The thp prefix is more frequently used than hpage and we should be
consistent between the various functions.

Now that workingset detection is implemented for anonymous LRU, we don't
need large inactive list to allow detecting frequently accessed pages
before they are reclaimed, anymore. This effectively reverts the
temporary measure put in by commit "mm/vmscan: make active/inactive ratio
as 1:1 for anon lru".

This patch implements workingset detection for anonymous LRU. All the
infrastructure is implemented by the previous patches so this patch just
activates the workingset detection by installing/retrieving the shadow
entry and adding refault calculation.

In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on active list. Growing active list results in rebalancing
active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive
list. Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list. Numbers denote the number of
pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive).
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
This patch tries to fix this issue. Like as file LRU, newly created or
swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list. They are
promoted to active list if enough reference happens. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected.
Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be
promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the
size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive).
To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset
detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

Patch series "workingset protection/detection on the anonymous LRU list", v7.
* PROBLEM
In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on the active list. Growing the active list results in
rebalancing active/inactive list so old pages on the active list are
demoted to the inactive list. Hence, hot page on the active list isn't
protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list and system can contain total 100
pages. Numbers denote the number of pages on active/inactive list (active
| inactive). (h) stands for hot pages and (uo) stands for used-once
pages.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
As we can see, hot pages are swapped-out and it would cause swap-in later.
* SOLUTION
Since this is what we want to avoid, this patchset implements workingset
protection. Like as the file LRU list, newly created or swap-in anonymous
page is started on the inactive list. Also, like as the file LRU list, if
enough reference happens, the page will be promoted. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
hot pages remains in the active list. :)
* EXPERIMENT
I tested this scenario on my test bed and confirmed that this problem
happens on current implementation. I also checked that it is fixed by
this patchset.
* SUBJECT
workingset detection
* PROBLEM
Later part of the patchset implements the workingset detection for the
anonymous LRU list. There is a corner case that workingset protection
could cause thrashing. If we can avoid thrashing by workingset detection,
we can get the better performance.
Following is an example of thrashing due to the workingset protection.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)
4. workload: 50 (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh), swap-in 50(wh)
5. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)
6. repeat 4, 5
Without workingset detection, this kind of workload cannot be promoted and
thrashing happens forever.
* SOLUTION
Therefore, this patchset implements workingset detection. All the
infrastructure for workingset detecion is already implemented, so there is
not much work to do. First, extend workingset detection code to deal with
the anonymous LRU list. Then, make swap cache handles the exceptional
value for the shadow entry. Lastly, install/retrieve the shadow value
into/from the swap cache and check the refault distance.
* EXPERIMENT
I made a test program to imitates above scenario and confirmed that
problem exists. Then, I checked that this patchset fixes it.
My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus and 6100MB memory. But,
the amount of the memory that the test program can use is about 280 MB.
This is because the system uses large ram-backed swap and large ramdisk to
capture the trace.
Test scenario is like as below.
1. allocate cold memory (512MB)
2. allocate hot-1 memory (96MB)
3. activate hot-1 memory (96MB)
4. allocate another hot-2 memory (96MB)
5. access cold memory (128MB)
6. access hot-2 memory (96MB)
7. repeat 5, 6
Since hot-1 memory (96MB) is on the active list, the inactive list can
contains roughly 190MB pages. hot-2 memory's re-access interval (96+128
MB) is more 190MB, so it cannot be promoted without workingset detection
and swap-in/out happens repeatedly. With this patchset, workingset
detection works and promotion happens. Therefore, swap-in/out occurs
less.
Here is the result. (average of 5 runs)
type swap-in swap-out
base 863240 989945
patch 681565 809273
As we can see, patched kernel do less swap-in/out.
* OVERALL TEST (ebizzy using modified random function)
ebizzy is the test program that main thread allocates lots of memory and
child threads access them randomly during the given times. Swap-in will
happen if allocated memory is larger than the system memory.
The random function that represents the zipf distribution is used to make
hot/cold memory. Hot/cold ratio is controlled by the parameter. If the
parameter is high, hot memory is accessed much larger than cold one. If
the parameter is low, the number of access on each memory would be
similar. I uses various parameters in order to show the effect of
patchset on various hot/cold ratio workload.
My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus, 1024 MB memory and 5120 MB
ram swap.
Result format is as following.
param: 1-1024-0.1
- 1 (number of thread)
- 1024 (allocated memory size, MB)
- 0.1 (zipf distribution alpha,
0.1 works like as roughly uniform random,
1.3 works like as small portion of memory is hot and the others are cold)
pswpin: smaller is better
std: standard deviation
improvement: negative is better

As we can see, all the cases show improvement. Especially, test case with
zipf distribution 1.3 show more improvements. It means that if there is a
hot/cold tendency in anon pages, this patchset works better.
This patch (of 6):
Current implementation of LRU management for anonymous page has some
problems. Most important one is that it doesn't protect the workingset,
that is, pages on the active LRU list. Although, this problem will be
fixed in the following patchset, the preparation is required and this
patch does it.
What following patch does is to implement workingset protection. After
the following patchset, newly created or swap-in pages will start their
lifetime on the inactive list. If inactive list is too small, there is
not enough chance to be referenced and the page cannot become the
workingset.
In order to provide the newly anonymous or swap-in pages enough chance to
be referenced again, this patch makes active/inactive LRU ratio as 1:1.
This is just a temporary measure. Later patch in the series introduces
workingset detection for anonymous LRU that will be used to better decide
if pages should start on the active and inactive list. Afterwards this
patch is effectively reverted.

The vmstat pgrefill is useful together with pgscan and pgsteal stats to
measure the reclaim efficiency. However vmstat's pgrefill is not updated
consistently at system level. It gets updated for both global and memcg
reclaim however pgscan and pgsteal are updated for only global reclaim.
So, update pgrefill only for global reclaim. If someone is interested in
the stats representing both system level as well as memcg level reclaim,
then consult the root memcg's memory.stat instead of /proc/vmstat.

The global variable "vm_total_pages" is a relic from older days. There is
only a single user that reads the variable - build_all_zonelists() - and
the first thing it does is update it.
Use a local variable in build_all_zonelists() instead and remove the
global variable.

When an outside process lowers one of the memory limits of a cgroup (or
uses the force_empty knob in cgroup1), direct reclaim is performed in the
context of the write(), in order to directly enforce the new limit and
have it being met by the time the write() returns.
Currently, this reclaim activity is accounted as memory pressure in the
cgroup that the writer(!) belongs to. This is unexpected. It
specifically causes problems for senpai
(https://github.com/facebookincubator/senpai), which is an agent that
routinely adjusts the memory limits and performs associated reclaim work
in tens or even hundreds of cgroups running on the host. The cgroup that
senpai is running in itself will report elevated levels of memory
pressure, even though it itself is under no memory shortage or any sort of
distress.
Move the psi annotation from the central cgroup reclaim function to
callsites in the allocation context, and thereby no longer count any
limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure. If the newly set limit causes
the workload inside the cgroup into direct reclaim, that of course will
continue to count as memory pressure.

mem_cgroup_protected currently is both used to set effective low and min
and return a mem_cgroup_protection based on the result. As a user, this
can be a little unexpected: it appears to be a simple predicate function,
if not for the big warning in the comment above about the order in which
it must be executed.
This change makes it so that we separate the state mutations from the
actual protection checks, which makes it more obvious where we need to be
careful mutating internal state, and where we are simply checking and
don't need to worry about that.

Patch series "mm, memcg: memory.{low,min} reclaim fix & cleanup", v4.
This series contains a fix for a edge case in my earlier protection
calculation patches, and a patch to make the area overall a little more
robust to hopefully help avoid this in future.
This patch (of 2):
A cgroup can have both memory protection and a memory limit to isolate it
from its siblings in both directions - for example, to prevent it from
being shrunk below 2G under high pressure from outside, but also from
growing beyond 4G under low pressure.
Commit 9783aa9917f8 ("mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim")
implemented proportional scan pressure so that multiple siblings in excess
of their protection settings don't get reclaimed equally but instead in
accordance to their unprotected portion.
During limit reclaim, this proportionality shouldn't apply of course:
there is no competition, all pressure is from within the cgroup and should
be applied as such. Reclaim should operate at full efficiency.
However, mem_cgroup_protected() never expected anybody to look at the
effective protection values when it indicated that the cgroup is above its
protection. As a result, a query during limit reclaim may return stale
protection values that were calculated by a previous reclaim cycle in
which the cgroup did have siblings.
When this happens, reclaim is unnecessarily hesitant and potentially slow
to meet the desired limit. In theory this could lead to premature OOM
kills, although it's not obvious this has occurred in practice.
Workaround the problem by special casing reclaim roots in
mem_cgroup_protection. These memcgs are never participating in the
reclaim protection because the reclaim is internal.
We have to ignore effective protection values for reclaim roots because
mem_cgroup_protected might be called from racing reclaim contexts with
different roots. Calculation is relying on root -> leaf tree traversal
therefore top-down reclaim protection invariants should hold. The only
exception is the reclaim root which should have effective protection set
to 0 but that would be problematic for the following setup:
Let's have global and A's reclaim in parallel:
|
A (low=2G, usage = 3G, max = 3G, children_low_usage = 1.5G)
|\
| C (low = 1G, usage = 2.5G)
B (low = 1G, usage = 0.5G)
for A reclaim we have
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
For the global reclaim
A.elow = A.low
B.elow = min(B.usage, B.low) because children_low_usage <= A.elow
C.elow = min(C.usage, C.low)
With the effective values resetting we have A reclaim
A.elow = 0
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
and global reclaim could see the above and then
B.elow = C.elow = 0 because children_low_usage > A.elow
Which means that protected memcgs would get reclaimed.
In future we would like to make mem_cgroup_protected more robust against
racing reclaim contexts but that is likely more complex solution than this
simple workaround.

In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.
To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).
Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but
only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.
The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

Patch series "fix for "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative
thrashing" patchset"
This patchset fixes some problems of the patchset, "mm: balance LRU
lists based on relative thrashing", which is now merged on the mainline.
Patch "mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix" is the
result of discussion with Johannes. See following link.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200520232525.798933-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org
And, the other two are minor things which are found when I try to rebase
my patchset.
This patch (of 3):
After ("mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix"), we
compare refault distances to active_file + anon. But age of the
non-resident information is only driven by the file LRU. As a result,
we may overestimate the recency of any incoming refaults and activate
them too eagerly, causing unnecessary LRU churn in certain situations.
Make anon aging drive nonresident age as well to address that.

When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that
list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list
starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age
information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant
latencies until the scanner has caught up.
Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list
receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the
other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum
rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while
still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of
the lists need to adjust.

The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to
reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already
counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count
writepage calls during reclaim.
For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the
anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative
balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and
reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that
don't require IO to reclaim.
For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would
have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it -
premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes.
Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing
cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that
wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page
cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger
batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from
kswapd.
For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a
stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently
accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can
still refine the measurements.
Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the
page belongs to.
Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require
IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias?
First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are
referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the
anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age
anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their
hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still
want to reclaim the coldest memory overall.
Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is
swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out
before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan
pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache
experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous
pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on
the file cache instead.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is
done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is
thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous
pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them.
This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same
level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the
cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain.
When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual
cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that
initiated the reclaim cycle.
If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure
balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration

Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:
1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.
2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.
Since commit a528910e12ec ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing")
we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events,
they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is
too small for its workingset and needs to grow.
For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more
time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list.
Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we
reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off.
Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative
reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances
that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when
they're in an executable mapping. The others get deactivated. When it
comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as
rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost
to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the
deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the
other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing
memory.
Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU
balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost
signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO
cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual
rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.
There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.
Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.
The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.
This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.
Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.

When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU
lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid
div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so:
anon_prio = swappiness;
file_prio = 200 - anon_prio;
[...]
/*
* The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely
* proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on
* each list that were recently referenced and in active use.
*/
ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1);
ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1;
fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1);
fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1;
spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);
fraction[0] = ap;
fraction[1] = fp;
denominator = ap + fp + 1;
While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp
to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still
add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is
always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one
can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.

With the advent of fast random IO devices (SSDs, PMEM) and in-memory swap
devices such as zswap, it's possible for swap to be much faster than
filesystems, and for swapping to be preferable over thrashing filesystem
caches.
Allow setting swappiness - which defines the rough relative IO cost of
cache misses between page cache and swap-backed pages - to reflect such
situations by making the swap-preferred range configurable.

Having statistics on pages scanned and pages reclaimed for both anon and
file pages makes it easier to evaluate changes to LRU balancing.
While at it, clean up the stat-keeping mess for isolation, putback,
reclaim stats etc. a bit: first the physical LRU operation (isolation and
putback), followed by vmstats, reclaim_stats, and then vm events.

Fix an nr_isolate_* mismatch problem between cma and dirty lazyfree pages.
If try_to_unmap_one is used for reclaim and it detects a dirty lazyfree
page, then the lazyfree page is changed to a normal anon page having
SwapBacked by commit 802a3a92ad7a ("mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages"). Even
with the change, reclaim context correctly counts isolated files because
it uses is_file_lru to distinguish file. And the change to anon is not
happened if try_to_unmap_one is used for migration. So migration context
like compaction also correctly counts isolated files even though it uses
page_is_file_lru insted of is_file_lru. Recently page_is_file_cache was
renamed to page_is_file_lru by commit 9de4f22a60f7 ("mm: code cleanup for
MADV_FREE").
But the nr_isolate_* mismatch problem happens on cma alloc. There is
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list which is being used only by cma. It was
introduced by commit 02c6de8d757c ("mm: cma: discard clean pages during
contiguous allocation instead of migration") to reclaim clean file pages
without migration. The cma alloc uses both reclaim_clean_pages_from_list
and migrate_pages, and it uses page_is_file_lru to count isolated files.
If there are dirty lazyfree pages allocated from cma memory region, the
pages are counted as isolated file at the beginging but are counted as
isolated anon after finished.
Mem-Info:
Node 0 active_anon:3045904kB inactive_anon:611448kB active_file:14892kB inactive_file:205636kB unevictable:10416kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):37664kB mapped:630216kB dirty:384kB writeback:0kB shmem:42576kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB all_unreclaimable? no
Like log above, there were too much isolated files, 37664kB, which
triggers too_many_isolated in reclaim even when there is no actually
isolated file in system wide. It could be reproducible by running two
programs, writing on MADV_FREE page and doing cma alloc, respectively.
Although isolated anon is 0, I found that the internal value of isolated
anon was the negative value of isolated file.
Fix this by compensating the isolated count for both LRU lists. Count
non-discarded lazyfree pages in shrink_page_list, then compensate the
counted number in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).
The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.
This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.
The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.
This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.
In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.
This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.
So this patch
- renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
- removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
- If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.
Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

Previously 0 was assigned to variable 'lruvec_size', but the variable was
never read later. So the assignment can be removed.

pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx could be accessed concurrently in
wakeup_kswapd(). Plain writes and reads without any lock protection
result in data races. Fix them by adding a pair of READ|WRITE_ONCE() as
well as saving a branch (compilers might well optimize the original code
in an unintentional way anyway). While at it, also take care of
pgdat->kswapd_order and non-kswapd threads in allow_direct_reclaim(). The
data races were reported by KCSAN,

kswapd kernel thread starts either with a CPU affinity set to the full cpu
mask of its target node or without any affinity at all if the node is
CPUless. There is a cpu hotplug callback (kswapd_cpu_online) that
implements an elaborate way to update this mask when a cpu is onlined.
It is not really clear whether there is any actual benefit from this
scheme. Completely CPU-less NUMA nodes rarely gain a new CPU during
runtime. Drop the code for that reason. If there is a real usecase then
we can resurrect and simplify the code.

When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a7027 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping
pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with
a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce,
lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read). I didn't see that much down
on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes). It might be caused by the test configuration,
which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg,
so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru. It sounds
not very usual in mordern production environment.
That commit did two major changes:
1. Call page_evictable()
2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible
It looks they contribute the most overhead. The page_evictable() is a
function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by
page reclaim path only. However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds
better to make it inline. However, it calls page_mapping() which is not
inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop
operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it.
Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since
SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it
with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch.
With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test
bench and get back normal on my VM. Since the test bench configuration is
not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it
sounds good enough IMHO.
The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4:
mainline w/ inline fix
150MB 154MB
With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up. The data with using
smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch.
Shakeel Butt did the below test:
On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100
GiB sparse file (less than a single node). Just ran a single instance to
not cause the lru lock contention. The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB
of=/dev/null bs=4k". Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and
measured the time it took.
Without patch: 56.64143 +- 0.672 sec
With patches: 56.10 +- 0.21 sec

Commit 68600f623d69 ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off
error") makes the scan size round up to @denominator regardless of the
memory cgroup's state, online or offline. This affects the overall
reclaiming behavior: the corresponding LRU list is eligible for
reclaiming only when its size logically right shifted by @sc->priority
is bigger than zero in the former formula.
For example, the inactive anonymous LRU list should have at least 0x4000
pages to be eligible for reclaiming when we have 60/12 for
swappiness/priority and without taking scan/rotation ratio into account.
After the roundup is applied, the inactive anonymous LRU list becomes
eligible for reclaiming when its size is bigger than or equal to 0x1000
in the same condition.
(0x4000 >> 12) * 60 / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1
((0x1000 >> 12) * 60) + 200) / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1
aarch64 has 512MB huge page size when the base page size is 64KB. The
memory cgroup that has a huge page is always eligible for reclaiming in
that case.
The reclaiming is likely to stop after the huge page is reclaimed,
meaing the further iteration on @sc->priority and the silbing and child
memory cgroups will be skipped. The overall behaviour has been changed.
This fixes the issue by applying the roundup to offlined memory cgroups
only, to give more preference to reclaim memory from offlined memory
cgroup. It sounds reasonable as those memory is unlikedly to be used by
anyone.
The issue was found by starting up 8 VMs on a Ampere Mustang machine,
which has 8 CPUs and 16 GB memory. Each VM is given with 2 vCPUs and
2GB memory. It took 264 seconds for all VMs to be completely up and
784MB swap is consumed after that. With this patch applied, it took 236
seconds and 60MB swap to do same thing. So there is 10% performance
improvement for my case. Note that KSM is disable while THP is enabled
in the testing.

Since commit 0a432dcbeb32 ("mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on
memcg kmem"), shrinkers' idr is protected by CONFIG_MEMCG instead of
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM, so it makes no sense to protect shrinker idr replace
with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM.
And in the CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SLOB case, shrinker_idr contains only
shrinker, and it is deferred_split_shrinker. But it is never actually
called, since idr_replace() is never compiled due to the wrong #ifdef.
The deferred_split_shrinker all the time is staying in half-registered
state, and it's never called for subordinate mem cgroups.

We split the LRU lists into inactive and an active parts to maximize
workingset protection while allowing just enough inactive cache space to
faciltate readahead and writeback for one-off file accesses (e.g. a
linear scan through a file, or logging); or just enough inactive anon to
maintain recent reference information when reclaim needs to swap.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, inactive:active size
decisions are done on a per-cgroup level. As a result, we'll reclaim a
cgroup's workingset when it doesn't have cold pages, even when one of its
siblings has plenty of it that should be reclaimed first.
For example: workload A has 50M worth of hot cache but doesn't do any
one-off file accesses; meanwhile, parallel workload B scans files and
rarely accesses the same page twice.
If these workloads were to run in an uncgrouped system, A would be
protected from the high rate of cache faults from B. But if they were put
in parallel cgroups for memory accounting purposes, B's fast cache fault
rate would push out the hot cache pages of A. This is unexpected and
undesirable - the "scan resistance" of the page cache is broken.
This patch moves inactive:active size balancing decisions to the root of
reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by looking at the recursive size of the inactive and the
active file sets of the cgroup subtree at the beginning of the reclaim
cycle, and then making a decision - scan or skip active pages - that
applies throughout the entire run and to every cgroup involved.
With that in place, in the test above, the VM will recognize that there
are plenty of inactive pages in the combined cache set of workloads A and
B and prefer the one-off cache in B over the hot pages in A. The scan
resistance of the cache is restored.

We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is
stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file
LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable
periods, and minimize IO during transitions.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the
local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring. As a result,
cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages
of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be.
[ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under
continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of
inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also
done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages
eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative
size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch
here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ]
This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim. Instead of
remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that
caused the reclaim to happen. When refaults later occur, they'll
correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows.
I.e. if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the
refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just
the local order down inside C.
