commit 4fca9730c51d51f643f2a3f8f10ebd718349c80f upstream

Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear
scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier.  This
patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages.  The
more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride
until a pageblock with free pages is found.  The scanners might meet
slightly sooner but it is an acceptable risk given that the search of
the free lists may still encounter the pages and adjust the cached PFN
of the free scanner accordingly.

      mm, compaction: round-robin the order while searching the free lists for a target · 0752a8ac
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      to #26255339

commit dbe2d4e4f12e07c6a2215e3603a5f77056323081 upstream

As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list
search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction
targets.  Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration
scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails.  This
patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be
ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets.

The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases
where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where
many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full
instead of being properly packed.  Previous testing had indicated that
without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free
scanner without this patch.

      由 Mel Gorman 提交于

commit d097a6f63522547dfc7c75c7084a05b6a7f9e838 upstream

The fast isolation of free pages allows the cached PFN of the free
scanner to advance faster than necessary depending on the contents of
the free list.  The key is that fast_isolate_freepages() can update
zone->compact_cached_free_pfn via isolate_freepages_block().  When the
fast search fails, the linear scan can start from a point that has
skipped valid migration targets, particularly pageblocks with just
low-order free pages.  This can cause the migration source/target
scanners to meet prematurely causing a reset.

This patch starts by avoiding an update of the pageblock skip
information and cached PFN from isolate_freepages_block() and puts the
responsibility of updating that information in the callers.  The fast
scanner will update the cached PFN if and only if it finds a block that
is higher than the existing cached PFN and sets the skip if the
pageblock is full or nearly full.  The linear scanner will update
skipped information and the cached PFN only when a block is completely
scanned.  The total impact is that the free scanner advances more slowly
as it is primarily driven by the linear scanner instead of the fast
search.

The impact to latency is higher than the last version but it appears to
be due to a slight increase in the free scan rates which is a potential
side-effect of the patch.  However, this is necessary for later patches
that are more careful about how pageblocks are treated as earlier
iterations of those patches hit corner cases where the restarts were
punishing and very visible.

commit cf66f0700c8f1d7c7c1c1d7e5e846a1836814601 upstream

Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
eventually need to be rescheduled.  This is treated as an abort event
but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
allocator.  This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
but continue the scanning.

The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
time or the machine is over-saturated.  It also avoids an unnecessary
exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
the outer loop.

      to #26255339

commit 8854c55f54bcc104e3adae42abe16948286ec75c upstream

Migrate has separate cached PFNs for ASYNC and SYNC* migration on the
basis that some migrations will fail in ASYNC mode.  However, if the
cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped
due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not
matter.  This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock
with isolation candidates is found.

The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the
async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless
work.  Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted
recently.

      to #26255339

commit 9bebefd59084af7c75b66eeee241bf0777f39b88 upstream

When scanning for sources or targets, PageCompound is checked for huge
pages as they can be skipped quickly but it happens relatively late
after a lot of setup and checking.  This patch short-cuts the check to
make it earlier.  It might still change when the lock is acquired but
this has less overhead overall.  The free scanner advances but the
migration scanner does not.  Typically the free scanner encounters more
movable blocks that change state over the lifetime of the system and
also tends to scan more aggressively as it's actively filling its
portion of the physical address space with data.  This could change in
the future but for the moment, this worked better in practice and
incurred fewer scan restarts.

The impact on latency and allocation success rates is marginal but the
free scan rates are reduced by 15% and system CPU usage is reduced by
3.3%.  The 2-socket results are not materially different.

commit cb2dcaf023c2cf12d45289c82d4030d33f7df73e upstream

Async migration aborts on spinlock contention but contention can be high
when there are multiple compaction attempts and kswapd is active.  The
consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while
still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration
sources behind.

This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs.  When
it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for
that block and then abort.  This will have a variable impact on latency
as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a
lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended
pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase
latency).

      to #26255339

commit 804d3121ba5f03af0ab225e2f688ee3ee669c0d2 upstream

Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner.  Due
to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete.  The
pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
times.  Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.

This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned.  If so, then the
entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation.  This narrows the
race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping.  On the second
rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
progress.

Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
corner case was not hit.  A previous run of the same patch based on an
earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.

The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
migration/free scanner did not happen in this case.  When it does
happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

commit 5a811889de10f1ebb8e03a2744be006e909c405c upstream

Similar to the migration scanner, this patch uses the free lists to
quickly locate a migration target.  The search is different in that
lower orders will be searched for a suitable high PFN if necessary but
the search is still bound.  This is justified on the grounds that the
free scanner typically scans linearly much more than the migration
scanner.

If a free page is found, it is isolated and compaction continues if
enough pages were isolated.  For SYNC* scanning, the full pageblock is
scanned for any remaining free pages so that is can be marked for
skipping in the near future.

      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      to #26255339

commit e380bebe4771548df9bece8b7ad9dab07d9158a6 upstream

Due to either a fast search of the free list or a linear scan, it is
possible for multiple compaction instances to pick the same pageblock
for migration.  This is lucky for one scanner and increased scanning for
all the others.  It also allows a race between requests on which first
allocates the resulting free block.

This patch tests and updates the pageblock skip for the migration
scanner carefully.  When isolating a block, it will check and skip if
the block is already in use.  Once the zone lock is acquired, it will be
rechecked so that only one scanner can set the pageblock skip for
exclusive use.  Any scanner contending will continue with a linear scan.
The skip bit is still set if no pages can be isolated in a range.  While
this may result in redundant scanning, it avoids unnecessarily acquiring
the zone lock when there are no suitable migration sources.

commit 70b44595eafe9c7c235f076d653a268ca1ab9fdb upstream

The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
search space.  Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
migrate.  These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
and the cost accumulates.

The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP.  It
prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
block.  The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
fails.  After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
search will not encounter the same page.  If the search fails then the
subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.

If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases.  Small
free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.

commit fd1444b2729289ea3ef6b6096be604f8983e9f9f upstream

When pageblocks get fragmented, watermarks are artifically boosted to
reclaim pages to avoid further fragmentation events.  However,
compaction is often either fragmentation-neutral or moving movable pages
away from unmovable/reclaimable pages.  As the true watermarks are
preserved, allow compaction to ignore the boost factor.

The expected impact is very slight as the main benefit is that
compaction is slightly more likely to succeed when the system has been
fragmented very recently.  On both 1-socket and 2-socket machines for
THP-intensive allocation during fragmentation the success rate was
increased by less than 1% which is marginal.  However, detailed tracing
indicated that failure of migration due to a premature ENOMEM triggered
by watermark checks were eliminated.

commit efe771c7603bc524425070d651e70e9c56c57f28 upstream

When compaction is finishing, it uses a flag to ensure the pageblock is
complete but it makes sense to always complete migration of a pageblock.
Minimally, skip information is based on a pageblock and partially
scanned pageblocks may incur more scanning in the future.  The pageblock
skip handling also becomes more strict later in the series and the hint
is more useful if a complete pageblock was always scanned.

The potentially impacts latency as more scanning is done but it's not a
consistent win or loss as the scanning is not always a high percentage
of the pageblock and sometimes it is offset by future reductions in
scanning.  Hence, the results are not presented this time due to a
misleading mix of gains/losses without any clear pattern.  However, full
scanning of the pageblock is important for later patches.

commit 806031bb5ec36ed879d64249d5a5cf9c6657f89d upstream

Pages with no migration handler use a fallback handler which sometimes
works and sometimes persistently retries.  A historical example was
blockdev pages but there are others such as odd refcounting when
page->private is used.  These are retried multiple times which is
wasteful during compaction so this patch will fail migration faster
unless the caller specifies MIGRATE_SYNC.

This is not expected to help THP allocation success rates but it did
reduce latencies very slightly in some cases.

commit 40cacbcb324036233a927418441323459d28d19b upstream

A zone parameter is passed into a number of top-level compaction
functions despite the fact that it's already in compact_control.  This
is harmless but it did need an audit to check if zone actually ever
changes meaningfully.  This patches removes the parameter in a number of
top-level functions.  The change could be much deeper but this was
enough to briefly clarify the flow.

No functional change.

The last_migrated_pfn field is a bit dubious as to whether it really
helps but either way, the information from it can be inferred without
increasing the size of compact_control so remove the field.

commit c5943b9c5312d4fa23175ff146e901b865e4a60a upstream

compact_control spans two cache lines with write-intensive lines on
both.  Rearrange so the most write-intensive fields are in the same
cache line.  This has a negligible impact on the overall performance of
compaction and is more a tidying exercise than anything.

commit c5fbd937b603885f1db3280ca212ed28add895bc upstream

Patch series "Increase success rates and reduce latency of compaction", v3.

This series reduces scan rates and success rates of compaction,
primarily by using the free lists to shorten scans, better controlling
of skip information and whether multiple scanners can target the same
block and capturing pageblocks before being stolen by parallel requests.
The series is based on mmotm from January 9th, 2019 with the previous
compaction series reverted.

I'm mostly using thpscale to measure the impact of the series.  The
benchmark creates a large file, maps it, faults it, punches holes in the
mapping so that the virtual address space is fragmented and then tries
to allocate THP.  It re-executes for different numbers of threads.  From
a fragmentation perspective, the workload is relatively benign but it
does stress compaction.

The overall impact on latencies for a 1-socket machine is

				      baseline		      patches

The allocation success rates are much improved

			 	 baseline		 patches

Percentage huge-5        88.27 (   0.00%)       96.87 (   9.74%)

Percentage huge-24       81.41 (   0.00%)       97.35 (  19.57%)
Percentage huge-30       80.98 (   0.00%)       98.05 (  21.08%)
Percentage huge-32       80.53 (   0.00%)       97.06 (  20.53%)

That's a nearly perfect allocation success rate.

The biggest impact is on the scan rates

Compaction migrate scanned    55893379    19341254
Compaction free scanned      474739990    11903963

The number of pages scanned for migration was reduced by 65% and the
free scanner was reduced by 97.5%.  So much less work in exchange for
lower latency and better success rates.

The series was also evaluated using a workload that heavily fragments
memory but the benefits there are also significant, albeit not
presented.

It was commented that we should be rethinking scanning entirely and to a
large extent I agree.  However, to achieve that you need a lot of this
series in place first so it's best to make the linear scanners as best
as possible before ripping them out.

This patch (of 22):

The isolate and migrate scanners should never isolate more than a
pageblock of pages so unsigned int is sufficient saving 8 bytes on a
64-bit build.

This reverts commit 4d8bdf7f.

The commit was backported from v5.4 to stable tree, but it breaks the
context depended by backporting compaction optimization made in v5.1.
So revert this commit for now, the commit will be re-applied after the
compaction optimization series.
