Add the new helper, try_to_set_owner(), which tries to update mm->owner
once we see c->mm == mm. This way mm_update_next_owner() doesn't need to
restart the list_for_each_entry/for_each_process loops from the very
beginning if it races with exit/exec, it can just continue.
Unlike the current code, try_to_set_owner() re-checks tsk->mm == mm before
it drops tasklist_lock, so it doesn't need get/put_task_struct().

Patch series "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1".
This patchset puts all cgroup v1's members of struct mem_cgroup, struct
mem_cgroup_per_node and struct task_struct under the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1
config option. If cgroup v1 support is not required (and it's true for
many cgroup users these days), it allows to save a bit of memory and
compile out some code, some of which is on relatively hot paths. It also
structures the code a bit better by grouping cgroup v1-specific stuff in
one place.
This patch (of 9):
memcg_account_kmem() consists of a trivial statistics change via
mod_memcg_state() call and a relatively large memcg1-specific part.
Let's factor out the mod_memcg_state() call and move the rest into the
mm/memcontrol-v1.c file. Also rename memcg_account_kmem() into
memcg1_account_kmem() for consistency.

Allow proactive reclaimers to submit an additional swappiness=<val>
argument to memory.reclaim. This overrides the global or per-memcg
swappiness setting for that reclaim attempt.
For example:
echo "2M swappiness=0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim
will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 0 (no
swap) regardless of the vm.swappiness sysctl setting.
Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim. The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim. The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting. However, there are a few
reasons we look to control the balance of file vs anon during proactive
reclaim, separately from reactive reclaim:
* Swapout should be limited to manage SSD write endurance. In near-OOM
situations we are fine with lots of swap-out to avoid OOMs. As these
are typically rare events, they have relatively little impact on write
endurance. However, proactive reclaim runs continuously and so its
impact on SSD write endurance is more significant. Therefore it is
desireable to control swap-out for proactive reclaim separately from
reactive reclaim
* Some userspace OOM killers like systemd-oomd[1] support OOM killing on
swap exhaustion. This makes sense if the swap exhaustion is triggered
due to reactive reclaim but less so if it is triggered due to proactive
reclaim (e.g. one could see OOMs when free memory is ample but anon is
just particularly cold). Therefore, it's desireable to have proactive
reclaim reduce or stop swap-out before the threshold at which OOM
killing occurs.
In the case of Meta's Senpai proactive reclaimer, we adjust vm.swappiness
before writes to memory.reclaim[2]. This has been in production for
nearly two years and has addressed our needs to control proactive vs
reactive reclaim behavior but is still not ideal for a number of reasons:
* vm.swappiness is a global setting, adjusting it can race/interfere
with other system administration that wishes to control vm.swappiness.
In our case, we need to disable Senpai before adjusting vm.swappiness.
* vm.swappiness is stateful - so a crash or restart of Senpai can leave
a misconfigured setting. This requires some additional management to
record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.
With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.

Patch series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim", v6.
This patch proposes augmenting the memory.reclaim interface with a
swappiness=<val> argument that overrides the swappiness value for that
instance of proactive reclaim.
Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim. The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim. The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting. However, there are a few

With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.
Previously, this exact interface addition was proposed by Yosry[3]. In
response, Roman proposed instead an interface to specify precise
file/anon/slab reclaim amounts[4]. More recently Huan also proposed this
as well[5] and others similarly questioned if this was the proper
interface.
Previous proposals sought to use this to allow proactive reclaimers to
effectively perform a custom reclaim algorithm by issuing proactive
reclaim with different settings to control file vs anon reclaim (e.g. to
only reclaim anon from some applications). Responses argued that
adjusting swappiness is a poor interface for custom reclaim.
In contrast, I argue in favor of a swappiness setting not as a way to
implement custom reclaim algorithms but rather to bias the balance of anon
vs file due to differences of proactive vs reactive reclaim. In this
context, swappiness is the existing interface for controlling this balance
and this patch simply allows for it to be configured differently for
proactive vs reactive reclaim.
Specifying explicit amounts of anon vs file pages to reclaim feels
inappropriate for this prupose. Proactive reclaimers are un-aware of the
relative age of file vs anon for a cgroup which makes it difficult to
manage proactive reclaim of different memory pools. A proactive reclaimer
would need some amount of anon reclaim attempts separate from the amount
of file reclaim attempts which seems brittle given that it's difficult to
observe the impact.

This patch (of 2):
We use the constants 0 and 200 in a few places in the mm code when
referring to the min and max swappiness. This patch adds MIN_SWAPPINESS

changes.

who are still using cgroup v1 should turn it on.
If the option is not set, memory controller can still be mounted under

Please note, that not all cgroup v1's memory controller code is guarded

Patch series "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under
config option", v2.
Cgroups v2 have been around for a while and many users have fully adopted
them, so they never use cgroups v1 features and functionality. Yet they
have to "pay" for the cgroup v1 support anyway:
1) the kernel binary contains an unused cgroup v1 code,
2) some code paths have additional checks which are not needed,
3) some common structures like task_struct and mem_cgroup contain unused
cgroup v1-specific members.
Cgroup v1's memory controller has a number of features that are not
supported by cgroup v2 and their implementation is pretty much self
contained. Most notably, these features are: soft limit reclaim, oom
handling in userspace, complicated event notification system, charge
migration. Cgroup v1-specific code in memcontrol.c is close to 4k lines
in size and it's intervened with generic and cgroup v2-specific code.
It's a burden on developers and maintainers.
This patchset aims to solve these problems by:
1) moving cgroup v1-specific memcg code to the new mm/memcontrol-v1.c file,
2) putting definitions shared by memcontrol.c and memcontrol-v1.c into the
mm/memcontrol-v1.h header,
3) introducing the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 config option, turned off by default,
4) making memcontrol-v1.c to compile only if CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is set.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not set, cgroup v1 memory controller is still available
for mounting, however no memory-specific control knobs are present.
This patch (of 14):
This patch introduces the mm/memcontrol-v1.c source file which will be
used for all legacy (cgroup v1) memory cgroup code. It also introduces
mm/memcontrol-v1.h to keep declarations shared between mm/memcontrol.c and
mm/memcontrol-v1.c.
As of now, let's compile it if CONFIG_MEMCG is set, similar to
mm/memcontrol.c. Later on it can be switched to use a separate config
option, so that the legacy code won't be compiled if not required.

Now the implementation of stable_node_dup() causes chain()/chain_prune()
interfaces and usages are overcomplicated.
Why? stable_node_dup() only find and return a candidate stable_node for
sharing, so the users have to recheck using stable_node_dup_any() if any
non-candidate stable_node exist. And try to ksm_get_folio() from it
again.
Actually, stable_node_dup() can just return a best stable_node as it can,
then the users can check if it's a candidate for sharing or not.
The code is simplified too and fewer corner cases: such as stable_node and
stable_node_dup can't be NULL if returned tree_folio is not NULL.

The code flow in cmp_and_merge_page() is suboptimal for handling the ksm
page and non-ksm page at the same time. For example:
- ksm page
1. Mostly just return if this ksm page is not migrated and this rmap_item
has been on the rmap hlist. Or we have to fix this rmap_item mapping.
2. But we absolutely don't need to checksum for this ksm page, since it
can't change.
- non-ksm page
1. First don't need to waste time searching stable tree if fast changing.
2. Should try to merge with zero page before search the stable tree.
3. Then search stable tree to find mergeable ksm page.
This patch optimizes the code flow so the handling differences between ksm
page and non-ksm page become clearer and more efficient too.

Patch series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup", v2.
This series mainly optimizes cmp_and_merge_page() to have more efficient
separate code flow for ksm page and non-ksm anon page.
- ksm page: don't need to calculate the checksum obviously.
- anon page: don't need to search stable tree if changing fast and try
to merge with zero page before searching ksm page on stable tree.
Please see the patch-2 for details.
Patch-3 is cleanup also a little optimization for the chain()/chain_prune
interfaces, which made the stable_tree_search()/stable_tree_insert() over
complex.
I have done simple testing using "hackbench -g 1 -l 300000" (maybe I need
to use a better workload) on my machine, have seen a little CPU usage
decrease of ksmd and some improvements of cmp_and_merge_page() latency:
We can see the latency of cmp_and_merge_page() when handling non-ksm anon
pages has been improved.
This patch (of 3):
In preparation for later changes, refactor out a new function called
try_to_merge_with_zero_page(), which tries to merge with zero page.

When trying to allocate a hugepage with no reserved ones free, it may be
allowed in case a number of overcommit hugepages was configured (using
/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages) and that number wasn't reached.
This allows for a behavior of having extra hugepages allocated
dynamically, if there're resources for it. Some sysadmins even prefer not
reserving any hugepages and setting a big number of overcommit hugepages.
But while attempting to allocate overcommit hugepages in a multi node
system (either NUMA or mempolicy/cpuset) said allocations might randomly
fail even when there're resources available for the allocation.
This happens due to allowed_mems_nr() only accounting for the number of
free hugepages in the nodes the current process belongs to and the surplus
hugepage allocation is done so it can be allocated in any node. In case
one or more of the requested surplus hugepages are allocated in a
different node, the whole allocation will fail due allowed_mems_nr()
returning a lower value.
So allocate surplus hugepages in one of the nodes the current process
belongs to.
Easy way to reproduce this issue is to use a 2+ NUMA nodes system:
# echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
# echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages
# numactl -m0 ./tools/testing/selftests/mm/map_hugetlb 2
Repeating the execution of map_hugetlb test application will eventually
fail when the hugepage ends up allocated in a different node.

'access_memory' is an artificial memory access pattern generator for DAMON
tests. It creates and accesses memory regions that the user specified the
number and size via the command line. However, real access part of the
program ignores the user-specified size of each region. Instead, it uses
a hard-coded value, 10 MiB. Fix it to use user-defined size.
Note that all existing 'access_memory' users are setting the region size
as 10 MiB. Hence no real problem has happened so far.

ondemand_readahead() scales up the readahead window if the current read
would hit the readahead mark placed by itself. However the condition is
mostly dead code because:
a) In case of async readahead we always increase ra->start so ra->start
== index is never true.
b) In case of sync readahead we either go through
try_context_readahead() in which case ra->async_size == 1 < ra->size or
we go through initial_readahead where ra->async_size == ra->size iff
ra->size == max_pages.
So the only practical effect is reducing async_size for large initial
reads. Make the code more obvious.

Patch series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks".
When we were internally testing performance of recent kernels, we have
noticed quite variable performance of readahead arising from various
quirks in readahead code. So I went on a cleaning spree there. This is a
batch of patches resulting out of that. A quick testing in my test VM
with the following fio job file:
[global]
direct=0
ioengine=sync
invalidate=1
blocksize=4k
size=10g
readwrite=read
[reader]
numjobs=1
shows that this patch series improves the throughput from variable one in
310-340 MB/s range to rather stable one at 350 MB/s. As a side effect
these cleanups also address the issue noticed by Bruz Zhang [1].

This patch (of 10):
page_cache_sync_ra() is called when a folio we want to read is not in the
page cache. It is expected that it creates the folio (and perhaps the
following folios as well) and submits reads for them unless some error
happens. However if index == ra->start + ra->size, ondemand_readahead()
will treat the call as another async readahead hit. Thus ra->start will
be advanced and we create pages and queue reads from ra->start + ra->size
further. Consequentially the page at 'index' is not created and
filemap_get_pages() has to always go through filemap_create_folio() path.
This behavior has particularly unfortunate consequences when we have two
IO threads sequentially reading from a shared file (as is the case when
NFS serves sequential reads). In that case what can happen is:
suppose ra->size == ra->async_size == 128, ra->start = 512
T1 T2
reads 128 pages at index 512
- hits async readahead mark
filemap_readahead()
ondemand_readahead()
if (index == expected ...)
ra->start = 512 + 128 = 640
ra->size = 128
ra->async_size = 128
page_cache_ra_order()
blocks in ra_alloc_folio()
reads 128 pages at index 640
- no page found
page_cache_sync_readahead()
ondemand_readahead()
if (index == expected ...)
ra->start = 640 + 128 = 768
ra->size = 128
ra->async_size = 128
page_cache_ra_order()
submits reads from 768
- still no page found at index 640
filemap_create_folio()
- goes on to index 641
page_cache_sync_readahead()
ondemand_readahead()
- founds ra is confused,
trims is to small size
finds pages were already inserted
And as a result read performance suffers.
Fix the problem by triggering async readahead case in ondemand_readahead()
only if we are calling the function because we hit the readahead marker.
In any other case we need to read the folio at 'index' and thus we cannot
really use the current ra state.
Note that the above situation could be viewed as a special case of
file->f_ra state corruption. In fact two thread reading using the shared
file can also seemingly corrupt file->f_ra in interesting ways due to
concurrent access. I never saw that in practice and the fix is going to
be much more complex so for now at least fix this practical problem while
we ponder about the theoretically correct solution.
