru_lock with per memcg per node lru_lock
Current lru_lock is one for each of node, pgdat->lru_lock, that guard
for lru lists, but now we had moved the lru lists into memcg for long
time. Still using per node lru_lock is clearly unscalable, pages on
each of memcgs have to compete each others for a whole lru_lock. This
patchset try to use per lruvec/memcg lru_lock to repleace per node lru
lock to guard lru lists, make it scalable for memcgs and get performance
gain.
Currently lru_lock still guards both lru list and page's lru bit, that's
ok. but if we want to use specific lruvec lock on the page, we need to
pin down the page's lruvec/memcg during locking. Just taking lruvec
lock first may be undermined by the page's memcg charge/migration. To
fix this problem, we could take out the page's lru bit clear and use it
as pin down action to block the memcg changes. That's the reason for
new atomic func TestClearPageLRU. So now isolating a page need both
actions: TestClearPageLRU and hold the lru_lock.
The typical usage of this is isolate_migratepages_block() in
compaction.c we have to take lru bit before lru lock, that serialized
the page isolation in memcg page charge/migration which will change
page's lruvec and new lru_lock in it.
The above solution suggested by Johannes Weiner, and based on his new
memcg charge path, then have this patchset. (Hugh Dickins tested and
contributed much code from compaction fix to general code polish, thanks
a lot!).
Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case
on his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box on v18, which has no much
different with this v20.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins and Konstantin Khlebnikov, they both brought this
idea 8 years ago, and others who gave comments as well: Daniel Jordan,
Mel Gorman, Shakeel Butt, Matthew Wilcox, Alexander Duyck etc.
Thanks for Testing support from Intel 0day and Rong Chen, Fengguang Wu,
and Yun Wang. Hugh Dickins also shared his kbuild-swap case.
This patch (of 19):
lru_add_page_tail() is only used in huge_memory.c, defining it in other
file with a CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE macro restrict just looks weird.
Let's move it THP. And make it static as Hugh Dickins suggested.

release_pages() is an optimized, inlined version of __put_pages() except
that zone device struct pages that are not page_is_devmap_managed() (i.e.,
memory_type MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC and MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA), fall
through to the code that could return the zone device page to the page
allocator instead of adjusting the pgmap reference count.
Clearly these type of pages are not having the reference count decremented
to zero via release_pages() or page allocation problems would be seen.
Just to be safe, handle the 1 to zero case in release_pages() like
__put_page() does.

The function is_huge_zero_page() doesn't call compound_head() to make sure
the page pointer is a head page. The call to is_huge_zero_page() in
release_pages() is made before compound_head() is called so the test would
fail if release_pages() was called with a tail page of the huge_zero_page
and put_page_testzero() would be called releasing the page.
This is unlikely to be happening in normal use or we would be seeing all
sorts of process data corruption when accessing a THP zero page.
Looking at other places where is_huge_zero_page() is called, all seem to
only pass a head page so I think the right solution is to move the call
to compound_head() in release_pages() to a point before calling
is_huge_zero_page().

To activate a page, mark_page_accessed() always holds a reference on it.
It either gets a new reference when adding a page to
lru_pvecs.activate_page or reuses an existing one it previously got when
it added a page to lru_pvecs.lru_add. So it doesn't call SetPageActive()
on a page that doesn't have any reference left. Therefore, the race is
impossible these days (I didn't brother to dig into its history).
For other paths, namely reclaim and migration, a reference count is always
held while calling SetPageActive() on a page.
SetPageSlabPfmemalloc() also uses SetPageActive(), but it's irrelevant to
LRU pages.

unevictable_pgs_culled and unevictable_pgs_rescued; but
lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() was not doing so for
unevictable_pgs_mlocked, and mm/mlock.c was not doing so for
unevictable_pgs mlocked, munlocked, cleared and stranded.
Fix them; but THPs don't go the pagevec way in mlock.c, so no fixes needed

Commit eef1a429f2 ("mm/swap.c: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() calls")
implemented an optimization mechanism to exit the to-be-started LRU
drain operation (name it A) if another drain operation *started and
finished* while (A) was blocked on the LRU draining mutex.
This was done through a seqcount_t latch, which is an abuse of its
semantics:
1. seqcount_t latching should be used for the purpose of switching
between two storage places with sequence protection to allow
interruptible, preemptible, writer sections. The referenced
optimization mechanism has absolutely nothing to do with that.
2. The used raw_write_seqcount_latch() has two SMP write memory
barriers to insure one consistent storage place out of the two
storage places available. A full memory barrier is required
instead: to guarantee that the pagevec counter stores visible by
local CPU are visible to other CPUs -- before loading the current
drain generation.
Beside the seqcount_t API abuse, the semantics of a latch sequence
counter was force-fitted into the referenced optimization. What was
meant is to track "generations" of LRU draining operations, where
"global lru draining generation = x" implies that all generations
0 < n <= x are already *scheduled* for draining -- thus nothing needs
to be done if the current generation number n <= x.
Remove the conceptually-inappropriate seqcount_t latch usage. Manually
implement the referenced optimization using a counter and SMP memory
barriers.
Note, while at it, use the non-atomic variant of cpumask_set_cpu(),
__cpumask_set_cpu(), due to the already existing mutex protection.

Read to lru_add_pvec->nr could be interrupted and then write to the same
variable. The write has local interrupt disabled, but the plain reads
result in data races. However, it is unlikely the compilers could do much
damage here given that lru_add_pvec->nr is a "unsigned char" and there is
an existing compiler barrier. Thus, annotate the reads using the
data_race() macro. The data races were reported by KCSAN,

In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on active list. Growing active list results in rebalancing
active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive
list. Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list. Numbers denote the number of
pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive).
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
This patch tries to fix this issue. Like as file LRU, newly created or
swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list. They are
promoted to active list if enough reference happens. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected.
Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be
promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the
size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive).
To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset
detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

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.

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.

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 a528910e12 ("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.

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.

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.

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 e986850598 ("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.

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%)

Scanned file 417719308.00 ( +0.00%) 59211118.00 ( -85.83%)

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%)

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:

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:

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):

This patch (of 14):
Currently, THP are counted as single pages until they are split right
before being swapped out. However, at that point the VM is already in the
middle of reclaim, and adjusting the LRU balance then is useless.
Always account THP by the number of basepages, and remove the fixup from
the splitting path.

None of the three callers of get_compound_page_dtor() want to know the
value; they just want to call the function. Replace it with
destroy_compound_page() which calls the dtor for them.

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.

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.
