Commit f50de2d3 (vmscan: have kswapd sleep for a short interval and double
check it should be asleep) can cause kswapd to enter an infinite loop if
running on a single-CPU system.  If all zones are unreclaimble,
sleeping_prematurely return 1 and kswapd will call balance_pgdat() again.
but it's totally meaningless, balance_pgdat() doesn't anything against
unreclaimable zone!

In AIM7 runs, recent kernels start swapping out anonymous pages well
before they should.  This is due to shrink_list falling through to
shrink_inactive_list if !inactive_anon_is_low(zone, sc), when all we
really wanted to do is pre-age some anonymous pages to give them extra
time to be referenced while on the inactive list.

The obvious fix is to make sure that shrink_list does not fall through to
scanning/reclaiming inactive pages when we called it to scan one of the
active lists.

This change should be safe because the loop in shrink_zone ensures that we
will still shrink the anon and file inactive lists whenever we should.

shrink_all_zone() was introduced by commit d6277db4 (swsusp: rework
memory shrinker) for hibernate performance improvement.  and
sc.swap_cluster_max was introduced by commit a06fe4d307 (Speed freeing
memory for suspend).

commit a06fe4d307 said

   Without the patch:
   Freed  14600 pages in  1749 jiffies = 32.61 MB/s (Anomolous!)
   Freed  88563 pages in 14719 jiffies = 23.50 MB/s
   Freed 205734 pages in 32389 jiffies = 24.81 MB/s

   Freed 116464 pages in   569 jiffies = 798.54 MB/s
   Freed 209699 pages in   705 jiffies = 1161.89 MB/s

At that time, their patch was pretty worth.  However, Modern Hardware
trend and recent VM improvement broke its worth.  From several reason, I
think we should remove shrink_all_zones() at all.

detail:

1) Old days, shrink_zone()'s slowness was mainly caused by stupid io-throttle
  at no i/o congestion.
  but current shrink_zone() is sane, not slow.

2) shrink_all_zone() try to shrink all pages at a time. but it doesn't works
  fine on numa system.
  example)
    System has 4GB memory and each node have 2GB. and hibernate need 1GB.

    optimal)
       steal 500MB from each node.
    shrink_all_zones)
       steal 1GB from node-0.

  Oh, Cache balancing logic was broken. ;)
  Unfortunately, Desktop system moved ahead NUMA at nowadays.
  (Side note, if hibernate require 2GB, shrink_all_zones() never success
   on above machine)

3) if the node has several I/O flighting pages, shrink_all_zones() makes
  pretty bad result.

  schenario) hibernate need 1GB

  1) shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-0
  2) but it only reclaimed 990MB
  3) stupidly, shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-1
  4) it reclaimed 990MB

  Oh, well. it reclaimed twice much than required.
  In the other hand, current shrink_zone() has sane baling out logic.
  then, it doesn't make overkill reclaim. then, we lost shrink_zones()'s risk.

4) SplitLRU VM always keep active/inactive ratio very carefully. inactive list only
  shrinking break its assumption. it makes unnecessary OOM risk. it obviously suboptimal.

Now, shrink_all_memory() is only the wrapper function of do_try_to_free_pages().
it bring good reviewability and debuggability, and solve above problems.

side note: Reclaim logic unificication makes two good side effect.
 - Fix recursive reclaim bug on shrink_all_memory().
   it did forgot to use PF_MEMALLOC. it mean the system be able to stuck into deadlock.
 - Now, shrink_all_memory() got lockdep awareness. it bring good debuggability.

If reclaim fails to make sufficient progress, the priority is raised.
Once the priority is higher, kswapd starts waiting on congestion.
However, if the zone is below the min watermark then kswapd needs to
continue working without delay as there is a danger of an increased rate
of GFP_ATOMIC allocation failure.

This patch changes the conditions under which kswapd waits on congestion
by only going to sleep if the min watermarks are being met.

After kswapd balances all zones in a pgdat, it goes to sleep.  In the
event of no IO congestion, kswapd can go to sleep very shortly after the
high watermark was reached.  If there are a constant stream of allocations
from parallel processes, it can mean that kswapd went to sleep too quickly
and the high watermark is not being maintained for sufficient length time.

This patch makes kswapd go to sleep as a two-stage process.  It first
tries to sleep for HZ/10.  If it is woken up by another process or the
high watermark is no longer met, it's considered a premature sleep and
kswapd continues work.  Otherwise it goes fully to sleep.

This adds more counters to distinguish between fast and slow breaches of
watermarks.  A "fast" premature sleep is one where the low watermark was
hit in a very short time after kswapd going to sleep.  A "slow" premature
sleep indicates that the high watermark was breached after a very short
interval.

Isolators putting a page back to the LRU do not hold the page lock, and if
the page is mlocked, another thread might munlock it concurrently.

Expecting this, the putback code re-checks the evictability of a page when
it just moved it to the unevictable list in order to correct its decision.

The problem, however, is that ordering is not garuanteed between setting
PG_lru when moving the page to the list and checking PG_mlocked
afterwards:

	#0:				#1

	spin_lock()
					if (TestClearPageMlocked())
					  if (PageLRU())
					    move to evictable list
	SetPageLRU()
	spin_unlock()
	if (!PageMlocked())
	  move to evictable list

The PageMlocked() check may get reordered before SetPageLRU() in #0,
resulting in #0 not moving the still mlocked page, and in #1 failing to
isolate and move the page as well.  The page is now stranded on the
unevictable list.

The race condition is very unlikely.  The consequence currently is one
page falling off the reclaim grid and eventually getting freed with
PG_unevictable set, which triggers a warning in the page allocator.

TestClearPageMlocked() in #1 already provides full memory barrier
semantics.

This patch adds an explicit full barrier to force ordering between
SetPageLRU() and PageMlocked() so that either one of the competitors
rescues the page.

Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit

Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim
path).

memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft
limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then
reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree.

Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long
loops in case all swap is turned off.  The code has been refactored and
the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits.  For soft
limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim.  Instead of bailing out after
two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by
which the soft limit is exceeded.  The proportion has been empirically
determined.

For mem_cgroup, shrink_zone() may call shrink_list() with nr_to_scan=1, in
which case shrink_list() _still_ calls isolate_pages() with the much
larger SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX.  It effectively scales up the inactive list scan
rate by up to 32 times.

For example, with 16k inactive pages and DEF_PRIORITY=12, (16k >> 12)=4.
So when shrink_zone() expects to scan 4 pages in the active/inactive list,
the active list will be scanned 4 pages, while the inactive list will be
(over) scanned SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX=32 pages in effect.  And that could break
the balance between the two lists.

It can further impact the scan of anon active list, due to the anon
active/inactive ratio rebalance logic in balance_pgdat()/shrink_zone():

inactive anon list over scanned => inactive_anon_is_low() == TRUE
                                => shrink_active_list()
                                => active anon list over scanned

So the end result may be

- anon inactive  => over scanned
- anon active    => over scanned (maybe not as much)
- file inactive  => over scanned
- file active    => under scanned (relatively)

The accesses to nr_saved_scan are not lock protected and so not 100%
accurate, however we can tolerate small errors and the resulted small
imbalanced scan rates between zones.

global_lru_pages() / zone_lru_pages() can be used in two ways:
- to estimate max reclaimable pages in determine_dirtyable_memory()
- to calculate the slab scan ratio

When swap is full or not present, the anon lru lists are not reclaimable
and also won't be scanned.  So the anon pages shall not be counted in both
usage scenarios.  Also rename to _reclaimable_pages: now they are counting
the possibly reclaimable lru pages.

It can greatly (and correctly) increase the slab scan rate under high
memory pressure (when most file pages have been reclaimed and swap is

When way too many processes go into direct reclaim, it is possible for all
of the pages to be taken off the LRU.  One result of this is that the next
process in the page reclaim code thinks there are no reclaimable pages
left and triggers an out of memory kill.

One solution to this problem is to never let so many processes into the
page reclaim path that the entire LRU is emptied.  Limiting the system to
only having half of each inactive list isolated for reclaim should be
safe.

If the system is running a heavy load of processes then concurrent reclaim
can isolate a large number of pages from the LRU. /proc/vmstat and the
output generated for an OOM do not show how many pages were isolated.

This has been observed during process fork bomb testing (mstctl11 in LTP).

This patch shows the information about isolated pages.

If sc->isolate_pages() return 0, we don't need to call shrink_page_list().
In past days, shrink_inactive_list() handled it properly.

But commit fb8d14e1 (three years ago commit!) breaked it.  current
shrink_inactive_list() always call shrink_page_list() although
isolate_pages() return 0.

This patch restore proper return value check.

Requirements:
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay before calling shrink_page_list().
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay after nr_scan related statistics
     modification.

try_to_unmap currently has multiple modi (migration, munlock, normal unmap)
which are selected by magic flag variables. The logic is not very straight
forward, because each of these flag change multiple behaviours (e.g.
migration turns off aging, not only sets up migration ptes etc.)
Also the different flags interact in magic ways.

A later patch in this series adds another mode to try_to_unmap, so
this becomes quickly unmanageable.

Replace the different flags with a action code (migration, munlock, munmap)
and some additional flags as modifiers (ignore mlock, ignore aging).
This makes the logic more straight forward and allows easier extension
to new behaviours. Change all the caller to declare what they want to
do.

This patch is supposed to be a nop in behaviour. If anyone can prove
it is not that would be a bug.

This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
vmstat:

A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.

A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.

An mlocked page might lose the isolatation race.  This causes the page to
clear PG_mlocked while it remains in a VM_LOCKED vma.  This means it can
be put onto the [in]active list.  We can rescue it by using try_to_unmap()
in shrink_page_list().

But now, As Wu Fengguang pointed out, vmscan has a bug.  If the page has
PG_referenced, it can't reach try_to_unmap() in shrink_page_list() but is
put into the active list.  If the page is referenced repeatedly, it can
remain on the [in]active list without being moving to the unevictable
list.

This patch fixes it.

The isolated page is "cursor_page" not "page".

This could cause LRU list corruption under memory pressure, caught by
