Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"
Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.
In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>
In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.
This patch (of 8):
In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.
As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.
The process was somewhat automated using
sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
$(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
$(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))
where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

When workload runs in cgroups that aren't directly below root cgroup and
their parent specifies reclaim protection, it may end up ineffective.
The reason is that propagate_protected_usage() is not called in all
hierarchy up. All the protected usage is incorrectly accumulated in the
workload's parent. This means that siblings_low_usage is overestimated
and effective protection underestimated. Even though it is transitional
phenomenon (uncharge path does correct propagation and fixes the wrong
children_low_usage), it can undermine the intended protection
unexpectedly.
We have noticed this problem while seeing a swap out in a descendant of a
protected memcg (intermediate node) while the parent was conveniently
under its protection limit and the memory pressure was external to that
hierarchy. Michal has pinpointed this down to the wrong
siblings_low_usage which led to the unwanted reclaim.
The fix is simply updating children_low_usage in respective ancestors also
in the charging path.

When an outside process lowers one of the memory limits of a cgroup (or
uses the force_empty knob in cgroup1), direct reclaim is performed in the
context of the write(), in order to directly enforce the new limit and
have it being met by the time the write() returns.
Currently, this reclaim activity is accounted as memory pressure in the
cgroup that the writer(!) belongs to. This is unexpected. It
specifically causes problems for senpai
(https://github.com/facebookincubator/senpai), which is an agent that
routinely adjusts the memory limits and performs associated reclaim work
in tens or even hundreds of cgroups running on the host. The cgroup that
senpai is running in itself will report elevated levels of memory
pressure, even though it itself is under no memory shortage or any sort of
distress.
Move the psi annotation from the central cgroup reclaim function to
callsites in the allocation context, and thereby no longer count any
limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure. If the newly set limit causes
the workload inside the cgroup into direct reclaim, that of course will
continue to count as memory pressure.

Memcg oom killer invocation is synchronized by the global oom_lock and
tasks are sleeping on the lock while somebody is selecting the victim or
potentially race with the oom_reaper is releasing the victim's memory.
This can result in a pointless oom killer invocation because a waiter
might be racing with the oom_reaper
P1 oom_reaper P2
oom_reap_task mutex_lock(oom_lock)
out_of_memory # no victim because we have one already
__oom_reap_task_mm mute_unlock(oom_lock)
mutex_lock(oom_lock)
set MMF_OOM_SKIP
select_bad_process
# finds a new victim
The page allocator prevents from this race by trying to allocate after the
lock can be acquired (in __alloc_pages_may_oom) which acts as a last
minute check. Moreover page allocator simply doesn't block on the
oom_lock and simply retries the whole reclaim process.
Memcg oom killer should do the last minute check as well. Call
mem_cgroup_margin to do that. Trylock on the oom_lock could be done as
well but this doesn't seem to be necessary at this stage.

can be a little unexpected: it appears to be a simple predicate function,
if not for the big warning in the comment above about the order in which
it must be executed.
This change makes it so that we separate the state mutations from the
actual protection checks, which makes it more obvious where we need to be
careful mutating internal state, and where we are simply checking and
don't need to worry about that.

Patch series "mm, memcg: memory.{low,min} reclaim fix & cleanup", v4.
This series contains a fix for a edge case in my earlier protection
calculation patches, and a patch to make the area overall a little more
robust to hopefully help avoid this in future.
This patch (of 2):
A cgroup can have both memory protection and a memory limit to isolate it
from its siblings in both directions - for example, to prevent it from
being shrunk below 2G under high pressure from outside, but also from
growing beyond 4G under low pressure.
Commit 9783aa9917 ("mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim")
implemented proportional scan pressure so that multiple siblings in excess
of their protection settings don't get reclaimed equally but instead in
accordance to their unprotected portion.
During limit reclaim, this proportionality shouldn't apply of course:
there is no competition, all pressure is from within the cgroup and should
be applied as such. Reclaim should operate at full efficiency.
However, mem_cgroup_protected() never expected anybody to look at the
effective protection values when it indicated that the cgroup is above its
protection. As a result, a query during limit reclaim may return stale
protection values that were calculated by a previous reclaim cycle in
which the cgroup did have siblings.
When this happens, reclaim is unnecessarily hesitant and potentially slow
to meet the desired limit. In theory this could lead to premature OOM
kills, although it's not obvious this has occurred in practice.
Workaround the problem by special casing reclaim roots in
mem_cgroup_protection. These memcgs are never participating in the
reclaim protection because the reclaim is internal.
We have to ignore effective protection values for reclaim roots because
mem_cgroup_protected might be called from racing reclaim contexts with
different roots. Calculation is relying on root -> leaf tree traversal
therefore top-down reclaim protection invariants should hold. The only
exception is the reclaim root which should have effective protection set
to 0 but that would be problematic for the following setup:
Let's have global and A's reclaim in parallel:
|
A (low=2G, usage = 3G, max = 3G, children_low_usage = 1.5G)
|\
| C (low = 1G, usage = 2.5G)
B (low = 1G, usage = 0.5G)
for A reclaim we have
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
For the global reclaim
A.elow = A.low
B.elow = min(B.usage, B.low) because children_low_usage <= A.elow
C.elow = min(C.usage, C.low)
With the effective values resetting we have A reclaim
A.elow = 0
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
and global reclaim could see the above and then
B.elow = C.elow = 0 because children_low_usage > A.elow
Which means that protected memcgs would get reclaimed.
In future we would like to make mem_cgroup_protected more robust against
racing reclaim contexts but that is likely more complex solution than this
simple workaround.

Reclaim retries have been set to 5 since the beginning of time in
commit 66e1707bc3 ("Memory controller: add per cgroup LRU and
reclaim"). However, we now have a generally agreed-upon standard for
page reclaim: MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (currently 16), added many years later
in commit 0a0337e0d1 ("mm, oom: rework oom detection").
In the absence of a compelling reason to declare an OOM earlier in memcg
context than page allocator context, it seems reasonable to supplant
MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_RETRIES with MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES, making the page
allocator and memcg internals more similar in semantics when reclaim
fails to produce results, avoiding premature OOMs or throttling.

Patch series "mm, memcg: reclaim harder before high throttling", v2.
This patch (of 2):
In Facebook production, we've seen cases where cgroups have been put into
allocator throttling even when they appear to have a lot of slack file
caches which should be trivially reclaimable.
Looking more closely, the problem is that we only try a single cgroup
reclaim walk for each return to usermode before calculating whether or not
we should throttle. This single attempt doesn't produce enough pressure
to shrink for cgroups with a rapidly growing amount of file caches prior
to entering allocator throttling.
As an example, we see that threads in an affected cgroup are stuck in
allocator throttling:
# for i in $(cat cgroup.threads); do
> grep over_high "/proc/$i/stack"
> done
[<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150
[<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150
[<0>] mem_cgroup_handle_over_high+0x10b/0x150
...however, there is no I/O pressure reported by PSI, despite a lot of
slack file pages:
# cat memory.pressure
some avg10=78.50 avg60=84.99 avg300=84.53 total=5702440903
full avg10=78.50 avg60=84.99 avg300=84.53 total=5702116959
# cat io.pressure
some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=78051391
full avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=78049640
# grep _file memory.stat
inactive_file 1370939392
active_file 661635072
This patch changes the behaviour to retry reclaim either until the current
task goes below the 10ms grace period, or we are making no reclaim
progress at all. In the latter case, we enter reclaim throttling as
before.
To a user, there's no intuitive reason for the reclaim behaviour to differ
from hitting memory.high as part of a new allocation, as opposed to
hitting memory.high because someone lowered its value. As such this also
brings an added benefit: it unifies the reclaim behaviour between the two.
There's precedent for this behaviour: we already do reclaim retries when
writing to memory.{high,max}, in max reclaim, and in the page allocator
itself.

Memory.high limit is implemented in a way such that the kernel penalizes
all threads which are allocating a memory over the limit. Forcing all
threads into the synchronous reclaim and adding some artificial delays
allows to slow down the memory consumption and potentially give some time
for userspace oom handlers/resource control agents to react.
It works nicely if the memory usage is hitting the limit from below,
however it works sub-optimal if a user adjusts memory.high to a value way
below the current memory usage. It basically forces all workload threads
(doing any memory allocations) into the synchronous reclaim and sleep.
This makes the workload completely unresponsive for a long period of time
and can also lead to a system-wide contention on lru locks. It can happen
even if the workload is not actually tight on memory and has, for example,
a ton of cold pagecache.
In the current implementation writing to memory.high causes an atomic
update of page counter's high value followed by an attempt to reclaim
enough memory to fit into the new limit. To fix the problem described
above, all we need is to change the order of execution: try to push the
memory usage under the limit first, and only then set the new high limit.

Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and
non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted
allocations, we can use just one.
The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on
demand and filled only for accounted allocations.
It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache
clones for accounted allocations. There is no more need to create them,
accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc. It's a quite
significant simplification.
Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not
all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are
expected. On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.

Currently there are two lists of kmem_caches:
1) slab_caches, which contains all kmem_caches,
2) slab_root_caches, which contains only root kmem_caches.
And there is some preprocessor magic to have a single list if
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM isn't enabled.
It was required earlier because the number of non-root kmem_caches was
proportional to the number of memory cgroups and could reach really big
values. Now, when it cannot exceed the number of root kmem_caches, there
is really no reason to maintain two lists.
We never iterate over the slab_root_caches list on any hot paths, so it's
perfectly fine to iterate over slab_caches and filter out non-root
kmem_caches.
It allows to remove a lot of config-dependent code and two pointers from
the kmem_cache structure.

Because the number of non-root kmem_caches doesn't depend on the number of
memory cgroups anymore and is generally not very big, there is no more
need for a dedicated workqueue.
Also, as there is no more need to pass any arguments to the
memcg_create_kmem_cache() except the root kmem_cache, it's possible to
just embed the work structure into the kmem_cache and avoid the dynamic
allocation of the work structure.
This will also simplify the synchronization: for each root kmem_cache
there is only one work. So there will be no more concurrent attempts to
create a non-root kmem_cache for a root kmem_cache: the second and all
following attempts to queue the work will fail.
On the kmem_cache destruction path there is no more need to call the
expensive flush_workqueue() and wait for all pending works to be finished.
Instead, cancel_work_sync() can be used to cancel/wait for only one work.

This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab
allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate
set for each memory cgroup.
Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of
root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely.
They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts.
This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root
kmem_caches and delete a ton of code.
This patch performs the following changes:
1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the
kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations
2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism
to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt
3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg,
e.g. dentry-memcg
4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache
or schedule it's creation and return the root cache
5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code
(separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc)
6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never
show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute.
Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.

Deprecate memory.kmem.slabinfo.
An empty file will be presented if corresponding config options are
enabled.
The interface is implementation dependent, isn't present in cgroup v2, and
is generally useful only for core mm debugging purposes. In other words,
it doesn't provide any value for the absolute majority of users.
A drgn-based replacement can be found in
tools/cgroup/memcg_slabinfo.py. It does support cgroup v1 and v2,
mimics memory.kmem.slabinfo output and also allows to get any
additional information without a need to recompile the kernel.
If a drgn-based solution is too slow for a task, a bpf-based tracing tool
can be used, which can easily keep track of all slab allocations belonging
to a memory cgroup.

Switch to per-object accounting of non-root slab objects.
Charging is performed using obj_cgroup API in the pre_alloc hook.
Obj_cgroup is charged with the size of the object and the size of
metadata: as now it's the size of an obj_cgroup pointer. If the amount of
memory has been charged successfully, the actual allocation code is
executed. Otherwise, -ENOMEM is returned.
In the post_alloc hook if the actual allocation succeeded, corresponding
vmstats are bumped and the obj_cgroup pointer is saved. Otherwise, the
charge is canceled.
On the free path obj_cgroup pointer is obtained and used to uncharge the
size of the releasing object.
Memcg and lruvec counters are now representing only memory used by active
slab objects and do not include the free space. The free space is shared
and doesn't belong to any specific cgroup.
Global per-node slab vmstats are still modified from
(un)charge_slab_page() functions. The idea is to keep all slab pages
accounted as slab pages on system level.

Allocate and release memory to store obj_cgroup pointers for each non-root
slab page. Reuse page->mem_cgroup pointer to store a pointer to the
allocated space.
This commit temporarily increases the memory footprint of the kernel memory
accounting. To store obj_cgroup pointers we'll need a place for an
objcg_pointer for each allocated object. However, the following patches
in the series will enable sharing of slab pages between memory cgroups,
which will dramatically increase the total slab utilization. And the final
memory footprint will be significantly smaller than before.
To distinguish between obj_cgroups and memcg pointers in case when it's
not obvious which one is used (as in page_cgroup_ino()), let's always set
the lowest bit in the obj_cgroup case. The original obj_cgroups
pointer is marked to be ignored by kmemleak, which otherwise would
report a memory leak for each allocated vector.

Obj_cgroup API provides an ability to account sub-page sized kernel
objects, which potentially outlive the original memory cgroup.
The top-level API consists of the following functions:
bool obj_cgroup_tryget(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_get(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
void obj_cgroup_put(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
int obj_cgroup_charge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, gfp_t gfp, size_t size);
void obj_cgroup_uncharge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, size_t size);
struct mem_cgroup *obj_cgroup_memcg(struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
struct obj_cgroup *get_obj_cgroup_from_current(void);
Object cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a per-cpu
reference counter. It substitutes a memory cgroup in places where it's
necessary to charge a custom amount of bytes instead of pages.
All charged memory rounded down to pages is charged to the corresponding
memory cgroup using __memcg_kmem_charge().
It implements reparenting: on memcg offlining it's getting reattached to
the parent memory cgroup. Each online memory cgroup has an associated
active object cgroup to handle new allocations and the list of all
attached object cgroups. On offlining of a cgroup this list is reparented
and for each object cgroup in the list the memcg pointer is swapped to the
parent memory cgroup. It prevents long-living objects from pinning the
original memory cgroup in the memory.
The implementation is based on byte-sized per-cpu stocks. A sub-page
sized leftover is stored in an atomic field, which is a part of obj_cgroup
object. So on cgroup offlining the leftover is automatically reparented.
memcg->objcg is rcu protected. objcg->memcg is a raw pointer, which is
always pointing at a memory cgroup, but can be atomically swapped to the
parent memory cgroup. So a user must ensure the lifetime of the
cgroup, e.g. grab rcu_read_lock or css_set_lock.

The reference counting of a memcg is currently coupled directly to how
many 4k pages are charged to it. This doesn't work well with Roman's new
slab controller, which maintains pools of objects and doesn't want to keep
an extra balance sheet for the pages backing those objects.
This unusual refcounting design (reference counts usually track pointers
to an object) is only for historical reasons: memcg used to not take any
css references and simply stalled offlining until all charges had been
reparented and the page counters had dropped to zero. When we got rid of
the reparenting requirement, the simple mechanical translation was to take
a reference for every charge.
More historical context can be found in commit e8ea14cc6e ("mm:
memcontrol: take a css reference for each charged page"), commit
64f2199389 ("mm: memcontrol: remove obsolete kmemcg pinning tricks") and
commit b2052564e6 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from offlined
groups").
The new slab controller exposes the limitations in this scheme, so let's
switch it to a more idiomatic reference counting model based on actual
kernel pointers to the memcg:
- The per-cpu stock holds a reference to the memcg its caching
- User pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup. Transparent
huge pages will no longer acquire tail references in advance, we'll
get them if needed during the split.
- Kernel pages hold a reference for their page->mem_cgroup
- Pages allocated in the root cgroup will acquire and release css
references for simplicity. css_get() and css_put() optimize that.
- The current memcg_charge_slab() already hacked around the per-charge
references; this change gets rid of that as well.
- tcp accounting will handle reference in mem_cgroup_sk_{alloc,free}
Roman:
1) Rebased on top of the current mm tree: added css_get() in
mem_cgroup_charge(), dropped mem_cgroup_try_charge() part
2) I've reformatted commit references in the commit log to make
checkpatch.pl happy.

This commit implements SLUB version of the obj_to_index() function, which
will be required to calculate the offset of obj_cgroup in the obj_cgroups
vector to store/obtain the objcg ownership data.
To make it faster, let's repeat the SLAB's trick introduced by commit
6a2d7a955d ("SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in
obj_to_index()") and avoid an expensive division.
Vlastimil Babka noticed, that SLUB does have already a similar function
called slab_index(), which is defined only if SLUB_DEBUG is enabled. The
function does a similar math, but with a division, and it also takes a
page address instead of a page pointer.
Let's remove slab_index() and replace it with the new helper
__obj_to_index(), which takes a page address. obj_to_index() will be a
simple wrapper taking a page pointer and passing page_address(page) into
__obj_to_index().

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.

To implement per-object slab memory accounting, we need to convert slab
vmstat counters to bytes. Actually, out of 4 levels of counters: global,
per-node, per-memcg and per-lruvec only two last levels will require
byte-sized counters. It's because global and per-node counters will be
counting the number of slab pages, and per-memcg and per-lruvec will be
counting the amount of memory taken by charged slab objects.
Converting all vmstat counters to bytes or even all slab counters to bytes
would introduce an additional overhead. So instead let's store global and
per-node counters in pages, and memcg and lruvec counters in bytes.
To make the API clean all access helpers (both on the read and write
sides) are dealing with bytes.
To avoid back-and-forth conversions a new flavor of read-side helpers is
introduced, which always returns values in pages: node_page_state_pages()
and global_node_page_state_pages().
Actually new helpers are just reading raw values. Old helpers are simple
wrappers, which will complain on an attempt to read byte value, because at
the moment no one actually needs bytes.
Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the idea of having the byte-sized API on top
of the page-sized internal storage.

Patch series "The new cgroup slab memory controller", v7.
The patchset moves the accounting from the page level to the object level.
It allows to share slab pages between memory cgroups. This leads to a
significant win in the slab utilization (up to 45%) and the corresponding
drop in the total kernel memory footprint. The reduced number of
unmovable slab pages should also have a positive effect on the memory
fragmentation.
The patchset makes the slab accounting code simpler: there is no more need
in the complicated dynamic creation and destruction of per-cgroup slab
caches, all memory cgroups use a global set of shared slab caches. The
lifetime of slab caches is not more connected to the lifetime of memory
cgroups.
The more precise accounting does require more CPU, however in practice the
difference seems to be negligible. We've been using the new slab
controller in Facebook production for several months with different
workloads and haven't seen any noticeable regressions. What we've seen
were memory savings in order of 1 GB per host (it varied heavily depending
on the actual workload, size of RAM, number of CPUs, memory pressure,
etc).
The third version of the patchset added yet another step towards the
simplification of the code: sharing of slab caches between accounted and
non-accounted allocations. It comes with significant upsides (most
noticeable, a complete elimination of dynamic slab caches creation) but
not without some regression risks, so this change sits on top of the
patchset and is not completely merged in. So in the unlikely event of a
noticeable performance regression it can be reverted separately.
The slab memory accounting works in exactly the same way for SLAB and
SLUB. With both allocators the new controller shows significant memory
savings, with SLUB the difference is bigger. On my 16-core desktop
machine running Fedora 32 the size of the slab memory measured after the
start of the system was lower by 58% and 38% with SLUB and SLAB
correspondingly.
As an estimation of a potential CPU overhead, below are results of
slab_bulk_test01 test, kindly provided by Jesper D. Brouer. He also
helped with the evaluation of results.

Historically the kernel memory accounting was an opt-in feature, which
could be enabled for individual cgroups. But now it's not true, and it's
on by default both on cgroup v1 and cgroup v2. And as long as a user has
at least one non-root memory cgroup, the kernel memory accounting is on.
So in most setups it's either always on (if memory cgroups are in use and
kmem accounting is not disabled), either always off (otherwise).
memcg_kmem_enabled() is used in many places to guard the kernel memory
accounting code. If memcg_kmem_enabled() can reverse from returning true
to returning false (as now), we can't rely on it on release paths and have
to check if it was on before.
If we'll make memcg_kmem_enabled() irreversible (always returning true
after returning it for the first time), it'll make the general logic more
simple and robust. It also will allow to guard some checks which
otherwise would stay unguarded.

The default is still set to inode32 for backwards compatibility, but
system administrators can opt in to the new 64-bit inode numbers by
either:
1. Passing inode64 on the command line when mounting, or
2. Configuring the kernel with CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y
The inode64 and inode32 names are used based on existing precedent from
XFS.

Patch series "tmpfs: inode: Reduce risk of inum overflow", v7.
In Facebook production we are seeing heavy i_ino wraparounds on tmpfs. On
affected tiers, in excess of 10% of hosts show multiple files with
different content and the same inode number, with some servers even having
as many as 150 duplicated inode numbers with differing file content.
This causes actual, tangible problems in production. For example, we have
complaints from those working on remote caches that their application is
reporting cache corruptions because it uses (device, inodenum) to
establish the identity of a particular cache object, but because it's not
unique any more, the application refuses to continue and reports cache
corruption. Even worse, sometimes applications may not even detect the
corruption but may continue anyway, causing phantom and hard to debug
behaviour.
In general, userspace applications expect that (device, inodenum) should
be enough to be uniquely point to one inode, which seems fair enough. One
might also need to check the generation, but in this case:
1. That's not currently exposed to userspace
(ioctl(...FS_IOC_GETVERSION...) returns ENOTTY on tmpfs);
2. Even with generation, there shouldn't be two live inodes with the
same inode number on one device.
In order to mitigate this, we take a two-pronged approach:
1. Moving inum generation from being global to per-sb for tmpfs. This
itself allows some reduction in i_ino churn. This works on both 64-
and 32- bit machines.
2. Adding inode{64,32} for tmpfs. This fix is supported on machines with
64-bit ino_t only: we allow users to mount tmpfs with a new inode64
option that uses the full width of ino_t, or CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64.
You can see how this compares to previous related patches which didn't
implement this per-superblock:
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11254001/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11023915/
This patch (of 2):
get_next_ino has a number of problems:
- It uses and returns a uint, which is susceptible to become overflowed
if a lot of volatile inodes that use get_next_ino are created.
- It's global, with no specificity per-sb or even per-filesystem. This
means it's not that difficult to cause inode number wraparounds on a
single device, which can result in having multiple distinct inodes
with the same inode number.
This patch adds a per-superblock counter that mitigates the second case.
This design also allows us to later have a specific i_ino size per-device,
for example, allowing users to choose whether to use 32- or 64-bit inodes
for each tmpfs mount. This is implemented in the next commit.
For internal shmem mounts which may be less tolerant to spinlock delays,
we implement a percpu batching scheme which only takes the stat_lock at
each batch boundary.

swap_readpage() does the sync io for one page, the io is not big,
normally, the io can be finished quickly, but it may take long time or
wait forever in case of io failure or discard.
This patch uses blk_io_schedule() instead of io_schedule() to avoid task
hung and crash (when set /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic) when the above
exception occurs.
This is similar to the hung task avoidance in submit_bio_wait(),
blk_execute_rq() and __blkdev_direct_IO().

Because enable_swap_slots_cache can only become true in
enable_swap_slots_cache(), and depends on swap_slot_cache_initialized is
true before. That means, when enable_swap_slots_cache is true,
swap_slot_cache_initialized is true also.
So the condition:
"swap_slot_cache_enabled && swap_slot_cache_initialized"
can be reduced to "swap_slot_cache_enabled"
And in mathematics:
"!swap_slot_cache_enabled || !swap_slot_cache_initialized"
is equal to "!(swap_slot_cache_enabled && swap_slot_cache_initialized)"
So no functional change.

Since commit bbddabe2e4 ("mm: filemap: only do access activations on
reads"), mark_page_accessed() is called for reads only. But the idle flag
is cleared by mark_page_accessed() so the idle flag won't get cleared if
the page is write accessed only.
Basically idle page tracking is used to estimate workingset size of
workload, noticeable size of workingset might be missed if the idle flag
is not maintained correctly.
It seems good enough to just clear idle flag for write operations.

If a compound page is being split while dump_page() is being run on that
page, we can end up calling compound_mapcount() on a page that is no
longer compound. This leads to a crash (already seen at least once in the
field), due to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() assertion inside compound_mapcount().
(The above is from Matthew Wilcox's analysis of Qian Cai's bug report.)
A similar problem is possible, via compound_pincount() instead of
compound_mapcount().
In order to avoid this kind of crash, make dump_page() slightly more
robust, by providing a pair of simpler routines that don't contain
assertions: head_mapcount() and head_pincount().
For debug tools, we don't want to go *too* far in this direction, but this
is a simple small fix, and the crash has already been seen, so it's a good
trade-off.

Tail page flags contain very little useful information. Print the head
page's flags instead. While the flags will contain "head" for tail pages,
this should not be too confusing as the previous line starts with the word
"head:" and so the flags should be interpreted as belonging to the head
page.
