f82e6bf9bb mm: memcg: use rstat for non-hierarchical stats
Currently, memcg uses rstat to maintain aggregated hierarchical stats. 
Counters are maintained for hierarchical stats at each memcg.  Rstat
tracks which cgroups have updates on which cpus to keep those counters
fresh on the read-side.

Non-hierarchical stats are currently not covered by rstat.  Their per-cpu
counters are summed up on every read, which is expensive.  The original
implementation did the same.  At some point before rstat, non-hierarchical
aggregated counters were introduced by commit a983b5ebee ("mm:
memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting").  However,
those counters were updated on the performance critical write-side, which
caused regressions, so they were later removed by commit 815744d751
("mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events").  See
[1] for more detailed history.

Kernel versions in between a983b5ebee & 815744d751 (a year and a half)
enjoyed cheap reads of non-hierarchical stats, specifically on cgroup v1. 
When moving to more recent kernels, a performance regression for reading
non-hierarchical stats is observed.

Now that we have rstat, we know exactly which percpu counters have updates
for each stat.  We can maintain non-hierarchical counters again, making
reads much more efficient, without affecting the performance critical
write-side.  Hence, add non-hierarchical (i.e local) counters for the
stats, and extend rstat flushing to keep those up-to-date.

A caveat is that we now need a stats flush before reading
local/non-hierarchical stats through {memcg/lruvec}_page_state_local() or
memcg_events_local(), where we previously only needed a flush to read
hierarchical stats.  Most contexts reading non-hierarchical stats are
already doing a flush, add a flush to the only missing context in
count_shadow_nodes().

With this patch, reading memory.stat from 1000 memcgs is 3x faster on a
machine with 256 cpus on cgroup v1:

 # for i in $(seq 1000); do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg$i; done
 # time cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg*/memory.stat > /dev/null
 real	 0m0.125s
 user	 0m0.005s
 sys	 0m0.120s

After:
 real	 0m0.032s
 user	 0m0.005s
 sys	 0m0.027s

To make sure there are no regressions on cgroup v2, I ran an artificial
reclaim/refault stress test [2] that creates (NR_CPUS * 2) cgroups,
assigns them limits, runs a worker process in each cgroup that allocates
tmpfs memory equal to quadruple the limit (to invoke reclaim
continuously), and then reads back the entire file (to invoke refaults). 
All workers are run in parallel, and zram is used as a swapping backend. 
Both reclaim and refault have conditional stats flushing.  I ran this on a
machine with 112 cpus, once on mm-unstable, and once on mm-unstable with
this patch reverted.

(1) A few runs without this patch:

 # time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
 real 0m9.949s
 user 0m0.496s
 sys 14m44.974s

 # time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
 real 0m10.049s
 user 0m0.486s
 sys 14m55.791s

 # time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
 real 0m9.984s
 user 0m0.481s
 sys 14m53.841s

(2) A few runs with this patch:

 # time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
 real 0m9.885s
 user 0m0.486s
 sys 14m48.753s

 # time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
 real 0m9.903s
 user 0m0.495s
 sys 14m48.339s

 # time ./stress_reclaim_refault.sh
 real 0m9.861s
 user 0m0.507s
 sys 14m49.317s

No regressions are observed with this patch. There is actually a very
slight improvement. If I have to guess, maybe it's because we avoid
the percpu loop in count_shadow_nodes() when calling
lruvec_page_state_local(), but I could not prove this using perf, it's
probably in the noise.

3af0191a59 Multi-gen LRU: fix workingset accounting
On Android app cycle workloads, MGLRU showed a significant reduction in
workingset refaults although pgpgin/pswpin remained relatively unchanged. 
This indicated MGLRU may be undercounting workingset refaults.

This has impact on userspace programs, like Android's LMKD, that monitor
workingset refault statistics to detect thrashing.

It was found that refaults were only accounted if the MGLRU shadow entry
was for a recently evicted folio.  However, recently evicted folios should
be accounted as workingset activation, and refaults should be accounted
regardless of recency.

Fix MGLRU's workingset refault and activation accounting to more closely
match that of the conventional active/inactive LRU.

ffcb5f5262 workingset: refactor LRU refault to expose refault recency check
Patch series "cachestat: a new syscall for page cache state of files",
v13.

There is currently no good way to query the page cache statistics of large
files and directory trees.  There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really does not care about per-page information in that
case.  The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.

Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
  * Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or direct
    table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the index.
  * Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
    diagnostic.
  * Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page cache
    (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for more
    frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and batching
    when there is not.
  * Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
    the du tool for disk usage.

More information about these use cases could be found in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/

This series of patches introduces a new system call, cachestat, that
summarizes the page cache statistics (number of cached pages, dirty pages,
pages marked for writeback, evicted pages etc.) of a file, in a specified
range of bytes.  It also include a selftest suite that tests some typical
usage.  Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86 architecture.

This interface is inspired by past discussion and concerns with fincore,
which has a similar design (and as a result, issues) as mincore.  Relevant
links:

https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04207.html
https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04209.html


I have also developed a small tool that computes the memory usage of files
and directories, analogous to the du utility.  User can choose between
mincore or cachestat (with cachestat exporting more information than
mincore).  To compare the performance of these two options, I benchmarked
the tool on the root directory of a Meta's server machine, each for five
runs:

Using cachestat
real -- Median: 33.377s, Average: 33.475s, Standard Deviation: 0.3602
user -- Median: 4.08s, Average: 4.1078s, Standard Deviation: 0.0742
sys -- Median: 28.823s, Average: 28.8866s, Standard Deviation: 0.2689

Using mincore:
real -- Median: 102.352s, Average: 102.3442s, Standard Deviation: 0.2059
user -- Median: 10.149s, Average: 10.1482s, Standard Deviation: 0.0162
sys -- Median: 91.186s, Average: 91.2084s, Standard Deviation: 0.2046

I also ran both syscalls on a 2TB sparse file:

Using cachestat:
real    0m0.009s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.009s

Using mincore:
real    0m37.510s
user    0m2.934s
sys     0m34.558s

Very large files like this are the pathological case for mincore.  In
fact, to compute the stats for a single 2TB file, mincore takes as long as
cachestat takes to compute the stats for the entire tree!  This could
easily happen inadvertently when we run it on subdirectories.  Mincore is
clearly not suitable for a general-purpose command line tool.

Regarding security concerns, cachestat() should not pose any additional
issues.  The caller already has read permission to the file itself (since
they need an fd to that file to call cachestat).  This means that the
caller can access the underlying data in its entirety, which is a much
greater source of information (and as a result, a much greater security
risk) than the cache status itself.

The latest API change (in v13 of the patch series) is suggested by Jens
Axboe.  It allows for 64-bit length argument, even on 32-bit architecture
(which is previously not possible due to the limit on the number of
syscall arguments).  Furthermore, it eliminates the need for compatibility
handling - every user can use the same ABI.


This patch (of 4):

In preparation for computing recently evicted pages in cachestat, refactor
workingset_refault and lru_gen_refault to expose a helper function that
would test if an evicted page is recently evicted.

4009b2f188 workingset: memcg: sleep when flushing stats in workingset_refault()
In workingset_refault(), we call
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited() to read accurate stats within
an RCU read section and with sleeping disallowed.  Move the call above the
RCU read section to make it non-atomic.

Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.

Since workingset_refault() is the only caller of
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(), just make it non-atomic, and
rename it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

9fad9aee1f memcg: sleep during flushing stats in safe contexts
Currently, all contexts that flush memcg stats do so with sleeping not
allowed.  Some of these contexts are perfectly safe to sleep in, such as
reading cgroup files from userspace or the background periodic flusher. 
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.

Refactor the code to make mem_cgroup_flush_stats() non-atomic (aka
sleepable), and provide a separate atomic version.  The atomic version is
used in reclaim, refault, writeback, and in mem_cgroup_usage().  All other
code paths are left to use the non-atomic version.  This includes
callbacks for userspace reads and the periodic flusher.

Since refault is the only caller of mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(),
change it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited().  Reclaim and
refault code paths are modified to do non-atomic flushing in separate
later patches -- so it will eventually be changed back to
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

5649d113ff swap_state: update shadow_nodes for anonymous page
Shadow_nodes is for shadow nodes reclaiming of workingset handling, it is
updated when page cache add or delete since long time ago workingset only
supported page cache.  But when workingset supports anonymous page
detection, we missied updating shadow nodes for it.  This caused that
shadow nodes of anonymous page will never be reclaimd by
scan_shadow_nodes() even they use much memory and system memory is tense.

So update shadow_nodes of anonymous page when swap cache is add or delete
by calling xas_set_update(..workingset_update_node).

f78dfc7b77 workingset: fix confusion around eviction vs refault container
Refault decisions are made based on the lruvec where the page was evicted,
as that determined its LRU order while it was alive.  Stats and workingset
aging must then occur on the lruvec of the new page, as that's the node
and cgroup that experience the refault and that's the lruvec whose
nonresident info ages out by a new resident page.  Those lruvecs could be
different when a page is shared between cgroups, or the refaulting page is
allocated on a different node.

There are currently two mix-ups:

1. When swap is available, the resident anon set must be considered
   when comparing the refault distance. The comparison is made against
   the right anon set, but the check for swap is not. When pages get
   evicted from a cgroup with swap, and refault in one without, this
   can incorrectly consider a hot refault as cold - and vice
   versa. Fix that by using the eviction cgroup for the swap check.

2. The stats and workingset age are updated against the wrong lruvec
   altogether: the right cgroup but the wrong NUMA node. When a page
   refaults on a different NUMA node, this will have confusing stats
   and distort the workingset age on a different lruvec - again
   possibly resulting in hot/cold misclassifications down the line.

Fix the swap check and the refault pgdat to address both concerns.

This was found during code review.  It hasn't caused notable issues in
production, suggesting that those refault-migrations are relatively rare
in practice.

391655fe08 mm: multi-gen LRU: rename lru_gen_struct to lru_gen_folio
Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3.

Overview
========

An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs.  It is also an LRU of LRUs,
since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see
mem_cgroup_lruvec()).

Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is
critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers.  Note that
memcg reclaim is currently out of scope.

Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each
pglist_data.  In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it
improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect
the worst-case complexity O(n).  Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear
complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity.

The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to
the active/inactive LRU (of folios):
1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts
   to the active and the inactive;
2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart
   to activation;
3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg
   triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation.

In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features:
1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in
   the old generation) and improves parallelism;
2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will
   and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time.

The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221222041905.2431096-7-yuzhao@google.com/

The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness.

  Test design:
  1. Create multiple memcgs.
  2. Each memcg contains a job (fio).
  3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly.
  4. The system does not experience global memory pressure.
  5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim.

  Desired outcome:
  1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal)
     over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%.
  2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through
     memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close
     to 100%.

  Actual outcome [1]:
                                     MGLRU off    MGLRU on
  stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal)    75%          20%
  sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested)      425%         95%

6e1ca48d06 folio-compat: remove lru_cache_add()
There are no longer any callers of lru_cache_add(), so remove it.  This
saves 79 bytes of kernel text.  Also cleanup some comments such that
they reference the new folio_add_lru() instead.

0538a82c39 mm: vmscan: make rotations a secondary factor in balancing anon vs file
We noticed a 2% webserver throughput regression after upgrading from 5.6. 
This could be tracked down to a shift in the anon/file reclaim balance
(confirmed with swappiness) that resulted in worse reclaim efficiency and
thus more kswapd activity for the same outcome.

The change that exposed the problem is aae466b005 ("mm/swap: implement
workingset detection for anonymous LRU").  By qualifying swapins based on
their refault distance, it lowered the cost of anon reclaim in this
workload, in turn causing (much) more anon scanning than before.  Scanning
the anon list is more expensive due to the higher ratio of mmapped pages
that may rotate during reclaim, and so the result was an increase in %sys
time.

Right now, rotations aren't considered a cost when balancing scan pressure
between LRUs.  We can end up with very few file refaults putting all the
scan pressure on hot anon pages that are rotated en masse, don't get
reclaimed, and never push back on the file LRU again.  We still only
reclaim file cache in that case, but we burn a lot CPU rotating anon
pages.  It's "fair" from an LRU age POV, but doesn't reflect the real cost
it imposes on the system.

Consider rotations as a secondary factor in balancing the LRUs.  This
doesn't attempt to make a precise comparison between IO cost and CPU cost,
it just says: if reloads are about comparable between the lists, or
rotations are overwhelmingly different, adjust for CPU work.

This fixed the regression on our webservers.  It has since been deployed
to the entire Meta fleet and hasn't caused any problems.

ac35a49023 mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation
To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied
to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and
"deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.

The aging produces young generations.  Given an lruvec, it increments
max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS.  The aging promotes
hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through
page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it
increments max_seq.  Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU
list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and
lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of
max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn().  The
aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in
hot pages.

The eviction consumes old generations.  Given an lruvec, it increments
min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty.
A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over
anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are
available from the same generation.

The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors
takes place in the eviction path.  Each generation is divided into
multiple tiers.  A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in
tier order_base_2(N).  Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only
bits in folio->flags.  The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors
refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers
(N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline.  The first tier
contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best
choices.  In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a
page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next
generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so.  This
approach has the following advantages:

1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by
   inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file
   descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the
   eviction path.
2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids
   overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file
   descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first
   tier, since N=0.)
3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than
   twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O
   workloads.

e33c267ab7 mm: shrinkers: provide shrinkers with names
Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects.  For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g.  for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.

This commit adds names to shrinkers.  register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.

In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated.  For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.

The expected format is:
    <subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id>
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.

After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:
  $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
  $ ls
    dquota-cache-16     sb-devpts-28     sb-proc-47       sb-tmpfs-42

9b3016154c memcg: sync flush only if periodic flush is delayed
Daniel Dao has reported [1] a regression on workloads that may trigger a
lot of refaults (anon and file).  The underlying issue is that flushing
rstat is expensive.  Although rstat flush are batched with (nr_cpus *
MEMCG_BATCH) stat updates, it seems like there are workloads which
genuinely do stat updates larger than batch value within short amount of
time.  Since the rstat flush can happen in the performance critical
codepaths like page faults, such workload can suffer greatly.

This patch fixes this regression by making the rstat flushing
conditional in the performance critical codepaths.  More specifically,
the kernel relies on the async periodic rstat flusher to flush the stats
and only if the periodic flusher is delayed by more than twice the
amount of its normal time window then the kernel allows rstat flushing
from the performance critical codepaths.

Now the question: what are the side-effects of this change? The worst
that can happen is the refault codepath will see 4sec old lruvec stats
and may cause false (or missed) activations of the refaulted page which
may under-or-overestimate the workingset size.  Though that is not very
concerning as the kernel can already miss or do false activations.

There are two more codepaths whose flushing behavior is not changed by
this patch and we may need to come to them in future.  One is the
writeback stats used by dirty throttling and second is the deactivation
heuristic in the reclaim.  For now keeping an eye on them and if there
is report of regression due to these codepaths, we will reevaluate then.

2386eef214 mm: workingset: replace IRQ-off check with a lockdep assert.
Commit 68d48e6a2d ("mm: workingset: add vmstat counter for shadow
nodes") introduced an IRQ-off check to ensure that a lock is held which
also disabled interrupts.  This does not work the same way on PREEMPT_RT
because none of the locks, that are held, disable interrupts.

Replace this check with a lockdep assert which ensures that the lock is
held.

xas_set_lru() to pass the list_lru which we want to insert xa_node into to
set up the xa_node reclaim context correctly.

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.

1f828223b7 memcg: flush lruvec stats in the refault
Prior to the commit 7e1c0d6f58 ("memcg: switch lruvec stats to rstat")
and the commit aa48e47e39 ("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg
stats"), each lruvec memcg stats can be off by (nr_cgroups * nr_cpus *
32) at worst and for unbounded amount of time.  The commit aa48e47e39
moved the lruvec stats to rstat infrastructure and the commit
7e1c0d6f58 bounded the error for all the lruvec stats to (nr_cpus *
32) at worst for at most 2 seconds.  More specifically it decoupled the
number of stats and the number of cgroups from the error rate.

However this reduction in error comes with the cost of triggering the
slowpath of stats update more frequently.  Previously in the slowpath
the kernel adds the stats up the memcg tree.  After aa48e47e39, the
kernel triggers the asyn lruvec stats flush through queue_work().  This
causes regression reports from 0day kernel bot [1] as well as from
phoronix test suite [2].

We tried two options to fix the regression:

 1) Increase the threshold to trigger the slowpath in lruvec stats
    update codepath from 32 to 512.

 2) Remove the slowpath from lruvec stats update codepath and instead
    flush the stats in the page refault codepath. The assumption is that
    the kernel timely flush the stats, so, the update tree would be
    small in the refault codepath to not cause the preformance impact.

Following are the results of will-it-scale/page_fault[1|2|3] benchmark
on four settings i.e.  (1) 5.15-rc1 as baseline (2) 5.15-rc1 with
aa48e47e39 and 7e1c0d6f58 reverted (3) 5.15-rc1 with option-1
(4) 5.15-rc1 with option-2.

  test       (1)      (2)               (3)               (4)
  pg_f1   368563   406277 (10.23%)   399693  (8.44%)   416398 (12.97%)
  pg_f2   338399   372133  (9.96%)   369180  (9.09%)   381024 (12.59%)
  pg_f3   500853   575399 (14.88%)   570388 (13.88%)   576083 (15.02%)

From the above result, it seems like the option-2 not only solves the
regression but also improves the performance for at least these
benchmarks.

Feng Tang (intel) ran the aim7 benchmark with these two options and
confirms that option-1 reduces the regression but option-2 removes the
regression.

Michael Larabel (phoronix) ran multiple benchmarks with these options
and reported the results at [3] and it shows for most benchmarks
option-2 removes the regression introduced by the commit aa48e47e39
("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats").

Based on the experiment results, this patch proposed the option-2 as the
solution to resolve the regression.

aeddcee6c1 mm: workingset: clarify eviction order and distance calculation
The premise of the refault distance is that it can be seen as a deficit of
the inactive list space, so that if the inactive list would have had (R -
E) more slots, the page would not have been evicted but promoted to the
active list instead.

However, the way the code is ordered right now set us to be off by one, so
the real number of slots would be (R - E) + 1.  I stumbled upon this when
trying to understand the code and it puzzled me that the comments did not
match what the code did.

This it not an issue at all since evictions and refaults tend to happen in
a number large enough that being off-by-one does not have any impact - and
since the compiler and CPUs are free to rearrange the execution sequence
anyway.

But as Johannes says, it is better to re-arrange the code in the proper
order since otherwise would be misleading to somebody who is actively
reading and trying to understand the logic of the code - like it happened
to me.

bcfe06bf26 mm: memcontrol: Use helpers to read page's memcg data
Patch series "mm: allow mapping accounted kernel pages to userspace", v6.

Currently a non-slab kernel page which has been charged to a memory cgroup
can't be mapped to userspace.  The underlying reason is simple: PageKmemcg
flag is defined as a page type (like buddy, offline, etc), so it takes a
bit from a page->mapped counter.  Pages with a type set can't be mapped to
userspace.

But in general the kmemcg flag has nothing to do with mapping to
userspace.  It only means that the page has been accounted by the page
allocator, so it has to be properly uncharged on release.

Some bpf maps are mapping the vmalloc-based memory to userspace, and their
memory can't be accounted because of this implementation detail.

This patchset removes this limitation by moving the PageKmemcg flag into
one of the free bits of the page->mem_cgroup pointer.  Also it formalizes
accesses to the page->mem_cgroup and page->obj_cgroups using new helpers,
adds several checks and removes a couple of obsolete functions.  As the
result the code became more robust with fewer open-coded bit tricks.

This patch (of 4):

Currently there are many open-coded reads of the page->mem_cgroup pointer,
as well as a couple of read helpers, which are barely used.

It creates an obstacle on a way to reuse some bits of the pointer for
storing additional bits of information.  In fact, we already do this for
slab pages, where the last bit indicates that a pointer has an attached
vector of objcg pointers instead of a regular memcg pointer.

This commits uses 2 existing helpers and introduces a new helper to
converts all read sides to calls of these helpers:
  struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg(struct page *page);
  struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_rcu(struct page *page);
  struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_check(struct page *page);

page_memcg_check() is intended to be used in cases when the page can be a
slab page and have a memcg pointer pointing at objcg vector.  It does
check the lowest bit, and if set, returns NULL.  page_memcg() contains a
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check for the page not being a slab page.

To make sure nobody uses a direct access, struct page's
mem_cgroup/obj_cgroups is converted to unsigned long memcg_data.

d42f3245c7 mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytes
In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.

To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).

Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes.  This scheme may look weird, but
only for now.  As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages.  However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.

The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

31d8fcac00 mm: workingset: age nonresident information alongside anonymous pages
Patch series "fix for "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative
thrashing" patchset"

This patchset fixes some problems of the patchset, "mm: balance LRU
lists based on relative thrashing", which is now merged on the mainline.

Patch "mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix" is the
result of discussion with Johannes.  See following link.

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200520232525.798933-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org

And, the other two are minor things which are found when I try to rebase
my patchset.

This patch (of 3):

After ("mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix"), we
compare refault distances to active_file + anon.  But age of the
non-resident information is only driven by the file LRU.  As a result,
we may overestimate the recency of any incoming refaults and activate
them too eagerly, causing unnecessary LRU churn in certain situations.

Make anon aging drive nonresident age as well to address that.

96f8bf4fb1 mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost
The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to
reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage.  It already
counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count
writepage calls during reclaim.

For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the
anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure.  From a relative
balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and
reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that
don't require IO to reclaim.

For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would
have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration.  But not all of it -
premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes.
Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing
cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that
wouldn't have happened without memory pressure.  In addition, the per-page
cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger
batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from
kswapd.

For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a
stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently
accurate.  If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can
still refine the measurements.

Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the
page belongs to.

Why do this dynamically?  Don't we know in advance that anon pages require
IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias?

First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming.  If all the anon pages are
referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the
anon list.  During this time, however, it's important that we age
anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their
hot-cold gradients are comparable.  Everything else being equal, we still
want to reclaim the coldest memory overall.

Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes.  If there is
swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out
before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

314b57fb04 mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing
Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs.  rotated pages.  In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:

1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
   one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.

2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
   the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
   rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
   death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
   the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.

Since commit a528910e12 ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing")
we have refault detection for the page cache.  Along with swapin events,
they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is
too small for its workingset and needs to grow.

For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more
time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list.
Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we
reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off.

Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative
reclaim cost of the two LRUs.  This will have the VM target list balances
that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

34e58cac6d mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon
We activate cache refaults with reuse distances in pages smaller than the
size of the total cache.  This allows new pages with competitive access
frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially
displace pages on the active list that have gone cold.

However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active
cache in a competition for the hottest memory.  This is not a great
default assumption.  The page cache might be thrashing while there are
enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd
only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache.

Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than
the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages.

Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs
depending on the IO situation.  Rotational drives will prefer avoiding
random IO from swap and go harder after cache.  But fundamentally, hot
cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM.

b910718a94 mm: vmscan: detect file thrashing at the reclaim root
We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is
stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file
LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable
periods, and minimize IO during transitions.

With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly.  While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the
local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring.  As a result,
cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages
of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be.

[ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under
  continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of
  inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also
  done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages
  eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative
  size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch
  here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ]

This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim.  Instead of
remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that
caused the reclaim to happen.  When refaults later occur, they'll
correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows.

I.e.  if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the
refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just
the local order down inside C.

867e5e1de1 mm: clean up and clarify lruvec lookup procedure
There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec.  Which one is being
used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes -
especially when it comes to global reclaim.

How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the
root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs.  When memory cgroups are not compiled
in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec.

Document that in a comment.

Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the
mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the
right lruvec manually right now.  But to avoid future mistakes, rename the
pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper
that suggests it's a commonly accessed member.

While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order.  The name
suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second.
I have to double take every time I call this.  Fix that.
