ede3771373 mm: throttle on IO only when there are too many dirty and writeback pages 
wait_iff_congested has been used to throttle allocator before it retried
another round of direct reclaim to allow the writeback to make some
progress and prevent reclaim from looping over dirty/writeback pages
without making any progress.

We used to do congestion_wait before commit 0e093d9976 ("writeback: do
not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if
significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone")
but that led to undesirable stalls and sleeping for the full timeout
even when the BDI wasn't congested.  Hence wait_iff_congested was used
instead.

But it seems that even wait_iff_congested doesn't work as expected.  We
might have a small file LRU list with all pages dirty/writeback and yet
the bdi is not congested so this is just a cond_resched in the end and
can end up triggering pre mature OOM.

This patch replaces the unconditional wait_iff_congested by
congestion_wait which is executed only if we _know_ that the last round
of direct reclaim didn't make any progress and dirty+writeback pages are
more than a half of the reclaimable pages on the zone which might be
usable for our target allocation.  This shouldn't reintroduce stalls
fixed by 0e093d9976 because congestion_wait is called only when we are
getting hopeless when sleeping is a better choice than OOM with many
pages under IO.

We have to preserve logic introduced by commit 373ccbe592 ("mm,
vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any
progress") into the __alloc_pages_slowpath now that wait_iff_congested
is not used anymore.  As the only remaining user of wait_iff_congested
is shrink_inactive_list we can remove the WQ specific short sleep from
wait_iff_congested because the sleep is needed to be done only once in
the allocation retry cycle.

0a0337e0d1 mm, oom: rework oom detection 
__alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim
and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry
allocation rather than declaring OOM.  shrink_zones had to rely on
zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from
a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or
writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up.

zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times
and restart if a page is freed.  This is really subtle behavior and it
might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator
looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single
page.  OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any
progress for unbounded amount of time.

This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone
which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as
OOM which is per zonelist property.  It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which
knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far
therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic.

The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called
from __alloc_pages_slowpath.  It tries to be more deterministic and
easier to follow.  It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense
only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the
current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at
least for one zone in the usable zonelist.

This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might
get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time
or even depend on the current allocation context.  Therefore there is a
backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after
each reclaim round without any progress.  This means that we should
eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the
wmark check and proceed to OOM.  The backoff is simple and linear with
1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress.  We
are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds.

Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without
__GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will
back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the
requested order.  The only difference is that if there was no progress
during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check.  This is more
logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result
of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

cab1802b5f mm, compaction: abstract compaction feedback to helpers 
Compaction can provide a wild variation of feedback to the caller.  Many
of them are implementation specific and the caller of the compaction
(especially the page allocator) shouldn't be bound to specifics of the
current implementation.

This patch abstracts the feedback into three basic types:
	- compaction_made_progress - compaction was active and made some
	  progress.
	- compaction_failed - compaction failed and further attempts to
	  invoke it would most probably fail and therefore it is not
	  worth retrying
	- compaction_withdrawn - compaction wasn't invoked for an
          implementation specific reasons. In the current implementation
          it means that the compaction was deferred, contended or the
          page scanners met too early without any progress. Retrying is
          still worthwhile.

c5d01d0d18 mm, compaction: simplify __alloc_pages_direct_compact feedback interface 
__alloc_pages_direct_compact communicates potential back off by two
variables:
	- deferred_compaction tells that the compaction returned
	  COMPACT_DEFERRED
	- contended_compaction is set when there is a contention on
	  zone->lock resp. zone->lru_lock locks

__alloc_pages_slowpath then backs of for THP allocation requests to
prevent from long stalls. This is rather messy and it would be much
cleaner to return a single compact result value and hide all the nasty
details into __alloc_pages_direct_compact.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

4f9a358c36 mm, compaction: update compaction_result ordering 
compaction_result will be used as the primary feedback channel for
compaction users.  At the same time try_to_compact_pages (and
potentially others) assume a certain ordering where a more specific
feedback takes precendence.

This gets a bit awkward when we have conflicting feedback from different
zones.  E.g one returing COMPACT_COMPLETE meaning the full zone has been
scanned without any outcome while other returns with COMPACT_PARTIAL aka
made some progress.  The caller should get COMPACT_PARTIAL because that
means that the compaction still can make some progress.  The same
applies for COMPACT_PARTIAL vs COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED.

Reorder PARTIAL to be the largest one so the larger the value is the
more progress we have done.

c8f7de0bfa mm, compaction: distinguish between full and partial COMPACT_COMPLETE 
COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met.  This
is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this
feedback and make any decisions based on that.  The current caller might
be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and
that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted.  Make sure we
distinguish the full and partial zone walks.

Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success
and be optimistic in retrying.

The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably
reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE
with the new semantic.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

1d4746d395 mm, compaction: distinguish COMPACT_DEFERRED from COMPACT_SKIPPED 
try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when
the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped
in 99% of cases due to watermark checks.  This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED
basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism.

Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their
ordering in the enum.  This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be
returned only when all eligible zones are skipped.

As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath
will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim.

ea7ab982b6 mm, compaction: change COMPACT_ constants into enum 
Compaction code is doing weird dances between COMPACT_FOO -> int ->
unsigned long

But there doesn't seem to be any reason for that.  All functions which
return/use one of those constants are not expecting any other value so it
really makes sense to define an enum for them and make it clear that no
other values are expected.

This is a pure cleanup and shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

b6459cc154 vmscan: consider classzone_idx in compaction_ready 
Motivation:
As pointed out by Linus [2][3] relying on zone_reclaimable as a way to
communicate the reclaim progress is rater dubious. I tend to agree,
not only it is really obscure, it is not hard to imagine cases where a
single page freed in the loop keeps all the reclaimers looping without
getting any progress because their gfp_mask wouldn't allow to get that
page anyway (e.g. single GFP_ATOMIC alloc and free loop). This is rather
rare so it doesn't happen in the practice but the current logic which we
have is rather obscure and hard to follow a also non-deterministic.

This is an attempt to make the OOM detection more deterministic and
easier to follow because each reclaimer basically tracks its own
progress which is implemented at the page allocator layer rather spread
out between the allocator and the reclaim.  The more on the
implementation is described in the first patch.

I have tested several different scenarios but it should be clear that
testing OOM killer is quite hard to be representative.  There is usually
a tiny gap between almost OOM and full blown OOM which is often time
sensitive.  Anyway, I have tested the following 2 scenarios and I would
appreciate if there are more to test.

Testing environment: a virtual machine with 2G of RAM and 2CPUs without
any swap to make the OOM more deterministic.

1) 2 writers (each doing dd with 4M blocks to an xfs partition with 1G
   file size, removes the files and starts over again) running in
   parallel for 10s to build up a lot of dirty pages when 100 parallel
   mem_eaters (anon private populated mmap which waits until it gets
   signal) with 80M each.

   This causes an OOM flood of course and I have compared both patched
   and unpatched kernels. The test is considered finished after there
   are no OOM conditions detected. This should tell us whether there are
   any excessive kills or some of them premature (e.g. due to dirty pages):

I have performed two runs this time each after a fresh boot.

The patched kernel run noticeably longer while invoking OOM killer same
number of times. This means that the original implementation is much
more aggressive and triggers the OOM killer sooner. free pages stats
show that neither kernels went OOM too early most of the time, though. I
guess the difference is in the backoff when retries without any progress
do sleep for a while if there is memory under writeback or dirty which
is highly likely considering the parallel IO.
Both kernels have seen races where zone wasn't marked unreclaimable
and we still hit the OOM killer. This is most likely a race where
a task managed to exit between the last allocation attempt and the oom
killer invocation.

2) 2 writers again with 10s of run and then 10 mem_eaters to consume as much
   memory as possible without triggering the OOM killer. This required a lot
   of tuning but I've considered 3 consecutive runs in three different boots
   without OOM as a success.

* base kernel
size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(16*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)

* patched kernel
size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(12*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)

That means 40M more memory was usable without triggering OOM killer. The
base kernel sometimes managed to handle the same as patched but it
wasn't consistent and failed in at least on of the 3 runs. This seems
like a minor improvement.

I was testing also GPF_REPEAT costly requests (hughetlb) with fragmented
memory and under memory pressure. The results are in patch 11 where the
logic is implemented. In short I can see huge improvement there.

I am certainly interested in other usecases as well as well as any
feedback. Especially those which require higher order requests.

This patch (of 14):

While playing with the oom detection rework [1] I have noticed that my
heavy order-9 (hugetlb) load close to OOM ended up in an endless loop
where the reclaim hasn't made any progress but did_some_progress didn't
reflect that and compaction_suitable was backing off because no zone is
above low wmark + 1 << order.

It turned out that this is in fact an old standing bug in
compaction_ready which ignores the requested_highidx and did the
watermark check for 0 classzone_idx.  This succeeds for zone DMA most
of the time as the zone is mostly unused because of lowmem protection.
As a result costly high order allocatios always report a successfull
progress even when there was none.  This wasn't a problem so far
because these allocations usually fail quite early or retry only few
times with __GFP_REPEAT but this will change after later patch in this
series so make sure to not lie about the progress and propagate
requested_highidx down to compaction_ready and use it for both the
watermak check and compaction_suitable to fix this issue.

59dc76b0d4 mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list 
The inactive file list should still be large enough to contain readahead
windows and freshly written file data, but it no longer is the only
source for detecting multiple accesses to file pages.  The workingset
refault measurement code causes recently evicted file pages that get
accessed again after a shorter interval to be promoted directly to the
active list.

With that mechanism in place, we can afford to (on a larger system)
dedicate more memory to the active file list, so we can actually cache
more of the frequently used file pages in memory, and not have them
pushed out by streaming writes, once-used streaming file reads, etc.

This can help things like database workloads, where only half the page
cache can currently be used to cache the database working set.  This
patch automatically increases that fraction on larger systems, using the
same ratio that has already been used for anonymous memory.

Access patterns like transaction journals frequently write the same
pages over and over, but in the majority of cases those pages are never
read back.  There are no caching benefits to be had for those pages, so
activating them and having them put pressure on pages that do benefit
from caching is a bad choice.

Leave page activations to read accesses and don't promote pages based on
writes alone.

It could be said that partially written pages do contain cache-worthy
data, because even if *userspace* does not access the unwritten part,
the kernel still has to read it from the filesystem for correctness.
However, a counter argument is that these pages enjoy at least *some*
protection over other inactive file pages through the writeback cache,
in the sense that dirty pages are written back with a delay and cache
reclaim leaves them alone until they have been written back to disk.
Should that turn out to be insufficient and we see increased read IO
from partial writes under memory pressure, we can always go back and
update grab_cache_page_write_begin() to take (pos, len) so that it can
tell partial writes from pages that don't need partial reads.  But for
now, keep it simple.

f0281a00fe mm: workingset: only do workingset activations on reads 
This is a follow-up to

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg101739.html

where Andres reported his database workingset being pushed out by the
minimum size enforcement of the inactive file list - currently 50% of
cache - as well as repeatedly written file pages that are never actually
read.

Two changes fell out of the discussions.  The first change observes that
pages that are only ever written don't benefit from caching beyond what
the writeback cache does for partial page writes, and so we shouldn't
promote them to the active file list where they compete with pages whose
cached data is actually accessed repeatedly.  This change comes in two
patches - one for in-cache write accesses and one for refaults triggered
by writes, neither of which should promote a cache page.

Second, with the refault detection we don't need to set 50% of the cache
aside for used-once cache anymore since we can detect frequently used
pages even when they are evicted between accesses.  We can allow the
active list to be bigger and thus protect a bigger workingset that isn't
challenged by streamers.  Depending on the access patterns, this can
increase major faults during workingset transitions for better
performance during stable phases.

This patch (of 3):

When rewriting a page, the data in that page is replaced with new data.
This means that evicting something else from the active file list, in
order to cache data that will be replaced by something else, is likely
to be a waste of memory.

It is better to save the active list for frequently read pages, because
reads actually use the data that is in the page.

This patch ignores partial writes, because it is unclear whether the
complexity of identifying those is worth any potential performance gain
obtained from better caching pages that see repeated partial writes at
large enough intervals to not get caught by the use-twice promotion code
used for the inactive file list.

As the driver is only used on ARC, we don't need to see it without

4741526b83 mm, page_alloc: restore the original nodemask if the fast path allocation failed 
The page allocator fast path uses either the requested nodemask or
cpuset_current_mems_allowed if cpusets are enabled.  If the allocation
context allows watermarks to be ignored then it can also ignore memory
policies.  However, on entering the allocator slowpath the nodemask may
still be cpuset_current_mems_allowed and the policies are enforced.
This patch resets the nodemask appropriately before entering the
slowpath.

4e6118016e mm, page_alloc: uninline the bad page part of check_new_page() 
Bad pages should be rare so the code handling them doesn't need to be
inline for performance reasons.  Put it to separate function which
returns void.  This also assumes that the initial page_expected_state()
result will match the result of the thorough check, i.e.  the page
doesn't become "good" in the meanwhile.  This matches the same
expectations already in place in free_pages_check().

e2769dbdc5 mm, page_alloc: don't duplicate code in free_pcp_prepare 
The new free_pcp_prepare() function shares a lot of code with
free_pages_prepare(), which makes this a maintenance risk when some
future patch modifies only one of them.  We should be able to achieve
the same effect (skipping free_pages_check() from !DEBUG_VM configs) by
adding a parameter to free_pages_prepare() and making it inline, so the
checks (and the order != 0 parts) are eliminated from the call from
free_pcp_prepare().

!DEBUG_VM: bloat-o-meter reports no difference, as my gcc was already
inlining free_pages_prepare() and the elimination seems to work as
expected

  add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 1035/-778 (257)

Here inlining didn't occur before, and added some code, but it's ok for
a debug option.

479f854a20 mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP 
Every page allocated checks a number of page fields for validity.  This
catches corruption bugs of pages that are already freed but it is
expensive.  This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages
only when the PCP lists are being refilled.  All compound pages are
checked.  This potentially avoids debugging checks entirely if the PCP
lists are never emptied and refilled so some corruption issues may be
missed.  Full checking requires DEBUG_VM.

With the two deferred debugging patches applied, the impact to a page
allocator microbenchmark is

4db7548ccb mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain 
Every page free checks a number of page fields for validity.  This
catches premature frees and corruptions but it is also expensive.  This
patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages at the time they
are drained from the PCP list.  This will trigger the bug but the site
that freed the corrupt page will be lost.  To get the full context, a
kernel rebuild with DEBUG_VM is necessary.

002f290627 cpuset: use static key better and convert to new API 
An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which
optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be
trivially allowed.  But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the
cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate
branching overhead with jump labels.

This patch converts it so that static key is used properly.  It's also
switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are
converted to return bool instead of int.  We also provide a new variant
__cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was
already done and they key was enabled.  This is needed for
get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively
slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags.

The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected
but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile.

This is also slightly faster because cpupid information is not set on
tail pages so we can avoid resets there.

7bfec6f47b mm, page_alloc: check multiple page fields with a single branch 
Every page allocated or freed is checked for sanity to avoid corruptions
that are difficult to detect later.  A bad page could be due to a number
of fields.  Instead of using multiple branches, this patch combines
multiple fields into a single branch.  A detailed check is only
necessary if that check fails.

Again, the benefit is marginal but avoiding excessive branches is
important.  Ideally the paths would not have to check these conditions
at all but regrettably abandoning the tests would make use-after-free
bugs much harder to detect.

48ee5f3696 mm, page_alloc: shortcut watermark checks for order-0 pages 
Watermarks have to be checked on every allocation including the number
of pages being allocated and whether reserves can be accessed.  The
reserves only matter if memory is limited and the free_pages adjustment
only applies to high-order pages.  This patch adds a shortcut for
order-0 pages that avoids numerous calculations if there is plenty of
free memory yielding the following performance difference in a page
allocator microbenchmark;

The benefit is marginal at best but one of the most important benefits,
avoiding a second search when falling back to another node is not
triggered by this particular test so the benefit for some corner cases
is understated.

Pageblocks have an associated bitmap to store migrate types and whether
the pageblock should be skipped during compaction.  The bitmap may be
associated with a memory section or a zone but the zone is looked up
unconditionally.  The compiler should optimise this away automatically

682a3385e7 mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator 
The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the
addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations
will not be restricted.  Despite this, there is always functional call
overhead which builds up.

This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator
function for the complex case.  A hindrance was the fact that
cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed
nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems.  The patch
handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset
exists.  As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some
junk in the slowpath.

The performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is;

perf indicated that next_zones_zonelist disappeared in the profile and
__next_zones_zonelist did not appear.  This is expected as the
micro-benchmark would hit the inlined fast-path every time.
