mm: vmscan: enforce inactive:active ratio at the reclaim root
We split the LRU lists into inactive and an active parts to maximize workingset protection while allowing just enough inactive cache space to faciltate readahead and writeback for one-off file accesses (e.g. a linear scan through a file, or logging); or just enough inactive anon to maintain recent reference information when reclaim needs to swap. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, inactive:active size decisions are done on a per-cgroup level. As a result, we'll reclaim a cgroup's workingset when it doesn't have cold pages, even when one of its siblings has plenty of it that should be reclaimed first. For example: workload A has 50M worth of hot cache but doesn't do any one-off file accesses; meanwhile, parallel workload B scans files and rarely accesses the same page twice. If these workloads were to run in an uncgrouped system, A would be protected from the high rate of cache faults from B. But if they were put in parallel cgroups for memory accounting purposes, B's fast cache fault rate would push out the hot cache pages of A. This is unexpected and undesirable - the "scan resistance" of the page cache is broken. This patch moves inactive:active size balancing decisions to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by looking at the recursive size of the inactive and the active file sets of the cgroup subtree at the beginning of the reclaim cycle, and then making a decision - scan or skip active pages - that applies throughout the entire run and to every cgroup involved. With that in place, in the test above, the VM will recognize that there are plenty of inactive pages in the combined cache set of workloads A and B and prefer the one-off cache in B over the hot pages in A. The scan resistance of the cache is restored.

mm: vmscan: detect file thrashing at the reclaim root
We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable periods, and minimize IO during transitions. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring. As a result, cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be. [ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ] This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim. Instead of remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that caused the reclaim to happen. When refaults later occur, they'll correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows. I.e. if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just the local order down inside C.

mm: vmscan: move file exhaustion detection to the node level
Patch series "mm: fix page aging across multiple cgroups". When applications are put into unconfigured cgroups for memory accounting purposes, the cgrouping itself should not change the behavior of the page reclaim code. We expect the VM to reclaim the coldest pages in the system. But right now the VM can reclaim hot pages in one cgroup while there is eligible cold cache in others. This is because one part of the reclaim algorithm isn't truly cgroup hierarchy aware: the inactive/active list balancing. That is the part that is supposed to protect hot cache data from one-off streaming IO. The recursive cgroup reclaim scheme will scan and rotate the physical LRU lists of each eligible cgroup at the same rate in a round-robin fashion, thereby establishing a relative order among the pages of all those cgroups. However, the inactive/active balancing decisions are made locally within each cgroup, so when a cgroup is running low on cold pages, its hot pages will get reclaimed - even when sibling cgroups have plenty of cold cache eligible in the same reclaim run. For example: [root@ham ~]# head -n1 /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 1016336 kB [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A... Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B: real 0m4.269s user 0m0.051s sys 0m4.182s Hot pages cached: 134/12800 workingset-a The streaming IO in B, which doesn't benefit from caching at all, pushes out most of the workingset in A. Solution This series fixes the problem by elevating inactive/active balancing decisions to the toplevel of the reclaim run. This is either a cgroup that hit its limit, or straight-up global reclaim if there is physical memory pressure. From there, it takes a recursive view of the cgroup subtree to decide whether page deactivation is necessary. In the test above, the VM will then recognize that cgroup B has plenty of eligible cold cache, and that the hot pages in A can be spared: [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A... Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B: real 0m4.244s user 0m0.064s sys 0m4.177s Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a Implementation Whether active pages can be deactivated or not is influenced by two factors: the inactive list dropping below a minimum size relative to the active list, and the occurence of refaults. This patch series first moves refault detection to the reclaim root, then enforces the minimum inactive size based on a recursive view of the cgroup tree's LRUs. History Note that this actually never worked correctly in Linux cgroups. In the past it worked for global reclaim and leaf limit reclaim only (we used to have two physical LRU linkages per page), but it never worked for intermediate limit reclaim over multiple leaf cgroups. We're noticing this now because 1) we're putting everything into cgroups for accounting, not just the things we want to control and 2) we're moving away from leaf limits that invoke reclaim on individual cgroups, toward large tree reclaim, triggered by high-level limits, or physical memory pressure that is influenced by local protections such as memory.low and memory.min instead. This patch (of 3): When file pages are lower than the watermark on a node, we try to force scan anonymous pages to counter-act the balancing algorithms preference for new file pages when they are likely thrashing. This is a node-level decision, but it's currently made each time we look at an lruvec. This is unnecessarily expensive and also a layering violation that makes the code harder to understand. Clean this up by making the check once per node and setting a flag in the scan_control.

mm: vmscan: harmonize writeback congestion tracking for nodes & memcgs
The current writeback congestion tracking has separate flags for kswapd reclaim (node level) and cgroup limit reclaim (memcg-node level). This is unnecessarily complicated: the lruvec is an existing abstraction layer for that node-memcg intersection. Introduce lruvec->flags and LRUVEC_CONGESTED. Then track that at the reclaim root level, which is either the NUMA node for global reclaim, or the cgroup-node intersection for cgroup reclaim.

mm: vmscan: replace shrink_node() loop with a retry jump
Most of the function body is inside a loop, which imposes an additional indentation and scoping level that makes the code a bit hard to follow and modify. The looping only happens in case of reclaim-compaction, which isn't the common case. So rather than adding yet another function level to the reclaim path and have every reclaim invocation go through a level that only exists for one specific cornercase, use a retry goto.

mm: vmscan: naming fixes: global_reclaim() and sane_reclaim()
Seven years after introducing the global_reclaim() function, I still have to double take when reading a callsite. I don't know how others do it, this is a terrible name. Invert the meaning and rename it to cgroup_reclaim(). [ After all, "global reclaim" is just regular reclaim invoked from the page allocator. It's reclaim on behalf of a cgroup limit that is a special case of reclaim, and should be explicit - not the reverse. ] sane_reclaim() isn't very descriptive either: it tests whether we can use the regular writeback throttling - available during regular page reclaim or cgroup2 limit reclaim - or need to use the broken wait_on_page_writeback() method. Use "writeback_throttling_sane()".

mm: vmscan: move inactive_list_is_low() swap check to the caller
inactive_list_is_low() should be about one thing: checking the ratio between inactive and active list. Kitchensink checks like the one for swap space makes the function hard to use and modify its callsites. Luckly, most callers already have an understanding of the swap situation, so it's easy to clean up. get_scan_count() has its own, memcg-aware swap check, and doesn't even get to the inactive_list_is_low() check on the anon list when there is no swap space available. shrink_list() is called on the results of get_scan_count(), so that check is redundant too. age_active_anon() has its own totalswap_pages check right before it checks the list proportions. The shrink_node_memcg() site is the only one that doesn't do its own swap check. Add it there. Then delete the swap check from inactive_list_is_low().

mm: clean up and clarify lruvec lookup procedure
There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes - especially when it comes to global reclaim. How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec. Document that in a comment. Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper that suggests it's a commonly accessed member. While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second. I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

Patch series "mm: vmscan: cgroup-related cleanups". Here are 8 patches that clean up the reclaim code's interaction with cgroups a bit. They're not supposed to change any behavior, just make the implementation easier to understand and work with. This patch (of 8): This function currently takes the node or lruvec size and subtracts the zones that are excluded by the classzone index of the allocation.

mm, memcg: make scan aggression always exclude protection
This patch is an incremental improvement on the existing
memory.{low,min} relative reclaim work to base its scan pressure
calculations on how much protection is available compared to the current
usage, rather than how much the current usage is over some protection
threshold.
This change doesn't change the experience for the user in the normal
case too much. One benefit is that it replaces the (somewhat arbitrary)
100% cutoff with an indefinite slope, which makes it easier to ballpark
a memory.low value.
As well as this, the old methodology doesn't quite apply generically to
machines with varying amounts of physical memory. Let's say we have a
top level cgroup, workload.slice, and another top level cgroup,
system-management.slice. We want to roughly give 12G to
system-management.slice, so on a 32GB machine we set memory.low to 20GB
in workload.slice, and on a 64GB machine we set memory.low to 52GB.
However, because these are relative amounts to the total machine size,
while the amount of memory we want to generally be willing to yield to
system.slice is absolute (12G), we end up putting more pressure on
system.slice just because we have a larger machine and a larger workload
to fill it, which seems fairly unintuitive. With this new behaviour, we
don't end up with this unintended side effect.
Previously the way that memory.low protection works is that if you are
50% over a certain baseline, you get 50% of your normal scan pressure.
This is certainly better than the previous cliff-edge behaviour, but it
can be improved even further by always considering memory under the
currently enforced protection threshold to be out of bounds. This means
that we can set relatively low memory.low thresholds for variable or
bursty workloads while still getting a reasonable level of protection,
whereas with the previous version we may still trivially hit the 100%
clamp. The previous 100% clamp is also somewhat arbitrary, whereas this
one is more concretely based on the currently enforced protection
threshold, which is likely easier to reason about.
There is also a subtle issue with the way that proportional reclaim
worked previously -- it promotes having no memory.low, since it makes
pressure higher during low reclaim. This happens because we base our
scan pressure modulation on how far memory.current is between memory.min
and memory.low, but if memory.low is unset, we only use the overage
method. In most cromulent configurations, this then means that we end
up with *more* pressure than with no memory.low at all when we're in low
reclaim, which is not really very usable or expected.
With this patch, memory.low and memory.min affect reclaim pressure in a
more understandable and composable way. For example, from a user
standpoint, "protected" memory now remains untouchable from a reclaim
aggression standpoint, and users can also have more confidence that
bursty workloads will still receive some amount of guaranteed
protection.

mm, memcg: make memory.emin the baseline for utilisation determination
Roman points out that when when we do the low reclaim pass, we scale the reclaim pressure relative to position between 0 and the maximum protection threshold. However, if the maximum protection is based on memory.elow, and memory.emin is above zero, this means we still may get binary behaviour on second-pass low reclaim. This is because we scale starting at 0, not starting at memory.emin, and since we don't scan at all below emin, we end up with cliff behaviour. This should be a fairly uncommon case since usually we don't go into the second pass, but it makes sense to scale our low reclaim pressure starting at emin. You can test this by catting two large sparse files, one in a cgroup with emin set to some moderate size compared to physical RAM, and another cgroup without any emin. In both cgroups, set an elow larger than 50% of physical RAM. The one with emin will have less page scanning, as reclaim pressure is lower. Rebase on top of and apply the same idea as what was applied to handle cgroup_memory=disable properly for the original proportional patch http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190201045711.GA18302@chrisdown.name ("mm, memcg: Handle cgroup_disable=memory when getting memcg protection").

mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim
cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low (best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection thresholds. This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits (see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone: 1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned. 2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned. 3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be scanned. (?!) * Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input, so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone. Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed "comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low, but doing this is currently problematic: 1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have *any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured at all. 2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However, protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system, so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we have some elasticity in the workload. 3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due to the current binary reclaim behaviour. With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot. As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation. In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded, which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly, especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being needed. Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and assistance in thinking about how to make this work better. In testing these changes, I intended to verify that: 1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of binary. To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the workload cgroup: +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A | | 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% | | 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% | | 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% | | 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% | | 0 | 3799 | 3980 | 95% | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the control kernel (without this patch). 2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in premature OOMs. To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory. Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim progress to become arrested.

mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU* pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict proactively. A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1]. - man-page material MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x) Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure. Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed if a write access is allowed for the calling process. MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: change PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN with PAGE_REFRECLAIM
The local variable references in shrink_page_list is PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN as default. It is for preventing to reclaim dirty pages when CMA try to migrate pages. Strictly speaking, we don't need it because CMA didn't allow to write out by .may_writepage = 0 in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list. Moreover, it has a problem to prevent anonymous pages's swap out even though force_reclaim = true in shrink_page_list on upcoming patch. So this patch makes references's default value to PAGEREF_RECLAIM and rename force_reclaim with ignore_references to make it more clear. This is a preparatory work for next patch.

mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on memcg kmem
Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is enabled. But, THP deferred split shrinker is not slab shrinker, it doesn't make too much sense to have such shrinker depend on memcg kmem. It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled. Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker. When memcg kmem is disabled, just such shrinkers can be called in shrinking memcg slab.

mm: move mem_cgroup_uncharge out of __page_cache_release()
A later patch makes THP deferred split shrinker memcg aware, but it needs page->mem_cgroup information in THP destructor, which is called after mem_cgroup_uncharge() now. So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except HugeTLB. And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

mm, reclaim: cleanup should_continue_reclaim()
After commit "mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun detection", closer look at the function shows, that nr_reclaimed == 0 means the function will always return false. And since non-zero nr_reclaimed implies non_zero nr_scanned, testing nr_scanned serves no purpose, and so does the testing for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. This patch thus cleans up the function to test only !nr_reclaimed upfront, and remove the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL test and nr_scanned parameter completely. Comment is also updated, explaining that approximating "full LRU list has been scanned" with nr_scanned == 0 didn't really work.

mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun detection
Patch series "address hugetlb page allocation stalls", v2. Allocation of hugetlb pages via sysctl or procfs can stall for minutes or hours. A simple example on a two node system with 8GB of memory is as follows: echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages Obviously, both allocation attempts will fall short of their 8GB goal. However, one or both of these commands may stall and not be interruptible. The issues were initially discussed in mail thread [1] and RFC code at [2]. This series addresses the issues causing the stalls. There are two distinct fixes, a cleanup, and an optimization. The reclaim patch by Hillf and compaction patch by Vlasitmil address corner cases in their respective areas. hugetlb page allocation could stall due to either of these issues. Vlasitmil added a cleanup patch after Hillf's modifications. The hugetlb patch by Mike is an optimization suggested during the debug and development process. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d38a095e-dc39-7e82-bb76-2c9247929f07@oracle.com [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190724175014.9935-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com This patch (of 4): Address the issue of should_continue_reclaim returning true too often for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL attempts when !nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned. This was observed during hugetlb page allocation causing stalls for minutes or hours. We can stop reclaiming pages if compaction reports it can make a progress. There might be side-effects for other high-order allocations that would potentially benefit from reclaiming more before compaction so that they would be faster and less likely to stall. However, the consequences of premature/over-reclaim are considered worse. We can also bail out of reclaiming pages if we know that there are not enough inactive lru pages left to satisfy the costly allocation. We can give up reclaiming pages too if we see dryrun occur, with the certainty of plenty of inactive pages. IOW with dryrun detected, we are sure we have reclaimed as many pages as we could.

mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup iteration between reclaimers
One of our services observed a high rate of cgroup OOM kills in the presence of large amounts of clean cache. Debugging showed that the culprit is the shared cgroup iteration in page reclaim. Under high allocation concurrency, multiple threads enter reclaim at the same time. Fearing overreclaim when we first switched from the single global LRU to cgrouped LRU lists, we introduced a shared iteration state for reclaim invocations - whether 1 or 20 reclaimers are active concurrently, we only walk the cgroup tree once: the 1st reclaimer reclaims the first cgroup, the second the second one etc. With more reclaimers than cgroups, we start another walk from the top. This sounded reasonable at the time, but the problem is that reclaim concurrency doesn't scale with allocation concurrency. As reclaim concurrency increases, the amount of memory individual reclaimers get to scan gets smaller and smaller. Individual reclaimers may only see one cgroup per cycle, and that may not have much reclaimable memory. We see individual reclaimers declare OOM when there is plenty of reclaimable memory available in cgroups they didn't visit. This patch does away with the shared iterator, and every reclaimer is allowed to scan the full cgroup tree and see all of reclaimable memory, just like it would on a non-cgrouped system. This way, when OOM is declared, we know that the reclaimer actually had a chance. To still maintain fairness in reclaim pressure, disallow cgroup reclaim from bailing out of the tree walk early. Kswapd and regular direct reclaim already don't bail, so it's not clear why limit reclaim would have to, especially since it only walks subtrees to begin with. This change completely eliminates the OOM kills on our service, while showing no signs of overreclaim - no increased scan rates, %sys time, or abrupt free memory spikes. I tested across 100 machines that have 64G of RAM and host about 300 cgroups each. [ It's possible overreclaim never was a *practical* issue to begin with - it was simply a concern we had on the mailing lists at the time, with no real data to back it up. But we have also added more bail-out conditions deeper inside reclaim (e.g. the proportional exit in shrink_node_memcg) since. Regardless, now we have data that suggests full walks are more reliable and scale just fine. ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190812192316.13615-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm/vmscan.c: calculate reclaimed slab caches in all reclaim paths
There are six different reclaim paths by now: - kswapd reclaim path - node reclaim path - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path - direct reclaim path - memcg reclaim path - memcg softlimit reclaim path The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the above three paths. There're some drawbacks if we don't calculate the reclaimed slab caches. - The sc->nr_reclaimed isn't correct if there're some slab caches relcaimed in this path. - The slab caches may be reclaimed thoroughly if there're lots of reclaimable slab caches and few page caches. Let's take an easy example for this case. If one memcg is full of slab caches and the limit of it is 512M, in other words there're approximately 512M slab caches in this memcg. Then the limit of the memcg is reached and the memcg reclaim begins, and then in this memcg reclaim path it will continuesly reclaim the slab caches until the sc->priority drops to 0. After this reclaim stops, you will find there're few slab caches left, which is less than 20M in my test case. While after this patch applied the number is greater than 300M and the sc->priority only drops to 3.

mm/vmscan.c: add a new member reclaim_state in struct shrink_control
Patch series "mm/vmscan: calculate reclaimed slab in all reclaim paths". This patchset is to fix the issues in doing shrink slab. There're six different reclaim paths by now, - kswapd reclaim path - node reclaim path - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path - direct reclaim path - memcg reclaim path - memcg softlimit reclaim path The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the above three paths. The issues are detailed explained in patch #2. We should calculate the reclaimed slab caches in every reclaim path. In order to do it, the struct reclaim_state is placed into the struct shrink_control. In node reclaim path, there'is another issue about shrinking slab, which is adressed in "mm/vmscan: shrink slab in node reclaim" (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1559874946-22960-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com/). This patch (of 2): The struct reclaim_state is used to record how many slab caches are reclaimed in one reclaim path. The struct shrink_control is used to control one reclaim path. So we'd better put reclaim_state into shrink_control.

mm: vmscan: scan anonymous pages on file refaults
When file refaults are detected and there are many inactive file pages,
the system never reclaim anonymous pages, the file pages are dropped
aggressively when there are still a lot of cold anonymous pages and
system thrashes. This issue impacts the performance of applications
with large executable, e.g. chrome.
With this patch, when file refault is detected, inactive_list_is_low()
always returns true for file pages in get_scan_count() to enable
scanning anonymous pages.
The problem can be reproduced by the following test program.

mm/vmscan.c: prevent useless kswapd loops
In production we have noticed hard lockups on large machines running
large jobs due to kswaps hoarding lru lock within isolate_lru_pages when
sc->reclaim_idx is 0 which is a small zone. The lru was couple hundred
GiBs and the condition (page_zonenum(page) > sc->reclaim_idx) in
isolate_lru_pages() was basically skipping GiBs of pages while holding
the LRU spinlock with interrupt disabled.
On further inspection, it seems like there are two issues:
(1) If kswapd on the return from balance_pgdat() could not sleep (i.e.
node is still unbalanced), the classzone_idx is unintentionally set
to 0 and the whole reclaim cycle of kswapd will try to reclaim only
the lowest and smallest zone while traversing the whole memory.
(2) Fundamentally isolate_lru_pages() is really bad when the
allocation has woken kswapd for a smaller zone on a very large machine
running very large jobs. It can hoard the LRU spinlock while skipping
over 100s of GiBs of pages.
This patch only fixes (1). (2) needs a more fundamental solution. To
fix (1), in the kswapd context, if pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx is
invalid use the classzone_idx of the previous kswapd loop otherwise use
the one the waker has requested.

mm: memcontrol: make cgroup stats and events query API explicitly local
Patch series "mm: memcontrol: memory.stat cost & correctness". The cgroup memory.stat file holds recursive statistics for the entire subtree. The current implementation does this tree walk on-demand whenever the file is read. This is giving us problems in production. 1. The cost of aggregating the statistics on-demand is high. A lot of system service cgroups are mostly idle and their stats don't change between reads, yet we always have to check them. There are also always some lazily-dying cgroups sitting around that are pinned by a handful of remaining page cache; the same applies to them. In an application that periodically monitors memory.stat in our fleet, we have seen the aggregation consume up to 5% CPU time. 2. When cgroups die and disappear from the cgroup tree, so do their accumulated vm events. The result is that the event counters at higher-level cgroups can go backwards and confuse some of our automation, let alone people looking at the graphs over time. To address both issues, this patch series changes the stat implementation to spill counts upwards when the counters change. The upward spilling is batched using the existing per-cpu cache. In a sparse file stress test with 5 level cgroup nesting, the additional cost of the flushing was negligible (a little under 1% of CPU at 100% CPU utilization, compared to the 5% of reading memory.stat during regular operation). This patch (of 4): memcg_page_state(), lruvec_page_state(), memcg_sum_events() are currently returning the state of the local memcg or lruvec, not the recursive state. In practice there is a demand for both versions, although the callers that want the recursive counts currently sum them up by hand. Per default, cgroups are considered recursive entities and generally we expect more users of the recursive counters, with the local counts being special cases. To reflect that in the name, add a _local suffix to the current implementations. The following patch will re-incarnate these functions with recursive semantics, but with an O(1) implementation.

There are three tracepoints using this template, which are mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin, mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin, mm_vmscan_memcg_softlimit_reclaim_begin. Regarding mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin, sc.may_writepage is !laptop_mode, that's a static setting, and reclaim_idx is derived from gfp_mask which is already show in this tracepoint. Regarding mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin, may_writepage is !laptop_mode too, and reclaim_idx is (MAX_NR_ZONES-1), which are both static value. mm_vmscan_memcg_softlimit_reclaim_begin is the same with mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin.

mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()
Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"] putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function. This patch (of 4): The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more similar to move_active_pages_to_lru(). To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate. Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array. Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

mm: fix inactive list balancing between NUMA nodes and cgroups
During !CONFIG_CGROUP reclaim, we expand the inactive list size if it's
thrashing on the node that is about to be reclaimed. But when cgroups
are enabled, we suddenly ignore the node scope and use the cgroup scope
only. The result is that pressure bleeds between NUMA nodes depending
on whether cgroups are merely compiled into Linux. This behavioral
difference is unexpected and undesirable.
When the refault adaptivity of the inactive list was first introduced,
there were no statistics at the lruvec level - the intersection of node
and memcg - so it was better than nothing.
But now that we have that infrastructure, use lruvec_page_state() to
make the list balancing decision always NUMA aware.

mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access ->lru_lock directly
We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer: zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page)) Which is silly, because it unfolds to this: &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock while we can simply do &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.

mm/vmscan.c: do not allocate duplicate stack variables in shrink_page_list()
On path shrink_inactive_list() ---> shrink_page_list() we allocate stack
variables for the statistics twice. This is completely useless, and
this just consumes stack much more, then we really need.
The patch kills duplicate stack variables from shrink_page_list(), and
this reduce stack usage and object file size significantly:
Stack usage:
Before: vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list 648 static
After: vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list 616 static
Size of vmscan.o:

mm: vmscan: do not iterate all mem cgroups for global direct reclaim
In current implementation, both kswapd and direct reclaim has to iterate
all mem cgroups. It is not a problem before offline mem cgroups could
be iterated. But, currently with iterating offline mem cgroups, it
could be very time consuming. In our workloads, we saw over 400K mem
cgroups accumulated in some cases, only a few hundred are online memcgs.
Although kswapd could help out to reduce the number of memcgs, direct
reclaim still get hit with iterating a number of offline memcgs in some
cases. We experienced the responsiveness problems due to this
occassionally.
A simple test with pref shows it may take around 220ms to iterate 8K
memcgs in direct reclaim:
dd 13873 [011] 578.542919: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin
dd 13873 [011] 578.758689: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_end
So for 400K, it may take around 11 seconds to iterate all memcgs.
Here just break the iteration once it reclaims enough pages as what
memcg direct reclaim does. This may hurt the fairness among memcgs.
But the cached iterator cookie could help to achieve the fairness more
or less.

mm: put_and_wait_on_page_locked() while page is migrated
Waiting on a page migration entry has used wait_on_page_locked() all along since 2006: but you cannot safely wait_on_page_locked() without holding a reference to the page, and that extra reference is enough to make migrate_page_move_mapping() fail with -EAGAIN, when a racing task faults on the entry before migrate_page_move_mapping() gets there. And that failure is retried nine times, amplifying the pain when trying to migrate a popular page. With a single persistent faulter, migration sometimes succeeds; with two or three concurrent faulters, success becomes much less likely (and the more the page was mapped, the worse the overhead of unmapping and remapping it on each try). This is especially a problem for memory offlining, where the outer level retries forever (or until terminated from userspace), because a heavy refault workload can trigger an endless loop of migration failures. wait_on_page_locked() is the wrong tool for the job. David Herrmann (but was he the first?) noticed this issue in 2014: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140110465608116&w=2 Tim Chen started a thread in August 2017 which appears relevant: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150275941014915&w=2 where Kan Liang went on to implicate __migration_entry_wait(): https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150300268411980&w=2 and the thread ended up with the v4.14 commits: |

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs
An external fragmentation event was previously described as
When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using
the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller
than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered
an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future.
The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the
watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the
lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if
there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still
occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep.
This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone
watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing
events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease
free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the
calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size
of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is
cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order
to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the
fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap
from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system
disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that
kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.
This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

the fragmentation events are reduced, it would be expected that the

mm, drm/i915: mark pinned shmemfs pages as unevictable
The i915 driver uses shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem objects. These shmemfs pages can be pinned (increased ref count) by shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). When a lot of pages are pinned, vmscan wastes a lot of time scanning these pinned pages. In some extreme case, all pages in the inactive anon lru are pinned, and only the inactive anon lru is scanned due to inactive_ratio, the system cannot swap and invokes the oom-killer. Mark these pinned pages as unevictable to speed up vmscan. Export pagevec API check_move_unevictable_pages(). This patch was inspired by Chris Wilson's change [1].

Merge branch 'xarray' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax
Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox: "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree, more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to its users. This patch set 1. Introduces the XArray implementation 2. Converts the pagecache to use it 3. Converts memremap to use it The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix tree, so converting it was most important.

mm: zero-seek shrinkers
The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache. Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object. This is a bogus setting. A virtual inode that required no IO to create is not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either. In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine. Such virtual caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually get picked up before they cause problems. But there are scenarios where that's not true. Our database workloads suffer from two of those. For one, their file workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident parts of it. The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per the seeks setting. This is a huge waste of memory. These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use /proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created without involving the disk. This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches. This allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as IO-backed objects are under pressure. It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset. During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however, and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing. Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing. How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit? 20 bits are always page flags 21 if you have an MMU 23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable 29 with the sparsemem section bits 30 if PAE is enabled 31 with this patch. So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6 or 7 sparsemem section bits.

mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off error
I've noticed, that dying memory cgroups are often pinned in memory by a single pagecache page. Even under moderate memory pressure they sometimes stayed in such state for a long time. That looked strange. My investigation showed that the problem is caused by applying the LRU pressure balancing math: scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[lru], denominator), where denominator = fraction[anon] + fraction[file] + 1. Because fraction[lru] is always less than denominator, if the initial scan size is 1, the result is always 0. This means the last page is not scanned and has no chances to be reclaimed. Fix this by rounding up the result of the division. In practice this change significantly improves the speed of dying cgroups reclaim.

mm/vmscan.c: fix int overflow in callers of do_shrink_slab()
do_shrink_slab() returns unsigned long value, and the placing into int variable cuts high bytes off. Then we compare ret and 0xfffffffe (since SHRINK_EMPTY is converted to ret type). Thus a large number of objects returned by do_shrink_slab() may be interpreted as SHRINK_EMPTY, if low bytes of their value are equal to 0xfffffffe. Fix that by declaration ret as unsigned long in these functions.

mm: check shrinker is memcg-aware in register_shrinker_prepared()
There is a sad BUG introduced in patch adding SHRINKER_REGISTERING.
shrinker_idr business is only for memcg-aware shrinkers. Only such type
of shrinkers have id and they must be finaly installed via idr_replace()
in this function. For !memcg-aware shrinkers we never initialize
shrinker->id field.
But there are all types of shrinkers passed to idr_replace(), and every
!memcg-aware shrinker with random ID (most probably, its id is 0)
replaces memcg-aware shrinker pointed by the ID in IDR.
This patch fixes the problem.

mm: use special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING instead of list_empty() check
The patch introduces a special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING to use instead
of list_empty() to differ a registering shrinker from unregistered
shrinker. Why we need that at all?
Shrinker registration is split in two parts. The first one is
prealloc_shrinker(), which allocates shrinker memory and reserves ID in
shrinker_idr. This function can fail. The second is
register_shrinker_prepared(), and it finalizes the registration. This
function actually makes shrinker available to be used from
shrink_slab(), and it can't fail.
One shrinker may be based on more then one LRU lists. So, we never
clear the bit in memcg shrinker maps, when (one of) corresponding LRU
list becomes empty, since other LRU lists may be not empty. See
superblock shrinker for example: it is based on two LRU lists:
s_inode_lru and s_dentry_lru. We do not want to clear shrinker bit,
when there are no inodes in s_inode_lru, as s_dentry_lru may contain
dentries.
Instead of that, we use special algorithm to detect shrinkers having no
elements at all its LRU lists, and this is made in shrink_slab_memcg().
See the comment in this function for the details.
Also, in shrink_slab_memcg() we clear shrinker bit in the map, when we
meet unregistered shrinker (bit is set, while there is no a shrinker in
IDR). Otherwise, we would have done that at the moment of shrinker
unregistration for all memcgs (and this looks worse, since iteration
over all memcg may take much time). Also this would have imposed
restrictions on shrinker unregistration order for its users: they would
have had to guarantee, there are no new elements after
unregister_shrinker() (otherwise, a new added element would have set a
bit).
So, if we meet a set bit in map and no shrinker in IDR when we're
iterating over the map in shrink_slab_memcg(), this means the
corresponding shrinker is unregistered, and we must clear the bit.
Another case is shrinker registration. We want two things there:
1) do_shrink_slab() can be called only for completely registered
shrinkers;
2) shrinker internal lists may be populated in any order with
register_shrinker_prepared() (let's talk on the example with sb). Both
of:
a)list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu0]
memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu0]
...
register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu1]
and
b)register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu0]
...
list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu1]
memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu1]
are legitimate. We don't want to impose restriction here and to
force people to use only (b) variant. We don't want to force people to
care, there is no elements in LRU lists before the shrinker is
completely registered. Internal users of LRU lists and shrinker code
are two different subsystems, and they have to be closed in themselves
each other.
In (a) case we have the bit set before shrinker is completely
registered. We don't want do_shrink_slab() is called at this moment, so
we have to detect such the registering shrinkers.
Before this patch list_empty() (shrinker is not linked to the list)
check was used for that. So, in (a) there could be a bit set, but we
don't call do_shrink_slab() unless shrinker is linked to the list. It's
just an indicator, I just overloaded linking to the list.
This was not the best solution, since it's better not to touch the
shrinker memory from shrink_slab_memcg() before it's completely
registered (this also will be useful in the future to make shrink_slab()
completely lockless).
So, this patch introduces better way to detect registering shrinker,
which allows not to dereference shrinker memory. It's just a ~0UL
value, which we insert into the IDR during ID allocation. After
shrinker is ready to be used, we insert actual shrinker pointer in the
IDR, and it becomes available to shrink_slab_memcg().
We can't use NULL instead of this new value for this purpose as:
shrink_slab_memcg() already uses NULL to detect unregistered shrinkers,
and we don't want the function sees NULL and clears the bit, otherwise
(a) won't work.
This is the only thing the patch makes: the better way to detect
registering shrinker. Nothing else this patch makes.
Also this gives a better assembler, but it's minor side of the patch:
Before:
callq <idr_find>
mov %rax,%r15
test %rax,%rax
je <shrink_slab_memcg+0x1d5>

mm/vmscan.c: clear shrinker bit if there are no objects related to memcg
To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab() for shrinkers, which
already do not have any charged objects in a memcg, their bits have to
be cleared.
This patch introduces a lockless mechanism to do that without races
without parallel list lru add. After do_shrink_slab() returns
SHRINK_EMPTY the first time, we clear the bit and call it once again.
Then we restore the bit, if the new return value is different.
Note, that single smp_mb__after_atomic() in shrink_slab_memcg() covers
two situations:
1)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg
list_add_tail() for_each_set_bit() <--- read bit
do_shrink_slab() <--- missed list update (no barrier)
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab() <--- seen list update
This situation, when the first do_shrink_slab() sees set bit, but it
doesn't see list update (i.e., race with the first element queueing), is
rare. So we don't add <MB> before the first call of do_shrink_slab()
instead of this to do not slow down generic case. Also, it's need the
second call as seen in below in (2).
2)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg()
list_add_tail() ...
set_bit() ...
... for_each_set_bit()
do_shrink_slab() do_shrink_slab()
clear_bit() ...
... ...
list_lru_add() ...
list_add_tail() clear_bit()
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab()
The barriers guarantee that the second do_shrink_slab() in the right
side task sees list update if really cleared the bit. This case is
drawn in the code comment.
[Results/performance of the patchset]
After the whole patchset applied the below test shows signify increase
of performance:

$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct

mm: add SHRINK_EMPTY shrinker methods return value
We need to distinguish the situations when shrinker has very small amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio() called from super_cache_count()), and when it has no objects at all. Currently, in the both of these cases, shrinker::count_objects() returns 0. The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value, which will be used for "no objects at all" case. It's is a refactoring mostly, as SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this patch, and all the magic will happen in further.

mm/vmscan.c: iterate only over charged shrinkers during memcg shrink_slab()
Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers bitmap. To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and !memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen via for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap. In case of big nodes, having many isolated environments, this gives significant performance growth. See next patches for the details. Note that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers, since we never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once. Their shrinkers will be called again, with no shrinked objects as result. This functionality is provided by next patches.

mm, memcg: assign memcg-aware shrinkers bitmap to memcg
Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers. Let we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts, and 10 cgroups. All container tasks don't touch foreign containers mounts. If there is intensive pages write, and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to iterate over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go to shrink_page_list(). Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive: the task has to visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since there are 2000 memcgs, the total calls are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000. So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls just to try to isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one of the actively writing memcg via shrink_page_list(). I've observed a node spending almost 100% in kernel, making useless iteration over already shrinked slab. This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg. The size of the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during memcg life it's maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids shrinkers. Every bit in the map is related to corresponding shrinker id. Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged memcg. This will allow shrink_slab() to increase its performance in significant way. See the last patch for the numbers.

mm: assign id to every memcg-aware shrinker
Introduce shrinker::id number, which is used to enumerate memcg-aware shrinkers. The number start from 0, and the code tries to maintain it as small as possible. This will be used to represent a memcg-aware shrinkers in memcg shrinkers map. Since all memcg-aware shrinkers are based on list_lru, which is per-memcg in case of !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM only, the new functionality will be under this config option.

memcg: introduce memory.min
Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim. But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to invoke the OOM killer. It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism to provide stronger guarantees. This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no more reclaimable memory in the system. If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory, and the system can stall.

lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotation
While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace event
The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12 parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure. This structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c. By moving it to the global vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints. In moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments to the trace event. In the future, we may limit the number of arguments that a trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it may be 8). Before this patch, the code to call the trace event is this: 0f 83 aa fe ff ff jae ffffffff811e6261 <shrink_inactive_list+0x1e1> 48 8b 45 a0 mov -0x60(%rbp),%rax 45 8b 64 24 20 mov 0x20(%r12),%r12d 44 8b 6d d4 mov -0x2c(%rbp),%r13d 8b 4d d0 mov -0x30(%rbp),%ecx 44 8b 75 cc mov -0x34(%rbp),%r14d 44 8b 7d c8 mov -0x38(%rbp),%r15d 48 89 45 90 mov %rax,-0x70(%rbp) 8b 83 b8 fe ff ff mov -0x148(%rbx),%eax 8b 55 c0 mov -0x40(%rbp),%edx 8b 7d c4 mov -0x3c(%rbp),%edi 8b 75 b8 mov -0x48(%rbp),%esi 89 45 80 mov %eax,-0x80(%rbp) 65 ff 05 e4 f7 e2 7e incl %gs:0x7ee2f7e4(%rip) # 15bd0 <__preempt_count> 48 8b 05 75 5b 13 01 mov 0x1135b75(%rip),%rax # ffffffff8231bf68 <__tracepoint_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive+0x28> 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax 74 72 je ffffffff811e646a <shrink_inactive_list+0x3ea> 48 89 c3 mov %rax,%rbx 4c 8b 10 mov (%rax),%r10 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 48 89 85 68 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x98(%rbp) 89 f0 mov %esi,%eax 48 89 85 60 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0xa0(%rbp) 89 c8 mov %ecx,%eax 48 89 85 78 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x88(%rbp) 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax 48 89 85 70 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x90(%rbp) 8b 45 8c mov -0x74(%rbp),%eax 48 8b 7b 08 mov 0x8(%rbx),%rdi 48 83 c3 18 add $0x18,%rbx 50 push %rax 41 54 push %r12 41 55 push %r13 ff b5 78 ff ff ff pushq -0x88(%rbp) 41 56 push %r14 41 57 push %r15 ff b5 70 ff ff ff pushq -0x90(%rbp) 4c 8b 8d 68 ff ff ff mov -0x98(%rbp),%r9 4c 8b 85 60 ff ff ff mov -0xa0(%rbp),%r8 48 8b 4d 98 mov -0x68(%rbp),%rcx 48 8b 55 90 mov -0x70(%rbp),%rdx 8b 75 80 mov -0x80(%rbp),%esi 41 ff d2 callq *%r10 After the patch: 0f 83 a8 fe ff ff jae ffffffff811e626d <shrink_inactive_list+0x1cd> 8b 9b b8 fe ff ff mov -0x148(%rbx),%ebx 45 8b 64 24 20 mov 0x20(%r12),%r12d 4c 8b 6d a0 mov -0x60(%rbp),%r13 65 ff 05 f5 f7 e2 7e incl %gs:0x7ee2f7f5(%rip) # 15bd0 <__preempt_count> 4c 8b 35 86 5b 13 01 mov 0x1135b86(%rip),%r14 # ffffffff8231bf68 <__tracepoint_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive+0x28> 4d 85 f6 test %r14,%r14 74 2a je ffffffff811e6411 <shrink_inactive_list+0x371> 49 8b 06 mov (%r14),%rax 8b 4d 8c mov -0x74(%rbp),%ecx 49 8b 7e 08 mov 0x8(%r14),%rdi 49 83 c6 18 add $0x18,%r14 4c 89 ea mov %r13,%rdx 45 89 e1 mov %r12d,%r9d 4c 8d 45 b8 lea -0x48(%rbp),%r8 89 de mov %ebx,%esi 51 push %rcx 48 8b 4d 98 mov -0x68(%rbp),%rcx ff d0 callq *%rax Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2559d7cb-ec60-1200-2362-04fa34fd02bb@fb.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180322121003.4177af15@gandalf.local.home Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

mm/vmscan: don't mess with pgdat->flags in memcg reclaim
memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in
cgroup and its children. PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep
congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem
pages. But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all
direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested(). Note that only kswapd
have powers to clear any of these bits. This might just never happen if
cgroup limits configured that way. So all direct reclaims will stall as
long as we have some congested bdi in the system.
Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd. kswapd scans the whole
pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus
it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd.
Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these
flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags. I'm
less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and
more worried about the case when it falsely set. If direct reclaimer
sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion
problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It
seems like there is no such guarantee. E.g. direct reclaimers may
eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see
wakeup_kswapd()).
Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim
now loses its congestion throttling mechanism. Add per-cgroup
congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in
congestion state.
Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY
bits since they alter only kswapd behavior.
The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in
one cgroup:
echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester
echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs
/* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
....
while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
and some job in another cgroup:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim
echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 10m15.054s
user 0m0.487s
sys 1m8.505s
According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50%
of the time sleeping there.
With the patch, cat don't waste time anymore:
# time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
real 5m32.911s
user 0m0.411s
sys 0m56.664s

mm/vmscan: don't change pgdat state on base of a single LRU list state
We have separate LRU list for each memory cgroup. Memory reclaim iterates over cgroups and calls shrink_inactive_list() every inactive LRU list. Based on the state of a single LRU shrink_inactive_list() may flag the whole node as dirty,congested or under writeback. This is obviously wrong and hurtful. It's especially hurtful when we have possibly small congested cgroup in system. Than *all* direct reclaims waste time by sleeping in wait_iff_congested(). And the more memcgs in the system we have the longer memory allocation stall is, because wait_iff_congested() called on each lru-list scan. Sum reclaim stats across all visited LRUs on node and flag node as dirty, congested or under writeback based on that sum. Also call congestion_wait(), wait_iff_congested() once per pgdat scan, instead of once per lru-list scan. This only fixes the problem for global reclaim case. Per-cgroup reclaim may alter global pgdat flags too, which is wrong. But that is separate issue and will be addressed in the next patch. This change will not have any effect on a systems with all workload concentrated in a single cgroup.

mm/vmscan: remove redundant current_may_throttle() check
Only kswapd can have non-zero nr_immediate, and current_may_throttle() is always true for kswapd (PF_LESS_THROTTLE bit is never set) thus it's enough to check stat.nr_immediate only.

mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memory
Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed. This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high- order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up. When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even when the zone has an abundance of free memory.
