Calling swapon() on a zero length swap file on SSD can lead to a
divide-by-zero.

Although creating such files isn't possible with mkswap and they woud be
considered invalid, it would be better for the swapon code to be more
robust and handle this condition gracefully (return -EINVAL).
Especially since the fix is small and straightforward.

To help with wear leveling on SSD, the swapon syscall calculates a
random position in the swap file using modulo p->highest_bit, which is
set to maxpages - 1 in read_swap_header.

If the swap file is zero length, read_swap_header sets maxpages=1 and
last_page=0, resulting in p->highest_bit=0 and we divide-by-zero when we
modulo p->highest_bit in swapon syscall.

This can be prevented by having read_swap_header return zero if
last_page is zero.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*

    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

When SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO swapped-in pages are shared by several
processes, it can cause unnecessary memory wastage by skipping swap
cache.  Because, with swapin fault by read, they could share a page if
the page were in swap cache.  Thus, it avoids allocating same content
new pages.

This patch makes the swapcache skipping work only if the swap pte is
non-sharable.

With fast swap storage, the platforms want to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.

The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage.  When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4
decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%.  Maybe, it would be
bigger in nvdimm.

This patch aims to reduce swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the
swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device.  It
enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead, from
2.41sec to 1.64sec).

One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.

If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map.  And the pages are linked with page->lru.  This is called
swap count continuation.  To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used.  But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now.  This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.

The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.

To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list.  This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used.  Which is
considered rare in practice.  If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.

The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin.  This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e.  for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices.  Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.

The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards.  The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high.  The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.

Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3

After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.

Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:4

New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:3     prio:4     prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB   -> swapA   -> swapC   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:2     prio:4     prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC   -> swapA   -> swapB   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD   -> swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC
prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:4

To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:

VMA based swap readahead will readahead the virtual pages that is

device.  Although VMA based swap readahead is more correct for the swap
slots to be readahead, it will trigger more small random readings, which
may cause the performance of HDD (hard disk) to degrade heavily, and may
finally exceed the benefit.

To avoid the issue, in this patch, if the HDD is used as swap, the VMA

will be used instead.

After adding swapping out support for THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that a THP in swap cache (partly swapped out) need to be split.
To split such a THP, the swap cluster backing the THP need to be split
too, that is, the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE flag need to be cleared for the swap
cluster.  The patch implemented this.

And because the THP swap writing needs the THP keeps as huge page during
writing.  The PageWriteback flag is checked before splitting.

In the huge PMD write protect fault handler, in addition to the page map

The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE.  But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later.  So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE.  In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.

To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page).  Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now.  After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared.  So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

Patch series "mm, THP, swap: Delay splitting THP after swapped out", v3.

This is the second step of THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap
optimization.  In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache.  In the second
step, the splitting is delayed further to after the swapping out
finished.  The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally
avoid splitting THP for the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as
a whole.

In the patchset, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such
as TLB flushing, writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP
from the swap cache are batched.  So that the performance of anonymous
THP swapping out are improved.

During the development, the following scenarios/code paths have been
checked,

 - swap out/in
 - swap off
 - write protect page fault
 - madvise_free
 - process exit
 - split huge page

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.

Below is the part of the cover letter for the first step patchset of THP
swap optimization which applies to all steps.

=========================

Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine.  Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU.  And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future.  On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size.  So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.

The advantages of the THP swap support include:

 - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce TLB flushing and lock
   acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
   adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
   space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.

 - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
   particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
   IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.

 - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
   heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
   free up after THP swapping out.

 - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
   turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
   pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
   swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
   collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
   utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
   too.

There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device.  To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary.

For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be
turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with
MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.

This patch (of 12):

Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of
shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split.  In this patch, it is
enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap
cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out.

This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out support.
Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet, after
clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP swapped
out will be split.  So that the swap slots in the swap cluster can be
swapped in as normal pages later.

For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of
context switch.  block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves
performance and latency a lot.  swapin is a good place to use this
technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue
execution.

In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is
about 60% better than that without poll.  With iopoll support in swapin
patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about
10%~25% faster.  CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x
CPU utilization.  This will depend on disk speed.

While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win
for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk.  block layer
has knob to control poll in runtime.  If poll isn't enabled in block
layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin.

I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media.
In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread
test and ~20% in 8 threads test.  So this is the base line.  In above
swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test.
blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though.

If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop
but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll.  Also we can
adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is
reduced further.  In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though.  The
performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is
similar too.  There is lock contention in swap path.  The cpu time
spending on blkpoll isn't high.  So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse
than that without it.

The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and
form a big IO request.  Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't
make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page
swapin.

To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing
swap entry.  The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU
buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch.  During the batch
freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs
to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be
acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be
reduced greatly.  But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible
that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap
entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the
per-CPU buffer.

To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap
device before freeing the swap entries.

With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6%
(from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with
16 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
swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write
to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used
up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.

Now, get_swap_page takes struct page and allocates swap space according
to page size(ie, normal or THP) so it would be more cleaner to introduce
put_swap_page which is a counter function of get_swap_page.  Then, it
calls right swap slot free function depending on page's size.

Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.

This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.

Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine.  Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU.  And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future.  On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size.  So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.

The advantages of the THP swap support include:

 - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
   acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
   adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
   space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.

 - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
   particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
   IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.

 - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
   heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
   free up after THP swapping out.

 - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
   turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
   pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
   swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
   collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
   utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
   too.

There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device.  To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary.  For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.

This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support.  The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.

As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache.  This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.

With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/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.

This patch (of 5):

In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache.  This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.

This is the first step for the THP swap optimization.  The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.

In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out.  So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512).  For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture.  In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64.  Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented.  So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory.  The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.

In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.

The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.

The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP.  A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster.  The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead.  This works good enough for normal cases.  If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary.  For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.

The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages.  This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree.  But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.

The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out.  The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP.  So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.

The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc.  Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc.  So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.

In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term.  And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.

From Dave Hansen:
 "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
  effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
  and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
  *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
  only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
  fragmentation.

The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.

The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it.  That makes it a little harder to change.

In swapcache_free_entries(), if swap_info_get_cont() returns NULL,
something wrong occurs for the swap entry.  But we should still continue
to free the following swap entries in the array instead of skip them to
avoid swap space leak.  This is just problem in error path, where system
may be in an inconsistent state, but it is still good to fix it.

Cluster lock is used to protect the swap_cluster_info and corresponding
elements in swap_info_struct->swap_map[].  But it is found that now in
scan_swap_map_slots(), swap_avail_lock may be acquired when cluster lock
is held.  This does no good except making the locking more complex and
improving the potential locking contention, because the
swap_info_struct->lock is used to protect the data structure operated in
the code already.  Fix this via moving the corresponding operations in
scan_swap_map_slots() out of cluster lock.

Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing
page information later.  But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock
(or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap
entry.  So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be
changed in another thread.  If the page swap count is not 0, we should
not delete the page from the swap cache.  This is fixed via checking
page swap count again after acquiring the page lock.

I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race
via a test program.  If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by
multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and
swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.
That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and
the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance
regression.

We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed
quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock.

Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap
slots returned.  This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the
global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with
other slots in a cluster.  We do not reuse the slots that are returned
right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots.

The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when
searching for empty slots in cache.  The swap free cache is protected by
a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path.

We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable
the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots
fall below a low watermark threshold.  We re-enable the cache agian when
the slots available are above a high watermark.

Add new functions that free unused swap slots in batches without the
need to reacquire swap info lock.  This improves scalability and reduce
lock contention.

Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing
contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every
page being swapped.

This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to
request multiple swap slots at once.  This will reduces the lock
contention on the swap_info lock.  Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate
more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each
other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

We can avoid needlessly allocating page for swap slots that are not used
by anyone.  No pages have to be read in for these slots.

The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache.  In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device.  And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical).  This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.

But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache.  So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention.  In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks.  64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.

The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.

One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks.  To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed.  The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M.  After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations.  swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously.  Because there is only one lock
for each swap device.  While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system.  The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.

In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array.  And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map.  So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.

In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info.  This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.

Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system.  This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.

Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info.  To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed.  So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible.  After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random.  So the
false sharing should be not serious.

Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%.  Test was 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 created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

Patch series "mm/swap: Regular page swap optimizations", v5.

Times have changed.  Coming generation of Solid state Block device
latencies are getting down to sub 100 usec, which is within an order of
magnitude of DRAM, and their performance is orders of magnitude higher
than the single- spindle rotational media we've swapped to historically.

This could benefit many usage scenearios.  For example cloud providers
who overcommit their memory (as VM don't use all the memory
provisioned).  Having a fast swap will allow them to be more aggressive
in memory overcommit and fit more VMs to a platform.

In our testing [see footnote], the median latency that the kernel adds
to a page fault is 15 usec, which comes quite close to the amount that
will be contributed by the underlying I/O devices.

The software latency comes mostly from contentions on the locks
protecting the radix tree of the swap cache and also the locks
protecting the individual swap devices.  The lock contentions already
consumed 35% of cpu cycles in our test.  In the very near future,
software latency will become the bottleneck to swap performnace as block
device I/O latency gets within the shouting distance of DRAM speed.

This patch set, reduced the median page fault latency from 15 usec to 4
usec (375% reduction) for DRAM based pmem block device.

This patch (of 9):

swap_info_get() is used not only in swap free code path but also in
page_swapcount(), etc.  So the original kernel message in swap_info_get()
is not correct now.  Fix it via replacing "swap_free" to "swap_info_get"
in the message.

With investigation, it reveals currently stable page doesn't support
anonymous page.  IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting
writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing.

Unfortunately, zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7.
It aims for increasing cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for
compressing. Downside of that approach is that zram should ask
memory space for compressed page in per-cpu context which requires
stricted gfp flag which could be failed. If so, it retries to
allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it could get memory
this time and compress the data again, copies it to the memory space.

In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed
but it is not true unless stable page supports. So, If the data is
changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second
compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial
and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is
buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining
so system goes crash like above.

I think below is same problem.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574

Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on
writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if
we found it needs stable page.  Although it increases memory footprint
temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug
it happened.  Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion,
which is critial path for application latency.
