ksm: let shared pages be swappable Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when faced with a PageKsm page. Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch. Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap. Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that page's node of the stable tree. The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma. (And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.) ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page. Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability. Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

Memory controller: memory accounting Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff". Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk. --- [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: change counter to atomic_t to avoid races] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [v11: Rebased, fixed mm/swapfile.c context change] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

mm/swap: add cache for swap slots allocation We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock. Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap slots returned. This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with other slots in a cluster. We do not reuse the slots that are returned right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots. The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when searching for empty slots in cache. The swap free cache is protected by a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path. We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots fall below a low watermark threshold. We re-enable the cache agian when the slots available are above a high watermark.

mm/swapfile.c: sort swap entries before free To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing swap entry. The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch. During the batch freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be reduced greatly. But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the per-CPU buffer. To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap device before freeing the swap entries. With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6% (from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with 16 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

mm: create new mm/swap.h header file Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support". Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem. This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD. The only substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced swap_set_page_dirty. Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem. It has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back. This series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and ->direct_IO. It also makes other improvements. There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various issues with NFS. Once both series land, a final patch is needed which changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw. This patch (of 10): Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/ Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.

swap_info: swap count continuations Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry). swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag) We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff: at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances, assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong. Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented, and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count: possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT. This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows, a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced: the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff".

{
mm, swap: remove unnecessary smp_rmb() in swap_type_to_swap_info() Before commit c10d38cc8d3e ("mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs"), the typical code to reference the swap_info[] is as follows, type = swp_type(swp_entry); if (type >= nr_swapfiles) /* handle invalid swp_entry */; p = swap_info[type]; /* access fields of *p. OOPS! p may be NULL! */ Because the ordering isn't guaranteed, it's possible that swap_info[type] is read before "nr_swapfiles". And that may result in NULL pointer dereference. So after commit c10d38cc8d3e, the code becomes, struct swap_info_struct *swap_type_to_swap_info(int type) { if (type >= READ_ONCE(nr_swapfiles)) return NULL; smp_rmb(); return READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]); } /* users */ type = swp_type(swp_entry); p = swap_type_to_swap_info(type); if (!p) /* handle invalid swp_entry */; /* dereference p */ Where the value of swap_info[type] (that is, "p") is checked to be non-zero before being dereferenced. So, the NULL deferencing becomes impossible even if "nr_swapfiles" is read after swap_info[type]. Therefore, the "smp_rmb()" becomes unnecessary. And, we don't even need to read "nr_swapfiles" here. Because the non-zero checking for "p" is sufficient. We just need to make sure we will not access out of the boundary of the array. With the change, nr_swapfiles will only be accessed with swap_lock held, except in swapcache_free_entries(). Where the absolute correctness of the value isn't needed, as described in the comments. We still need to guarantee swap_info[type] is read before being dereferenced. That can be satisfied via the data dependency ordering enforced by READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]). This needs to be paired with proper write barriers. So smp_store_release() is used in alloc_swap_info() to guarantee the fields of *swap_info[type] is initialized before swap_info[type] itself being written. Note that the fields of *swap_info[type] is initialized to be 0 via kvzalloc() firstly. The assignment and deferencing of swap_info[type] is like rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference().

mm, swap: remove unnecessary smp_rmb() in swap_type_to_swap_info() Before commit c10d38cc8d3e ("mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs"), the typical code to reference the swap_info[] is as follows, type = swp_type(swp_entry); if (type >= nr_swapfiles) /* handle invalid swp_entry */; p = swap_info[type]; /* access fields of *p. OOPS! p may be NULL! */ Because the ordering isn't guaranteed, it's possible that swap_info[type] is read before "nr_swapfiles". And that may result in NULL pointer dereference. So after commit c10d38cc8d3e, the code becomes, struct swap_info_struct *swap_type_to_swap_info(int type) { if (type >= READ_ONCE(nr_swapfiles)) return NULL; smp_rmb(); return READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]); } /* users */ type = swp_type(swp_entry); p = swap_type_to_swap_info(type); if (!p) /* handle invalid swp_entry */; /* dereference p */ Where the value of swap_info[type] (that is, "p") is checked to be non-zero before being dereferenced. So, the NULL deferencing becomes impossible even if "nr_swapfiles" is read after swap_info[type]. Therefore, the "smp_rmb()" becomes unnecessary. And, we don't even need to read "nr_swapfiles" here. Because the non-zero checking for "p" is sufficient. We just need to make sure we will not access out of the boundary of the array. With the change, nr_swapfiles will only be accessed with swap_lock held, except in swapcache_free_entries(). Where the absolute correctness of the value isn't needed, as described in the comments. We still need to guarantee swap_info[type] is read before being dereferenced. That can be satisfied via the data dependency ordering enforced by READ_ONCE(swap_info[type]). This needs to be paired with proper write barriers. So smp_store_release() is used in alloc_swap_info() to guarantee the fields of *swap_info[type] is initialized before swap_info[type] itself being written. Note that the fields of *swap_info[type] is initialized to be 0 via kvzalloc() firstly. The assignment and deferencing of swap_info[type] is like rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference().

mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in get_swap_page_of_type: Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent. This seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is valid and so "si" can be NULL. Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order: CPU0 CPU1 alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles) swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */ smp_wmb() smp_rmb() ++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type] Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type]. Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage. Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model (see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt). This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held (e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles and the swap_info array.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset. For a continuous block range, one swap_extent is used and all these swap_extents are managed in a linked list. These swap_extents are used by map_swap_entry() during swap's read and write path. To find out the backing device's block offset for a page offset, the swap_extent list will be traversed linearly, with curr_swap_extent being used as a cache to speed up the search. This works well as long as swap_extents are not huge or when the number of processes that access swap device are few, but when the swap device has many extents and there are a number of processes accessing the swap device concurrently, it can be a problem.

The end result is, kernel spends abou 30% time in map_swap_entry() and swap throughput is only 70MB/s. As a comparison, when I used smaller sized swapfile, like 4G whose swap_extent dropped to 2000, swap throughput is back to 400-500MB/s and map_swap_entry() is about 3%. One downside of using rbtree for swap_extent is, 'struct rbtree' takes 24 bytes while 'struct list_head' takes 16 bytes, that's 8 bytes more for each swap_extent. For a swapfile that has 80k swap_extents, that means 625KiB more memory consumed. Test: Since it's not possible to reboot that server, I can not test this patch diretly there. Instead, I tested it on another server with NVMe disk. I created a 20G swapfile on an NVMe backed XFS fs. By default, the filesystem is quite clean and the created swapfile has only 2 extents. Testing vanilla and this patch shows no obvious performance difference when swapfile is not fragmented. To see the patch's effects, I used some tweaks to manually fragment the swapfile by breaking the extent at 1M boundary.

mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset. For a continuous block range, one swap_extent is used and all these swap_extents are managed in a linked list. These swap_extents are used by map_swap_entry() during swap's read and write path. To find out the backing device's block offset for a page offset, the swap_extent list will be traversed linearly, with curr_swap_extent being used as a cache to speed up the search. This works well as long as swap_extents are not huge or when the number of processes that access swap device are few, but when the swap device has many extents and there are a number of processes accessing the swap device concurrently, it can be a problem.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking whether a swap slot can be reclaimed. To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be swapped in individually.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: reduce lock contention on swap cache from swap slots allocation In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"). The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes the lock contention on the swap cache. To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly. Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next scanning base is used. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11 _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93 After applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19 The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: reduce lock contention on swap cache from swap slots allocation In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"). The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes the lock contention on the swap cache. To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly. Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next scanning base is used. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11 _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93 After applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19 The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated.

We need really fast disk to show the benefit. I have tried this on 2 Intel P3600 NVMe disks. The performance improvement is only about 1%. The improvement should be better on the faster disks, such as Intel Optane disk.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: try to scan more free slots even when fragmented Now, the scalability of swap code will drop much when the swap device becomes fragmented, because the swap slots allocation batching stops working. To solve the problem, in this patch, we will try to scan a little more swap slots with restricted effort to batch the swap slots allocation even if the swap device is fragmented. Test shows that the benchmark score can increase up to 37.1% with the patch. Details are as follows. The swap code has a per-cpu cache of swap slots. These batch swap space allocations to improve swap subsystem scaling. In the following code path, add_to_swap() get_swap_page() refill_swap_slots_cache() get_swap_pages() scan_swap_map_slots() scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() can return multiple swap slots for each call. These slots will be cached in the per-CPU swap slots cache, so that several following swap slot requests will be fulfilled there to avoid the lock contention in the lower level swap space allocation/freeing code path. But this only works when there are free swap clusters. If a swap device becomes so fragmented that there's no free swap clusters, scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() will return only one swap slot for each call in the above code path. Effectively, this falls back to the situation before the swap slots cache was introduced, the heavy lock contention on the swap related locks kills the scalability. Why does it work in this way? Because the swap device could be large, and the free swap slot scanning could be quite time consuming, to avoid taking too much time to scanning free swap slots, the conservative method was used. In fact, this can be improved via scanning a little more free slots with strictly restricted effort. Which is implemented in this patch. In scan_swap_map_slots(), after the first free swap slot is gotten, we will try to scan a little more, but only if we haven't scanned too many slots (< LATENCY_LIMIT). That is, the added scanning latency is strictly restricted. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. Multiple ram disks are configured as the swap devices. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random, so the swap space becomes highly fragmented during the test. In the original implementation, the lock contention on swap related locks is very heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock.get_swap_pages.get_swap_page.add_to_swap: 21.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.92 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.72 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 0.69 While after applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 4.89 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 3.85 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.1 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.pagevec_lru_move_fn.__lru_cache_add.do_swap_page: 0.88 That is, the lock contention on the swap locks is eliminated. And the pmbench score increases 37.1%. The swapin throughput increases 45.7% from 2.02 GB/s to 2.94 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 45.3% from 2.04 GB/s to 2.97 GB/s.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm/swapfile.c: use __try_to_reclaim_swap() in free_swap_and_cache() The code path to reclaim the swap entry in free_swap_and_cache() is almost same as that of __try_to_reclaim_swap(). The largest difference is just coding style. So the support to the additional requirement of free_swap_and_cache() is added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). free_swap_and_cache() is changed to call __try_to_reclaim_swap(), and delete the duplicated code. This will improve code readability and reduce the potential bugs. There are 2 functionality differences between __try_to_reclaim_swap() and swap entry reclaim code of free_swap_and_cache(). - free_swap_and_cache() only reclaims the swap entry if the page is unmapped or swap is getting full. The support has been added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). - try_to_free_swap() (called by __try_to_reclaim_swap()) checks pm_suspended_storage(), while free_swap_and_cache() not. I think this is OK. Because the page and the swap entry can be reclaimed later eventually.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

swap: try to scan more free slots even when fragmented Now, the scalability of swap code will drop much when the swap device becomes fragmented, because the swap slots allocation batching stops working. To solve the problem, in this patch, we will try to scan a little more swap slots with restricted effort to batch the swap slots allocation even if the swap device is fragmented. Test shows that the benchmark score can increase up to 37.1% with the patch. Details are as follows. The swap code has a per-cpu cache of swap slots. These batch swap space allocations to improve swap subsystem scaling. In the following code path, add_to_swap() get_swap_page() refill_swap_slots_cache() get_swap_pages() scan_swap_map_slots() scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() can return multiple swap slots for each call. These slots will be cached in the per-CPU swap slots cache, so that several following swap slot requests will be fulfilled there to avoid the lock contention in the lower level swap space allocation/freeing code path. But this only works when there are free swap clusters. If a swap device becomes so fragmented that there's no free swap clusters, scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() will return only one swap slot for each call in the above code path. Effectively, this falls back to the situation before the swap slots cache was introduced, the heavy lock contention on the swap related locks kills the scalability. Why does it work in this way? Because the swap device could be large, and the free swap slot scanning could be quite time consuming, to avoid taking too much time to scanning free swap slots, the conservative method was used. In fact, this can be improved via scanning a little more free slots with strictly restricted effort. Which is implemented in this patch. In scan_swap_map_slots(), after the first free swap slot is gotten, we will try to scan a little more, but only if we haven't scanned too many slots (< LATENCY_LIMIT). That is, the added scanning latency is strictly restricted. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. Multiple ram disks are configured as the swap devices. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random, so the swap space becomes highly fragmented during the test. In the original implementation, the lock contention on swap related locks is very heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock.get_swap_pages.get_swap_page.add_to_swap: 21.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.92 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.72 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 0.69 While after applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 4.89 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 3.85 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.1 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.pagevec_lru_move_fn.__lru_cache_add.do_swap_page: 0.88 That is, the lock contention on the swap locks is eliminated. And the pmbench score increases 37.1%. The swapin throughput increases 45.7% from 2.02 GB/s to 2.94 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 45.3% from 2.04 GB/s to 2.97 GB/s.

swap: reduce lock contention on swap cache from swap slots allocation In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"). The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes the lock contention on the swap cache. To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly. Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next scanning base is used. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11 _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93 After applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19 The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated. And the pmbench score increases 18.5%. The swapin throughput increases 18.7% from 2.96 GB/s to 3.51 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 18.5% from 2.99 GB/s to 3.54 GB/s. We need really fast disk to show the benefit. I have tried this on 2 Intel P3600 NVMe disks. The performance improvement is only about 1%. The improvement should be better on the faster disks, such as Intel Optane disk.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: try to scan more free slots even when fragmented Now, the scalability of swap code will drop much when the swap device becomes fragmented, because the swap slots allocation batching stops working. To solve the problem, in this patch, we will try to scan a little more swap slots with restricted effort to batch the swap slots allocation even if the swap device is fragmented. Test shows that the benchmark score can increase up to 37.1% with the patch. Details are as follows. The swap code has a per-cpu cache of swap slots. These batch swap space allocations to improve swap subsystem scaling. In the following code path, add_to_swap() get_swap_page() refill_swap_slots_cache() get_swap_pages() scan_swap_map_slots() scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() can return multiple swap slots for each call. These slots will be cached in the per-CPU swap slots cache, so that several following swap slot requests will be fulfilled there to avoid the lock contention in the lower level swap space allocation/freeing code path. But this only works when there are free swap clusters. If a swap device becomes so fragmented that there's no free swap clusters, scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() will return only one swap slot for each call in the above code path. Effectively, this falls back to the situation before the swap slots cache was introduced, the heavy lock contention on the swap related locks kills the scalability. Why does it work in this way? Because the swap device could be large, and the free swap slot scanning could be quite time consuming, to avoid taking too much time to scanning free swap slots, the conservative method was used. In fact, this can be improved via scanning a little more free slots with strictly restricted effort. Which is implemented in this patch. In scan_swap_map_slots(), after the first free swap slot is gotten, we will try to scan a little more, but only if we haven't scanned too many slots (< LATENCY_LIMIT). That is, the added scanning latency is strictly restricted. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. Multiple ram disks are configured as the swap devices. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random, so the swap space becomes highly fragmented during the test. In the original implementation, the lock contention on swap related locks is very heavy.

And the pmbench score increases 37.1%. The swapin throughput increases 45.7% from 2.02 GB/s to 2.94 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 45.3% from 2.04 GB/s to 2.97 GB/s.

If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: try to scan more free slots even when fragmented Now, the scalability of swap code will drop much when the swap device becomes fragmented, because the swap slots allocation batching stops working. To solve the problem, in this patch, we will try to scan a little more swap slots with restricted effort to batch the swap slots allocation even if the swap device is fragmented. Test shows that the benchmark score can increase up to 37.1% with the patch. Details are as follows. The swap code has a per-cpu cache of swap slots. These batch swap space allocations to improve swap subsystem scaling. In the following code path, add_to_swap() get_swap_page() refill_swap_slots_cache() get_swap_pages() scan_swap_map_slots() scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() can return multiple swap slots for each call. These slots will be cached in the per-CPU swap slots cache, so that several following swap slot requests will be fulfilled there to avoid the lock contention in the lower level swap space allocation/freeing code path. But this only works when there are free swap clusters. If a swap device becomes so fragmented that there's no free swap clusters, scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() will return only one swap slot for each call in the above code path. Effectively, this falls back to the situation before the swap slots cache was introduced, the heavy lock contention on the swap related locks kills the scalability. Why does it work in this way? Because the swap device could be large, and the free swap slot scanning could be quite time consuming, to avoid taking too much time to scanning free swap slots, the conservative method was used. In fact, this can be improved via scanning a little more free slots with strictly restricted effort. Which is implemented in this patch. In scan_swap_map_slots(), after the first free swap slot is gotten, we will try to scan a little more, but only if we haven't scanned too many slots (< LATENCY_LIMIT). That is, the added scanning latency is strictly restricted. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. Multiple ram disks are configured as the swap devices. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random, so the swap space becomes highly fragmented during the test. In the original implementation, the lock contention on swap related locks is very heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock.get_swap_pages.get_swap_page.add_to_swap: 21.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.92 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.72 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 0.69 While after applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 4.89 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 3.85 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.1 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.pagevec_lru_move_fn.__lru_cache_add.do_swap_page: 0.88 That is, the lock contention on the swap locks is eliminated. And the pmbench score increases 37.1%. The swapin throughput increases 45.7% from 2.02 GB/s to 2.94 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 45.3% from 2.04 GB/s to 2.97 GB/s.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swapfile.c: replace some #ifdef with IS_ENABLED() In mm/swapfile.c, THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap specific code is enclosed by #ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP/#endif to avoid code dilating when THP isn't enabled. But #ifdef/#endif in .c file hurt the code readability, so Dave suggested to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_THP_SWAP) instead and let compiler to do the dirty job for us. This has potential to remove some duplicated code too. From output of `size`, text data bss dec hex filename THP=y: 26269 2076 340 28685 700d mm/swapfile.o ifdef/endif: 24115 2028 340 26483 6773 mm/swapfile.o IS_ENABLED: 24179 2028 340 26547 67b3 mm/swapfile.o IS_ENABLED() based solution works quite well, almost as good as that of #ifdef/#endif. And from the diffstat, the removed lines are more than added lines. One #ifdef for split_swap_cluster() is kept. Because it is a public function with a stub implementation for CONFIG_THP_SWAP=n in swap.h.

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking whether a swap slot can be reclaimed. To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be swapped in individually.

Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

start_over:
swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

/* requeue si to after same-priority siblings */
swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

plist_requeue(&si->avail_lists[node], &swap_avail_heads[node]);
swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs.

spin_unlock(&swap_avail_lock);
swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

spin_lock(&si->lock);
swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every page being swapped. This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff.

NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in get_swap_page_of_type: Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent. This seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is valid and so "si" can be NULL. Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order: CPU0 CPU1 alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles) swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */ smp_wmb() smp_rmb() ++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type] Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type]. Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage. Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model (see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt). This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held (e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles and the swap_info array.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap_info: swap count continuations Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry). swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag) We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff: at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances, assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong. Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented, and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count: possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT. This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows, a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced: the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure.

mm/swapfile.c: replace some #ifdef with IS_ENABLED() In mm/swapfile.c, THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap specific code is enclosed by #ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP/#endif to avoid code dilating when THP isn't enabled.

This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: support to clear swap cache flag for THP swapped out Patch series "mm, THP, swap: Delay splitting THP after swapped out", v3. This is the second step of THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap optimization. In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. In the second step, the splitting is delayed further to after the swapping out finished. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP for the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. In the patchset, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such as TLB flushing, writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP from the swap cache are batched. So that the performance of anonymous THP swapping out are improved. During the development, the following scenarios/code paths have been checked, - swap out/in - swap off - write protect page fault - madvise_free - process exit - split huge page With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about 5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing) reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. Below is the part of the cover letter for the first step patchset of THP swap optimization which applies to all steps. ========================= Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce TLB flushing and lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patch (of 12): Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the THP (Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split. In this patch, it is enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out. This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out support. Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet, after clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP swapped out will be split. So that the swap slots in the swap cluster can be swapped in as normal pages later.

mm/swapfile.c: replace some #ifdef with IS_ENABLED() In mm/swapfile.c, THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap specific code is enclosed by #ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP/#endif to avoid code dilating when THP isn't enabled. But #ifdef/#endif in .c file hurt the code readability, so Dave suggested to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_THP_SWAP) instead and let compiler to do the dirty job for us. This has potential to remove some duplicated code too. From output of `size`, text data bss dec hex filename THP=y: 26269 2076 340 28685 700d mm/swapfile.o ifdef/endif: 24115 2028 340 26483 6773 mm/swapfile.o IS_ENABLED: 24179 2028 340 26547 67b3 mm/swapfile.o IS_ENABLED() based solution works quite well, almost as good as that of #ifdef/#endif. And from the diffstat, the removed lines are more than added lines. One #ifdef for split_swap_cluster() is kept.

mm/swapfile.c: replace some #ifdef with IS_ENABLED() In mm/swapfile.c, THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap specific code is enclosed by #ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP/#endif to avoid code dilating when THP isn't enabled. But #ifdef/#endif in .c file hurt the code readability, so Dave suggested to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_THP_SWAP) instead and let compiler to do the dirty job for us. This has potential to remove some duplicated code too.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swapfile.c: sort swap entries before free To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing swap entry. The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch. During the batch freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be reduced greatly. But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the per-CPU buffer. To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap device before freeing the swap entries. With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6% (from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with 16 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

* How many references to page are currently swapped out?
swap_info: swap count continuations Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry). swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag) We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff: at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances, assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong. Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented, and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count: possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT. This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows, a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced: the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the backing RAM has to be below 4GB. Not a problem while the boards supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver. shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in. When read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion. We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32). This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() (the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is always a no-op while PageSwapCache. Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(), now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller might already have made the copy). And at one point shmem_unuse_inode() needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against racing with inode eviction. It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now: needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff.

Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed.

mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache() Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing page information later. But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock (or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap entry. So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be changed in another thread. If the page swap count is not 0, we should not delete the page from the swap cache. This is fixed via checking page swap count again after acquiring the page lock. I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race via a test program. If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache() Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing page information later. But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock (or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap entry. So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be changed in another thread. If the page swap count is not 0, we should not delete the page from the swap cache. This is fixed via checking page swap count again after acquiring the page lock. I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race via a test program. If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page. That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance regression.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm/swapfile.c: replace some #ifdef with IS_ENABLED() In mm/swapfile.c, THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap specific code is enclosed by #ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP/#endif to avoid code dilating when THP isn't enabled. But #ifdef/#endif in .c file hurt the code readability, so Dave suggested to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_THP_SWAP) instead and let compiler to do the dirty job for us. This has potential to remove some duplicated code too. From output of `size`, text data bss dec hex filename THP=y: 26269 2076 340 28685 700d mm/swapfile.o ifdef/endif: 24115 2028 340 26483 6773 mm/swapfile.o IS_ENABLED: 24179 2028 340 26547 67b3 mm/swapfile.o IS_ENABLED() based solution works quite well, almost as good as that of #ifdef/#endif. And from the diffstat, the removed lines are more than added lines. One #ifdef for split_swap_cluster() is kept. Because it is a public function with a stub implementation for CONFIG_THP_SWAP=n in swap.h.

The oom killer is not run because gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false, but should_alloc_retry will always return true when order is less than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. In his fix, he avoided retrying the allocation if reclaim made no progress and __GFP_FS was not set. The problem is that this would result in GFP_NOIO allocations failing that previously succeeded which would be very unfortunate. The big difference between GFP_NOIO and suspend converting GFP_KERNEL to behave like GFP_NOIO is that normally flushers will be cleaning pages and kswapd reclaims pages allowing GFP_NOIO to succeed after a short delay. The same does not necessarily apply during suspend as the storage device may be suspended. This patch special cases the suspend case to fail the page allocation if reclaim cannot make progress and adds some documentation on how gfp_allowed_mask is currently used. Failing allocations like this may cause suspend to abort but that is better than a livelock.

mm: try_to_free_swap replaces remove_exclusive_swap_page remove_exclusive_swap_page(): its problem is in living up to its name. It doesn't matter if someone else has a reference to the page (raised page_count); it doesn't matter if the page is mapped into userspace (raised page_mapcount - though that hints it may be worth keeping the swap): all that matters is that there be no more references to the swap (and no writeback in progress). swapoff (try_to_unuse) has been removing pages from swapcache for years, with no concern for page count or page mapcount, and we used to have a comment in lookup_swap_cache() recognizing that: if you go for a page of swapcache, you'll get the right page, but it could have been removed from swapcache by the time you get page lock. So, give up asking for exclusivity: get rid of remove_exclusive_swap_page(), and remove_exclusive_swap_page_ref() and remove_exclusive_swap_page_count() which were spawned for the recent LRU work: replace them by the simpler try_to_free_swap() which just checks page_swapcount(). Similarly, remove the page_count limitation from free_swap_and_count(), but assume that it's worth holding on to the swap if page is mapped and swap nowhere near full. Add a vm_swap_full() test in free_swap_cache()? It would be consistent, but I think we probably have enough for now.

[PATCH] Swapless page migration: add R/W migration entries Implement read/write migration ptes We take the upper two swapfiles for the two types of migration ptes and define a series of macros in swapops.h. The VM is modified to handle the migration entries. migration entries can only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked. This limits the number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes. We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will then wait on the page lock. This allows us to effectively stop all accesses to apge. Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and removed by local functions in migrate.c From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page. This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list. Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork: copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has removed it from the parent vma. (If the process were later to fault on this orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.) This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather not. There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the tail instead of the head. (There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries, because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is allowed for. And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap, because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless method has no refcounting of its entries.) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being properly write-protected on fork. The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write", and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30. Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon's range check on swap type, which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.

mm/swapfile.c: use __try_to_reclaim_swap() in free_swap_and_cache() The code path to reclaim the swap entry in free_swap_and_cache() is almost same as that of __try_to_reclaim_swap(). The largest difference is just coding style. So the support to the additional requirement of free_swap_and_cache() is added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). free_swap_and_cache() is changed to call __try_to_reclaim_swap(), and delete the duplicated code. This will improve code readability and reduce the potential bugs. There are 2 functionality differences between __try_to_reclaim_swap() and swap entry reclaim code of free_swap_and_cache(). - free_swap_and_cache() only reclaims the swap entry if the page is unmapped or swap is getting full. The support has been added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). - try_to_free_swap() (called by __try_to_reclaim_swap()) checks pm_suspended_storage(), while free_swap_and_cache() not. I think this is OK. Because the page and the swap entry can be reclaimed later eventually.

mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset. For a continuous block range, one swap_extent is used and all these swap_extents are managed in a linked list. These swap_extents are used by map_swap_entry() during swap's read and write path. To find out the backing device's block offset for a page offset, the swap_extent list will be traversed linearly, with curr_swap_extent being used as a cache to speed up the search. This works well as long as swap_extents are not huge or when the number of processes that access swap device are few, but when the swap device has many extents and there are a number of processes accessing the swap device concurrently, it can be a problem. On one of our servers, the disk's remaining size is tight: $df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ... ... /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.8T 1.3T 504G 72% /home/t4 When creating a 80G swapfile there, there are as many as 84656 swap extents. The end result is, kernel spends abou 30% time in map_swap_entry() and swap throughput is only 70MB/s. As a comparison, when I used smaller sized swapfile, like 4G whose swap_extent dropped to 2000, swap throughput is back to 400-500MB/s and map_swap_entry() is about 3%. One downside of using rbtree for swap_extent is, 'struct rbtree' takes 24 bytes while 'struct list_head' takes 16 bytes, that's 8 bytes more for each swap_extent. For a swapfile that has 80k swap_extents, that means 625KiB more memory consumed. Test: Since it's not possible to reboot that server, I can not test this patch diretly there. Instead, I tested it on another server with NVMe disk. I created a 20G swapfile on an NVMe backed XFS fs. By default, the filesystem is quite clean and the created swapfile has only 2 extents. Testing vanilla and this patch shows no obvious performance difference when swapfile is not fragmented. To see the patch's effects, I used some tweaks to manually fragment the swapfile by breaking the extent at 1M boundary. This made the swapfile have 20K extents. nr_task=4 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 165191 90.77% 171798 90.21% patched 858993 +420% 2.16% 715827 +317% 0.77% nr_task=8 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 306783 92.19% 318145 87.76% patched 954437 +211% 2.35% 1073741 +237% 1.57% swapout: the throughput of swap out, in KB/s, higher is better 1st map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf swapin: the throughput of swap in, in KB/s, higher is better. 2nd map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf nr_task=1 doesn't show any difference, this is due to the curr_swap_extent can be effectively used to cache the correct swap extent for single task workload.

mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in get_swap_page_of_type: Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent. This seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is valid and so "si" can be NULL. Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order: CPU0 CPU1 alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles) swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */ smp_wmb() smp_rmb() ++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type] Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type]. Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage. Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model (see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt). This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held (e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles and the swap_info array.

This seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is valid and so "si" can be NULL. Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order: CPU0 CPU1 alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles) swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */ smp_wmb() smp_rmb() ++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type] Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type]. Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage. Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model (see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt). This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held (e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles and the swap_info array.

Memory controller: memory accounting Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

mm/page-flags: reuse PG_mappedtodisk as PG_anon_exclusive for PageAnon() pages The basic question we would like to have a reliable and efficient answer to is: is this anonymous page exclusive to a single process or might it be shared? We need that information for ordinary/single pages, hugetlb pages, and possibly each subpage of a THP. Introduce a way to mark an anonymous page as exclusive, with the ultimate goal of teaching our COW logic to not do "wrong COWs", whereby GUP pins lose consistency with the pages mapped into the page table, resulting in reported memory corruptions. Most pageflags already have semantics for anonymous pages, however, PG_mappedtodisk should never apply to pages in the swapcache, so let's reuse that flag. As PG_has_hwpoisoned also uses that flag on the second tail page of a compound page, convert it to PG_error instead, which is marked as PF_NO_TAIL, so never used for tail pages. Use custom page flag modification functions such that we can do additional sanity checks. The semantics we'll put into some kernel doc in the future are: " PG_anon_exclusive is *usually* only expressive in combination with a page table entry. Depending on the page table entry type it might store the following information: Is what's mapped via this page table entry exclusive to the single process and can be mapped writable without further checks? If not, it might be shared and we might have to COW. For now, we only expect PTE-mapped THPs to make use of PG_anon_exclusive in subpages. For other anonymous compound folios (i.e., hugetlb), only the head page is logically mapped and holds this information. For example, an exclusive, PMD-mapped THP only has PG_anon_exclusive set on the head page. When replacing the PMD by a page table full of PTEs, PG_anon_exclusive, if set on the head page, will be set on all tail pages accordingly. Note that converting from a PTE-mapping to a PMD mapping using the same compound page is currently not possible and consequently doesn't require care. If GUP wants to take a reliable pin (FOLL_PIN) on an anonymous page, it should only pin if the relevant PG_anon_exclusive is set. In that case, the pin will be fully reliable and stay consistent with the pages mapped into the page table, as the bit cannot get cleared (e.g., by fork(), KSM) while the page is pinned. For anonymous pages that are mapped R/W, PG_anon_exclusive can be assumed to always be set because such pages cannot possibly be shared. The page table lock protecting the page table entry is the primary synchronization mechanism for PG_anon_exclusive; GUP-fast that does not take the PT lock needs special care when trying to clear the flag. Page table entry types and PG_anon_exclusive: * Present: PG_anon_exclusive applies. * Swap: the information is lost. PG_anon_exclusive was cleared. * Migration: the entry holds this information instead. PG_anon_exclusive was cleared. * Device private: PG_anon_exclusive applies. * Device exclusive: PG_anon_exclusive applies. * HW Poison: PG_anon_exclusive is stale and not changed. If the page may be pinned (FOLL_PIN), clearing PG_anon_exclusive is not allowed and the flag will stick around until the page is freed and folio->mapping is cleared. " We won't be clearing PG_anon_exclusive on destructive unmapping (i.e., zapping) of page table entries, page freeing code will handle that when also invalidate page->mapping to not indicate PageAnon() anymore. Letting information about exclusivity stick around will be an important property when adding sanity checks to unpinning code. Note that we properly clear the flag in free_pages_prepare() via PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP for each individual subpage of a compound page, so there is no need to manually clear the flag.

mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API 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.

Worse, uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so requires a lot of synchronization. Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(), commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like what's currently done for swap-in: mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming pages from the memcg if necessary. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type. mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction. This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to drastically simplify uncharging. As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU additions again.

mm/swap: remember PG_anon_exclusive via a swp pte bit Patch series "mm: COW fixes part 3: reliable GUP R/W FOLL_GET of anonymous pages", v2. This series fixes memory corruptions when a GUP R/W reference (FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_GET) was taken on an anonymous page and COW logic fails to detect exclusivity of the page to then replacing the anonymous page by a copy in the page table: The GUP reference lost synchronicity with the pages mapped into the page tables. This series focuses on x86, arm64, s390x and ppc64/book3s -- other architectures are fairly easy to support by implementing __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE. This primarily fixes the O_DIRECT memory corruptions that can happen on concurrent swapout, whereby we lose DMA reads to a page (modifying the user page by writing to it). O_DIRECT currently uses FOLL_GET for short-term (!FOLL_LONGTERM) DMA from/to a user page. In the long run, we want to convert it to properly use FOLL_PIN, and John is working on it, but that might take a while and might not be easy to backport. In the meantime, let's restore what used to work before we started modifying our COW logic: make R/W FOLL_GET references reliable as long as there is no fork() after GUP involved. This is just the natural follow-up of part 2, that will also further reduce "wrong COW" on the swapin path, for example, when we cannot remove a page from the swapcache due to concurrent writeback, or if we have two threads faulting on the same swapped-out page. Fixing O_DIRECT is just a nice side-product This issue, including other related COW issues, has been summarized in [3] under 2): " 2. Intra Process Memory Corruptions due to Wrong COW (FOLL_GET) It was discovered that we can create a memory corruption by reading a file via O_DIRECT to a part (e.g., first 512 bytes) of a page, concurrently writing to an unrelated part (e.g., last byte) of the same page, and concurrently write-protecting the page via clear_refs SOFTDIRTY tracking [6]. For the reproducer, the issue is that O_DIRECT grabs a reference of the target page (via FOLL_GET) and clear_refs write-protects the relevant page table entry. On successive write access to the page from the process itself, we wrongly COW the page when resolving the write fault, resulting in a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption. While some people might think that using clear_refs in this combination is a corner cases, it turns out to be a more generic problem unfortunately. For example, it was just recently discovered that we can similarly create a memory corruption without clear_refs, simply by concurrently swapping out the buffer pages [7]. Note that we nowadays even use the swap infrastructure in Linux without an actual swap disk/partition: the prime example is zram which is enabled as default under Fedora [10]. The root issue is that a write-fault on a page that has additional references results in a COW and thereby a loss of synchronicity and consequently a memory corruption if two parties believe they are referencing the same page. " We don't particularly care about R/O FOLL_GET references: they were never reliable and O_DIRECT doesn't expect to observe modifications from a page after DMA was started. Note that: * this only fixes the issue on x86, arm64, s390x and ppc64/book3s ("enterprise architectures"). Other architectures have to implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE to achieve the same. * this does *not * consider any kind of fork() after taking the reference: fork() after GUP never worked reliably with FOLL_GET. * Not losing PG_anon_exclusive during swapout was the last remaining piece. KSM already makes sure that there are no other references on a page before considering it for sharing. Page migration maintains PG_anon_exclusive and simply fails when there are additional references (freezing the refcount fails). Only swapout code dropped the PG_anon_exclusive flag because it requires more work to remember + restore it. With this series in place, most COW issues of [3] are fixed on said architectures. Other architectures can implement __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE fairly easily. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220329160440.193848-1-david@redhat.com [2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211217113049.23850-1-david@redhat.com [3] https://lore.kernel.org/r/3ae33b08-d9ef-f846-56fb-645e3b9b4c66@redhat.com This patch (of 8): Currently, we clear PG_anon_exclusive in try_to_unmap() and forget about it. We do this, to keep fork() logic on swap entries easy and efficient: for example, if we wouldn't clear it when unmapping, we'd have to lookup the page in the swapcache for each and every swap entry during fork() and clear PG_anon_exclusive if set. Instead, we want to store that information directly in the swap pte, protected by the page table lock, similarly to how we handle SWP_MIGRATION_READ_EXCLUSIVE for migration entries. However, for actual swap entries, we don't want to mess with the swap type (e.g., still one bit) because it overcomplicates swap code. In try_to_unmap(), we already reject to unmap in case the page might be pinned, because we must not lose PG_anon_exclusive on pinned pages ever. Checking if there are other unexpected references reliably *before* completely unmapping a page is unfortunately not really possible: THP heavily overcomplicate the situation. Once fully unmapped it's easier -- we, for example, make sure that there are no unexpected references *after* unmapping a page before starting writeback on that page. So, we currently might end up unmapping a page and clearing PG_anon_exclusive if that page has additional references, for example, due to a FOLL_GET. do_swap_page() has to re-determine if a page is exclusive, which will easily fail if there are other references on a page, most prominently GUP references via FOLL_GET. This can currently result in memory corruptions when taking a FOLL_GET | FOLL_WRITE reference on a page even when fork() is never involved: try_to_unmap() will succeed, and when refaulting the page, it cannot be marked exclusive and will get replaced by a copy in the page tables on the next write access, resulting in writes via the GUP reference to the page being lost. In an ideal world, everybody that uses GUP and wants to modify page content, such as O_DIRECT, would properly use FOLL_PIN. However, that conversion will take a while. It's easier to fix what used to work in the past (FOLL_GET | FOLL_WRITE) remembering PG_anon_exclusive. In addition, by remembering PG_anon_exclusive we can further reduce unnecessary COW in some cases, so it's the natural thing to do. So let's transfer the PG_anon_exclusive information to the swap pte and store it via an architecture-dependant pte bit; use that information when restoring the swap pte in do_swap_page() and unuse_pte(). During fork(), we simply have to clear the pte bit and are done. Of course, there is one corner case to handle: swap backends that don't support concurrent page modifications while the page is under writeback. Special case these, and drop the exclusive marker. Add a comment why that is just fine (also, reuse_swap_page() would have done the same in the past). In the future, we'll hopefully have all architectures support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE, such that we can get rid of the empty stubs and the define completely. Then, we can also convert SWP_MIGRATION_READ_EXCLUSIVE. For architectures it's fairly easy to support: either simply use a yet unused pte bit that can be used for swap entries, steal one from the arch type bits if they exceed 5, or steal one from the offset bits. Note: R/O FOLL_GET references were never really reliable, especially when taking one on a shared page and then writing to the page (e.g., GUP after fork()). FOLL_GET, including R/W references, were never really reliable once fork was involved (e.g., GUP before fork(), GUP during fork()). KSM steps back in case it stumbles over unexpected references and is, therefore, fine.

Worse, uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so requires a lot of synchronization. Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(), commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like what's currently done for swap-in: mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming pages from the memcg if necessary. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type. mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction. This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to drastically simplify uncharging. As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU additions again.

mm/vmscan: protect the workingset on anonymous LRU 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.

mm: change page type prior to adding page table entry Patch series "page table check", v3. Ensure that some memory corruptions are prevented by checking at the time of insertion of entries into user page tables that there is no illegal sharing. We have recently found a problem [1] that existed in kernel since 4.14. The problem was caused by broken page ref count and led to memory leaking from one process into another. The problem was accidentally detected by studying a dump of one process and noticing that one page contains memory that should not belong to this process. There are some other page->_refcount related problems that were recently fixed: [2], [3] which potentially could also lead to illegal sharing. In addition to hardening refcount [4] itself, this work is an attempt to prevent this class of memory corruption issues. It uses a simple state machine that is independent from regular MM logic to check for illegal sharing at time pages are inserted and removed from page tables.

In most places, however, we first configure the page metadata and then insert entries into the page table. Page table check, will use the information from struct page to verify the type of entry is inserted. Change the order in all places to first update struct page, and later to update page table. This means that we first do calls that may change the type of page (anon or file): page_move_anon_rmap page_add_anon_rmap do_page_add_anon_rmap page_add_new_anon_rmap page_add_file_rmap hugepage_add_anon_rmap hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap And after that do calls that add entries to the page table: set_huge_pte_at set_pte_at Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211221154650.1047963-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211221154650.1047963-2-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com Signed-off-by: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Wei Xu <weixugc@google.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Cc: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Cc: "H.

mm: rid swapoff of quadratic complexity This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new results. try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort. It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the page tables for all the processes in the system for each one. This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also makes similar changes to shmem_unuse. Improvement swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted. Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util). Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util). Details In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(), iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside of the RCU critical section. In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk, unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache. If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times. Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration. In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte(). Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of pages has been swapped back in.

Memory controller: memory accounting Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

mm: swap: properly update readahead statistics in unuse_pte_range() In unuse_pte_range() we blindly swap-in pages without checking if the swap entry is already present in the swap cache. By doing this, the hit/miss ratio used by the swap readahead heuristic is not properly updated and this leads to non-optimal performance during swapoff. Tracing the distribution of the readahead size returned by the swap readahead heuristic during swapoff shows that a small readahead size is used most of the time as if we had only misses (this happens both with cluster and vma readahead), for example: r::swapin_nr_pages(unsigned long offset):unsigned long:$retval COUNT EVENT 36948 $retval = 8 44151 $retval = 4 49290 $retval = 1 527771 $retval = 2 Checking if the swap entry is present in the swap cache, instead, allows to properly update the readahead statistics and the heuristic behaves in a better way during swapoff, selecting a bigger readahead size: r::swapin_nr_pages(unsigned long offset):unsigned long:$retval COUNT EVENT 1618 $retval = 1 4960 $retval = 2 41315 $retval = 4 103521 $retval = 8 In terms of swapoff performance the result is the following: Testing environment =================== - Host: CPU: 1.8GHz Intel Core i7-8565U (quad-core, 8MB cache) HDD: PC401 NVMe SK hynix 512GB MEM: 16GB - Guest (kvm): 8GB of RAM virtio block driver 16GB swap file on ext4 (/swapfile) Test case ========= - allocate 85% of memory - `systemctl hibernate` to force all the pages to be swapped-out to the swap file - resume the system - measure the time that swapoff takes to complete: # /usr/bin/time swapoff /swapfile Result (swapoff time) ====== 5.6 vanilla 5.6 w/ this patch ----------- ----------------- cluster-readahead 22.09s 12.19s vma-readahead 18.20s 15.33s Conclusion ========== The specific use case this patch is addressing is to improve swapoff performance in cloud environments when a VM has been hibernated, resumed and all the memory needs to be forced back to RAM by disabling swap.

userfaultfd: provide unmasked address on page-fault Userfaultfd is supposed to provide the full address (i.e., unmasked) of the faulting access back to userspace. However, that is not the case for quite some time. Even running "userfaultfd_demo" from the userfaultfd man page provides the wrong output (and contradicts the man page). Notice that "UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event" shows the masked address (7fc5e30b3000) and not the first read address (0x7fc5e30b300f). Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fc5e30b3000 fault_handler_thread(): poll() returns: nready = 1; POLLIN = 1; POLLERR = 0 UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event: flags = 0; address = 7fc5e30b3000 (uffdio_copy.copy returned 4096) Read address 0x7fc5e30b300f in main(): A Read address 0x7fc5e30b340f in main(): A Read address 0x7fc5e30b380f in main(): A Read address 0x7fc5e30b3c0f in main(): A The exact address is useful for various reasons and specifically for prefetching decisions. If it is known that the memory is populated by certain objects whose size is not page-aligned, then based on the faulting address, the uffd-monitor can decide whether to prefetch and prefault the adjacent page. This bug has been for quite some time in the kernel: since commit 1a29d85eb0f1 ("mm: use vmf->address instead of of vmf->virtual_address") vmf->virtual_address"), which dates back to 2016. A concern has been raised that existing userspace application might rely on the old/wrong behavior in which the address is masked. Therefore, it was suggested to provide the masked address unless the user explicitly asks for the exact address. Add a new userfaultfd feature UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS to direct userfaultfd to provide the exact address. Add a new "real_address" field to vmf to hold the unmasked address. Provide the address to userspace accordingly. Initialize real_address in various code-paths to be consistent with address, even when it is not used, to be on the safe side.

If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times. Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration. In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte(). Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of pages has been swapped back in.

mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd materializing as trans huge. It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a pmd_trans_huge(). Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it will be zapped. Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a pmd_trans_huge()). The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack (regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge, and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained above). All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and pmd_none_or_clear_bad). if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) { if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) { VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem)); split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd); } else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr)) continue; /* fall through */ } if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd)) Because this race condition could be exercised without special privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179. The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it. I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference. ====== start quote ======= mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1 kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384! At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the following is logged on the console: mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7). The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears the page's PMD table entry. 143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd) 144 { -> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd); 146 pmd_clear(pmd); 147 } After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency. 1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) 1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n", 1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page)); -> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)); The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded process.

Thread B holds the page_table_lock while the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated. However, Thread A does not synchronize on that lock. ====== end quote ======= [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Reported-by: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Acked-by: Larry Woodman <lwoodman@redhat.com> Acked-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [2.6.38+] Cc: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: rid swapoff of quadratic complexity This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new results. try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort. It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the page tables for all the processes in the system for each one. This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also makes similar changes to shmem_unuse. Improvement swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted. Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util). Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util). Details In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(), iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside of the RCU critical section. In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk, unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache. If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times. Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration. In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte(). Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of pages has been swapped back in.

mm: rid swapoff of quadratic complexity This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new results. try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort. It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the page tables for all the processes in the system for each one. This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also makes similar changes to shmem_unuse. Improvement swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted. Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util). Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util). Details In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(), iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside of the RCU critical section. In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk, unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache. If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times. Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration. In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte(). Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of pages has been swapped back in.

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff". Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk. --- [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: change counter to atomic_t to avoid races] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [v11: Rebased, fixed mm/swapfile.c context change] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

mm: rid swapoff of quadratic complexity This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and Huang Ying.

mm: try_to_unuse check removing right swap There's a possible race in try_to_unuse() which Nick Piggin led me to two years ago. Where it does lock_page() after read_swap_cache_async(), what if another task removed that page from swapcache just before we locked it? It would sail though the (*swap_map > 1) tests doing nothing (because it could not have been removed from swapcache before its swap references were gone), until it reaches the delete_from_swap_cache(page) near the bottom. Now imagine that this page has been allocated to swap on a different swap area while we dropped page lock (perhaps at the top, perhaps in unuse_mm): we could wrongly remove from swap cache before the page has been written to swap, so a subsequent do_swap_page() would read in stale data from swap. I think this case could not happen before: remove_exclusive_swap_page() refused while page count was raised. But now with reuse_swap_page() and try_to_free_swap() removing from swap cache without minding page count, I think it could happen - the previous patch argued that it was safe because try_to_unuse() already ignored page count, but overlooked that it might be breaking the assumptions in try_to_unuse() itself.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

* Lets check again to see if there are still swap entries in the map.
* If yes, we would need to do retry the unuse logic again.
* Under global memory pressure, swap entries can be reinserted back
* into process space after the mmlist loop above passes over them.
*
* Limit the number of retries? No: when mmget_not_zero()
* above fails, that mm is likely to be freeing swap from
* exit_mmap(), which proceeds at its own independent pace;
* and even shmem_writepage() could have been preempted after
* folio_alloc_swap(), temporarily hiding that swap. It's easy
* and robust (though cpu-intensive) just to keep retrying.
mm: rid swapoff of quadratic complexity This patch was initially posted by Kelley Nielsen. Reposting the patch with all review comments addressed and with minor modifications and optimizations. Also, folding in the fixes offered by Hugh Dickins and Huang Ying. Tests were rerun and commit message updated with new results. try_to_unuse() is of quadratic complexity, with a lot of wasted effort. It unuses swap entries one by one, potentially iterating over all the page tables for all the processes in the system for each one. This new proposed implementation of try_to_unuse simplifies its complexity to linear. It iterates over the system's mms once, unusing all the affected entries as it walks each set of page tables. It also makes similar changes to shmem_unuse. Improvement swapoff was called on a swap partition containing about 6G of data, in a VM(8cpu, 16G RAM), and calls to unuse_pte_range() were counted. Present implementation....about 1200M calls(8min, avg 80% cpu util). Prototype.................about 9.0K calls(3min, avg 5% cpu util). Details In shmem_unuse(), iterate over the shmem_swaplist and, for each shmem_inode_info that contains a swap entry, pass it to shmem_unuse_inode(), along with the swap type. In shmem_unuse_inode(), iterate over its associated xarray, and store the index and value of each swap entry in an array for passing to shmem_swapin_page() outside of the RCU critical section. In try_to_unuse(), instead of iterating over the entries in the type and unusing them one by one, perhaps walking all the page tables for all the processes for each one, iterate over the mmlist, making one pass. Pass each mm to unuse_mm() to begin its page table walk, and during the walk, unuse all the ptes that have backing store in the swap type received by try_to_unuse(). After the walk, check the type for orphaned swap entries with find_next_to_unuse(), and remove them from the swap cache. If find_next_to_unuse() starts over at the beginning of the type, repeat the check of the shmem_swaplist and the walk a maximum of three times. Change unuse_mm() and the intervening walk functions down to unuse_pte_range() to take the type as a parameter, and to iterate over their entire range, calling the next function down on every iteration. In unuse_pte_range(), make a swap entry from each pte in the range using the passed in type. If it has backing store in the type, call swapin_readahead() to retrieve the page and pass it to unuse_pte(). Pass the count of pages_to_unuse down the page table walks in try_to_unuse(), and return from the walk when the desired number of pages has been swapped back in.

mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset.

mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to allocate space and write to the blocks directly. This effectively ensures that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file. If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were resident in memory. This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file. int swap_activate(struct file *); int swap_deactivate(struct file *); The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory. The ->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate() returned success. After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache pages and ->readpage to read. It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but it is an unnecessary complication. Similarly, it is possible that ->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset. For a continuous block range, one swap_extent is used and all these swap_extents are managed in a linked list. These swap_extents are used by map_swap_entry() during swap's read and write path. To find out the backing device's block offset for a page offset, the swap_extent list will be traversed linearly, with curr_swap_extent being used as a cache to speed up the search. This works well as long as swap_extents are not huge or when the number of processes that access swap device are few, but when the swap device has many extents and there are a number of processes accessing the swap device concurrently, it can be a problem.

The end result is, kernel spends abou 30% time in map_swap_entry() and swap throughput is only 70MB/s. As a comparison, when I used smaller sized swapfile, like 4G whose swap_extent dropped to 2000, swap throughput is back to 400-500MB/s and map_swap_entry() is about 3%. One downside of using rbtree for swap_extent is, 'struct rbtree' takes 24 bytes while 'struct list_head' takes 16 bytes, that's 8 bytes more for each swap_extent. For a swapfile that has 80k swap_extents, that means 625KiB more memory consumed. Test: Since it's not possible to reboot that server, I can not test this patch diretly there. Instead, I tested it on another server with NVMe disk. I created a 20G swapfile on an NVMe backed XFS fs. By default, the filesystem is quite clean and the created swapfile has only 2 extents.

/*
* A `swap extent' is a simple thing which maps a contiguous range of pages
* onto a contiguous range of disk blocks. An ordered list of swap extents
* is built at swapon time and is then used at swap_writepage/swap_readpage
* time for locating where on disk a page belongs.
*
* If the swapfile is an S_ISBLK block device, a single extent is installed.
* This is done so that the main operating code can treat S_ISBLK and S_ISREG
* swap files identically.
*
* Whether the swapdev is an S_ISREG file or an S_ISBLK blockdev, the swap
* extent list operates in PAGE_SIZE disk blocks. Both S_ISREG and S_ISBLK
* swapfiles are handled *identically* after swapon time.
*
* For S_ISREG swapfiles, setup_swap_extents() will walk all the file's blocks
* and will parse them into an ordered extent list, in PAGE_SIZE chunks. If
* some stray blocks are found which do not fall within the PAGE_SIZE alignment
* requirements, they are simply tossed out - we will never use those blocks
* for swapping.
*
* For all swap devices we set S_SWAPFILE across the life of the swapon. This
* prevents users from writing to the swap device, which will corrupt memory.
*
* The amount of disk space which a single swap extent represents varies.
* Typically it is in the 1-4 megabyte range. So we can have hundreds of
* extents in the list. To avoid much list walking, we cache the previous
* search location in `curr_swap_extent', and start new searches from there.
* This is extremely effective. The average number of iterations in
* map_swap_page() has been measured at about 0.3 per page. - akpm.

mm: introduce ->swap_rw and use it for reads from SWP_FS_OPS swap-space swap currently uses ->readpage to read swap pages. This can only request one page at a time from the filesystem, which is not most efficient. swap uses ->direct_IO for writes which while this is adequate is an inappropriate over-loading. ->direct_IO may need to had handle allocate space for holes or other details that are not relevant for swap. So this patch introduces a new address_space operation: ->swap_rw. In this patch it is used for reads, and a subsequent patch will switch writes to use it. No filesystem yet supports ->swap_rw, but that is not a problem because no filesystem actually works with filesystem-based swap. Only two filesystems set SWP_FS_OPS: - cifs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO always fails so swap cannot work. - nfs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO calls generic_write_checks() which has failed on swap files for several releases. To ensure that a NULL ->swap_rw isn't called, ->activate_swap() for both NFS and cifs are changed to fail if ->swap_rw is not set. This can be removed if/when the function is added. Future patches will restore swap-over-NFS functionality. To submit an async read with ->swap_rw() we need to allocate a structure to hold the kiocb and other details. swap_readpage() cannot handle transient failure, so we create a mempool to provide the structures.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2.

* Finished initializing swap device, now it's safe to reference it.
mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm/swap: add cache for swap slots allocation We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock. Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap slots returned. This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with other slots in a cluster. We do not reuse the slots that are returned right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots. The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when searching for empty slots in cache. The swap free cache is protected by a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path. We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots fall below a low watermark threshold.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoff Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by concurrent swapon. The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096 and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize of swapped off device with wrong blocksize. The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon: 0. Swap for some device is on. 1. swapoff: First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct *p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is released for the call try_to_unuse(). 2. swapon: After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex & swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device. The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device. This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not. The swapon ends successfully. 3. swapoff: Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff.

To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called.

swap: make swap discard async swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some problems here: 1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and writes the disk sectors. This is useless for high end SSD, because an overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A discard + overwrite == overwrite. 2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write. Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard earlier or later doesn't make 3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map() significantly. 4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD. Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently. This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole cluster. My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

swap_info: swap count continuations Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry). swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag) We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff: at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances, assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong. Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented, and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count: possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT. This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows, a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced: the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoff Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by concurrent swapon. The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096 and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize of swapped off device with wrong blocksize. The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon: 0. Swap for some device is on. 1. swapoff: First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct *p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is released for the call try_to_unuse(). 2. swapon: After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex & swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device. The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device. This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not. The swapon ends successfully. 3. swapoff: Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: reduce lock contention on swap cache from swap slots allocation In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"). The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes the lock contention on the swap cache. To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly. Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next scanning base is used. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11 _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93 After applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19 The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated. And the pmbench score increases 18.5%. The swapin throughput increases 18.7% from 2.96 GB/s to 3.51 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 18.5% from 2.99 GB/s to 3.54 GB/s. We need really fast disk to show the benefit. I have tried this on 2 Intel P3600 NVMe disks. The performance improvement is only about 1%. The improvement should be better on the faster disks, such as Intel Optane disk.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures, such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail. But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc() firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed. In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation. From Dave Hansen: "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less fragmentation. The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to allocate the contiguous pages successfully. The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed, because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for it. That makes it a little harder to change.

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address space will be used for each swap device. And in the common configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently. But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention reduction. The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on x86_64 architecture. One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

memcg: swap cgroup for remembering usage For accounting swap, we need a record per swap entry, at least. This patch adds following function. - swap_cgroup_swapon() .... called from swapon - swap_cgroup_swapoff() ... called at the end of swapoff. - swap_cgroup_record() .... record information of swap entry. - swap_cgroup_lookup() .... lookup information of swap entry. This patch just implements "how to record information". No actual method for limit the usage of swap. These routine uses flat table to record and lookup. "wise" lookup system like radix-tree requires requires memory allocation at new records but swap-out is usually called under memory shortage (or memcg hits limit.) So, I used static allocation. (maybe dynamic allocation is not very hard but it adds additional memory allocation in memory shortage path.) Note1: In this, we use pointer to record information and this means 8bytes per swap entry. I think we can reduce this when we create "id of cgroup" in the range of 0-65535 or 0-255.

swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoff Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by concurrent swapon. The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096 and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize of swapped off device with wrong blocksize. The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon: 0. Swap for some device is on. 1. swapoff: First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct *p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is released for the call try_to_unuse(). 2. swapon: After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex & swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device. The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device. This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not. The swapon ends successfully. 3. swapoff: Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev open, close, claim and release. * blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions. * bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open. * open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and the other way around, respectively. * bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave symlinks. * open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get(). The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"... Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never disappear simply do not need such protection. Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such "permanent" files. Enable "permanent" flag for /proc/cpuinfo /proc/kmsg /proc/modules /proc/slabinfo /proc/stat /proc/sysvipc/* /proc/swaps More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons when it is not.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

[PATCH] Swapless page migration: add R/W migration entries Implement read/write migration ptes We take the upper two swapfiles for the two types of migration ptes and define a series of macros in swapops.h. The VM is modified to handle the migration entries. migration entries can only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked. This limits the number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes. We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will then wait on the page lock. This allows us to effectively stop all accesses to apge. Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and removed by local functions in migrate.c From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page. This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list. Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork: copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has removed it from the parent vma. (If the process were later to fault on this orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.) This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather not. There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the tail instead of the head. (There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries, because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is allowed for. And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap, because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless method has no refcounting of its entries.) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being properly write-protected on fork. The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write", and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30. Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon's range check on swap type, which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset. For a continuous block range, one swap_extent is used and all these swap_extents are managed in a linked list. These swap_extents are used by map_swap_entry() during swap's read and write path. To find out the backing device's block offset for a page offset, the swap_extent list will be traversed linearly, with curr_swap_extent being used as a cache to speed up the search. This works well as long as swap_extents are not huge or when the number of processes that access swap device are few, but when the swap device has many extents and there are a number of processes accessing the swap device concurrently, it can be a problem. On one of our servers, the disk's remaining size is tight: $df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ... ... /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.8T 1.3T 504G 72% /home/t4 When creating a 80G swapfile there, there are as many as 84656 swap extents. The end result is, kernel spends abou 30% time in map_swap_entry() and swap throughput is only 70MB/s. As a comparison, when I used smaller sized swapfile, like 4G whose swap_extent dropped to 2000, swap throughput is back to 400-500MB/s and map_swap_entry() is about 3%. One downside of using rbtree for swap_extent is, 'struct rbtree' takes 24 bytes while 'struct list_head' takes 16 bytes, that's 8 bytes more for each swap_extent. For a swapfile that has 80k swap_extents, that means 625KiB more memory consumed. Test: Since it's not possible to reboot that server, I can not test this patch diretly there. Instead, I tested it on another server with NVMe disk. I created a 20G swapfile on an NVMe backed XFS fs. By default, the filesystem is quite clean and the created swapfile has only 2 extents. Testing vanilla and this patch shows no obvious performance difference when swapfile is not fragmented. To see the patch's effects, I used some tweaks to manually fragment the swapfile by breaking the extent at 1M boundary. This made the swapfile have 20K extents. nr_task=4 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 165191 90.77% 171798 90.21% patched 858993 +420% 2.16% 715827 +317% 0.77% nr_task=8 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 306783 92.19% 318145 87.76% patched 954437 +211% 2.35% 1073741 +237% 1.57% swapout: the throughput of swap out, in KB/s, higher is better 1st map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf swapin: the throughput of swap in, in KB/s, higher is better. 2nd map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf nr_task=1 doesn't show any difference, this is due to the curr_swap_extent can be effectively used to cache the correct swap extent for single task workload.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map (swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters. If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX, multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page. The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable swap entries or software lockup, etc. To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well. But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some more fine grained locks.

mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff Patch series "close various race windows for swap", v6. When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref support for swap and most of the remaining patches try to use this to close various race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 4): Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for some swap ops, e.g. swap_readpage(), looks terrible because they might take really long time. This patch adds the percpu_ref support to serialize against concurrent swapoff(as suggested by Huang, Ying). Also we remove the SWP_VALID flag because it's used together with RCU solution.

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address space will be used for each swap device. And in the common configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently. But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention reduction. The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on x86_64 architecture. One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system.

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address space will be used for each swap device. And in the common configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently. But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention reduction. The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on x86_64 architecture. One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility with older swapon(8).

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff". Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk. --- [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: change counter to atomic_t to avoid races] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [v11: Rebased, fixed mm/swapfile.c context change] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

swap: make swap discard async swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some problems here: 1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and writes the disk sectors. This is useless for high end SSD, because an overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A discard + overwrite == overwrite. 2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write. Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard earlier or later doesn't make 3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map() significantly. 4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD. Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently. This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole cluster. My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: reduce lock contention on swap cache from swap slots allocation In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"). The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes the lock contention on the swap cache. To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly. Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next scanning base is used. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures, such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail. But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc() firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed. In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation. From Dave Hansen: "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less fragmentation. The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to allocate the contiguous pages successfully. The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed, because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for it. That makes it a little harder to change.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm/swapfile.c: move inode_lock out of claim_swapfile claim_swapfile() currently keeps the inode locked when it is successful, or the file is already swapfile (with -EBUSY). And, on the other error cases, it does not lock the inode. This inconsistency of the lock state and return value is quite confusing and actually causing a bad unlock balance as below in the "bad_swap" section of __do_sys_swapon(). This commit fixes this issue by moving the inode_lock() and IS_SWAPFILE check out of claim_swapfile(). The inode is unlocked in "bad_swap_unlock_inode" section, so that the inode is ensured to be unlocked at "bad_swap". Thus, error handling codes after the locking now jumps to "bad_swap_unlock_inode" instead of "bad_swap". ===================================== WARNING: bad unlock balance detected! 5.5.0-rc7+ #176 Not tainted ------------------------------------- swapon/4294 is trying to release lock (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key) at: __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: no locks held by swapon/4294. stack backtrace: CPU: 5 PID: 4294 Comm: swapon Not tainted 5.5.0-rc7-BTRFS-ZNS+ #176 Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H87-PRO, BIOS 2102 07/29/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0xa1/0xea print_unlock_imbalance_bug.cold+0x114/0x123 lock_release+0x562/0xed0 up_write+0x2d/0x490 __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 __x64_sys_swapon+0x54/0x80 do_syscall_64+0xa4/0x4b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f15da0a0dc7 Fixes: 1638045c3677 ("mm: set S_SWAPFILE on blockdev swap devices") Signed-off-by: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Tested-by: Qais Youef <qais.yousef@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff". Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk. --- [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: change counter to atomic_t to avoid races] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [v11: Rebased, fixed mm/swapfile.c context change] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

/* frontswap enabled? set up bit-per-page map for frontswap */
mm, frontswap: convert frontswap_enabled to static key I have noticed that frontswap.h first declares "frontswap_enabled" as extern bool variable, and then overrides it with "#define frontswap_enabled (1)" for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP=Y or (0) when disabled. The bool variable isn't actually instantiated anywhere. This all looks like an unfinished attempt to make frontswap_enabled reflect whether a backend is instantiated. But in the current state, all frontswap hooks call unconditionally into frontswap.c just to check if frontswap_ops is non-NULL. This should at least be checked inline, but we can further eliminate the overhead when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is enabled and no backend registered, using a static key that is initially disabled, and gets enabled only upon first backend registration. Thus, checks for "frontswap_enabled" are replaced with "frontswap_enabled()" wrapping the static key check. There are two exceptions: - xen's selfballoon_process() was testing frontswap_enabled in code guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_FRONTSWAP, which was effectively always true when reachable. The patch just removes this check. Using frontswap_enabled() does not sound correct here, as this can be true even without xen's own backend being registered. - in SYSCALL_DEFINE2(swapon), change the check to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP) as it seems the bitmap allocation cannot currently be postponed until a backend is registered. This means that frontswap will still have some memory overhead by being configured, but without a backend. After the patch, we can expect that some functions in frontswap.c are called only when frontswap_ops is non-NULL. Change the checks there to VM_BUG_ONs. While at it, convert other BUG_ONs to VM_BUG_ONs as frontswap has been stable for some time.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures, such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail. But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc() firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed. In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation. From Dave Hansen: "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less fragmentation. The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to allocate the contiguous pages successfully. The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed, because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for it. That makes it a little harder to change.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to 20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to 80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow. Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears. This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently. We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see below). The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too. And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this isn't a problem at all. Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality.

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address space will be used for each swap device. And in the common configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently. But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention reduction. The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on x86_64 architecture. One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

mm/swapfile.c: move inode_lock out of claim_swapfile claim_swapfile() currently keeps the inode locked when it is successful, or the file is already swapfile (with -EBUSY). And, on the other error cases, it does not lock the inode. This inconsistency of the lock state and return value is quite confusing and actually causing a bad unlock balance as below in the "bad_swap" section of __do_sys_swapon(). This commit fixes this issue by moving the inode_lock() and IS_SWAPFILE check out of claim_swapfile(). The inode is unlocked in "bad_swap_unlock_inode" section, so that the inode is ensured to be unlocked at "bad_swap". Thus, error handling codes after the locking now jumps to "bad_swap_unlock_inode" instead of "bad_swap". ===================================== WARNING: bad unlock balance detected! 5.5.0-rc7+ #176 Not tainted ------------------------------------- swapon/4294 is trying to release lock (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key) at: __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: no locks held by swapon/4294. stack backtrace: CPU: 5 PID: 4294 Comm: swapon Not tainted 5.5.0-rc7-BTRFS-ZNS+ #176 Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H87-PRO, BIOS 2102 07/29/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0xa1/0xea print_unlock_imbalance_bug.cold+0x114/0x123 lock_release+0x562/0xed0 up_write+0x2d/0x490 __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 __x64_sys_swapon+0x54/0x80 do_syscall_64+0xa4/0x4b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f15da0a0dc7 Fixes: 1638045c3677 ("mm: set S_SWAPFILE on blockdev swap devices") Signed-off-by: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Tested-by: Qais Youef <qais.yousef@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff".

swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard: a) and can do it quickly; b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other I/O); c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to send one down; And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions: i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is capable of doing so optimally; ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet); iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or iv. turn it off completely (default behavior) As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b) even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is not capable of performing it optimally. This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints. This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap device constraint.

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff". Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk. --- [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: change counter to atomic_t to avoid races] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [v11: Rebased, fixed mm/swapfile.c context change] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

mm/swapfile.c: move inode_lock out of claim_swapfile claim_swapfile() currently keeps the inode locked when it is successful, or the file is already swapfile (with -EBUSY). And, on the other error cases, it does not lock the inode. This inconsistency of the lock state and return value is quite confusing and actually causing a bad unlock balance as below in the "bad_swap" section of __do_sys_swapon(). This commit fixes this issue by moving the inode_lock() and IS_SWAPFILE check out of claim_swapfile(). The inode is unlocked in "bad_swap_unlock_inode" section, so that the inode is ensured to be unlocked at "bad_swap". Thus, error handling codes after the locking now jumps to "bad_swap_unlock_inode" instead of "bad_swap". ===================================== WARNING: bad unlock balance detected! 5.5.0-rc7+ #176 Not tainted ------------------------------------- swapon/4294 is trying to release lock (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key) at: __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: no locks held by swapon/4294. stack backtrace: CPU: 5 PID: 4294 Comm: swapon Not tainted 5.5.0-rc7-BTRFS-ZNS+ #176 Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H87-PRO, BIOS 2102 07/29/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0xa1/0xea print_unlock_imbalance_bug.cold+0x114/0x123 lock_release+0x562/0xed0 up_write+0x2d/0x490 __do_sys_swapon+0x94b/0x3550 __x64_sys_swapon+0x54/0x80 do_syscall_64+0xa4/0x4b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f15da0a0dc7 Fixes: 1638045c3677 ("mm: set S_SWAPFILE on blockdev swap devices") Signed-off-by: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Tested-by: Qais Youef <qais.yousef@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim. ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads. We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other CPUs. In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10% swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly. How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side, page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big, this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD. Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk. But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload, per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: reduce lock contention on swap cache from swap slots allocation In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"). The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes the lock contention on the swap cache. To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly. Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next scanning base is used. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11 _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93 After applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19 The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated. And the pmbench score increases 18.5%. The swapin throughput increases 18.7% from 2.96 GB/s to 3.51 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 18.5% from 2.99 GB/s to 3.54 GB/s. We need really fast disk to show the benefit. I have tried this on 2 Intel P3600 NVMe disks. The performance improvement is only about 1%. The improvement should be better on the faster disks, such as Intel Optane disk.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap_info: swap count continuations Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry). swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag) We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff: at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances, assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong. Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented, and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count: possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT. This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows, a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced: the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

swap: fix races exposed by swap discard The previous patch can expose races, according to Hugh: swapoff was sometimes failing with "Cannot allocate memory", coming from try_to_unuse()'s -ENOMEM: it needs to allow for swap_duplicate() failing on a free entry temporarily SWAP_MAP_BAD while being discarded. We should use ACCESS_ONCE() there, and whenever accessing swap_map locklessly; but rather than peppering it throughout try_to_unuse(), just declare *swap_map with volatile. try_to_unuse() is accustomed to *swap_map going down racily, but not necessarily to it jumping up from 0 to SWAP_MAP_BAD: we'll be safer to prevent that transition once SWP_WRITEOK is switched off, when it's a waste of time to issue discards anyway (swapon can do a whole discard). Another issue is: In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry, because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad. This doesn't break anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page reclaim. We should avoid read such swap entry. And in discard, we mark swap entry SWAP_MAP_BAD and then switch it to normal when discard is finished. If readahead reads such swap entry, we have the same issue, so we much check if swap entry is bad too. Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm, swap: bounds check swap_info array accesses to avoid NULL derefs Dan Carpenter reports a potential NULL dereference in get_swap_page_of_type: Smatch complains that the NULL checks on "si" aren't consistent. This seems like a real bug because we have not ensured that the type is valid and so "si" can be NULL. Add the missing check for NULL, taking care to use a read barrier to ensure CPU1 observes CPU0's updates in the correct order: CPU0 CPU1 alloc_swap_info() if (type >= nr_swapfiles) swap_info[type] = p /* handle invalid entry */ smp_wmb() smp_rmb() ++nr_swapfiles p = swap_info[type] Without smp_rmb, CPU1 might observe CPU0's write to nr_swapfiles before CPU0's write to swap_info[type] and read NULL from swap_info[type]. Ying Huang noticed other places in swapfile.c don't order these reads properly. Introduce swap_type_to_swap_info to encourage correct usage. Use READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE to follow the Linux Kernel Memory Model (see tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt). This ordering need not be enforced in places where swap_lock is held (e.g. si_swapinfo) because swap_lock serializes updates to nr_swapfiles and the swap_info array.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff.

NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race like below, CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_swap_page swapin_readahead __read_swap_cache_async swapoff swapcache_prepare p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */ Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed. To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map (swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters. If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX, multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page. The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable swap entries or software lockup, etc. To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well. But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some more fine grained locks.

mm/swap: add cluster lock This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all swap related operations. In fact, many swap operations only access one element of swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

If so, it will keep the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called. Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called. In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff too. Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing swap cache data structure. Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() + stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is similar. The advantages of RCU based method are, 1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other CPUs. 2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code between them. 3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be merged to simplify the logic.

In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly. Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space. Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the false sharing should be not serious. Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap_info: swap count continuations Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry). swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag) We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff: at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances, assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong. Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented, and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count: possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT. This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows, a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced: the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map (swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters. If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX, multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page. The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable swap entries or software lockup, etc. To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well. But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some more fine grained locks.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance. The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's swap_avail_list. The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value, or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value. Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are available, each sit on a different node: swapA on node 0 swapB on node 1 swapC on node 2 swapD on node 3 After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD. Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This minimizes the memcg overhead in the pagefault and exit_mmap paths when memcgs are disabled using cgroup_disable=memory command-line option.

Current behaviour: their priorities will be: swapA: -1 swapB: -2 swapC: -3 swapD: -4 And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be: swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 New behaviour: their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped): swapA: -2 swapB: -3 swapC: -4 swapD: -5 And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be: swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */ swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */ swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */ swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5 swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */ swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4 To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random position to trigger both swap in and out is used. On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the result is: runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G kernel throughput vanilla 13306 auto-binding 15169 +14% runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G kernel throughput vanilla 11885 auto-binding 14879 +25% [aaron.lu@intel.com: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use kmalloc_array()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170814053130.GD2369@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816024439.GA10925@aaronlu.sh.intel.com Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: "Chen, Tim C" <tim.c.chen@intel.com> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
