Reclaim anonymous pages if a migration path is available now that demotion
provides a non-swap recourse for reclaiming anon pages.
Note that this check is subtly different from the can_age_anon_pages()
checks. This mechanism checks whether a specific page in a specific
context can actually be reclaimed, given current swap space and cgroup
limits.
can_age_anon_pages() is a much simpler and more preliminary check which
just says whether there is a possibility of future reclaim.

Anonymous pages are kept on their own LRU(s). These lists could
theoretically always be scanned and maintained. But, without swap, there
is currently nothing the kernel can *do* with the results of a scanned,
sorted LRU for anonymous pages.
A check for '!total_swap_pages' currently serves as a valid check as to
whether anonymous LRUs should be maintained. However, another method will
be added shortly: page demotion.
Abstract out the 'total_swap_pages' checks into a helper, give it a
logically significant name, and check for the possibility of page
demotion.

This is mostly derived from a patch from Yang Shi:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1560468577-101178-10-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/
Add code to the reclaim path (shrink_page_list()) to "demote" data to
another NUMA node instead of discarding the data. This always avoids the
cost of I/O needed to read the page back in and sometimes avoids the
writeout cost when the page is dirty.
A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail. This essentially falls back to normal reclaim behavior in the case
that demotions fail. Previous versions of this patch may have simply
failed to reclaim pages which were eligible for demotion but were unable
to be demoted in practice.
For some cases, for example, MADV_PAGEOUT, the pages are always discarded
instead of demoted to follow the kernel API definition. Because
MADV_PAGEOUT is defined as freeing specified pages regardless in which
tier they are.
Note: This just adds the start of infrastructure for migration. It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().

At the moment memcg stats are read in four contexts:
1. memcg stat user interfaces
2. dirty throttling
3. page fault
4. memory reclaim
Currently the kernel flushes the stats for first two cases. Flushing the
stats for remaining two casese may have performance impact. Always
flushing the memcg stats on the page fault code path may negatively
impacts the performance of the applications. In addition flushing in the
memory reclaim code path, though treated as slowpath, can become the
source of contention for the global lock taken for stat flushing because
when system or memcg is under memory pressure, many tasks may enter the
reclaim path.
This patch uses following mechanisms to solve these challenges:
1. Periodically flush the stats from root memcg every 2 seconds. This
will time limit the out of sync stats.
2. Asynchronously flush the stats after fixed number of stat updates.
In the worst case the stat can be out of sync by O(nr_cpus * BATCH) for
2 seconds.
3. For avoiding thundering herd to flush the stats particularly from
the memory reclaim context, introduce memcg local spinlock and let only
one flusher active at a time. This could have been done through
cgroup_rstat_lock lock but that lock is used by other subsystem and for
userspace reading memcg stats. So, it is better to keep flushers
introduced by this patch decoupled from cgroup_rstat_lock. However we
would have to use irqsafe version of rstat flush but that is fine as
this code path will be flushing for whole tree and do the work for
everyone. No one will be waiting for that worker.

While unplugging a device the TTM shrinker implementation
needs a barrier to make sure that all concurrent shrink
operations are done and no other CPU is referring to a
device specific pool any more.
Taking and releasing the shrinker semaphore on the write
side after unmapping and freeing all pages from the device
pool should make sure that no shrinker is running in
paralell.
This allows us to avoid the contented mutex in the TTM pool
implementation for every alloc/free operation.

In a debugging session the other day, Rik noticed that node_reclaim()
was missing memstall annotations. This means we'll miss pressure and
lost productivity resulting from reclaim on an overloaded local NUMA
node when vm.zone_reclaim_mode is enabled.
There haven't been any reports, but that's likely because
vm.zone_reclaim_mode hasn't been a commonly used feature recently, and
the intersection between such setups and psi users is probably nil.
But secondary memory such as CXL-connected DIMMS, persistent memory etc,
and the page demotion patches that handle them
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210401183216.443C4443@viggo.jf.intel.com/)
could soon make this a more common codepath again.

We've noticed occasional OOM killing when memory.low settings are in
effect for cgroups. This is unexpected and undesirable as memory.low is
supposed to express non-OOMing memory priorities between cgroups.
The reason for this is proportional memory.low reclaim. When cgroups
are below their memory.low threshold, reclaim passes them over in the
first round, and then retries if it couldn't find pages anywhere else.
But when cgroups are slightly above their memory.low setting, page scan
force is scaled down and diminished in proportion to the overage, to the
point where it can cause reclaim to fail as well - only in that case we
currently don't retry, and instead trigger OOM.
To fix this, hook proportional reclaim into the same retry logic we have
in place for when cgroups are skipped entirely. This way if reclaim
fails and some cgroups were scanned with diminished pressure, we'll try
another full-force cycle before giving up and OOMing.

cleaning it up. It disrupts git blame a little but on relatively obvious
lines that are unlikely to be git blame targets.
This patch (of 13):

Currently try_to_unmap() return bool value by checking page_mapcount(),
however this may return false positive since page_mapcount() doesn't check
all subpages of compound page. The total_mapcount() could be used
instead, but its cost is higher since it traverses all subpages.
Actually the most callers of try_to_unmap() don't care about the return
value at all. So just need check if page is still mapped by page_mapped()
when necessary. And page_mapped() does bail out early when it finds
mapped subpage.

Theoretically without the protect from memalloc_noreclaim_save() and
memalloc_noreclaim_restore(), reclaim_pages() can go into the block
I/O layer recursively and deadlock.
Querying 'reclaim_pages' in our kernel crash databases didn't yield
any results. So the deadlock seems unlikely to happen. A possible
explanation is that the only user of reclaim_pages(), i.e.,
MADV_PAGEOUT, is usually called before memory pressure builds up,
e.g., on Android and Chrome OS. Under such a condition, allocations in
the block I/O layer can be fulfilled without diverting to direct
reclaim and therefore the recursion is avoided.

Currently the number of deferred objects are per shrinker, but some
slabs, for example, vfs inode/dentry cache are per memcg, this would
result in poor isolation among memcgs.
The deferred objects typically are generated by __GFP_NOFS allocations,
one memcg with excessive __GFP_NOFS allocations may blow up deferred
objects, then other innocent memcgs may suffer from over shrink,
excessive reclaim latency, etc.
For example, two workloads run in memcgA and memcgB respectively,
workload in B is vfs heavy workload. Workload in A generates excessive
deferred objects, then B's vfs cache might be hit heavily (drop half of
caches) by B's limit reclaim or global reclaim.
We observed this hit in our production environment which was running vfs
heavy workload shown as the below tracing log:
<...>-409454 [016] .... 28286961.747146: mm_shrink_slab_start: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458:

nid: 1 unused scan count 3641681686040 new scan count 3641798379189 total_scan 602
last shrinker return val 123186855
The vfs cache and page cache ratio was 10:1 on this machine, and half of
caches were dropped. This also resulted in significant amount of page
caches were dropped due to inodes eviction.
Make nr_deferred per memcg for memcg aware shrinkers would solve the
unfairness and bring better isolation.
The following patch will add nr_deferred to parent memcg when memcg
offline. To preserve nr_deferred when reparenting memcgs to root, root
memcg needs shrinker_info allocated too.
When memcg is not enabled (!CONFIG_MEMCG or memcg disabled), the
shrinker's nr_deferred would be used. And non memcg aware shrinkers use
shrinker's nr_deferred all the time.

Currently registered shrinker is indicated by non-NULL
shrinker->nr_deferred. This approach is fine with nr_deferred at the
shrinker level, but the following patches will move MEMCG_AWARE
shrinkers' nr_deferred to memcg level, so their shrinker->nr_deferred
would always be NULL. This would prevent the shrinkers from
unregistering correctly.
Remove SHRINKER_REGISTERING since we could check if shrinker is
registered successfully by the new flag.

The shrinker_info is dereferenced in a couple of places via
rcu_dereference_protected with different calling conventions, for
example, using mem_cgroup_nodeinfo helper or dereferencing
memcg->nodeinfo[nid]->shrinker_info. And the later patch will add more
dereference places.
So extract the dereference into a helper to make the code more readable.
No functional change.

Since memcg_shrinker_map_size just can be changed under holding
shrinker_rwsem exclusively, the read side can be protected by holding read
lock, so it sounds superfluous to have a dedicated mutex.
Kirill Tkhai suggested use write lock since:
* We want the assignment to shrinker_maps is visible for shrink_slab_memcg().
* The rcu_dereference_protected() dereferrencing in shrink_slab_memcg(), but
in case of we use READ lock in alloc_shrinker_maps(), the dereferrencing
is not actually protected.
* READ lock makes alloc_shrinker_info() racy against memory allocation fail.
alloc_shrinker_info()->free_shrinker_info() may free memory right after
shrink_slab_memcg() dereferenced it. You may say
shrink_slab_memcg()->mem_cgroup_online() protects us from it? Yes, sure,
but this is not the thing we want to remember in the future, since this
spreads modularity.
And a test with heavy paging workload didn't show write lock makes things worse.

Patch series "Make shrinker's nr_deferred memcg aware", v10.
Recently huge amount one-off slab drop was seen on some vfs metadata
heavy workloads, it turned out there were huge amount accumulated
nr_deferred objects seen by the shrinker.
On our production machine, I saw absurd number of nr_deferred shown as
the below tracing result:
<...>-48776 [032] .... 27970562.458916: mm_shrink_slab_start:
super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458: nid: 0 objects to shrink
2531805877005 gfp_flags GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE pgs_scanned 32 lru_pgs
9300 cache items 1667 delta 11 total_scan 833
There are 2.5 trillion deferred objects on one node, assuming all of them
are dentry (192 bytes per object), so the total size of deferred on one
node is ~480TB. It is definitely ridiculous.
I managed to reproduce this problem with kernel build workload plus
negative dentry generator.
First step, run the below kernel build test script:
NR_CPUS=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e processor | wc -l`
cd /root/Buildarea/linux-stable
for i in `seq 1500`; do
cgcreate -g memory:kern_build
echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/kern_build/memory.limit_in_bytes
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
cgexec -g memory:kern_build make clean > /dev/null 2>&1
cgexec -g memory:kern_build make -j$NR_CPUS > /dev/null 2>&1
cgdelete -g memory:kern_build
done
Then run the below negative dentry generator script:
NR_CPUS=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e processor | wc -l`
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks
for i in `seq $NR_CPUS`; do
while true; do
FILE=`head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 64`
cat $FILE 2>/dev/null
done &
done
Then kswapd will shrink half of dentry cache in just one loop as the below
tracing result showed:
kswapd0-475 [028] .... 305968.252561: mm_shrink_slab_start: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x190 0000000024acf00c: nid: 0 objects to shrink 4994376020 gfp_flags GFP_KERNEL cache items 93689873 delta 45746 total_scan 46844936 priority 12
kswapd0-475 [021] .... 306013.099399: mm_shrink_slab_end: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x190 0000000024acf00c: nid: 0 unused scan count 4994376020 new scan count 4947576838 total_scan 8 last shrinker return val 46844928
There were huge number of deferred objects before the shrinker was called,
the behavior does match the code but it might be not desirable from the
user's stand of point.
The excessive amount of nr_deferred might be accumulated due to various
reasons, for example:
* GFP_NOFS allocation
* Significant times of small amount scan (< scan_batch, 1024 for vfs
metadata)
However the LRUs of slabs are per memcg (memcg-aware shrinkers) but the
deferred objects is per shrinker, this may have some bad effects:
* Poor isolation among memcgs. Some memcgs which happen to have
frequent limit reclaim may get nr_deferred accumulated to a huge number,
then other innocent memcgs may take the fall. In our case the main
workload was hit.
* Unbounded deferred objects. There is no cap for deferred objects, it
can outgrow ridiculously as the tracing result showed.
* Easy to get out of control. Although shrinkers take into account
deferred objects, but it can go out of control easily. One
misconfigured memcg could incur absurd amount of deferred objects in a
period of time.
* Sort of reclaim problems, i.e. over reclaim, long reclaim latency,
etc. There may be hundred GB slab caches for vfe metadata heavy
workload, shrink half of them may take minutes. We observed latency
spike due to the prolonged reclaim.
These issues also have been discussed in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200916185823.5347-1-shy828301@gmail.com/.
The patchset is the outcome of that discussion.
So this patchset makes nr_deferred per-memcg to tackle the problem. It
does:
* Have memcg_shrinker_deferred per memcg per node, just like what
shrinker_map does. Instead it is an atomic_long_t array, each element
represent one shrinker even though the shrinker is not memcg aware, this
simplifies the implementation. For memcg aware shrinkers, the deferred
objects are just accumulated to its own memcg. The shrinkers just see
nr_deferred from its own memcg. Non memcg aware shrinkers still use
global nr_deferred from struct shrinker.
* Once the memcg is offlined, its nr_deferred will be reparented to its
parent along with LRUs.
* The root memcg has memcg_shrinker_deferred array too. It simplifies
the handling of reparenting to root memcg.
* Cap nr_deferred to 2x of the length of lru. The idea is borrowed from
Dave Chinner's series
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20191031234618.15403-1-david@fromorbit.com/)
The downside is each memcg has to allocate extra memory to store the
nr_deferred array. On our production environment, there are typically
around 40 shrinkers, so each memcg needs ~320 bytes. 10K memcgs would
need ~3.2MB memory. It seems fine.
We have been running the patched kernel on some hosts of our fleet (test
and production) for months, it works very well. The monitor data shows
the working set is sustained as expected.
This patch (of 13):
The tracepoint's nid should show what node the shrink happens on, the
start tracepoint uses nid from shrinkctl, but the nid might be set to 0
before end tracepoint if the shrinker is not NUMA aware, so the tracing
log may show the shrink happens on one node but end up on the other node.
It seems confusing. And the following patch will remove using nid
directly in do_shrink_slab(), this patch also helps cleanup the code.

alloc_contig_range() will fail if it finds a HugeTLB page within the

migrated as any LRU or Movable page, it does not make sense to bail out
without trying. Enable the interface to recognize in-use HugeTLB pages so
we can migrate them, and have much better chances to succeed the call.

I went to go add a new RECLAIM_* mode for the zone_reclaim_mode sysctl.
Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the
documentation. I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't
match the bits in the #defines.
The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit. The bit is,
however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'. The
RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup. That, by itself is fine.
But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got
changed. That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean
one specific thing. Users surely do not expect the meaning to change
from kernel to kernel.
The end result is that if someone had a script that did:
sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1
it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages
to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question.
That's not great.
Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like
this is a bit harder to do again. Update the documentation to make it
clear that the first bit is ignored.

Similar to page_off_lru(), the new function does non-atomic clearing
of PageLRU() in addition to PageActive() and PageUnevictable(), on a
page that has no references left.
If PageActive() and PageUnevictable() are both set, refuse to clear
either and leave them to bad_page(). This is a behavior change that
is meant to help debug.

The parameter is redundant in the sense that it can be potentially
extracted from the "struct page" parameter by page_lru(). We need to
make sure that existing PageActive() or PageUnevictable() remains
until the function returns. A few places don't conform, and simple
reordering fixes them.
This patch may have left page_off_lru() seemingly odd, and we'll take
care of it in the next patch.

The "enum lru_list" parameter to add_page_to_lru_list() and
add_page_to_lru_list_tail() is redundant in the sense that it can
be extracted from the "struct page" parameter by page_lru().
A caveat is that we need to make sure PageActive() or
PageUnevictable() is correctly set or cleared before calling
these two functions. And they are indeed.

Patch series "mm: lru related cleanups", v2.
The cleanups are intended to reduce the verbosity in lru list operations
and make them less error-prone. A typical example would be how the
patches change __activate_page():
static void __activate_page(struct page *page, struct lruvec *lruvec)
{
if (!PageActive(page) && !PageUnevictable(page)) {
- int lru = page_lru_base_type(page);
int nr_pages = thp_nr_pages(page);
- del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+ del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec);
SetPageActive(page);
- lru += LRU_ACTIVE;
- add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+ add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec);
trace_mm_lru_activate(page);
There are a few more places like __activate_page() and they are
unnecessarily repetitive in terms of figuring out which list a page should
be added onto or deleted from. And with the duplicated code removed, they
are easier to read, IMO.
Patch 1 to 5 basically cover the above. Patch 6 and 7 make code more
robust by improving bug reporting. Patch 8, 9 and 10 take care of some
dangling helpers left in header files.
This patch (of 10):
There is add_page_to_lru_list(), and move_pages_to_lru() should reuse it,
not duplicate it.

The function just returns 2 results, so using a 'switch' to deal with its
result is unnecessary. Also simplify it to a bool func as Vlastimil
suggested.
Also remove 'goto' by reusing list_move(), and take Matthew Wilcox's
suggestion to update comments in function.

So technically there is nothing wrong with adding a pinned page to the
swap cache, but the pinning obviously means that the page can't actually
be free'd right now anyway, so it's a bit pointless.
However, the real problem is not with it being a bit pointless: the real
issue is that after we've added it to the swap cache, we'll try to unmap
the page. That will succeed, because the code in mm/rmap.c doesn't know
or care about pinned pages.
Even the unmapping isn't fatal per se, since the page will stay around
in memory due to the pinning, and we do hold the connection to it using
the swap cache. But when we then touch it next and take a page fault,
the logic in do_swap_page() will map it back into the process as a
possibly read-only page, and we'll then break the page association on
the next COW fault.
Honestly, this issue could have been fixed in any of those other places:
(a) we could refuse to unmap a pinned page (which makes conceptual
sense), or (b) we could make sure to re-map a pinned page writably in
do_swap_page(), or (c) we could just make do_wp_page() not COW the
pinned page (which was what we historically did before that "mm:
do_wp_page() simplification" commit).
But while all of them are equally valid models for breaking this chain,
not putting pinned pages into the swap cache in the first place is the
simplest one by far.
It's also the safest one: the reason why do_wp_page() was changed in the
first place was that getting the "can I re-use this page" wrong is so
fraught with errors. If you do it wrong, you end up with an incorrectly
shared page.
As a result, using "page_maybe_dma_pinned()" in either do_wp_page() or
do_swap_page() would be a serious bug since it is only a (very good)
heuristic. Re-using the page requires a hard black-and-white rule with
no room for ambiguity.
In contrast, saying "this page is very likely dma pinned, so let's not
add it to the swap cache and try to unmap it" is an obviously safe thing
to do, and if the heuristic might very rarely be a false positive, no
harm is done.

Since we changed the pgdat->lru_lock to lruvec->lru_lock, it's time to fix
the incorrect comments in code. Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment
error from ancient time. etc.
I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely
it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of
it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

Add relock_page_lruvec() to replace repeated same code, no functional
change.
When testing for relock we can avoid the need for RCU locking if we simply
compare the page pgdat and memcg pointers versus those that the lruvec is
holding. By doing this we can avoid the extra pointer walks and accesses
of the memory cgroup.
In addition we can avoid the checks entirely if lruvec is currently NULL.

This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for
each of memcg per node. So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have
to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition. They could go fast
with their self lru_lock.
After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could
serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could
replace per node lru lock.
In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and
lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control.
Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are
sth out of hands.
Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on
his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box.

Currently, compaction would get the lru_lock and then do page isolation
which works fine with pgdat->lru_lock, since any page isoltion would
compete for the lru_lock. If we want to change to memcg lru_lock, we have
to isolate the page before getting lru_lock, thus isoltion would block
page's memcg change which relay on page isoltion too. Then we could
safely use per memcg lru_lock later.
The new page isolation use previous introduced TestClearPageLRU() + pgdat
lru locking which will be changed to memcg lru lock later.
Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> fixed following bugs in this patch's early
version:
Fix lots of crashes under compaction load: isolate_migratepages_block()
must clean up appropriately when rejecting a page, setting PageLRU again
if it had been cleared; and a put_page() after get_page_unless_zero()
cannot safely be done while holding locked_lruvec - it may turn out to be
the final put_page(), which will take an lruvec lock when PageLRU.
And move __isolate_lru_page_prepare back after get_page_unless_zero to
make trylock_page() safe: trylock_page() is not safe to use at this time:
its setting PG_locked can race with the page being freed or allocated
("Bad page"), and can also erase flags being set by one of those "sole
owners" of a freshly allocated page who use non-atomic __SetPageFlag().

Currently lru_lock still guards both lru list and page's lru bit, that's
ok. but if we want to use specific lruvec lock on the page, we need to
pin down the page's lruvec/memcg during locking. Just taking lruvec lock
first may be undermined by the page's memcg charge/migration. To fix this
problem, we will clear the lru bit out of locking and use it as pin down
action to block the page isolation in memcg changing.
So now a standard steps of page isolation is following:
1, get_page(); #pin the page avoid to be free
2, TestClearPageLRU(); #block other isolation like memcg change
3, spin_lock on lru_lock; #serialize lru list access
4, delete page from lru list;
This patch start with the first part: TestClearPageLRU, which combines
PageLRU check and ClearPageLRU into a macro func TestClearPageLRU. This
function will be used as page isolation precondition to prevent other
isolations some where else. Then there are may !PageLRU page on lru list,
need to remove BUG() checking accordingly.
There 2 rules for lru bit now:
1, the lru bit still indicate if a page on lru list, just in some
temporary moment(isolating), the page may have no lru bit when
it's on lru list. but the page still must be on lru list when the
lru bit set.
2, have to remove lru bit before delete it from lru list.
As Andrew Morton mentioned this change would dirty cacheline for a page
which isn't on the LRU. But the loss would be acceptable in Rong Chen

Isolated page shouldn't be recharged by memcg since the memcg migration
isn't possible at the time. All pages were isolated from the same lruvec
(and isolation inhibits memcg migration). So remove unnecessary
regetting.

We have to move lru_lock into lru_note_cost, since it cycle up on memcg
tree, for future per lruvec lru_lock replace. It's a bit ugly and may
cost a bit more locking, but benefit from multiple memcg locking could

We don't have to add a freeable page into lru and then remove from it.
This change saves a couple of actions and makes the moving more clear.
The SetPageLRU needs to be kept before put_page_testzero for list
integrity, otherwise:
#0 move_pages_to_lru #1 release_pages
if !put_page_testzero
if (put_page_testzero())
!PageLRU //skip lru_lock

list_add(&page->lru,)

The refactoring to kswapd() in commit e716f2eb24 ("mm, vmscan: prevent
kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idx") turned an
assignment to reclaim_order into a dead store, as in all further paths,
reclaim_order will be assigned again before it is used.
make clang-analyzer on x86_64 tinyconfig caught my attention with:
mm/vmscan.c: warning: Although the value stored to 'reclaim_order' is used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read from 'reclaim_order' [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
Compilers will detect this unneeded assignment and optimize this anyway.
So, the resulting binary is identical before and after this change.
Simplify the code and remove unneeded assignment to make clang-analyzer
happy.
No functional change. No change in binary code.

Since commit 369ea8242c ("mm/rmap: update to new mmu_notifier semantic
v2"), the code to check the secondary MMU's page table access bit is
broken for !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) because the page is unmapped from the
secondary MMU's page table before the check. More specifically for those
secondary MMUs which unmap the memory in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() like kvm.
However memory reclaim is the only user of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) or the
absence of TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS and it explicitly performs the page table
access check before trying to unmap the page. So, at worst the reclaim
will miss accesses in a very short window if we remove page table access
check in unmapping code.
There is an unintented consequence of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) for the memcg
reclaim. From memcg reclaim the page_referenced() only account the
accesses from the processes which are in the same memcg of the target page
but the unmapping code is considering accesses from all the processes, so,
decreasing the effectiveness of memcg reclaim.
The simplest solution is to always assume TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS in unmapping
code.

We have observed that drop_caches can take a considerable amount of
time (<put data here>). Especially when there are many memcgs involved
because they are adding an additional overhead.
It is quite unfortunate that the operation cannot be interrupted by a
signal currently. Add a check for fatal signals into the main loop so
that userspace can control early bailout.
There are two reasons:
1. We have too many memcgs, even though one object freed in one memcg,
the sum of object is bigger than 10.
2. We spend a lot of time in traverse memcg once. So, the memcg who
traversed at the first have been freed many objects. Traverse memcg
next time, the freed count bigger than 10 again.
We can get the following info through 'ps':

check_move_unevictable_pages() is used in making unevictable shmem pages
evictable: by shmem_unlock_mapping(), drm_gem_check_release_pagevec() and
i915/gem check_release_pagevec(). Those may pass down subpages of a huge
page, when /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled is "force".
That does not crash or warn at present, but the accounting of vmstats
unevictable_pgs_scanned and unevictable_pgs_rescued is inconsistent:
scanned being incremented on each subpage, rescued only on the head (since
tails already appear evictable once the head has been updated).
5.8 commit 5d91f31faf ("mm: swap: fix vmstats for huge page") has
established that vm_events in general (and unevictable_pgs_rescued in
particular) should count every subpage: so follow that precedent here.
Do this in such a way that if mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() is made stricter
(to check page->mem_cgroup is always set), no problem: skip the tails
before calling it, and add thp_nr_pages() to vmstats on the head.

It only happens on our 1-vcpu instances, because there's no chance for

Add a cond_resched() at the upper shrink_node_memcgs() to solve this
issue, this will mean that we will get a scheduling point for each memcg
in the reclaimed hierarchy without any dependency on the reclaimable
memory in that memcg thus making it more predictable.

In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on active list. Growing active list results in rebalancing
active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive
list. Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list. Numbers denote the number of
pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive).
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
This patch tries to fix this issue. Like as file LRU, newly created or
swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list. They are
promoted to active list if enough reference happens. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected.
Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be
promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the
size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive).
To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset
detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

Patch series "workingset protection/detection on the anonymous LRU list", v7.
* PROBLEM
In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on the active list. Growing the active list results in
rebalancing active/inactive list so old pages on the active list are
demoted to the inactive list. Hence, hot page on the active list isn't
protected at all.
Following is an example of this situation.
Assume that 50 hot pages on active list and system can contain total 100
pages. Numbers denote the number of pages on active/inactive list (active
| inactive). (h) stands for hot pages and (uo) stands for used-once
pages.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)
As we can see, hot pages are swapped-out and it would cause swap-in later.
* SOLUTION
Since this is what we want to avoid, this patchset implements workingset
protection. Like as the file LRU list, newly created or swap-in anonymous
page is started on the inactive list. Also, like as the file LRU list, if
enough reference happens, the page will be promoted. This simple
modification changes the above example as following.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)
hot pages remains in the active list. :)
* EXPERIMENT
I tested this scenario on my test bed and confirmed that this problem
happens on current implementation. I also checked that it is fixed by
this patchset.
* SUBJECT
workingset detection
* PROBLEM
Later part of the patchset implements the workingset detection for the
anonymous LRU list. There is a corner case that workingset protection
could cause thrashing. If we can avoid thrashing by workingset detection,
we can get the better performance.
Following is an example of thrashing due to the workingset protection.
1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0
2. workload: 50 newly created (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh)
3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)
4. workload: 50 (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh), swap-in 50(wh)
5. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)
6. repeat 4, 5
Without workingset detection, this kind of workload cannot be promoted and
thrashing happens forever.
* SOLUTION
Therefore, this patchset implements workingset detection. All the
infrastructure for workingset detecion is already implemented, so there is
not much work to do. First, extend workingset detection code to deal with
the anonymous LRU list. Then, make swap cache handles the exceptional
value for the shadow entry. Lastly, install/retrieve the shadow value
into/from the swap cache and check the refault distance.
* EXPERIMENT
I made a test program to imitates above scenario and confirmed that
problem exists. Then, I checked that this patchset fixes it.
My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus and 6100MB memory. But,
the amount of the memory that the test program can use is about 280 MB.
This is because the system uses large ram-backed swap and large ramdisk to
capture the trace.
Test scenario is like as below.
1. allocate cold memory (512MB)
2. allocate hot-1 memory (96MB)
3. activate hot-1 memory (96MB)
4. allocate another hot-2 memory (96MB)
5. access cold memory (128MB)
6. access hot-2 memory (96MB)
7. repeat 5, 6
Since hot-1 memory (96MB) is on the active list, the inactive list can
contains roughly 190MB pages. hot-2 memory's re-access interval (96+128
MB) is more 190MB, so it cannot be promoted without workingset detection
and swap-in/out happens repeatedly. With this patchset, workingset
detection works and promotion happens. Therefore, swap-in/out occurs
less.
Here is the result. (average of 5 runs)
type swap-in swap-out
base 863240 989945
patch 681565 809273
As we can see, patched kernel do less swap-in/out.
* OVERALL TEST (ebizzy using modified random function)
ebizzy is the test program that main thread allocates lots of memory and
child threads access them randomly during the given times. Swap-in will
happen if allocated memory is larger than the system memory.
The random function that represents the zipf distribution is used to make
hot/cold memory. Hot/cold ratio is controlled by the parameter. If the
parameter is high, hot memory is accessed much larger than cold one. If
the parameter is low, the number of access on each memory would be
similar. I uses various parameters in order to show the effect of
patchset on various hot/cold ratio workload.
My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus, 1024 MB memory and 5120 MB
ram swap.
Result format is as following.
param: 1-1024-0.1
- 1 (number of thread)
- 1024 (allocated memory size, MB)
- 0.1 (zipf distribution alpha,
0.1 works like as roughly uniform random,
1.3 works like as small portion of memory is hot and the others are cold)
pswpin: smaller is better
std: standard deviation
improvement: negative is better

As we can see, all the cases show improvement. Especially, test case with
zipf distribution 1.3 show more improvements. It means that if there is a
hot/cold tendency in anon pages, this patchset works better.
This patch (of 6):
Current implementation of LRU management for anonymous page has some
problems. Most important one is that it doesn't protect the workingset,
that is, pages on the active LRU list. Although, this problem will be
fixed in the following patchset, the preparation is required and this
patch does it.
What following patch does is to implement workingset protection. After
the following patchset, newly created or swap-in pages will start their
lifetime on the inactive list. If inactive list is too small, there is
not enough chance to be referenced and the page cannot become the
workingset.
In order to provide the newly anonymous or swap-in pages enough chance to
be referenced again, this patch makes active/inactive LRU ratio as 1:1.
This is just a temporary measure. Later patch in the series introduces
workingset detection for anonymous LRU that will be used to better decide
if pages should start on the active and inactive list. Afterwards this
patch is effectively reverted.

The vmstat pgrefill is useful together with pgscan and pgsteal stats to
measure the reclaim efficiency. However vmstat's pgrefill is not updated
consistently at system level. It gets updated for both global and memcg
reclaim however pgscan and pgsteal are updated for only global reclaim.
So, update pgrefill only for global reclaim. If someone is interested in
the stats representing both system level as well as memcg level reclaim,
then consult the root memcg's memory.stat instead of /proc/vmstat.

The global variable "vm_total_pages" is a relic from older days. There is
only a single user that reads the variable - build_all_zonelists() - and
the first thing it does is update it.
Use a local variable in build_all_zonelists() instead and remove the
global variable.

When an outside process lowers one of the memory limits of a cgroup (or
uses the force_empty knob in cgroup1), direct reclaim is performed in the
context of the write(), in order to directly enforce the new limit and
have it being met by the time the write() returns.
Currently, this reclaim activity is accounted as memory pressure in the
cgroup that the writer(!) belongs to. This is unexpected. It
specifically causes problems for senpai
(https://github.com/facebookincubator/senpai), which is an agent that
routinely adjusts the memory limits and performs associated reclaim work
in tens or even hundreds of cgroups running on the host. The cgroup that
senpai is running in itself will report elevated levels of memory
pressure, even though it itself is under no memory shortage or any sort of
distress.
Move the psi annotation from the central cgroup reclaim function to
callsites in the allocation context, and thereby no longer count any
limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure. If the newly set limit causes
the workload inside the cgroup into direct reclaim, that of course will
continue to count as memory pressure.

mem_cgroup_protected currently is both used to set effective low and min
and return a mem_cgroup_protection based on the result. As a user, this
can be a little unexpected: it appears to be a simple predicate function,
if not for the big warning in the comment above about the order in which
it must be executed.
This change makes it so that we separate the state mutations from the
actual protection checks, which makes it more obvious where we need to be
careful mutating internal state, and where we are simply checking and
don't need to worry about that.

Patch series "mm, memcg: memory.{low,min} reclaim fix & cleanup", v4.
This series contains a fix for a edge case in my earlier protection
calculation patches, and a patch to make the area overall a little more
robust to hopefully help avoid this in future.
This patch (of 2):
A cgroup can have both memory protection and a memory limit to isolate it
from its siblings in both directions - for example, to prevent it from
being shrunk below 2G under high pressure from outside, but also from
growing beyond 4G under low pressure.
Commit 9783aa9917 ("mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim")
implemented proportional scan pressure so that multiple siblings in excess
of their protection settings don't get reclaimed equally but instead in
accordance to their unprotected portion.
During limit reclaim, this proportionality shouldn't apply of course:
there is no competition, all pressure is from within the cgroup and should
be applied as such. Reclaim should operate at full efficiency.
However, mem_cgroup_protected() never expected anybody to look at the
effective protection values when it indicated that the cgroup is above its
protection. As a result, a query during limit reclaim may return stale
protection values that were calculated by a previous reclaim cycle in
which the cgroup did have siblings.
When this happens, reclaim is unnecessarily hesitant and potentially slow
to meet the desired limit. In theory this could lead to premature OOM
kills, although it's not obvious this has occurred in practice.
Workaround the problem by special casing reclaim roots in
mem_cgroup_protection. These memcgs are never participating in the
reclaim protection because the reclaim is internal.
We have to ignore effective protection values for reclaim roots because
mem_cgroup_protected might be called from racing reclaim contexts with
different roots. Calculation is relying on root -> leaf tree traversal
therefore top-down reclaim protection invariants should hold. The only
exception is the reclaim root which should have effective protection set
to 0 but that would be problematic for the following setup:
Let's have global and A's reclaim in parallel:
|
A (low=2G, usage = 3G, max = 3G, children_low_usage = 1.5G)
|\
| C (low = 1G, usage = 2.5G)
B (low = 1G, usage = 0.5G)
for A reclaim we have
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
For the global reclaim
A.elow = A.low
B.elow = min(B.usage, B.low) because children_low_usage <= A.elow
C.elow = min(C.usage, C.low)
With the effective values resetting we have A reclaim
A.elow = 0
B.elow = B.low
C.elow = C.low
and global reclaim could see the above and then
B.elow = C.elow = 0 because children_low_usage > A.elow
Which means that protected memcgs would get reclaimed.
In future we would like to make mem_cgroup_protected more robust against
racing reclaim contexts but that is likely more complex solution than this
simple workaround.

In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.
To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).
Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but
only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.
The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

Patch series "fix for "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative
thrashing" patchset"
This patchset fixes some problems of the patchset, "mm: balance LRU
lists based on relative thrashing", which is now merged on the mainline.
Patch "mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix" is the
result of discussion with Johannes. See following link.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200520232525.798933-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org
And, the other two are minor things which are found when I try to rebase
my patchset.
This patch (of 3):
After ("mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix"), we
compare refault distances to active_file + anon. But age of the
non-resident information is only driven by the file LRU. As a result,
we may overestimate the recency of any incoming refaults and activate
them too eagerly, causing unnecessary LRU churn in certain situations.
Make anon aging drive nonresident age as well to address that.

When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that
list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list
starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age
information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant
latencies until the scanner has caught up.
Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list
receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the
other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum
rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while
still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of
the lists need to adjust.

The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to
reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already
counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count
writepage calls during reclaim.
For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the
anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative
balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and
reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that
don't require IO to reclaim.
For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would
have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it -
premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes.
Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing
cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that
wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page
cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger
batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from
kswapd.
For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a
stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently
accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can
still refine the measurements.
Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the
page belongs to.
Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require
IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias?
First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are
referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the
anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age
anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their
hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still
want to reclaim the coldest memory overall.
Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is
swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out
before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan
pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache
experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous
pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on
the file cache instead.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is
done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is
thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous
pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them.
This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same
level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the
cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain.
When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual
cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that
initiated the reclaim cycle.
If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure
balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration
will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:
1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.
2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.
Since commit a528910e12 ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing")
we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events,
they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is
too small for its workingset and needs to grow.
For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more
time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list.
Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we
reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off.
Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative
reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances
that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when
they're in an executable mapping. The others get deactivated. When it
comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as
rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost
to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the
deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the
other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing
memory.
Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU
balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost
signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO
cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual
rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.
There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.
Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.
The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.
This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.
Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.

When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU
lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid
div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so:
anon_prio = swappiness;
file_prio = 200 - anon_prio;
[...]
/*
* The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely
* proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on
* each list that were recently referenced and in active use.
*/
ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1);
ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1;
fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1);
fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1;
spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);
fraction[0] = ap;
fraction[1] = fp;
denominator = ap + fp + 1;
While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp
to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still
add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is
always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one
can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.

With the advent of fast random IO devices (SSDs, PMEM) and in-memory swap
devices such as zswap, it's possible for swap to be much faster than
filesystems, and for swapping to be preferable over thrashing filesystem
caches.
Allow setting swappiness - which defines the rough relative IO cost of
cache misses between page cache and swap-backed pages - to reflect such
situations by making the swap-preferred range configurable.

Fix an nr_isolate_* mismatch problem between cma and dirty lazyfree pages.
If try_to_unmap_one is used for reclaim and it detects a dirty lazyfree
page, then the lazyfree page is changed to a normal anon page having
SwapBacked by commit 802a3a92ad ("mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages"). Even
with the change, reclaim context correctly counts isolated files because
it uses is_file_lru to distinguish file. And the change to anon is not
happened if try_to_unmap_one is used for migration. So migration context
like compaction also correctly counts isolated files even though it uses
page_is_file_lru insted of is_file_lru. Recently page_is_file_cache was
renamed to page_is_file_lru by commit 9de4f22a60 ("mm: code cleanup for
MADV_FREE").
But the nr_isolate_* mismatch problem happens on cma alloc. There is
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list which is being used only by cma. It was
introduced by commit 02c6de8d75 ("mm: cma: discard clean pages during
contiguous allocation instead of migration") to reclaim clean file pages
without migration. The cma alloc uses both reclaim_clean_pages_from_list
and migrate_pages, and it uses page_is_file_lru to count isolated files.
If there are dirty lazyfree pages allocated from cma memory region, the
pages are counted as isolated file at the beginging but are counted as
isolated anon after finished.
Mem-Info:
Node 0 active_anon:3045904kB inactive_anon:611448kB active_file:14892kB inactive_file:205636kB unevictable:10416kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):37664kB mapped:630216kB dirty:384kB writeback:0kB shmem:42576kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB all_unreclaimable? no
Like log above, there were too much isolated files, 37664kB, which
triggers too_many_isolated in reclaim even when there is no actually
isolated file in system wide. It could be reproducible by running two
programs, writing on MADV_FREE page and doing cma alloc, respectively.
Although isolated anon is 0, I found that the internal value of isolated
anon was the negative value of isolated file.
Fix this by compensating the isolated count for both LRU lists. Count
non-discarded lazyfree pages in shrink_page_list, then compensate the
counted number in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).
The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.
This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.
The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.
This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.
In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.
This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.
So this patch
- renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
- removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
- If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.
Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

Since commit a9e7c39fa9 ("mm/vmscan.c: remove 7th argument of
isolate_lru_pages()"), the explanation of 'mode' argument has been
unnecessary. Let's remove it.

Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand
the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked. This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function
is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again. All these
are put in one patch as one logical change.

sc->memcg_low_skipped resets skipped_deactivate to 0 but this is not
needed as this code path is never reachable with skipped_deactivate != 0
due to previous sc->skipped_deactivate branch.

Previously 0 was assigned to variable 'lruvec_size', but the variable was
never read later. So the assignment can be removed.

pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx could be accessed concurrently in
wakeup_kswapd(). Plain writes and reads without any lock protection
result in data races. Fix them by adding a pair of READ|WRITE_ONCE() as
well as saving a branch (compilers might well optimize the original code
in an unintentional way anyway). While at it, also take care of
pgdat->kswapd_order and non-kswapd threads in allow_direct_reclaim(). The
data races were reported by KCSAN,
