Instead of abusing page_is_file_cache() for LRU list index arithmetic, add another helper with a more appropriate name and convert the non-boolean users of page_is_file_cache() accordingly. This new helper gives the LRU base type a page is supposed to live on, inactive anon or inactive file.

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 full/absent), thus reduce false OOM kills.

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.

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.

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.

Try to fix memcg's lru rotation sanity: make memcg use the same logic as the global LRU does. Now, at __isolate_lru_page() retruns -EBUSY, the page is rotated to the tail of LRU in global LRU's isolate LRU pages. But in memcg, it's not handled.

At lumpy reclaim, a page failed to be taken by __isolate_lru_page() can be pushed back to "src" list by list_move(). But the page may not be from "src" list. This pushes the page back to wrong LRU.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning uselessly. Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to /proc/vmstat. If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. The problem is that zone_reclaim() failing at all means the zone gets marked full. This can cause situations where a zone is usable, but is being skipped because it has been considered full. Take a situation where a large tmpfs mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall. The pages do not get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future. This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about what occured when zone_reclaim() failued. The zone only gets marked full if it really is unreclaimable. If it's a case that the scan did not occur or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then the zone is simply skipped. There is a side-effect to this patch. Currently, if zone_reclaim() successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go ahead. With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after zone_reclaim() does some work. This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc ("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the zonelist_cache was introduced. It was not intended that zone_reclaim() aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct reclaim can still be an option. Due to the age of the bug, it should be considered a -stable candidate.

A bug was brought to my attention against a distro kernel but it affects mainline and I believe problems like this have been reported in various guises on the mailing lists although I don't have specific examples at the moment. The reported problem was that malloc() stalled for a long time (minutes in some cases) if a large tmpfs mount was occupying a large percentage of memory overall. The pages did not get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim() because the zone_reclaim_mode was unsuitable, but the lists are uselessly scanned frequencly making the CPU spin at near 100%. This patchset intends to address that bug and bring the behaviour of zone_reclaim() more in line with expectations which were noticed during investigation. It is based on top of mmotm and takes advantage of Kosaki's work with respect to zone_reclaim(). Patch 1 fixes the heuristics that zone_reclaim() uses to determine if the scan should go ahead. The broken heuristic is what was causing the malloc() stall as it uselessly scanned the LRU constantly. Currently, zone_reclaim is assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 and historically it could not deal with tmpfs pages at all. This fixes up the heuristic so that an unnecessary scan is more likely to be correctly avoided. Patch 2 notes that zone_reclaim() returning a failure automatically means the zone is marked full. This is not always true. It could have failed because the GFP mask or zone_reclaim_mode were unsuitable. Patch 3 introduces a counter zreclaim_failed that will increment each time the zone_reclaim scan-avoidance heuristics fail. If that counter is rapidly increasing, then zone_reclaim_mode should be set to 0 as a temporarily resolution and a bug reported because the scan-avoidance heuristic is still broken. This patch: On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but the problem is that the heuristic is not being properly applied and is basically assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 if it is enabled. The lack of proper detection can manfiest as high CPU usage as the LRU list is scanned uselessly. Historically, once enabled it was depending on NR_FILE_PAGES which may include swapcache pages that the reclaim_mode cannot deal with. Patch vmscan-change-the-number-of-the-unmapped-files-in-zone-reclaim.patch by Kosaki Motohiro noted that zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_PAGES) included pages that were not file-backed such as swapcache and made a calculation based on the inactive, active and mapped files. This is far superior when zone_reclaim==1 but if RECLAIM_SWAP is set, then NR_FILE_PAGES is a reasonable starting figure. This patch alters how zone_reclaim() works out how many pages it might be able to reclaim given the current reclaim_mode. If RECLAIM_SWAP is set in the reclaim_mode it will either consider NR_FILE_PAGES as potential candidates or else use NR_{IN}ACTIVE}_PAGES-NR_FILE_MAPPED to discount swapcache and other non-file-backed pages. If RECLAIM_WRITE is not set, then NR_FILE_DIRTY number of pages are not candidates. If RECLAIM_SWAP is not set, then NR_FILE_MAPPED are not.

The "move pages to active list" and "move pages to inactive list" code blocks are mostly identical and can be served by a function. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out. Note that buffer_heads_over_limit check will also be carried out for re-activated pages, which is slightly different from pre-2.6.28 kernels. Also, Rik's "vmscan: evict use-once pages first" patch could totally stop scans of active file list when memory pressure is low. So the net effect could be, the number of buffer heads is now more likely to grow large. However that's fine according to Johannes' comments: I don't think that this could be harmful. We just preserve the buffer mappings of what we consider the working set and with low memory pressure, as you say, this set is not big. As to stripping of reactivated pages: the only pages we re-activate for now are those VM_EXEC mapped ones. Since we don't expect IO from or to these pages, removing the buffer mappings in case they grow too large should be okay, I guess.

Thanks to all the involved people for the great LKML discussions. ) the problem =========== For a typical desktop, the most precious working set is composed of *actively accessed* (1) memory mapped executables (2) and their anonymous pages (3) and other files (4) and the dcache/icache/.. slabs while the least important data are (5) infrequently used or use-once files For a typical desktop, one major problem is busty and large amount of (5) use-once files flushing out the working set. Inside the working set, (4) dcache/icache have already been too sticky ;-) So we only have to care (2) anonymous and (1)(3) file pages. anonymous pages =============== Anonymous pages are effectively immune to the streaming IO attack, because we now have separate file/anon LRU lists. When the use-once files crowd into the file LRU, the list's "quality" is significantly lowered. Therefore the scan balance policy in get_scan_ratio() will choose to scan the (low quality) file LRU much more frequently than the anon LRU. file pages ========== Rik proposed to *not* scan the active file LRU when the inactive list grows larger than active list. This guarantees that when there are use-once streaming IO, and the working set is not too large(so that active_size < inactive_size), the active file LRU will *not* be scanned at all. So the not-too-large working set can be well protected. But there are also situations where the file working set is a bit large so that (active_size >= inactive_size), or the streaming IOs are not purely use-once. In these cases, the active list will be scanned slowly. Because the current shrink_active_list() policy is to deactivate active pages regardless of their referenced bits. The deactivated pages become susceptible to the streaming IO attack: the inactive list could be scanned fast (500MB / 50MBps = 10s) so that the deactivated pages don't have enough time to get re-referenced. Because a user tend to switch between windows in intervals from seconds to minutes. This patch holds mapped executable pages in the active list as long as they are referenced during each full scan of the active list. Because the active list is normally scanned much slower, they get longer grace time (eg. 100s) for further references, which better matches the pace of user operations. Therefore this patch greatly prolongs the in-cache time of executable code, when there are moderate memory pressures. before patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I after patch: guaranteed to be cached if reference intervals < I+A (except when randomly reclaimed by the lumpy reclaim) where A = time to fully scan the active file LRU I = time to fully scan the inactive file LRU Note that normally A >> I. side effects ============ This patch is safe in general, it restores the pre-2.6.28 mmap() behavior but in a much smaller and well targeted scope. One may worry about some one to abuse the PROT_EXEC heuristic. But as Andrew Morton stated, there are other tricks to getting that sort of boost. Another concern is the PROT_EXEC mapped pages growing large in rare cases, and therefore hurting reclaim efficiency. But a sane application targeted for large audience will never use PROT_EXEC for data mappings. If some home made application tries to abuse that bit, it shall be aware of the consequences. If it is abused to scale of 2/3 total memory, it gains nothing but overheads. benchmarks ========== 1) memory tight desktop 1.1) brief summary - clock time and major faults are reduced by 50%; - pswpin numbers are reduced to ~1/3.

I'd attribute that improvement to the mmap readahead improvements :-) - The pgmajfault increment during the file copy is 633-630=3 vs 260-210=50. That's a huge improvement - which means with the VM_EXEC protection logic, active mmap pages is pretty safe even under partially cache hot streaming IO. - when active:inactive file lru size reaches 1:1, their scan rates is 1:20.8 under 10% cache hot IO. (computed with formula Dpgdeactivate:Dpgfree) That roughly means the active mmap pages get 20.8 more chances to get re-referenced to stay in memory. - The absolute nr_mapped drops considerably to 1/9 during the big IO, and the dropped pages are mostly inactive ones. The patch has almost no impact in this aspect, that means it won't unnecessarily increase memory pressure. (In contrast, your 20% mmap protection ratio will keep them all, and therefore eliminate the extra 41 major faults to restore working set of zsh etc.) The iotrace.rb read throughput is 151.194384MB/s 284.198252s 100001x 450560b --load pattern-hot-10 --play /b/sparse which means the inactive list is rotated at the speed of 250MB/s, so a full scan of which takes about 3.5 seconds, while a full scan of active file list takes about 77 seconds. 2.4) X mode results We can reach roughly the same conclusions for X desktop: nr_mapped nr_active_file nr_inactive_file pgmajfault pgdeactivate pgfree 2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection ON: begin: 9740 8920 64075 561 0 678360 end: 768 218254 220029 565 798953 21057006 restore: 857 218543 220987 606 799462 21075710 restore X: 2414 218560 225344 797 799462 21080795 2.6.30-rc4-mm VM_EXEC protection OFF: begin: 9368 5035 26389 554 0 633391 end: 770 218449 221230 661 646472 17832500 restore: 1113 218466 220978 710 649881 17905235 restore X: 2687 218650 225484 947 802700 21083584 - the absolute nr_mapped drops considerably (to 1/13 of the original size) during the streaming IO. - the delta of pgmajfault is 3 vs 107 during IO, or 236 vs 393 during the whole process.

In a following patch, the usage of swap cache is recorded into swap_map. This patch is for necessary interface changes to do that. 2 interfaces: - swapcache_prepare() - swapcache_free() are added for allocating/freeing refcnt from swap-cache to existing swap entries. But implementation itself is not changed under this patch. At adding swapcache_free(), memcg's hook code is moved under swapcache_free(). This is better than using scattered hooks.

When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those pages first, before considering evicting other pages. This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems because only three things can happen to an inactive file page: 1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list 2) evicted by the pageout code 3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or allocated for something else. If the pages are used for streaming IO, this pageout pattern continues. Otherwise, we will fall back to the normal pageout pattern.

Commit 33c120ed ("more aggressively use lumpy reclaim") increased how aggressive lumpy reclaim was by isolating both active and inactive pages for asynchronous lumpy reclaim on costly-high-order pages and for cheap-high-order when memory pressure is high. However, if the system is under heavy pressure and there are dirty pages, asynchronous IO may not be sufficient to reclaim a suitable page in time. This patch causes the caller to enter synchronous lumpy reclaim for costly-high-order pages and for cheap-high-order pages when under memory pressure. Minchan.kim@gmail.com said: Andy added synchronous lumpy reclaim with c661b078. At that time, lumpy reclaim is not agressive. His intension is just for high-order users.(above PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). After some time, Rik added aggressive lumpy reclaim with 33c120ed. His intention was to do lumpy reclaim when high-order users and trouble getting a small set of contiguous pages. So we also have to add synchronous pageout for small set of contiguous pages.

Commit a6dc60f8 ("vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to may_unmap") removed the may_swap flag, but memcg had used it as a flag for "we need to use swap?", as the name indicate. And in the current implementation, memcg cannot reclaim mapped file caches when mem+swap hits the limit. re-introduce may_swap flag and handle it at get_scan_ratio(). This patch doesn't influence any scan_control users other than memcg.

Commit d979677c ("mm: shrink_all_memory(): use sc.nr_reclaimed") broke the memory shrinking used by hibernation, becuse it did not update shrink_all_zones() in accordance with the other changes it made. Fix this by making shrink_all_zones() update sc->nr_reclaimed instead of overwriting its value.

Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management. The following extra flag is defined: (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2) The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the cache driver. If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation. The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low. The caller to alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages(). This can lead to unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where it is needed. This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to try_to_free_pages().

When a shrinker has a negative number of objects to delete, the symbol name of the shrinker should be printed, not shrink_slab. This also makes the error message slightly more informative.
