Historically, kswapd used to congestion_wait() at higher priorities if
it was not making forward progress. This made no sense as the failure
to make progress could be completely independent of IO. It was later
replaced by wait_iff_congested() and removed entirely by commit 258401a6
(mm: don't wait on congested zones in balance_pgdat()) as it was
duplicating logic in shrink_inactive_list().
This is problematic. If kswapd encounters many pages under writeback
and it continues to scan until it reaches the high watermark then it
will quickly skip over the pages under writeback and reclaim clean young
pages or push applications out to swap.
The use of wait_iff_congested() is not suited to kswapd as it will only
stall if the underlying BDI is really congested or a direct reclaimer
was unable to write to the underlying BDI. kswapd bypasses the BDI
congestion as it sets PF_SWAPWRITE but even if this was taken into
account then it would cause direct reclaimers to stall on writeback
which is not desirable.
This patch sets a ZONE_WRITEBACK flag if direct reclaim or kswapd is
encountering too many pages under writeback. If this flag is set and
kswapd encounters a PageReclaim page under writeback then it'll assume
that the LRU lists are being recycled too quickly before IO can complete
and block waiting for some IO to complete.

Currently kswapd queues dirty pages for writeback if scanning at an
elevated priority but the priority kswapd scans at is not related to the
number of unqueued dirty encountered. Since commit "mm: vmscan: Flatten
kswapd priority loop", the priority is related to the size of the LRU
and the zone watermark which is no indication as to whether kswapd
should write pages or not.
This patch tracks if an excessive number of unqueued dirty pages are
being encountered at the end of the LRU. If so, it indicates that dirty
pages are being recycled before flusher threads can clean them and flags
the zone so that kswapd will start writing pages until the zone is
balanced.

Page reclaim at priority 0 will scan the entire LRU as priority 0 is
considered to be a near OOM condition. Kswapd can reach priority 0
quite easily if it is encountering a large number of pages it cannot
reclaim such as pages under writeback. When this happens, kswapd
reclaims very aggressively even though there may be no real risk of
allocation failure or OOM.
This patch prevents kswapd reaching priority 0 and trying to reclaim the
world. Direct reclaimers will still reach priority 0 in the event of an
OOM situation.

In the past, kswapd makes a decision on whether to compact memory after
the pgdat was considered balanced. This more or less worked but it is
late to make such a decision and does not fit well now that kswapd makes
a decision whether to exit the zone scanning loop depending on reclaim
progress.
This patch will compact a pgdat if at least the requested number of
pages were reclaimed from unbalanced zones for a given priority. If any
zone is currently balanced, kswapd will not call compaction as it is
expected the necessary pages are already available.

kswapd stops raising the scanning priority when at least
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed or the pgdat is considered
balanced. It then rechecks if it needs to restart at DEF_PRIORITY and
whether high-order reclaim needs to be reset. This is not wrong per-se
but it is confusing to follow and forcing kswapd to stay at DEF_PRIORITY
may require several restarts before it has scanned enough pages to meet
the high watermark even at 100% efficiency. This patch irons out the
logic a bit by controlling when priority is raised and removing the
"goto loop_again".
This patch has kswapd raise the scanning priority until it is scanning
enough pages that it could meet the high watermark in one shrink of the
LRU lists if it is able to reclaim at 100% efficiency. It will not
raise the scanning prioirty higher unless it is failing to reclaim any
pages.
To avoid infinite looping for high-order allocation requests kswapd will
not reclaim for high-order allocations when it has reclaimed at least
twice the number of pages as the allocation request.

Simplistically, the anon and file LRU lists are scanned proportionally
depending on the value of vm.swappiness although there are other factors
taken into account by get_scan_count(). The patch "mm: vmscan: Limit
the number of pages kswapd reclaims" limits the number of pages kswapd
reclaims but it breaks this proportional scanning and may evenly shrink
anon/file LRUs regardless of vm.swappiness.
This patch preserves the proportional scanning and reclaim. It does
mean that kswapd will reclaim more than requested but the number of
pages will be related to the high watermark.

Kswapd and page reclaim behaviour has been screwy in one way or the
other for a long time. Very broadly speaking it worked in the far past
because machines were limited in memory so it did not have that many
pages to scan and it stalled congestion_wait() frequently to prevent it
going completely nuts. In recent times it has behaved very
unsatisfactorily with some of the problems compounded by the removal of
stall logic and the introduction of transparent hugepage support with
high-order reclaims.
There are many variations of bugs that are rooted in this area. One
example is reports of a large copy operations or backup causing the
machine to grind to a halt or applications pushed to swap. Sometimes in
low memory situations a large percentage of memory suddenly gets
reclaimed. In other cases an application starts and kswapd hits 100%
CPU usage for prolonged periods of time and so on. There is now talk of
introducing features like an extra free kbytes tunable to work around
aspects of the problem instead of trying to deal with it. It's
compounded by the problem that it can be very workload and machine
specific.
This series aims at addressing some of the worst of these problems
without attempting to fundmentally alter how page reclaim works.
Patches 1-2 limits the number of pages kswapd reclaims while still obeying
the anon/file proportion of the LRUs it should be scanning.
Patches 3-4 control how and when kswapd raises its scanning priority and
deletes the scanning restart logic which is tricky to follow.
Patch 5 notes that it is too easy for kswapd to reach priority 0 when
scanning and then reclaim the world. Down with that sort of thing.
Patch 6 notes that kswapd starts writeback based on scanning priority which
is not necessarily related to dirty pages. It will have kswapd
writeback pages if a number of unqueued dirty pages have been
recently encountered at the tail of the LRU.
Patch 7 notes that sometimes kswapd should stall waiting on IO to complete
to reduce LRU churn and the likelihood that it'll reclaim young
clean pages or push applications to swap. It will cause kswapd
to block on IO if it detects that pages being reclaimed under
writeback are recycling through the LRU before the IO completes.
Patchies 8-9 are cosmetic but balance_pgdat() is easier to follow after they
are applied.
This was tested using memcached+memcachetest while some background IO
was in progress as implemented by the parallel IO tests implement in MM
Tests.
memcachetest benchmarks how many operations/second memcached can service
and it is run multiple times. It starts with no background IO and then
re-runs the test with larger amounts of IO in the background to roughly
simulate a large copy in progress. The expectation is that the IO
should have little or no impact on memcachetest which is running
entirely in memory.

Note how the vanilla kernels performance collapses when there is enough
IO taking place in the background. This drop in performance is part of
what users complain of when they start backups. Note how the swapin and
major fault figures indicate that processes were being pushed to swap
prematurely. With the series applied, there is no noticable performance
drop and while there is still some swap activity, it's tiny.
20 iterations of this test were run in total and averaged. Every 5
iterations, additional IO was generated in the background using dd to
measure how the workload was impacted. The 0M, 715M, 2385M and 4055M
subblock refer to the amount of IO going on in the background at each
iteration. So memcachetest-2385M is reporting how many
transactions/second memcachetest recorded on average over 5 iterations
while there was 2385M of IO going on in the ground. There are six
blocks of information reported here
memcachetest is the transactions/second reported by memcachetest. In
the vanilla kernel note that performance drops from around
22K/sec to just under 4K/second when there is 2385M of IO going
on in the background. This is one type of performance collapse
users complain about if a large cp or backup starts in the
background
io-duration refers to how long it takes for the background IO to
complete. It's showing that with the patched kernel that the IO
completes faster while not interfering with the memcache
workload
swaptotal is the total amount of swap traffic. With the patched kernel,
the total amount of swapping is much reduced although it is
still not zero.
swapin in this case is an indication as to whether we are swap trashing.
The closer the swapin/swapout ratio is to 1, the worse the
trashing is. Note with the patched kernel that there is no swapin
activity indicating that all the pages swapped were really inactive
unused pages.
minorfaults are just minor faults. An increased number of minor faults
can indicate that page reclaim is unmapping the pages but not
swapping them out before they are faulted back in. With the
patched kernel, there is only a small change in minor faults
majorfaults are just major faults in the target workload and a high
number can indicate that a workload is being prematurely
swapped. With the patched kernel, major faults are much reduced. As
there are no swapin's recorded so it's not being swapped. The likely
explanation is that that libraries or configuration files used by
the workload during startup get paged out by the background IO.
Overall with the series applied, there is no noticable performance drop
due to background IO and while there is still some swap activity, it's
tiny and the lack of swapins imply that the swapped pages were inactive
and unused.

Unfortunately, note that there is a small amount of direct reclaim due to
kswapd no longer reclaiming the world. ftrace indicates that the direct
reclaim stalls are mostly harmless with the vast bulk of the stalls

49 memcachetest-12443

A consequence of the direct reclaim for dd is that the processes for the
IO workload may show a higher system CPU usage. There is also a risk that
kswapd not reclaiming the world may mean that it stays awake balancing
zones, does not stall on the appropriate events and continually scans
pages it cannot reclaim consuming CPU. This will be visible as continued
high CPU usage but in my own tests I only saw a single spike lasting less
than a second and I did not observe any problems related to reclaim while
running the series on my desktop.
This patch:
The number of pages kswapd can reclaim is bound by the number of pages it
scans which is related to the size of the zone and the scanning priority.
In many cases the priority remains low because it's reset every
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX reclaimed pages but in the event kswapd scans a large
number of pages it cannot reclaim, it will raise the priority and
potentially discard a large percentage of the zone as sc->nr_to_reclaim is
ULONG_MAX. The user-visible effect is a reclaim "spike" where a large
percentage of memory is suddenly freed. It would be bad enough if this
was just unused memory but because of how anon/file pages are balanced it
is possible that applications get pushed to swap unnecessarily.
This patch limits the number of pages kswapd will reclaim to the high
watermark. Reclaim will still overshoot due to it not being a hard limit
as shrink_lruvec() will ignore the sc.nr_to_reclaim at DEF_PRIORITY but it
prevents kswapd reclaiming the world at higher priorities. The number of
pages it reclaims is not adjusted for high-order allocations as kswapd
will reclaim excessively if it is to balance zones for high-order
allocations.

When memory hotplug is triggered, we call pageset_init() on
per-cpu-pagesets which both contain pages and are in use, causing both the
leakage of those pages and (potentially) bad behaviour if a page is
allocated from a pageset while it is being cleared.
Avoid this by factoring out pageset_set_high_and_batch() (which contains
all needed logic too set a pageset's ->high and ->batch inrespective of
system state) from zone_pageset_init() and using the new
pageset_set_high_and_batch() instead of zone_pageset_init() in
zone_pcp_update().

zone_pcp_update()'s goal is to adjust the ->high and ->mark members of a
percpu pageset based on a zone's ->managed_pages. We don't need to drain
the entire percpu pageset just to modify these fields.
This lets us avoid calling setup_pageset() (and the draining required to
call it) and instead allows simply setting the fields' values (with some
attention paid to memory barriers to prevent the relationship between
->batch and ->high from being thrown off).
This does change the behavior of zone_pcp_update() as the percpu pagesets
will not be drained when zone_pcp_update() is called (they will end up
being shrunk, not completely drained, later when a 0-order page is freed
in free_hot_cold_page()).

Introduce pageset_update() to perform a safe transision from one set of
pcp->{batch,high} to a new set using memory barriers.
This ensures that batch is always set to a safe value (1) prior to
updating high, and ensure that high is fully updated before setting the
real value of batch. It avoids ->batch ever rising above ->high.

"Problems" with the current code:
1: there is a lack of synchronization in setting ->high and ->batch in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()
2: stop_machine() in zone_pcp_update() is unnecissary.
3: zone_pcp_update() does not consider the case where
percpu_pagelist_fraction is non-zero
To fix:
1: add memory barriers, a safe ->batch value, an update side mutex when
updating ->high and ->batch, and use ACCESS_ONCE() for ->batch users
that expect a stable value.
2: avoid draining pages in zone_pcp_update(), rely upon the memory
barriers added to fix#1
3: factor out quite a few functions, and then call the appropriate one.
Note that it results in a change to the behavior of zone_pcp_update(),
which is used by memory_hotplug. I'm rather certain that I've diserned
(and preserved) the essential behavior (changing ->high and ->batch), and
only eliminated unneeded actions (draining the per cpu pages), but this
may not be the case.
Further note that the draining of pages that previously took place in
zone_pcp_update() occured after repeated draining when attempting to
offline a page, and after the offline has "succeeded". It appears that
the draining was added to zone_pcp_update() to avoid refactoring
setup_pageset() into 2 funtions.
This patch:
Creates pageset_set_batch() for use in setup_pageset().
pageset_set_batch() imitates the functionality of
setup_pagelist_highmark(), but uses the boot time
(percpu_pagelist_fraction == 0) calculations for determining ->high based
on ->batch.

Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be
swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write.
But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory
space until vm_swap_full(ie, used half of all of swap device) condition
meet. It could be bad if we use multiple swap device, small in-memory
swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone.
This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is
completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be
written out the swap device to reclaim it. It means we never lose it.
I tested this patch with kernel compile workload.

In order to reuse bits from pagemap entries gracefully, we leave the
entries as is but on pagemap open emit a warning in dmesg, that bits
55-60 are about to change in a couple of releases. Next, if a user
issues soft-dirty clear command via the clear_refs file (it was disabled
before v3.9) we assume that he's aware of the new pagemap format, note
that fact and report the bits in pagemap in the new manner.
The "migration strategy" looks like this then:
1. existing users are not affected -- they don't touch soft-dirty feature, thus
see old bits in pagemap, but are warned and have time to fix themselves
2. those who use soft-dirty know about new pagemap format
3. some time soon we get rid of any signs of page-shift in pagemap as well as
this trick with clear-soft-dirty affecting pagemap format.

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

This is the implementation of the soft-dirty bit concept that should
help keep track of changes in user memory, which in turn is very-very
required by the checkpoint-restore project (http://criu.org).
To create a dump of an application(s) we save all the information about
it to files, and the biggest part of such dump is the contents of tasks'
memory. However, there are usage scenarios where it's not required to
get _all_ the task memory while creating a dump. For example, when
doing periodical dumps, it's only required to take full memory dump only
at the first step and then take incremental changes of memory. Another
example is live migration. We copy all the memory to the destination
node without stopping all tasks, then stop them, check for what pages
has changed, dump it and the rest of the state, then copy it to the
destination node. This decreases freeze time significantly.
That said, some help from kernel to watch how processes modify the
contents of their memory is required.
The proposal is to track changes with the help of new soft-dirty bit
this way:
1. First do "echo 4 > /proc/$pid/clear_refs".
At that point kernel clears the soft dirty _and_ the writable bits from all
ptes of process $pid. From now on every write to any page will result in #pf
and the subsequent call to pte_mkdirty/pmd_mkdirty, which in turn will set
the soft dirty flag.
2. Then read the /proc/$pid/pagemap2 and check the soft-dirty bit reported there
(the 55'th one). If set, the respective pte was written to since last call
to clear refs.
The soft-dirty bit is the _PAGE_BIT_HIDDEN one. Although it's used by
kmemcheck, the latter one marks kernel pages with it, while the former
bit is put on user pages so they do not conflict to each other.
This patch:
A new clear-refs type will be added in the next patch, so prepare
code for that.

2885 cgc->buffer = kmalloc(blocksize, GFP_KERNEL);
2886 if (cgc->buffer == NULL)
2887 return -ENOMEM;
In line 2908 we can find the copy_to_user function:
2908 if (!ret && copy_to_user(arg, cgc->buffer, blocksize))
The cgc->buffer is never cleaned and initialized before this function.
If ret = 0 with the previous basic block, it's possible to display some
memory bytes in kernel space from userspace.
When we read a block from the disk it normally fills the ->buffer but if
the drive is malfunctioning there is a chance that it would only be
partially filled. The result is an leak information to userspace.

Inlined xattr shared free space of inode block with inlined data or data
extent record, so the size of the later two should be adjusted when
inlined xattr is enabled. See ocfs2_xattr_ibody_init(). But this isn't
done well when reflink. For inode with inlined data, its max inlined
data size is adjusted in ocfs2_duplicate_inline_data(), no problem. But
for inode with data extent record, its record count isn't adjusted. Fix
it, or data extent record and inlined xattr may overwrite each other,
then cause data corruption or xattr failure.

While deleting a file with ocfs2_unlink(), there is a bug in this
function. This bug will result in filesystem read-only.
After calling ocfs2_orphan_add(), the file which will be deleted is
added into orphan dir. If ocfs2_delete_entry() fails, the file still
exists in the parent dir. And this scenario introduces a conflict of
metadata.
If a file is added into orphan dir, when we put inode of the file with
iput(), the inode i_flags is setted (~OCFS2_VALID_FL) in
ocfs2_remove_inode(), and then write back to disk.
But as previously mentioned, the file still exists in the parent dir.
On other nodes, the file can be still accessed. When first read the
file with ocfs2_read_blocks() from disk, It will check and avalidate
inode using ocfs2_validate_inode_block(). So File system will be
readonly because the inode is invalid. In other words, the inode
i_flags has been set (~OCFS2_VALID_FL).

- Only the previous block group buffer has got dirty if failed to call

While adding a file into orphan dir in ocfs2_orphan_add(), it calls
__ocfs2_add_entry() before ocfs2_journal_access_di(). If
ocfs2_journal_access_di() failed, the file is added into orphan dir, and
orphan dir dinode updated, but file dinode has not been updated.
Accordingly, the data is not consistent between file dinode and orphan
dir.
So, need to call ocfs2_journal_access_di() before __ocfs2_add_entry(),
and if ocfs2_journal_access_di() failed, orphan_fe and
orphan_dir_inode->i_nlink need rollback.

There is a memory leak in sc_kref_release(). When free struct
o2net_sock_container (sc), we should release sc->sc_page.

While adding extends to a file, the credits are calculated incorrectly
and if the requested clusters is more than one (or more because we used
a conservative limit) then we run out of journal credits and we hit an
assert in journalling code.
The function parameter bits_wanted variable was not used at all.

In ocfs2_remove_btree_range, when calling ocfs2_lock_refcount_tree and
ocfs2_prepare_refcount_change_for_del failed, it goes to out and then
tries to call mutex_unlock without mutex_lock before. And when calling
ocfs2_reserve_blocks_for_rec_trunc failed, it should free ref_tree
before return.
