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 ( )
Swapins 0.00 ( +0.00%) 257.00 ( )
Refaults 415246605.00 ( +0.00%) 59183722.00 ( -85.75%)
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%)
Swapins 257.00 ( +0.00%) 262.00 ( +1.94%)
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.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Add some new generic fallbacks", v3.
This series adds the following new generic fallbacks. Before that it
drops __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET from arm64 platform.
1. is_hugepage_only_range()
2. arch_clear_hugepage_flags()
After this arm (32 bit) remains the sole platform defining it's own
huge_ptep_get() via __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET.
This patch (of 3):
Platform specific huge_ptep_get() is required only when fetching the huge
PTE involves more than just dereferencing the page table pointer. This is
not the case on arm64 platform. Hence huge_ptep_pte() can be dropped
along with it's __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET subscription. Before that, it
updates the generic huge_ptep_get() with READ_ONCE() which will prevent
known page table issues with THP on arm64.

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::
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_shared
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.

We can collapse PTE-mapped compound pages. We only need to avoid handling
them more than once: lock/unlock page only once if it's present in the PMD
range multiple times as it handled on compound level. The same goes for
LRU isolation and putback.

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
false-negative on PageLRU(). It reduces collapse success rate.
Drain all LRU add caches before scanning. It happens relatively rare and
should not disturb the system too much.

__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.

Patch series "thp/khugepaged improvements and CoW semantics", v4.
The patchset adds khugepaged selftest (anon-THP only for now), expands
cases khugepaged can handle and switches anon-THP copy-on-write handling
to 4k.
This patch (of 8):
The test checks if khugepaged is able to recover huge page where we expect
to do so. It only covers anon-THP for now.
Currently the test shows few failures. They are going to be addressed by
the following patches.
