Memory hotlug is broken for 32b systems at least since c6f03e2903 ("mm,
memory_hotplug: remove zone restrictions") which has considerably reworked
how can be memory associated with movable/kernel zones. The same is not
really trivial to achieve in 32b where only lowmem is the kernel zone.
While we can tweak this immediate problem around there are likely other
land mines hidden at other places.
It is also quite dubious that there is a real usecase for the memory
hotplug on 32b in the first place. Low memory is just too small to be
hotplugable (for hot add) and generally unusable for hotremove. Adding
more memory to highmem is also dubious because it would increase the low
mem or vmalloc space pressure for memmaps.
Restrict the functionality to 64b systems. This will help future
development to focus on usecases that have real life application. We can
remove this restriction in future in presence of a real life usecase of
course but until then make it explicit that hotplug on 32b is broken and
requires a non trivial amount of work to fix.
Robin said:
"32-bit Arm doesn't support memory hotplug, and as far as I'm aware
there's little likelihood of it ever wanting to. FWIW it looks like
SuperH is the only pure-32-bit architecture to have hotplug support at
all"

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Interface to add driver-managed system
ram", v4.
kexec (via kexec_load()) can currently not properly handle memory added
via dax/kmem, and will have similar issues with virtio-mem. kexec-tools
will currently add all memory to the fixed-up initial firmware memmap. In
case of dax/kmem, this means that - in contrast to a proper reboot - how
that persistent memory will be used can no longer be configured by the
kexec'd kernel. In case of virtio-mem it will be harmful, because that
memory might contain inaccessible pieces that require coordination with
hypervisor first.
In both cases, we want to let the driver in the kexec'd kernel handle
detecting and adding the memory, like during an ordinary reboot.
Introduce add_memory_driver_managed(). More on the samentics are in patch
#1.
In the future, we might want to make this behavior configurable for
dax/kmem- either by configuring it in the kernel (which would then also
allow to configure kexec_file_load()) or in kexec-tools by also adding
"System RAM (kmem)" memory from /proc/iomem to the fixed-up initial
firmware memmap.
More on the motivation can be found in [1] and [2].

[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200430102908.10107-1-david@redhat.com
This patch (of 3):
Some device drivers rely on memory they managed to not get added to the
initial (firmware) memmap as system RAM - so it's not used as initial
system RAM by the kernel and the driver is under control. While this is
the case during cold boot and after a reboot, kexec is not aware of that
and might add such memory to the initial (firmware) memmap of the kexec
kernel. We need ways to teach kernel and userspace that this system ram
is different.
For example, dax/kmem allows to decide at runtime if persistent memory is
to be used as system ram. Another future user is virtio-mem, which has to
coordinate with its hypervisor to deal with inaccessible parts within
memory resources.
We want to let users in the kernel (esp. kexec) but also user space
(esp. kexec-tools) know that this memory has different semantics and
needs to be handled differently:
1. Don't create entries in /sys/firmware/memmap/
2. Name the memory resource "System RAM ($DRIVER)" (exposed via
/proc/iomem) ($DRIVER might be "kmem", "virtio_mem").
3. Flag the memory resource IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED
/sys/firmware/memmap/ [1] represents the "raw firmware-provided memory
map" because "on most architectures that firmware-provided memory map is
modified afterwards by the kernel itself". The primary user is kexec on
x86-64. Since commit d96ae53091 ("memory-hotplug: create
/sys/firmware/memmap entry for new memory"), we add all hotplugged memory
to that firmware memmap - which makes perfect sense for traditional memory
hotplug on x86-64, where real HW will also add hotplugged DIMMs to the
firmware memmap. We replicate what the "raw firmware-provided memory map"
looks like after hot(un)plug.
To keep things simple, let the user provide the full resource name instead
of only the driver name - this way, we don't have to manually
allocate/craft strings for memory resources. Also use the resource name
to make decisions, to avoid passing additional flags. In case the name
isn't "System RAM", it's special.
We don't have to worry about firmware_map_remove() on the removal path.
If there is no entry, it will simply return with -EINVAL.
We'll adapt dax/kmem in a follow-up patch.

The comment in add_memory_resource() is stale: hotadd_new_pgdat() will no
longer call get_pfn_range_for_nid(), as a hotadded pgdat will simply span
no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via
move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory blocks.
The only archs that care about memblocks for hotplugged memory (either for
iterating over all system RAM or testing for memory validity) are arm64,
s390x, and powerpc - due to CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. Without
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, we can simply stop messing with memblocks.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v1.
A hotadded node/pgdat will span no pages at all, until memory is moved to
the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() -> resize_pgdat_range - e.g.,
when onlining memory blocks. We don't have to initialize the
node_start_pfn to the memory we are adding.
This patch (of 2):
Especially, there is an inconsistency:
- Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node with cpus: node_start_pf == 0
- Offlining and removing last memory from a node: node_start_pfn == 0
- Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node without cpus: node_start_pfn != 0
As soon as memory is onlined, node_start_pfn is overwritten with the
actual start. E.g., when adding two DIMMs but only onlining one of both,
only that DIMM (with online memory blocks) is spanned by the node.
Currently, the validity of node_start_pfn really is linked to
node_spanned_pages != 0. With node_spanned_pages == 0 (e.g., before
onlining memory), it has no meaning.
So let's stop setting node_start_pfn, just to be overwritten via
move_pfn_range_to_zone(). This avoids confusion when looking at the code,
wondering which magic will be performed with the node_start_pfn in this
function, when hotadding a pgdat.

For kvmalloc'ed data object that contains sensitive information like
cryptographic keys, we need to make sure that the buffer is always cleared
before freeing it. Using memset() alone for buffer clearing may not
provide certainty as the compiler may compile it away. To be sure, the
special memzero_explicit() has to be used.
This patch introduces a new kvfree_sensitive() for freeing those sensitive
data objects allocated by kvmalloc(). The relevant places where
kvfree_sensitive() can be used are modified to use it.

This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and
other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics.
This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing
page table helpers or addition of new ones.
This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not
limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various
level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page
and validating them.
Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size
and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a
real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called
via late_initcall().
This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected.
Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to
select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64,
x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run
successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test
after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers.
Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers
conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config
which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here
will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test
will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from
generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

This check was added by commit 82f71ae4a2 ("mm: catch memory
commitment underflow") in 2014 to have a safety check for issues which
have been fixed. And there has been few report caught by it, as
described in its commit log:
: This shouldn't happen any more - the previous two patches fixed
: the committed_as underflow issues.
But it was really found by Qian Cai when he used the LTP memory stress
suite to test a RFC patchset, which tries to improve scalability of
per-cpu counter 'vm_committed_as', by chosing a bigger 'batch' number for
loose overcommit policies (OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS), while
keeping current number for OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.
With that patchset, when system firstly uses a loose policy, the
'vm_committed_as' count could be a big negative value, as its big 'batch'
number allows a big deviation, then when the policy is changed to
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER, the 'batch' will be decreased to a much smaller value,
thus hits this WARN check.
To mitigate this, one proposed solution is to queue work on all online
CPUs to do a local sync for 'vm_committed_as' when changing policy to
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER, plus some global syncing to garante the case won't be
hit.
But this solution is costy and slow, given this check hasn't shown real
trouble or benefit, simply drop it from one hot path of MM. And perf
stats does show some tiny saving for removing it.

virtio-mem wants to offline and remove a memory block once it unplugged
all subblocks (e.g., using alloc_contig_range()). Let's provide
an interface to do that from a driver. virtio-mem already supports to
offline partially unplugged memory blocks. Offlining a fully unplugged
memory block will not require to migrate any pages. All unplugged
subblocks are PageOffline() and have a reference count of 0 - so
offlining code will simply skip them.
All we need is an interface to offline and remove the memory from kernel
module context, where we don't have access to the memory block devices
(esp. find_memory_block() and device_offline()) and the device hotplug
lock.
To keep things simple, allow to only work on a single memory block.

virtio-mem wants to allow to offline memory blocks of which some parts
were unplugged (allocated via alloc_contig_range()), especially, to later
offline and remove completely unplugged memory blocks. The important part
is that PageOffline() has to remain set until the section is offline, so
these pages will never get accessed (e.g., when dumping). The pages should
not be handed back to the buddy (which would require clearing PageOffline()
and result in issues if offlining fails and the pages are suddenly in the
buddy).
Let's allow to do that by allowing to isolate any PageOffline() page
when offlining. This way, we can reach the memory hotplug notifier
MEM_GOING_OFFLINE, where the driver can signal that he is fine with
offlining this page by dropping its reference count. PageOffline() pages
with a reference count of 0 can then be skipped when offlining the
pages (like if they were free, however they are not in the buddy).
Anybody who uses PageOffline() pages and does not agree to offline them
(e.g., Hyper-V balloon, XEN balloon, VMWare balloon for 2MB pages) will not
decrement the reference count and make offlining fail when trying to
migrate such an unmovable page. So there should be no observable change.
Same applies to balloon compaction users (movable PageOffline() pages), the
pages will simply be migrated.
Note 1: If offlining fails, a driver has to increment the reference
count again in MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE.
Note 2: A driver that makes use of this has to be aware that re-onlining
the memory block has to be handled by hooking into onlining code
(online_page_callback_t), resetting the page PageOffline() and
not giving them to the buddy.

We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks
and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later.
When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate
subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to
our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory
using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor.
We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will
touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when
onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we
use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either
online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range().
It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can
actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be
fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged.
We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the
ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined
manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is
suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to
make unplug more likely to succeed.
Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched.
As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from
kernel module context, export the symbols.
Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages
are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as
the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory.
pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from
MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge
page thus also clearing pmd_present() test. This creates the following
situation which is counter intuitive.
[pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) = true]
This renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() reflecting the helper's
functionality more accurately while changing the above mentioned situation
as follows. This does not create any functional change.
[pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd)) = true]
This is not applicable for platforms that define own pmdp_invalidate() via

This patch however doesn't go all the way to revert it because the check

access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page

Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not

When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that
list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list
starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age
information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant
latencies until the scanner has caught up.
Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list
receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the
other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum
rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while
still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of
the lists need to adjust.

The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to
reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already
counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count
writepage calls during reclaim.
For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the
anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative
balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and
reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that
don't require IO to reclaim.
For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would
have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it -
premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes.
Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing
cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that
wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page
cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger
batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from
kswapd.
For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a
stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently
accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can
still refine the measurements.
Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the
page belongs to.
Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require
IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias?
First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are
referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the
anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age
anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their
hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still
want to reclaim the coldest memory overall.
Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is
swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out
before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan
pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache
experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous
pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on
the file cache instead.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is
done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is
thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous
pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them.
This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same
level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the
cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain.
When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual
cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that
initiated the reclaim cycle.
If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure
balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration
will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:
1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.
2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.
Since commit a528910e12 ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing")
we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events,
they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is
too small for its workingset and needs to grow.
For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more
time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list.
Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we
reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off.
Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative
reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances
that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when
they're in an executable mapping. The others get deactivated. When it
comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as
rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost
to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the
deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the
other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing
memory.
Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU
balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost
signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO
cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual
rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

Operations like MADV_FREE, FADV_DONTNEED etc. currently move any affected
active pages to the inactive list to accelerate their reclaim (good) but
also steer page reclaim toward that LRU type, or away from the other
(bad).
The reason why this is undesirable is that such operations are not part of
the regular page aging cycle, and rather a fluke that doesn't say much
about the remaining pages on that list; they might all be in heavy use,
and once the chunk of easy victims has been purged, the VM continues to
apply elevated pressure on those remaining hot pages. The other LRU,
meanwhile, might have easily reclaimable pages, and there was never a need
to steer away from it in the first place.
As the previous patch outlined, we should focus on recording actually
observed cost to steer the balance rather than speculating about the
potential value of one LRU list over the other. In that spirit, leave
explicitely deactivated pages to the LRU algorithm to pick up, and let
rotations decide which list is the easiest to reclaim.

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.
There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.
Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.
The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.
This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.
Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.

When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU
lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid
div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so:
anon_prio = swappiness;
file_prio = 200 - anon_prio;
[...]
/*
* The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely
* proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on
* each list that were recently referenced and in active use.
*/
ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1);
ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1;
fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1);
fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1;
spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);
fraction[0] = ap;
fraction[1] = fp;
denominator = ap + fp + 1;
While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp
to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still
add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is
always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one
can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.

When the splitlru patches divided page cache and swap-backed pages into
separate LRU lists, the pressure balance between the lists was biased to
account for the fact that streaming IO can cause memory pressure with a
flood of pages that are used only once. New page cache additions would
tip the balance toward the file LRU, and repeat access would neutralize
that bias again. This ensured that page reclaim would always go for
used-once cache first.
Since e986850598 ("mm,vmscan: only evict file pages when we have
plenty"), page reclaim generally skips over swap-backed memory entirely as
long as there is used-once cache present, and will apply the LRU balancing
when only repeatedly accessed cache pages are left - at which point the
previous use-once bias will have been neutralized. This makes the
use-once cache balancing bias unnecessary.

We activate cache refaults with reuse distances in pages smaller than the
size of the total cache. This allows new pages with competitive access
frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially
displace pages on the active list that have gone cold.
However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active
cache in a competition for the hottest memory. This is not a great
default assumption. The page cache might be thrashing while there are
enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd
only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache.
Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than
the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages.
Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs
depending on the IO situation. Rotational drives will prefer avoiding
random IO from swap and go harder after cache. But fundamentally, hot
cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM.

With the advent of fast random IO devices (SSDs, PMEM) and in-memory swap
devices such as zswap, it's possible for swap to be much faster than
filesystems, and for swapping to be preferable over thrashing filesystem
caches.
Allow setting swappiness - which defines the rough relative IO cost of
cache misses between page cache and swap-backed pages - to reflect such
situations by making the swap-preferred range configurable.

Having statistics on pages scanned and pages reclaimed for both anon and
file pages makes it easier to evaluate changes to LRU balancing.
While at it, clean up the stat-keeping mess for isolation, putback,
reclaim stats etc. a bit: first the physical LRU operation (isolation and
putback), followed by vmstats, reclaim_stats, and then vm events.

The reclaim code that balances between swapping and cache reclaim tries to
predict likely reuse based on in-memory reference patterns alone. This
works in many cases, but when it fails it cannot detect when the cache is
thrashing pathologically, or when we're in the middle of a swap storm.
The high seek cost of rotational drives under which the algorithm evolved
also meant that mistakes could quickly result in lockups from too
aggressive swapping (which is predominantly random IO). As a result, the
balancing code has been tuned over time to a point where it mostly goes
for page cache and defers swapping until the VM is under significant
memory pressure.
The resulting strategy doesn't make optimal caching decisions - where
optimal is the least amount of IO required to execute the workload.
The proliferation of fast random IO devices such as SSDs, in-memory
compression such as zswap, and persistent memory technologies on the
horizon, has made this undesirable behavior very noticable: Even in the
presence of large amounts of cold anonymous memory and a capable swap
device, the VM refuses to even seriously scan these pages, and can leave
the page cache thrashing needlessly.
This series sets out to address this. Since commit ("a528910e12ec mm:
thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have exact tracking of
refault IO - the ultimate cost of reclaiming the wrong pages. This allows
us to use an IO cost based balancing model that is more aggressive about
scanning anonymous memory when the cache is thrashing, while being able to
avoid unnecessary swap storms.
These patches base the LRU balance on the rate of refaults on each list,
times the relative IO cost between swap device and filesystem
(swappiness), in order to optimize reclaim for least IO cost incurred.
History
I floated these changes in 2016. At the time they were incomplete and
full of workarounds due to a lack of infrastructure in the reclaim code:
We didn't have PageWorkingset, we didn't have hierarchical cgroup
statistics, and problems with the cgroup swap controller. As swapping
wasn't too high a priority then, the patches stalled out. With all
dependencies in place now, here we are again with much cleaner,
feature-complete patches.
I kept the acks for patches that stayed materially the same :-)
Below is a series of test results that demonstrate certain problematic
behavior of the current code, as well as showcase the new code's more
predictable and appropriate balancing decisions.
Test #1: No convergence
This test shows an edge case where the VM currently doesn't converge at
all on a new file workingset with a stale anon/tmpfs set.
The test sets up a cold anon set the size of 3/4 RAM, then tries to
establish a new file set half the size of RAM (flat access pattern).
The vanilla kernel refuses to even scan anon pages and never converges.
The file set is perpetually served from the filesystem.
The first test kernel is with the series up to the workingset patch
applied. This allows thrashing page cache to challenge the anonymous
workingset. The VM then scans the lists based on the current
scanned/rotated balancing algorithm. It converges on a stable state where
all cold anon pages are pushed out and the fileset is served entirely from
cache:
noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset
Scanned 417719308.00 ( +0.00%) 64091155.00 ( -84.66%)
Reclaimed 417711094.00 ( +0.00%) 61640308.00 ( -85.24%)
Reclaim efficiency % 100.00 ( +0.00%) 96.18 ( -3.78%)
Scanned file 417719308.00 ( +0.00%) 59211118.00 ( -85.83%)
Scanned anon 0.00 ( +0.00%) 4880037.00 ( )
Swapouts 0.00 ( +0.00%) 2439957.00 ( )

Restore refaults 0.00 ( +0.00%) 54988252.00 ( )
The second test kernel is with the full patch series applied, which
replaces the scanned/rotated ratios with refault/swapin rate-based
balancing. It evicts the cold anon pages more aggressively in the
presence of a thrashing cache and the absence of swapins, and so converges
with about 60% of the IO and reclaim activity:
noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance
Scanned 64091155.00 ( +0.00%) 37579741.00 ( -41.37%)
Reclaimed 61640308.00 ( +0.00%) 35129293.00 ( -43.01%)
Reclaim efficiency % 96.18 ( +0.00%) 93.48 ( -2.78%)
Scanned file 59211118.00 ( +0.00%) 32708385.00 ( -44.76%)
Scanned anon 4880037.00 ( +0.00%) 4871356.00 ( -0.18%)
Swapouts 2439957.00 ( +0.00%) 2435565.00 ( -0.18%)

Refaults 59183722.00 ( +0.00%) 32675667.00 ( -44.79%)
Restore refaults 54988252.00 ( +0.00%) 28480430.00 ( -48.21%)
We're triggering this case in host sideloading scenarios: When a host's
primary workload is not saturating the machine (primary load is usually
driven by user activity), we can optimistically sideload a batch job; if
user activity picks up and the primary workload needs the whole host
during this time, we freeze the sideload and rely on it getting pushed to
swap. Frequently that swapping doesn't happen and the completely inactive
sideload simply stays resident while the expanding primary worklad is
struggling to gain ground.
Test #2: Kernel build
This test is a a kernel build that is slightly memory-restricted (make -j4
inside a 400M cgroup).
Despite the very aggressive swapping of cold anon pages in test #1, this
test shows that the new kernel carefully balances swap against cache
refaults when both the file and the cache set are pressured.
It shows the patched kernel to be slightly better at finding the coldest
memory from the combined anon and file set to evict under pressure. The
result is lower aggregate reclaim and paging activity:

Total paging IO 433167.00 ( +0.00%) 352701.00 ( -18.58%)
Test #3: Overload
This next test is not about performance, but rather about the
predictability of the algorithm. The current balancing behavior doesn't
always lead to comprehensible results, which makes performance analysis
and parameter tuning (swappiness e.g.) very difficult.
The test shows the balancing behavior under equivalent anon and file
input. Anon and file sets are created of equal size (3/4 RAM), have the
same access patterns (a hot-cold gradient), and synchronized access rates.
Swappiness is raised from the default of 60 to 100 to indicate equal IO
cost between swap and cache.
With the vanilla balancing code, anon scans make up around 9% of the total
pages scanned, or a ~1:10 ratio. This is a surprisingly skewed ratio, and
it's an outcome that is hard to explain given the input parameters to the
VM.
The new balancing model targets a 1:2 balance: All else being equal,
reclaiming a file page costs one page IO - the refault; reclaiming an anon
page costs two IOs - the swapout and the swapin. In the test we observe a
~1:3 balance.
The scanned and paging IO numbers indicate that the anon LRU algorithm we
have in place right now does a slightly worse job at picking the coldest
pages compared to the file algorithm. There is ongoing work to improve
this, like Joonsoo's anon workingset patches; however, it's difficult to
compare the two aging strategies when the balancing between them is
behaving unintuitively.
The slightly less efficient anon reclaim results in a deviation from the
optimal 1:2 scan ratio we would like to see here - however, 1:3 is much
closer to what we'd want to see in this test than the vanilla kernel's
aging of 10+ cache pages for every anonymous one:

Total paging IO 497943780.00 ( +0.00%) 562616669.00 ( +12.99%)
Test #4: Parallel IO
It's important to note that these patches only affect the situation where
the kernel has to reclaim workingset memory, which is usually a
transitionary period. The vast majority of page reclaim occuring in a
system is from trimming the ever-expanding page cache.
These patches don't affect cache trimming behavior. We never swap as long
as we only have use-once cache moving through the file LRU, we only
consider swapping when the cache is actively thrashing.
The following test demonstrates this. It has an anon workingset that
takes up half of RAM and then writes a file that is twice the size of RAM
out to disk.
As the cache is funneled through the inactive file list, no anon pages are
scanned (aside from apparently some background noise of 10 pages):
5.7-rc5-mm 5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance
Scanned 10714722.00 ( +0.00%) 10723445.00 ( +0.08%)
Reclaimed 10703596.00 ( +0.00%) 10712166.00 ( +0.08%)
Reclaim efficiency % 99.90 ( +0.00%) 99.89 ( -0.00%)
Scanned file 10714722.00 ( +0.00%) 10723435.00 ( +0.08%)
Scanned anon 0.00 ( +0.00%) 10.00 ( )
Swapouts 0.00 ( +0.00%) 7.00 ( )
Swapins 0.00 ( +0.00%) 0.00 ( +0.00%)
Refaults 92.00 ( +0.00%) 41.00 ( -54.84%)
Restore refaults 0.00 ( +0.00%) 0.00 ( +0.00%)
Total paging IO 92.00 ( +0.00%) 48.00 ( -47.31%)
This patch (of 14):
Currently, THP are counted as single pages until they are split right
before being swapped out. However, at that point the VM is already in the
middle of reclaim, and adjusting the LRU balance then is useless.
Always account THP by the number of basepages, and remove the fixup from
the splitting path.

The previous patches have simplified the access rules around
page->mem_cgroup somewhat:
1. We never change page->mem_cgroup while the page is isolated by
somebody else. This was by far the biggest exception to our rules and
it didn't stop at lock_page() or lock_page_memcg().
2. We charge pages before they get put into page tables now, so the
somewhat fishy rule about "can be in page table as long as it's still
locked" is now gone and boiled down to having an exclusive reference to
the page.
Document the new rules. Any of the following will stabilize the
page->mem_cgroup association:
- the page lock
- LRU isolation
- lock_page_memcg()
- exclusive access to the page

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

Without swap page tracking, users that are otherwise memory controlled can
easily escape their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory
that they're not being charged for. That's because swap does readahead,
but without the cgroup records of who owned the page at swapout, readahead
pages don't get charged until somebody actually faults them into their
page table and we can identify an owner task. This can be maliciously
exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead
allocations without charging the pages.
Make swap swap page tracking an integral part of memcg and remove the
Kconfig options. In the first place, it was only made configurable to
allow users to save some memory. But the overhead of tracking cgroup
ownership per swap page is minimal - 2 byte per page, or 512k per 1G of
swap, or 0.04%. Saving that at the expense of broken containment
semantics is not something we should present as a coequal option.
The swapaccount=0 boot option will continue to exist, and it will
eliminate the page_counter overhead and hide the swap control files, but
it won't disable swap slot ownership tracking.
This patch makes sure we always have the cgroup records at swapin time;
the next patch will fix the actual bug by charging readahead swap pages at
swapin time rather than at fault time.

A few cleanups to streamline the swap controller setup:
- Replace the do_swap_account flag with cgroup_memory_noswap. This
brings it in line with other functionality that is usually available
unless explicitly opted out of - nosocket, nokmem.
- Remove the really_do_swap_account flag that stores the boot option
and is later used to switch the do_swap_account. It's not clear why
this indirection is/was necessary. Use do_swap_account directly.
- Minor coding style polishing

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

The try/commit/cancel protocol that memcg uses dates back to when pages
used to be uncharged upon removal from the page cache, and thus couldn't
be committed before the insertion had succeeded. Nowadays, pages are
uncharged when they are physically freed; it doesn't matter whether the
insertion was successful or not. For the page cache, the transaction
dance has become unnecessary.
Introduce a mem_cgroup_charge() function that simply charges a newly
allocated page to a cgroup and sets up page->mem_cgroup in one single
step. If the insertion fails, the caller doesn't have to do anything but
free/put the page.
Then switch the page cache over to this new API.
Subsequent patches will also convert anon pages, but it needs a bit more
prep work. Right now, memcg depends on page->mapping being already set up
at the time of charging, so that it can maintain its own MEMCG_CACHE and
MEMCG_RSS counters. For anon, page->mapping is set under the same pte
lock under which the page is publishd, so a single charge point that can
block doesn't work there just yet.
The following prep patches will replace the private memcg counters with
the generic vmstat counters, thus removing the page->mapping dependency,
then complete the transition to the new single-point charge API and delete
the old transactional scheme.

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

Commit 215c02bc33 ("tmpfs: fix shmem_getpage_gfp() VM_BUG_ON")
recognized that hole punching can race with swapin and removed the
BUG_ON() for a truncated entry from the swapin path.
The patch also added a swapcache deletion to optimize this rare case:
Since swapin has the page locked, and free_swap_and_cache() merely
trylocks, this situation can leave the page stranded in swapcache.
Usually, page reclaim picks up stale swapcache pages, and the race can
happen at any other time when the page is locked. (The same happens for
non-shmem swapin racing with page table zapping.) The thinking here was:
we already observed the race and we have the page locked, we may as well
do the cleanup instead of waiting for reclaim.
However, this optimization complicates the next patch which moves the
cgroup charging code around. As this is just a minor speedup for a race
condition that is so rare that it required a fuzzer to trigger the
original BUG_ON(), it's no longer worth the complications.

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

The move_lock is a per-memcg lock, but the VM accounting code that needs
to acquire it comes from the page and follows page->mem_cgroup under RCU
protection. That means that the page becomes unlocked not when we drop
the move_lock, but when we update page->mem_cgroup. And that assignment
doesn't imply any memory ordering. If that pointer write gets reordered
against the reads of the page state - page_mapped, PageDirty etc. the
state may change while we rely on it being stable and we can end up
corrupting the counters.
Place an SMP memory barrier to make sure we're done with all page state by
the time the new page->mem_cgroup becomes visible.
Also replace the open-coded move_lock with a lock_page_memcg() to make it
more obvious what we're serializing against.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation", v2.
This patch series reworks memcg to charge swapin pages directly at
swapin time, rather than at fault time, which may be much later, or
not happen at all.
Changes in version 2:
- prevent double charges on pre-allocated hugepages in khugepaged
- leave shmem swapcache when charging fails to avoid double IO (Joonsoo)
- fix temporary accounting bug by switching rmap<->commit (Joonsoo)
- fix double swap charge bug in cgroup1/cgroup2 code gating
- simplify swapin error checking (Joonsoo)
- mm: memcontrol: document the new swap control behavior (Alex)
- review tags
The delayed swapin charging scheme we have right now causes problems:
- Alex's per-cgroup lru_lock patches rely on pages that have been
isolated from the LRU to have a stable page->mem_cgroup; otherwise
the lock may change underneath him. Swapcache pages are charged only
after they are added to the LRU, and charging doesn't follow the LRU
isolation protocol.
- Joonsoo's anon workingset patches need a suitable LRU at the time
the page enters the swap cache and displaces the non-resident
info. But the correct LRU is only available after charging.
- It's a containment hole / DoS vector. Users can trigger arbitrarily
large swap readahead using MADV_WILLNEED. The memory is never
charged unless somebody actually touches it.
- It complicates the page->mem_cgroup stabilization rules
In order to charge pages directly at swapin time, the memcg code base
needs to be prepared, and several overdue cleanups become a necessity:
To charge pages at swapin time, we need to always have cgroup
ownership tracking of swap records. We also cannot rely on
page->mapping to tell apart page types at charge time, because that's
only set up during a page fault.
To eliminate the page->mapping dependency, memcg needs to ditch its
private page type counters (MEMCG_CACHE, MEMCG_RSS, NR_SHMEM) in favor
of the generic vmstat counters and accounting sites, such as
NR_FILE_PAGES, NR_ANON_MAPPED etc.
To switch to generic vmstat counters, the charge sequence must be
adjusted such that page->mem_cgroup is set up by the time these
counters are modified.
The series is structured as follows:
1. Bug fixes
2. Decoupling charging from rmap
3. Swap controller integration into memcg
4. Direct swapin charging
This patch (of 19):
When replacing one page with another one in the cache, we have to decrease
the file count of the old page's NUMA node and increase the one of the new
NUMA node, otherwise the old node leaks the count and the new node
eventually underflows its counter.

Fix an nr_isolate_* mismatch problem between cma and dirty lazyfree pages.
If try_to_unmap_one is used for reclaim and it detects a dirty lazyfree
page, then the lazyfree page is changed to a normal anon page having
SwapBacked by commit 802a3a92ad ("mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages"). Even
with the change, reclaim context correctly counts isolated files because
it uses is_file_lru to distinguish file. And the change to anon is not
happened if try_to_unmap_one is used for migration. So migration context
like compaction also correctly counts isolated files even though it uses
page_is_file_lru insted of is_file_lru. Recently page_is_file_cache was
renamed to page_is_file_lru by commit 9de4f22a60 ("mm: code cleanup for
MADV_FREE").
But the nr_isolate_* mismatch problem happens on cma alloc. There is
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list which is being used only by cma. It was
introduced by commit 02c6de8d75 ("mm: cma: discard clean pages during
contiguous allocation instead of migration") to reclaim clean file pages
without migration. The cma alloc uses both reclaim_clean_pages_from_list
and migrate_pages, and it uses page_is_file_lru to count isolated files.
If there are dirty lazyfree pages allocated from cma memory region, the
pages are counted as isolated file at the beginging but are counted as

Like log above, there were too much isolated files, 37664kB, which
triggers too_many_isolated in reclaim even when there is no actually
isolated file in system wide. It could be reproducible by running two
programs, writing on MADV_FREE page and doing cma alloc, respectively.
Although isolated anon is 0, I found that the internal value of isolated
anon was the negative value of isolated file.
Fix this by compensating the isolated count for both LRU lists. Count
non-discarded lazyfree pages in shrink_page_list, then compensate the
counted number in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

When huge_pte_offset() is called, the parameter sz can only be PUD_SIZE or
PMD_SIZE. If sz is PUD_SIZE and code can reach pud, then *pud must be
none, or normal hugetlb entry, or non-present (migration or hwpoisoned)
hugetlb entry, and we can directly return pud. When sz is PMD_SIZE, pud
must be none or present, and if code can reach pmd, we can directly return
pmd.
So after this patch the code is simplified by first check on the parameter
sz, and avoid unnecessary checks in current code. Same semantics of
existing code is maintained.
More details about relevant commits:
commit 9b19df292c ("mm/hugetlb.c: make huge_pte_offset() consistent
and document behaviour") changed the code path for pud and pmd handling,
see comments about why this patch intends to change it.
...
pud = pud_offset(p4d, addr);
if (sz != PUD_SIZE && pud_none(*pud)) // [1]
return NULL;
/* hugepage or swap? */
if (pud_huge(*pud) || !pud_present(*pud)) // [2]
return (pte_t *)pud;
pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
if (sz != PMD_SIZE && pmd_none(*pmd)) // [3]
return NULL;
/* hugepage or swap? */
if (pmd_huge(*pmd) || !pmd_present(*pmd)) // [4]
return (pte_t *)pmd;
return NULL; // [5]
...
[1]: this is necessary, return NULL for sz == PMD_SIZE;
[2]: if sz == PUD_SIZE, all valid values of pud entry will cause return;
[3]: dead code, sz != PMD_SIZE never true;
[4]: all valid values of pmd entry will cause return;
[5]: dead code, because of check in [4].
Now, this patch combines [1] and [2] for pud, and combines [3], [4] and
[5] for pmd, so avoid unnecessary checks.
I don't try to catch any invalid values in page table entry, as that will
be checked by caller and avoid extra branch in this function. Also no
assert on sz must equal PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE, since this function only
call for hugetlb mapping.
For commit 3c1d7e6ccb ("mm/hugetlb: fix a addressing exception caused by
huge_pte_offset"), since we don't read the entry more than once now,
variable pud_entry and pmd_entry are not needed.

Previously, a check for hugepages_supported was added before processing
hugetlb command line parameters. On some architectures such as powerpc,
hugepages_supported() is not set to true until after command line
processing. Therefore, no hugetlb command line parameters would be
accepted.
Remove the additional checks for hugepages_supported. In hugetlb_init,
print a warning if !hugepages_supported and command line parameters were
specified.

With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code.
- Make code match desired semantics
- Update documentation with semantics
- Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'.
- Consistently name command line parsing routines.
- Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have
been specified.
- Add comments to code
- Describe some of the subtle interactions
- Describe semantics of command line arguments
This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of
gigantic huge pages to preallocate. Previously on X86 command line,
hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G
would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and,
# grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo
HugePages_Total: 0
# sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages
vm.nr_hugepages = 2
vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2
# cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
2
After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc,
sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this.
To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was
made to command line processing. Previously the command line,
hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256
would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages. The value 128 would
be ignored without any warning. After this patch, 128 2M pages will be
allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of
256 is ignored. This change in behavior is required because allocation of
implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the
default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages. Previously the
code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate
pages of default size. However the bootmem allocator required for
gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

hugetlb_add_hstate() prints a warning if the hstate already exists. This
was originally done as part of kernel command line parsing. If
'hugepagesz=' was specified more than once, the warning
pr_warn("hugepagesz= specified twice, ignoring\n");
would be printed.
Some architectures want to enable all huge page sizes. They would call
hugetlb_add_hstate for all supported sizes. However, this was done after
command line processing and as a result hstates could have already been
created for some sizes. To make sure no warning were printed, there would
often be code like:
if (!size_to_hstate(size)
hugetlb_add_hstate(ilog2(size) - PAGE_SHIFT)
The only time we want to print the warning is as the result of command
line processing. So, remove the warning from hugetlb_add_hstate and add
it to the single arch independent routine processing "hugepagesz=". After
this, calls to size_to_hstate() in arch specific code can be removed and
hugetlb_add_hstate can be called without worrying about warning messages.

Now that architectures provide arch_hugetlb_valid_size(), parsing of
"hugepagesz=" can be done in architecture independent code. Create a
single routine to handle hugepagesz= parsing and remove all arch specific
routines. We can also remove the interface hugetlb_bad_size() as this is
no longer used outside arch independent code.
This also provides consistent behavior of hugetlbfs command line options.
The hugepagesz= option should only be specified once for a specific size,
but some architectures allow multiple instances. This appears to be more
of an oversight when code was added by some architectures to set up ALL
huge pages sizes.

Patch series "Clean up hugetlb boot command line processing", v4.
Longpeng(Mike) reported a weird message from hugetlb command line
processing and proposed a solution [1]. While the proposed patch does
address the specific issue, there are other related issues in command line
processing. As hugetlbfs evolved, updates to command line processing have
been made to meet immediate needs and not necessarily in a coordinated
manner. The result is that some processing is done in arch specific code,
some is done in arch independent code and coordination is problematic.
Semantics can vary between architectures.
The patch series does the following:
- Define arch specific arch_hugetlb_valid_size routine used to validate
passed huge page sizes.
- Move hugepagesz= command line parsing out of arch specific code and into
an arch independent routine.
- Clean up command line processing to follow desired semantics and
document those semantics.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200305033014.1152-1-longpeng2@huawei.com
This patch (of 3):
The architecture independent routine hugetlb_default_setup sets up the
default huge pages size. It has no way to verify if the passed value is
valid, so it accepts it and attempts to validate at a later time. This
requires undocumented cooperation between the arch specific and arch
independent code.
For architectures that support more than one huge page size, provide a
routine arch_hugetlb_valid_size to validate a huge page size.
hugetlb_default_setup can use this to validate passed values.
arch_hugetlb_valid_size will also be used in a subsequent patch to move
processing of the "hugepagesz=" in arch specific code to a common routine
in arch independent code.

'max_ptes_shared' specifies how many pages can be shared across multiple
processes. Exceeding the number would block the collapse::

A higher value may increase memory footprint for some workloads.
By default, at least half of pages has to be not shared.

Currently we have different copy-on-write semantics for anon- and
file-THP. For anon-THP we try to allocate huge page on the write fault,
but on file-THP we split PMD and allocate 4k page.
Arguably, file-THP semantics is more desirable: we don't necessary want to
unshare full PMD range from the parent on the first access. This is the
primary reason THP is unusable for some workloads, like Redis.
The original THP refcounting didn't allow to have PTE-mapped compound
pages, so we had no options, but to allocate huge page on CoW (with
fallback to 512 4k pages).
The current refcounting doesn't have such limitations and we can cut a lot
of complex code out of fault path.
khugepaged is now able to recover THP from such ranges if the
configuration allows.

The page can be included into collapse as long as it doesn't have extra
pins (from GUP or otherwise).
Logic to check the refcount is moved to a separate function. For pages in
swap cache, add compound_nr(page) to the expected refcount, in order to
handle the compound page case. This is in preparation for the following
patch.
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() was removed from __collapse_huge_page_copy() as the
invariant it checks is no longer valid: the source can be mapped multiple
times now.

collapse_huge_page() tries to swap in pages that are part of the PMD
range. Just swapped in page goes though LRU add cache. The cache gets
extra reference on the page.
The extra reference can lead to the collapse fail: the following
__collapse_huge_page_isolate() would check refcount and abort collapse
seeing unexpected refcount.
The fix is to drain local LRU add cache in
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() if we successfully swapped in any pages.

Having a page in LRU add cache offsets page refcount and gives

__collapse_huge_page_swapin() checks the number of referenced PTE to
decide if the memory range is hot enough to justify swapin.
We have few problems with the approach:
- It is way too late: we can do the check much earlier and safe time.
khugepaged_scan_pmd() already knows if we have any pages to swap in
and number of referenced page.
- It stops collapse altogether if there's not enough referenced pages,
not only swappingin.
Fix it by making the right check early. We also can avoid additional
page table scanning if khugepaged_scan_pmd() haven't found any swap
entries.

Deferred page init used to report the number of pages initialized:
node 0 initialised, 32439114 pages in 97ms
Tracking this makes the code more complicated when using multiple threads.
Given that the statistic probably has limited value, especially since a
zone grows on demand so that the page count can vary, just remove it.
The boot message now looks like

Initializing struct pages is a long task and keeping interrupts disabled
for the duration of this operation introduces a number of problems.
1. jiffies are not updated for long period of time, and thus incorrect time
is reported. See proposed solution and discussion here:
lkml/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
2. It prevents farther improving deferred page initialization by allowing
intra-node multi-threading.
We are keeping interrupts disabled to solve a rather theoretical problem
that was never observed in real world (See 3a2d7fa8a3).
Let's keep interrupts enabled. In case we ever encounter a scenario where
an interrupt thread wants to allocate large amount of memory this early in
boot we can deal with that by growing zone (see deferred_grow_zone()) by
the needed amount before starting deferred_init_memmap() threads.
Before:
[ 1.232459] node 0 initialised, 12058412 pages in 1ms
After:
[ 1.632580] node 0 initialised, 12051227 pages in 436ms

Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4.
Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to
make code more modular and allow jiffies to update.
Original approach, and discussion can be found here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
This patch (of 3):
deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls
touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats. Soon it
will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be
used instead.
deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared
with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so
it can't call cond_resched().
Pull the watchdog calls up to these two places to allow the first to be
changed later, independently of the second. The frequency reduces from
twice per pageblock (init and free) to once per max order block.

Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like min_free_kbytes,
water_mark_scale_factor etc, when ->watermark_boost is set will result in
higher low and high watermarks than the user asked.
Below are the steps to reproduce the problem on system setup of Android
kernel running on Snapdragon hardware.
1) Default settings of the system are as below:
#cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes = 5162
#cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node
Node 0, zone Normal
min 797
low 8340
high 8539
2) Monitor the zone->watermark_boost(by adding a debug print in the
kernel) and whenever it is greater than zero value, write the same
value of min_free_kbytes obtained from step 1.
#echo 5162 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
3) Then read the zone watermarks in the system while the
->watermark_boost is zero. This should show the same values of
watermarks as step 1 but shown a higher values than asked.
#cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node
Node 0, zone Normal
min 797
low 21148
high 21347
These higher values are because of updating the zone watermarks using the
macro min_wmark_pages(zone) which also adds the zone->watermark_boost.
#define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] +
z->watermark_boost)
So the steps that lead to the issue are:
1) On the extfrag event, watermarks are boosted by storing the required
value in ->watermark_boost.
2) User tries to update the zone watermarks level in the system through
min_free_kbytes or watermark_scale_factor.
3) Later, when kswapd woke up, it resets the zone->watermark_boost to
zero.
In step 2), we use the min_wmark_pages() macro to store the watermarks
in the zone structure thus the values are always offsetted by
->watermark_boost value. This can be avoided by resetting the
->watermark_boost to zero before it is used.

Initially, the per-cpu pagesets of each zone are set to the boot pagesets.
The real pagesets are allocated later but before that happens, page
allocations do occur and the numa stats for the boot pagesets get
incremented since they are common to all zones at that point.
The real pagesets, however, are allocated for the populated zones only.
Unpopulated zones, like those associated with memory-less nodes, continue
using the boot pageset and end up skewing the numa stats of the
corresponding node.
E.g.
$ numactl -H
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 free: 0 MB
node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7
node 1 size: 8131 MB
node 1 free: 6980 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 40
1: 40 10
$ numastat
node0 node1
numa_hit 108 56495
numa_miss 0 0
numa_foreign 0 0
interleave_hit 0 4537
local_node 108 31547
other_node 0 24948
Hence, the boot pageset stats need to be cleared after the real pagesets
are allocated.
After this point, the stats of the boot pagesets do not change as page
allocations requested for a memory-less node will either fail (if
__GFP_THISNODE is used) or get fulfilled by a preferred zone of a
different node based on the fallback zonelist.

The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed
after integration.
In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to
highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

Patch series "integrate classzone_idx and high_zoneidx", v5.
This patchset is followup of the problem reported and discussed two years
ago [1, 2]. The problem this patchset solves is related to the
classzone_idx on the NUMA system. It causes a problem when the lowmem
reserve protection exists for some zones on a node that do not exist on
other nodes.
This problem was reported two years ago, and, at that time, the solution
got general agreements [2]. But it was not upstreamed.

This patch (of 2):
Currently, we use classzone_idx to calculate lowmem reserve proetection
for an allocation request. This classzone_idx causes a problem on NUMA
systems when the lowmem reserve protection exists for some zones on a node
that do not exist on other nodes.
Before further explanation, I should first clarify how to compute the
classzone_idx and the high_zoneidx.
- ac->high_zoneidx is computed via the arcane gfp_zone(gfp_mask) and
represents the index of the highest zone the allocation can use
- classzone_idx was supposed to be the index of the highest zone on the
local node that the allocation can use, that is actually available in
the system
Think about following example. Node 0 has 4 populated zone,
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE. Node 1 has 1 populated zone, NORMAL. Some
zones, such as MOVABLE, doesn't exist on node 1 and this makes following
difference.
Assume that there is an allocation request whose gfp_zone(gfp_mask) is the
zone, MOVABLE. Then, it's high_zoneidx is 3. If this allocation is
initiated on node 0, it's classzone_idx is 3 since actually
available/usable zone on local (node 0) is MOVABLE. If this allocation is
initiated on node 1, it's classzone_idx is 2 since actually
available/usable zone on local (node 1) is NORMAL.
You can see that classzone_idx of the allocation request are different
according to their starting node, even if their high_zoneidx is the same.
Think more about these two allocation requests. If they are processed on
local, there is no problem. However, if allocation is initiated on node 1
are processed on remote, in this example, at the NORMAL zone on node 0,
due to memory shortage, problem occurs. Their different classzone_idx
leads to different lowmem reserve and then different min watermark. See
the following example.

- static min watermark for the NORMAL zone on node 0 is 750.
- lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 3 at the NORMAL on
node 0 is 4096.
- lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 2 at the NORMAL on
node 0 is 0.
So, overall min watermark is:
allocation initiated on node 0 (classzone_idx 3): 750 + 4096 = 4846
allocation initiated on node 1 (classzone_idx 2): 750 + 0 = 750
Allocation initiated on node 1 will have some precedence than allocation
initiated on node 0 because min watermark of the former allocation is
lower than the other. So, allocation initiated on node 1 could succeed on
node 0 when allocation initiated on node 0 could not, and, this could
cause too many numa_miss allocation. Then, performance could be
downgraded.
Recently, there was a regression report about this problem on CMA patches
since CMA memory are placed in ZONE_MOVABLE by those patches. I checked
that problem is disappeared with this fix that uses high_zoneidx for
classzone_idx.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180102063528.GG30397@yexl-desktop
Using high_zoneidx for classzone_idx is more consistent way than previous
approach because system's memory layout doesn't affect anything to it.
With this patch, both classzone_idx on above example will be 3 so will
have the same min watermark.
allocation initiated on node 0: 750 + 4096 = 4846
allocation initiated on node 1: 750 + 4096 = 4846
One could wonder if there is a side effect that allocation initiated on
node 1 will use higher bar when allocation is handled on local since
classzone_idx could be higher than before. It will not happen because the
zone without managed page doesn't contributes lowmem_reserve at all.
