ALong with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series in
this pull request are: "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification. "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes - mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

mm: introduce a pageflag for partially mapped folios
Currently folio->_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped folios that are going to be split under memory pressure. In the next patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also going to be tracked using _deferred_list. This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in deferred_split_scan. Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements _mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in deferred_split_scan. Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

mm,memcg: provide per-cgroup counters for NUMA balancing operations
The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory. Different containers in the system may experience drastically different memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global counters alone. For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that its performance degrades unacceptably. For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated. In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal can easily be lost if only global counters are available. In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering. This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup: numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd, pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_* and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat. count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

mm: shmem: support large folio swap out
Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better performance, however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large folios when trying to swap out shmem, which may lead to the memory fragmentation issue and can not take advantage of the large folio for shmeme. Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio without split, hence this patch set supports the large folio swap out for shmem. Note the i915_gem_shmem driver still need to be split when swapping, thus add a new flag 'split_large_folio' for writeback_control to indicate spliting the large folio.

memcg: use ratelimited stats flush in the reclaim
The Meta prod is seeing large amount of stalls in memcg stats flush from the memcg reclaim code path. At the moment, this specific callsite is doing a synchronous memcg stats flush. The rstat flush is an expensive and time consuming operation, so concurrent relaimers will busywait on the lock potentially for a long time. Actually this issue is not unique to Meta and has been observed by Cloudflare [1] as well. For the Cloudflare case, the stalls were due to contention between kswapd threads running on their 8 numa node machines which does not make sense as rstat flush is global and flush from one kswapd thread should be sufficient for all. Simply replace the synchronous flush with the ratelimited one. One may raise a concern on potentially using 2 sec stale (at worst) stats for heuristics like desirable inactive:active ratio and preferring inactive file pages over anon pages but these specific heuristics do not require very precise stats and also are ignored under severe memory pressure. More specifically for this code path, the stats are needed for two specific heuristics: 1. Deactivate LRUs 2. Cache trim mode The deactivate LRUs heuristic is to maintain a desirable inactive:active ratio of the LRUs. The specific stats needed are WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* and the hierarchical LRU size. The WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* is needed to check if there is a refault since last snapshot and the LRU size are needed for the desirable ratio between inactive and active LRUs. See the table below on how the desirable ratio is calculated. /* total target max * memory ratio inactive * ------------------------------------- * 10MB 1 5MB * 100MB 1 50MB * 1GB 3 250MB * 10GB 10 0.9GB * 100GB 31 3GB * 1TB 101 10GB * 10TB 320 32GB */ The desirable ratio only changes at the boundary of 1 GiB, 10 GiB, 100 GiB, 1 TiB and 10 TiB. There is no need for the precise and accurate LRU size information to calculate this ratio. In addition, if deactivation is skipped for some LRU, the kernel will force deactive on the severe memory pressure situation. For the cache trim mode, inactive file LRU size is read and the kernel scales it down based on the reclaim iteration (file >> sc->priority) and only checks if it is zero or not. Again precise information is not needed. This patch has been running on Meta fleet for several months and we have not observed any issues. Please note that MGLRU is not impacted by this issue at all as it avoids rstat flushing completely.

mm: multi-gen LRU: ignore non-leaf pmd_young for force_scan=true
When non-leaf pmd accessed bits are available, MGLRU page table walks can clear the non-leaf pmd accessed bit and ignore the accessed bit on the pte if it's on a different node, skipping a generation update as well. If another scan occurs on the same node as said skipped pte. The non-leaf pmd accessed bit might remain cleared and the pte accessed bits won't be checked. While this is sufficient for reclaim-driven aging, where the goal is to select a reasonably cold page, the access can be missed when aging proactively for workingset estimation of a node/memcg. In more detail, get_pfn_folio returns NULL if the folio's nid != node under scanning, so the page table walk skips processing of said pte. Now the pmd_young flag on this pmd is cleared, and if none of the pte's are accessed before another scan occurs on the folio's node, the pmd_young check fails and the pte accessed bit is skipped. Since force_scan disables various other optimizations, we check force_scan to ignore the non-leaf pmd accessed bit.

mm: shrink skip folio mapped by an exiting process
The releasing process of the non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by an exiting process may go through two flows: 1) the anonymous folio is firstly is swaped-out into swapspace and transformed into a swp_entry in shrink_folio_list; 2) then the swp_entry is released in the process exiting flow. This will result in the high cpu load of releasing a non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by an exiting process. When the low system memory and the exiting process exist at the same time, it will be likely to happen, because the non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by an exiting process may be reclaimed by shrink_folio_list. This patch is that shrink skips the non-shared anonymous folio solely mapped by an exting process and this folio is only released directly in the process exiting flow, which will save swap-out time and alleviate the load of the process exiting. Barry provided some effectiveness testing in [1]. "I observed that this patch effectively skipped 6114 folios (either 4KB or 64KB mTHP), potentially reducing the swap-out by up to 92MB (97,300,480 bytes) during the process exit. The working set size is 256MB."

mm: add node_reclaim successes to VM event counters
/proc/vmstat currently shows the number of node_reclaim() failures when vm.zone_reclaim_mode is set appropriately. It would be convenient to have the number of successes right next to zone_reclaim_failed (similar to compaction and migration). While just a trivially addition to the vmstat file. It was helpful during benchmarking to not have to probe node_reclaim() to observe the success/failure ratio.

mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a new system call that has certain requirements: - It shouldn't be written to core dumps. * Easy: VM_DONTDUMP. - It should be zeroed on fork. * Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK. - It shouldn't be written to swap. * Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited. * Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks. - It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when page faulting in memory if none is available * Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults. It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem: 1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through the function's execution. 2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for, we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and everything is fine. 3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of 60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation. These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which has the following semantics: a) It never is written out to swap. b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're zero when read back again). c) It is inherited by fork. d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked. e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal, and no signal is sent. This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use: VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment, using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or writing out to swap. In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as MAP_DROPPABLE. Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a vma reference available. Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired. Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> |

mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation
mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() is not stateless and should only be used
as part of a top-down tree traversal. shrink_one() traverses the per-node
memcg LRU instead of the root_mem_cgroup tree, and therefore it should not
call mem_cgroup_calculate_protection().
The existing misuse in shrink_one() can cause ineffective protection of
sub-trees that are grandchildren of root_mem_cgroup. Fix it by reusing
lru_gen_age_node(), which already traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree, to
calculate the protection.
Previously lru_gen_age_node() opportunistically skips the first pass,
i.e., when scan_control->priority is DEF_PRIORITY. On the second pass,
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority, set by
set_initial_priority() from lru_gen_shrink_node(), to decide whether a
memcg is too small to reclaim from.
Now lru_gen_age_node() unconditionally traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree.
So it should call set_initial_priority() upfront, to make sure
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority on the first
pass. Otherwise, lruvec_is_reclaimable() can return false negatives and
result in premature OOM kills when min_ttl_ms is used.

mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory
set_initial_priority() tries to jump-start global reclaim by estimating
the priority based on cold/hot LRU pages. The estimation does not account
for shrinker objects, and it cannot do so because their sizes can be in
different units other than page.
If shrinker objects are the majority, e.g., on TrueNAS SCALE 24.04.0 where
ZFS ARC can use almost all system memory, set_initial_priority() can
vastly underestimate how much memory ARC shrinker can evict and assign
extreme low values to scan_control->priority, resulting in overshoots of
shrinker objects.
To reproduce the problem, using TrueNAS SCALE 24.04.0 with 32GB DRAM, a
test ZFS pool and the following commands:
fio --name=mglru.file --numjobs=36 --ioengine=io_uring \
--directory=/root/test-zfs-pool/ --size=1024m --buffered=1 \
--rw=randread --random_distribution=random \
--time_based --runtime=1h &
for ((i = 0; i < 20; i++))
do
sleep 120
fio --name=mglru.anon --numjobs=16 --ioengine=mmap \
--filename=/dev/zero --size=1024m --fadvise_hint=0 \
--rw=randrw --random_distribution=random \
--time_based --runtime=1m
done
To fix the problem:
1. Cap scan_control->priority at or above DEF_PRIORITY/2, to prevent
the jump-start from being overly aggressive.
2. Account for the progress from mm_account_reclaimed_pages(), to
prevent kswapd_shrink_node() from raising the priority
unnecessarily.

mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level()
evict_folios() uses a second pass to reclaim folios that have gone through
page writeback and become clean before it finishes the first pass, since
folio_rotate_reclaimable() cannot handle those folios due to the
isolation.
The second pass tries to avoid potential double counting by deducting
scan_control->nr_scanned. However, this can result in underflow of
nr_scanned, under a condition where shrink_folio_list() does not increment
nr_scanned, i.e., when folio_trylock() fails.
The underflow can cause the divisor, i.e., scale=scanned+reclaimed in
vmpressure_calc_level(), to become zero, resulting in the following crash:
[exception RIP: vmpressure_work_fn+101]
process_one_work at ffffffffa3313f2b
Since scan_control->nr_scanned has no established semantics, the potential
double counting has minimal risks. Therefore, fix the problem by not
deducting scan_control->nr_scanned in evict_folios().

mm: add swappiness= arg to memory.reclaim
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.

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. 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.

mm: make alloc_demote_folio externally invokable for migration
Patch series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory", v6. Introduction ============ With the advent of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, which will be called simply as CXL memory in this cover letter, some systems are becoming more heterogeneous having memory systems with different latency and bandwidth characteristics. They are usually handled as different NUMA nodes in separate memory tiers and CXL memory is used as slow tiers because of its protocol overhead compared to local DRAM. In this kind of systems, we need to be careful placing memory pages on proper NUMA nodes based on the memory access frequency. Otherwise, some frequently accessed pages might reside on slow tiers and it makes performance degradation unexpectedly. Moreover, the memory access patterns can be changed at runtime. To handle this problem, we need a way to monitor the memory access patterns and migrate pages based on their access temperature. The DAMON(Data Access MONitor) framework and its DAMOS(DAMON-based Operation Schemes) can be useful features for monitoring and migrating pages. DAMOS provides multiple actions based on DAMON monitoring results and it can be used for proactive reclaim, which means swapping cold pages out with DAMOS_PAGEOUT action, but it doesn't support migration actions such as demotion and promotion between tiered memory nodes. This series supports two new DAMOS actions; DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for promotion from slow tiers and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for demotion from fast tiers. This prevents hot pages from being stuck on slow tiers, which makes performance degradation and cold pages can be proactively demoted to slow tiers so that the system can increase the chance to allocate more hot pages to fast tiers. The DAMON provides various tuning knobs but we found that the proactive demotion for cold pages is especially useful when the system is running out of memory on its fast tier nodes. Our evaluation result shows that it reduces the performance slowdown compared to the default memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system runs under high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes. DAMON configuration =================== The specific DAMON configuration doesn't have to be in the scope of this patch series, but some rough idea is better to be shared to explain the evaluation result. The DAMON provides many knobs for fine tuning but its configuration file is generated by HMSDK[3]. It includes gen_config.py script that generates a json file with the full config of DAMON knobs and it creates multiple kdamonds for each NUMA node when the DAMON is enabled so that it can run hot/cold based migration for tiered memory. Evaluation Workload =================== The performance evaluation is done with redis[4], which is a widely used in-memory database and the memory access patterns are generated via YCSB[5]. We have measured two different workloads with zipfian and latest distributions but their configs are slightly modified to make memory usage higher and execution time longer for better evaluation. The idea of evaluation using these migrate_{hot,cold} actions covers system-wide memory management rather than partitioning hot/cold pages of a single workload. The default memory allocation policy creates pages to the fast tier DRAM node first, then allocates newly created pages to the slow tier CXL node when the DRAM node has insufficient free space. Once the page allocation is done then those pages never move between NUMA nodes. It's not true when using numa balancing, but it is not the scope of this DAMON based tiered memory management support. If the working set of redis can be fit fully into the DRAM node, then the redis will access the fast DRAM only. Since the performance of DRAM only is faster than partially accessing CXL memory in slow tiers, this environment is not useful to evaluate this patch series. To make pages of redis be distributed across fast DRAM node and slow CXL node to evaluate our migrate_{hot,cold} actions, we pre-allocate some cold memory externally using mmap and memset before launching redis-server. We assumed that there are enough amount of cold memory in datacenters as TMO[6] and TPP[7] papers mentioned. The evaluation sequence is as follows. 1. Turn on DAMON with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action for DRAM node and DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action for CXL node. It demotes cold pages on DRAM node and promotes hot pages on CXL node in a regular interval. 2. Allocate a huge block of cold memory by calling mmap and memset at the fast tier DRAM node, then make the process sleep to make the fast tier has insufficient space for redis-server. 3. Launch redis-server and load prebaked snapshot image, dump.rdb. The redis-server consumes 52GB of anon pages and 33GB of file pages, but due to the cold memory allocated at 2, it fails allocating the entire memory of redis-server on the fast tier DRAM node so it partially allocates the remaining on the slow tier CXL node. The ratio of DRAM:CXL depends on the size of the pre-allocated cold memory. 4. Run YCSB to make zipfian or latest distribution of memory accesses to redis-server, then measure its execution time when it's completed. 5. Repeat 4 over 50 times to measure the average execution time for each run. 6. Increase the cold memory size then repeat goes to 2. For each test at 4 took about a minute so repeating it 50 times almost took about 1 hour for each test with a specific cold memory from 440GB to 500GB in 10GB increments for each evaluation. So it took about more than 10 hours for both zipfian and latest workloads to get the entire evaluation results. Repeating the same test set multiple times doesn't show much difference so I think it might be enough to make the result reliable. Evaluation Results ================== All the result values are normalized to DRAM-only execution time because the workload cannot be faster than DRAM-only unless the workload hits the peak bandwidth but our redis test doesn't go beyond the bandwidth limit. So the DRAM-only execution time is the ideal result without affected by the gap between DRAM and CXL performance difference. The NUMA node environment is as follows. node0 - local DRAM, 512GB with a CPU socket (fast tier) node1 - disabled node2 - CXL DRAM, 96GB, no CPU attached (slow tier) The following is the result of generating zipfian distribution to redis-server and the numbers are averaged by 50 times of execution. 1.

DRAM-only: redis-server uses only local DRAM memory. CXL-only: redis-server uses only CXL memory. default: default memory policy(MPOL_DEFAULT). numa balancing disabled. DAMON tiered: DAMON enabled with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for DRAM nodes and DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for CXL nodes. DAMON lazy: same as DAMON tiered, but turn on DAMON just before making memory access request via YCSB. The above result shows the "default" execution time goes up as the size of cold memory is increased from 440G to 500G because the more cold memory used, the more CXL memory is used for the target redis workload and this makes the execution time increase. However, "DAMON tiered" and other DAMON results show less slowdown because the DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action at DRAM node proactively demotes pre-allocated cold memory to CXL node and this free space at DRAM increases more chance to allocate hot or warm pages of redis-server to fast DRAM node. Moreover, DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action at CXL node also promotes hot pages of redis-server to DRAM node actively. As a result, it makes more memory of redis-server stay in DRAM node compared to "default" memory policy and this makes the performance improvement. Please note that the result numbers of "DAMON tiered" and "DAMON lazy" at 500G are marked with * stars, which means their test results are replaced with reproduced tests that didn't have OOM issue. That was needed because sometimes the test processes get OOM when DRAM has insufficient space. The DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT doesn't kick reclaim but just gives up migration when there is not enough space at DRAM side. The problem happens when there is competition between normal allocation and migration and the migration is done before normal allocation, then the completely unrelated normal allocation can trigger reclaim, which incurs OOM. Because of this issue, I have also tested more cases with "demotion_enabled" flag enabled to make such reclaim doesn't trigger OOM, but just demote reclaimed pages. The following test results show more tests with "kswapd" marked. 2.

DAMON tiered: same as before DAMON lazy: same as before DAMON tiered kswapd: same as DAMON tiered, but turn on /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled to make kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion. DAMON lazy kswapd: same as DAMON lazy, but turn on /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled to make kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion. The "DAMON tiered kswapd" and "DAMON lazy kswapd" didn't trigger OOM at all unlike other tests because kswapd and direct reclaim from DRAM node can demote reclaimed pages to CXL node independently from DAMON actions and their results are slightly better than without having "demotion_enabled". In summary, the evaluation results show that DAMON memory management with DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} actions reduces the performance slowdown compared to the "default" memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system runs with high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes. Having these DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD actions can make tiered memory systems run more efficiently under high memory pressures. This patch (of 7): The alloc_demote_folio can be used out of vmscan.c so it'd be better to remove static keyword from it.

mm: vmscan: restore incremental cgroup iteration
Currently, reclaim always walks the entire cgroup tree in order to ensure
fairness between groups. While overreclaim is limited in shrink_lruvec(),
many of our systems have a sizable number of active groups, and an even
bigger number of idle cgroups with cache left behind by previous jobs; the
mere act of walking all these cgroups can impose significant latency on
direct reclaimers.
In the past, we've used a save-and-restore iterator that enabled
incremental tree walks over multiple reclaim invocations. This ensured
fairness, while keeping the work of individual reclaimers small.
However, in edge cases with a lot of reclaim concurrency, individual
reclaimers would sometimes not see enough of the cgroup tree to make
forward progress and (prematurely) declare OOM. Consequently we switched
to comprehensive walks in

The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback' are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out non-anonymous pages.

mm: vmscan: avoid split during shrink_folio_list()
Now that swap supports storing all mTHP sizes, avoid splitting large folios before swap-out. This benefits performance of the swap-out path by eliding split_folio_to_list(), which is expensive, and also sets us up for swapping in large folios in a future series. If the folio is partially mapped, we continue to split it since we want to avoid the extra IO overhead and storage of writing out pages uneccessarily. THP_SWPOUT and THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK counters should continue to count events only for PMD-mappable folios to avoid user confusion. THP_SWPOUT already has the appropriate guard. Add a guard for THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK. It may be appropriate to add per-size counters in future.

mm: hold PTL from the first PTE while reclaiming a large folio
Within try_to_unmap_one(), page_vma_mapped_walk() races with other PTE modifications preceded by pte clear. While iterating over PTEs of a large folio, it only starts acquiring PTL from the first valid (present) PTE. PTE modifications can temporarily set PTEs to pte_none. Consequently, the initial PTEs of a large folio might be skipped in try_to_unmap_one(). For example, for an anon folio, if we skip PTE0, we may have PTE0 which is still present, while PTE1 ~ PTE(nr_pages - 1) are swap entries after try_to_unmap_one(). So folio will be still mapped, the folio fails to be reclaimed and is put back to LRU in this round. This also breaks up PTEs optimization such as CONT-PTE on this large folio and may lead to accident folio_split() afterwards. And since a part of PTEs are now swap entries, accessing those parts will introduce overhead - do_swap_page. Although the kernel can withstand all of the above issues, the situation still seems quite awkward and warrants making it more ideal. The same race also occurs with small folios, but they have only one PTE, thus, it won't be possible for them to be partially unmapped. This patch holds PTL from PTE0, allowing us to avoid reading PTE values that are in the process of being transformed. With stable PTE values, we can ensure that this large folio is either completely reclaimed or that all PTEs remain untouched in this round. A corner case is that if we hold PTL from PTE0 and most initial PTEs have been really unmapped before that, we may increase the duration of holding PTL. Thus we only apply this optimization to folios which are still entirely mapped (not in deferred_split list).

Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2. As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when handling hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb, it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't get what is asssumed available. This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

mm, vmscan: retry kswapd's priority loop with cache_trim_mode off on failure
With cache_trim_mode on, reclaim logic doesn't bother reclaiming anon
pages. However, it should be more careful to use the mode because it's
going to prevent anon pages from being reclaimed even if there are a huge
number of anon pages that are cold and should be reclaimed. Even worse,
that leads kswapd_failures to reach MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES and stopping
kswapd from functioning until direct reclaim eventually works to resume
kswapd.
So kswapd needs to retry its scan priority loop with cache_trim_mode off
again if the mode doesn't work for reclaim.
The problematic behavior can be reproduced by:
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING enabled
sysctl_numa_balancing_mode set to NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
numa node0 (8GB local memory, 16 CPUs)
numa node1 (8GB slow tier memory, no CPUs)
Sequence:
1) echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
2) To emulate the system with full of cold memory in local DRAM, run
the following dummy program and never touch the region:
mmap(0, 8 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_POPULATE, -1, 0);
3) Run any memory intensive work e.g. XSBench.
4) Check if numa balancing is working e.i. promotion/demotion.
5) Iterate 1) ~ 4) until numa balancing stops.
With this, you could see that promotion/demotion are not working because
kswapd has stopped due to ->kswapd_failures >= MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.

mm: madvise: pageout: ignore references rather than clearing young
While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan. Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise, folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed. But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring the new access during the quite small time gap is even better. For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages(). A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of MADV_PAGEOUT, #define PGSIZE 4096 main() { int i; #define SIZE 512*1024*1024 volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long)) p[i] = 0x11; madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT); } w/o patch w/ patch root@10:~# time ./a.out root@10:~# time ./a.out real 0m49.634s real 0m46.334s user 0m0.637s user 0m0.648s sys 0m47.434s sys 0m44.265s Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240226005739.24350-1-21cnbao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm, vmscan: prevent infinite loop for costly GFP_NOIO | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations
Sven reports an infinite loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() for costly order
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations that are also GFP_NOIO. Such combination
can happen in a suspend/resume context where a GFP_KERNEL allocation can
have __GFP_IO masked out via gfp_allowed_mask.
Quoting Sven:
1. try to do a "costly" allocation (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER)
with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL set.
2. page alloc's __alloc_pages_slowpath tries to get a page from the
freelist. This fails because there is nothing free of that costly
order.
3. page alloc tries to reclaim by calling __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim,
which bails out because a zone is ready to be compacted; it pretends
to have made a single page of progress.
4. page alloc tries to compact, but this always bails out early because
__GFP_IO is not set (it's not passed by the snd allocator, and even
if it were, we are suspending so the __GFP_IO flag would be cleared
anyway).
5. page alloc believes reclaim progress was made (because of the
pretense in item 3) and so it checks whether it should retry
compaction. The compaction retry logic thinks it should try again,
because:
a) reclaim is needed because of the early bail-out in item 4
b) a zonelist is suitable for compaction
6. goto 2. indefinite stall.
(end quote)
The immediate root cause is confusing the COMPACT_SKIPPED returned from
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() (step 4) due to lack of __GFP_IO to be
indicating a lack of order-0 pages, and in step 5 evaluating that in
should_compact_retry() as a reason to retry, before incrementing and
limiting the number of retries. There are however other places that
wrongly assume that compaction can happen while we lack __GFP_IO.
To fix this, introduce gfp_compaction_allowed() to abstract the __GFP_IO
evaluation and switch the open-coded test in try_to_compact_pages() to use
it.
Also use the new helper in:
- compaction_ready(), which will make reclaim not bail out in step 3, so
there's at least one attempt to actually reclaim, even if chances are
small for a costly order
- in_reclaim_compaction() which will make should_continue_reclaim()
return false and we don't over-reclaim unnecessarily
- in __alloc_pages_slowpath() to set a local variable can_compact,
which is then used to avoid retrying reclaim/compaction for costly
allocations (step 5) if we can't compact and also to skip the early
compaction attempt that we do in some cases

mm/mglru: improve swappiness handling
The reclaimable number of anon pages used to set initial reclaim priority is only based on get_swappiness(). Use can_reclaim_anon_pages() to include NUMA node demotion. Also move the swappiness handling of when !__GFP_IO in try_to_shrink_lruvec() into isolate_folios().
