Joonsoo has reported that he is able to trigger OOM for !costly high
order requests (heavy fork() workload close the OOM) with the new oom
detection rework.  This is because we rely only on should_reclaim_retry
when the compaction is disabled and it only checks watermarks for the
requested order and so we might trigger OOM when there is a lot of free
memory.

It is not very clear what are the usual workloads when the compaction is
disabled.  Relying on high order allocations heavily without any
mechanism to create those orders except for unbound amount of reclaim is
certainly not a good idea.

To prevent from potential regressions let's help this configuration
some.  We have to sacrifice the determinsm though because there simply
is none here possible.  should_compact_retry implementation for
!CONFIG_COMPACTION, which was empty so far, will do watermark check for
order-0 on all eligible zones.  This will cause retrying until either
the reclaim cannot make any further progress or all the zones are
depleted even for order-0 pages.  This means that the number of retries
is basically unbounded for !costly orders but that was the case before
the rework as well so this shouldn't regress.

"mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" has
removed the upper bound for the reclaim/compaction retries based on the
number of reclaimed pages for costly orders.  While this is desirable
the patch did miss a mis interaction between reclaim, compaction and the
retry logic.  The direct reclaim tries to get zones over min watermark
while compaction backs off and returns COMPACT_SKIPPED when all zones
are below low watermark + 1<<order gap.  If we are getting really close
to OOM then __compaction_suitable can keep returning COMPACT_SKIPPED a
high order request (e.g.  hugetlb order-9) while the reclaim is not able
to release enough pages to get us over low watermark.  The reclaim is
still able to make some progress (usually trashing over few remaining
pages) so we are not able to break out from the loop.

I have seen this happening with the same test described in "mm: consider
compaction feedback also for costly allocation" on a swapless system.
The original problem got resolved by "vmscan: consider classzone_idx in
compaction_ready" but it shows how things might go wrong when we
approach the oom event horizont.

The reason why compaction requires being over low rather than min
watermark is not clear to me.  This check was there essentially since
56de7263 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails").  It is clearly an implementation detail though and
we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be
able to cope with such eventuality.  The only place in
should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for
compaction_withdrawn() case.

Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given
zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would
would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed.  In
this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES
plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark
check.  The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation
order.  The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining
memory for a single allocation request just unblock
__compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further
progress.

The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was
provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further
progress.  !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g.  order-2
pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while
order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER retry logic is mostly handled inside
should_reclaim_retry currently where we decide to not retry after at
least order worth of pages were reclaimed or the watermark check for at
least one zone would succeed after reclaiming all pages if the reclaim
hasn't made any progress.  Compaction feedback is mostly ignored and we
just try to make sure that the compaction did at least something before
giving up.

The first condition was added by a41f24ea ("page allocator: smarter
retry of costly-order allocations) and it assumed that lumpy reclaim
could have created a page of the sufficient order.  Lumpy reclaim, has
been removed quite some time ago so the assumption doesn't hold anymore.
Remove the check for the number of reclaimed pages and rely on the
compaction feedback solely.  should_reclaim_retry now only makes sure
that we keep retrying reclaim for high order pages only if they are
hidden by watermaks so order-0 reclaim makes really sense.

should_compact_retry now keeps retrying even for the costly allocations.
The number of retries is reduced wrt.  !costly requests because they are
less important and harder to grant and so their pressure shouldn't cause
contention for other requests or cause an over reclaim.  We also do not
reset no_progress_loops for costly request to make sure we do not keep
reclaiming too agressively.

This has been tested by running a process which fragments memory:
	- compact memory
	- mmap large portion of the memory (1920M on 2GRAM machine with 2G
	  of swapspace)
	- MADV_DONTNEED single page in PAGE_SIZE*((1UL<<MAX_ORDER)-1)
	  steps until certain amount of memory is freed (250M in my test)
	  and reduce the step to (step / 2) + 1 after reaching the end of
	  the mapping
	- then run a script which populates the page cache 2G (MemTotal)
	  from /dev/zero to a new file
And then tries to allocate
nr_hugepages=$(awk '/MemAvailable/{printf "%d\n", $2/(2*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)
huge pages.

should_reclaim_retry will give up retries for higher order allocations
if none of the eligible zones has any requested or higher order pages
available even if we pass the watermak check for order-0.  This is done
because there is no guarantee that the reclaimable and currently free
pages will form the required order.

This can, however, lead to situations where the high-order request (e.g.
order-2 required for the stack allocation during fork) will trigger OOM
too early - e.g.  after the first reclaim/compaction round.  Such a
system would have to be highly fragmented and there is no guarantee
further reclaim/compaction attempts would help but at least make sure
that the compaction was active before we go OOM and keep retrying even
if should_reclaim_retry tells us to oom if

	- the last compaction round backed off or
	- we haven't completed at least MAX_COMPACT_RETRIES active
	  compaction rounds.

The first rule ensures that the very last attempt for compaction was not
ignored while the second guarantees that the compaction has done some
work.  Multiple retries might be needed to prevent occasional pigggy
backing of other contexts to steal the compacted pages before the
current context manages to retry to allocate them.

compaction_failed() is taken as a final word from the compaction that
the retry doesn't make much sense.  We have to be careful though because
the first compaction round is MIGRATE_ASYNC which is rather weak as it
ignores pages under writeback and gives up too easily in other
situations.  We therefore have to make sure that MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode
has been used before we give up.  With this logic in place we do not
have to increase the migration mode unconditionally and rather do it
only if the compaction failed for the weaker mode.  A nice side effect
is that the stronger migration mode is used only when really needed so
this has a potential of smaller latencies in some cases.

Please note that the compaction doesn't tell us much about how
successful it was when returning compaction_made_progress so we just
have to blindly trust that another retry is worthwhile and cap the
number to something reasonable to guarantee a convergence.

If the given number of successful retries is not sufficient for a
reasonable workloads we should focus on the collected compaction
tracepoints data and try to address the issue in the compaction code.
If this is not feasible we can increase the retries limit.

wait_iff_congested has been used to throttle allocator before it retried
another round of direct reclaim to allow the writeback to make some
progress and prevent reclaim from looping over dirty/writeback pages
without making any progress.

We used to do congestion_wait before commit 0e093d99 ("writeback: do
not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if
significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone")
but that led to undesirable stalls and sleeping for the full timeout
even when the BDI wasn't congested.  Hence wait_iff_congested was used
instead.

But it seems that even wait_iff_congested doesn't work as expected.  We
might have a small file LRU list with all pages dirty/writeback and yet
the bdi is not congested so this is just a cond_resched in the end and
can end up triggering pre mature OOM.

This patch replaces the unconditional wait_iff_congested by
congestion_wait which is executed only if we _know_ that the last round
of direct reclaim didn't make any progress and dirty+writeback pages are
more than a half of the reclaimable pages on the zone which might be
usable for our target allocation.  This shouldn't reintroduce stalls
fixed by 0e093d99 because congestion_wait is called only when we are
getting hopeless when sleeping is a better choice than OOM with many
pages under IO.

We have to preserve logic introduced by commit 373ccbe5 ("mm,
vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any
progress") into the __alloc_pages_slowpath now that wait_iff_congested
is not used anymore.  As the only remaining user of wait_iff_congested
is shrink_inactive_list we can remove the WQ specific short sleep from
wait_iff_congested because the sleep is needed to be done only once in
the allocation retry cycle.

__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.

Compaction can provide a wild variation of feedback to the caller.  Many
of them are implementation specific and the caller of the compaction
(especially the page allocator) shouldn't be bound to specifics of the
current implementation.

This patch abstracts the feedback into three basic types:
	- compaction_made_progress - compaction was active and made some
	  progress.
	- compaction_failed - compaction failed and further attempts to
	  invoke it would most probably fail and therefore it is not
	  worth retrying
	- compaction_withdrawn - compaction wasn't invoked for an
          implementation specific reasons. In the current implementation
          it means that the compaction was deferred, contended or the
          page scanners met too early without any progress. Retrying is
          still worthwhile.

compaction_result will be used as the primary feedback channel for
compaction users.  At the same time try_to_compact_pages (and
potentially others) assume a certain ordering where a more specific
feedback takes precendence.

This gets a bit awkward when we have conflicting feedback from different
zones.  E.g one returing COMPACT_COMPLETE meaning the full zone has been
scanned without any outcome while other returns with COMPACT_PARTIAL aka
made some progress.  The caller should get COMPACT_PARTIAL because that
means that the compaction still can make some progress.  The same
applies for COMPACT_PARTIAL vs COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED.

Reorder PARTIAL to be the largest one so the larger the value is the
more progress we have done.

COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met.  This
is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this
feedback and make any decisions based on that.  The current caller might
be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and
that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted.  Make sure we
distinguish the full and partial zone walks.

Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success
and be optimistic in retrying.

The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably
reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE
with the new semantic.

try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when
the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped
in 99% of cases due to watermark checks.  This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED
basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism.

Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their
ordering in the enum.  This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be
returned only when all eligible zones are skipped.

As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath
will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim.

Compaction code is doing weird dances between COMPACT_FOO -> int ->
unsigned long

But there doesn't seem to be any reason for that.  All functions which
return/use one of those constants are not expecting any other value so it
really makes sense to define an enum for them and make it clear that no
other values are expected.

This is a pure cleanup and shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Motivation:
As pointed out by Linus [2][3] relying on zone_reclaimable as a way to
communicate the reclaim progress is rater dubious. I tend to agree,
not only it is really obscure, it is not hard to imagine cases where a
single page freed in the loop keeps all the reclaimers looping without
getting any progress because their gfp_mask wouldn't allow to get that
page anyway (e.g. single GFP_ATOMIC alloc and free loop). This is rather
rare so it doesn't happen in the practice but the current logic which we
have is rather obscure and hard to follow a also non-deterministic.

This is an attempt to make the OOM detection more deterministic and
easier to follow because each reclaimer basically tracks its own
progress which is implemented at the page allocator layer rather spread
out between the allocator and the reclaim.  The more on the
implementation is described in the first patch.

I have tested several different scenarios but it should be clear that
testing OOM killer is quite hard to be representative.  There is usually
a tiny gap between almost OOM and full blown OOM which is often time
sensitive.  Anyway, I have tested the following 2 scenarios and I would
appreciate if there are more to test.

Testing environment: a virtual machine with 2G of RAM and 2CPUs without
any swap to make the OOM more deterministic.

1) 2 writers (each doing dd with 4M blocks to an xfs partition with 1G
   file size, removes the files and starts over again) running in
   parallel for 10s to build up a lot of dirty pages when 100 parallel
   mem_eaters (anon private populated mmap which waits until it gets
   signal) with 80M each.

   This causes an OOM flood of course and I have compared both patched
   and unpatched kernels. The test is considered finished after there
   are no OOM conditions detected. This should tell us whether there are
   any excessive kills or some of them premature (e.g. due to dirty pages):

I have performed two runs this time each after a fresh boot.

The patched kernel run noticeably longer while invoking OOM killer same
number of times. This means that the original implementation is much
more aggressive and triggers the OOM killer sooner. free pages stats
show that neither kernels went OOM too early most of the time, though. I
guess the difference is in the backoff when retries without any progress
do sleep for a while if there is memory under writeback or dirty which
is highly likely considering the parallel IO.
Both kernels have seen races where zone wasn't marked unreclaimable
and we still hit the OOM killer. This is most likely a race where
a task managed to exit between the last allocation attempt and the oom
killer invocation.

2) 2 writers again with 10s of run and then 10 mem_eaters to consume as much
   memory as possible without triggering the OOM killer. This required a lot
   of tuning but I've considered 3 consecutive runs in three different boots
   without OOM as a success.

* base kernel
size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(16*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)

* patched kernel
size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(12*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)

That means 40M more memory was usable without triggering OOM killer. The
base kernel sometimes managed to handle the same as patched but it
wasn't consistent and failed in at least on of the 3 runs. This seems
like a minor improvement.

I was testing also GPF_REPEAT costly requests (hughetlb) with fragmented
memory and under memory pressure. The results are in patch 11 where the
logic is implemented. In short I can see huge improvement there.

I am certainly interested in other usecases as well as well as any
feedback. Especially those which require higher order requests.

This patch (of 14):

While playing with the oom detection rework [1] I have noticed that my
heavy order-9 (hugetlb) load close to OOM ended up in an endless loop
where the reclaim hasn't made any progress but did_some_progress didn't
reflect that and compaction_suitable was backing off because no zone is
above low wmark + 1 << order.

It turned out that this is in fact an old standing bug in
compaction_ready which ignores the requested_highidx and did the
watermark check for 0 classzone_idx.  This succeeds for zone DMA most
of the time as the zone is mostly unused because of lowmem protection.
As a result costly high order allocatios always report a successfull
progress even when there was none.  This wasn't a problem so far
because these allocations usually fail quite early or retry only few
times with __GFP_REPEAT but this will change after later patch in this
series so make sure to not lie about the progress and propagate
requested_highidx down to compaction_ready and use it for both the
watermak check and compaction_suitable to fix this issue.

The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead
windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only
source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages.  The workingset
refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get
accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the
active list.

With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system)
dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache
more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them
pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc.

This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page
cache can currently be used to cache the database working set.  This
patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the
same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory.

Andres observed that his database workload is struggling with the
transaction journal creating pressure on frequently read pages.

Access patterns like transaction journals frequently write the same
pages over and over, but in the majority of cases those pages are never
read back.  There are no caching benefits to be had for those pages, so
activating them and having them put pressure on pages that do benefit
from caching is a bad choice.

Leave page activations to read accesses and don't promote pages based on
writes alone.

It could be said that partially written pages do contain cache-worthy
data, because even if *userspace* does not access the unwritten part,
the kernel still has to read it from the filesystem for correctness.
However, a counter argument is that these pages enjoy at least *some*
protection over other inactive file pages through the writeback cache,
in the sense that dirty pages are written back with a delay and cache
reclaim leaves them alone until they have been written back to disk.
Should that turn out to be insufficient and we see increased read IO
from partial writes under memory pressure, we can always go back and
update grab_cache_page_write_begin() to take (pos, len) so that it can
tell partial writes from pages that don't need partial reads.  But for
now, keep it simple.

This is a follow-up to

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg101739.html

where Andres reported his database workingset being pushed out by the
minimum size enforcement of the inactive file list - currently 50% of
cache - as well as repeatedly written file pages that are never actually
read.

Two changes fell out of the discussions.  The first change observes that
pages that are only ever written don't benefit from caching beyond what
the writeback cache does for partial page writes, and so we shouldn't
promote them to the active file list where they compete with pages whose
cached data is actually accessed repeatedly.  This change comes in two
patches - one for in-cache write accesses and one for refaults triggered
by writes, neither of which should promote a cache page.

Second, with the refault detection we don't need to set 50% of the cache
aside for used-once cache anymore since we can detect frequently used
pages even when they are evicted between accesses.  We can allow the
active list to be bigger and thus protect a bigger workingset that isn't
challenged by streamers.  Depending on the access patterns, this can
increase major faults during workingset transitions for better
performance during stable phases.

This patch (of 3):

When rewriting a page, the data in that page is replaced with new data.
This means that evicting something else from the active file list, in
order to cache data that will be replaced by something else, is likely
to be a waste of memory.

It is better to save the active list for frequently read pages, because
reads actually use the data that is in the page.

This patch ignores partial writes, because it is unclear whether the
complexity of identifying those is worth any potential performance gain
obtained from better caching pages that see repeated partial writes at
large enough intervals to not get caught by the use-twice promotion code
used for the inactive file list.

The page allocator fast path uses either the requested nodemask or
cpuset_current_mems_allowed if cpusets are enabled.  If the allocation
context allows watermarks to be ignored then it can also ignore memory
policies.  However, on entering the allocator slowpath the nodemask may
still be cpuset_current_mems_allowed and the policies are enforced.
This patch resets the nodemask appropriately before entering the
slowpath.

Bad pages should be rare so the code handling them doesn't need to be
inline for performance reasons.  Put it to separate function which
returns void.  This also assumes that the initial page_expected_state()
result will match the result of the thorough check, i.e.  the page
doesn't become "good" in the meanwhile.  This matches the same
expectations already in place in free_pages_check().

The new free_pcp_prepare() function shares a lot of code with
free_pages_prepare(), which makes this a maintenance risk when some
future patch modifies only one of them.  We should be able to achieve
the same effect (skipping free_pages_check() from !DEBUG_VM configs) by
adding a parameter to free_pages_prepare() and making it inline, so the
checks (and the order != 0 parts) are eliminated from the call from
free_pcp_prepare().

!DEBUG_VM: bloat-o-meter reports no difference, as my gcc was already
inlining free_pages_prepare() and the elimination seems to work as
expected

a debug option.

Every page allocated checks a number of page fields for validity.  This
catches corruption bugs of pages that are already freed but it is
expensive.  This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages
only when the PCP lists are being refilled.  All compound pages are
checked.  This potentially avoids debugging checks entirely if the PCP
lists are never emptied and refilled so some corruption issues may be
missed.  Full checking requires DEBUG_VM.

With the two deferred debugging patches applied, the impact to a page
allocator microbenchmark is

Note that the free paths for large numbers of pages is impacted as the
debugging cost gets shifted into that path when the page data is no
longer necessarily cache-hot.

Every page free checks a number of page fields for validity.  This
catches premature frees and corruptions but it is also expensive.  This
patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages at the time they
are drained from the PCP list.  This will trigger the bug but the site
that freed the corrupt page will be lost.  To get the full context, a
kernel rebuild with DEBUG_VM is necessary.

An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which
optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be
trivially allowed.  But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the
cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate
branching overhead with jump labels.

This patch converts it so that static key is used properly.  It's also
switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are
converted to return bool instead of int.  We also provide a new variant
__cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was
already done and they key was enabled.  This is needed for
get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively
slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags.

The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected
but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile.

Check without side-effects should be easier to maintain.  It also
removes the duplicated cpupid and flags reset done in !DEBUG_VM variant
of both free_pcp_prepare() and then bulkfree_pcp_prepare().  Finally, it
enables the next patch.

It shouldn't result in new branches, thanks to inlining of the check.

This is also slightly faster because cpupid information is not set on

that are difficult to detect later.  A bad page could be due to a number
of fields.  Instead of using multiple branches, this patch combines
multiple fields into a single branch.  A detailed check is only
necessary if that check fails.

Again, the benefit is marginal but avoiding excessive branches is
important.  Ideally the paths would not have to check these conditions
at all but regrettably abandoning the tests would make use-after-free
bugs much harder to detect.

The allocator fast path looks up the first usable zone in a zonelist and
then get_page_from_freelist does the same job in the zonelist iterator.
This patch preserves the necessary information.

The benefit is negligible and the results are within the noise but each
cycle counts.

Watermarks have to be checked on every allocation including the number
of pages being allocated and whether reserves can be accessed.  The
reserves only matter if memory is limited and the free_pages adjustment
only applies to high-order pages.  This patch adds a shortcut for
order-0 pages that avoids numerous calculations if there is plenty of
free memory yielding the following performance difference in a page
allocator microbenchmark;

The fair zone allocation policy is not without cost but it can be
reduced slightly.  This patch removes an unnecessary local variable,
checks the likely conditions of the fair zone policy first, uses a bool
instead of a flags check and falls through when a remote node is
encountered instead of doing a full restart.  The benefit is marginal
but it's there

The benefit is marginal at best but one of the most important benefits,
avoiding a second search when falling back to another node is not
triggered by this particular test so the benefit for some corner cases
is understated.
