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

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.
The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.
Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.
static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}
static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}
These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.
For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.
These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.
This patch (of 12):
The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h>
in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.
The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:
for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do
sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f
done

Right now, users that are otherwise memory controlled can easily escape
their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory that they're
not being charged for. That's because swap readahead pages are not being
charged until somebody actually faults them into their page table. This
can be exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead
allocations without charging the pages.
There are additional problems with the delayed charging of swap pages:
1. To implement refault/workingset detection for anonymous pages, we
need to have a target LRU available at swapin time, but the LRU is not
determinable until the page has been charged.
2. To implement per-cgroup LRU locking, we need page->mem_cgroup to be
stable when the page is isolated from the LRU; otherwise, the locks
change under us. But swapcache gets charged after it's already on the
LRU, and even if we cannot isolate it ourselves (since charging is not
exactly optional).
The previous patch ensured we always maintain cgroup ownership records for
swap pages. This patch moves the swapcache charging point from the fault
handler to swapin time to fix all of the above problems.

With the page->mapping requirement gone from memcg, we can charge anon and
file-thp pages in one single step, right after they're allocated.
This removes two out of three API calls - especially the tricky commit
step that needed to happen at just the right time between when the page is
"set up" and when it's "published" - somewhat vague and fluid concepts
that varied by page type. All we need is a freshly allocated page and a
memcg context to charge.

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the
generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a
dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging,
so that page types can be told apart.
Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use
lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the
same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED.
With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM
counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set
up at charge time. However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by
the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the
rmap callbacks around.

The cgroup swaprate throttling is about matching new anon allocations to
the rate of available IO when that is being throttled. It's the io
controller hooking into the VM, rather than a memory controller thing.
Rename mem_cgroup_throttle_swaprate() to cgroup_throttle_swaprate(), and
drop the @memcg argument which is only used to check whether the preceding
page charge has succeeded and the fault is proceeding.
We could decouple the call from mem_cgroup_try_charge() here as well, but
that would cause unnecessary churn: the following patches convert all
callsites to a new charge API and we'll decouple as we go along.

The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging. The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists. This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.
Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along. This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.
Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally. That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.
The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.

Fix the heading and Size/Used/Priority field alignments in /proc/swaps.
If the Size and/or Used value is >= 10000000 (8 bytes), then the
alignment by using tab characters is broken.
This patch maintains the use of tabs for alignment. If spaces are
preferred, we can just use a Field Width specifier for the bytes and
inuse fields. That way those fields don't have to be a multiple of 8
bytes in width. E.g., with a field width of 12, both Size and Used
would always fit on the first line of an 80-column wide terminal (only
Priority would be on the second line).
There are actually 2 problems: heading alignment and field width. On an
xterm, if Used is 7 bytes in length, the tab does nothing, and the
display is like this, with no space/tab between the Used and Priority
fields. (ugh)

To be clear, if one does 'cat /proc/swaps >/tmp/proc.swaps', it does look

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
4b3ef9daa4 ("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.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.

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.

scan_swap_map_slots() is used to iterate swap_map[] array for an
available swap entry. While after several optimizations, e.g. for ssd
case, the logic of this function is a little not easy to catch.
This patchset tries to clean up the logic a little:
* shows the ssd/non-ssd case is handled mutually exclusively
* remove some unnecessary goto for ssd case
This patch (of 3):
When si->cluster_nr is zero, function would reach done and return. The
increased offset would not be used any more. This means we can move the
offset increment into the if clause.
This brings a further code cleanup possibility.

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.
This change allows to better exploits the advantages of the readahead
heuristic during swapoff and this improvement allows to to speed up the
resume process of such VMs.

Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close

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".

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.

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.

The igrab() in shmem_unuse() looks good, but we forgot that it gives no
protection against concurrent unmounting: a point made by Konstantin
Khlebnikov eight years ago, and then fixed in 2.6.39 by 778dd893ae
("tmpfs: fix race between umount and swapoff"). The current 5.1-rc
swapoff is liable to hit "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of tmpfs.
Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day..." followed by GPF.
Once again, give up on using igrab(); but don't go back to making such
heavy-handed use of shmem_swaplist_mutex as last time: that would spoil
the new design, and I expect could deadlock inside shmem_swapin_page().
Instead, shmem_unuse() just raise a "stop_eviction" count in the shmem-
specific inode, and shmem_evict_inode() wait for that to go down to 0.
Call it "stop_eviction" rather than "swapoff_busy" because it can be put
to use for others later (huge tmpfs patches expect to use it).
That simplifies shmem_unuse(), protecting it from both unlink and
unmount; and in practice lets it locate all the swap in its first try.
But do not rely on that: there's still a theoretical case, when
shmem_writepage() might have been preempted after its get_swap_page(),
before making the swap entry visible to swapoff.

The old try_to_unuse() implementation was driven by find_next_to_unuse(),
which terminated as soon as all the swap had been freed.
Add inuse_pages checks now (alongside signal_pending()) to stop scanning
mms and swap_map once finished.
The same ought to be done in shmem_unuse() too, but never was before,
and needs a different interface: so leave it as is for now.

SWAP_UNUSE_MAX_TRIES 3 appeared to work well in earlier testing, but
further testing has proved it to be a source of unnecessary swapoff
EBUSY failures (which can then be followed by unmount EBUSY failures).
When mmget_not_zero() or shmem's igrab() fails, there is an mm exiting
or inode being evicted, freeing up swap independent of try_to_unuse().
Those typically completed much sooner than the old quadratic swapoff,
but now it's more common that swapoff may need to wait for them.
It's possible to move those cases from init_mm.mmlist and shmem_swaplist
to separate "exiting" swaplists, and try_to_unuse() then wait for those
lists to be emptied; but we've not bothered with that in the past, and
don't want to risk missing some other forgotten case. So just revert to
cycling around until the swap is gone, without any retries limit.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);
instance = kvzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kvzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
Notice that, in this case, variable size is not necessary, hence it is
removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

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 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.

KSM pages may be mapped to the multiple VMAs that cannot be reached from
one anon_vma. So during swapin, a new copy of the page need to be
generated if a different anon_vma is needed, please refer to comments of
ksm_might_need_to_copy() for details.
During swapoff, unuse_vma() uses anon_vma (if available) to locate VMA and
virtual address mapped to the page, so not all mappings to a swapped out
KSM page could be found. So in try_to_unuse(), even if the swap count of
a swap entry isn't zero, the page needs to be deleted from swap cache, so
that, in the next round a new page could be allocated and swapin for the
other mappings of the swapped out KSM page.
But this contradicts with the THP swap support. Where the THP could be
deleted from swap cache only after the swap count of every swap entry in
the huge swap cluster backing the THP has reach 0. So try_to_unuse() is
changed in commit e07098294a ("mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap
space for THP swapped out") to check that before delete a page from swap
cache, but this has broken KSM swapoff too.
Fortunately, KSM is for the normal pages only, so the original behavior
for KSM pages could be restored easily via checking PageTransCompound().
That is how this patch works.
The bug is introduced by e07098294a ("mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim
swap space for THP swapped out"), which is merged by v4.14-rc1. So I
think we should backport the fix to from 4.14 on. But Hugh thinks it may
be rare for the KSM pages being in the swap device when swapoff, so nobody
reports the bug so far.

Since a2468cc9bf ("swap: choose swap device according to numa node"),
avail_lists field of swap_info_struct is changed to an array with
MAX_NUMNODES elements. This made swap_info_struct size increased to 40KiB
and needs an order-4 page to hold it.
This is not optimal in that:
1 Most systems have way less than MAX_NUMNODES(1024) nodes so it
is a waste of memory;
2 It could cause swapon failure if the swap device is swapped on
after system has been running for a while, due to no order-4
page is available as pointed out by Vasily Averin.
Solve the above two issues by using nr_node_ids(which is the actual
possible node number the running system has) for avail_lists instead of
MAX_NUMNODES.
nr_node_ids is unknown at compile time so can't be directly used when
declaring this array. What I did here is to declare avail_lists as zero
element array and allocate space for it when allocating space for
swap_info_struct. The reason why keep using array but not pointer is
plist_for_each_entry needs the field to be part of the struct, so pointer
will not work.
This patch is on top of Vasily Averin's fix commit. I think the use of
kvzalloc for swap_info_struct is still needed in case nr_node_ids is
really big on some systems.

Btrfs currently does not support swap files because swap's use of bmap
does not work with copy-on-write and multiple devices. See 35054394c4
("Btrfs: stop providing a bmap operation to avoid swapfile corruptions").
However, the swap code has a mechanism for the filesystem to manually add
swap extents using add_swap_extent() from the ->swap_activate() aop.
iomap has done this since 67482129cd ("iomap: add a swapfile activation
function"). Btrfs will do the same in a later patch, so export
add_swap_extent().

The SWP_FILE flag serves two purposes: to make swap_{read,write}page() go
through the filesystem, and to make swapoff() call ->swap_deactivate().
For Btrfs, we want the latter but not the former, so split this flag into
two. This makes us always call ->swap_deactivate() if ->swap_activate()
succeeded, not just if it didn't add any swap extents itself.
This also resolves the issue of the very misleading name of SWP_FILE,
which is only used for swap files over NFS.

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.

The part of __swap_entry_free() with lock held is separated into a new
function __swap_entry_free_locked(). Because we want to reuse that
piece of code in some other places.
Just mechanical code refactoring, there is no any functional change in
this function.

As suggested by Matthew Wilcox, it is better to use "int entry_size"
instead of "bool cluster" as parameter to specify whether to operate for
huge or normal swap entries. Because this improve the flexibility to
support other swap entry size. And Dave Hansen thinks that this
improves code readability too.
So in this patch, the "bool cluster" parameter of get_swap_pages() is
replaced by "int entry_size".
And nr_swap_entries() trick is used to reduce the binary size when
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGE.

In swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(), to identify whether there's any page
table mapping for a 4k sized swap entry, "si->swap_map[i] !=
SWAP_HAS_CACHE" is used. This works correctly now, because all users of
the function will only call it after checking SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But as
pointed out by Daniel, it is better to use "swap_count(map[i])" here,
because it works for "map[i] == 0" case too.
And this makes the implementation more consistent between normal and
huge swap entry.

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`,

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.

Patch series "swap: THP optimizing refactoring", v4.
Now the THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap optimizing is implemented in the
way like below,
#ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP
huge_function(...)
{
}
#else
normal_function(...)
{
}
#endif
general_function(...)
{
if (huge)
return thp_function(...);
else
return normal_function(...);
}
As pointed out by Dave Hansen, this will,
1. Create a new, wholly untested code path for huge page
2. Create two places to patch bugs
3. Are not reusing code when possible
This patchset is to address these problems via merging huge/normal code
path/functions if possible.
One concern is that this may cause code size to dilate when
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. The data shows that most refactoring will
only cause quite slight code size increase.
This patch (of 8):
To improve code readability.

Memory allocations can induce swapping via kswapd or direct reclaim. If
we are having IO done for us by kswapd and don't actually go into direct
reclaim we may never get scheduled for throttling. So instead check to
see if our cgroup is congested, and if so schedule the throttling.
Before we return to user space the throttling stuff will only throttle
if we actually required it.

For the L1TF workaround its necessary to limit the swap file size to below
MAX_PA/2, so that the higher bits of the swap offset inverted never point
to valid memory.
Add a mechanism for the architecture to override the swap file size check
in swapfile.c and add a x86 specific max swapfile check function that
enforces that limit.
The check is only enabled if the CPU is vulnerable to L1TF.
In VMs with 42bit MAX_PA the typical limit is 2TB now, on a native system
with 46bit PA it is 32TB. The limit is only per individual swap file, so
it's always possible to exceed these limits with multiple swap files or
partitions.

Calling swapon() on a zero length swap file on SSD can lead to a
divide-by-zero.
Although creating such files isn't possible with mkswap and they woud be
considered invalid, it would be better for the swapon code to be more
robust and handle this condition gracefully (return -EINVAL).
Especially since the fix is small and straightforward.
To help with wear leveling on SSD, the swapon syscall calculates a
random position in the swap file using modulo p->highest_bit, which is
set to maxpages - 1 in read_swap_header.
If the swap file is zero length, read_swap_header sets maxpages=1 and
last_page=0, resulting in p->highest_bit=0 and we divide-by-zero when we
modulo p->highest_bit in swapon syscall.
This can be prevented by having read_swap_header return zero if
last_page is zero.

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same

For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

When SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO swapped-in pages are shared by several
processes, it can cause unnecessary memory wastage by skipping swap
cache. Because, with swapin fault by read, they could share a page if
the page were in swap cache. Thus, it avoids allocating same content
new pages.
This patch makes the swapcache skipping work only if the swap pte is
non-sharable.

With fast swap storage, the platforms want to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.
The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4
decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be
bigger in nvdimm.
This patch aims to reduce swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the
swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device. It
enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead, from
2.41sec to 1.64sec).

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.

If initializing a small swap file fails because the swap file has a
problem (holes, etc.) then we need to free the cluster info as part of
cleanup. Unfortunately a previous patch changed the code to use kvzalloc
but did not change all the vfree calls to use kvfree.

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

VMA based swap readahead will readahead the virtual pages that is
continuous in the virtual address space. While the original swap
readahead will readahead the swap slots that is continuous in the swap
device. Although VMA based swap readahead is more correct for the swap
slots to be readahead, it will trigger more small random readings, which
may cause the performance of HDD (hard disk) to degrade heavily, and may
finally exceed the benefit.
To avoid the issue, in this patch, if the HDD is used as swap, the VMA
based swap readahead will be disabled, and the original swap readahead
will be used instead.

After adding swapping out support for THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that a THP in swap cache (partly swapped out) need to be split.
To split such a THP, the swap cluster backing the THP need to be split
too, that is, the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE flag need to be cleared for the swap
cluster. The patch implemented this.
And because the THP swap writing needs the THP keeps as huge page during
writing. The PageWriteback flag is checked before splitting.

After supporting to delay THP (Transparent Huge Page) splitting after
swapped out, it is possible that some page table mappings of the THP are
turned into swap entries. So reuse_swap_page() need to check the swap
count in addition to the map count as before. This patch done that.
In the huge PMD write protect fault handler, in addition to the page map
count, the swap count need to be checked too, so the page lock need to
be acquired too when calling reuse_swap_page() in addition to the page

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.

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.

For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of
context switch. block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves
performance and latency a lot. swapin is a good place to use this
technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue
execution.
In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is
about 60% better than that without poll. With iopoll support in swapin
patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about
10%~25% faster. CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x
CPU utilization. This will depend on disk speed.
While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win
for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk. block layer
has knob to control poll in runtime. If poll isn't enabled in block
layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin.
I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media.
In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread
test and ~20% in 8 threads test. So this is the base line. In above
swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test.
blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though.
If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop
but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll. Also we can
adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is
reduced further. In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though. The
performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is
similar too. There is lock contention in swap path. The cpu time
spending on blkpoll isn't high. So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse
than that without it.
The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and
form a big IO request. Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't
make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page
swapin.

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

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.

Now, get_swap_page takes struct page and allocates swap space according
to page size(ie, normal or THP) so it would be more cleaner to introduce
put_swap_page which is a counter function of get_swap_page. Then, it
calls right swap slot free function depending on page's size.

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.

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.

In swapcache_free_entries(), if swap_info_get_cont() returns NULL,
something wrong occurs for the swap entry. But we should still continue
to free the following swap entries in the array instead of skip them to
avoid swap space leak. This is just problem in error path, where system
may be in an inconsistent state, but it is still good to fix it.

Cluster lock is used to protect the swap_cluster_info and corresponding
elements in swap_info_struct->swap_map[]. But it is found that now in
scan_swap_map_slots(), swap_avail_lock may be acquired when cluster lock
is held. This does no good except making the locking more complex and
improving the potential locking contention, because the
swap_info_struct->lock is used to protect the data structure operated in
the code already. Fix this via moving the corresponding operations in
scan_swap_map_slots() out of cluster lock.

This is just a cleanup patch, no functionality change.
In cluster_list_add_tail(), spin_lock_nested() is used to lock the
cluster, while unlock_cluster() is used to unlock the cluster. To
improve the code readability, use spin_unlock() directly to unlock the
cluster.

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.

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.
