add_to_swap_cache() and delete_from_swap_cache() are counterparts, while
currently they use different ways to count pages.
It doesn't break anything because we only have two sizes for PageAnon, but
this is confusing and not good practice.
This patch corrects it by making both functions use hpage_nr_pages().

total_swapcache_pages() may race with swapper_spaces[] allocation and
freeing. Previously, this is protected with a swapper_spaces[] specific
RCU mechanism. To simplify the logic/code complexity, it is replaced with
get/put_swap_device(). The code line number is reduced too. Although not
so important, the swapoff() performance improves too because one
synchronize_rcu() call during swapoff() is deleted.

When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from
the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held
to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race
like below,
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
do_swap_page
swapin_readahead
__read_swap_cache_async
swapoff swapcache_prepare
p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate
p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */
Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may
not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed.
To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified
swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap
entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until
put_swap_device() is called.
Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as
fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of
reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From
get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so
synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is
called.
In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct
swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff,
so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff
too.
Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via
calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing
swap cache data structure.
Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() +
stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data
structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is
similar. The advantages of RCU based method are,
1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other
CPUs.
2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar
mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code
between them.
3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and
exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be
merged to simplify the logic.

Swap readahead would read in a few pages regardless if the underlying
device is busy or not. It may incur long waiting time if the device is
congested, and it may also exacerbate the congestion.
Use inode_read_congested() to check if the underlying device is busy or
not like what file page readahead does. Get inode from
swap_info_struct.
Although we can add inode information in swap_address_space
(address_space->host), it may lead some unexpected side effect, i.e. it
may break mapping_cap_account_dirty(). Using inode from
swap_info_struct seems simple and good enough.
Just does the check in vma_cluster_readahead() since
swap_vma_readahead() is just used for non-rotational device which much
less likely has congestion than traditional HDD.
Although swap slots may be consecutive on swap partition, it still may
be fragmented on swap file. This check would help to reduce excessive
stall for such case.
The test with page_fault1 of will-it-scale (sometimes tracing may just
show runtest.py that is the wrapper script of page_fault1), which
basically launches NR_CPU threads to generate 128MB anonymous pages for
each thread, on my virtual machine with congested HDD shows long tail

Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
"The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
its users.
This patch set
1. Introduces the XArray implementation
2. Converts the pagecache to use it
3. Converts memremap to use it
The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.
I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The
other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for
applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're
interested"

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

Patch series "mm, memcontrol: Implement memory.swap.events", v2.
This patchset implements memory.swap.events which contains max and fail
events so that userland can monitor and respond to swap running out.
This patch (of 2):
get_swap_page() is always followed by mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap().
This patch moves mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap() into get_swap_page() and
makes get_swap_page() call the function even after swap allocation
failure.
This simplifies the callers and consolidates memcg related logic and
will ease adding swap related memcg events.

When a page fault occurs for a swap entry, the physical swap readahead
(not the VMA base swap readahead) may readahead several swap entries
after the fault swap entry. The readahead algorithm calculates some of
the swap entries to readahead via increasing the offset of the fault
swap entry without checking whether they are beyond the end of the swap
device and it relys on the __swp_swapcount() and swapcache_prepare() to

in, it will complain with the error message as follow for the expected
invalid swap entry. This may make the end users confused.

To fix the false error message, the swap entry checking is added in
swapin_readahead() to avoid to pass the out-of-bound swap entries and
the swap entry reserved for the swap header to __swp_swapcount() and
swapcache_prepare().

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

When the VMA based swap readahead was introduced, a new knob
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order
was added as the max window of VMA swap readahead. This is to make it
possible to use different max window for VMA based readahead and
original physical readahead. But Minchan Kim pointed out that this will
cause a regression because setting page-cluster sysctl to zero cannot
disable swap readahead with the change.
To fix the regression, the page-cluster sysctl is used as the max window
of both the VMA based swap readahead and original physical swap
readahead. If more fine grained control is needed in the future, more
knobs can be added as the subordinate knobs of the page-cluster sysctl.
The vma_ra_max_order knob is deleted. Because the knob was introduced
in v4.14-rc1, and this patch is targeting being merged before v4.14
releasing, there should be no existing users of this newly added ABI.

MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear
SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap
cache between these two steps by page reclaim. If page reclaim finds
such page, it will simply add the page to swap cache without pageout the
page to swap because the page is marked as clean. Next time, page fault
will read data from the swap slot which doesn't have the original data,
so we have a data corruption. To fix issue, we mark the page dirty and
pageout the page.
However, we shouldn't dirty all pages which is clean and in swap cache.
swapin page is swap cache and clean too. So we only dirty page which is
added into swap cache in page reclaim, which shouldn't be swapin page.
As Minchan suggested, simply dirty the page in add_to_swap can do the
job.

The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
valid.
In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
memory. And the different tasks in the system may have different access
patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect.
In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault
address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap
slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots.
At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from
globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs
could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be
applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling
algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the
space locality.
The test and result is as follow,
Common test condition
=====================
Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device:
NVMe disk
Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern
============================================
vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G
virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300
seconds. The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following
rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out.
At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in
background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the
random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in
in the background.
This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing
at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow,
Base Optimized
---- ---------
throughput 345413 KB/s 414029 KB/s (+19.9%)

latency.95th 346 us 369 us
latency.99th 1.34 ms 1.09 ms
ra_hit% 52.69% 99.98%
The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background
random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower. The VMA-base
readahead algorithm works much better.

The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping.
Base Optimized
---- ---------
elapsed_time 393.49 s 329.88 s (-16.2%)
ra_hit% 86.21% 98.82%
The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes. But the
elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized
kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages. And the absolute
value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is
still valid in some practical workloads.

In the original implementation, it is possible that the existing pages
in the swap cache (not newly readahead) could be marked as the readahead
pages. This will cause the statistics of swap readahead be wrong and
influence the swap readahead algorithm too.
This is fixed via marking a page as the readahead page only if it is
newly allocated and read from the disk.
When testing with linpack, after the fixing the swap readahead hit rate
increased from ~66% to ~86%.

In addition to the swap readahead changes, some new sysfs interface is
added to show the efficiency of the readahead algorithm and some other
swap statistics.
This new implementation will incur more small random read, on SSD, the
improved correctness of estimation and readahead target should beat the
potential increased overhead, this is also illustrated in the test
results below. But on HDD, the overhead may beat the benefit, so the
original implementation will be used by default.

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

so if it fails due to lack of space in case of THP or something(hdd swap
but tries THP swapout) *caller* rather than add_to_swap itself should
split the THP page and retry it with base page which is more natural.

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

Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.
In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.
From Dave Hansen:
"for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
*contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
fragmentation.
The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.
The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it. That makes it a little harder to change.

Commit cbab0e4eec ("swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to
deadlock while waiting on discard I/O completion") fixed a deadlock in
read_swap_cache_async(). Because at that time, in swap allocation path,
a swap entry may be set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE, then wait for discarding to
complete before the page for the swap entry is added to the swap cache.
But in commit 815c2c543d ("swap: make swap discard async"), the
discarding for swap become asynchronous, waiting for discarding to
complete will be done before the swap entry is set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE.
So the comments in code is incorrect now. This patch fixes the
comments.
The cond_resched() added in the commit cbab0e4eec is not necessary now
too. But if we added some sleep in swap allocation path in the future,
there may be some hard to debug/reproduce deadlock bug. So it is kept.

Because during swap off, a swap entry may have swap_map[] ==
SWAP_HAS_CACHE (for example, just allocated). If we return NULL in
__read_swap_cache_async(), the swap off will abort. So when swap slot
cache is disabled, (for swap off), we will wait for page to be put into
swap cache in such race condition. This should not be a problem for swap
slot cache, because swap slot cache should be drained after clearing
swap_slot_cache_enabled.

We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed
quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock.
Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap
slots returned. This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the
global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with
other slots in a cluster. We do not reuse the slots that are returned
right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots.
The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when
searching for empty slots in cache. The swap free cache is protected by
a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path.
We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable
the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots
fall below a low watermark threshold. We re-enable the cache agian when
the slots available are above a high watermark.

The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device. And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.
But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.
The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.
One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0. Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device. If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture. For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11. But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4. The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.
This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache. In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If
THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is
used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference
counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter
value.
CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot
of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to
reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be
reduced accordingly.
To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced:
MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch
the global counter in two cases:
1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page;
2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero.
Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon
as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be
eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it
was ever used.
And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge
zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there
is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired,
I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero.
Case used for test on Haswell EP:
usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G
Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and
then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

File pages use a set of radix tree tags (DIRTY, TOWRITE, WRITEBACK,
etc.) to accelerate finding the pages with a specific tag in the radix
tree during inode writeback. But for anonymous pages in the swap cache,
there is no inode writeback. So there is no need to find the pages with
some writeback tags in the radix tree. It is not necessary to touch
radix tree writeback tags for pages in the swap cache.
Per Rik van Riel's suggestion, a new flag AS_NO_WRITEBACK_TAGS is
introduced for address spaces which don't need to update the writeback
tags. The flag is set for swap caches. It may be used for DAX file
systems, etc.
With this patch, the swap out bandwidth improved 22.3% (from ~1.2GB/s to
~1.48GBps) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes.
The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM
simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. The improvement comes from
the reduced contention on the swap cache radix tree lock. To test
sequential swapping out, the test case uses 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

Christian Borntraeger reported a kernel panic after corrupt page counts,
and it turned out to be a regression introduced with commit aa88b68c3b
("thp: keep huge zero page pinned until tlb flush"), at least on s390.
put_huge_zero_page() was moved over from zap_huge_pmd() to
release_pages(), and it was replaced by tlb_remove_page(). However,
release_pages() might not always be triggered by (the arch-specific)
tlb_remove_page().
On s390 we call free_page_and_swap_cache() from tlb_remove_page(), and
not tlb_flush_mmu() -> free_pages_and_swap_cache() like the generic
version, because we don't use the MMU-gather logic. Although both
functions have very similar names, they are doing very unsimilar things,
in particular free_page_xxx is just doing a put_page(), while
free_pages_xxx calls release_pages().
This of course results in very harmful put_page()s on the huge zero
page, on architectures where tlb_remove_page() is implemented in this
way. It seems to affect only s390 and sh, but sh doesn't have THP
support, so the problem (currently) probably only exists on s390.
The following quick hack fixed the issue:

v3.16 commit 07a4278843 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).
That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
justification.
Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path:
it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.
Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.
There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but
SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

This patchset introduces swap accounting to cgroup2.
This patch (of 7):
In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because:
- memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit
swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that
the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is
memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very
large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would
effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the
user preference.
- memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying
both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw
counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to
memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which
looks unexpected.
That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for
cgroup2.
This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number
of swap entries used by a cgroup. It is only charged in the unified
hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact.
The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and
limited using memory.swap.max.
Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have
to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not
just ->count, i.e. when all references to a swap entry, including the one
taken by swap cache, are gone. This is necessary, because otherwise
swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap
cache and hence still occupies a swap entry. At the same time, this
shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice
for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we
uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).
The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than
swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens.
Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace
without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation +
zeroing).
Jason Evans said:
: Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED
: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for
: several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this

: in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it
: increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the
: benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still
: enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement.
:
: Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used

: MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications
: linked with the integrated jemalloc.
:
: jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel.
: In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's
: available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux
: (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of
: MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly
: sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this
: remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux.
: Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially.
How it works:
When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the
range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table
and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM
could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store
operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is
set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding.
One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty
bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page
or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM
shouldn't discard the page.
However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table
entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page
wrongly.
For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and
PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap
cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty
flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by
MADV_FREE.
However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty
still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the
page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future.
Look at below example for detail.
ptr = malloc();
memset(ptr);
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
..
..
var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
..
..
madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
..
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure again.
.. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
.. has *PG_dirty*
To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is
owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because
PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could
clear it only if we own it exclusively.
Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)

lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page. It doesn't make
much sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head
page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.
This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with
helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these
helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().
SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.
