X86 prefers the use of unsigned types for iterators and there is a
tendency to mix whether a signed or unsigned type if used for page order.
This converts a number of sites in mm/page_alloc.c to use unsigned int for
order where possible.

The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This
patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate
the bits of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the
bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no
other changes made in parallel.
In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related
functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%.
In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are
possible between:
a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype()
reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after
set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them.
b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic
read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause
lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype().
Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection. Vlastimil
Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs
roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not
necessarily in the same pageblock). Furthermore during development of
unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to
{start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of
times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages()
and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is
manipulated by e.g. list_move(). Further debugging confirmed that
migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the
free_list array.
That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare,
and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to
memory hot remove. Races on pageblocks being updated by
set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are
lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value
being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to
unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks.
Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is
used more, or when new migratetypes are added.
After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

cases are relatively rare events but the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check is an
unlikely branch in the fast path. This patch moves the check out of the
fast path and after it has been determined that the watermarks have not
been met. This helps the common fast path at the cost of making the slow
path slower and hitting kswapd with a performance cost. It's a reasonable

Currently, on kmem_cache_destroy we delete the cache from the slab_list
before __kmem_cache_shutdown, inserting it back to the list on failure.
Initially, this was done, because we could release the slab_mutex in
__kmem_cache_shutdown to delete sysfs slub entry, but since commit
41a212859a ("slub: use sysfs'es release mechanism for kmem_cache") we
remove sysfs entry later in kmem_cache_destroy after dropping the
slab_mutex, so that no implementation of __kmem_cache_shutdown can ever
release the lock. Therefore we can simplify the code a bit by moving
list_del after __kmem_cache_shutdown.

Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

Add plist_requeue(), which moves the specified plist_node after all other
same-priority plist_nodes in the list. This is essentially an optimized
plist_del() followed by plist_add().
This is needed by swap, which (with the next patch in this set) uses a
plist of available swap devices. When a swap device (either a swap
partition or swap file) are added to the system with swapon(), the device
is added to a plist, ordered by the swap device's priority. When swap
needs to allocate a page from one of the swap devices, it takes the page
from the first swap device on the plist, which is the highest priority
swap device. The swap device is left in the plist until all its pages are
used, and then removed from the plist when it becomes full.
However, as described in man 2 swapon, swap must allocate pages from swap
devices with the same priority in round-robin order; to do this, on each
swap page allocation, swap uses a page from the first swap device in the
plist, and then calls plist_requeue() to move that swap device entry to
after any other same-priority swap devices. The next swap page allocation
will again use a page from the first swap device in the plist and requeue
it, and so on, resulting in round-robin usage of equal-priority swap
devices.
Also add plist_test_requeue() test function, for use by plist_test() to
test plist_requeue() function.

The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

The compaction free scanner in isolate_freepages() currently remembers PFN
of the highest pageblock where it successfully isolates, to be used as the
starting pageblock for the next invocation. The rationale behind this is
that page migration might return free pages to the allocator when
migration fails and we don't want to skip them if the compaction
continues.
Since migration now returns free pages back to compaction code where they
can be reused, this is no longer a concern. This patch changes
isolate_freepages() so that the PFN for restarting is updated with each
pageblock where isolation is attempted. Using stress-highalloc from
mmtests, this resulted in 10% reduction of the pages scanned by the free
scanner.
Note that the somewhat similar functionality that records highest
successful pageblock in zone->compact_cached_free_pfn, remains unchanged.
This cache is used when the whole compaction is restarted, not for
multiple invocations of the free scanner during single compaction.

During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining
non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages(). The
freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that
migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases.
The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when
migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code. Otherwise, the
non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated,
which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages
list.
Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of
mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining
unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0.
This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes
the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when
the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a
negative error code.
Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when
there's nothing to migrate. This potentially avoids some wasted cycles
and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events
where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0". In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this
was about 75% of the events. The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event
is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and
this one was just duplicating the info.

Async compaction terminates prematurely when need_resched(), see
compact_checklock_irqsave(). This can never trigger, however, if the
cond_resched() in isolate_migratepages_range() always takes care of the
scheduling.
If the cond_resched() actually triggers, then terminate this pageblock
scan for async compaction as well.

Synchronous memory compaction can be very expensive: it can iterate an
enormous amount of memory without aborting, constantly rescheduling,
waiting on page locks and lru_lock, etc, if a pageblock cannot be
defragmented.
Unfortunately, it's too expensive for transparent hugepage page faults and
it's much better to simply fallback to pages. On 128GB machines, we find
that synchronous memory compaction can take O(seconds) for a single thp
fault.
Now that async compaction remembers where it left off without strictly
relying on sync compaction, this makes thp allocations best-effort without
causing egregious latency during fault. We still need to retry async
compaction after reclaim, but this won't stall for seconds.

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the
page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.
Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.
This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.
Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.
This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.

Greg reported that he found isolated free pages were returned back to the
VM rather than the compaction freelist. This will cause holes behind the
free scanner and cause it to reallocate additional memory if necessary
later.
He detected the problem at runtime seeing that ext4 metadata pages (esp
the ones read by "sbi->s_group_desc[i] = sb_bread(sb, block)") were
constantly visited by compaction calls of migrate_pages(). These pages
had a non-zero b_count which caused fallback_migrate_page() ->
try_to_release_page() -> try_to_free_buffers() to fail.
Memory compaction works by having a "freeing scanner" scan from one end of
a zone which isolates pages as migration targets while another "migrating
scanner" scans from the other end of the same zone which isolates pages
for migration.
When page migration fails for an isolated page, the target page is
returned to the system rather than the freelist built by the freeing
scanner. This may require the freeing scanner to continue scanning memory
after suitable migration targets have already been returned to the system
needlessly.
This patch returns destination pages to the freeing scanner freelist when
page migration fails. This prevents unnecessary work done by the freeing
scanner but also encourages memory to be as compacted as possible at the
end of the zone.

Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.
This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.
If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch
introduces no functional change.

Tracking dirty status on 2 level pages requires very ugly macros and
taking into account how old the machines who can operate without PAE
mode only are, lets drop soft dirty tracker from them for code
simplicity (note I can't drop all the macros from 2 level pages by now
since _PAGE_BIT_PROTNONE and _PAGE_BIT_FILE are still used even without
tracker).
Linus proposed to completely rip off softdirty support on x86-32 (even
with PAE) and since for CRIU we're not planning to support native x86-32
mode, lets do that.
(Softdirty tracker is relatively new feature which is mostly used by
CRIU so I don't expect if such API change would cause problems for
userspace).

I was looking at a trace of the slab shrinkers (attachment in this comment):
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72742#c67
and noticed that "total_scan" can go negative in some cases. We
used to dump out the "total_scan" variable directly, but some of
the shrinker modifications along the way changed that.
This patch just dumps it out directly, again. It doesn't make
any sense to derive it from new_nr and nr any more since there
are now other shrinkers that can be running in parallel and
mucking with those values.
Here's an example of the negative numbers in the output:
