      mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations · 25160354
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
      should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
      __GFP_NORETRY.  This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
      allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore.  We can also change THP page faults
      in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
      khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
      is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
      
      We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
      GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
      GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default).  Adding
      __GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
      
      The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
      follows:
      
      * get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
        long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
        effort on it.  We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
        This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
        unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
        by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
      
      * alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
        is not an issue.  So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
        reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY.  We can remove the
        PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
      
        As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
        compaction was deferred or contended.  This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
        times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
        disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
      
      * migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
        __GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
        equivalent.
      
      * alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
        are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY.  Other vma's keep using
        __GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
        it's allowed only for madvised vma's).  The rest is conversion to
        GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

      mm: remove reclaim and compaction retry approximations · 5a1c84b4
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      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.

      mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries · bca67592
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      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.

      mm: move most file-based accounting to the node · 11fb9989
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
      being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
      accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
      confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
      throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
      still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

      mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node · 599d0c95
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      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.

      PG_double_map optimization doesn't work for file pages since lifecycle

      mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration · bda807d4
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
      to make high-order pages.  But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
      android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
      have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
      For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,.  enhance
      compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
      vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
      their solutions are void in the long run.
      
      So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
      movable.  For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
      migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.
      
      If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
      functions which are function pointers of struct
      address_space_operations.
      
      1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);
      
      What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
      if driver isolates page successfully.  On returing true, VM marks the
      page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
      page for isolation.  If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
      return *false*.
      
      Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
      shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.
      
      2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
      		struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);
      
      After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page.  The
      function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
      and set up fields of struct page newpage.  Keep in mind that you should
      indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
      __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
      successfully and returns 0.  If driver cannot migrate the page at the
      moment, driver can return -EAGAIN.  On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
      migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
      migration failure".  On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
      up the page migration without retrying in this time.
      
      Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.
      
      3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);
      
      If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
      to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
      page.  In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
      own data structure.
      
      4. non-lru movable page flags
      
      There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.
      
      * PG_movable
      
      Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
      page_lock.
      
      	void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)
      
      It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
      functions which will be called by VM.  Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
      not a real flag of struct page.  Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
      lower bits to represent it.
      
      	#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
      	page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;
      
      so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly.  Instead, driver
      should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
      so it can get right struct address_space.
      
      For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
      However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
      page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page.  As
      well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
      doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
      __ClearPageMovable).  But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
      is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated.  Because LRU
      pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping.  It is also
      good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
      expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.
      
      For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
      Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
      mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page.  The lock_page prevents
      sudden destroying of page->mapping.
      
      Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
      __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.
      
      * PG_isolated
      
      To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
      page as PG_isolated under lock_page.  So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
      non-lru movable page, it can skip it.  Driver doesn't need to manipulate
      the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically.  Keep in mind that
      if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
      VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field.  PG_isolated is alias with
      PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

      mm: use put_page() to free page instead of putback_lru_page() · c6c919eb
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      Recently, I got many reports about perfermance degradation in embedded
      system(Android mobile phone, webOS TV and so on) and easy fork fail.
      
      The problem was fragmentation caused by zram and GPU driver mainly.
      With memory pressure, their pages were spread out all of pageblock and
      it cannot be migrated with current compaction algorithm which supports
      only LRU pages.  In the end, compaction cannot work well so reclaimer
      shrinks all of working set pages.  It made system very slow and even to
      fail to fork easily which requires order-[2 or 3] allocations.
      
      Other pain point is that they cannot use CMA memory space so when OOM
      kill happens, I can see many free pages in CMA area, which is not memory
      efficient.  In our product which has big CMA memory, it reclaims zones
      too exccessively to allocate GPU and zram page although there are lots
      of free space in CMA so system becomes very slow easily.
      
      To solve these problem, this patch tries to add facility to migrate
      non-lru pages via introducing new functions and page flags to help
      migration.
      
      struct address_space_operations {
      	..
      	..
      	bool (*isolate_page)(struct page *, isolate_mode_t);
      	void (*putback_page)(struct page *);
      	..
      }
      
      new page flags
      
      	PG_movable
      	PG_isolated
      
      For details, please read description in "mm: migrate: support non-lru
      movable page migration".
      
      Originally, Gioh Kim had tried to support this feature but he moved so I
      took over the work.  I took many code from his work and changed a little
      bit and Konstantin Khlebnikov helped Gioh a lot so he should deserve to
      have many credit, too.
      
      And I should mention Chulmin who have tested this patchset heavily so I
      can find many bugs from him.  :)
      
      Thanks, Gioh, Konstantin and Chulmin!
      
      This patchset consists of five parts.
      
      1. clean up migration
        mm: use put_page to free page instead of putback_lru_page
      
      2. add non-lru page migration feature
        mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration
      
      3. rework KVM memory-ballooning
        mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page feature
      
      4. zsmalloc refactoring for preparing page migration
        zsmalloc: keep max_object in size_class
        zsmalloc: use bit_spin_lock
        zsmalloc: use accessor
        zsmalloc: factor page chain functionality out
        zsmalloc: introduce zspage structure
        zsmalloc: separate free_zspage from putback_zspage
        zsmalloc: use freeobj for index
      
      5. zsmalloc page migration
        zsmalloc: page migration support
        zram: use __GFP_MOVABLE for memory allocation
      
      This patch (of 12):
      
      Procedure of page migration is as follows:
      
      First of all, it should isolate a page from LRU and try to migrate the
      page.  If it is successful, it releases the page for freeing.
      Otherwise, it should put the page back to LRU list.
      
      For LRU pages, we have used putback_lru_page for both freeing and
      putback to LRU list.  It's okay because put_page is aware of LRU list so
      if it releases last refcount of the page, it removes the page from LRU
      list.  However, It makes unnecessary operations (e.g., lru_cache_add,
      pagevec and flags operations.  It would be not significant but no worth
      to do) and harder to support new non-lru page migration because put_page
      isn't aware of non-lru page's data structure.
      
      To solve the problem, we can add new hook in put_page with PageMovable
      flags check but it can increase overhead in hot path and needs new
      locking scheme to stabilize the flag check with put_page.
      
      So, this patch cleans it up to divide two semantic(ie, put and putback).
      If migration is successful, use put_page instead of putback_lru_page and
      use putback_lru_page only on failure.  That makes code more readable and
      doesn't add overhead in put_page.
      
      Comment from Vlastimil
       "Yeah, and compaction (perhaps also other migration users) has to drain
        the lru pvec...  Getting rid of this stuff is worth even by itself."

      mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBacked · fa9949da
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      v3.16 commit 07a42788 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
      shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
      by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
      not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
      ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).
      
      That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
      but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
      justification.
      
      Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path:
      it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.
      
      Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
      doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
      the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.
      
      There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but
      SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

      mm: migrate: do not touch page->mem_cgroup of live pages · 6a93ca8f
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page,
      so we want to limit this as much as possible.  Page migration e.g.  does
      not have to do that.  Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly
      charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets
      freed.  Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an
      issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much
      preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages.
      
      The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live
      pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup.  But that
      path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move
      lock (lock_page_memcg()).  That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable
      in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked.  Lighter
      unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

      mm, page_owner: track and print last migrate reason · 7cd12b4a
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      During migration, page_owner info is now copied with the rest of the
      page, so the stacktrace leading to free page allocation during migration
      is overwritten.  For debugging purposes, it might be however useful to
      know that the page has been migrated since its initial allocation.  This
      might happen many times during the lifetime for different reasons and
      fully tracking this, especially with stacktraces would incur extra
      memory costs.  As a compromise, store and print the migrate_reason of
      the last migration that occurred to the page.  This is enough to
      distinguish compaction, numa balancing etc.

      mm, page_owner: copy page owner info during migration · d435edca
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      The page_owner mechanism stores gfp_flags of an allocation and stack
      trace that lead to it.  During page migration, the original information
      is practically replaced by the allocation of free page as the migration
      target.  Arguably this is less useful and might lead to all the
      page_owner info for migratable pages gradually converge towards
      compaction or numa balancing migrations.  It has also lead to
      inaccuracies such as one fixed by commit e2cfc911 ("mm/page_owner:
      set correct gfp_mask on page_owner").
      
      This patch thus introduces copying the page_owner info during migration.
      However, since the fact that the page has been migrated from its
      original place might be useful for debugging, the next patch will
      introduce a way to track that information as well.

      mm: numa: quickly fail allocations for NUMA balancing on full nodes · 8479eba7
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Commit 4167e9b2 ("mm: remove GFP_THISNODE") removed the GFP_THISNODE
      flag combination due to confusing semantics.  It noted that
      alloc_misplaced_dst_page() was one such user after changes made by
      commit e97ca8e5 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify").
      
      Unfortunately when GFP_THISNODE was removed, users of
      alloc_misplaced_dst_page() started waking kswapd and entering direct
      reclaim because the wrong GFP flags are cleared.  The consequence is
      that workloads that used to fit into memory now get reclaimed which is
      addressed by this patch.
      
      The problem can be demonstrated with "mutilate" that exercises memcached
      which is software dedicated to memory object caching.  The configuration
      uses 80% of memory and is run 3 times for varying numbers of clients.

      The vanilla kernel is swapping like crazy with large amounts of direct
      reclaim and kswapd activity.  The figures are aggregate but it's known
      that the bad activity is throughout the entire test.
      
      Note that simple streaming anon/file memory consumers also see this
      problem but it's not as obvious.  In those cases, kswapd is awake when
      it should not be.
      
      As there are at least two reclaim-related bugs out there, it's worth
      spelling out the user-visible impact.  This patch only addresses bugs
      related to excessive reclaim on NUMA hardware when the working set is
      larger than a NUMA node.  There is a bug related to high kswapd CPU
      usage but the reports are against laptops and other UMA hardware and is
      not addressed by this patch.

      thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page() · 9a982250
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap.  It's not an ideal
      situation.  It can lead to memory overhead.
      
      Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap().  But we
      cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context.
      
      It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in
      many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page
      just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want.
      
      The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page
      into queue for splitting.  The splitting itself will happen when we get
      memory pressure via shrinker interface.  The page will be dropped from
      list on freeing through compound page destructor.

      mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs · 53f9263b
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound.  It
      means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.
      
      Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
      how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined.  But
      this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
      would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
      now.
      
      The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
      whole -- compound_mapcount.  This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
      track PTE mapcount.
      
      We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
      order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
      ->mapping this time.
      
      Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
      increment/decrement compound_mapcount.  When we map part of compound
      page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.
      
      page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.
      
      Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters.  It
      makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.
      
      We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this.  When we split THP PMD for the
      first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
      in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
      These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.
      
      This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
      per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
      cases.

      mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM · 71baba4b

      __GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
      could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
      context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
      clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
      __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
      wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
      indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
      them prevents it.

      mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
      
      __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
      spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
      have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
      to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
      lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
      
      Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
      were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
      an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
      reserves.
      
      This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
      cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
      __GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
      are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
      callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
      redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
      kswapd for background reclaim.
      
      This patch then converts a number of sites
      
      o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
        pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
      
      o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
        __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
        into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
        are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
      
      o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
        helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
        checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
        positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
        is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
        flag manipulations.
      
      o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
        and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
      
      The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
      and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
      In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
      
      The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
      GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
      now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
      if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

      mm: migrate dirty page without clear_page_dirty_for_io etc · 42cb14b1
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      clear_page_dirty_for_io() has accumulated writeback and memcg subtleties
      since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty()
      which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to
      __set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too.
      
      No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into
      what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually
      achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag,
      and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another.
      
      It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and
      incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of
      the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which
      radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway).
      
      Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while
      interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even
      bother if the zone is the same.  Do the PageDirty movement there under
      tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible:
      bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an
      un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just
      not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional
      reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe).
      
      But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for
      those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping().

      mm: page migration avoid touching newpage until no going back · cf4b769a
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      We have had trouble in the past from the way in which page migration's
      newpage is initialized in dribs and drabs - see commit 8bdd6380 ("mm:
      fix direct reclaim writeback regression") which proposed a cleanup.
      
      We have no actual problem now, but I think the procedure would be clearer
      (and alternative get_new_page pools safer to implement) if we assert that
      newpage is not touched until we are sure that it's going to be used -
      except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move().
      
      So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into
      migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths.  Similarly
      migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be
      deleted: you cannot reach hugetlbfs_migrate_page() with a NULL mapping.
      
      Adjust stages 3 to 8 in the Documentation file accordingly.

      mm: simplify page migration's anon_vma comment and flow · 03f15c86
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      __unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma()
      and PageSwapCache(), with an odd control flow that's hard to follow.
      Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in
      the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one.
       Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials.
      
      I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any
      differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma
      confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique,
      which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration
      entries.  Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of
      migration entry ptes like everything else?  So lose that comment now, and
      enable migration entries for swapcache in the next patch.

      Clean up page migration a little more by calling remove_migration_ptes()
      from the same level, on success or on failure, from __unmap_and_move() or
      from unmap_and_move_huge_page().
      
      Don't reset page->mapping of a PageAnon old page in move_to_new_page(),
      leave that to when the page is freed.  Except for here in page migration,
      it has been an invariant that a PageAnon (bit set in page->mapping) page
      stays PageAnon until it is freed, and I think we're safer to keep to that.
      
      And with the above rearrangement, it's necessary because zap_pte_range()
      wants to identify whether a migration entry represents a file or an anon
      page, to update the appropriate rss stats without waiting on it.

      mm: page migration trylock newpage at same level as oldpage · 7db7671f
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Clean up page migration a little by moving the trylock of newpage from
      move_to_new_page() into __unmap_and_move(), where the old page has been
      locked.  Adjust unmap_and_move_huge_page() and balloon_page_migrate()
      accordingly.
      
      But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of
      newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so.
      Cutting out BUG()s is good, right?  But, to be honest, this is really to
      extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool
      of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses.
      
      Use an "else" instead of that "skip_unmap" label.

      mm: page migration use the put_new_page whenever necessary · 2def7424
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      I don't know of any problem from the way it's used in our current tree,
      but there is one defect in page migration's custom put_new_page feature.
      
      An unused newpage is expected to be released with the put_new_page(), but
      there was one MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS (0) path which released it with
      putback_lru_page(): which can be very wrong for a custom pool.
      
      Fixed more easily by resetting put_new_page once it won't be needed, than
      by adding a further flag to modify the rc test.

      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      After v4.3's commit 0610c25d ("memcg: fix dirty page migration")
      mem_cgroup_migrate() doesn't have much to offer in page migration: convert
      migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() to set_page_memcg() instead.
      
      Then rename mem_cgroup_migrate() to mem_cgroup_replace_page(), since its
      remaining callers are replace_page_cache_page() and shmem_replace_page():
      both of whom passed lrucare true, so just eliminate that argument.

      mm: page migration fix PageMlocked on migrated pages · 51afb12b
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Commit e6c509f8 ("mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()")
      in v3.7 inadvertently made mlock_migrate_page() impotent: page migration
      unmaps the page from userspace before migrating, and that commit clears
      PageMlocked on the final unmap, leaving mlock_migrate_page() with
      nothing to do.  Not a serious bug, the next attempt at reclaiming the
      page would fix it up; but a betrayal of page migration's intent - the
      new page ought to emerge as PageMlocked.
      
      I don't see how to fix it for mlock_migrate_page() itself; but easily
      fixed in remove_migration_pte(), by calling mlock_vma_page() when the vma
      is VM_LOCKED - under pte lock as in try_to_unmap_one().
      
      Delete mlock_migrate_page()?  Not quite, it does still serve a purpose for
      migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): where we could replace it by a test,
      clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page() sequence; but would that be an
      improvement?  mlock_migrate_page() is fairly lean, and let's make it
      leaner by skipping the irq save/restore now clearly not needed.

      mm, migrate: count pages failing all retries in vmstat and tracepoint · f2f81fb2
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      Migration tries up to 10 times to migrate pages that return -EAGAIN until
      it gives up.  If some pages fail all retries, they are counted towards the
      number of failed pages that migrate_pages() returns.  They should also be
      counted in the /proc/vmstat pgmigrate_fail and in the mm_migrate_pages
      tracepoint.
