When kswapd is awake reclaiming, the per-cpu stat thresholds are lowered
to get more accurate counts to avoid breaching watermarks. This
threshold update iterates over all possible CPUs which is unnecessary.
Only online CPUs need to be updated. If a new CPU is onlined,
refresh_zone_stat_thresholds() will set the thresholds correctly.

zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim
and it's also updated during page free. Move the counter into vmstat to
take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.
On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example
o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
allocation policy.
o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area
o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
line on a stat update
This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.
On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which
noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0.
While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the
introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ.
The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.
This series is what's left. It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general. tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.
On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead

When limiting memory by mem= and ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80,

In this case, when hot-removing memory, kernel panic occurs, showing
following call trace:

The problem occurs as follows:
When calling e820_reserve_resources(), firmware_map_entrys of all e820
memory map are allocated. And all firmware_map_entrys is added
map_entries list as follows:
map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ...
| start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM |
+--------------------+
After that, if ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80 and the memory range is
limited by mem=, the PNP0C80 is hot-added. Then firmware_map_entry of
PNP0C80 is allocated and added map_entries list as follows:
map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ... -> +--- entry B --------+
| start 0x407ffffffff| | start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000| | end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM | | type System RAM |
+--------------------+ +--------------------+
Then memmap 0 sysfs for entry B is created.
After that, firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of all
firmware_map_entrys in map_entries list. As a result, memmap 33 sysfs
for entry A and memmap 35 sysfs for entry B are created. But kobject of
entry B has been used by memmap 0 sysfs. So when creating memmap 35
sysfs, the kobject is broken.
If hot-removing memory, memmap 0 sysfs is destroyed and kobject of
memmap 0 sysfs is freed. But the kobject can be accessed via memmap 35
sysfs. So when open memmap 35 sysfs, kernel panic occurs.
This patch checks whether there is firmware_map_entry of same memory
range in map_entries list and don't allocate firmware_map_entry of same
memroy range.

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).
It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().
The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.
This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Three different interfaces alter the maximum number of hugepages for an

- /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages of the default
hstate,
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages for global number of
hugepages for a specific hstate, and
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages/mempolicy for number of
hugepages for a specific hstate over the set of allowed nodes.
Generalize the code so that a single function handles all of these
writes instead of duplicating the code in two different functions.
This decreases the number of lines of code, but also reduces the size of
.text by about half a percent since set_max_huge_pages() can be inlined.

When a hwpoison page is locked it could change state due to parallel
modifications. The original compound page can be torn down and then
this 4k page becomes part of a differently-size compound page is is a
standalone regular page.
Check after the lock if the page is still the same compound page.
We could go back, grab the new head page and try again but it should be
quite rare, so I thought this was safest. A retry loop would be more
difficult to test and may have more side effects.
The hwpoison code by design only tries to handle cases that are
reasonably common in workloads, as visible in page-flags.
I'm not really that concerned about handling this (likely rare case),

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.
This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

shrink_zones() has a special branch to skip the all_unreclaimable()
check during hibernation, because a frozen kswapd can't mark a zone
unreclaimable.
But ever since commit 6e543d5780 ("mm: vmscan: fix
do_try_to_free_pages() livelock"), determining a zone to be
unreclaimable is done by directly looking at its scan history and no
longer relies on kswapd setting the per-zone flag.
Remove this branch and let shrink_zones() check the reclaimability of
the target zones regardless of hibernation state.

In original code, zone_movable_is_highmem() assumes ZONE_MOVABLE not
highmem if CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is not set. In online_pages,
it extracts pages from the previous zone before ZONE_MOVABLE. Which is
logically inconsistent:
If HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is turned off but HIGHMEM is on,
zone_movable_is_highmem() makes movable zone not highmem, but
online_pages() extracts pages from ZONE_HIGHMEM.
This inconsistency doesn't cause real problem currently, because all
architectures support online_pages also have HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP.
However, fixing it makes code clear, and also helps futher coding.

There is a write barrier between setting pc->mem_cgroup and
PageCgroupUsed, which was added to allow LRU operations to lookup the
memcg LRU list of a page without acquiring the page_cgroup lock.
But ever since commit 38c5d72f3e ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new
rule"), pages are ensured to be off-LRU while charging, so nobody else
is changing LRU state while pc->mem_cgroup is being written, and there
are no read barriers anymore.

Due to an old optimization to keep expensive res_counter changes at a
minimum, the root_mem_cgroup res_counter is never charged; there is no
limit at that level anyway, and any statistics can be generated on
demand by summing up the counters of all other cgroups.
However, with per-cpu charge caches, res_counter operations do not even
show up in profiles anymore, so this optimization is no longer
necessary.
Remove it to simplify the code.

When mem_cgroup_try_charge() returns -EINTR, it bypassed the charge to
the root memcg. But move precharging does not catch this and treats
this case as if no charge had happened, thus leaking a charge against
root. Because of an old optimization, the root memcg's res_counter is
not actually charged right now, but it's still an imbalance and
subsequent patches will charge the root memcg again.
Catch those bypasses to the root memcg and properly cancel them before
giving up the move.

The move precharge function does some baroque things: it tries raw
res_counter charging of the entire amount first, and then falls back to
a loop of one-by-one charges, with checks for pending signals and
cond_resched() batching.
Just use mem_cgroup_try_charge() without __GFP_WAIT for the first bulk
charge attempt. In the one-by-one loop, remove the signal check (this
is already checked in try_charge), and simply call cond_resched() after
every charge - it's not that expensive.

For the page allocator, __GFP_NORETRY implies that no OOM should be
triggered, whereas memcg has an explicit parameter to disable OOM.
The only callsites that want OOM disabled are THP charges and charge
moving. THP already uses __GFP_NORETRY and charge moving can use it as
well - one full reclaim cycle should be plenty. Switch it over, then
remove the OOM parameter.

Transparent huge page charges prefer falling back to regular pages
rather than spending a lot of time in direct reclaim.
Desired reclaim behavior is usually declared in the gfp mask, but THP
charges use GFP_KERNEL and then rely on the fact that OOM is disabled
for THP charges, and that OOM-disabled charges don't retry reclaim.
Needless to say, this is anything but obvious and quite error prone.
Convert THP charges to use GFP_TRANSHUGE instead, which implies
__GFP_NORETRY, to indicate the low-latency requirement.

The charging path currently starts out with OOM condition checks when
OOM is the rarest possible case.
Rearrange this code to run OOM/task dying checks only after trying the
percpu charge and the res_counter charge and bail out before entering
reclaim. Attempting a charge does not hurt an (oom-)killed task as much
as every charge attempt having to check OOM conditions. Also, only
check __GFP_NOFAIL when the charge would actually fail.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code
and reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part
of charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is
removed entirely after this series.
Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup
(i.e. executing in the root memcg). Before:
15.36% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string
13.31% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
11.48% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_mpage_readpage
4.23% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_page_from_freelist

After:

1.39% kswapd0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] free_pcppages_bulk

As you can see, the memcg footprint has shrunk quite a bit.

This patch (of 13):
This function was split out because mem_cgroup_try_charge() got too big.
But having essentially one sequence of operations arbitrarily split in
half is not good for reworking the code. Fold it back in.

In some architectures like x86, atomic_add() is a full memory barrier.
In that case, an additional smp_mb() is just a waste of time. This
patch replaces that smp_mb() by smp_mb__after_atomic() which will avoid
the redundant memory barrier in some architectures.
With a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, this patch reduced the execution time of
breaking 1000 transparent huge pages from 38,245us to 30,964us. A
reduction of 19% which is quite sizeable. It also reduces the %cpu time
of the __split_huge_page_refcount function in the perf profile from
2.18% to 1.15%.

In __split_huge_page_map(), the check for page_mapcount(page) is
invariant within the for loop. Because of the fact that the macro is
implemented using atomic_read(), the redundant check cannot be optimized
away by the compiler leading to unnecessary read to the page structure.
This patch moves the invariant bug check out of the loop so that it will
be done only once. On a 3.16-rc1 based kernel, the execution time of a
microbenchmark that broke up 1000 transparent huge pages using munmap()
had an execution time of 38,245us and 38,548us with and without the
patch respectively. The performance gain is about 1%.
