Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing
page information later.  But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock
(or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap
entry.  So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be
changed in another thread.  If the page swap count is not 0, we should
not delete the page from the swap cache.  This is fixed via checking
page swap count again after acquiring the page lock.

I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race
via a test program.  If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by
multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and
swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.
That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and
the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance
regression.

Cgroups currently don't report how much shmem they use, which can be
useful data to have, in particular since shmem is included in the
cache/file item while being reclaimed like anonymous memory.

Add a counter to track shmem pages during charging and uncharging.

When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages.  If the pages are
not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately.  Otherwise we
can't reclaim them.  We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by
setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal
swapout way.

We use normal page reclaim policy.  Since MADV_FREE pages are put into
inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed
according to their age.  This is expected, because we don't want to
reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

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

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

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

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

The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.

We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc.  Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.

 - Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
   we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
   MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
   reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
   fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
   environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
   our setup using MADV_FREE.

 - Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
   against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
   because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
   slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
   still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
   mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
   lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
   usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.

 - Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
   accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
   problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
   MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
   lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
   workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
   applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
   applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.

To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes).  The
patchset use the second idea.  The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages.  So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages.  Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages.  MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages.  These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.

For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages.  The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages.  The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side.  To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay.  Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily.  The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.

This patch (of 6):

Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary.  It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap.  For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.

Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary.  If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.

The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal
code

The backoff mechanism is not needed.  If we have MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES
loops without progress, we'll OOM anyway; backing off might cut one or
two iterations off that in the rare OOM case.  If we have intermittent
success reclaiming a few pages, the backoff function gets reset also,
and so is of little help in these scenarios.

We might want a backoff function for when there IS progress, but not
enough to be satisfactory.  But this isn't that.  Remove it.

NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free
event in the allocator.  This was used primarily to measure the
reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should
give up on them.  In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding
patches by a different mechanism.

Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically
exported to userspace as well.  It's however unlikely that anyone
outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way.

Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

Commit 246e87a9 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
sought to avoid high reclaim priorities for memcg by forcing it to scan
a minimum amount of pages when lru_pages >> priority yielded nothing.
This was done at a time when reclaim decisions like dirty throttling
were tied to the priority level.

Nowadays, the only meaningful thing still tied to priority dropping
below DEF_PRIORITY - 2 is gating whether laptop_mode=1 is generally
allowed to write.  But that is from an era where direct reclaim was
still allowed to call ->writepage, and kswapd nowadays avoids writes
until it's scanned every clean page in the system.  Potential changes to
how quick sc->may_writepage could trigger are of little concern.

Remove the force_scan stuff, as well as the ugly multi-pass target
calculation that it necessitated.

Commit b95a2f2d ("mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg

unreclaimable zones in order to prevent massive overreclaim with many
cgroups.

The latter patch effectively neutered the behavior completely for all
but extreme memory pressure.  But in those situations we might as well
drop the reclaimers to lower priority levels.  Remove the check.

Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".

Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage.  We have seen similar cases at Facebook.

The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages.  In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met.  Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.

This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs.  This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer.  If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.

Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.

Patch #6 is the odd one out.  It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.

If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.

This patch (of 9):

Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:

$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

top - 13:42:59 up  3:37,  1 user,  load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01

KiB Mem:  31371520 total, 30915136 used,   456384 free,      320 buffers
KiB Swap:  6284224 total,   115712 used,  6168512 free.    48192 cached Mem

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
   76 root      20   0       0      0      0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3

At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.

Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance.  Up until
commit 1d82de61 ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism.  It considered zones whose
theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as
unreclaimable and backed away from them.  This guard was erroneously
removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node.

However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported
here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the
threshold is met.  Kswapd would stay awake anyway.

Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off.  If kswapd runs
through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single
page, make it back off from the node.  This is the same number of shots
direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM.  Kswapd will go to sleep on
that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus
proving the node reclaimable again.

Each slab kmem cache has per cpu array caches.  The array caches are
created when the kmem_cache is created, either via kmem_cache_create()
or lazily when the first object is allocated in context of a kmem
enabled memcg.  Array caches are replaced by writing to /proc/slabinfo.

Array caches are protected by holding slab_mutex or disabling
interrupts.  Array cache allocation and replacement is done by
__do_tune_cpucache() which holds slab_mutex and calls
kick_all_cpus_sync() to interrupt all remote processors which confirms
there are no references to the old array caches.

IPIs are needed when replacing array caches.  But when creating a new
array cache, there's no need to send IPIs because there cannot be any
references to the new cache.  Outside of memcg kmem accounting these
IPIs occur at boot time, so they're not a problem.  But with memcg kmem
accounting each container can create kmem caches, so the IPIs are
wasteful.

Avoid unnecessary IPIs when creating array caches.

Test which reports the IPI count of allocating slab in 10000 memcg:

	import os

	def ipi_count():
		with open("/proc/interrupts") as f:
			for l in f:
				if 'Function call interrupts' in l:
					return int(l.split()[1])

	def echo(val, path):
		with open(path, "w") as f:
			f.write(val)

	n = 10000
	os.chdir("/mnt/cgroup/memory")
	pid = str(os.getpid())
	a = ipi_count()
	for i in range(n):
		os.mkdir(str(i))
		echo("1G\n", "%d/memory.limit_in_bytes" % i)
		echo("1G\n", "%d/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes" % i)
		echo(pid, "%d/cgroup.procs" % i)
		open("/tmp/x", "w").close()
		os.unlink("/tmp/x")
	b = ipi_count()
	print "%d loops: %d => %d (+%d ipis)" % (n, a, b, b-a)
	echo(pid, "cgroup.procs")
	for i in range(n):
		os.rmdir(str(i))

unpatched: 10000 loops: 1192 => 48933 (+47741 ipis)

The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes
crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good.

The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86
get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because
get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate
page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures.
(The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.)

But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to
page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the
get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on.

One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use
get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP
using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem
driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel
feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.)

So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the
get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into
__put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery:

Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be
removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap()
reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the
page to drop that reference.

This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the
percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(),
since it now maintains its own elevated reference.

This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going
forward.

This reverts commit 2947ba05.

Dan Williams reported dax-pmem kernel warnings with the following signature:

   WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 245 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155 percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0x1f5/0x200
   percpu ref (dax_pmem_percpu_release [dax_pmem]) <= 0 (0) after switching to atomic

... and bisected it to this commit, which suggests possible memory corruption
caused by the x86 fast-GUP conversion.

He also pointed out:

 "
  This is similar to the backtrace when we were not properly handling
  pud faults and was fixed with this commit: 220ced16 "mm: fix
  get_user_pages() vs device-dax pud mappings"

  I've found some missing _devmap checks in the generic
  get_user_pages_fast() path, but this does not fix the regression
  [...]
 "

So given that there are known bugs, and a pretty robust looking bisection
points to this commit suggesting that are unknown bugs in the conversion
as well, revert it for the time being - we'll re-try in v4.13.

Commit 6afcf8ef ("mm, compaction: fix NR_ISOLATED_* stats for pfn
based migration") moved the dec_node_page_state() call (along with the
page_is_file_cache() call) to after putback_lru_page().

But page_is_file_cache() can change after putback_lru_page() is called,
so it should be called before putback_lru_page(), as it was before that
patch, to prevent NR_ISOLATE_* stats from going negative.

Without this fix, non-CONFIG_SMP kernels end up hanging in the
while(too_many_isolated()) { congestion_wait() } loop in
shrink_active_list() due to the negative stats.

This reverts commit 374ad05a.

While the patch worked great for userspace allocations, the fact that
softirq loses the per-cpu allocator caused problems.  It needs to be
redone taking into account that a separate list is needed for hard/soft
IRQs or alternatively find a cheap way of detecting reentry due to an
interrupt.  Both are possible but sufficiently tricky that it shouldn't
be rushed.

Jesper had one method for allowing softirqs but reported that the cost
was high enough that it performed similarly to a plain revert.  His
figures for netperf TCP_STREAM were as follows

  Baseline v4.10.0  : 60316 Mbit/s
  Current 4.11.0-rc6: 47491 Mbit/s
  Jesper's patch    : 60662 Mbit/s
  This patch        : 60106 Mbit/s

As this is a regression, I wish to revert to noirq allocator for now and
go back to the drawing board.

Both MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE handled with down_read(mmap_sem).

It's critical to not clear pmd intermittently while handling MADV_FREE
to avoid race with MADV_DONTNEED:

	CPU0:				CPU1:
				madvise_free_huge_pmd()
				 pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full()
madvise_dontneed()
 zap_pmd_range()
  pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) == 0 (without ptl)
  // skip the pmd
				 set_pmd_at();
				 // pmd is re-established

It results in MADV_DONTNEED skipping the pmd, leaving it not cleared.
It violates MADV_DONTNEED interface and can result is userspace
misbehaviour.

Basically it's the same race as with numa balancing in
change_huge_pmd(), but a bit simpler to mitigate: we don't need to
preserve dirty/young flags here due to MADV_FREE functionality.

Stress testing of the current z3fold implementation on a 8-core system
revealed it was possible that a z3fold page deleted from its unbuddied
list in z3fold_alloc() would be put on another unbuddied list by
z3fold_free() while z3fold_alloc() is still processing it.  This has
been introduced with commit 5a27aa82 ("z3fold: add kref refcounting")
due to the removal of special handling of a z3fold page not on any list
in z3fold_free().

To fix this, the z3fold page lock should be taken in z3fold_alloc()
before the pool lock is released.  To avoid deadlocking, we just try to
lock the page as soon as we get a hold of it, and if trylock fails, we
drop this page and take the next one.

We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code.
vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain
per cpu lru caches.  This seems more than necessary because both can run
on a single WQ.  Both do not block on locks requiring a memory
allocation nor perform any allocations themselves.  We will save one
rescuer thread this way.

On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which
doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all
workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created).

Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but
Hugh Dickins has reported:

: 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load.  At
: first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory");
: but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh"
: before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck
: in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers.
: kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages().

This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a
forward progress.  We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and
vmstat.
