mm: add function __putback_isolated_page
There are cases where we would benefit from avoiding having to go through the allocation and free cycle to return an isolated page. Examples for this might include page poisoning in which we isolate a page and then put it back in the free list without ever having actually allocated it. This will enable us to also avoid notifiers for the future free page reporting which will need to avoid retriggering page reporting when returning pages that have been reported on.

mm,compaction,cma: add alloc_contig flag to compact_control
Patch series "fix THP migration for CMA allocations", v2. Transparent huge pages are allocated with __GFP_MOVABLE, and can end up in CMA memory blocks. Transparent huge pages also have most of the infrastructure in place to allow migration. However, a few pieces were missing, causing THP migration to fail when attempting to use CMA to allocate 1GB hugepages. With these patches in place, THP migration from CMA blocks seems to work, both for anonymous THPs and for tmpfs/shmem THPs. This patch (of 2): Add information to struct compact_control to indicate that the allocator would really like to clear out this specific part of memory, used by for example CMA.

mm, pagealloc: micro-optimisation: save two branches on hot page allocation path
This patch makes ALLOC_KSWAPD equal to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (cast to int). Thanks to that code like: if (gfp_mask & __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) alloc_flags |= ALLOC_KSWAPD; can be changed to: alloc_flags |= (__force int) (gfp_mask &__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM); Thanks to this one branch less is generated in the assembly.

mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times
The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1]. Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once. We achieved this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing handle_mm_fault() the second time. This was majorly used to avoid unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the page fault on a single page. However that should hardly happen, and after all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned. This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY. It means that the page fault handler now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the need to generate another page fault event. Meanwhile we still keep the FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a page fault is the first attempt or not. Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag): - ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault allows to retry, and this is the first try - ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this means the page fault allows to retry, and this is not the first try - !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow to retry at all - !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this is forbidden and should never be used In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY). This patch introduces a simple helper to detect the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in all existing special paths. One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained. This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault. It might also benefit other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault write-protection. GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

mm: drop mmap_sem before calling balance_dirty_pages() in write fault
One of our services is observing hanging ps/top/etc under heavy write IO, and the task states show this is an mmap_sem priority inversion: A write fault is holding the mmap_sem in read-mode and waiting for (heavily cgroup-limited) IO in balance_dirty_pages(): balance_dirty_pages+0x724/0x905 balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited+0x254/0x390 fault_dirty_shared_page.isra.96+0x4a/0x90 do_wp_page+0x33e/0x400 __handle_mm_fault+0x6f0/0xfa0 handle_mm_fault+0xe4/0x200 __do_page_fault+0x22b/0x4a0 page_fault+0x45/0x50 Somebody tries to change the address space, contending for the mmap_sem in write-mode: call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable+0x13/0x20 do_mprotect_pkey+0xa8/0x330 SyS_mprotect+0xf/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x100 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2 The waiting writer locks out all subsequent readers to avoid lock starvation, and several threads can be seen hanging like this: call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x14/0x30 proc_pid_cmdline_read+0xa0/0x480 __vfs_read+0x23/0x140 vfs_read+0x87/0x130 SyS_read+0x42/0x90 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x100 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2 To fix this, do what we do for cache read faults already: drop the mmap_sem before calling into anything IO bound, in this case the balance_dirty_pages() function, and return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD
Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction
Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during compaction can be allocated by any parallel task.

mm, compaction: round-robin the order while searching the free lists for a target
As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction targets. Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails. This patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets. The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full instead of being properly packed. Previous testing had indicated that without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free scanner without this patch.

mm, compaction: avoid rescanning the same pageblock multiple times
Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan. However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner. Due to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete. The pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple times. Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful. This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned. If so, then the entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation. This narrows the race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration. Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping. On the second rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes progress. 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 findfree-v3r16 norescan-v3r16 Amean fault-both-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 0.00 * 0.00%* Amean fault-both-3 3200.68 ( 0.00%) 3002.07 ( 6.21%) Amean fault-both-5 4847.75 ( 0.00%) 4684.47 ( 3.37%) Amean fault-both-7 6658.92 ( 0.00%) 6815.54 ( -2.35%) Amean fault-both-12 11077.62 ( 0.00%) 10864.02 ( 1.93%) Amean fault-both-18 12403.97 ( 0.00%) 12247.52 ( 1.26%) Amean fault-both-24 15607.10 ( 0.00%) 15683.99 ( -0.49%) Amean fault-both-30 18752.27 ( 0.00%) 18620.02 ( 0.71%) Amean fault-both-32 21207.54 ( 0.00%) 19250.28 * 9.23%* 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 findfree-v3r16 norescan-v3r16 Percentage huge-3 96.86 ( 0.00%) 95.00 ( -1.91%) Percentage huge-5 93.72 ( 0.00%) 94.22 ( 0.53%) Percentage huge-7 94.31 ( 0.00%) 92.35 ( -2.08%) Percentage huge-12 92.66 ( 0.00%) 91.90 ( -0.82%) Percentage huge-18 91.51 ( 0.00%) 89.58 ( -2.11%) Percentage huge-24 90.50 ( 0.00%) 90.03 ( -0.52%) Percentage huge-30 91.57 ( 0.00%) 89.14 ( -2.65%) Percentage huge-32 91.00 ( 0.00%) 90.58 ( -0.46%) Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific corner case was not hit.

When it does happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration source
The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large search space. Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot migrate. These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP and the cost accumulates. The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP. It prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire block. The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list fails. After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next search will not encounter the same page. If the search fails then the subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used. If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used. It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases. Small free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous. 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 noboost-v3r10 findmig-v3r15 Amean fault-both-3 3771.41 ( 0.00%) 3390.40 ( 10.10%) Amean fault-both-5 5409.05 ( 0.00%) 5082.28 ( 6.04%) Amean fault-both-7 7040.74 ( 0.00%) 7012.51 ( 0.40%) Amean fault-both-12 11887.35 ( 0.00%) 11346.63 ( 4.55%) Amean fault-both-18 16718.19 ( 0.00%) 15324.19 ( 8.34%) Amean fault-both-24 21157.19 ( 0.00%) 16088.50 * 23.96%* Amean fault-both-30 21175.92 ( 0.00%) 18723.42 * 11.58%* Amean fault-both-32 21339.03 ( 0.00%) 18612.01 * 12.78%* 5.0.0-rc1 5.0.0-rc1 noboost-v3r10 findmig-v3r15 Percentage huge-3 86.50 ( 0.00%) 89.83 ( 3.85%) Percentage huge-5 92.52 ( 0.00%) 91.96 ( -0.61%) Percentage huge-7 92.44 ( 0.00%) 92.85 ( 0.44%) Percentage huge-12 92.98 ( 0.00%) 92.74 ( -0.25%) Percentage huge-18 91.70 ( 0.00%) 91.71 ( 0.02%) Percentage huge-24 91.59 ( 0.00%) 92.13 ( 0.60%) Percentage huge-30 90.14 ( 0.00%) 93.79 ( 4.04%) Percentage huge-32 90.03 ( 0.00%) 91.27 ( 1.37%) This shows an improvement in allocation latencies with similar allocation success rates.

mm, compaction: always finish scanning of a full pageblock
When compaction is finishing, it uses a flag to ensure the pageblock is complete but it makes sense to always complete migration of a pageblock. Minimally, skip information is based on a pageblock and partially scanned pageblocks may incur more scanning in the future. The pageblock skip handling also becomes more strict later in the series and the hint is more useful if a complete pageblock was always scanned. The potentially impacts latency as more scanning is done but it's not a consistent win or loss as the scanning is not always a high percentage of the pageblock and sometimes it is offset by future reductions in scanning. Hence, the results are not presented this time due to a misleading mix of gains/losses without any clear pattern. However, full scanning of the pageblock is important for later patches.

mm, compaction: shrink compact_control
Patch series "Increase success rates and reduce latency of compaction", v3. This series reduces scan rates and success rates of compaction, primarily by using the free lists to shorten scans, better controlling of skip information and whether multiple scanners can target the same block and capturing pageblocks before being stolen by parallel requests. The series is based on mmotm from January 9th, 2019 with the previous compaction series reverted. I'm mostly using thpscale to measure the impact of the series. The benchmark creates a large file, maps it, faults it, punches holes in the mapping so that the virtual address space is fragmented and then tries to allocate THP. It re-executes for different numbers of threads. From a fragmentation perspective, the workload is relatively benign but it does stress compaction.

So much less work in exchange for lower latency and better success rates. The series was also evaluated using a workload that heavily fragments memory but the benefits there are also significant, albeit not presented. It was commented that we should be rethinking scanning entirely and to a large extent I agree. However, to achieve that you need a lot of this series in place first so it's best to make the linear scanners as best as possible before ripping them out. This patch (of 22): The isolate and migrate scanners should never isolate more than a pageblock of pages so unsigned int is sufficient saving 8 bytes on a 64-bit build.

mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation
Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5.
It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka
anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse
workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order
allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition
of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series
that reduces the level of those fragmentation events.
The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more
detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level
summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the
mmtests implementation.
The broad details of the workload are as follows;
1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
as part of the testing for this patch)
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate
is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
pages get mixed
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files
created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further
interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
and what the fault latency was in microseconds
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup
Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94%
on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation
success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and
high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they
are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded
so they are treated as a secondary metric.
Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory
instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to
handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained
in the changelog.
Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation
event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory
and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system
slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level
of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance
for fragmentation vs allocation latency.
Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4
make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it
is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if
larger stalls can be tolerated.
The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches
1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option
of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for
some stalls to control fragmentation.
This patch (of 5):
The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each
zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account. On x86, node 0
may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone. A consequence is
that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though
ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory. This patch special cases the
allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local
zone before fragmenting a higher zone. In this case, stealing of
pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast
path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view.
This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before
attempting THP allocations. It's implemented in mmtests as the following
configurations
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage
e.g. from mmtests
./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1
The broad details of the workload are as follows;
1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
as part of the testing for this patch).
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate
is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
pages get mixed.
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files
created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further
interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
and what the fault latency was in microseconds.
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup the test files.
Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not
suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory
may be excessive. Also note that while this is one mix that generates
fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation.
Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is
used with high-order pages may yield different results.
When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event. If the fallback_order is smaller than
a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an
"external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future.
Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation
events that occur with order < 9. The secondary metric is allocation
latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences
in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of
external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric.

Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain
at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate
THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or
keeping pages resident. However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation
events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in
the future.

42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE
The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is
consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented
again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations.
Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they
can be migrated. The problem is that they can fill an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback
later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move. If there is a
movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to
actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot
know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it.
Hence, it's important to control them. This point is also consistent
throughout the series and will not be repeated.

mm: Change return type int to vm_fault_t for fault handlers
Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.

mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE
Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE", v2. 0. History This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information is needed. 1. What does this patch do? This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in the MM subsystem. Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has some problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone. To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view, characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem. 2. Motivation There are some problems with current approach. See following. Although these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone. Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach. Anyway, following is the problems of the current implementation. o CMA memory utilization First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0 If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim, there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas would not be used. FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml. And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this problem. Useless reclaim: There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence, CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be usable for the kernel allocation. Atomic allocation failure: This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage calculation logic. - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would fails due to following logic. - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0 It was reported by Aneesh [3]. Useless compaction: Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction, migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the unmovable allocation request so it's just waste. 3. Current approach and new approach Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However, as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised. New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone. There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA area. The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also only allowed for this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with GFP_MOVABLE can use them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file cache page and anonymous page. However, file cache page for blockdev file is an exception. Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is pros and cons on this exception. In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by discarding this case. Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be printed in the MOVABLE zone. That's all. 4.

mm, migrate: remove reason argument from new_page_t
No allocation callback is using this argument anymore. new_page_node used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp. migration error up to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array). The error status never made it into the final status field and we have a better way to communicate node id to the status field now. All other allocation callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

mm, numa: rework do_pages_move
Patch series "unclutter thp migration" Motivation: THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather surprising semantic. The migration allocation callback is supposed to check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the case then it allocates a simple page to migrate. unmap_and_move then fixes that up by splitting the THP into small pages while moving the head page to the newly allocated order-0 page. Remaining pages are moved to the LRU list by split_huge_page. The same happens if the THP allocation fails. This is really ugly and error prone [2]. I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong because all tail pages are not migrated. Some callers will just work around that by retrying (e.g. memory hotplug). There are other pfn walkers which are simply broken though. e.g. madvise_inject_error will migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size. do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind), will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a questionable behavior. Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large pages so it should be immune. The first patch reworks do_pages_move which relies on a very ugly calling semantic when the return status is pushed to the migration path via private pointer. It uses pre allocated fixed size batching to achieve that. We simply cannot do the same if a THP is to be split during the migration path which is done in the patch 3. Patch 2 is follow up cleanup which removes the mentioned return status calling convention ugliness. On a side note: There are some semantic issues I have encountered on the way when working on patch 1 but I am not addressing them here. E.g. trying to move THP tail pages will result in either success or EBUSY (the later one more likely once we isolate head from the LRU list). Hugetlb reports EACCESS on tail pages. Some errors are reported via status parameter but migration failures are not even though the original `reason' argument suggests there was an intention to do so. From a quick look into git history this never worked. I have tried to keep the semantic unchanged. Then there is a relatively minor thing that the page isolation might fail because of pages not being on the LRU - e.g. because they are sitting on the per-cpu LRU caches. Easily fixable. This patch (of 3): do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for each address). The user provided status array then contains resulting numa node for each address or an error. The semantic of this function is little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back. Notably migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value. This patch doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change the underlying implementation. Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large) in batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page. Each address is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node structure along with the requested target numa node. The array of these structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private argument. new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and allocates the proper target page. What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path. That doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to make the thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a THP into the list for some cases. How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't require any additional storage. This should work reasonably well because page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a specific node. So the common case should work equally well as the current implementation. Even if somebody constructs an input where the target numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large performance impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit from batching. mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable and isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it even in the current implementation.

mm, thp: Do not make pmd/pud dirty without a reason
Currently we make page table entries dirty all the time regardless of access type and don't even consider if the mapping is write-protected. The reasoning is that we don't really need dirty tracking on THP and making the entry dirty upfront may save some time on first write to the page. Unfortunately, such approach may result in false-positive can_follow_write_pmd() for huge zero page or read-only shmem file. Let's only make page dirty only if we about to write to the page anyway (as we do for small pages). I've restructured the code to make entry dirty inside maybe_p[mu]d_mkwrite(). It also takes into account if the vma is write-protected. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access
For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM
victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access
to memory reserves. There are few shortcomings of this implementation,
though.
First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory
reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the
system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on.
Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on
mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed.
Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick
memory reserves depletion. We have tried to reduce this risk by giving
TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but
that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room
for corner cases - e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the
allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread
was not the group leader.
Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable

mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries
Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as munmap, mremap and madvise. For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes. Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs triggering a fault. Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13 merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his ack.

mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

mm, compaction: finish whole pageblock to reduce fragmentation
The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when possible. Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block. Instead there might be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase long-term fragmentation. To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even though the high-order page already exists. Note that it might be possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that. This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in a migratetype fallback. (Async compaction also eagerly skips order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.) As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be reduced. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 20%.

mm, compaction: reorder fields in struct compact_control
Patch series "try to reduce fragmenting fallbacks", v3.
Last year, Johannes Weiner has reported a regression in page mobility
grouping [1] and while the exact cause was not found, I've come up with
some ways to improve it by reducing the number of allocations falling
back to different migratetype and causing permanent fragmentation.
The series was tested with mmtests stress-highalloc modified to do
GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, on 4.9 with "mm, vmscan: fix zone
balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep" (without that, kcompactd indeed
wasn't woken up) on UMA machine with 4GB memory. There were 5 repeats
of each run, as the extfrag stats are quite volatile (note the stats
below are sums, not averages, as it was less perl hacking for me).
Success rate are the same, already high due to the low allocation order
used, so I'm not including them.

mm: delete NR_PAGES_SCANNED and pgdat_reclaimable()
NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free event in the allocator. This was used primarily to measure the reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should give up on them. In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding patches by a different mechanism. Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically exported to userspace as well. It's however unlikely that anyone outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way. Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodes
Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".
Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage. We have seen similar cases at Facebook.
The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages. In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met. Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.
This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs. This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer. If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.
Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.
Patch #6 is the odd one out. It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.
If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.
This patch (of 9):
Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:
$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.
Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance. Up until

mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq
We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.

mm, compaction: add vmstats for kcompactd work
A "compact_daemon_wake" vmstat exists that represents the number of times kcompactd has woken up. This doesn't represent how much work it actually did, though. It's useful to understand how much compaction work is being done by kcompactd versus other methods such as direct compaction and explicitly triggered per-node (or system) compaction. This adds two new vmstats: "compact_daemon_migrate_scanned" and "compact_daemon_free_scanned" to represent the number of pages kcompactd has scanned as part of its migration scanner and freeing scanner, respectively. These values are still accounted for in the general "compact_migrate_scanned" and "compact_free_scanned" for compatibility. It could be argued that explicitly triggered compaction could also be tracked separately, and that could be added if others find it useful.
