763ecb0350 mm: remove the vma linked list 
Replace any vm_next use with vma_find().

Update free_pgtables(), unmap_vmas(), and zap_page_range() to use the
maple tree.

Use the new free_pgtables() and unmap_vmas() in do_mas_align_munmap().  At
the same time, alter the loop to be more compact.

Now that free_pgtables() and unmap_vmas() take a maple tree as an
argument, rearrange do_mas_align_munmap() to use the new tree to hold the
vmas to remove.

Remove __vma_link_list() and __vma_unlink_list() as they are exclusively
used to update the linked list.

Drop linked list update from __insert_vm_struct().

Rework validation of tree as it was depending on the linked list.

018ee47f14 mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap 
Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and
clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs
(PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space).  For workloads
mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU
cost in the reclaim path.

This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap. 
When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new
function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent
PTEs.  On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

5072280442 mm/khugepaged: record SCAN_PMD_MAPPED when scan_pmd() finds hugepage 
When scanning an anon pmd to see if it's eligible for collapse, return
SCAN_PMD_MAPPED if the pmd already maps a hugepage.  Note that
SCAN_PMD_MAPPED is different from SCAN_PAGE_COMPOUND used in the
file-collapse path, since the latter might identify pte-mapped compound
pages.  This is required by MADV_COLLAPSE which necessarily needs to know
what hugepage-aligned/sized regions are already pmd-mapped.

In order to determine if a pmd already maps a hugepage, refactor
mm_find_pmd():

Return mm_find_pmd() to it's pre-commit f72e7dcdd2 ("mm: let mm_find_pmd
fix buggy race with THP fault") behavior.  ksm was the only caller that
explicitly wanted a pte-mapping pmd, so open code the pte-mapping logic
there (pmd_present() and pmd_trans_huge() checks).

Undo revert change in commit f72e7dcdd2 ("mm: let mm_find_pmd fix buggy
race with THP fault") that open-coded split_huge_pmd_address() pmd lookup
and use mm_find_pmd() instead.

 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

76aefad628 mm/mprotect: fix soft-dirty check in can_change_pte_writable() 
Patch series "mm/mprotect: Fix soft-dirty checks", v4.


This patch (of 3):

The check wanted to make sure when soft-dirty tracking is enabled we won't
grant write bit by accident, as a page fault is needed for dirty tracking.
The intention is correct but we didn't check it right because
VM_SOFTDIRTY set actually means soft-dirty tracking disabled.  Fix it.

There's another thing tricky about soft-dirty is that, we can't check the
vma flag !(vma_flags & VM_SOFTDIRTY) directly but only check it after we
checked CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY because otherwise VM_SOFTDIRTY will be
defined as zero, and !(vma_flags & VM_SOFTDIRTY) will constantly return
true.  To avoid misuse, introduce a helper for checking whether vma has
soft-dirty tracking enabled.

We can easily verify this with any exclusive anonymous page, like program
below:

b05a79d437 mm/gup: migrate device coherent pages when pinning instead of failing 
Currently any attempts to pin a device coherent page will fail.  This is
because device coherent pages need to be managed by a device driver, and
pinning them would prevent a driver from migrating them off the device.

However this is no reason to fail pinning of these pages.  These are
coherent and accessible from the CPU so can be migrated just like pinning
ZONE_MOVABLE pages.  So instead of failing all attempts to pin them first
try migrating them out of ZONE_DEVICE.

[hch@lst.de: rebased to the split device memory checks, moved migrate_device_page to migrate_device.c]

902c2d9158 memblock: Disable mirror feature if kernelcore is not specified 
If system have some mirrored memory and mirrored feature is not specified
in boot parameter, the basic mirrored feature will be enabled and this will
lead to the following situations:

- memblock memory allocation prefers mirrored region. This may have some
  unexpected influence on numa affinity.

- contiguous memory will be split into several parts if parts of them
  is mirrored memory via memblock_mark_mirror().

To fix this, variable mirrored_kernelcore will be checked in
memblock_mark_mirror(). Mark mirrored memory with flag MEMBLOCK_MIRROR iff
kernelcore=mirror is added in the kernel parameters.

86d28b0709 mm: split free page with properly free memory accounting and without race 
In isolate_single_pageblock(), free pages are checked without holding zone
lock, but they can go away in split_free_page() when zone lock is held.
Check the free page and its order again in split_free_page() when zone lock
is held. Recheck the page if the free page is gone under zone lock.

In addition, in split_free_page(), the free page was deleted from the page
list without changing free page accounting. Add the missing free page
accounting code.

Fix the type of order parameter in split_free_page().

60f272f6b0 mm/memory-failure.c: move clear_hwpoisoned_pages 
Patch series "memory-failure: fix hwpoison_filter", v2.

As well known, the memory failure mechanism handles memory corrupted
event, and try to send SIGBUS to the user process which uses this
corrupted page.

For the virtualization case, QEMU catches SIGBUS and tries to inject MCE
into the guest, and the guest handles memory failure again.  Thus the
guest gets the minimal effect from hardware memory corruption.

The further step I'm working on:

1, try to modify code to decrease poisoned pages in a single place
   (mm/memofy-failure.c: simplify num_poisoned_pages_dec in this series).

2, try to use page_handle_poison() to handle SetPageHWPoison() and
   num_poisoned_pages_inc() together.  It would be best to call
   num_poisoned_pages_inc() in a single place too.

3, introduce memory failure notifier list in memory-failure.c: notify
   the corrupted PFN to someone who registers this list.  If I can
   complete [1] and [2] part, [3] will be quite easy(just call notifier
   list after increasing poisoned page).

4, introduce memory recover VQ for memory balloon device, and registers
   memory failure notifier list.  During the guest kernel handles memory
   failure, balloon device gets notified by memory failure notifier list,
   and tells the host to recover the corrupted PFN(GPA) by the new VQ.

5, host side remaps the corrupted page(HVA), and tells the guest side
   to unpoison the PFN(GPA).  Then the guest fixes the corrupted page(GPA)
   dynamically.


This patch (of 5):

clear_hwpoisoned_pages() clears HWPoison flag and decreases the number of
poisoned pages, this actually works as part of memory failure.

Move this function from sparse.c to memory-failure.c, finally there is no
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE in sparse.c.

adb11e78c5 mm/munlock: protect the per-CPU pagevec by a local_lock_t 
The access to mlock_pvec is protected by disabling preemption via
get_cpu_var() or implicit by having preemption disabled by the caller
(in mlock_page_drain() case).  This breaks on PREEMPT_RT since
folio_lruvec_lock_irq() acquires a sleeping lock in this section.

Create struct mlock_pvec which consits of the local_lock_t and the
pagevec.  Acquire the local_lock() before accessing the per-CPU pagevec.
Replace mlock_page_drain() with a _local() version which is invoked on
the local CPU and acquires the local_lock_t and a _remote() version
which uses the pagevec from a remote CPU which offline.

09f49dca57 mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully 
We have had several reports [1][2][3] that page allocator blows up when an
allocation from a possible node is requested.  The underlying reason is
that NODE_DATA for the specific node is not allocated.

NUMA specific initialization is arch specific and it can vary a lot.  E.g.
x86 tries to initialize all nodes that have some cpu affinity (see
init_cpu_to_node) but this can be insufficient because the node might be
cpuless for example.

One way to address this problem would be to check for !node_online nodes
when trying to get a zonelist and silently fall back to another node.
That is unfortunately adding a branch into allocator hot path and it
doesn't handle any other potential NODE_DATA users.

This patch takes a different approach (following a lead of [3]) and it pre
allocates pgdat for all possible nodes in an arch indipendent code -
free_area_init.  All uninitialized nodes are treated as memoryless nodes.
node_state of the node is not changed because that would lead to other
side effects - e.g.  sysfs representation of such a node and from past
discussions [4] it is known that some tools might have problems digesting
that.

Newly allocated pgdat only gets a minimal initialization and the rest of
the work is expected to be done by the memory hotplug - hotadd_new_pgdat
(renamed to hotadd_init_pgdat).

generic_alloc_nodedata is changed to use the memblock allocator because
neither page nor slab allocators are available at the stage when all
pgdats are allocated.  Hotplug doesn't allocate pgdat anymore so we can
use the early boot allocator.  The only arch specific implementation is
ia64 and that is changed to use the early allocator as well.

27674ef6c7 mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount 
ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates
the code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to
check the reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup,
compaction, migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count
doesn't need to be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE pages.

Note that this excludes the special idle page wakeup for fsdax pages,
which still happens at refcount 1.  This is a separate issue and will
be sorted out later.  Given that only fsdax pages require the
notifiacation when the refcount hits 1 now, the PAGEMAP_OPS Kconfig
symbol can go away and be replaced with a FS_DAX check for this hook
in the put_page fastpath.

Based on an earlier patch from Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com>.

Although mmap_region() and mlock_fixup() take care that VM_LOCKED
is never left set on a VM_SPECIAL vma, there is an interval while
file->f_op->mmap() is using vm_insert_page(s), when VM_LOCKED may
still be set while VM_SPECIAL bits are added: so mlock_vma_page()
should ignore VM_LOCKED while any VM_SPECIAL bits are set.

This showed up as a "Bad page" still mlocked, when vfree()ing pages
which had been vm_inserted by remap_vmalloc_range_partial(): while
release_pages() and __page_cache_release(), and so put_page(), catch
pages still mlocked when freeing (and clear_page_mlock() caught them
when unmapping), the vfree() path is unprepared for them: fix it?
but these pages should not have been mlocked in the first place.

I assume that an mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) had been done in the past; or
maybe the user got to specify MAP_LOCKED on a vmalloc'ing driver mmap.

2fbb0c10d1 mm/munlock: mlock_page() munlock_page() batch by pagevec 
A weakness of the page->mlock_count approach is the need for lruvec lock
while holding page table lock.  That is not an overhead we would allow on
normal pages, but I think acceptable just for pages in an mlocked area.
But let's try to amortize the extra cost by gathering on per-cpu pagevec
before acquiring the lruvec lock.

I have an unverified conjecture that the mlock pagevec might work out
well for delaying the mlock processing of new file pages until they have
got off lru_cache_add()'s pagevec and on to LRU.

The initialization of page->mlock_count is subject to races and awkward:
0 or !!PageMlocked or 1?  Was it wrong even in the implementation before
this commit, which just widens the window?  I haven't gone back to think
it through.  Maybe someone can point out a better way to initialize it.

Bringing lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable()'s mlock initialization
into mm/mlock.c has helped: mlock_new_page(), using the mlock pagevec,
rather than lru_cache_add()'s pagevec.

Experimented with various orderings: the right thing seems to be for
mlock_page() and mlock_new_page() to TestSetPageMlocked before adding to
pagevec, but munlock_page() to leave TestClearPageMlocked to the later
pagevec processing.

Dropped the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail)s this time around: they have made
their point, and the thp_nr_page()s already contain a VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS()
for that.

This still leaves acquiring lruvec locks under page table lock each time
the pagevec fills (or a THP is added): which I suppose is rather silly,
since they sit on pagevec waiting to be processed long after page table
lock has been dropped; but I'm disinclined to uglify the calling sequence
until some load shows an actual problem with it (nothing wrong with
taking lruvec lock under page table lock, just "nicer" to do it less).

34b6792380 mm/munlock: mlock_pte_range() when mlocking or munlocking 
Fill in missing pieces: reimplementation of munlock_vma_pages_range(),
required to lower the mlock_counts when munlocking without munmapping;
and its complement, implementation of mlock_vma_pages_range(), required
to raise the mlock_counts on pages already there when a range is mlocked.

Combine them into just the one function mlock_vma_pages_range(), using
walk_page_range() to run mlock_pte_range().  This approach fixes the
"Very slow unlockall()" of unpopulated PROT_NONE areas, reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/70885d37-62b7-748b-29df-9e94f3291736@gmail.com/

Munlock clears VM_LOCKED at the start, under exclusive mmap_lock; but if
a racing truncate or holepunch (depending on i_mmap_rwsem) gets to the
pte first, it will not try to munlock the page: leaving release_pages()
to correct it when the last reference to the page is gone - that's okay,
a page is not evictable anyway while it is held by an extra reference.

Mlock sets VM_LOCKED at the start, under exclusive mmap_lock; but if
a racing remove_migration_pte() or try_to_unmap_one() (depending on
i_mmap_rwsem) gets to the pte first, it will try to mlock the page,
then mlock_pte_range() mlock it a second time.  This is harder to
reproduce, but a more serious race because it could leave the page
unevictable indefinitely though the area is munlocked afterwards.
Guard against it by setting the (inappropriate) VM_IO flag,
and modifying mlock_vma_page() to decline such vmas.

b109b87050 mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance 
Placing munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() shifts most
of the munlocking to clear_page_mlock(), since PageMlocked is typically
still set when mapcount has fallen to 0.  That is not what we want: we
want /proc/vmstat's unevictable_pgs_cleared to remain as a useful check
on the integrity of of the mlock/munlock protocol - small numbers are
not surprising, but big numbers mean the protocol is not working.

That could be easily fixed by placing munlock_vma_page() at the start of
page_remove_rmap(); but later in the series we shall want to batch the
munlocking, and that too would tend to leave PageMlocked still set at
the point when it is checked.

So delete clear_page_mlock() now: leave it instead to release_pages()
(and __page_cache_release()) to do this backstop clearing of Mlocked,
when page refcount has fallen to 0.  If a pinned page occasionally gets
counted as Mlocked and Unevictable until it is unpinned, that's okay.

A slightly regrettable side-effect of this change is that, since
release_pages() and __page_cache_release() may be called at interrupt
time, those places which update NR_MLOCK with interrupts enabled
had better use mod_zone_page_state() than __mod_zone_page_state()
(but holding the lruvec lock always has interrupts disabled).

This change, forcing Mlocked off when refcount 0 instead of earlier
when mapcount 0, is not fundamental: it can be reversed if performance
or something else is found to suffer; but this is the easiest way to
separate the stats - let's not complicate that without good reason.

cea86fe246 mm/munlock: rmap call mlock_vma_page() munlock_vma_page() 
Add vma argument to mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page(), make them
inline functions which check (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED) before calling
mlock_page() and munlock_page() in mm/mlock.c.

Add bool compound to mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page(): this is
because we have understandable difficulty in accounting pte maps of THPs,
and if passed a PageHead page, mlock_page() and munlock_page() cannot
tell whether it's a pmd map to be counted or a pte map to be ignored.

Add vma arg to page_add_file_rmap() and page_remove_rmap(), like the
others, and use that to call mlock_vma_page() at the end of the page
adds, and munlock_vma_page() at the end of page_remove_rmap() (end or
beginning? unimportant, but end was easier for assertions in testing).

No page lock is required (although almost all adds happen to hold it):
delete the "Serialize with page migration" BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page))s.
Certainly page lock did serialize with page migration, but I'm having
difficulty explaining why that was ever important.

Mlock accounting on THPs has been hard to define, differed between anon
and file, involved PageDoubleMap in some places and not others, required
clear_page_mlock() at some points.  Keep it simple now: just count the
pmds and ignore the ptes, there is no reason for ptes to undo pmd mlocks.

page_add_new_anon_rmap() callers unchanged: they have long been calling
lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable(), which does its own VM_LOCKED
handling (it also checks for not VM_SPECIAL: I think that's overcautious,
and inconsistent with other checks, that mmap_region() already prevents
VM_LOCKED on VM_SPECIAL; but haven't quite convinced myself to change it).

a213e5cf71 mm/munlock: delete munlock_vma_pages_all(), allow oomreap 
munlock_vma_pages_range() will still be required, when munlocking but
not munmapping a set of pages; but when unmapping a pte, the mlock count
will be maintained in much the same way as it will be maintained when
mapping in the pte.  Which removes the need for munlock_vma_pages_all()
on mlocked vmas when munmapping or exiting: eliminating the catastrophic
contention on i_mmap_rwsem, and the need for page lock on the pages.

There is still a need to update locked_vm accounting according to the
munmapped vmas when munmapping: do that in detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped().
exit_mmap() does not need locked_vm updates, so delete unlock_range().

And wasn't I the one who forbade the OOM reaper to attack mlocked vmas,
because of the uncertainty in blocking on all those page locks?
No fear of that now, so permit the OOM reaper on mlocked vmas.

ebcbc6ea7d mm/munlock: delete page_mlock() and all its works 
We have recommended some applications to mlock their userspace, but that
turns out to be counter-productive: when many processes mlock the same
file, contention on rmap's i_mmap_rwsem can become intolerable at exit: it
is needed for write, to remove any vma mapping that file from rmap's tree;
but hogged for read by those with mlocks calling page_mlock() (formerly
known as try_to_munlock()) on *each* page mapped from the file (the
purpose being to find out whether another process has the page mlocked,
so therefore it should not be unmlocked yet).

Several optimizations have been made in the past: one is to skip
page_mlock() when mapcount tells that nothing else has this page
mapped; but that doesn't help at all when others do have it mapped.
This time around, I initially intended to add a preliminary search
of the rmap tree for overlapping VM_LOCKED ranges; but that gets
messy with locking order, when in doubt whether a page is actually
present; and risks adding even more contention on the i_mmap_rwsem.

A solution would be much easier, if only there were space in struct page
for an mlock_count... but actually, most of the time, there is space for
it - an mlocked page spends most of its life on an unevictable LRU, but
since 3.18 removed the scan_unevictable_pages sysctl, that "LRU" has
been redundant.  Let's try to reuse its page->lru.

But leave that until a later patch: in this patch, clear the ground by
removing page_mlock(), and all the infrastructure that has gathered
around it - which mostly hinders understanding, and will make reviewing
new additions harder.  Don't mind those old comments about THPs, they
date from before 4.5's refcounting rework: splitting is not a risk here.

Just keep a minimal version of munlock_vma_page(), as reminder of what it
should attend to (in particular, the odd way PGSTRANDED is counted out of
PGMUNLOCKED), and likewise a stub for munlock_vma_pages_range().  Move
unchanged __mlock_posix_error_return() out of the way, down to above its
caller: this series then makes no further change after mlock_fixup().

After this and each following commit, the kernel builds, boots and runs;
but with deficiencies which may show up in testing of mlock and munlock.
The system calls succeed or fail as before, and mlock remains effective
in preventing page reclaim; but meminfo's Unevictable and Mlocked amounts
may be shown too low after mlock, grow, then stay too high after munlock:
with previously mlocked pages remaining unevictable for too long, until
finally unmapped and freed and counts corrected. Normal service will be
resumed in "mm/munlock: mlock_pte_range() when mlocking or munlocking".

704687deaa mm: make slab and vmalloc allocators __GFP_NOLOCKDEP aware 
sl?b and vmalloc allocators reduce the given gfp mask for their internal
needs.  For that they use GFP_RECLAIM_MASK to preserve the reclaim
behavior and constrains.

__GFP_NOLOCKDEP is not a part of that mask because it doesn't really
control the reclaim behavior strictly speaking.  On the other hand it
tells the underlying page allocator to disable reclaim recursion
detection so arguably it should be part of the mask.

Having __GFP_NOLOCKDEP in the mask will not alter the behavior in any
form so this change is safe pretty much by definition.  It also adds a
support for this flag to SL?B and vmalloc allocators which will in turn
allow its use to kvmalloc as well.  A lack of the support has been
noticed recently in

c3f4a9a2b0 mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttle 
Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying
a timeout value.  The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were
probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else.
This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on
the reason for reclaim throttling.  These figures are also pulled out of
the same thin air but better values may be derived

Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and
tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate
value.  Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as
excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout.
Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur
before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

8cd7c588de mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested 
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.

This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested.  It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].

Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea.  While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).

This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.

 - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
   enough pages get cleaned

 - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
   either reclaimed or put back on the LRU

 - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
   another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.

This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work.  A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem.  Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.

stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase.  It has
four types of worker.

 - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
   times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time

 - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
   size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
   to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
   accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
   linear write speed of the storage.

 - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files

 - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory

 - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory

X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4

The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.

The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages.  The results below are based on having zero
readers.

The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.

The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.

Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results.  The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU.  There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim.  The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers.  Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.

It is expected that this will be very machine dependant.  Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not.  The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger.  The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable.  For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different.  The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity.  Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.

The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different.  Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes.  The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

  Ops Percentage direct scans               90.59          77.37

For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the
patches, 77.37% were direct reclaim due to throttling

And there is less swapping.

  Ops Page reclaim immediate         996248528.00   107664764.00

The number of pages encountered at the tail of the LRU tagged for

  Ops Slabs scanned                     164284.00      153608.00

Slab scan activity is similar.

  82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0

The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all.  What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

      1 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=120000
      2 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=132000

    778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000

congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.

Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

------------

Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

    112 usec_timeout=100000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry.  For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were

   6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
  93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
  96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward.  A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

      9 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED

   6520 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=0 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED

Most did not stall at all.  A small number reached the timeout.

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS, the breakdown of stalls were all over
the map

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all.  The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.

While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all.  This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.

Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls.  There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage.  A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.

This patch (of 5):

Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:

 - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
   reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
   pages can be cleaned.

 - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
   inodes.

wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started.  If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early.  If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.
