The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
latency.  Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
valid.

In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
memory.  And the different tasks in the system may have different access
patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect.

In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault
address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap
slot in swap device.  This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots.
At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from
globally.  So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs
could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be
applied accordingly.  The original core readahead detection and scaling
algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the
space locality.

The test and result is as follow,

Common test condition
=====================

Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device:
NVMe disk

Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern
============================================

vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G
virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300
seconds.  The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following
rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out.

At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in
background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the
random memory write until 300 seconds.  This will trigger random swap-in
in the background.

This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing
at the same time.  The result (for sequential workload) is as follow,

			Base		Optimized
			----		---------
throughput		345413 KB/s	414029 KB/s (+19.9%)
latency.average		97.14 us	61.06 us (-37.1%)
latency.50th		2 us		1 us
latency.60th		2 us		1 us
latency.70th		98 us		2 us
latency.80th		160 us		2 us
latency.90th		260 us		217 us
latency.95th		346 us		369 us
latency.99th		1.34 ms		1.09 ms
ra_hit%			52.69%		99.98%

The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background
random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower.  The VMA-base
readahead algorithm works much better.

Linpack
=======

The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping.

			Base		Optimized
			----		---------
elapsed_time		393.49 s	329.88 s (-16.2%)
ra_hit%			86.21%		98.82%

The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes.  But the
elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized
kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages.  And the absolute
value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is
still valid in some practical workloads.

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.

After supporting to delay THP (Transparent Huge Page) splitting after
swapped out, it is possible that some page table mappings of the THP are
turned into swap entries.  So reuse_swap_page() need to check the swap
count in addition to the map count as before.  This patch done that.

In the huge PMD write protect fault handler, in addition to the page map
count, the swap count need to be checked too, so the page lock need to
be acquired too when calling reuse_swap_page() in addition to the page
table lock.

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.

The rework of the cpu hotplug locking unearthed potential deadlocks with
the memory hotplug locking code.

The solution for these is to rework the memory hotplug locking code as
well and take the cpu hotplug lock before the memory hotplug lock in
mem_hotplug_begin(), but this will cause a recursive locking of the cpu
hotplug lock when the memory hotplug code calls lru_add_drain_all().

Split out the inner workings of lru_add_drain_all() into
lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() so this function can be invoked from the
memory hotplug code with the cpu hotplug lock held.

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.

The add_to_swap aims to allocate swap_space(ie, swap slot and swapcache)
so if it fails due to lack of space in case of THP or something(hdd swap
but tries THP swapout) *caller* rather than add_to_swap itself should
split the THP page and retry it with base page which is more natural.

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.

madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'.  They are still
anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout.  To distinguish
these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag.

MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like
used once file pages.  For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once
there is memory pressure.  Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE
pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to
reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.

To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into
LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list.  The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny
nowadays and should be full of used once file pages.  Reclaiming
MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active
file pages.  And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be
reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE
pages too.  Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also
means we can reclaim the pages without swap support.  This idea is
suggested by Johannes.

This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to
avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it.

The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Currently, we track the shadow entries in the page cache in the upper
bits of the radix_tree_node->count, behind the back of the radix tree
implementation.  Because the radix tree code has no awareness of them,
we rely on random subtleties throughout the implementation (such as the
node->count != 1 check in the shrinking code, which is meant to exclude
multi-entry nodes but also happens to skip nodes with only one shadow
entry, as that's accounted in the upper bits).  This is error prone and
has, in fact, caused the bug fixed in d3798ae8 ("mm: filemap: don't
plant shadow entries without radix tree node").

To remove these subtleties, this patch moves shadow entry tracking from
the upper bits of node->count to the existing counter for exceptional
entries.  node->count goes back to being a simple counter of valid
entries in the tree node and can be shrunk to a single byte.

This vastly simplifies the page cache code.  All accounting happens
natively inside the radix tree implementation, and maintaining the LRU
linkage of shadow nodes is consolidated into a single function in the
workingset code that is called for leaf nodes affected by a change in
the page cache tree.

This also removes the last user of the __radix_delete_node() return
value.  Eliminate it.

That just generally kills the machine, and makes debugging only much
harder, since the traces may long be gone.

Debugging by assert() is a disease.  Don't do it.  If you can continue,
you're much better off doing so with a live machine where you have a
much higher chance that the report actually makes it to the system logs,
rather than result in a machine that is just completely dead.

The only valid situation for BUG_ON() is when continuing is not an
option, because there is massive corruption.  But if you are just
verifying that something is true, you warn about your broken assumptions
(preferably just once), and limp on.

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert().  This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.

Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point
approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat
statistics.  This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone
and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference
that inactive/active stats are still available.  This preserves the
history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be
reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be
accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry
logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on
per-zone stats.

Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in
__alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit
03668b3c ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations").  The
exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot
fail.  If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem
allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact.

This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations
in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.  This is not ideal
but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives.  The impact
it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the
OOM killer.

As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy
compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained
allocations.

In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when
deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation.  While
it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will
not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.

The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages.  As
those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in
highmem.  This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone
stats as it is sufficient.

In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to
be removed.

As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be
node_reclaim.  It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple
times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching
all nodes traversed so far.  The documentation and interface to
userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be
similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also
limited to lower zones.

Memcg needs adjustment after moving LRUs to the node.  Limits are
tracked per memcg but the soft-limit excess is tracked per zone.  As
global page reclaim is based on the node, it is easy to imagine a
situation where a zone soft limit is exceeded even though the memcg
limit is fine.

This patch moves the soft limit tree the node.  Technically, all the
variable names should also change but people are already familiar by the
meaning of "mz" even if "mn" would be a more appropriate name now.

Earlier patches focused on having direct reclaim and kswapd use data
that is node-centric for reclaiming but shrink_node() itself still uses
too much zone information.  This patch removes unnecessary zone-based
information with the most important decision being whether to continue
reclaim or not.  Some memcg APIs are adjusted as a result even though
memcg itself still uses some zone information.

The balance gap was introduced to apply equal pressure to all zones when
reclaiming for a higher zone.  With node-based LRU, the need for the
balance gap is removed and the code is dead so remove it.

This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.

Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic.  Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes.  It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.

Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies.  For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters.  We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested.  This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.

In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions

1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem

   When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
   list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
   highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
   keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
   arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
   could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.

   That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
   highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.

2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails

   This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
   memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

__alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim
and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry
allocation rather than declaring OOM.  shrink_zones had to rely on
zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from
a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or
writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up.

zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times
and restart if a page is freed.  This is really subtle behavior and it
might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator
looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single
page.  OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any
progress for unbounded amount of time.

This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone
which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as
OOM which is per zonelist property.  It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which
knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far
therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic.

The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called
from __alloc_pages_slowpath.  It tries to be more deterministic and
easier to follow.  It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense
only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the
current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at
least for one zone in the usable zonelist.

This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might
get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time
or even depend on the current allocation context.  Therefore there is a
backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after
each reclaim round without any progress.  This means that we should
eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the
wmark check and proceed to OOM.  The backoff is simple and linear with
1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress.  We
are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds.

Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without
__GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will
back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the
requested order.  The only difference is that if there was no progress
during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check.  This is more
logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result
of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.

Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.

Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.

Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.
