      mm, vmscan: do not special-case slab reclaim when watermarks are boosted · fb4da0ed
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      to #28825456

commit 28360f398778d7623a5ff8a8e90958c0d925e120 upstream.

Dave Chinner reported a problem pointing a finger at commit 1c30844d2dfe
("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
event occurs").

The report is extensive:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190807091858.2857-1-david@fromorbit.com/

and it's worth recording the most relevant parts (colorful language and
typos included).

	When running a simple, steady state 4kB file creation test to
	simulate extracting tarballs larger than memory full of small
	files into the filesystem, I noticed that once memory fills up
	the cache balance goes to hell.

	The workload is creating one dirty cached inode for every dirty
	page, both of which should require a single IO each to clean and
	reclaim, and creation of inodes is throttled by the rate at which
	dirty writeback runs at (via balance dirty pages). Hence the ingest
	rate of new cached inodes and page cache pages is identical and
	steady. As a result, memory reclaim should quickly find a steady
	balance between page cache and inode caches.

	The moment memory fills, the page cache is reclaimed at a much
	faster rate than the inode cache, and evidence suggests that
	the inode cache shrinker is not being called when large batches
	of pages are being reclaimed. In roughly the same time period
	that it takes to fill memory with 50% pages and 50% slab caches,
	memory reclaim reduces the page cache down to just dirty pages
	and slab caches fill the entirety of memory.

	The LRU is largely full of dirty pages, and we're getting spikes
	of random writeback from memory reclaim so it's all going to shit.
	Behaviour never recovers, the page cache remains pinned at just
	dirty pages, and nothing I could tune would make any difference.
	vfs_cache_pressure makes no difference - I would set it so high
	it should trim the entire inode caches in a single pass, yet it
	didn't do anything. It was clear from tracing and live telemetry
	that the shrinkers were pretty much not running except when
	there was absolutely no memory free at all, and then they did
	the minimum necessary to free memory to make progress.

	So I went looking at the code, trying to find places where pages
	got reclaimed and the shrinkers weren't called. There's only one
	- kswapd doing boosted reclaim as per commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm:
	reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
	event occurs").

The watermark boosting introduced by the commit is triggered in response
to an allocation "fragmentation event".  The boosting was not intended
to target THP specifically and triggers even if THP is disabled.
However, with Dave's perfectly reasonable workload, fragmentation events
can be very common given the ratio of slab to page cache allocations so
boosting remains active for long periods of time.

As high-order allocations might use compaction and compaction cannot
move slab pages the decision was made in the commit to special-case
kswapd when watermarks are boosted -- kswapd avoids reclaiming slab as
reclaiming slab does not directly help compaction.

As Dave notes, this decision means that slab can be artificially
protected for long periods of time and messes up the balance with slab
and page caches.

Removing the special casing can still indirectly help avoid
fragmentation by avoiding fragmentation-causing events due to slab
allocation as pages from a slab pageblock will have some slab objects
freed.  Furthermore, with the special casing, reclaim behaviour is
unpredictable as kswapd sometimes examines slab and sometimes does not
in a manner that is tricky to tune or analyse.

This patch removes the special casing.  The downside is that this is not
a universal performance win.  Some benchmarks that depend on the
residency of data when rereading metadata may see a regression when slab
reclaim is restored to its original behaviour.  Similarly, some
benchmarks that only read-once or write-once may perform better when
page reclaim is too aggressive.  The primary upside is that slab
shrinker is less surprising (arguably more sane but that's a matter of
opinion), behaves consistently regardless of the fragmentation state of
the system and properly obeys VM sysctls.

A fsmark benchmark configuration was constructed similar to what Dave
reported and is codified by the mmtest configuration
config-io-fsmark-small-file-stream.  It was evaluated on a 1-socket
machine to avoid dealing with NUMA-related issues and the timing of
reclaim.  The storage was an SSD Samsung Evo and a fresh trimmed XFS
filesystem was used for the test data.

This is not an exact replication of Dave's setup.  The configuration
scales its parameters depending on the memory size of the SUT to behave
similarly across machines.  The parameters mean the first sample
reported by fs_mark is using 50% of RAM which will barely be throttled
and look like a big outlier.  Dave used fake NUMA to have multiple
kswapd instances which I didn't replicate.  Finally, the number of
iterations differ from Dave's test as the target disk was not large
enough.  While not identical, it should be representative.

This is showing a slight skew for the max result representing a large
outlier for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quartile are similar indicating that
the bulk of the results show little difference.  Note that an earlier
version of the fsmark configuration showed a regression but that
included more samples taken while memory was still filling.

Note that the elapsed time is higher.  Part of this is that the
configuration included time to delete all the test files when the test
completes -- the test automation handles the possibility of testing
fsmark with multiple thread counts.  Without the patch, many of these
objects would be memory resident which is part of what the patch is
addressing.

There are other important observations that justify the patch.

1. With the vanilla kernel, the number of dirty pages in the system is
   very low for much of the test. With this patch, dirty pages is
   generally kept at 10% which matches vm.dirty_background_ratio which
   is normal expected historical behaviour.

2. With the vanilla kernel, the ratio of Slab/Pagecache is close to
   0.95 for much of the test i.e. Slab is being left alone and
   dominating memory consumption. With the patch applied, the ratio
   varies between 0.35 and 0.45 with the bulk of the measured ratios
   roughly half way between those values. This is a different balance to
   what Dave reported but it was at least consistent.

3. Slabs are scanned throughout the entire test with the patch applied.
   The vanille kernel has periods with no scan activity and then
   relatively massive spikes.

4. Without the patch, kswapd scan rates are very variable. With the
   patch, the scan rates remain quite steady.

4. Overall vmstats are closer to normal expectations

	o Vanilla kernel is hitting direct reclaim more frequently,
	  not very much in absolute terms but the fact the patch
	  reduces it is interesting
	o "Page reclaim immediate" in the vanilla kernel indicates
	  dirty pages are being encountered at the tail of the LRU.
	  This is generally bad and means in this case that the LRU
	  is not long enough for dirty pages to be cleaned by the
	  background flush in time. This is much reduced by the
	  patch.
	o With the patch, kswapd is reclaiming 10 times more slab
	  pages than with the vanilla kernel. This is indicative
	  of the watermark boosting over-protecting slab

A more complete set of tests were run that were part of the basis for
introducing boosting and while there are some differences, they are well
within tolerances.

Bottom line, the special casing kswapd to avoid slab behaviour is
unpredictable and can lead to abnormal results for normal workloads.

This patch restores the expected behaviour that slab and page cache is
balanced consistently for a workload with a steady allocation ratio of
slab/pagecache pages.  It also means that if there are workloads that
favour the preservation of slab over pagecache that it can be tuned via
vm.vfs_cache_pressure where as the vanilla kernel effectively ignores
the parameter when boosting is active.

      mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs · 9bcadc70
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      to #28825456

commit 1c30844d2dfe272d58c8fc000960b835d13aa2ac upstream.

An external fragmentation event was previously described as

    When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using
    the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller
    than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered
    an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future.

The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the
watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the
lifetime of the system.  This works reasonably well in general but if
there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still
occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep.

This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone
watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing
events occurs.  The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease
free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the
calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size
of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is
cleared.  When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order
to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the
fragmentation event.  kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap
from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system
disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance.  Care is taken so that
kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.

This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

There is a large reduction in fragmentation events with some jitter around
the latencies and success rates.  As before, the high THP allocation
success rate does mean the system is under a lot of pressure.  However, as
the fragmentation events are reduced, it would be expected that the
long-term allocation success rate would be higher.

      alinux: mm, memcg: add memsli procfs switch interface · 892970b7
      由 Xu Yu 提交于 
      to #26424368

Since memsli also records latency histogram for swapout and swapin,
which are NOT in the slow memory path, the overhead of memsli could
be nonnegligible in some specific scenarios.

For example, in scenarios with frequent swapping out and in, memsli
could introduce overhead of ~1% of total run time of the synthetic
testcase.

This adds procfs interface for memsli switch. The memsli feature is
enabled by default, and you can now disable it by:

$ echo 0 > /proc/memsli/enabled

Apparently, you can check current memsli switch status by:

      mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT · 23757dcc
      由 Minchan Kim 提交于 
      commit 1a4e58cce84ee88129d5d49c064bd2852b481357 upstream

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use.  This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.

This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly.  The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.

A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size.  If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].

- man-page material

MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)

Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.

MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

      mm: change PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN with PAGE_REFRECLAIM · a0747c91
      由 Minchan Kim 提交于 
      commit 8940b34a4e082ae11498ddae8432f2ac07685d1c upstream

The local variable references in shrink_page_list is PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN
as default.  It is for preventing to reclaim dirty pages when CMA try to
migrate pages.  Strictly speaking, we don't need it because CMA didn't
allow to write out by .may_writepage = 0 in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

Moreover, it has a problem to prevent anonymous pages's swap out even
though force_reclaim = true in shrink_page_list on upcoming patch.  So
this patch makes references's default value to PAGEREF_RECLAIM and rename
force_reclaim with ignore_references to make it more clear.

This is a preparatory work for next patch.

      mm: vmscan: scan anonymous pages on file refaults · c1d98b76
      由 Kuo-Hsin Yang 提交于 
      commit 2c012a4ad1a2cd3fb5a0f9307b9d219f84eda1fa upstream.

When file refaults are detected and there are many inactive file pages,
the system never reclaim anonymous pages, the file pages are dropped
aggressively when there are still a lot of cold anonymous pages and
system thrashes.  This issue impacts the performance of applications
with large executable, e.g.  chrome.

With this patch, when file refault is detected, inactive_list_is_low()
always returns true for file pages in get_scan_count() to enable
scanning anonymous pages.

The problem can be reproduced by the following test program.

	struct stat st;
	int fd;

	if (!stat(filename, &st) && st.st_size >= size)

	}

	/*

	 * pages, map some of the pages with PROT_EXEC flag to simulate
	 * the behavior.

	start1 = mmap(NULL, size / 2, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED,
		      fd, 0);
	if (start1 == MAP_FAILED) {

		exit(1);
	}
	end1 = start1 + size / 2;

	start2 = mmap(NULL, size / 2, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, size / 2);
	if (start2 == MAP_FAILED) {

		exit(1);
	}

	for (i = 0; i < rounds; ++i) {
		struct timeval before, after;
		volatile char *ptr1 = start1, *ptr2 = start2;
		gettimeofday(&before, NULL);
		for (; ptr1 < end1; ptr1 += page_size, ptr2 += page_size)
			sum += *ptr1 + *ptr2;
		gettimeofday(&after, NULL);
		printf("File access time, round %d: %f (sec)

		       (after.tv_sec - before.tv_sec) +
		       (after.tv_usec - before.tv_usec) / 1000000.0);
	}
	return sum;
}

      mm/vmscan.c: prevent useless kswapd loops · 27ce6c26
      由 Shakeel Butt 提交于 
      commit dffcac2cb88e4ec5906235d64a83d802580b119e upstream.

In production we have noticed hard lockups on large machines running
large jobs due to kswaps hoarding lru lock within isolate_lru_pages when
sc->reclaim_idx is 0 which is a small zone.  The lru was couple hundred
GiBs and the condition (page_zonenum(page) > sc->reclaim_idx) in
isolate_lru_pages() was basically skipping GiBs of pages while holding
the LRU spinlock with interrupt disabled.

On further inspection, it seems like there are two issues:

(1) If kswapd on the return from balance_pgdat() could not sleep (i.e.
    node is still unbalanced), the classzone_idx is unintentionally set
    to 0 and the whole reclaim cycle of kswapd will try to reclaim only
    the lowest and smallest zone while traversing the whole memory.

(2) Fundamentally isolate_lru_pages() is really bad when the
    allocation has woken kswapd for a smaller zone on a very large machine
    running very large jobs.  It can hoard the LRU spinlock while skipping
    over 100s of GiBs of pages.

This patch only fixes (1).  (2) needs a more fundamental solution.  To
fix (1), in the kswapd context, if pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx is
invalid use the classzone_idx of the previous kswapd loop otherwise use
the one the waker has requested.

Wu found it's due to commit ad6b6704 ("mm: remove SWAP_MLOCK in
ttu").  Before that, unevictable pages go to cull_mlocked so that we
can't reach the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE line.

To fix the issue, this patch filters out unevictable LRU pages from the
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list in CMA.

      mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects · 172b06c3
      由 Roman Gushchin 提交于 
      9092c71b ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the
way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it
priority-based:

    delta = freeable >> priority;
    delta *= 4;
    do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks);

The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is
applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less
than 4096 (1<<12).

This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to
(almost) never get reclaimed.  It's obviously a waste of memory.

It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a
reference to a dying cgroup.  Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg
offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the
dying cgroup.  If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go
away.  Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects,
only remaining objects from dying children cgroups.  So it can easily hold
a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups.

If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are
created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying
cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory
"leak".  It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed,
but it could not happen in a real life at all.  I've seen hosts with a
steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of
a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production
workload.

It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal
pressure even on small shrinker lists.  E.g.  if there are freeable
objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects.

This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be
reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth
of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

      mm: use special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING instead of list_empty() check · 7e010df5
      由 Kirill Tkhai 提交于 
      The patch introduces a special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING to use instead
of list_empty() to differ a registering shrinker from unregistered
shrinker.  Why we need that at all?

Shrinker registration is split in two parts.  The first one is
prealloc_shrinker(), which allocates shrinker memory and reserves ID in
shrinker_idr.  This function can fail.  The second is
register_shrinker_prepared(), and it finalizes the registration.  This
function actually makes shrinker available to be used from
shrink_slab(), and it can't fail.

One shrinker may be based on more then one LRU lists.  So, we never
clear the bit in memcg shrinker maps, when (one of) corresponding LRU
list becomes empty, since other LRU lists may be not empty.  See
superblock shrinker for example: it is based on two LRU lists:
s_inode_lru and s_dentry_lru.  We do not want to clear shrinker bit,
when there are no inodes in s_inode_lru, as s_dentry_lru may contain
dentries.

Instead of that, we use special algorithm to detect shrinkers having no
elements at all its LRU lists, and this is made in shrink_slab_memcg().
See the comment in this function for the details.

Also, in shrink_slab_memcg() we clear shrinker bit in the map, when we
meet unregistered shrinker (bit is set, while there is no a shrinker in
IDR).  Otherwise, we would have done that at the moment of shrinker
unregistration for all memcgs (and this looks worse, since iteration
over all memcg may take much time).  Also this would have imposed
restrictions on shrinker unregistration order for its users: they would
have had to guarantee, there are no new elements after
unregister_shrinker() (otherwise, a new added element would have set a
bit).

So, if we meet a set bit in map and no shrinker in IDR when we're
iterating over the map in shrink_slab_memcg(), this means the
corresponding shrinker is unregistered, and we must clear the bit.

Another case is shrinker registration.  We want two things there:

1) do_shrink_slab() can be called only for completely registered
   shrinkers;

2) shrinker internal lists may be populated in any order with
   register_shrinker_prepared() (let's talk on the example with sb).  Both
   of:

  a)list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu0]
    memcg_set_shrinker_bit();                               [cpu0]
    ...
    register_shrinker_prepared();                           [cpu1]

  and

  b)register_shrinker_prepared();                           [cpu0]
    ...
    list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu1]
    memcg_set_shrinker_bit();                               [cpu1]

   are legitimate.  We don't want to impose restriction here and to
   force people to use only (b) variant.  We don't want to force people to
   care, there is no elements in LRU lists before the shrinker is
   completely registered.  Internal users of LRU lists and shrinker code
   are two different subsystems, and they have to be closed in themselves
   each other.

In (a) case we have the bit set before shrinker is completely
registered.  We don't want do_shrink_slab() is called at this moment, so
we have to detect such the registering shrinkers.

Before this patch list_empty() (shrinker is not linked to the list)
check was used for that.  So, in (a) there could be a bit set, but we
don't call do_shrink_slab() unless shrinker is linked to the list.  It's
just an indicator, I just overloaded linking to the list.

This was not the best solution, since it's better not to touch the
shrinker memory from shrink_slab_memcg() before it's completely
registered (this also will be useful in the future to make shrink_slab()
completely lockless).

So, this patch introduces better way to detect registering shrinker,
which allows not to dereference shrinker memory.  It's just a ~0UL
value, which we insert into the IDR during ID allocation.  After
shrinker is ready to be used, we insert actual shrinker pointer in the
IDR, and it becomes available to shrink_slab_memcg().

We can't use NULL instead of this new value for this purpose as:
shrink_slab_memcg() already uses NULL to detect unregistered shrinkers,
and we don't want the function sees NULL and clears the bit, otherwise
(a) won't work.

This is the only thing the patch makes: the better way to detect
registering shrinker.  Nothing else this patch makes.

Also this gives a better assembler, but it's minor side of the patch:

Before:
  callq  <idr_find>
  mov    %rax,%r15
  test   %rax,%rax
  je     <shrink_slab_memcg+0x1d5>
  mov    0x20(%rax),%rax

      mm/vmscan.c: clear shrinker bit if there are no objects related to memcg · f90280d6
      由 Kirill Tkhai 提交于 
      To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab() for shrinkers, which
already do not have any charged objects in a memcg, their bits have to
be cleared.

This patch introduces a lockless mechanism to do that without races
without parallel list lru add.  After do_shrink_slab() returns
SHRINK_EMPTY the first time, we clear the bit and call it once again.
Then we restore the bit, if the new return value is different.

Note, that single smp_mb__after_atomic() in shrink_slab_memcg() covers
two situations:

1)list_lru_add()     shrink_slab_memcg
    list_add_tail()    for_each_set_bit() <--- read bit
                         do_shrink_slab() <--- missed list update (no barrier)
    <MB>                 <MB>
    set_bit()            do_shrink_slab() <--- seen list update

This situation, when the first do_shrink_slab() sees set bit, but it
doesn't see list update (i.e., race with the first element queueing), is
rare.  So we don't add <MB> before the first call of do_shrink_slab()
instead of this to do not slow down generic case.  Also, it's need the
second call as seen in below in (2).

2)list_lru_add()      shrink_slab_memcg()
    list_add_tail()     ...
    set_bit()           ...
  ...                   for_each_set_bit()
  do_shrink_slab()        do_shrink_slab()
    clear_bit()           ...
  ...                     ...
  list_lru_add()          ...
    list_add_tail()       clear_bit()
    <MB>                  <MB>
    set_bit()             do_shrink_slab()

The barriers guarantee that the second do_shrink_slab() in the right
side task sees list update if really cleared the bit.  This case is
drawn in the code comment.

[Results/performance of the patchset]

After the whole patchset applied the below test shows signify increase
of performance:

  $echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.use_hierarchy
  $mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
  $echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
      $for i in `seq 0 4000`; do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i;
			    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i/cgroup.procs;
			    mkdir -p s/$i; mount -t tmpfs $i s/$i;
			    touch s/$i/file; done

Then, 5 sequential calls of drop caches:

  $time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

      mm: add SHRINK_EMPTY shrinker methods return value · 9b996468
      由 Kirill Tkhai 提交于 
      We need to distinguish the situations when shrinker has very small
amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio() called from
super_cache_count()), and when it has no objects at all.  Currently, in
the both of these cases, shrinker::count_objects() returns 0.

The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value, which will be used
for "no objects at all" case.  It's is a refactoring mostly, as
SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this
patch, and all the magic will happen in further.

      mm/vmscan.c: generalize shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node() · aeed1d32
      由 Vladimir Davydov 提交于 
      The patch makes shrink_slab() be called for root_mem_cgroup in the same
way as it's called for the rest of cgroups.  This simplifies the logic
and improves the readability.

      mm/vmscan.c: iterate only over charged shrinkers during memcg shrink_slab() · b0dedc49
      由 Kirill Tkhai 提交于 
      Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg
shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers
bitmap.  To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and
!memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen via
for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap.  In case of big nodes, having many
isolated environments, this gives significant performance growth.  See
next patches for the details.

Note that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers, since we
never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once.  Their shrinkers will
be called again, with no shrinked objects as result.  This functionality
is provided by next patches.

      mm, memcg: assign memcg-aware shrinkers bitmap to memcg · 0a4465d3
      由 Kirill Tkhai 提交于 
      Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers.  Let
we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts, and 10 cgroups.
All container tasks don't touch foreign containers mounts.  If there is
intensive pages write, and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to
iterate over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go to
shrink_page_list().

Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive: the task has to
visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since there are
2000 memcgs, the total calls are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000.

So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls just to try to
isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one of the actively writing memcg via
shrink_page_list().  I've observed a node spending almost 100% in
kernel, making useless iteration over already shrinked slab.

This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg.  The size of
the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during memcg life it's
maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids shrinkers.  Every bit in
the map is related to corresponding shrinker id.

Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged memcg.  This
will allow shrink_slab() to increase its performance in significant way.
See the last patch for the numbers.

      mm: assign id to every memcg-aware shrinker · b4c2b231
      由 Kirill Tkhai 提交于 
      Introduce shrinker::id number, which is used to enumerate memcg-aware
shrinkers.  The number start from 0, and the code tries to maintain it
as small as possible.

This will be used to represent a memcg-aware shrinkers in memcg
shrinkers map.

Since all memcg-aware shrinkers are based on list_lru, which is
per-memcg in case of !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM only, the new functionality will
be under this config option.

      mm/vmscan.c: condense scan_control · bb451fdf
      由 Greg Thelen 提交于 
      Use smaller scan_control fields for order, priority, and reclaim_idx.
Convert fields from int => s8.  All easily fit within a byte:

 - allocation order range: 0..MAX_ORDER(64?)
 - priority range:         0..12(DEF_PRIORITY)
 - reclaim_idx range:      0..6(__MAX_NR_ZONES)

Since 6538b8ea ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") x86_64 stack
overflows are not an issue.  But it's inefficient to use ints.

Use s8 (signed byte) rather than u8 to allow for loops like:
	do {
		...
	} while (--sc.priority >= 0);

Add BUILD_BUG_ON to verify that s8 is capable of storing max values.

This reduces sizeof(struct scan_control):
 - 96 => 80 bytes (x86_64)
 - 68 => 56 bytes (i386)

scan_control structure field order is changed to utilize padding.  After
this patch there is 1 bit of scan_control padding.

akpm: makes my vmscan.o's .text 572 bytes smaller as well.
