kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of cpu/node online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node kmem_cache parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem hotplug. To protect against cpu hotplug, these functions use {get,put}_online_cpus. However, they do nothing to synchronize with memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex does not eliminate the possibility of race as described in patch 2. What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory. We already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but it's a bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex. As a result, it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not desirable, and can't be used just like get_online_cpus. That's why in patch 1 I substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly like get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug. [ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68. I NAK'ed it by myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems, making them dead lock prune. ] This patch (of 2): {un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a hammer - threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes mask won't be able to proceed concurrently. Also, it imposes some strong locking ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its usage scenarios. This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e. executing a code inside a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of online nodes, present pages, etc. lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

Prior to this change, we would decide whether to force scan a LRU during reclaim if that LRU itself was too small for the current priority. However, this can lead to the file LRU getting force scanned even if there are a lot of anonymous pages we can reclaim, leading to hot file pages getting needlessly reclaimed. To address this, we instead only force scan when none of the reclaimable LRUs are big enough. Gives huge improvements with zswap. For example, when doing -j20 kernel build in a 500MB container with zswap enabled, runtime (in seconds) is greatly reduced: x without this change + with this change N Min Max Median Avg Stddev x 5 700.997 790.076 763.928 754.05 39.59493 + 5 141.634 197.899 155.706 161.9 21.270224 Difference at 95.0% confidence -592.15 +/- 46.3521 -78.5293% +/- 6.14709% (Student's t, pooled s = 31.7819) Should also give some improvements in regular (non-zswap) swap cases. Yes, hughd found significant speedup using regular swap, with several memcgs under pressure; and it should also be effective in the non-memcg case, whenever one or another zone LRU is forced too small.

This reverts commit 0bf1457f ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and trap every allocating task in direct reclaim. The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at. The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim. This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure is obviously worse than the disease. Revert it.

Page reclaim force-scans / swaps anonymous pages when file cache drops below the high watermark of a zone in order to prevent what little cache remains from thrashing. However, on bigger machines the high watermark value can be quite large and when the workload is dominated by a static anonymous/shmem set, the file set might just be a small window of used-once cache. In such situations, the VM starts swapping heavily when instead it should be recycling the no longer used cache. This is a longer-standing problem, but it's more likely to trigger after commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") because file pages can no longer accumulate in a single zone and are dispersed into smaller fractions among the available zones. To resolve this, do not force scan anon when file pages are low but instead rely on the scan/rotation ratios to make the right prediction.

We abort direct reclaim if we find the zone is ready for compaction. Sometimes the zone is just a promoted highmem zone to force a scan of highmem, which is not the intended zone the caller want to allocate a page from. In this situation, setting aborted_reclaim to indicate the caller turned back to retry the allocation is waste of time and could cause a loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath(). This patch does not check compaction_ready() on promoted zones to avoid the above situation. Only set aborted_reclaim if the caller intended zone is ready for compaction.

The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists. One list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list. The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown to benefit from caching in the past. We call the recently usedbut ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for cache. This patch solves one half of the problem by decoupling the ability to detect working set changes from the inactive list size. By maintaining a history of recently evicted file pages it can detect frequently used pages with an arbitrarily small inactive list size, and subsequently apply pressure on the active list based on actual demand for cache, not just overall eviction speed. Every zone maintains a counter that tracks inactive list aging speed. When a page is evicted, a snapshot of this counter is stored in the now-empty page cache radix tree slot. On refault, the minimum access distance of the page can be assessed, to evaluate whether the page should be part of the active list or not. This fixes the VM's blindness towards working set changes in excess of the inactive list. And it's the foundation to further improve the protection ability and reduce the minimum inactive list size of 50%.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping. Whether that is good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem. In that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large portion of the cache pages to be dirtied. As kswapd starts rotating these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO. Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

When reclaiming kmem, we currently don't scan slabs that have less than batch_size objects (see shrink_slab_node()): while (total_scan >= batch_size) { shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = batch_size; shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl); total_scan -= batch_size; } If there are only a few shrinkers available, such a behavior won't cause any problems, because the batch_size is usually small, but if we have a lot of slab shrinkers, which is perfectly possible since FS shrinkers are now per-superblock, we can end up with hundreds of megabytes of practically unreclaimable kmem objects. For instance, mounting a thousand of ext2 FS images with a hundred of files in each and iterating over all the files using du(1) will result in about 200 Mb of FS caches that cannot be dropped even with the aid of the vm.drop_caches sysctl! This problem was initially pointed out by Glauber Costa [*]. Glauber proposed to fix it by making the shrink_slab() always take at least one pass, to put it simply, turning the scan loop above to a do{}while() loop. However, this proposal was rejected, because it could result in more aggressive and frequent slab shrinking even under low memory pressure when total_scan is naturally very small. This patch is a slightly modified version of Glauber's approach. Similarly to Glauber's patch, it makes shrink_slab() scan less than batch_size objects, but only if the total number of objects we want to scan (total_scan) is greater than the total number of objects available (max_pass). Since total_scan is biased as half max_pass if the current delta change is small: if (delta < max_pass / 4) total_scan = min(total_scan, max_pass / 2); this is only possible if we are scanning at high prio. That said, this patch shouldn't change the vmscan behaviour if the memory pressure is low, but if we are tight on memory, we will do our best by trying to reclaim all available objects, which sounds reasonable.

I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is quite useful to people debugging issues in mm. This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual BUG_ON.

Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated page list. The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA path. Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 IP: [<ffffffff810c2625>] shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 PGD 3cda2067 PUD 3d713067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 0 PID: 340 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 3.12.0-rc1-22626-g4367597 #87 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 RIP: shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 RSP: 0000:ffff88003da499b8 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88003e82bd60 RCX: 00000000000657d5 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 000000000000031f RDI: ffff88003e82bd40 RBP: ffff88003da49ab0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000081121a45 R10: ffffffff81121a45 R11: ffff88003c4a9a28 R12: ffff88003e82bd40 R13: ffff88003da0e800 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: ffff88003da49d58 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88003fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000067d9000 CR3: 000000003ace5000 CR4: 00000000000407b0 Call Trace: shrink_inactive_list+0x240/0x3de shrink_lruvec+0x3e0/0x566 __shrink_zone+0x94/0x178 shrink_zone+0x3a/0x82 balance_pgdat+0x32a/0x4c2 kswapd+0x2f0/0x372 kthread+0xa2/0xaa ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Code: 80 7d 8f 01 48 83 95 68 ff ff ff 00 4c 89 e7 e8 5a 7b 00 00 48 85 c0 49 89 c5 75 08 80 7d 8f 00 74 3e eb 31 48 8b 80 18 01 00 00 <48> 8b 74 0d 48 8b 78 30 be 02 00 00 00 ff d2 eb RIP [<ffffffff810c2625>] shrink_page_list+0x24e/0x897 RSP <ffff88003da499b8> CR2: 0000000000000028 ---[ end trace 703d2451af6ffbfd ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception This patch fixes the issue, by assuring the proper tests are made at putback_movable_pages() & reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() to avoid isolated balloon pages being wrongly reinserted in LRU lists.

shrink_zone starts with soft reclaim pass first and then falls back to regular reclaim if nothing has been scanned. This behavior is natural but there is a catch. Memcg iterators, when used with the reclaim cookie, are designed to help to prevent from over reclaim by interleaving reclaimers (per node-zone-priority) so the tree walk might miss many (even all) nodes in the hierarchy e.g. when there are direct reclaimers racing with each other or with kswapd in the global case or multiple allocators reaching the limit for the target reclaim case. To make it even more complicated, targeted reclaim doesn't do the whole tree walk because it stops reclaiming once it reclaims sufficient pages. As a result groups over the limit might be missed, thus nothing is scanned, and reclaim would fall back to the reclaim all mode. This patch checks for the incomplete tree walk in shrink_zone. If no group has been visited and the hierarchy is soft reclaimable then we must have missed some groups, in which case the __shrink_zone is called again. This doesn't guarantee there will be some progress of course because the current reclaimer might be still racing with others but it would at least give a chance to start the walk without a big risk of reclaim latencies.

mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim controls whether soft reclaim pass is done and it always says yes currently. Memcg iterators are clever to skip nodes that are not soft reclaimable quite efficiently but mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim can be more clever and do not start the soft reclaim pass at all if it knows that nothing would be scanned anyway. In order to do that, simply reuse mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible for the target group of the reclaim and allow the pass only if the whole subtree wouldn't be skipped.

The caller of the iterator might know that some nodes or even subtrees should be skipped but there is no way to tell iterators about that so the only choice left is to let iterators to visit each node and do the selection outside of the iterating code. This, however, doesn't scale well with hierarchies with many groups where only few groups are interesting. This patch adds mem_cgroup_iter_cond variant of the iterator with a callback which gets called for every visited node. There are three possible ways how the callback can influence the walk. Either the node is visited, it is skipped but the tree walk continues down the tree or the whole subtree of the current group is skipped.

Soft reclaim has been done only for the global reclaim (both background and direct). Since "memcg: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone shrinking code" there is no reason for this limitation anymore as the soft limit reclaim doesn't use any special code paths and it is a part of the zone shrinking code which is used by both global and targeted reclaims. From the semantic point of view it is natural to consider soft limit before touching all groups in the hierarchy tree which is touching the hard limit because soft limit tells us where to push back when there is a memory pressure. It is not important whether the pressure comes from the limit or imbalanced zones. This patch simply enables soft reclaim unconditionally in mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim so it is enabled for both global and targeted reclaim paths. mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible needs to learn about the root of the reclaim to know where to stop checking soft limit state of parents up the hierarchy. Say we have A (over soft limit) \ B (below s.l., hit the hard limit) / \ C D (below s.l.) B is the source of the outside memory pressure now for D but we shouldn't soft reclaim it because it is behaving well under B subtree and we can still reclaim from C (pressumably it is over the limit). mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible should therefore stop climbing up the hierarchy at B (root of the memory pressure).

This patchset is sitting out of tree for quite some time without any objections. I would be really happy if it made it into 3.12. I do not want to push it too hard but I think this work is basically ready and waiting more doesn't help. The basic idea is quite simple. Pull soft reclaim into shrink_zone in the first step and get rid of the previous soft reclaim infrastructure. shrink_zone is done in two passes now. First it tries to do the soft limit reclaim and it falls back to reclaim-all mode if no group is over the limit or no pages have been scanned. The second pass happens at the same priority so the only time we waste is the memcg tree walk which has been updated in the third step to have only negligible overhead. As a bonus we will get rid of a _lot_ of code by this and soft reclaim will not stand out like before when it wasn't integrated into the zone shrinking code and it reclaimed at priority 0 (the testing results show that some workloads suffers from such an aggressive reclaim). The clean up is in a separate patch because I felt it would be easier to review that way. The second step is soft limit reclaim integration into targeted reclaim. It should be rather straight forward. Soft limit has been used only for the global reclaim so far but it makes sense for any kind of pressure coming from up-the-hierarchy, including targeted reclaim. The third step (patches 4-8) addresses the tree walk overhead by enhancing memcg iterators to enable skipping whole subtrees and tracking number of over soft limit children at each level of the hierarchy. This information is updated same way the old soft limit tree was updated (from memcg_check_events) so we shouldn't see an additional overhead. In fact mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit is much simpler than tree manipulation done previously. __shrink_zone uses mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible as a predicate for mem_cgroup_iter so the decision whether a particular group should be visited is done at the iterator level which allows us to decide to skip the whole subtree as well (if there is no child in excess). This reduces the tree walk overhead considerably. * TEST 1 ======== My primary test case was a parallel kernel build with 2 groups (make is running with -j8 with a distribution .config in a separate cgroup without any hard limit) on a 32 CPU machine booted with 1GB memory and both builds run taskset to Node 0 cpus. I was mostly interested in 2 setups. Default - no soft limit set and - and 0 soft limit set to both groups. The first one should tell us whether the rework regresses the default behavior while the second one should show us improvements in an extreme case where both workloads are always over the soft limit. /usr/bin/time -v has been used to collect the statistics and each configuration had 3 runs after fresh boot without any other load on the system. base is mmotm-2013-07-18-16-40 rework all 8 patches applied on top of base * No-limit User no-limit/base: min: 651.92 max: 672.65 avg: 664.33 std: 8.01 runs: 6 no-limit/rework: min: 657.34 [100.8%] max: 668.39 [99.4%] avg: 663.13 [99.8%] std: 3.61 runs: 6 System no-limit/base: min: 69.33 max: 71.39 avg: 70.32 std: 0.79 runs: 6 no-limit/rework: min: 69.12 [99.7%] max: 71.05 [99.5%] avg: 70.04 [99.6%] std: 0.59 runs: 6 Elapsed no-limit/base: min: 398.27 max: 422.36 avg: 408.85 std: 7.74 runs: 6 no-limit/rework: min: 386.36 [97.0%] max: 438.40 [103.8%] avg: 416.34 [101.8%] std: 18.85 runs: 6 The results are within noise.

While this looks as a nice win it is fair to say that 0-limit configuration is quite artificial. So I was playing with 0-no-limit loads as well. * TEST 2 ======== The following results are from 2 groups configuration on a 16GB machine (single NUMA node). - A running stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=local.file bs=1024) with 2*TotalMem with 0 soft limit. - B running a mem_eater which consumes TotalMem-1G without any limit. The mem_eater consumes the memory in 100 chunks with 1s nap after each mmap+poppulate so that both loads have chance to fight for the memory. The expected result is that B shouldn't be reclaimed and A shouldn't see a big dropdown in elapsed time. User base: min: 2.68 max: 2.89 avg: 2.76 std: 0.09 runs: 3 rework: min: 3.27 [122.0%] max: 3.74 [129.4%] avg: 3.44 [124.6%] std: 0.21 runs: 3 System base: min: 86.26 max: 88.29 avg: 87.28 std: 0.83 runs: 3 rework: min: 81.05 [94.0%] max: 84.96 [96.2%] avg: 83.14 [95.3%] std: 1.61 runs: 3 Elapsed base: min: 317.28 max: 332.39 avg: 325.84 std: 6.33 runs: 3 rework: min: 281.53 [88.7%] max: 298.16 [89.7%] avg: 290.99 [89.3%] std: 6.98 runs: 3 System time improved slightly as well as Elapsed. My previous testing has shown worse numbers but this again seem to depend on the storage speed. My theory is that the writeback doesn't catch up and prio-0 soft reclaim falls into wait on writeback page too often in the base kernel. The patched kernel doesn't do that because the soft reclaim is done from the kswapd/direct reclaim context. This can be seen on the following graph nicely. The A's group usage_in_bytes regurarly drops really low very often. All 3 runs http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream.png resp. a detail of the single run http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream-one-run.png mem_eater seems to be doing better as well. It gets to the full allocation size faster as can be seen on the following graph: http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/mem_eater-one-run.png /proc/meminfo collected during the test also shows that rework kernel hasn't swapped that much (well almost not at all): base: max: 123900 K avg: 56388.29 K rework: max: 300 K avg: 128.68 K kswapd and direct reclaim statistics are of no use unfortunatelly because soft reclaim is not accounted properly as the counters are hidden by global_reclaim() checks in the base kernel. * TEST 3 ======== Another test was the same configuration as TEST2 except the stream IO was replaced by a single kbuild (16 parallel jobs bound to Node0 cpus same as in TEST1) and mem_eater allocated TotalMem-200M so kbuild had only 200MB left. Kbuild did better with the rework kernel here as well: User base: min: 860.28 max: 872.86 avg: 868.03 std: 5.54 runs: 3 rework: min: 880.81 [102.4%] max: 887.45 [101.7%] avg: 883.56 [101.8%] std: 2.83 runs: 3 System base: min: 84.35 max: 85.06 avg: 84.79 std: 0.31 runs: 3 rework: min: 85.62 [101.5%] max: 86.09 [101.2%] avg: 85.79 [101.2%] std: 0.21 runs: 3 Elapsed base: min: 135.36 max: 243.30 avg: 182.47 std: 45.12 runs: 3 rework: min: 110.46 [81.6%] max: 116.20 [47.8%] avg: 114.15 [62.6%] std: 2.61 runs: 3 Minor base: min: 36635476.00 max: 36673365.00 avg: 36654812.00 std: 15478.03 runs: 3 rework: min: 36639301.00 [100.0%] max: 36695541.00 [100.1%] avg: 36665511.00 [100.0%] std: 23118.23 runs: 3 Major base: min: 14708.00 max: 53328.00 avg: 31379.00 std: 16202.24 runs: 3 rework: min: 302.00 [2.1%] max: 414.00 [0.8%] avg: 366.33 [1.2%] std: 47.22 runs: 3 Again we can see a significant improvement in Elapsed (it also seems to be more stable), there is a huge dropdown for the Major page faults and much more swapping: base: max: 583736 K avg: 112547.43 K rework: max: 4012 K avg: 124.36 K Graphs from all three runs show the variability of the kbuild quite nicely. It even seems that it took longer after every run with the base kernel which would be quite surprising as the source tree for the build is removed and caches are dropped after each run so the build operates on a freshly extracted sources everytime. http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater.png My other testing shows that this is just a matter of timing and other runs behave differently the std for Elapsed time is similar ~50. Example of other three runs: http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater2.png So to wrap this up. The series is still doing good and improves the soft limit. The testing results for bunch of cgroups with both stream IO and kbuild loads can be found in "memcg: track children in soft limit excess to improve soft limit". This patch: Memcg soft reclaim has been traditionally triggered from the global reclaim paths before calling shrink_zone. mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim then picked up a group which exceeds the soft limit the most and reclaimed it with 0 priority to reclaim at least SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages. The infrastructure requires per-node-zone trees which hold over-limit groups and keep them up-to-date (via memcg_check_events) which is not cost free. Although this overhead hasn't turned out to be a bottle neck the implementation is suboptimal because mem_cgroup_update_tree has no idea which zones consumed memory over the limit so we could easily end up having a group on a node-zone tree having only few pages from that node-zone. This patch doesn't try to fix node-zone trees management because it seems that integrating soft reclaim into zone shrinking sounds much easier and more appropriate for several reasons. First of all 0 priority reclaim was a crude hack which might lead to big stalls if the group's LRUs are big and hard to reclaim (e.g. a lot of dirty/writeback pages). Soft reclaim should be applicable also to the targeted reclaim which is awkward right now without additional hacks. Last but not least the whole infrastructure eats quite some code. After this patch shrink_zone is done in 2 passes. First it tries to do the soft reclaim if appropriate (only for global reclaim for now to keep compatible with the original state) and fall back to ignoring soft limit if no group is eligible to soft reclaim or nothing has been scanned during the first pass. Only groups which are over their soft limit or any of their parents up the hierarchy is over the limit are considered eligible during the first pass. Soft limit tree which is not necessary anymore will be removed in the follow up patch to make this patch smaller and easier to review.

This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description, please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74. Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton enviroment. This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock: kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still not balanced. As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again to avoid infinite loop. Instead it changes order from high-order to 0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important. Look at 73ce02e9 in detail. If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0. It assume high-order users can still perform direct reclaim if they wish. Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on zone->all_unreclaimble= . This is because to avoid too early oom-kill. So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop. In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill the process. As described in: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737 We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy. Thus this patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates zone reclaimable state every time. Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable. Because, it is racy. commit 929bea7c (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

The goal of this patch series is to improve performance of munlock() of large mlocked memory areas on systems without THP. This is motivated by reported very long times of crash recovery of processes with such areas, where munlock() can take several seconds. See http://lwn.net/Articles/548108/ The work was driven by a simple benchmark (to be included in mmtests) that mmaps() e.g. 56GB with MAP_LOCKED | MAP_POPULATE and measures the time of munlock(). Profiling was performed by attaching operf --pid to the process and sending a signal to trigger the munlock() part and then notify bach the monitoring wrapper to stop operf, so that only munlock() appears in the profile. The profiles have shown that CPU time is spent mostly by atomic operations and repeated locking per single pages. This series aims to reduce both, starting from simpler to more complex changes. Patch 1 performs a simple cleanup in putback_lru_page() so that page lru base type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 2 removes an unnecessary call to lru_add_drain() which drains the per-cpu pagevec after each munlocked page is put there. Patch 3 changes munlock_vma_range() to use an on-stack pagevec for isolating multiple non-THP pages under a single lru_lock instead of locking and processing each page separately. Patch 4 changes the NR_MLOCK accounting to be called only once per the pvec introduced by previous patch. Patch 5 uses the introduced pagevec to batch also the work of putback_lru_page when possible, bypassing the per-cpu pvec and associated overhead. Patch 6 removes a redundant get_page/put_page pair which saves costly atomic operations. Patch 7 avoids calling follow_page_mask() on each individual page, and obtains multiple page references under a single page table lock where possible. Measurements were made using 3.11-rc3 as a baseline. The first set of measurements shows the possibly ideal conditions where batching should help the most. All memory is allocated from a single NUMA node and THP is disabled. timedmunlock 3.11-rc3 3.11-rc3 3.11-rc3 3.11-rc3 3.11-rc3 3.11-rc3 3.11-rc3 3.11-rc3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Elapsed min 3.38 ( 0.00%) 3.39 ( -0.13%) 3.00 ( 11.33%) 2.70 ( 20.20%) 2.67 ( 21.11%) 2.37 ( 29.88%) 2.20 ( 34.91%) 1.91 ( 43.59%) Elapsed mean 3.39 ( 0.00%) 3.40 ( -0.23%) 3.01 ( 11.33%) 2.70 ( 20.26%) 2.67 ( 21.21%) 2.38 ( 29.88%) 2.21 ( 34.93%) 1.92 ( 43.46%) Elapsed stddev 0.01 ( 0.00%) 0.01 (-43.09%) 0.01 ( 15.42%) 0.01 ( 23.42%) 0.00 ( 89.78%) 0.01 ( -7.15%) 0.00 ( 76.69%) 0.02 (-91.77%) Elapsed max 3.41 ( 0.00%) 3.43 ( -0.52%) 3.03 ( 11.29%) 2.72 ( 20.16%) 2.67 ( 21.63%) 2.40 ( 29.50%) 2.21 ( 35.21%) 1.96 ( 42.39%) Elapsed range 0.03 ( 0.00%) 0.04 (-51.16%) 0.02 ( 6.27%) 0.02 ( 14.67%) 0.00 ( 88.90%) 0.03 (-19.18%) 0.01 ( 73.70%) 0.06 (-113.35% The second set of measurements simulates the worst possible conditions for batching by using numactl --interleave, so that there is in fact only one page per pagevec.

The way the page allocator interacts with kswapd creates aging imbalances, where the amount of time a userspace page gets in memory under reclaim pressure is dependent on which zone, which node the allocator took the page frame from. #1 fixes missed kswapd wakeups on NUMA systems, which lead to some nodes falling behind for a full reclaim cycle relative to the other nodes in the system #3 fixes an interaction where kswapd and a continuous stream of page allocations keep the preferred zone of a task between the high and low watermark (allocations succeed + kswapd does not go to sleep) indefinitely, completely underutilizing the lower zones and thrashing on the preferred zone These patches are the aging fairness part of the thrash-detection based file LRU balancing.

This patch: When the page allocator fails to get a page from all zones in its given zonelist, it wakes up the per-node kswapds for all zones that are at their low watermark. However, with a system under load the free pages in a zone can fluctuate enough that the allocation fails but the kswapd wakeup is also skipped while the zone is still really close to the low watermark. When one node misses a wakeup like this, it won't be aged before all the other node's zones are down to their low watermarks again. And skipping a full aging cycle is an obvious fairness problem. Kswapd runs until the high watermarks are restored, so it should also be woken when the high watermarks are not met. This ages nodes more equally and creates a safety margin for the page counter fluctuation. By using zone_balanced(), it will now check, in addition to the watermark, if compaction requires more order-0 pages to create a higher order page.

The list_lru infrastructure already keeps per-node LRU lists in its node-specific list_lru_node arrays and provide us with a per-node API, and the shrinkers are properly equiped with node information. This means that we can now focus our shrinking effort in a single node, but the work that is deferred from one run to another is kept global at nr_in_batch. Work can be deferred, for instance, during direct reclaim under a GFP_NOFS allocation, where situation, all the filesystem shrinkers will be prevented from running and accumulate in nr_in_batch the amount of work they should have done, but could not. This creates an impedance problem, where upon node pressure, work deferred will accumulate and end up being flushed in other nodes. The problem we describe is particularly harmful in big machines, where many nodes can accumulate at the same time, all adding to the global counter nr_in_batch. As we accumulate more and more, we start to ask for the caches to flush even bigger numbers. The result is that the caches are depleted and do not stabilize. To achieve stable steady state behavior, we need to tackle it differently. In this patch we keep the deferred count per-node, in the new array nr_deferred[] (the name is also a bit more descriptive) and will never accumulate that to other nodes.

The current shrinker callout API uses an a single shrinker call for multiple functions. To determine the function, a special magical value is passed in a parameter to change the behaviour. This complicates the implementation and return value specification for the different behaviours. Separate the two different behaviours into separate operations, one to return a count of freeable objects in the cache, and another to scan a certain number of objects in the cache for freeing. In defining these new operations, ensure the return values and resultant behaviours are clearly defined and documented.

After the patch "mm: vmscan: Flatten kswapd priority loop" was merged the scanning priority of kswapd changed. The priority now rises until it is scanning enough pages to meet the high watermark. shrink_inactive_list sets ZONE_WRITEBACK if a number of pages were encountered under writeback but this value is scaled based on the priority. As kswapd frequently scans with a higher priority now it is relatively easy to set ZONE_WRITEBACK. This patch removes the scaling and treates writeback pages similar to how it treats unqueued dirty pages and congested pages. The user-visible effect should be that kswapd will writeback fewer pages from reclaim context.

Direct reclaim is not aborting to allow compaction to go ahead properly. do_try_to_free_pages is told to abort reclaim which is happily ignores and instead increases priority instead until it reaches 0 and starts shrinking file/anon equally. This patch corrects the situation by aborting reclaim when requested instead of raising priority.

Similar to __pagevec_lru_add, this patch removes the LRU parameter from __lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru as the caller does not control the exact LRU the page gets added to. lru_cache_add_lru gets renamed to lru_cache_add the name is silly without the lru parameter. With the parameter removed, it is required that the caller indicate if they want the page added to the active or inactive list by setting or clearing PageActive respectively.
