9092c71bb7 ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the
way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it
priority-based:
delta = freeable >> priority;
delta *= 4;
do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks);
The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is
applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less
than 4096 (1<<12).
This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to
(almost) never get reclaimed. It's obviously a waste of memory.
It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a
reference to a dying cgroup. Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg
offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the
dying cgroup. If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go
away. Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects,
only remaining objects from dying children cgroups. So it can easily hold
a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups.
If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are
created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying
cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory
"leak". It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed,
but it could not happen in a real life at all. I've seen hosts with a
steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of
a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production
workload.
It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal
pressure even on small shrinker lists. E.g. if there are freeable
objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects.
This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be
reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth
of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

There is a sad BUG introduced in patch adding SHRINKER_REGISTERING.
shrinker_idr business is only for memcg-aware shrinkers. Only such type
of shrinkers have id and they must be finaly installed via idr_replace()
in this function. For !memcg-aware shrinkers we never initialize
shrinker->id field.
But there are all types of shrinkers passed to idr_replace(), and every
!memcg-aware shrinker with random ID (most probably, its id is 0)
replaces memcg-aware shrinker pointed by the ID in IDR.
This patch fixes the problem.

The patch introduces a special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING to use instead
of list_empty() to differ a registering shrinker from unregistered
shrinker. Why we need that at all?
Shrinker registration is split in two parts. The first one is
prealloc_shrinker(), which allocates shrinker memory and reserves ID in
shrinker_idr. This function can fail. The second is
register_shrinker_prepared(), and it finalizes the registration. This
function actually makes shrinker available to be used from
shrink_slab(), and it can't fail.
One shrinker may be based on more then one LRU lists. So, we never
clear the bit in memcg shrinker maps, when (one of) corresponding LRU
list becomes empty, since other LRU lists may be not empty. See
superblock shrinker for example: it is based on two LRU lists:
s_inode_lru and s_dentry_lru. We do not want to clear shrinker bit,
when there are no inodes in s_inode_lru, as s_dentry_lru may contain
dentries.
Instead of that, we use special algorithm to detect shrinkers having no
elements at all its LRU lists, and this is made in shrink_slab_memcg().
See the comment in this function for the details.
Also, in shrink_slab_memcg() we clear shrinker bit in the map, when we
meet unregistered shrinker (bit is set, while there is no a shrinker in
IDR). Otherwise, we would have done that at the moment of shrinker
unregistration for all memcgs (and this looks worse, since iteration
over all memcg may take much time). Also this would have imposed
restrictions on shrinker unregistration order for its users: they would
have had to guarantee, there are no new elements after
unregister_shrinker() (otherwise, a new added element would have set a
bit).
So, if we meet a set bit in map and no shrinker in IDR when we're
iterating over the map in shrink_slab_memcg(), this means the
corresponding shrinker is unregistered, and we must clear the bit.
Another case is shrinker registration. We want two things there:
1) do_shrink_slab() can be called only for completely registered
shrinkers;
2) shrinker internal lists may be populated in any order with
register_shrinker_prepared() (let's talk on the example with sb). Both
of:
a)list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu0]
memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu0]
...
register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu1]
and
b)register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu0]
...
list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu1]
memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu1]
are legitimate. We don't want to impose restriction here and to
force people to use only (b) variant. We don't want to force people to
care, there is no elements in LRU lists before the shrinker is
completely registered. Internal users of LRU lists and shrinker code
are two different subsystems, and they have to be closed in themselves
each other.
In (a) case we have the bit set before shrinker is completely
registered. We don't want do_shrink_slab() is called at this moment, so
we have to detect such the registering shrinkers.
Before this patch list_empty() (shrinker is not linked to the list)
check was used for that. So, in (a) there could be a bit set, but we
don't call do_shrink_slab() unless shrinker is linked to the list. It's
just an indicator, I just overloaded linking to the list.
This was not the best solution, since it's better not to touch the
shrinker memory from shrink_slab_memcg() before it's completely
registered (this also will be useful in the future to make shrink_slab()
completely lockless).
So, this patch introduces better way to detect registering shrinker,
which allows not to dereference shrinker memory. It's just a ~0UL
value, which we insert into the IDR during ID allocation. After
shrinker is ready to be used, we insert actual shrinker pointer in the
IDR, and it becomes available to shrink_slab_memcg().
We can't use NULL instead of this new value for this purpose as:
shrink_slab_memcg() already uses NULL to detect unregistered shrinkers,
and we don't want the function sees NULL and clears the bit, otherwise
(a) won't work.
This is the only thing the patch makes: the better way to detect
registering shrinker. Nothing else this patch makes.
Also this gives a better assembler, but it's minor side of the patch:

In case of shrink_slab_memcg() we do not zero nid, when shrinker is not
numa-aware. This is not a real problem, since currently all memcg-aware
shrinkers are numa-aware too (we have two: super_block shrinker and
workingset shrinker), but something may change in the future.

To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab() for shrinkers, which
already do not have any charged objects in a memcg, their bits have to
be cleared.
This patch introduces a lockless mechanism to do that without races
without parallel list lru add. After do_shrink_slab() returns
SHRINK_EMPTY the first time, we clear the bit and call it once again.
Then we restore the bit, if the new return value is different.
Note, that single smp_mb__after_atomic() in shrink_slab_memcg() covers
two situations:
1)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg
list_add_tail() for_each_set_bit() <--- read bit
do_shrink_slab() <--- missed list update (no barrier)
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab() <--- seen list update
This situation, when the first do_shrink_slab() sees set bit, but it
doesn't see list update (i.e., race with the first element queueing), is
rare. So we don't add <MB> before the first call of do_shrink_slab()
instead of this to do not slow down generic case. Also, it's need the
second call as seen in below in (2).
2)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg()
list_add_tail() ...
set_bit() ...
... for_each_set_bit()
do_shrink_slab() do_shrink_slab()
clear_bit() ...
... ...
list_lru_add() ...
list_add_tail() clear_bit()
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab()
The barriers guarantee that the second do_shrink_slab() in the right
side task sees list update if really cleared the bit. This case is
drawn in the code comment.

We need to distinguish the situations when shrinker has very small
amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio() called from
super_cache_count()), and when it has no objects at all. Currently, in
the both of these cases, shrinker::count_objects() returns 0.
The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value, which will be used
for "no objects at all" case. It's is a refactoring mostly, as
SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this
patch, and all the magic will happen in further.

Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg
shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers
bitmap. To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and
!memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen via
for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap. In case of big nodes, having many
isolated environments, this gives significant performance growth. See
next patches for the details.
Note that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers, since we
never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once. Their shrinkers will
be called again, with no shrinked objects as result. This functionality
is provided by next patches.

Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers. Let
we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts, and 10 cgroups.
All container tasks don't touch foreign containers mounts. If there is
intensive pages write, and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to
iterate over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go to
shrink_page_list().
Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive: the task has to
visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since there are
2000 memcgs, the total calls are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000.
So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls just to try to
isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one of the actively writing memcg via
shrink_page_list(). I've observed a node spending almost 100% in
kernel, making useless iteration over already shrinked slab.
This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg. The size of
the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during memcg life it's
maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids shrinkers. Every bit in
the map is related to corresponding shrinker id.
Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged memcg. This
will allow shrink_slab() to increase its performance in significant way.
See the last patch for the numbers.

Introduce shrinker::id number, which is used to enumerate memcg-aware
shrinkers. The number start from 0, and the code tries to maintain it
as small as possible.
This will be used to represent a memcg-aware shrinkers in memcg
shrinkers map.
Since all memcg-aware shrinkers are based on list_lru, which is
per-memcg in case of !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM only, the new functionality will
be under this config option.

Use smaller scan_control fields for order, priority, and reclaim_idx.
Convert fields from int => s8. All easily fit within a byte:
- allocation order range: 0..MAX_ORDER(64?)
- priority range: 0..12(DEF_PRIORITY)
- reclaim_idx range: 0..6(__MAX_NR_ZONES)
Since 6538b8ea88 ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") x86_64 stack
overflows are not an issue. But it's inefficient to use ints.
Use s8 (signed byte) rather than u8 to allow for loops like:
do {
...
} while (--sc.priority >= 0);
Add BUILD_BUG_ON to verify that s8 is capable of storing max values.
This reduces sizeof(struct scan_control):
- 96 => 80 bytes (x86_64)
- 68 => 56 bytes (i386)
scan_control structure field order is changed to utilize padding. After
this patch there is 1 bit of scan_control padding.
akpm: makes my vmscan.o's .text 572 bytes smaller as well.

Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory
protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows
protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim.
But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as
there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless
against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This
is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory
soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking
application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only
effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to
invoke the OOM killer.
It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW
events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism
to provide stronger guarantees.
This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory
controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same
hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no
more reclaimable memory in the system.
If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise
even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory,
and the system can stall.

While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

and the original behaviour.
Although anonymous pages are not marked PageDirty at first, we have an
old habit of calling SetPageDirty when a page is removed from swap
cache: so there's a category of ex-swap pages that are easily
migratable, but were inadvertently excluded from compaction's async
migration in 4.16.

syzbot is catching so many bugs triggered by commit 9ee332d99e
("sget(): handle failures of register_shrinker()"). That commit expected
that calling kill_sb() from deactivate_locked_super() without successful
fill_super() is safe, but the reality was different; some callers assign
attributes which are needed for kill_sb() after sget() succeeds.
For example, [1] is a report where sb->s_mode (which seems to be either
FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL | FMODE_WRITE or FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL) is not
assigned unless sget() succeeds. But it does not worth complicate sget()
so that register_shrinker() failure path can safely call
kill_block_super() via kill_sb(). Making alloc_super() fail if memory
allocation for register_shrinker() failed is much simpler. Let's avoid
calling deactivate_locked_super() from sget_userns() by preallocating
memory for the shrinker and making register_shrinker() in sget_userns()
never fail.

Commit a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") added per-cpu drift to all memory cgroup stats
and events shown in memory.stat and memory.events.
For memory.stat this is acceptable. But memory.events issues file
notifications, and somebody polling the file for changes will be
confused when the counters in it are unchanged after a wakeup.
Luckily, the events in memory.events - MEMCG_LOW, MEMCG_HIGH, MEMCG_MAX,
MEMCG_OOM - are sufficiently rare and high-level that we don't need
per-cpu buffering for them: MEMCG_HIGH and MEMCG_MAX would be the most
frequent, but they're counting invocations of reclaim, which is a
complex operation that touches many shared cachelines.
This splits memory.events from the generic VM events and tracks them in
their own, unbuffered atomic counters. That's also cleaner, as it
eliminates the ugly enum nesting of VM and cgroup events.

memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in
cgroup and its children. PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep
congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem
pages. But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all
direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested(). Note that only kswapd
have powers to clear any of these bits. This might just never happen if
cgroup limits configured that way. So all direct reclaims will stall as
long as we have some congested bdi in the system.
Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd. kswapd scans the whole
pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus
it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd.
Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these
flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags. I'm
less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and
more worried about the case when it falsely set. If direct reclaimer
sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion
problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It
seems like there is no such guarantee. E.g. direct reclaimers may
eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see
wakeup_kswapd()).
Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim
now loses its congestion throttling mechanism. Add per-cgroup
congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in
congestion state.
Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY
bits since they alter only kswapd behavior.
The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in
one cgroup:
echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester
echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs
/* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
....
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
and some job in another cgroup:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim
echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 10m15.054s
user 0m0.487s
sys 1m8.505s
According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50%
of the time sleeping there.
With the patch, cat don't waste time anymore:
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 5m32.911s
user 0m0.411s
sys 0m56.664s

We have separate LRU list for each memory cgroup. Memory reclaim
iterates over cgroups and calls shrink_inactive_list() every inactive
LRU list. Based on the state of a single LRU shrink_inactive_list() may
flag the whole node as dirty,congested or under writeback. This is
obviously wrong and hurtful. It's especially hurtful when we have
possibly small congested cgroup in system. Than *all* direct reclaims
waste time by sleeping in wait_iff_congested(). And the more memcgs in
the system we have the longer memory allocation stall is, because
wait_iff_congested() called on each lru-list scan.
Sum reclaim stats across all visited LRUs on node and flag node as
dirty, congested or under writeback based on that sum. Also call
congestion_wait(), wait_iff_congested() once per pgdat scan, instead of
once per lru-list scan.
This only fixes the problem for global reclaim case. Per-cgroup reclaim
may alter global pgdat flags too, which is wrong. But that is separate
issue and will be addressed in the next patch.
This change will not have any effect on a systems with all workload
concentrated in a single cgroup.

Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too
many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed.
This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high-
order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for
background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or
reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to
reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up.
When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be
woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order
allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even
when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

When page_mapping() is called and the mapping is dereferenced in
page_evicatable() through shrink_active_list(), it is possible for the
inode to be truncated and the embedded address space to be freed at the
same time. This may lead to the following race.
CPU1 CPU2
truncate(inode) shrink_active_list()
... page_evictable(page)
truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
delete_from_page_cache(page)
spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
__delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
page_cache_tree_delete(..)
... mapping = page_mapping(page);
page->mapping = NULL;
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
put_page(page)
if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space
mapping_unevictable(mapping)
test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE, &mapping->flags);
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.
Similar race exists between swap cache freeing and page_evicatable()
too.
The address_space in inode and swap cache will be freed after a RCU
grace period. So the races are fixed via enclosing the page_mapping()

Commit 726d061fbd ("mm: vmscan: kick flushers when we encounter dirty
pages on the LRU") added flusher invocation to shrink_inactive_list()
when many dirty pages on the LRU are encountered.
However, shrink_inactive_list() doesn't wake up flushers for legacy
cgroup reclaim, so the next commit bbef938429 ("mm: vmscan: remove old
flusher wakeup from direct reclaim path") removed the only source of
flusher's wake up in legacy mem cgroup reclaim path.
This leads to premature OOM if there is too many dirty pages in cgroup:

Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects
address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and
__isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows
CPU1 CPU2
truncate(inode) __isolate_lru_page()
...
truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
delete_from_page_cache(page)
spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
__delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
page_cache_tree_delete(..)
... mapping = page_mapping(page);
page->mapping = NULL;
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
put_page(page)
if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space
if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage)
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.
The race is theoretically possible but unlikely. Before the
delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is
likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only
caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page. Even if the race
occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window
with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual
machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical
window.
This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the
page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not
acquired. There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a
side-effect to prevent mapping being freed. However, I do not like the
solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and
it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.

Shakeel Butt reported he has observed in production systems that the job
loader gets stuck for 10s of seconds while doing a mount operation. It
turns out that it was stuck in register_shrinker() because some
unrelated job was under memory pressure and was spending time in
shrink_slab(). Machines have a lot of shrinkers registered and jobs
under memory pressure have to traverse all of those memcg-aware
shrinkers and affect unrelated jobs which want to register their own
shrinkers.
To solve the issue, this patch simply bails out slab shrinking if it is
found that someone wants to register a shrinker in parallel. A downside
is it could cause unfair shrinking between shrinkers. However, it
should be rare and we can add compilcated logic if we find it's not
enough.

Previously we were using the ratio of the number of lru pages scanned to
the number of eligible lru pages to determine the number of slab objects
to scan. The problem with this is that these two things have nothing to
do with each other, so in slab heavy work loads where there is little to
no page cache we can end up with the pages scanned being a very low
number. This means that we reclaim next to no slab pages and waste a
lot of time reclaiming small amounts of space.
Consider the following scenario, where we have the following values and
the rest of the memory usage is in slab
Active: 58840 kB
Inactive: 46860 kB
Every time we do a get_scan_count() we do this
scan = size >> sc->priority
where sc->priority starts at DEF_PRIORITY, which is 12. The first loop
through reclaim would result in a scan target of 2 pages to 11715 total
inactive pages, and 3 pages to 14710 total active pages. This is a
really really small target for a system that is entirely slab pages.
And this is super optimistic, this assumes we even get to scan these
pages. We don't increment sc->nr_scanned unless we 1) isolate the page,
which assumes it's not in use, and 2) can lock the page. Under pressure
these numbers could probably go down, I'm sure there's some random pages
from daemons that aren't actually in use, so the targets get even
smaller.
Instead use sc->priority in the same way we use it to determine scan
amounts for the lru's. This generally equates to pages. Consider the
following
slab_pages = (nr_objects * object_size) / PAGE_SIZE
What we would like to do is
scan = slab_pages >> sc->priority
but we don't know the number of slab pages each shrinker controls, only
the objects. However say that theoretically we knew how many pages a
shrinker controlled, we'd still have to convert this to objects, which
would look like the following
scan = shrinker_pages >> sc->priority
scan_objects = (PAGE_SIZE / object_size) * scan
or written another way
scan_objects = (shrinker_pages >> sc->priority) *
(PAGE_SIZE / object_size)
which can thus be written
scan_objects = ((shrinker_pages * PAGE_SIZE) / object_size) >>
sc->priority
which is just
scan_objects = nr_objects >> sc->priority
We don't need to know exactly how many pages each shrinker represents,
it's objects are all the information we need. Making this change allows
us to place an appropriate amount of pressure on the shrinker pools for
their relative size.

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

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

When swapping out THP (Transparent Huge Page), instead of swapping out
the THP as a whole, sometimes we have to fallback to split the THP into
normal pages before swapping, because no free swap clusters are
available, or cgroup limit is exceeded, etc. To count the number of the
fallback, a new VM event THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK is added, and counted when
we fallback to split the THP.

In this patch, splitting transparent huge page (THP) during swapping out
is delayed from after adding the THP into the swap cache to after
swapping out finishes. After the patch, more operations for the
anonymous THP reclaiming, such as writing the THP to the swap device,
removing the THP from the swap cache could be batched. So that the
performance of anonymous THP swapping out could be improved.
This is the second step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay
splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about
5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing)
reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

Tetsuo Handa has reported[1][2][3] that direct reclaimers might get
stuck in too_many_isolated loop basically for ever because the last few
pages on the LRU lists are isolated by the kswapd which is stuck on fs
locks when doing the pageout or slab reclaim. This in turn means that
there is nobody to actually trigger the oom killer and the system is
basically unusable.
too_many_isolated has been introduced by commit 35cd78156c ("vmscan:
throttle direct reclaim when too many pages are isolated already") to
prevent from pre-mature oom killer invocations because back then no
reclaim progress could indeed trigger the OOM killer too early.
But since the oom detection rework in commit 0a0337e0d1 ("mm, oom:
rework oom detection") the allocation/reclaim retry loop considers all
the reclaimable pages and throttles the allocation at that layer so we
can loosen the direct reclaim throttling.
Make shrink_inactive_list loop over too_many_isolated bounded and
returns immediately when the situation hasn't resolved after the first
sleep.
Replace congestion_wait by a simple schedule_timeout_interruptible
because we are not really waiting on the IO congestion in this path.
Please note that this patch can theoretically cause the OOM killer to
trigger earlier while there are many pages isolated for the reclaim
which makes progress only very slowly. This would be obvious from the
oom report as the number of isolated pages are printed there. If we
ever hit this should_reclaim_retry should consider those numbers in the
evaluation in one way or another.

Some shrinkers may only be able to free a bunch of objects at a time,
and so free more than the requested nr_to_scan in one pass.
Whilst other shrinkers may find themselves even unable to scan as many
objects as they counted, and so underreport. Account for the extra
freed/scanned objects against the total number of objects we intend to
scan, otherwise we may end up penalising the slab far more than
intended. Similarly, we want to add the underperforming scan to the
deferred pass so that we try harder and harder in future passes.

A while ago someone, and I cannot find the email just now, asked if we
could not implement the RECLAIM_FS inversion stuff with a 'fake' lock
like we use for other things like workqueues etc. I think this should
be possible which allows reducing the 'irq' states and will reduce the
amount of __bfs() lookups we do.
Removing the 1 IRQ state results in 4 less __bfs() walks per
dependency, improving lockdep performance. And by moving this
annotation out of the lockdep code it becomes easier for the mm people
to extend.

__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.
Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
aggressive reclaim
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
the request is a performance optimization and there is another
fallback for a slow path.
- (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
context with an expensive slow path fallback.
- GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
_default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
(e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
is not invoked.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
won't be triggered.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.
Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic. No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.
This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

The purpose of the code that commit 623762517e ("revert 'mm: vmscan:
do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low'") reintroduces is
to prefer swapping anonymous memory rather than trashing the file lru.
If the anonymous inactive lru for the set of eligible zones is
considered low, however, or the length of the list for the given reclaim
priority does not allow for effective anonymous-only reclaiming, then
avoid forcing SCAN_ANON. Forcing SCAN_ANON will end up thrashing the
small list and leave unreclaimed memory on the file lrus.
If the inactive list is insufficient, fallback to balanced reclaim so
the file lru doesn't remain untouched.

Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats"
Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page
cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec
level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that
allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then
switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab
accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API.
I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually
substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller
when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM
accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his
slab reclaim work on, so here goes.
This patch (of 5):
To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the
slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was
moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not
the zone, and the memcg.
We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps
its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels -
which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it
simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore
the per-zone counters.

Track the following reclaim counters for every memory cgroup: PGREFILL,
PGSCAN, PGSTEAL, PGACTIVATE, PGDEACTIVATE, PGLAZYFREE and PGLAZYFREED.
These values are exposed using the memory.stats interface of cgroup v2.
The meaning of each value is the same as for global counters, available
using /proc/vmstat.
Also, for consistency, rename mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() to
count_memcg_event_mm().

If there is no compound map for a THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that the map count of some sub-pages of the THP is 0. So it is
better to split the THP before swapping out. In this way, the sub-pages
not mapped will be freed, and we can avoid the unnecessary swap out
operations for these sub-pages.

To swap out THP (Transparent Huage Page), before splitting the THP, the
swap cluster will be allocated and the THP will be added into the swap
cache. But it is possible that the THP cannot be split, so that we must
delete the THP from the swap cache and free the swap cluster. To avoid
that, in this patch, whether the THP can be split is checked firstly.
The check can only be done racy, but it is good enough for most cases.
With the patch, the swap out throughput improves 3.6% (from about
4.16GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
