47d4f3eeef mm/thp: shrink_page_list() avoid splitting VM_LOCKED THP 
4.8 commit 7751b2da6b ("vmscan: split file huge pages before paging
them out") inserted a split_huge_page_to_list() into shrink_page_list()
without considering the mlock case: no problem if the page has already
been marked as Mlocked (the !page_evictable check much higher up will
have skipped all this), but it has always been the case that races or
omissions in setting Mlocked can rely on page reclaim to detect this
and correct it before actually reclaiming - and that remains so, but
what a shame if a hugepage is needlessly split before discovering it.

It is surprising that page_check_references() returns PAGEREF_RECLAIM
when VM_LOCKED, but there was a good reason for that: try_to_unmap_one()
is where the condition is detected and corrected; and until now it could
not be done in page_referenced_one(), because that does not always have
the page locked.  Now that mlock's requirement for page lock has gone,
copy try_to_unmap_one()'s mlock restoration into page_referenced_one(),
and let page_check_references() return PAGEREF_ACTIVATE in this case.

But page_referenced_one() may find a pte mapping one part of a hugepage:
what hold should a pte mapped in a VM_LOCKED area exert over the entire
huge page?  That's debatable.  The approach taken here is to treat that
pte mapping in page_referenced_one() as if not VM_LOCKED, and if no
VM_LOCKED pmd mapping is found later in the walk, and lack of reference
permits, then PAGEREF_RECLAIM take it to attempted splitting as before.

b485c6f1f9 mm: vmscan: remove deadlock due to throttling failing to make progress 
A soft lockup bug in kcompactd was reported in a private bugzilla with
the following visible in dmesg;

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 26s! [kcompactd0:479]
  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 52s! [kcompactd0:479]
  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 78s! [kcompactd0:479]
  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 104s! [kcompactd0:479]

The machine had 256G of RAM with no swap and an earlier failed
allocation indicated that node 0 where kcompactd was run was potentially
unreclaimable;

  Node 0 active_anon:29355112kB inactive_anon:2913528kB active_file:0kB

    kernel_stack:2272kB pagetables:24500kB all_unreclaimable? yes

Vlastimil Babka investigated a crash dump and found that a task
migrating pages was trying to drain PCP lists;

  PID: 52922  TASK: ffff969f820e5000  CPU: 19  COMMAND: "kworker/u128:3"
  Call Trace:

     cpuset_migrate_mm_workfn
     process_one_work
     worker_thread
     kthread
     ret_from_fork

This failure is specific to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds.  The root of the
problem is that kcompact0 is not rescheduling on a CPU while a task that
has isolated a large number of the pages from the LRU is waiting on
kcompact0 to reschedule so the pages can be released.  While
shrink_inactive_list() only loops once around too_many_isolated, reclaim
can continue without rescheduling if sc->skipped_deactivate == 1 which
could happen if there was no file LRU and the inactive anon list was not
low.

8008293888 mm: vmscan: reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress -fix 
Hugh Dickins reported the following

	My tmpfs swapping load (tweaked to use huge pages more heavily
	than in real life) is far from being a realistic load: but it was
	notably slowed down by your throttling mods in 5.16-rc, and this
	patch makes it well again - thanks.

	But: it very quickly hit NULL pointer until I changed that last
	line to

        if (first_pgdat)
                consider_reclaim_throttle(first_pgdat, sc);

The likely issue is that huge pages are a major component of the test
workload.  When this is the case, first_pgdat may never get set if
compaction is ready to continue due to this check

        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION) &&
            sc->order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER &&
            compaction_ready(zone, sc)) {
                sc->compaction_ready = true;
                continue;
        }

If this was true for every zone in the zonelist, first_pgdat would never
get set resulting in a NULL pointer exception.

1b4e3f26f9 mm: vmscan: Reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress 
Mike Galbraith, Alexey Avramov and Darrick Wong all reported similar
problems due to reclaim throttling for excessive lengths of time.  In
Alexey's case, a memory hog that should go OOM quickly stalls for
several minutes before stalling.  In Mike and Darrick's cases, a small
memcg environment stalled excessively even though the system had enough
memory overall.

Commit 69392a403f ("mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is
being made") introduced the problem although commit a19594ca4a
("mm/vmscan: increase the timeout if page reclaim is not making
progress") made it worse.  Systems at or near an OOM state that cannot
be recovered must reach OOM quickly and memcg should kill tasks if a
memcg is near OOM.

To address this, only stall for the first zone in the zonelist, reduce
the timeout to 1 tick for VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS and only stall if
the scan control nr_reclaimed is 0, kswapd is still active and there
were excessive pages pending for writeback.  If kswapd has stopped
reclaiming due to excessive failures, do not stall at all so that OOM
triggers relatively quickly.  Similarly, if an LRU is simply congested,
only lightly throttle similar to NOPROGRESS.

Alexey's original case was the most straight forward

	for i in {1..3}; do tail /dev/zero; done

On vanilla 5.16-rc1, this test stalled heavily, after the patch the test
completes in a few seconds similar to 5.15.

Alexey's second test case added watching a youtube video while tail runs
10 times.  On 5.15, playback only jitters slightly, 5.16-rc1 stalls a
lot with lots of frames missing and numerous audio glitches.  With this
patch applies, the video plays similarly to 5.15.

51b8c1fe25 vfs: keep inodes with page cache off the inode shrinker LRU 
Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty
inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache.  This caused
problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones
before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones.

To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to
facilitate reclaiming lowmem.  However, this comes with its own set of
problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because
the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large
git tree.  It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings
and can cause priority inversions between containers.

Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache
pages in order to detect refaults.  We've come to rely heavily on this
data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap
behavior.  We also use it to quantify and report workload health through
psi.  The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as
driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive
reclaim and memory offloading schemes.

The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing
subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned
scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing
states while losing the ability to reliably detect it.

To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating
inodes on the LRU isn't feasible.  We've tried (commit a76cf1a474
("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed
(commit 69056ee6a8 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages"")).

The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their
size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as
deferred reclaim work.  This accumulates excessive pressure on the
remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or
dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty
of cold, clean cache around still.

Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the
first place - just like an open file or dirty state would.  An otherwise
clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry
disappears.  This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim
issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through
potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes.

Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state
(i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the
irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock).  Page cache deletions are
serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure
depopulated inodes are queued reliably.  Additions may race with
deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker.  If additions race
with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode()
or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or
I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it
will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the
other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.

All the throttling hit the full timeout and then there was wakeup delays
meaning that the wakeups are premature as no other reclaimer such as
kswapd has made progress.  This patch increases the maximum timeout.

a timeout value.  The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were
probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else.
This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on
the reason for reclaim throttling.  These figures are also pulled out of
the same thin air but better values may be derived

Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and
tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate
value.  Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as
excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout.
Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur
before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

69392a403f mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is being made 
Memcg reclaim throttles on congestion if no reclaim progress is made.
This makes little sense, it might be due to writeback or a host of other
factors.

For !memcg reclaim, it's messy.  Direct reclaim primarily is throttled
in the page allocator if it is failing to make progress.  Kswapd
throttles if too many pages are under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim.

This patch explicitly throttles if reclaim is failing to make progress.

d818fca1ca mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim and compaction when too may pages are isolated 
Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim
instances have isolated too many pages.  This makes no sense, excessive
parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion.

This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many
pages are isolated.  The throttled tasks are woken when the number of
isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs.  There may be some false
positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will
throttle again if necessary.

8cd7c588de mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested 
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.

This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested.  It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].

Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea.  While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).

This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.

 - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
   enough pages get cleaned

 - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
   either reclaimed or put back on the LRU

 - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
   another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.

This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work.  A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem.  Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.

stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase.  It has
four types of worker.

 - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
   times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time

 - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
   size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
   to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
   accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
   linear write speed of the storage.

 - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files

 - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory

 - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory

X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4

The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.

The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages.  The results below are based on having zero
readers.

The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.

The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.

Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results.  The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU.  There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim.  The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers.  Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.

It is expected that this will be very machine dependant.  Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not.  The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger.  The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable.  For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different.  The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity.  Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.

The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different.  Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes.  The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

  Ops Percentage direct scans               90.59          77.37

For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the
patches, 77.37% were direct reclaim due to throttling

  82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0

The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all.  What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

    778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000

congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.

Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

------------

Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry.  For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were

   6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
  93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
  96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward.  A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

Most did not stall at all.  A small number reached the timeout.

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all.  The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.

While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all.  This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.

Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls.  There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage.  A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.

This patch (of 5):

Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:

 - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
   reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
   pages can be cleaned.

 - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
   inodes.

wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started.  If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early.  If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

32d4f4b782 mm,vmscan: fix divide by zero in get_scan_count 
Commit f56ce412a5 ("mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to
proportional memory.low reclaim") introduced a divide by zero corner
case when oomd is being used in combination with cgroup memory.low
protection.

When oomd decides to kill a cgroup, it will force the cgroup memory to
be reclaimed after killing the tasks, by writing to the memory.max file
for that cgroup, forcing the remaining page cache and reclaimable slab
to be reclaimed down to zero.

Previously, on cgroups with some memory.low protection that would result
in the memory being reclaimed down to the memory.low limit, or likely
not at all, having the page cache reclaimed asynchronously later.

With f56ce412a5 the oomd write to memory.max tries to reclaim all the
way down to zero, which may race with another reclaimer, to the point of
ending up with the divide by zero below.

This patch implements the obvious fix.

1399af7e54 mm, vmscan: guarantee drop_slab_node() termination 
drop_slab_node() is called as part of echo 2>/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
operation.  It iterates over all memcgs and calls shrink_slab() which in
turn iterates over all slab shrinkers.  Freed objects are counted and as
long as the total number of freed objects from all memcgs and shrinkers is
higher than 10, drop_slab_node() loops for another full memcgs*shrinkers
iteration.

This arbitrary constant threshold of 10 can result in effectively an
infinite loop on a system with large number of memcgs and/or parallel
activity that allocates new objects.  This has been reported previously by
Chunxin Zang [1] and recently by our customer.

The previous report [1] has resulted in commit 069c411de4 ("mm/vmscan:
fix infinite loop in drop_slab_node") which added a check for signals
allowing the user to terminate the command writing to drop_caches.  At the
time it was also considered to make the threshold grow with each iteration
to guarantee termination, but such patch hasn't been formally proposed
yet.

This patch implements the dynamically growing threshold.  At first
iteration it's enough to free one object to continue, and this threshold
effectively doubles with each iteration.  Our customer's feedback was
positive.

There is always a risk that this change will result on some system in a
previously terminating drop_caches operation to terminate sooner and free
fewer objects.  Ideally the semantics would guarantee freeing all freeable
objects that existed at the moment of starting the operation, while not
looping forever for newly allocated objects, but that's not feasible to
track.  In the less ideal solution based on thresholds, arguably the
termination guarantee is more important than the exhaustiveness guarantee.
If there are reports of large regression wrt being exhaustive, we can
tune how fast the threshold grows.

d17be2d9ff mm/vmscan: remove the PageDirty check after MADV_FREE pages are page_ref_freezed 
Patch series "Cleanups for vmscan", v2.

This series contains cleanups to remove unneeded return value, misleading
setting and so on.  Also this remove the PageDirty check after MADV_FREE
pages are page_ref_freezed.  More details can be found in the respective
changelogs.

This patch (of 4):

If the MADV_FREE pages are redirtied before they could be reclaimed, put
the pages back to anonymous LRU list by setting SwapBacked flag and the
pages will be reclaimed in normal swapout way.  But as Yu Zhao pointed
out, "The page has only one reference left, which is from the isolation.
After the caller puts the page back on lru and drops the reference, the
page will be freed anyway.  It doesn't matter which lru it goes." So we
don't bother checking PageDirty here.

[Yu Zhao's comment is also quoted in the code.]

20b51af15e mm/migrate: add sysfs interface to enable reclaim migration 
Some method is obviously needed to enable reclaim-based migration.

Just like traditional autonuma, there will be some workloads that will
benefit like workloads with more "static" configurations where hot pages
stay hot and cold pages stay cold.  If pages come and go from the hot and
cold sets, the benefits of this approach will be more limited.

The benefits are truly workload-based and *not* hardware-based.  We do not
believe that there is a viable threshold where certain hardware
configurations should have this mechanism enabled while others do not.

To be conservative, earlier work defaulted to disable reclaim- based
migration and did not include a mechanism to enable it.  This proposes add
a new sysfs file

  /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled

as a method to enable it.

We are open to any alternative that allows end users to enable this
mechanism or disable it if workload harm is detected (just like
traditional autonuma).

Once this is enabled page demotion may move data to a NUMA node that does
not fall into the cpuset of the allocating process.  This could be
construed to violate the guarantees of cpusets.  However, since this is an
opt-in mechanism, the assumption is that anyone enabling it is content to
relax the guarantees.

3a235693d3 mm/vmscan: never demote for memcg reclaim 
Global reclaim aims to reduce the amount of memory used on a given node or
set of nodes.  Migrating pages to another node serves this purpose.

memcg reclaim is different.  Its goal is to reduce the total memory
consumption of the entire memcg, across all nodes.  Migration does not
assist memcg reclaim because it just moves page contents between nodes
rather than actually reducing memory consumption.

a2a36488a6 mm/vmscan: Consider anonymous pages without swap 
Reclaim anonymous pages if a migration path is available now that demotion
provides a non-swap recourse for reclaiming anon pages.

Note that this check is subtly different from the can_age_anon_pages()
checks.  This mechanism checks whether a specific page in a specific
context can actually be reclaimed, given current swap space and cgroup
limits.

can_age_anon_pages() is a much simpler and more preliminary check which
just says whether there is a possibility of future reclaim.

2f368a9fb7 mm/vmscan: add helper for querying ability to age anonymous pages 
Anonymous pages are kept on their own LRU(s).  These lists could
theoretically always be scanned and maintained.  But, without swap, there
is currently nothing the kernel can *do* with the results of a scanned,
sorted LRU for anonymous pages.

A check for '!total_swap_pages' currently serves as a valid check as to
whether anonymous LRUs should be maintained.  However, another method will
be added shortly: page demotion.

Abstract out the 'total_swap_pages' checks into a helper, give it a
logically significant name, and check for the possibility of page
demotion.

26aa2d199d mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim 
This is mostly derived from a patch from Yang Shi:

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1560468577-101178-10-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/

Add code to the reclaim path (shrink_page_list()) to "demote" data to
another NUMA node instead of discarding the data.  This always avoids the
cost of I/O needed to read the page back in and sometimes avoids the
writeout cost when the page is dirty.

A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail.  This essentially falls back to normal reclaim behavior in the case
that demotions fail.  Previous versions of this patch may have simply
failed to reclaim pages which were eligible for demotion but were unable
to be demoted in practice.

For some cases, for example, MADV_PAGEOUT, the pages are always discarded
instead of demoted to follow the kernel API definition.  Because
MADV_PAGEOUT is defined as freeing specified pages regardless in which
tier they are.

Note: This just adds the start of infrastructure for migration.  It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().

aa48e47e39 memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats 
At the moment memcg stats are read in four contexts:

1. memcg stat user interfaces
2. dirty throttling
3. page fault
4. memory reclaim

Currently the kernel flushes the stats for first two cases.  Flushing the
stats for remaining two casese may have performance impact.  Always
flushing the memcg stats on the page fault code path may negatively
impacts the performance of the applications.  In addition flushing in the
memory reclaim code path, though treated as slowpath, can become the
source of contention for the global lock taken for stat flushing because
when system or memcg is under memory pressure, many tasks may enter the
reclaim path.

This patch uses following mechanisms to solve these challenges:

1. Periodically flush the stats from root memcg every 2 seconds.  This
   will time limit the out of sync stats.

2. Asynchronously flush the stats after fixed number of stat updates.
   In the worst case the stat can be out of sync by O(nr_cpus * BATCH) for
   2 seconds.

3. For avoiding thundering herd to flush the stats particularly from
   the memory reclaim context, introduce memcg local spinlock and let only
   one flusher active at a time.  This could have been done through
   cgroup_rstat_lock lock but that lock is used by other subsystem and for
   userspace reading memcg stats.  So, it is better to keep flushers
   introduced by this patch decoupled from cgroup_rstat_lock.  However we
   would have to use irqsafe version of rstat flush but that is fine as
   this code path will be flushing for whole tree and do the work for
   everyone.  No one will be waiting for that worker.

3047250972 mm: remove irqsave/restore locking from contexts with irqs enabled 
The page cache deletion paths all have interrupts enabled, so no need to
use irqsafe/irqrestore locking variants.

They used to have irqs disabled by the memcg lock added in commit
c4843a7593 ("memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accounting"), but that has
since been replaced by memcg taking the page lock instead, commit
0a31bc97c8 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge AP").

4f3eaf452a mm: report a more useful address for reclaim acquisition 
A recent lockdep report included these lines:

[   96.177910] 3 locks held by containerd/770:
[   96.177934]  #0: ffff88810815ea28 (&mm->mmap_lock#2){++++}-{3:3},

While it was not useful to that bug report to know where the reclaim lock
had been acquired, it might be useful under other circumstances.  Allow
the caller of __fs_reclaim_acquire to specify the instruction pointer to
use.

880121be11 mm/vmscan: add sync_shrinkers function v3 
While unplugging a device the TTM shrinker implementation
needs a barrier to make sure that all concurrent shrink
operations are done and no other CPU is referring to a
device specific pool any more.

Taking and releasing the shrinker semaphore on the write
side after unmapping and freeing all pages from the device
pool should make sure that no shrinker is running in
paralell.

This allows us to avoid the contented mutex in the TTM pool
implementation for every alloc/free operation.

v2: rework the commit message to make clear why we need this
v3: rename the function and add more doc as suggested by Daniel

57f29762cd mm: vmscan: fix missing psi annotation for node_reclaim() 
In a debugging session the other day, Rik noticed that node_reclaim()
was missing memstall annotations.  This means we'll miss pressure and
lost productivity resulting from reclaim on an overloaded local NUMA
node when vm.zone_reclaim_mode is enabled.

There haven't been any reports, but that's likely because
vm.zone_reclaim_mode hasn't been a commonly used feature recently, and
the intersection between such setups and psi users is probably nil.

But secondary memory such as CXL-connected DIMMS, persistent memory etc,
and the page demotion patches that handle them
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210401183216.443C4443@viggo.jf.intel.com/)
could soon make this a more common codepath again.

f56ce412a5 mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to proportional memory.low reclaim 
We've noticed occasional OOM killing when memory.low settings are in
effect for cgroups.  This is unexpected and undesirable as memory.low is
supposed to express non-OOMing memory priorities between cgroups.

The reason for this is proportional memory.low reclaim.  When cgroups
are below their memory.low threshold, reclaim passes them over in the
first round, and then retries if it couldn't find pages anywhere else.
But when cgroups are slightly above their memory.low setting, page scan
force is scaled down and diminished in proportion to the overage, to the
point where it can cause reclaim to fail as well - only in that case we
currently don't retry, and instead trigger OOM.

To fix this, hook proportional reclaim into the same retry logic we have
in place for when cgroups are skipped entirely.  This way if reclaim
fails and some cgroups were scanned with diminished pressure, we'll try
another full-force cycle before giving up and OOMing.

f611fab710 mm/vmscan: remove kerneldoc-like comment from isolate_lru_pages 
Patch series "Clean W=1 build warnings for mm/".

This is a janitorial only.  During development of a tool to catch build
warnings early to avoid tripping the Intel lkp-robot, I noticed that mm/
is not clean for W=1.  This is generally harmless but there is no harm in
cleaning it up.  It disrupts git blame a little but on relatively obvious
lines that are unlikely to be git blame targets.

This patch (of 13):

make W=1 generates the following warning for vmscan.c

    mm/vmscan.c:1814: warning: This comment starts with '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment. Refer Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst

It is not a kerneldoc comment and isolate_lru_pages() is a static
function.  While the detailed comment is nice, it does not need to be
exposed via kernel-doc.

1fb08ac63b mm: rmap: make try_to_unmap() void function 
Currently try_to_unmap() return bool value by checking page_mapcount(),
however this may return false positive since page_mapcount() doesn't check
all subpages of compound page.  The total_mapcount() could be used
instead, but its cost is higher since it traverses all subpages.

Actually the most callers of try_to_unmap() don't care about the return
value at all.  So just need check if page is still mapped by page_mapped()
when necessary.  And page_mapped() does bail out early when it finds
mapped subpage.

2d2b8d2b67 mm/vmscan.c: fix potential deadlock in reclaim_pages() 
Theoretically without the protect from memalloc_noreclaim_save() and
memalloc_noreclaim_restore(), reclaim_pages() can go into the block
I/O layer recursively and deadlock.

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

The noinline_for_stack is introduced by commit 666356297e ("vmscan: set
up pagevec as late as possible in shrink_inactive_list()"), its purpose is
to delay the allocation of pagevec as late as possible to save stack
memory.  But the commit 2bcf887963 ("mm: take pagevecs off reclaim
stack") replace pagevecs by lists of pages_to_free.  So we do not need
noinline_for_stack, just remove it (let the compiler decide whether to
inline).
